                           Studio Plus Hotels, Inc.
             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 (Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, certain
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements have been omitted.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which
are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of
operations have been made.  These interim financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Studio Plus Hotels, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Studio Plus Properties, Inc. (together the "Company"), 1995 Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.

(2)  Investments

        The Company accounts for investments in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  The statement requires that
certain investments be classified into three separate categories:
"held-to-maturity," "available-for-sale," and "trading," each with different
accounting treatment.  The Company has classified its investment in a mutual
fund, investing primarily in municipal bonds, and its investment in United
States Government obligations as "available-for-sale."   The available-for-sale
classification requires the Company to record these investments at fair market
value and record the gross unrealized holding gains and losses, after-tax, as a
separate component of shareholders' equity.  The amortized cost of these
investments is approximately $38,900,000 at June 30, 1996.  Investments with
maturities between three and twelve months are considered short-term
investments.

(3)  Income Taxes

        Net income for periods prior to the completion of the Company's initial
public offering on June 26, 1995 (the "IPO") excludes taxes on income.   Prior
to the IPO, the Company was organized as S-corporations and partnerships (the
"Predecessor Entities"), and therefore, was not subject to income tax.

(4)  Follow-on Offering and Stock Split

        On April 2, 1996, the Company completed a follow-on offering of
3,236,898 shares of Common Stock, including 450,000 shares issued as a result of
the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option at $25.25 per share (the
"Offering").  Net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately
$76.8 million.  The Company used the net proceeds from the

                                     Page 7

<PAGE>   8

Offering to repay approximately $11.0 million of  indebtedness under its line
of credit  (the "Line of Credit") and the balance to fund the development of
additional StudioPLUS hotels and for working capital and general corporate
purposes.

        On July 9, 1996, a three-for-two split of the Company's Common Stock was
effected in the form of a stock dividend of three shares of Common Stock for
each two shares of Common Stock  outstanding at the close of business on June
20, 1996.    Effective with the stock split, Common Stock outstanding increased
from 8,351,898 to 12,527,833 shares.  Accordingly, all applicable share and per
share data, except as discussed in the preceding paragraph, have been adjusted
for the stock split.

(5)  Earnings Per Share

        The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used
in the computation of earnings per share for the three months ended June 30,
1996, are as follows:


<TABLE>
        <S>                                              <C>

     The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used in
the computation of earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
are as follows:

         <S>                                             <C>             
         Weighted average common shares issued            6,697,879

         Weighted average number of common and                           
          common equivalent shares                       10,362,392      
</TABLE>


         The pro forma earnings per share for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 1995, have been calculated by dividing pro forma net
income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be
outstanding. Net income has been adjusted to pro forma net income by reflecting
the tax that would have been paid by the Company if it had been subject to
income tax for the full period, assuming a 40.0% effective tax rate.

         The Company believes that the earnings per share calculations discussed
above, required in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15,
are not meaningful for periods prior to the IPO.  Rather, if certain
adjustments are made to the combined historical operating results for the
Predecessor Entities and 7,672,500 shares are assumed outstanding on a
post-split basis, the adjusted net income per share for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 would be $0.19, compared to $0.20 for the six months ended June
30, 1996.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

     During the first six months of 1996, Studio Plus Hotels, Inc. (the
"Company") opened four new hotels: one in Montgomery, Alabama (February 24,
1996, 72 suites), one in Charlotte, North Carolina (March 29, 1996, 72 suites),
and two in Birmingham, Alabama (March 31, 1996, 72 suites; May 20, 1996, 72
suites).  The addition of these four hotels brings the Company's total
portfolio to 26 StudioPLUS hotels in operation containing 1,858 suites, as of
June 30, 1996.  As of July 30, 1996, the Company had 11 StudioPLUS hotels under
construction located in 7 states, all of which are expected to open by the end
of the first quarter of 1997.  In addition, the Company has 19 sites under
contract, located in 9 states, and development efforts are under way or
negotiations are continuing on approximately 30 additional sites located in 15
states.  The Company anticipates acquiring and beginning construction on many
of these additional sites by the end of 1996, with the goal of operating at
least 60 StudioPLUS hotels by the end of 1997 and at least 100 by the end of
1998.  The Company will continue searching for other appropriate sites to
locate and construct StudioPLUS hotels as it expands its development pipeline.

     During the second quarter of 1996 the Company continued to add to its
corporate infrastructure.  This was evident especially in the area of corporate
operations support as the Company added staff to help prepare for opening and
operating approximately nine more StudioPLUS hotels this year and at least 25
StudioPLUS hotels in 1997.  However, the most significant addition this year
came just following the conclusion of the second quarter when the Company
announced on July 17, 1996, that Michael J. Moriarty would join its senior
management team as President and Chief Operating Officer and as a member of the
Board of Directors.  Moriarty is an experienced lodging professional whose
background includes national development and brand expansion, finance, and
hotel operations management.  With several strategic personnel additions
completed during the second quarter concluding with the addition of Moriarty,
the pace of further increases in corporate support staff is expected to
decrease for the balance of 1996.

     At the conclusion of the first quarter, the Company sold 3,236,898 shares
of Common Stock in a follow-on offering (the "Offering") that was completed on
April 2, 1996, at a price of $25.25 per share.  This Offering increased the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock to 8,351,898 shares prior to the
split.

     On May 28, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a three-for-two
split of the Company's Common Stock.  This stock split was effected in the form
of a stock dividend paid on July 9, 1996 to shareholders of record on June 20,
1996.  As a result, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding increased
to 12,527,833 shares.

     The Company's disclosures regarding its development schedule and plans for
the opening of new StudioPLUS hotels constitute "forward looking statements"
which are subject to various risks and uncertainties.  For the Company's
assessment of the relevant factors relating to such risks and uncertainties in
connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities

                                     Page 9

<PAGE>   10

Litigation Reform Act of 1995, readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
are advised to review the Company's disclosures contained in the Company's
Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 13, 1996 and filed with the Commission
on August 13, 1996.

     The following discusses historical results for the Company from the date
of the IPO and combined historical results for the Predecessor Entities prior
to the IPO.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of three months ended June 30, 1996, to three months ended June 30,
1995.

     Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1996, was $5,704,000, an
increase of $1,493,000, or approximately 35.5% over the corresponding three
months during 1995.  Room revenue for this period increased by approximately
$1,458,000, of which (i) approximately $146,000 is attributable to the 18
hotels open throughout both periods and (ii) approximately $1,312,000 is
attributable to the eight new hotels that have opened since December 31, 1994
(the "New Hotels").  The increase in room revenue from the 18 hotels open
throughout both periods resulted from a 4.0% increase in weekly revenue per
available room from $222.93 to $231.85, which reflects a 7.8% increase in
average weekly rates from $249.67 to $269.06 and a decrease in occupancy from
89.3% to 86.2%.  The net increase in other revenue was approximately $35,000,
due primarily to telephone, laundry and vending income from the New Hotels.

     Property operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were
$2,454,000, an increase of $821,000, or approximately 50.3% over the three
months ended June 30, 1995 of which (i) approximately $191,000 is attributable
to the 18 hotels open throughout both periods and (ii) approximately $630,000
is attributable to the New Hotels.  The increase in property operating expenses
for the 18 hotels open throughout both periods resulted primarily from higher
labor, marketing and administrative expenses.  Corporate operating expenses
increased approximately $434,000, resulting from expanding the Company's
corporate infrastructure to support its national expansion program, in addition
to various expenses associated with operating as a public company which were
not applicable for the corresponding period during the prior year.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $327,000, or approximately
75.2%, resulting primarily from operating the New Hotels and the associated
amortization of their preopening costs.  The reduction of $1,593,000 in net
interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996, over the
corresponding period in 1995 is attributable to a decrease of approximately
$770,000 in interest expense, resulting from the payoff of debt from the IPO
and Offering proceeds, and an increase in interest income of approximately
$823,000 due primarily to the investment of proceeds from the Offering.  The
provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1996, was
approximately $953,000, for an effective tax rate of 39.0%.  Prior to the IPO,
the Predecessor Entities were not subject to income taxes.  The income tax
expense for the three months ended June 30, 1995, consists primarily of charges
relating to the termination of the S-corporation and partnership status of the
Predecessor Entities.

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 1996, to six months ended June 30,
1995.

     Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996, was $10,127,000, an
increase of $2,780,000 or approximately 37.8% over the corresponding six months
during 1995.  Room revenue for this period increased by approximately
$2,740,000, of which (i) approximately $593,000 is attributable to the 18
hotels open throughout both periods, and (ii) approximately $2,147,000 is
attributable to the New Hotels.  The increase in room revenue from the 18
hotels open throughout both periods resulted from an 8.5% increase in weekly
revenue per available room from $199.02 to $215.97, which reflects an 8.5%
increase in average weekly rates from $239.98 to $260.39, with occupancy
remaining the same for both periods at 82.9%.  The net increase in other
revenue was approximately $40,000; however, excluding a one-time gain on sale
of assets of approximately $67,000 that occurred during the three months ended
March 31, 1995, other revenue increased approximately $107,000 due primarily to
higher telephone, laundry and vending income.

     Property operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$4,385,000, an increase of $1,410,000, or approximately 47.4% over the six
months ended June 30, 1995, of which (i) approximately $418,000 is attributable
to the 18 hotels open throughout both periods, and (ii) approximately $992,000
is attributable to the New Hotels.  The increase in property operating expenses
for the 18 hotels open throughout both periods resulted primarily from higher
labor, marketing, and administrative expenses.  Corporate operating expenses
increased approximately $1,011,000, resulting from corporate infrastructure
expansion in addition to various expenses associated with operating as public
company which were not applicable for the corresponding period during the prior
year.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $593,000, or approximately
70.3%, resulting primarily from operating the New Hotels and the associated
amortization of their preopening costs.  The reduction of $2,376,000 in
interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996, over the corresponding
period 1995 can be attributed to a decrease of approximately $1,521,000 in
interest expense, resulting from the payoff of debt with proceeds from the
Company's IPO in 1995 and the Offering in April, 1996 and an increase in
interest income of approximately $855,000 due to the investment proceeds from
the follow-on offering.  The provision for income taxes for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 was approximately $1,328,000, for an effective tax rate of
39.0%.  Prior to the IPO, the Predecessor Entities were not subject to income
taxes.  The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 1995, consists
primarily of charges relating to the termination of the S-corporation and
partnership status of the Predecessor Entities.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     On April 2, 1996, the Company completed its follow-on Offering of Common
Stock, raising net proceeds and increasing paid-in capital by approximately
$76.8 million.  The Company applied a portion of the net proceeds from the
Offering to repay approximately $11.0 million of indebtedness under its line of
credit (the "Line of Credit"), the balance to fund the development

                                    Page 11

<PAGE>   12

of additional StudioPLUS hotels and for working capital and general corporate
purposes.  Excess net proceeds have been invested in interest-bearing,
short-term, investment grade securities or money market accounts.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company generated
$4,159,000 in cash provided by operating activities, an increase of $2,169,000
over the six months ended June 30, 1995.  This 109% increase can be attributed
primarily to an improvement in net income resulting from operating the New
Hotels.

     In February, the Company amended its existing Line of Credit with Bank
One, Lexington, NA (the "Bank") to increase its borrowing capacity from $30
million to $50 million.  Subsequent to the increase to $50 million, the Company
received a commitment from the Bank to increase the principal amount available
under the Line of Credit to approximately $163 million.  The increase in the
Line of Credit is subject to the Bank obtaining commitments from participating
lenders and other customary closing conditions.  Under the commitment for the
increased Line of Credit, the financial covenants and terms and conditions of
the existing Line of Credit will continue to apply, and the Company has agreed
to certain additional financial covenants and restrictions which the Company
does not believe will adversely affect the Company.  There can be no assurance
that the Bank will be successful in obtaining commitments from participating
lenders or that all the conditions to the increase in the Line of Credit will
be met or that the Company will be able to obtain the increase in the Line of
Credit.

     Of the 11 StudioPLUS hotels currently under construction, the Company
expects to open nine by the end of 1996.  The Company estimates that these nine
additional StudioPLUS hotels to be completed during 1996 should have a total
development cost of approximately $28.0 million which the Company intends to
fund with proceeds from the Offering, borrowings under the Line of Credit and
cash flow from operations.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company
will complete the development of such additional StudioPLUS hotels during 1996
in a timely manner or within budget.

     The Company in the future may seek to further increase the amount of its
credit facilities, negotiate additional or modify existing credit facilities,
or issue corporate debt instruments.  Any debt incurred or issued by the
Company may be secured or unsecured at fixed or variable interest rates and may
be subject to such terms as the Board of Directors of the Company deems
prudent.

     The Company believes that the proceeds from the Offering, borrowings under
the Line of Credit and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to
meet the Company's working capital and capital expenditure needs for the
foreseeable future.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets", and SFAS No. 123
"Accounting for

                                    Page 12

<PAGE>   13

Stock-Based Compensation", both of which are effective for  fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 1995.

     SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain intangibles held
and used by entities be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable.  The Company has concluded that adoption of this standard has no
material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.

     SFAS No. 123 requires either the recognition or the pro forma disclosure
of compensation expense for stock options and other equity instruments
determined by a fair value based method of accounting.  The Company intends to
disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share in the 1996 Annual Report,
which will have no effect on the consolidated financial statements.

EXHIBIT 15


                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors
Studio Plus Hotels, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and
related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows of
Studio Plus Hotels, Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 1996, and for the three
month and six month periods then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
