Item 1.  Business

(a)    General Development of Business

       Humphrey  Hospitality  Trust,  Inc. (the  "Company") was  incorporated on
August 23, 1994, to acquire equity interests in eight existing hotel properties.
The Company is a self-administered, Virginia corporation and qualifies as a real
estate  investment  trust ("REIT") for federal  income tax purposes.  During the
fourth quarter of 1994, the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO")
of 1,321,700 shares of $.01 par value common stock. The offering price per share
was $6, resulting in gross proceeds of $7,930,200.  Net of underwriters discount
and offering expenses, the Company received proceeds of $6,949,899.

       Upon completion of the IPO, the Company contributed  substantially all of
the net proceeds of the  offering to Humphrey  Hospitality  Limited  Partnership
(the "Partnership") in exchange for a 71.46% general partnership interest in the
Partnership.  The  Partnership  used the proceeds from the Company to acquire an
equity  interest in seven  existing hotel  properties and a general  partnership
interest  in  Solomons   Beacon  Inn  Limited   Partnership   (the   "Subsidiary
Partnership") (such interests, collectively, the "Initial Hotels") and to retire
certain  indebtedness  relating to the Initial Hotels. The Partnership  acquired
the Initial Hotels in exchange for (i) approximately  $4.8 million in cash, (ii)
units of limited  partnership  interest in the  Partnership  ("Units") which are
redeemable,  subject to certain limitations,  for an aggregate of 527,866 Common
Shares,  with a value of  approximately  $3.2 million  based on the IPO offering
price, and (iii) the assumption of approximately  $15.5 million of indebtedness.
James I. Humphrey,  Jr., the Chairman and President of the Company, and Humphrey
Associates,  Inc.  received  Units  aggregating a 28.54% equity  interest in the
Partnership.  The Partnership  owns a 99% general  partnership  interest and the
Company owns a 1% limited  partnership  interest in the Subsidiary  Partnership.
Hotel  properties are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable  value. The
Company began operations on November 29, 1994.

       On July 21, 1995,  the Company  completed a second  public  offering (the
"Second Stock Offering") of 1,010,000 shares of common stock. The gross proceeds
were  $7,827,500  based  on the  offering  price  of  $7.75  per  share.  Net of
underwriters'  discount and offering expenses,  the Company received proceeds of
approximately  $6,957,000.  The  Company  used the  proceeds  to  repay  certain
indebtedness  and  through  the  Partnership,  acquired  the Days  Inn  Hotel in
Farmville,  Virginia (the "Days Inn Hotel"), which has 60 rooms and was built in
1989.  The  Partnership  acquired  the Days Inn  Hotel  from  Farmville  Lodging
Associates,  LLC (the "LLC"), a Maryland limited  liability company in which Mr.
Humphrey owns a 98% equity interest. The Partnership acquired the Days Inn Hotel
in  exchange  for (i) 95,484  Units,  which are  redeemable,  subject to certain
limitations,  for an  aggregate  of  95,484  shares  of  common  stock  and (ii)
assumption of approximately $1.23 million of debt secured by the Days Inn Hotel,
which was repaid  immediately  with proceeds of the Second Stock  Offering.  The
95,484 Units issued to the LLC in  connection  with the purchase of the Days Inn
Hotel have a value of approximately  $740,000 based on the offering price of the
Second Stock  Offering.  The acquisition of the Days Inn Hotel has been recorded
by the  Company  at the  affiliate's  historical  cost  which  is less  than net
realizable value. The equity of the Days Inn Hotel, net of the portion allocated
to the minority  interest,  has been recorded as an increase in paid-in capital.
Upon  completion  of the  Second  Stock  Offering,  the  Company  owned a 78.91%
partnership interest,  and Mr. Humphrey,  Humphrey Associates,  Inc. and the LLC
(the  "Humphrey  Affiliates")  collectively  owned  a  21.09%  interest  in  the
Partnership.

       On  February  9,  1996,  the  Company's  Lessee,   Humphrey   Hospitality
Management,  Inc.,  (the  "Lessee")  announced the  termination of its operating
agreements with the Humphrey Hotels, Inc., (the "Operator") effective January 1,
1996. The Lessee  immediately  began  operating all of the hotels that it leases
from the Company.  All  personnel  from the Operator were  immediately  hired in
identical  capacities  by the Lessee.  The Lessee  intends to operate the hotels
throughout the lease term.

       In April, 1996, the Company  established a secured credit facility in the
amount of $6.5  million  with  Mercantile  Safe  Deposit and Trust  Company (the
"Credit  Facility")  to refinance  certain  existing  debt  (approximately  $1.7
million)  and pay the  development  cost of a  Comfort  Suites  hotel in  Dover,
Delaware (the "New  Development").  The term of the Credit Facility is for three
years  with two  one-year  extensions  at the  option  of the bank.  The  Credit
Facility bears interest at the prime rate plus 25 basis points,  presently 8.5%,
and is  cross-collateralized by liens on the Company hotels located in Dahlgren,
Virginia; Farmville, Virginia (both Hotels); Elizabethton, Tennessee; Princeton,
West Virginia; and Solomons, Maryland.

                                       3

       On April 15, 1996, the Company purchased, from a third party, a 1.32 acre
lot in Dover Delaware,  using borrowings from the Credit Facility,  to develop a
64-unit  Comfort  Suites  hotel.  The Company  executed  an amended  development
services agreement (the "Development Agreement") with Humphrey Development, Inc.
("Humphrey  Development"),  a Humphrey  Affiliate,  pursuant  to which  Humphrey
Development provides construction supervision and will pay any development costs
in excess of $2,795,910 in exchange for a right to purchase the New  Development
from the Company on the sixth  anniversary of its commencement of operations for
$2,795,910. The hotel commenced operations on January 22, 1997.

       On October 4, 1996 Joseph T. Howell  resigned from the Company's Board of
Directors,  citing lack of time to devote to the  Company.  On November 5, 1996,
the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Jeffrey M. Zwerdling to serve the remainder
of Mr. Howell's term,  which expires at the 1997 annual meeting of the Company's
shareholders.

       On  October  30,  1996,  the  Common  Stock  began to trade on The Nasdaq
National  Market.  Prior to that date, the Common Stock was traded on The Nasdaq
SmallCap  Market.  The Company  believes that by trading on The Nasdaq  National
Market,  shares of the Common  Stock may become more liquid and the  shareholder
base  of the  Company  may  expand  geographically  and  structurally  with  the
potential for Common Shares to be held by residents of almost every state and by
institutional investors.

       On December 6, 1996, the Company  completed a third public  offering (the
"Third Stock  Offering") of 1,150,000 shares of common stock. The gross proceeds
were  $9,487,500  based  on the  offering  price  of  $8.25  per  share.  Net of
underwriters'  discount and offering expenses,  the Company received proceeds of
approximately   $8,645,000.   The  Company   used  the  proceeds  (i)  to  repay
approximately $660,000 of outstanding debt on the Credit Facility secured by six
of the hotels and the New  Development,  (ii) to repay the costs associated with
the development of the New Development which were  approximately $1.6 million at
December 31, 1996;  and (iii) to  establish a fund for future  acquisitions  and
development.  Upon completion of the Third Stock  Offering,  the Company owns an
84.82%  partnership  interest,  and the Humphrey  Affiliates  collectively own a
15.18% interest in the Partnership.

       On January 22, 1997,  the Company's New  Development,  the Comfort Suites
hotel located in Dover,  Delaware,  opened for business.  The hotel is leased by
the  Lessee for a fixed  lease  payment  of  $378,840  a year,  payable in equal
monthly installments and prorated for any partial month.

       On February 26, 1997,  the Company  closed on the purchase of the Comfort
Inn hotel  located in  Culpeper,  Virginia.  The Company  assumed  approximately
$1,220,000 in taxable and tax exempt bond  financing and utilized  approximately
$680,000 in cash for the purchase. The hotel is leased by the Lessee pursuant to
a Percentage  Lease which provides for rent based, in part, on the room revenues
from the hotel.

       On March 17, 1997,  the Company closed on the purchase of the Comfort Inn
hotel located in New Castle,  Pennsylvania.  The Company paid $3 million in cash
for the site. The hotel is leased by the Lessee  pursuant to a Percentage  Lease
which provides for rent based, in part, on the room revenues from the hotel.

       In March,  1997, the Company  contracted to purchase three hotels, the 63
room Best Western Hotel in Harlan,  Kentucky, the 62 room Holiday Inn Express in
Danville,  Kentucky and the 56 room Comfort Inn in Murphy,  North Carolina.  The
total  price of the hotels is $7.325  million  and will be  purchased  utilizing
proceeds from the Third Stock Offering and borrowings from the Credit Facility.

(b)    Financial Information About Industry Segment

       The Company is in the business of acquiring  equity interests in existing
hotel properties.  See the Consolidated  Financial  Statements and notes thereto
included  in Item 14 of this Annual  Report on Form 10-K for  certain  financial
information required in Item 1.

                                       4

(c)    Narrative Description of Business

       General. At December 31, 1996, the Company owned, through the Partnership
and the  Subsidiary  Partnership,  the  Initial  Hotels  and the Days Inn  Hotel
(collectively "the Hotels"),  containing 617 rooms located in Virginia (5), West
Virginia (2), Maryland (1), and Tennessee (1). The Hotels are leased to Humphrey
Hospitality  Management,  Inc. The  Company's  primary  objective is to increase
amounts   distributable  to  shareholders  and  enhance   shareholder  value  by
participating in increased  revenue from the Hotels through leases which provide
for  rent  payments  based  on the  revenue  from the  Hotels  (the  "Percentage
Leases"),  by acquiring equity interests in additional existing hotels that meet
the Company's  investment  criteria and by developing new nationally  franchised
hotels.

       Internal Growth Strategy.  The Company's use of Percentage  Leases allows
the Company to participate in increased revenue from the Hotels.  The Percentage
Leases  provide  for the Lessee to pay  monthly  base rent  ("Base  Rent")  plus
percentage  rent  ("Percentage  Rent").  The  Percentage  Rent for each Hotel is
comprised of (i) a set  percentage  of quarterly and  semi-annual  room revenue,
which  is  payable  quarterly  and  semi-annually,   respectively,  (ii)  a  set
percentage of annual room revenue in excess of a threshold amount ("Threshold"),
which is  payable  annually,  and (iii) 8% of  monthly  revenue  other than room
revenue  (including,  but not limited to, telephone  charges,  movie rental fees
and, in the case of the Comfort Inn - Beacon Marina, Solomons,  Maryland, rental
payments  under the third party leases of its  restaurant and yacht yard as well
as marina  revenue),  which is payable  monthly.  The portion of Percentage Rent
that is based on  annual  room  revenue  does not  apply to  amounts  under  the
Threshold  and is  designed to allow the  Company to  participate  in any future
increases in room revenue.  The Base Rent and Percentage  Rents are  hereinafter
referred to collectively as "Rent".  Under the Percentage  Leases, the principal
determinant of Percentage Rent is room revenue.

       The Company intends to limit  consolidated  indebtedness to less than 50%
of the aggregate  purchase  price paid by the Company for any hotels in which it
has invested. As of December 31, 1996, the Company's  consolidated  indebtedness
was equal to  approximately  30.2% of the aggregate  purchase prices paid by the
Company  for  the  Hotels  of  $25.5  million  and  cost  incurred  for  the New
Development of $1.6 million as of December 31, 1996. In addition to limiting the
amount of leverage, the Company's strategy for internal growth includes:

o      Professional  Management and Sales Programs.  Effective  January 1, 1996,
       the Lessee  manages the Hotels,  prior to that the  Operator  managed the
       hotels.  The Operator and the Lessee, as its successor,  have been in the
       business of managing hotel properties since 1989 and currently  operate 9
       hotels with 617 rooms in 4 states.  The  Operator  managed  each  Initial
       Hotel for more than five years and the Days Inn Hotel since 1994.

o      Licensed  Properties.  Because it believes it may benefit  from access to
       national  reservation  systems and  advertising  and  marketing  programs
       provided by franchisors,  the Company intends to cause  substantially all
       of its hotel  properties to be operated as  franchises of national  hotel
       systems. Seven of the Hotels are licensed to operate as Comfort Inns, one
       as a Best Western Hotel, and one as a Days Inn Hotel.

       Acquisition Strategy.  The Company intends to acquire equity interests in
hotel properties that meet the Company's investment criteria described below.

o      nationally franchised hotels in locations with relatively high demand for
       rooms,   with  relatively  low  supply  of  competing   hotels  and  with
       significant barriers to entry into the hotel business, such as a scarcity
       of suitable hotel sites or zoning restrictions;

o      poorly  managed  hotels,  which could  benefit from new  management,  new
       marketing strategy and association with a national franchisor;

o      hotels  in  a  deteriorated   physical   condition  which  could  benefit
       significantly from renovations; and

o      hotels in attractive  locations  that the Company  believes could benefit
       significantly  by changing  franchises to a grade the Company believes is
       more appropriate for the location and clientele.

                                       5

<PAGE>

       Development Strategy. The Company intends to grow through the development
of new hotels as well as from the  acquisition of existing  hotels.  The Company
intends to develop  limited-service  hotels in secondary  and tertiary  markets,
typically  with  under 100 rooms,  that are  similar  to the  Company's  present
hotels. The Company is interested in sites that offer the potential to attract a
diverse mix of potential market segments.

       The Company's site selection  criteria is expected to include some or all
       of the following characteristics:

o      Relatively   low  land  costs,   particularly   as  compared  with  major
       metropolitan areas.

o      Sites that exist on or near major highways.

o      Areas that have strong  industrial  bases with the  potential  for future
       growth.

o      Communities   with   state  or   federal   installations,   colleges   or
       universities.

o      Sites that have an aging hotel presence currently in place.

       These criteria describe the basic  characteristics that the Company looks
for prior to  committing  to the  development  of a new  hotel.  Sites  that are
selected may have some or all of the market  characteristics as described above,
as well as characteristics that are not specifically described herein. It is not
anticipated  that all sites  selected  by the  Company  will  possess all of the
characteristics described herein.

       In January,  1997, the Company  completed the  development of the Comfort
Suites Hotel, located in Dover,  Delaware. The Comfort Suites contains 64 units,
each with a refrigerator and microwave. Other amenities include an outdoor pool,
meeting room, and deluxe continental breakfast.

       The Company's  investment and acquisition  policies may be changed by the
Board of Directors without shareholder approval.

       Operating  Practices.  The Lessee  utilizes a centralized  accounting and
data  processing  system  which  facilitates  financial  statements  and  budget
preparations,  payroll management, internal auditing and other support functions
for the on-site hotel management team. The Lessee provides  centralized  control
over purchasing and project  management  (which can create economies of scale in
purchasing) while emphasizing local discretion within specific guidelines.

       The Lessee  develops a written  marketing plan annually for each property
with  a  strong  emphasis  on  room  revenue,   market  segmentation  and  yield
management.

       Each hotel property  managed by the Lessee employs a general  manager who
is responsible for the overall operations of the hotel.  General managers report
to regional managers,  who generally have responsibility for two to four hotels.
Daily  operations  are managed  with a  centralized  approach  through  regional
operations managers who report to the Lessee's central office as applicable. The
Lessee's strategy is to encourage decision-making by those people closest to the
hotel operation at the lowest administrative cost.

       Property  Management.  In order for the  Company  to  qualify  as a REIT,
neither the Company, the Partnership nor the Subsidiary  Partnership can operate
hotels.  Therefore,  each of the  Hotels is leased to the  Lessee,  who prior to
February 1996  contracted  the  management  of the hotels to the Operator  under
separate  Operating  Agreements  with  the  Lessee.  Pursuant  to the  Operating
Agreement,  the  Operator  received  a fee equal to 3% of total  revenue of each
Hotel,  plus  reimbursement of out of pocket expenses.  Payments to the Operator
from the Lessee were subordinate in all respects to the Lessee's  obligations to
the Partnership and the Subsidiary  Partnership.  Mr. Humphrey,  Chairman of the
Board and President of the Company,  was and is the sole shareholder of both the
Lessee and the  Operator,  respectively.  The  Percentage  Leases  obligate  the
Partnership or the Subsidiary Partnership,  as applicable,  to make available to
the Lessee an amount equal to 4% of room  revenue per  quarter,  on a cumulative
basis,   for  upgrading  and  maintaining  the  Hotels   ("Replacement   Reserve
Deposits").

                                       6

       On  February  9,  1996,  the  Company's  Lessee,   Humphrey   Hospitality
Management, Inc., announced the termination of its operating agreements with the
Operator,   Humphrey  Hotels,  Inc.,  effective  January  1,  1996.  The  Lessee
immediately  began  operating all of the hotels that it leases from the Company.
All  personnel  from the  Operator  were hired at  identical  capacities  by the
Lessee.  The Lessee intends to operate the hotels throughout the lease term. The
Company does not expect there will be any significant  changes in the management
and operating policies and procedures described below.

       The Operator  had managed the Initial  Hotels since 1989 and the Days Inn
Hotel  since 1994.  The  Operator  provided  all  employees  and  performed  all
marketing,  accounting and management  functions necessary to operate the Hotels
pursuant to the  Operating  Agreements.  The Operator had in-house  programs for
accounting and the management and marketing of the Hotels. The Operator utilized
its  sales  management  program  to  coordinate,  direct  and  manage  the sales
activities  of personnel  located at the hotels.  The Lessee now provides  these
services and functions.

       The Lessee's  President,  Randy P. Smith,  has been employed in the hotel
business  since 1978 and has operated a variety of hotels  under many  franchise
brands. He joined the Operator in 1989 as Director of Operations and in 1991, he
was appointed Vice President of  Operations.  He was appointed  President of the
Operator in 1994. He has been appointed to the Comfort Inn Advisory Council, the
International  Operators  Council for Choice Hotels ("IOC")  National  Marketing
Committee, the IOC National Operations and Standards Committee, the IOC National
Awards  Committee,  the Region 4 (Virginia)  Regional  Advisory Board for Choice
Hotels and numerous boards for the IOC. Mr. Smith received an M.B.A. Degree from
Loyola College in 1995.

       The  Lessee's  Vice  President,   Bethany  H.  Hooper,   joined  Humphrey
Associates, Inc. in 1988 after working for the accounting firm of Reznick Fedder
& Silverman as a certified  public  accountant.  In 1991, she was appointed Vice
President of Accounting and Administration of Humphrey Associates,  Inc. and the
Operator.  Ms.  Hooper  continues  to work  for  both the  Lessee  and  Humphrey
Associates,  Inc.. She received a B.S.  degree in Business  Administration  from
Lewis and Clark  College  in 1986 and an M.B.A.  degree in Finance  from  Loyola
College in 1991.

       The  Lessee's  Controller,  Hoa N. Moe,  has been  employed  in the hotel
business since 1978.  From 1978 to 1989, she worked for Ramada Inn's  Washington
Regional  Office and  Coakley &  Williams,  Inc.,  a hotel  management  company,
primarily as a credit  investigator  and Controller . She joined the Operator in
1989 and served as Internal Auditor until she was appointed Controller in 1992.

       Competition.  Each of the  Hotels is  located  in a  developed  area that
includes other hotel properties. The number of competitive hotel properties in a
particular  area could have a material  adverse  effect on occupancy and average
daily room rate  ("ADR") of the Hotels or at hotel  properties  acquired  in the
future.

       The Company may be competing for investment  opportunities  with entities
which have  substantially  greater financial  resources than the Company.  These
entities  generally  may be able to  accept  more  risk  than  the  Company  can
prudently  manage,  including  risks with respect to the  creditworthiness  of a
hotel operator of the geographic  proximity of its  investments.  Competition in
general may reduce the number of suitable  investment  opportunities  offered to
the Company and  increase the  bargaining  power of property  owners  seeking to
sell. Further, the Company believes that competition from entities organized for
purposes  substantially  similar  to the  Company's  objectives  could  increase
significantly.

       Employees.  The Company has an agreement  between it and the Lessee ("the
"Services  Agreement") to provide  accounting and securities  reporting services
for the Company. The initial Services Agreement stated that these services would
be provided to the Company for a fixed fee of $80,000 per year,  notwithstanding
the size of the Company's  portfolio.  On November 6, 1996, the Company  amended
the Services Agreement to provide for such services for an initial annual fee of
$30,000 per year for as long as the Company's  portfolio includes the Hotels and
the New Development.  The amended Services  Agreement  provides that the fee for
such  services  will  increase  $10,000  per  year  (prorated  from  the time of
acquisition)  for  each  additional  hotel  added  to  the  Company's  portfolio
(excluding  the New  Development).  Under  the  terms  of the  amended  Services
Agreement,  the  services  fee cannot  exceed  $100,000 in any year.  The Lessee
employs approximately 225 people in operating the Hotels. The Lessee has advised
the Company that its relationship with its employees is good.

       Business  Risks.  The Hotels are subject to all operating risks common to
the hotel industry.  These risks include,  among other things,  competition from
other hotels;  recent  over-building  in the hotel  industry which has adversely
affected occupancy and room rates; increases in operating costs due to inflation
and other  factors,  which  increases have not in recent years been, and may not
necessarily  in the future  be,  offset by  increased  room  rates;  significant
dependence on business and commercial travelers and tourism; increases in energy
costs and other  expenses  of travel;  and  adverse  effect of general and local
economic  conditions.  These factors could adversely affect the Lessee's ability
to make lease  payments and  therefore  the  Company's  ability to make expected
distributions to shareholders.  Further, decreases in room revenue of the Hotels
will  result  in  decreased  revenue  to  the  Partnership  and  the  Subsidiary
Partnership, as applicable, under the Percentage Leases.

       The Company must rely on the Lessee to generate sufficient cash flow from
the  operations of the Hotels to enable the Lessee to meet the rent  obligations
under the Percentage  Leases.  The obligations of the Lessee are unsecured.  The
Lessee has only nominal assets, primarily working capital.

       The  Company's  investments  are  subject  to  varying  degrees  of  risk
generally  incident to the ownership of real property.  The underlying  value of
the Company's real estate  investments  and the Company's  income and ability to
make  distributions  to its  shareholders  is dependent  upon the ability of the
Lessee to operate  the Hotels in a manner  sufficient  to  maintain  or increase
revenue and to generate  sufficient  income in excess of  operating  expenses to
make rent payments  under the Percentage  Leases.  Income from the Hotels may be
adversely affected by adverse changes in national economic  conditions,  adverse
changes in local market  conditions  due to changes in general or local economic
conditions  and  neighborhood  characteristics,  competition  from  other  hotel
properties,  the  impact of  present  or future  environmental  legislation  and
compliance with environmental  laws, the ongoing need for capital  improvements,
particularly  in older  structures,  changes in real  estate tax rates and other
operating  expenses,  adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies,
civil unrest,  acts of God,  including  earthquakes and other natural  disasters
(which may result in uninsured  losses),  acts of war, adverse changes in zoning
laws,  and other  factors  which are beyond the  control of the  Company and the
Lessee.

       Environmental   Risks.   Under   various   federal,   state,   and  local
environmental laws,  ordinances and regulations,  a current or previous owner or
operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or  remediation
of hazardous or toxic substances, on, under or in such property. Such laws often
impose  liability  whether  or  not  the  owner  or  operator  knew  of,  or was
responsible  for,  the  presence  of such  hazardous  or  toxic  substances.  In
addition,  the  presence of  hazardous  or toxic  substances,  or the failure to
remediate such property  properly,  may adversely  affect the owner's ability to
borrow  using such real  property  as  collateral.  Persons  who arrange for the
disposal or treatment of  hazardous or toxic  substances  may also be liable for
the costs of  removal or  remediation  of such  substances  at the  disposal  or
treatment  facility,  whether  or not  such  facility  is or ever  was  owned or
operated by such person.  Certain  environmental  laws and common law principles
could be used to impose liability for release of  asbestos-containing  materials
("ACMs")  into the air and  third  parties  may seek  recovery  from  owners  or
operators of real  properties for personal  injury  associated  with exposure to
released ACMs. In connection with the ownership of the Hotels, the Company,  the
Partnership or the Subsidiary Partnership may be potentially liable for any such
costs.

       Phase I environmental site assessments were obtained on all of the Hotels
prior  to  their  acquisition  by the  Company.  A  Phase I  environmental  site
assessment  was  conducted  in  February  1995,  on the  land on  which  the New
Development  is  built.  A  Phase  1  environmental  screening  and  a  Phase  1
environmental  assessment  were  conducted in February  1997,  on the  Company's
acquisitions  of the  hotels  located  in  Culpeper,  Virginia  and New  Castle,
Pennsylvania,  respectively. The Phase I environmental assessments were intended
to identify  potential  environmental  contamination for which the Hotels may be
responsible.  The Phase I environmental  assessments included historical reviews
of the Hotels, reviews of certain public records,  preliminary investigations of
the sites and  surrounding  properties,  screening for the presence of hazardous
substances,  toxic substances and underground storage tanks, and the preparation
and issuance of a written report. The Phase I environmental  assessments did not
include invasive procedures, such as soil sampling or ground water analysis.

       The  Phase  I  site  assessments  have  not  revealed  any  environmental
liability that the Company  believes would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's  business,  assets,  results of operations  or  liquidity,  nor is the
Company aware of any such liability. Nevertheless, it is possible that the Phase
I site  assessments  do not reveal  environmental  liabilities or that there are
material environmental liabilities of which the Company is unaware. Moreover, no
assurances can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not
impose any material environmental  liability,  or (ii) the current environmental
condition of the Hotels and the Hotels will not be affected by the  condition of
other  properties in the vicinity of the Hotels

                                       8


<PAGE>

(such as the presence of leaking  underground storage tanks) or by third parties
unrelated to the Company, the Partnership,  the Subsidiary  Partnership,  or the
Lessee.

       The Company  believes  that the Hotels are in  compliance in all material
respects with all federal,  state and local ordinances and regulations regarding
hazardous  or toxic  substances  or other  environmental  matters.  Neither  the
Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, the Selling Partnerships,  the LLC
or the LLC's predecessor in interest with regard to the Days Inn Hotel or any of
the former owners of the hotels have been notified by any governmental authority
of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic
substances or other environmental matters in connection with any of the Hotels.

       No assurance  can be given that the Phase I site  assessments  identified
all significant environmental problems or that no additional liabilities exist.

       Tax Status.  The Company has made an election to be taxed as a REIT under
Section 856 through 860 of the Internal  Revenue Code ("Code"),  commencing with
its taxable year ending December 31, 1994. As long as the Company  qualifies for
taxation as a REIT,  it generally  will not be subject to Federal  income tax to
the  extent  it  distributes  at least  95% of its REIT  taxable  income  to its
shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the
Company  will be  subject  to  Federal  income  tax  (including  any  applicable
alternative  minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular  corporate tax rates.
Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject
to  certain  state and local  taxes on its income  and  property  and to Federal
income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

         Occupancy  and  REVPAR  for the Best  Western  -  Wytheville,  Virginia
declined from 1993 to 1994. Management of the Company believes that such decline
in  occupancy  and  REVPAR  is a result of the loss of a  year-to-year  contract
pursuant  to which a trucking  firm  reserved  at least ten rooms daily at rates
significantly  below quoted market rates.  In 1993,  the contract was awarded to
another hotel that had bid a lower room rate. Management of the Company believes
that the  effects

                                       13

<PAGE>

of  the  loss  of  such  contract  have been  partially  offset by increases  in
ADR,  as shown in the table  above.  There  can be no  assurances, however, that
the increase in ADR can  return  REVPAR  at this Initial Hotel to the historical
levels achieved prior to the termination of  the contract.  Occupancy and REVPAR
for the Comfort Inns at Dublin, Virginia and Elizabethton,   Tennessee  declined
from  1995  to  1996.   Management believes that such decline is attributable to
a slowdown of  construction  related  business that the Hotels received in 1995.
At the Company  hotel located in Princeton,  West Virginia two  new  hotels were
opened in the  proximity of the Comfort  Inn  during  the  summer  of 1996.  The
Company  anticipates  a  significant  impact on occupancy and average daily rate
at the hotel for the foreseeable future.

The Percentage Leases

       Each Hotel is separately  leased by the Partnership to the Lessee under a
Percentage Lease. The Lessee is wholly owned by Mr. Humphrey. Other than working
capital  sufficient to operate the Hotels, the Lessee has only nominal assets in
addition to its right and benefits under the Percentage Leases.  Each Percentage
Lease  contains the provisions  described  below,  and the Company  intends that
future  leases  with  respect to its hotel  property  investments  will  contain
substantially similar provisions, although the Company's Board of Directors, may
in its discretion,  alter any of these provisions with respect to any particular
lease,  depending  on the purchase  price paid,  economic  conditions  and other
factors deemed relevant at the time.

       Percentage Lease Terms.  Each Percentage Lease has a non-cancelable  term
of ten years,  which may be renewed for an additional  term of five years at the
Lessee's option,  subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of defaults
thereunder and certain other events described therein.

       Amounts  Payable  under the  Percentage  Leases.  During the term of each
Percentage  Lease,  the Lessee  will be  obligated  to pay (i) the Base Rent and
Percentage  Rents,  and (ii)  interest  accrued on any late payments or charges.
Base Rent accrues and is required to be paid monthly.  The  Percentage  Rent for
each Hotel is comprised of (i) a set  percentage  of quarterly  and  semi-annual
room revenue, which is payable quarterly and semi-annually, respectively, (ii) a
set  percentage  of annual room revenue in excess of a specified  Threshold  for
each  Percentage  Lease,  which is  payable  annually,  and (iii) 8% of  monthly
revenue  other than room  revenue  (including,  but not  limited  to,  telephone
charges,  movie rental fees and, in the case of the Comfort  Inn-Beacon  Marina,
Solomons,  Maryland,  rental  payments  under  the  third  party  leases  of its
restaurant and yacht yard as well as marina revenue),  which is payable monthly.
Annual  Percentage  Rent does not apply to  amounts  under  the  Threshold.  The
portion of  Percentage  Rent that is based on annual room revenue is designed to
allow the Company to participate in any future increases in room revenue.

       The  following  table  sets  forth (i) the  annual  Base  Rent,  (ii) the
Percentage  Rent  formulas  and  (iii)  the rent  that  was paid for each  Hotel
pursuant to the terms of the Percentage Leases based on historical  revenues for
the year ended December 31, 1996.

                                                             ====

       On March 10, 1997, the Company announced a quarterly dividend of $.19 per
share for each  shareholder  of record of March 24, 1997.  The dividend  will be
paid May 5, 1997.

       None of such  distribution  represented  a return of  capital  based upon
earnings per share determined in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

       The Company believes that the assumptions underlying its estimate of cash
flow that will be available for distributions constituted a reasonable basis for
setting  its initial  distribution,  and the  Company  expects to  maintain  its
distribution  rate  for 1997  unless  actual  results  of  operations,  economic
conditions or other factors differ from the  assumptions  used in its estimates.
The actual cash flow that the Company  will realize will be affected by a number
of  factors   including  the  revenue   received  from  Percentage   Leases  and
unanticipated capital expenditures. No assurance can be given that the Company's
estimate will prove accurate.

                                       17

       Future distributions paid by the Company will be at the discretion of the
Board of Directors of the Company and will depend on the actual cash flow of the
Company, its financial condition, capital requirements,  the annual distribution
requirements  under the REIT,  provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code and such
other factors as the Directors of the Company deem relevant.

           The following  tables set forth (i) selected revenue and expenses and

         IPO and the  acquisition  and  operation  of the Initial  Hotels by the
         Company and the Lessee, respectively,  had occurred and/or commenced on
         January 1, 1994. The pro forma  information for the year ended December
         31, 1995 is presented as if the consummation of the Secondary  Offering
         and the  acquisition  and  operation of the Days Inn Hotel had occurred
         and/or commenced on January 1, 1995. The pro forma  information for the
         year ended December 31, 1994 is not presented as if the consummation of
         the  Secondary  Offering  and the  operation  of the Days Inn Hotel had
         occurred and/or commenced on January 1, 1994.

(2)      Represents Rent paid by the Lessee to the Partnership or the Subsidiary
         Partnership  pursuant to the  Percentage  Leases,  which  payments  are
         calculated by applying the rent provisions in the Percentage  Leases to
         the historical room revenue of the Hotels for the periods indicated.

(3)      Represents  interest  computed  on  approximately  $8.4 million of debt
         remaining after the use of proceeds  from  the  Secondary  Offering  to
         retire existing debt.

(4)      Represents  estimated legal, audit, office,  franchise taxes,  salaries
         and other expenses to be paid by the Company and the Lessee,  estimated
         at $42,000 per quarter.

(5)      Calculated as 28.54% and 21.09% of  estimated  income  before  minority
         interest of the Limited Partners for 1994 and 1995, respectively.

(6)      Represents consolidated historical balance sheet data for the Company.

(7)      Management  considers  Funds from  Operations  to be a market  accepted
         measure  of an  equity  REIT's  cash  flow  which  management  believes
         reflects on the value of real estate companies such as the Company,  in
         connection   with  the   evaluation  of  other  measures  of  operating
         performances.  All REIT's do not calculate Funds From Operations in the
         same  manner,  therefore,  the  Company's  calculation  of  Funds  From
         Operations  may  not be the  same  as the  calculation  of  Funds  From
         Operations for similar REITs. In accordance with the resolution adopted
         by the Board of Governors of the  National  Association  of Real Estate
         Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT),  Funds from Operations represents net
         income  (computed in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
         principles),  excluding  gains (or losses) from debt  restructuring  or
         sales of  property,  plus  depreciation  and  amortization,  and  after
         adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. For the
         periods presented,  depreciation and amortization and minority interest
         were the only  non-cash  adjustments.  Therefore,  pro forma Funds from
         Operations represents cash flow from operating  activities.  Funds from
         Operations  should not be considered as an alternative to net income or
         other measurements under generally accepted accounting principles as an
         indicator of  operating  performance  or to cash flows from  operating,
         investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Funds from
         Operations does not reflect working capital changes,  cash expenditures
         for capital  improvements  or debt  service  with  respect to the hotel
         properties.

         The computation of historical and pro-forma Funds from Operations is as
         follows:

(11)     The  decrease  in pro  forma  operating  expenses  as  compared  to the
         historical  amounts for the  Combined  Selling  Partnerships  - Initial
         Hotels is attributable  to real estate and personal  property taxes and
         property  insurance  being paid by the Partnership on a pro forma basis
         as well as the  elimination  of certain  non-recurring  management  and
         accounting fees, repairs, and legal expenses. The decrease in pro forma
         other income as compared to  historical  and pro forma  amounts for the
         Combined  Selling  Partnerships - Initial Hotels is attributable to the
         elimination  of certain  non-recurring  gains on disposition of assets,
         debt forgiveness income and other non-recurring income.

         period  January 1, 1994 through  November 28, 1994.  The Proforma  1994
         operating data represents the historical  operating data of the Initial
         Hotels for the period January 1, 1994 through November 28, 1994 and the
         Lessee for the period November 29, 1994 through December 31, 1994.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

GENERAL

         The Company's  principal  source of revenue is derived from payments by
the Lessee under the Percentage Leases. The principal determinants of Percentage
Rent are the Hotels' room revenue,  and to a lesser extent,  other revenue.  The
Lessee's ability to make payments to the Partnership under the Percentage Leases
is dependent on the operations of the Hotels.

Results of Operations

Comparison of year ended December 31, 1996 to year ended December 31, 1995

The Company

         The Company's total revenues for the twelve month period ended December
31,  1996,  substantially  consisted  of  Percentage  Lease  revenue  recognized
pursuant to the  Percentage  Leases.  The  Company's  revenue was  approximately
$4,005,000,  up 6.2% as compared to revenue of  $3,771,000  for the period ended
December  31,  1995.  Net income for the  period was  approximately  $1,678,000,
improving  34.2% as compared to net income of  $1,250,000  for the period  ended
December 31, 1995.  The  improvement in revenue is attributed to the addition of
the Days Inn  Hotel,  which  substantially  strengthened  the  Company's  market
position for the hotels located in Farmville,  Virginia.  The improvement in net
income is attributed to the  additional  revenue from the Days Inn Hotel and the
refinancing and/or retirement of Company debt on the hotels located in Solomons,
Maryland, Dahlgren, Virginia, Elizabethton, Tennessee, Princeton, West Virginia,
and  Farmville,  Virginia  in  connection  with the  acquisition  of the  Credit
Facility.

The Lessee

         The  Lessee's  net income for the period  ended  December  31, 1996 was
approsimately   $31,000.   The  Lessee's  revenues  increased  by  approximately
$524,000,  or 6.5%, to $8,579,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1996,
as compared to $8,055,000 of revenue for the same period of 1995.  Occupancy for
the Hotels  decreased  from 71.6% for the year ended  1995,  to 70% for the year
ended 1996. The decrease in occupancy is attributed to business  activity at the
Hotels  located in Dublin,  Virginia and  Elizabethton,  Tennessee and to record
snowfall in the first quarter of 1996. In 1995, the Company's  hotels in Dublin,
Virginia and  Elizabethton,  Tennessee  received business from nearby industrial
construction  projects.  The construction projects were substantially  completed
during 1995.  The Days Inn Hotel has an annual  occupancy  below the average for
the Company;  accordingly, its inclusion for 1996's occupancy lowers the average
occupancy for all


                                       23

<PAGE>


the hotels.  The average daily rate at the Hotels increased to  $50.27  for  the
year ended  December 31, 1996, or 3.6%,  as  compared  to $48.53  for  the  same
period of 1995. Revenue per  available  room (REVPAR)  increased  to $35.17  for
1996,  from  $34.74  for  the  same period in 1995.  Lessee  operating  expenses
increased  by  approximately  $424,000,  or 10.2%,  for the twelve  months ended
December  31, 1996 as compared to  operating  expenses  for the same period last
year.  Operating  expenses  increased due to the consolidation of the Lessee and
the Operator,  and the addition of management  personnel.  Additional management
personnel were hired to accommodate anticipated additional hotel acquisitions.

Comparison of year ended  December 31, 1995 to pro forma year ended December 31,
1994

The Company

         The Company's total revenues for the twelve month period ended December
31,  1995,  substantially  consisted  of  Percentage  Lease  revenue  recognized
pursuant to the  Percentage  Leases.  The  Company's  revenue was  approximately
$3,771,000,  up 5.9% as  compared  to pro forma  revenue of  $3,560,000  for the
period  ended  December 31,  1994.  Net income for the period was  approximately
$1,250,000,  improving  7.9% as compared to net income of $1,158,000 for the pro
forma period ended  December 31, 1994. On a pro forma basis for the period ended
December 31, 1995,  revenue was  $3,922,000,  up 10.2% as compared to $3,560,000
for the same pro forma period of 1994. Net income for the pro forma period ended
December 31, 1995, was $1,630,000,  up 40.7%,  from $1,158,000 for the pro forma
period ended December 31, 1994. The  improvement in revenue is attributed to the
addition of the Days Inn Hotel, which  substantially  strengthened the Company's
market position for the hotels located in Farmville,  Virginia.  The improvement
in net income is  attributed to the  additional  revenue from the Days Inn Hotel
and the refinancing  and/or  retirement of Company debt on the hotels located in
Solomons, Maryland, Dahlgren, Virginia, Elizabethton, Tennessee, Princeton, West
Virginia, Farmville, Virginia - Comfort Inn, and Dublin, Virginia.

The Lessee

         The  Lessee's  net income for the period  ended  December  31, 1995 was
$139,000.  On a pro forma basis the Lessee's revenues increased by approximately
$700,000,  or 9.1%, to $8,386,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995,
as compared to $7,686,000 of pro forma room revenue for the same period of 1994.
Occupancy for the hotels  decreased from 74.3% for the year ended 1994, to 71.6%
for the year ended 1995.  The decrease in occupancy  is  attributed  to business
activity at the Hotels located in Solomons,  Maryland, and the Farmville Comfort
Inn. In 1994,  Solomons received  business from the nearby nuclear plant,  which
typically performs specialized maintenance work during the first quarter of each
year. In 1995 this work was  curtailed  dramatically.  At the Farmville  Comfort
Inn,  the Hotel  realized  increased  commercial  activity  related  to  highway
construction on U.S. Route 460 near the Hotel that occurred in the third quarter
in 1994, the construction was substantially  completed during the second quarter
of 1995.  The Farmville Days Inn has an annual  occupancy  below the average for
the Company;  accordingly, its inclusion for 1995's occupancy lowers the average
occupancy for the entire group of Company hotels.  The average daily rate at the
Hotels  increased to $48.53 for the year ended  December 31, 1995,  or 4.2%,  as
compared  to $46.68 for the same  period of 1994.  Revenue  per  available  room
(REVPAR)  increased to $34.74 for 1995, from $34.68 for the same period in 1994.
Lessee pro forma operating expenses increased by approximately $93,000, or 2.2%,
for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to pro forma operating
expenses for the same period last year.

- --------------

(1)    The Company believes that operating income before interest,  depreciation
       and amortization  provides a good indicator of the financial  performance
       of the Initial  Hotels and is a  significant  factor in  determining  the
       Lessee's  ability  to make  lease  payments  to the  Partnership  and the
       Subsidiary  Partnership.  Industry analysts  generally consider operating
       income  before   interest,   depreciation   and  amortization  to  be  an
       appropriate  measure  of the  performance  of the  Initial  Hotels.  Such
       indicator,  however,  should not be considered as an  alternative  to net
       income as an indication of the Lessee's  performance or to cash flow as a
       measure of liquidity.

(2)    The  Historical  1994  operating  data of the  Initial  Hotels is for the
       period  January 1, 1994  through  November 28,  1994.  The Proforma  1994
       operating data  represents  the historical  operating data of the Initial
       Hotels for the period  January 1, 1994 through  November 28, 1994 and the
       Lessee for the period November 29, 1994 through December 31, 1994.

Comparison of year ended  December 31, 1994 to pro-forma year ended December 31,
1993

         Room revenue increased approximately $415,000, or 6.3% to approximately
$7.04 million in 1994 from approximately  $6.63 million in 1993. The increase is
attributed to the  improvement in ADR, which increased by 6.8% to $46.68 in 1994
from $43.79 in 1993. Occupancy decreased by .4% to 74.3% for 1994 as compared to
74.7% for 1993.  Revenue per available room (REVPAR) increased by 6.0% to $34.68
for 1994 from $32.71 for 1993.

         Hotel operating expenses  increased by approximately  $224,000 or 4.9%,
to approximately  $4.83 million from  approximately  $4.60 million,  largely the
result  of  increased  marketing  expenses  that are  directly  attributable  to
franchisor  mandated  improvements in continental  breakfast.  In prior years of
operation, continental breakfast was voluntary and was not offered at all of the
Initial  Hotels.  The franchise  mandated  continental  breakfast  required more
extensive  and costly food choices for the Initial  Hotels than were  previously
provided  voluntarily.  Net income  improved by 58.2%,  to  approximately  $1.08
million from approximately $680,000. The improvement in net income is attributed
to lower interest payments due to the curtailment of debt.

Comparison of year ended December 31, 1993 to year ended December 31, 1992

       Room revenue increased  approximately  $332,000, or 5.2% to approximately
$6.63 million in 1993 from approximately $6.30 million in 1992. The increase was
primarily the result of an increase in ADR and a greater  increase in occupancy.
ADR  increased  1.3% to  $43.79  in 1993  from  $43.21  in 1992,  and  occupancy
increased 3.0% to 74.7% from 71.7%. REVPAR increased by 5.6% in 1993 from $30.99
to $32.71.

                                       25

<PAGE>

         Hotel operating expenses  increased by approximately  $194,000 or 4.4%,
to approximately $4.60 million from approximately $4.41 million,  principally as
the result of increased  occupancy but remained at the same  percentage of total
revenue,  63%.  Net income,  improved by 27.3% to  approximately  $680,000  from
approximately  $534,000.  The  improvement  in net income is attributed to lower
interest payments due to the curtailment of debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company -

       The  Company's  principal  source of cash to meet its cash  requirements,
including distributions to shareholders,  is its share of the Partnership's cash
flow. The  Partnership's  principal source of revenue is Rent payments under the
Percentage  Leases.  The Lessee's  obligations  under the Percentage  Leases are
unsecured.

       The Company's Funds from Operations (net income plus minority  interests,
depreciation  and  amortization)  for the year ended  December  31,  1996,  were
approximately  $2,849,000,  or $.94 per common share. Management considers Funds
from  Operations to be a market  accepted  measure of an equity REIT's cash flow
which management believes reflects on the value of real estate companies such as
the Company in connection  with the  evaluation  of other  measures of operating
performance. In accordance with the resolution adopted by the Board of Governors
of the National  Association of Real Estate Investment  Trusts,  Inc.  (NAREIT),
Funds  from  Operations  represents  net income  (computed  in  accordance  with
generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring  or sales of property,  plus  depreciation and  amortization,  and
after adjustments for  unconsolidated  partnerships and joint ventures.  For the
period  presented,  depreciation and amortization and minority interest were the
only non-cash adjustments. Funds from Operations should not be considered as and
alternative  to net  income  or  other  measurements  under  generally  accepted
accounting  principles as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows
form  operating,  investing or financing  activities  as a measure of liquidity.
Funds  from  Operations  does  not  reflect   working  capital   changes,   cash
expenditures for capital  improvements or debt service with respect to the hotel
properties.

       As of December 31, 1996 the  remaining  cash balance from the Third Stock
Offering was approximately $7.013 million. The proceeds were applied as follows:

       Gross proceeds                                              $9,487,500

                                                                   ==========

The balance of  $7,012,987  was invested in a variety of 7 day  certificates  of
deposit,  and 31 day and 59 day commercial paper investments with interest rates
ranging  from  5.15% to 5.37%.  The  remaining  balance  will be used for future
acquisitions.

Debt

       The Company's indebtedness consists of only long term debt. The Company's
long  term debt had an  outstanding  principal  balance  of  approximately  $8.2
million and is secured by the Hotels as follows:

           Approximately  $1.7 million from the Credit Facility which is secured
           by and  cross-collateralized  by the hotels  located in Dahlgren  and
           Farmville, VA, Elizabethton, TN, Princeton, WV, Solomons, MD, and the
           New  Development.  The  interest  rate is variable at 25 basis points
           above prime  rate,  at a current  rate of 8.5% per annum.  The Credit
           Facility matures in April 1999.

                                       26

<PAGE>


           Approximately  $4.1  million,  secured  by a first  deed of trust and
           cross-collateralized  by the hotels located in  Wytheville,  Virginia
           and  Morgantown,  West  Virginia.  Interest  is  accrued  at the rate
           necessary  to  remarket  bonds  at a  price  equal  to  100%  of  the
           outstanding principal balance. The rate is adjusted weekly and is not
           to  exceed  15%  and  11.3636%   for   Wytheville   and   Morgantown,
           respectively.  At December 31, 1996,  the interest  rate was 4.0% for
           both  Morgantown and Wytheville.  In addition,  letter of credit fees
           and  financing  fees increase the  effective  rate on the bonds.  The
           letters  of  credit  expire  in  November  1999  and  April  2000 for
           Wytheville and Morgantown, respectively.

           Approximately  $2.4 million,  secured by a first deed of trust on the
           hotel located in Dublin,  Virginia.  The outstanding  principal bears
           interest at a fixed  annual rate of 8%. The debt  matures in November
           2005. The debt is non-recourse.

       The approximate  aggregate annual principal payments and payments to bond
sinking funds for the three years following December 31, 1996 are as follows:

                         1997                          $180,000
                         1998                          $195,000
                         1999                        $1,911,000

Inflation

       Operators  of hotels in general  possess the ability to adjust room rates
quickly. However, competitive pressures have limited and may in the future limit
the Lessee's ability to raise room rates in the face of inflation. Industry-wide
ADR generally has failed to keep pace with inflation since 1987.

Seasonality

       The  Hotels'  operations  historically  have  been  seasonal  in  nature,
reflecting  higher  occupancy  rates during the second and third  quarter.  This
seasonality  can  be  expected  to  cause   fluctuations  in  the  Partnership's
quarterly,  semi-annual  and annual lease revenue to the extent that it receives
Percentage Rent.

Other Information

       On January 22, 1997,  the Company's New  Development,  the Comfort Suites
hotel located in Dover,  Delaware,  opened for business.  The hotel is leased by

monthly installments and prorated for any partial month. The hotel has 64 units,
each with a  refrigerator  and  microwave.  Amenities  include an outdoor  pool,

       On February 26, 1997,  the Company  closed on the purchase of the Comfort
Inn hotel  located in  Culpeper,  Virginia.  The Company  assumed  approximately
$1,220,000 in taxable and tax exempt bond  financing and utilized  approximately
$680,000 in cash for the purchase. The hotel is leased by the Lessee pursuant to
a Percentage  Lease which provides for rent based, in part, on the room revenues
from the hotel. The hotel has 49 rooms and amenities include an outdoor pool and
continental breakfast.

       On March 17, 1997,  the Company closed on the purchase of the Comfort Inn
hotel located in New Castle,  Pennsylvania.  The Company paid $3 million in cash
for the site. The hotel is leased by the Lessee  pursuant to a Percentage  Lease
which provides for rent based, in part, on the room revenues from the hotel. The
hotel has 79 rooms,  amenities  include a meeting  room and a fitness  room with
sauna and locker facilities.

Director Meetings

         The  business  of the Company is under the  general  management  of its
Board  of  Directors  as  provided  by the  Company's  Bylaws  and  the  laws of
Commonwealth of Virginia,  the Company's state of  incorporation.  The Company's

independent  directors.  There are presently  seven  directors,  including  four
independent directors. The Board of Directors held five meetings in 1996.

         The Company has an Acquisition  Committee and an Audit Committee of its
Board of Directors. The Company may, from time to time, form other committees as
circumstances  warrant.  Such  committees have authority and  responsibility  as
delegated by the Board of Directors.

Audit Committee

         The Audit Committee consists of three Independent Directors,  Ms. Allen
and Messrs.  Zwerdling and Mayer. The Audit Committee will make  recommendations
concerning  the engagement of independent  public  accountants,  review with the
independent  public  accountants the plans and results of the audit  engagement,
approve  professional  services provided by the independent public  accountants,
review the  independence of the  independent  public  accountants,  consider the
range of audit and  non-audit  fees and review  the  adequacy  of the  Company's
internal  accounting  controls.  The  Audit  Committee,  with  advice  from  the
Company's   attorneys  and  independent  public   accountants,   will  establish
procedures to monitor  compliance  with the REIT  provisions of the Code and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and such other laws and regulations
applicable to the Company. The Audit Committee met twice in 1996.

for  proposed  hotel  acquisitions  and  make  recommendations  to the  Board of
Directors with respect to proposed  acquisitions.  The Acquisition Committee met
twice in 1996.

Compensation of Trustees

         On September  17, 1996,  the Board of  Directors  unanimously  voted to
reduce the annual fees paid to them by the Company for serving on the Board from
$20,000  per year to $10,000  per year  effective  for the last two  quarters of

of the common shares are required  under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
to file reports of ownership with the SEC.  Copies of these reports must also be
furnished to the Company.

         Based solely on review of the copies of such  reports  furnished to the

approximately 95,484 shares of common stock and (ii) assumption of approximately
$1.23  million  of  debt  secured  by the  Days  Inn  Hotel,  which  was  repaid
immediately with proceeds of the Second Stock Offering.

         The Humphrey Affiliates own 623,350 Units with a value of approximately
$5.14  million  based on the  offering  price of the  stock in the  Third  Stock
Offering.  Upon  exercise of the  Redemption  Rights,  which are  currently  all
exercisable,  all of such Units are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for shares
of stock or for an equivalent  cash value at the sole election of the Company or
if the issuance of shares of stock would  result in any person  owning more than
9.9% of the outstanding shares of stock.

Guarantees by Mr. Humphrey

         At December 31, 1996, Mr.  Humphrey  guaranteed the payment of interest
and  principal  on  approximately  $5.8  million  of the  Company's  outstanding
long-term debt. The debt is secured by the hotels located at Solomons, Maryland;
Dahlgren, Virginia; Farmville,  Virginia;  Elizabethton,  Tennessee;  Princeton,
West Virginia; Wytheville, Virginia; and Morgantown, West Virginia.

Percentage Leases

         During 1996, the  Partnership and the Lessee were parties to Percentage
Leases  with  respect  to each hotel  property  owned by the  Partnership.  Each
Percentage  Lease has a non-cancelable  term of ten years,  which may be renewed
for an additional term of five years at the Lessee's option,  subject to earlier
termination upon the occurrence of defaults  thereunder and certain other events
described therein. Pursuant to the terms of the percentage leases, the Lessee is
required to pay Base Rent and  Percentage  Rent on the revenue of the hotels and
certain  other  additional  charges  and is  entitled  to all  profits  from the
operations  of the  hotels  after  the  payment  of rent,  operating  and  other
expenses.  Payments of rent under the Percentage  Leases  constituted all of the
Partnership's and the Company's revenue.  For the period January 1, 1996 through
December 31, 1996, the Lessee  incurred an aggregate of $3,957,401 in rent under
the percentage leases.

Franchise Licenses

         The Lessee, which is owned by Mr. Humphrey,  holds all of the franchise
licenses for the hotels  currently  owned by the  Partnership and is expected to
hold  all  of  the  franchise  licenses  for  any  subsequently  acquired  hotel
properties.  During 1996, the Lessee paid franchise fees in the aggregate amount
of approximately $420,809.

Non-Competition Agreement and Option Agreement

       Pursuant to the  Non-Competition  Agreement among Mr. Humphrey,  Humphrey
Associates,  Inc., and the Company, while Mr. Humphrey is an officer or director
of the Company or owns any ownership interest in the Company, and for five years
thereafter,  neither  Mr.  Humphrey  nor any  affiliate  of Mr.  Humphrey,  will
acquire, develop, own, operate, manage or have any interest in any hotel that is
within 20 miles of a hotel in which the Company or the Partnership has invested.
The

Board  of  Directors,  including a  majority  of the Independent Directors, have
agreed to waive the provisions of the Non-Competition Agreement as they apply to
Humphrey  Development's  right  to  purchase  the New  Development.  The 20 mile
prohibition  may be  waived  by the  Company's  independent  directors  if  they
determine that such development,  ownership,  management,  or operation will not
have a material adverse affect on the operations of one or more of the hotels in
which the  Company has  invested.  In  addition,  Mr.  Humphrey  has agreed that
neither he nor any of his affiliates  will receive any brokerage  commissions or
other fees with respect to hotels purchased by the Company.

       Pursuant to the Option Agreement among Mr. Humphrey, Humphrey Associates,
Inc.  and the  Company,  the  Company  will have an option to acquire any hotels
acquired or  developed  by Mr.  Humphrey or any of his  affiliates.  At any time
during 12 months  after a hotel is acquired  by, or after the opening of a hotel
developed by Mr. Humphrey or any of his affiliates, the Company may purchase the
applicable  hotel under the option for a price equal to the fair market value of
the hotel, as determined by independent  third-party appraisal,  but in no event
less than the sum of the following: (i) acquisition or development costs paid to
unaffiliated third parties, (ii) capitalized interest expense,  (iii) the amount
of equity investment in the hotel,  including the cash investment or advances of
Mr. Humphrey and his  affiliates,  if any (to the extent not covered in sections
(i) and  (ii)),  and (iv) a  cumulative,  non-compounded  return  on the  equity
investment not to exceed the prime rate, as reported by the Wall Street Journal,
Eastern  Edition,  plus five  percent  (less any net cash flow  received  by Mr.
Humphrey or any of his affiliates with respect to such equity  investment).  The
Company  currently  anticipates  that any such acquired or developed  hotel will
have achieved  stabilized  operating  revenue  before the Company would consider
purchasing  such  hotel  from  Mr.  Humphrey  or  any  of  his  affiliates.  All
transactions  to  acquire  additional  properties  and any and all  transactions
between the Company,  the  Partnership  or the  Subsidiary  Partnership  and Mr.
Humphrey or his  affiliates  must be  approved  by a majority  of the  Company's
directors,  including a majority of its independent directors.  In addition, the
Option  Agreement  provides that in the event the Company  acquires a hotel from
Mr. Humphrey or any of his affiliates in connection with the Company's  issuance
of additional  securities,  Mr.  Humphrey or any of his  affiliates  may receive
consideration  for such property in additional  Units  provided that his and his
affiliates'  interests in the  Partnership  shall not exceed 28.54% of the total
limited partnership interest in the Partnership.

Other

         Mr. Mills, who is the Vice President,  Treasurer, and a director of the
Company,  is Senior  Vice  President  and  Chairman  of  Anderson  &  Strudwick,
Incorporated.  Mr. Whittemore,  who is a director of the Company, is Senior Vice
President of the  underwriter.  Anderson & Strudwick was the  underwriter of the
Company's previous three  underwritings,  received  approximately  $1,755,000 in
investment banking fees in connection with the three  underwritings.  Anderson &
Strudwick  also served as underwriter  for $2,460,000 in principal  amount fixed
rate  first  Mortgage  refunding  revenue  bonds,  series  1995  issued  by  the
Industrial  Development  Authority  of  Pulaski  County  which are served by the
Comfort  Inn - Dublin;  VA, and  receives  an ongoing  fee equal to 0.25% of the
outstanding principal of those bonds.

         The Company  executed an amended  development  services  agreement (the
"Development  Agreement") with Humphrey Development,  pursuant to which Humphrey
Development provides construction supervision and will pay any development costs
in excess of $2,795,910 in exchange for a right to purchase the New  Development
from the Company on the sixth  anniversary of its commencement of operations for
$2,795,910.

       The Company has an agreement  with the Lessee to provide  accounting  and
securities  reporting  services for the Company.  The initial Services Agreement
provided that these services would be provided to the Company for a fixed fee of
$80,000  per  year,  notwithstanding  the size of the  Company's  portfolio.  On
November 6, 1996, the Company amended the Services Agreement to provide for such
services  for an  initial  annual  fee of  $30,000  per  year for as long as the
Company's  portfolio  includes the Hotels and the New  Development.  The amended
Services Agreement provides that the fee for such services will increase $10,000
per year (prorated from the time of acquisition) for each additional hotel added
to the Company's portfolio  (excluding the New Development).  Under the terms of
the amended Services  Agreement,  the services fee cannot exceed $100,000 in any
year.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Humphrey Hospitality Trust, Inc.

         We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of
Humphrey  Hospitality  Trust,  Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and
1996, and the related consolidated  statements of income,  shareholders' equity,
and cash  flows for the period  from  August  23,  1994 (date of  incorporation)
through  December 31, 1994 and the years ended  December 31, 1995 and 1996.  Our
audits also  included  the  financial  statement  schedule  included on pages 57
through 58. These consolidated  financial statements and the financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the financial  statements  and the schedule 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 Humphrey
Hospitality  Trust,  Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and
the results of their  operations and their cash flows for the period from August
23, 1994 (date of  incorporation)  through December 31, 1994 and the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1996, 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  consolidated
financial  statements  taken  as a  whole,  presents  fairly,  in  all  material
respects, the information required to be included therein.

Note 1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Humphrey  Hospitality  Trust,  Inc. (the Company) was  incorporated  on
August 23, 1994, to acquire equity interests in eight existing hotel properties.
The Company is a self-administered, Virginia corporation and qualifies as a real
estate  investment  trust  (REIT) for Federal  income tax  purposes.  During the
fourth quarter of 1994, the Company  completed an initial public  offering (IPO)
of 1,321,700 shares of $.01 par value common stock. The offering price per share
was $6 resulting in gross proceeds of $7,930,200.  Net of underwriters  discount
and offering expenses, the Company received net proceeds of $6,949,899.

         Upon completion of the IPO, the Company  contributed  substantially all
of the net proceeds of the offering to Humphrey  Hospitality Limited Partnership
(the Partnership) in exchange for a 71.46% general  partnership  interest in the
Partnership.  The  Partnership  used the proceeds from the Company to acquire an
equity  interest in seven  existing hotel  properties and a general  partnership
interest in Solomons Beacon Inn Limited Partnership (the Subsidiary Partnership)
(collectively  the Initial  Hotels) and to retire  certain  indebtedness  of the
Initial Hotels. The Partnership  acquired the Initial Hotels in exchange for (i)
approximately $4.8 million in cash, (ii) units of limited  partnership  interest
in the Partnership which are redeemable,  subject to certain limitations, for an
aggregate of 527,866 common shares,  with a value of approximately $3.2 million,
and (iii) the assumption of approximately  $15.5 million of indebtedness.  James
I.  Humphrey,  Jr. and  Humphrey  Associates,  Inc.  (the  Humphrey  Affiliates)
received limited partnership  interests in the Partnership  aggregating a 28.54%
equity interest in the Partnership (collectively the Formation Transaction). The
Partnership  owns a 99% general  partnership  interest and the Company owns a 1%
limited partnership  interest in the Subsidiary  Partnership.  The Company began
operations on November 29, 1994.

         On July  21,  1995,  the  Company  completed  a  public  offering  (the
"Secondary  Offering") of 1,010,000  shares of common stock.  The gross proceeds
were  $7,827,500  based on the offering  price of $7.75 per share (the  Offering
Price).  Net of  underwriters'  discount  and  offering  expenses,  the  Company
received proceeds of approximately $6,957,000.  The Company used the proceeds to
repay certain debt and through the  Partnership,  acquired the Days Inn Hotel in
Farmville, Virginia (the Acquisition Hotel and together with the Initial Hotels,
the Hotels),  which has 60 rooms and was built in 1989. The Partnership acquired
the  Acquisition  Hotel from  Farmville  Lodging  Associates,  LLC (the LLC),  a
Maryland limited liability company in which James I. Humphrey,  Jr., Chairman of
the Board of Directors and President of the Company, owns a 98% equity interest.
The Partnership  has acquired the  Acquisition  Hotel in exchange for (i) 95,484
units,  which  will  be  redeemable,  subject  to  certain  limitations,  for an
aggregate of approximately  95,484 shares of common stock and (ii) assumption of
approximately  $1.23 million of debt secured by the Acquisition Hotel, which was
repaid  immediately  with proceeds of the Secondary  Offering.  The 95,484 units
issued to the LLC in connection with the purchase of the Acquisition  Hotel have
a value of  approximately  $740,000 based on the Offering Price. The acquisition
of the Days Inn  Hotel  has  been  recorded  by the  Company  at the  affiliates
historical  cost  which is less than net  realizable  value.  The  equity of the
Acquisition  Hotel, net of the portion allocated to the minority  interest,  has
been recorded as an increase in paid-in  capital.  As of December 31, 1995,  the
Company owns a 78.91% interest,  and Mr. Humphrey,  Humphrey  Associates and the
LLC collectively own a 21.09% interest in the Partnership.

Note 1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

         On December  6, 1996,  the Company  completed  a public  offering  (the
"Third  Offering") of 1,150,000  shares of common stock. The gross proceeds were
$9,487,500  based on the offering price of $8.25 per share (the Offering Price).
Net of  underwriters'  discount  and  offering  expenses,  the Company  received
proceeds of $8,644,997 which were contributed to the Partnership in exchange for
units of Partnership interest.  The Company,  through the Partnership,  used the
proceeds to repay  approximately  $660,000 of outstanding  debt, pay development
costs associated with a 64-unit Comfort Suites Hotel in Dover, Delaware (the New
Development),  which were approximately  $1,620,000 as of December 31, 1996, and
to establish  reserves for future  acquisitions and development.  As of December
31,  1996,  the Company  owns an 84.82%  interest,  and Mr.  Humphrey,  Humphrey
Associates and the LLC collectively owned 15.18% interest in the Partnership.

Principles of Consolidation

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts of the
Company,  the  Partnership  and  the  Subsidiary  Partnership.  All  significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

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  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment in Hotel Properties

         Hotel  properties  are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is based upon the
straight-line  method over estimated  useful lives of the assets ranging from 15
to 40 years.  For tax purposes,  the Modified  Accelerated  Cost Recovery System
(MACRS) and the  Alternative  Depreciation  System (ADS) are used in  accordance
with the  Internal  Revenue Code (IRC).  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  cost  and  related  accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts,  and the gain or loss is included in
income from operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

         Cash and cash  equivalents  includes  cash, a repurchase  agreement,  a
certificate of deposit, and an investment in commercial paper, all with original
maturities  of  three  months  or less  when  acquired,  carried  at cost  which
approximates fair value.

Note 1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

Deferred Expenses

         Deferred  expenses  consist of  deferred  loan costs.  Amortization  is
computed using the  straight-line  method over the terms of the loan agreements.
The unamortized  balance of loan costs  associated with retired debt is expensed
upon repayment of the related debt.

Revenue Recognition

         Lease  income  is  recognized  when  due  from   Humphrey   Hospitality
Management,  Inc. (the  Lessee)  under  the  lease agreements (see Note 6).  Mr.
James I. Humphrey, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Directors of  the  Company,  is
the sole shareholder of the Lessee.

Earnings Per Common Share and Common Share Equivalents

         Earnings per common share and common share  equivalents are computed by
dividing  net income  before  allocation  to minority  interest by the  weighted
average  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  and  common  stock   equivalents
outstanding  for the period.  The  redemption  rights  referred to in Note 6 are
common stock  equivalents  and the number of shares issuable upon redemption are
added to the common shares outstanding.

Distributions

         The  Company  intends  to pay  regular  quarterly  dividends  which are
dependent upon the receipt of distributions from the Partnership.

Income Taxes

         The Company intends to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856
and 860 of the Internal  Revenue Code  effective  with its taxable  period ended
December 31, 1994.  Accordingly,  no provision for Federal income taxes has been
reflected in the financial statements.

         Earnings and profits,  which will determine the taxability of dividends
to  shareholders,  will differ from net income reported for financial  reporting
purposes due to the differences for Federal tax purposes in the estimated useful
lives and methods used to compute depreciation.

Concentration of Credit Risk

         The Company maintains its deposits, including its repurchase agreements
and  investment in  commercial  paper,  with three major banks.  At December 31,
1996,  the  balances  reported by the banks,  exceeded  the  federal  depository
insurance limits, however, management believes that no significant concentration
of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances.

       mature in  varying  amounts  November  1, 1995 through November 1, 2005.

(c)    The original $2,600,000 bond issue financing of 1984 was refunded with
       $2,270,000, 1993 Series Industrial Development Revenue Bonds on December
       21, 1993.  Crestar Bank is the lender and bond trustee.  Interest is
       accrued at the rate necessary to remarket the bonds at a price equal to
       100% of the outstanding principal balance.  The rate is adjusted weekly
       and is not to exceed 15%. At December 31,  1995 and 1996, the interest
       rate was 4.85% and 4.0%, respectively.  The bonds are subject to
       mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to the principal amount
       thereof plus all unpaid accrued interest thereon, pursuant to the sinking
       fund installments beginning on November 1, 1994, in the amount of $65,000
       increasing annually until November 1, 2009, when the payment equals
       $300,000.  The Partnership is required to fund a principal reserve
       monthly equal to one-twelfth of the mandatory sinking fund redemption.
       In addition, the Partnership is required to fund an interest reserve
       fund.  All principal and interest payments will be automatically deducted
       by the trustee.  Any deficiencies will be drawn under the letter of
       credit described above.

        Aggregate annual  principal  payments and payments to bond sinking funds
for the five years following December 31, 1996, and thereafter are as follows:

Note 4. Mortgages and Bonds Payable - Continued

         Bond sinking funds and escrows for taxes and insurance in the amount of
approximately  $99,000 and $113,622 and are included in other assets at December
31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

         The  Company's  outstanding  debt at  December  31,  1996,  consists of
variable rate bonds,  and fixed rate bonds and  mortgages.  Management  believes
that  the  carrying  amounts  of  the  Company's  mortgages  and  bonds  payable
approximate  fair value at  December  31,  1996,  as there  were no  significant
changes in the market  rate of interest  between  that date and the dates of the
respective mortgages and bonds.

Note 5.  Obligations Under Capital Lease

         Certain of the hotel  properties  lease equipment under  noncancellable

Note 6.  Commitments and Contingencies

         Pursuant to the Humphrey Hospitality Limited Partnership Agreement (the
Partnership  Agreement),  the Humphrey  Affiliates  received  redemption rights,
which will enable them to cause the Partnership to redeem their interests in the
Partnership  in exchange  for shares of common stock or for cash at the election
of the  Company.  The  redemption  rights  may  be  exercised  by  the  Humphrey
Affiliates at any time after one year following the closing of the Offering. The
number of shares of common stock initially  issuable to the Humphrey  Affiliates
upon exercise of the redemption rights is 527,866, which was determined based on
the cash value of their  interests  in the selling  partnerships  divided by the
initial  offering price of $6 per share.  In addition,  the Humphrey  Affiliates
received  redemption  rights in connection with the second offering which may be
exercised  for a total of 95,484  shares of common  stock.  The number of shares
issuable  upon  exercise of the  redemption  rights  will be  adjusted  upon the
occurrence of stock splits,  mergers,  consolidations  or similar pro rata share
transactions,  which  otherwise  would have the effect of diluting the ownership
interests of the Humphrey Affiliates or the shareholders of the Company.

         The Company acts as the general partner in the Partnership,  which acts
as a general partner in the Solomons Beacon Inn Limited Partnership  (Subsidiary
Partnership) and as such, is liable for all recourse debt of the partnerships to
the extent not paid by the  partnerships.  In the  opinion  of  management,  the
Company  does not  anticipate  any  losses  as a result of its  general  partner
obligations.

         The Company has entered into percentage  leases relating to each of the
Initial Hotels with the Lessee, for a term of 10 years, with a five-year renewal
option at the  option of the  Lessee.  Pursuant  to the terms of the  percentage
leases,  the Lessee is  required to pay both base rent and  percentage  rent and
certain  other  additional  charges  and is  entitled  to all  profits  from the
operations  of the  Initial  Hotels  after  the  payment  of  certain  specified
operating  expenses.  Also pursuant to the terms of the percentage  leases,  the
Company is required  to make  available  to the Lessee an amount  equal to 4% of
room  revenue on a  quarterly  cumulative  basis for  capital  improvements  and
refurbishments.  As of December  31, 1995 and 1996,  the Company has  segregated
$407,000 and $68,000,  respectively,  into a reserve for replacements to be made
available  to the  Lessee.  The Company has future  lease  commitments  from the

Development, Inc., a Humphrey Affiliate, pursuant to which Humphrey Development,

pay any  development  costs in excess of  $2,795,910  in exchange for a right to
purchase the New  Development  from the Company on the sixth  anniversary of its
commencement of operations for $2,795,910.

         The hotel properties are operated under franchise agreements assumed by
the Lessee,  that have indefinite lives but may be terminated by either party on
certain  anniversary dates specified in the agreements.  The agreements  require
annual payments for franchise royalties,  reservation,  and advertising services
which are based upon  percentages of gross room revenue.  These fees are paid by
the Lessee.

         The Company obtained a $600,000 unsecured  revolving line of credit for
working  capital  from  James  I.  Humphrey,  Jr.,  Chairman  of the  Board  and

Inn Hotel  located in  Culpeper,  Virginia.  The Company  assumed  approximately
$1,220,000 in tax exempt bond financing and utilized  approximately  $680,000 in

To the Shareholder
Humphrey Hospitality Management, Inc.

         We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Humphrey Hospitality

31, 1995 and 1996.  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  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Humphrey Hospitality

                           December 31, 1995 and 1996



Note 1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Humphrey  Hospitality  Management,  Inc. (the Lessee) was  incorporated
under the laws of the State of  Maryland on August 18, 1994 to lease and operate
seven existing hotel properties (the Initial  Partnership  Hotels) from Humphrey
Hospitality  Limited  Partnership  (the  Partnership),  one hotel  property from
Solomons Beacon Inn Limited Partnership (the Subsidiary  Partnership)  (together
with the Initial Partnership Hotels, the Initial Hotels), and the Days Inn Hotel
(the Acquisition  Hotel) (together with the Initial Hotels,  the Hotels),  which
was acquired by the Partnership on July 21, 1995. James I. Humphrey,  Jr. is the
sole  shareholder  of the Lessee.  The Lessee began  operations  on November 29,
1994.  Prior to November 29, 1994,  the Initial Hotels were operated by Humphrey
Hotels,  Inc.  From  November 1, 1994,  the  Acquisition  Hotel was  operated by
Humphrey Hotels, Inc., and was owned and operated by an unaffiliated party prior
to November 1994.

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  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

         The  Lessee  considers  accounts  receivable  to be fully  collectible;
accordingly,  no allowance for doubtful accounts is required.  If amounts become
uncollectible,  they will be charged to operations  when that  determination  is
made.

Income Taxes

         The Lessee has  elected to be treated as an S  Corporation  for Federal
and state  income tax  purposes.  Therefore,  no provision or benefit for income
taxes has been included in these  financial  statements  since taxable income or
loss passes through to, and is reportable by, the stockholder individually.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

         Cash and cash  equivalents  consist of cash and a repurchase  agreement
with a bank with an  original  maturity of three  months or less when  acquired,
carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

         The Company  places cash  deposits  with major  banks.  At December 31,
1996,  the  balances  reported  by one  bank  exceeded  the  federal  depository
insurance   limit  by  $580,321.   Management   believes  that  no   significant
concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances.

Note 2.  Related Party Transactions

Management Fees and Payroll Reimbursements

         The Lessee had entered into separate management agreements, relating to
each of the Initial  Hotels,  with  Humphrey  Hotels,  Inc. (the  Operator),  an
affiliate.  Pursuant to the  management  agreements,  a fee equal to 3% of total
revenue is payable to Humphrey  Hotels,  Inc. and is subordinate in all respects
to the Lessee's  obligations under the percentage  leases. For the period August
18,  1994  through  December  31,  1994 and the year ended  December  31,  1995,
management  fees of $14,904 and  $241,010,  respectively,  have been accrued and
charged to operations.

         The  Operator  provides  all  site  employees  for  the  Lessee  and is
reimbursed for the salaries and related costs. During the period from August 18,
1994 through  December 31, 1994 and the year ended December 31, 1995, the Lessee
incurred  charges of $119,556  and  $1,737,805,  respectively,  for such payroll
reimbursements.

         As of December  31, 1995,  the amount due the  Operator for  management
fees  and  payroll  reimbursements  was  $67,625,  which is  included  in due to
affiliates on the 1995 balance sheet.

         On  February  9, 1996,  the Lessee  announced  the  termination  of its
operating  agreements  with the Operator  effective  January 1, 1996. The Lessee
immediately  began  operating  all  of  the  hotels  that  it  leases  from  the

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Humphrey Hospitality Trust, Inc.

         We  have  audited  the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheets  of the
Combined  Selling  Partnerships  Initial  Hotels  as of  December  31,  1993 and
November 28, 1994, and the related combined statements of opera tions, partners'
deficit  and cash flows for each of the two years in the period  ended  December
31,  1993 and the  period  from  January 1, 1994 to  November  28,  1994.  These
combined   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  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  combined  financial  position  of the
Combined  Selling  Partnerships  - Initial  Hotels as of December 31, 1993,  and
November 28,  1994,  and the combined  results of their  operations,  changes in
partners'  deficit  and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended  December  31,  1993 and the period from  January 1, 1994 to November  28,
1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1.  Organization, Proposed Initial Public Offering and Basis of
         Presentation

Organization

         Humphrey  Hospitality  Trust, Inc. (the Company) was established to own
initially seven existing hotels  directly (the  Partnerships)  and a 99% general
partnership  interest in Solomons Beacon Inn Limited Partnership (the Subsidiary
Partnership),  which owns the remaining hotel  (collectively the Initial Hotels)
and to continue  the hotel  acquisition  and  operating  strategies  of James I.
Humphrey,  Jr., Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of the Company,
and Humphrey Hotels,  Inc.  (Humphrey  Hotels).  The Company qualifies as a real
estate  investment  trust  (REIT) under the  Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as
amended, (the Code). The Initial Hotels include seven Comfort Inn hotels and one
Best  Western  hotel with an  aggregate of 557 rooms and are located in Maryland
(one hotel),  Tennessee (one hotel),  Virginia (four hotels),  and West Virginia
(two hotels).  Upon completion of the Formation  Transactions,  the Company will
own a 71.46% interest in Humphrey Hospital ity Limited  Partnership,  a Virginia
limited  partnership  (the  Partnership).  The Company  will be the sole general
partner of the  Partnership.  The Partnership will own an equity interest in and
lease each Initial Hotel to Humphrey Hospitality Management, Inc. (Lessee) under
a  Percentage  Lease which  provides for rent equal to the sum of (i) fixed base
rent, plus (ii) percentage rent based on the room revenue from the hotel.

         As of  November  28,  1994,  the  Selling  Partnerships  were  owned as

Note 1.  Organization, Proposed Initial Public Offering and Basis of
         Presentation - Continued

         The Partnership  will enter into percentage  leases,  each having a ten
(10) year term,  with the Lessee.  The percentage  leases will provide for lease
payments  equal to the sum of (i) minimum  base rent in the  aggregate of $1,552
annually plus (ii) percentage  rent based upon specific  percentages of room and
other revenue of each of the Initial Hotels.

         The Lessee will enter into management  agreements with Humphrey Hotels,
Inc.  (the  Operator)  whereby  the  Operator  will be  required  to perform all
management  functions  necessary  to  operate  the  Initial  Hotels.  Under  the
management  agreements,  the  Operator  will be paid a fee  equal to 3% of gross
revenue from the Initial Hotels.

Proposed Initial Public Offering

         The  Company  expects  to  file  a  registration   statement  with  the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  pursuant to which the Company  expects to
offer  1,849,566  shares of its common stock,  including  approximately  527,866
units to be received by James I.  Humphrey,  Jr. and Humphrey  Associates,  Inc.
(the Humphrey Associates),  to the public (the Offering). The Company expects to
qualify as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856-860 of the Internal
Revenue  Code.  Under the proposed  structure,  the Company will become the sole
general  partner in the  Partnership  and the  Humphrey  Associates  will be the
limited partners.

         Upon   completion  of  the  Offering,   the  Company  will   contribute
substantially  all of the net  proceeds of the  Offering to the  Partnership  in
exchange  for  71.46%  general  partnership  interest  in the  Partnership.  The
Partnership will use the proceeds from the Company to acquire the Initial Hotels
from the Selling Partnerships, to repay certain outstanding indebtedness, and to
acquire the interest of certain existing limited partners. Rather than receiving
cash  for  their  interests  in the  Selling  Partnerships  upon the sale of the
Initial  Hotels,  the  Humphrey  Associates  have  elected  to  receive  limited
partnership interests in the Partnership aggregating 28.54%.

         After  consummation  of the Offering,  the Company's  acquisition of an
interest in the  Partnership  and the  Partnership's  acquisition of the Initial
Hotels,  (a) the Company  will own 71.46% of the  Partnership,  (b) the Humphrey
Associates  will own an  aggregate  of  28.54% of the  Partnership,  and (c) the
Partnership  will own  approximately  100% of the equity  interest  in all eight
Initial Hotels.

Basis of Presentation

         The combined  financial  statements include the accounts of the Selling
Partnerships  using their  historical  cost  basis.  Because the Company and the
Partnership  began operations on November 29, 1994, there is no account activity
for  inclusion  in  these  combined  financial  statements.   Additionally,   no
adjustments have been reflected in these combined  financial  statements to give
effect to the purchase of the Initial Hotels by the Partnership.

         Management believes that these combined financial  statements result in
a more  meaningful  presentation  of the  businesses  to be  acquired  and  thus
appropriately   reflect  the  historical   financial  position  and  results  of
operations.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment in Hotel Properties

         Investment  in hotel  properties  is stated at cost.  Depreciation  for
financial reporting purposes is principally based upon the straight-line  method
for  buildings  and  improvements  and  accelerated  methods for  furniture  and
equipment. For tax purposes, the accelerated cost recovery system (ACRS) and the
modified  accelerated  cost recovery  system (MACRS) is used, in accordance with
the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  to  depreciate  buildings  and  improvements  and
furniture and equipment.

         The estimated lives used to depreciate the Initial Hotel properties are
as follows:

                                                           Years
                                                           -----
       Building and improvements                         25 to 31.5
       Furniture and equipment                               5 to 7

         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 gain or loss is included in income from operations.

Inventories

         Inventories  are  stated  at the  lower of cost  (generally,  first-in,
first-out) or market.

Deferred Expenses

         Deferred  expenses  consist of franchise  fees and deferred loan costs.
Amortization is computed using the straight-line  method based upon the terms of
the franchise and loan agreements which range from 5 to 30 years.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

Income Taxes

         The Selling  Partnerships  are not  subject to federal or state  income
taxes; however, they must file informational income tax returns and the partners
must take income or loss of the Selling  Partnerships  into  consideration  when
filing their respective tax returns. The cumulative  difference between the book
basis and tax basis of the  Selling  Partnerships'  assets  and  liabilities  is
approximately  $1,070 due primarily to depreciation and amortization  expense on
the tax basis in excess of the book basis.

Revenue Recognition

         Revenue is recognized  as earned.  The  management  of the  Partnership
considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance
for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be
charged to operations when that determination is made.

Concentration of Credit Risk

         The Selling  Partnerships  placed cash  deposits  with major banks.  At
November 28, 1994, bank accounts exceeded the federal depository insurance limit
by $71.

Note 3.  Bond Sinking Funds and Escrows

         Bond  sinking  funds  and  escrows  consist  of  amounts  for taxes and
insurance  remitted  to the  lenders  which  hold  the  mortgages  on the  hotel
facilities and sinking funds created to make principal payments.

Note 4.  Mortgage Notes and Bonds Payable

         Mortgage  notes and bonds  payable as of December 31, 1993 and November
28, 1994, consisted of the following:

         the outstanding principal balance.  The rate is adjusted weekly and is
         not to exceed 11.3636%.  At November 28, 1994, the interest rate was

         the effective rate on the bonds.  The bonds may be redeemed at the
         option of the Partnership in denominations greater than $25,000.
         Mandatory redemptions are pursuant to a sinking fund redemption

         the Partnership is required to fund an interest reserve fund.  All
         principal and interest payments will be automatically deducted by the
         trustee.  Any deficiencies will be drawn under the letter of credit.

(b)      On October  14,  1992,  $2,528,000  of  Variable  Rate  First  Mortgage
         Refunding  Revenue  Bonds  were  issued by the  Industrial  Development
         Authority of Pulaski County, Virginia. Crestar Bank is the trustee. The
         outstanding  principal  balance  bears  interest at a rate equal to the
         Wall  Street  Prime Rate of Interest  adjusted  upward or downward by a
         factor that  incorporates the maximum marginal federal corporate income
         tax rate (7.633% at November 28,  1994).  The  agreement  establishes a
         sinking fund from which  principal  payments on the bonds will be made.
         The bonds mature in varying amounts  November 1, 1994 through  November
         1, 2005.

         Morgantown Lodging Associates limited partnership to James I. Humphrey,
         Jr., a limited partner, are required to be contributed to the
         Partnership and deposited into an escrow account.  All funds in the
         additional escrow account revert to the Partnership when the bonds are
         refinanced.

(d)      Effective  October  31,  1992,  the  Partnership  executed  a  mortgage
         modification  agreement  with the bank  extending  the maturity date to
         October 31, 1997. The terms of the modification  agreement provided for
         a principal payment of $180,000 upon execution of the agreement.

(e)      Interest is adjusted every five years to a rate equal to three hundred
         twenty-five basis points over the weekly average gross yield on
         five-year United States Treasury notes for the most recently available
         month and is subject to a floor of 12.55%, the rate of closing.  At
         November 28, 1994, the interest rate was 12.55%.  Principal and
         interest are payable by the Partnership in monthly installments
         sufficient to amortize the mortgage over a thirty-year term at the
         current rate of interest.  For the five-year period beginning January
         1, 1989, the monthly installments are $20,243.  The maturity date of
         the mortgage is January 2019.  Allied Capital Commercial Corporation at
         its option may on January 1, 1999, and on every fifth anniversary date
         thereafter, declare the entire unpaid balance of principal and interest
         immediately due and payable upon giving at least ninety days advance
         written notice.

(f)      The  mortgage is  financed  through a  tax-exempt  bond issue of Mercer
         County,  West  Virginia  Industrial  Development  Revenue  Bonds,  1984
         Series.  Interest  is accrued at prime plus 1.5% (10% at  November  28,
         1994). Principal payments as outlined in the bond document plus accrued
         interest are payable  monthly through January 1, 2011. The mortgage was
         subject to  mandatory  redemption  on November 1, 1994 with ninety days
         notice.

Note 7.  Commitments

Franchise Agreements

         The Selling  Partnerships have executed franchise  agreements that have
indefinite  lives but may be terminated  by either party on certain  anniversary

which are being amortized over the estimated  franchise  lives of 20 years,  the
agreements  require annual payments for franchise  royalties,  reservation,  and
advertising  services  which are based upon  percentages  of gross room revenue.
