PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ON AUGUST 1, 1995, IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE CONSUMMATION OF THE
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF RED LION HOTELS, INC. ("RED LION" OR THE
"COMPANY"), THE COMPANY SUCCEEDED TO THE BUSINESS OF RED LION, A CALIFORNIA
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ("HISTORICAL RED LION"). UNLESS THE CONTEXT OTHERWISE
REQUIRES, REFERENCES HEREIN TO (I) "RED LION" OR THE "COMPANY" INCLUDE RED
LION HOTELS, INC. AND, FOR PERIODS PRIOR TO AUGUST 1, 1995, INCLUDE THE
OPERATIONS OF HISTORICAL RED LION AND HISTORICAL RED LION'S SUBSIDIARIES,
AFFILIATES AND JOINT VENTURES, AND (II) THE "PARTNERSHIP" MEANS RED LION, A
CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, SUBSEQUENT TO
AUGUST 1, 1995.
THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT THAT ARE NOT STATEMENTS OF
HISTORICAL FACT MAY INCLUDE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE A
NUMBER OF RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. MOREOVER, FROM TIME TO TIME THE COMPANY
MAY ISSUE OTHER FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THE FOLLOWING FACTORS ARE AMONG
THE FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: NATIONAL OR LOCAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AFFECTING
THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND FOR HOTEL SPACE; COMPETITION IN HOTEL OPERATIONS,
INCLUDING ADDITIONAL OR IMPROVED SERVICES OR FACILITIES OF COMPETITORS AND
PRICE PRESSURES; COMPETITION FOR ACQUISITION AND OTHER EXPANSION
OPPORTUNITIES WHICH COULD LIMIT THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT ITS
EXTERNAL GROWTH STRATEGY; AND AVAILABILITY OF FINANCING TO FUND EXPANSION
OPPORTUNITIES. THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN
LIGHT OF THESE FACTORS.
GENERAL
Red Lion is a leading full service hospitality company operating 54
hotels containing approximately 14,250 rooms in the western United States.
A typical Red Lion property is a full service hotel located in close
proximity to a business or commercial center, airport, major highway or
tourist destination. Red Lion hotels target the business traveler (both
individual and group) and compete primarily in the upscale segment of the
lodging industry with national chains, including Marriott, Hilton and
Sheraton. In 1995, Red Lion's average room and occupancy rates were $75.14
and 72.7%, respectively.
Red Lion is a fully integrated hospitality company that has operating
control over each of its 54 hotels. This operating control allows Red Lion
to implement consistent standards and programs at the hotels and has
enabled Red Lion to develop a brand name that it believes is associated
with both value and quality. As the exclusive operator of its hotels, Red
Lion believes that it is able to manage its hotels more effectively than
many of its franchised competitors.
Red Lion's operating strengths have translated into strong financial
performance. Red Lion has significantly outperformed the full service
segment of the lodging industry in periods of industry weakness as well as
periods of industry growth, as measured by gross operating margins. For the
three years ended December 31, 1994, Red Lion's gross operating margins
ranged from 32.6% to 34.0%, compared to the average for the full service
segment during this time period of 26.5% to 30.8%. For 1995, Red Lion's
gross operating margins were 35.3%, which is again expected to be above the
full service segment average. Management attributes these higher margins to
an operating strategy that has resulted in high labor productivity, well
trained employees and effective cost controls and to the efficiencies
generated through its centralized support services.

<PAGE>
OPERATING STRATEGY
The Company's operating strategy emphasizes a commitment to service
and customer value, reinvestment in facilities, quality food and beverage
services, maintenance of a strong base of group business and direct sales
and marketing. Red Lion is dedicated to providing exceptional service and
value to its customers. Its extensive training programs and tracking of
customer comments allow reinvestment in service and amenities where they
are most appreciated. In addition, during the last five years, an average
of approximately 6.2% of revenues has been invested annually in room and
facilities refurbishments, renovations and furniture and equipment
replacements. This investment has resulted in attractive, newly appointed
accommodations, updated restaurants and modern equipment, all of which
enhance the Company's brand image and competitive position. Red Lion's
focus on operations has enabled it to generate strong operating margins and
attract group business. Red Lion's strong base of group business, supported
by national and local sales and marketing efforts, generates significant
room and catering revenues.
GROWTH STRATEGY
Red Lion's operating strategy is designed to achieve internal growth
through improvements in the performance of existing hotels. In addition to
its internal growth strategy, the Company has developed an external growth
strategy focused on adding new Red Lion hotels to its system. This strategy
is intended to capitalize on Red Lion's strong record as a hotel operator,
its name recognition and its ability to deliver a strong base of loyal
customers. The strategy encompasses a full range of expansion options,
including acquisitions, joint venture investments, leases, management
contracts and new construction.
In December 1995, the 369-room former Sheraton Hotel in downtown
Spokane, Washington was added to the Red Lion system through the
acquisition of the hotel by a joint venture in which the Company currently
has a 10% interest. The Company now manages the hotel, renamed the Red Lion
Hotel, Spokane City Center, under a long-term management contract. The
joint venture acquired the hotel for a total investment of approximately
$19 million including a $10 million secured financing with a third-party
lender, a $3.4 million closing investment by the Company and the Company's
commitment to finance a planned $5.8 million renovation project as a
secured subordinated loan.
Red Lion has substantial capital for growth available from existing
cash balances and a $130 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving
Credit Facility"). Under the Revolving Credit Facility, $80 million
initially is available to make joint venture investments, pursue
acquisitions and make capital investments in connection with long-term
leases or management contracts. These capital commitments are often
necessary to renovate or convert a hotel to Red Lion's high standards. Red
Lion believes that its ability to make such investments allows it to
compete effectively for hotel acquisitions and makes it attractive to hotel
owners, landlords and joint venture partners. In addition, Red Lion
believes that its superior operating margins and strong reputation for
delivering high quality guest services will make it attractive to owners of
underperforming hotels seeking to improve performance through new
management and brand affiliation.
HOTEL OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
Red Lion has long-term operating control over substantially all of its
properties. Red Lion owns or leases, under a long-term lease, 38 of its 54
hotels. The Company's remaining 16 hotels are operated
2
<PAGE>
pursuant to management contracts. Owned hotels consist of 100% owned
properties (14 hotels) and properties in which Red Lion holds a 49.9%
interest through joint venture agreements (seven hotels). See "Joint
Ventures." Leased properties (17 hotels) are operated pursuant to a lease,
which has a 15 year initial term and is renewable, at the option of the
Company, for five additional five year periods on the same terms (the
"Lease"). See "Item 2. Properties--The Lease." Ten of the managed hotels
are owned by Red Lion Inns Limited Partnership, a publicly traded master
limited partnership (the "MLP"), and operated by the Company pursuant to a
management contract, expiring in 2062, including all renewals. The general
partner of the MLP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. See
"Management Contracts."
HOTELS
The Company's properties are high quality, primarily full service
hotels. In addition to restaurants, lounges, banquet and meeting space,
these hotels generally offer premium television channel and movie
availability, complimentary airport shuttle service, swimming pools, room
service and valet services. Other guest amenities may include health and
fitness facilities, tennis courts, spas, gift shops, car rental desks, free
parking, hair styling salons, valet parking, concierge services, business
centers, honor bars, in-room two-line telephones and guest memberships at
health clubs, tennis courts and golf courses. Eight Red Lion hotels
containing fewer than 5% of Red Lion's total hotel rooms are limited
service hotels, reflecting the smaller communities where these hotels are
located.
The Company's full service hotels have in excess of 660,000 aggregate
square feet of meeting and convention space. These extensive meeting and
convention facilities attract numerous national, regional and local
associations and major corporate groups to the Company's hotels for
business conventions, conferences, banquets, receptions, sales meetings,
training sessions, seminars and private celebrations. Red Lion believes
that the significant size of, and amenities provided at, its facilities
attract repeat business from these associations and groups. Thirteen of the
hotels have ballrooms that can accommodate groups of over 1,000 people.
The Company's restaurants, lounges and banquet services are committed
to providing high quality food and beverage services. Food and beverage
revenues constituted 33.6%, 34.4% and 35.5% of Red Lion's revenues in 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company constantly updates and enhances
its product offerings, catering services and restaurant formats, focusing
on high quality fresh ingredients, attractive and interesting menu designs
and training programs designed to introduce Red Lion chefs to innovative
preparation techniques. Management believes that a significant portion of
its restaurant and lounge business comes from local communities and that
this patronage increases Red Lion's name recognition and repeat business
potential in the local community. Red Lion renovated or reformatted
substantially all of its restaurants during the last six years in response
to customers' desires for a casual dining format and lighter fare.
More detailed information about the Red Lion hotels is included in
"Item 2. Properties."
CUSTOMERS AND MARKETING
CUSTOMERS, MARKETING AND SALES
Red Lion's customer mix consists of business travelers, leisure
travelers, groups and contract accounts. These customer segments accounted
for an estimated 46%, 11%, 33% and 10%, respectively,
3
<PAGE>
of total room nights in 1995. The Company's marketing and sales program
consists of a centrally coordinated national marketing team operating
through sales offices in Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland,
Seattle, Chicago and Washington, D.C. and over 300 trained sales and
catering managers located at individual properties. A key objective of the
Company's national sales force is to acquire and maintain national group,
association and major corporate accounts and provide chain-wide business.
Property sales personnel participate in local and regional trade shows,
design local promotional and advertising campaigns and use direct
solicitation to increase room and catering sales to national and local
groups and associations.
The combined national and local sales force works to expand Red Lion's
base of profitable group business. As a result of its efforts, the number
of room nights attributable to groups has increased from 1.0 million in
1990 to approximately 1.2 million in 1995 ($93.4 million in revenues in
1995), or 33.2% of Red Lion's total room nights and 19.0% of total revenues
during 1995. In addition, catering sales personnel assisted in generating
$95.6 million in banquet-related revenues in 1995 (19.4% of total Red Lion
revenues for that period).
In addition to its own frequent guest program described below, Red
Lion is allied with other companies servicing business and leisure
travelers, including American Airlines and Alaska Airlines. Red Lion
believes these alliances provide the Company with opportunities to increase
name recognition throughout the United States and to target business
travelers with attractive national promotional programs. Members of these
programs receive miles for each qualifying stay at a Red Lion hotel. In
addition, the Company has cooperative marketing agreements with American
Express, Hertz and Southwest Airlines which allow the Company to reach a
broad cross-section of business travelers.
Red Lion's advertisements primarily target the business traveler and
are designed to enhance the consumer's awareness of the Red Lion system as
a full service, upscale hotel chain. Red Lion advertises in the regions
where its hotels are located and in certain other major metropolitan areas
where the Company believes its business customers travel frequently. Its
advertisements can be found in USA Today, US News & World Report and
industry journals.
The Company's Frequent Guest Dividends program, implemented in 1989,
distributes to participating guests upon check-out certificates redeemable
for discounts on future stays. Participation in this program has grown from
62,000 members in 1992 to 120,000 members in 1995, a 93.5% increase. In
1993, this program was supplemented with a new Frequent Guest Dividends
Gold level, which rewards the most frequent guests (limited to 5 percent of
members) with an increased level of membership benefits, including room
upgrades, conversion of awards to Alaska Airlines miles, discounts on food
purchases and rapid awards of free rooms. The improvements in this program
were recognized by InsideFlyer Magazine, a respected hospitality industry
publication, which gave the Frequent Guest Dividends program its "Rising
Star Award" in 1994.
CENTRAL RESERVATIONS SYSTEM
In 1995, Red Lion's central reservations system accounted for
approximately 32% of the Company's total business and leisure traveler room
nights. The toll-free reservation system is available to customers
throughout the United States and Canada. The reservation system provides
Red Lion's reservation agents with information about hotel locations,
available rooms and prices in order to assist customers in booking rooms.
In 1995, the Company's reservation center processed over 990,000 calls,
4
<PAGE>
contributing 722,000 reservations to the Red Lion system with a 65%
conversion ratio of calls to reservations.
In 1993, Red Lion commenced development of a new central reservations
system that will include, among other enhanced features, a direct interface
with airlines, increases in marketing database capabilities and improved
revenue management tools, including real time room inventory. Red Lion
anticipates completion and implementation of this new reservations system
in 1996 at a total cost of approximately $11 million, approximately $7.8
million of which had been spent as of December 31, 1995. Red Lion believes
that the enhancements to its central reservations system will allow the
Company to manage its room inventory more efficiently and to provide
enhanced customer service. The new system will be expandable in order to
meet the Company's increased reservations needs as it grows.
In addition, Red Lion participates in four major airline reservation
systems, American Airlines' "SABRE," United Airlines' "APOLLO," Trans World
Airlines/Delta's "WORLDSPAN" and Continental's "AMADEUS/SYSTEM ONE." These
airline reservation systems have an aggregate of approximately 385,000
computer terminals on line at approximately 111,000 locations, allowing
travel agents to book Red Lion hotel reservations when guests are making
other travel arrangements. Red Lion's system includes a direct
communications interface with major airline systems that allows immediate
confirmation numbers for reservations.
HOTEL MANAGEMENT AND CENTRALIZED SUPPORT SERVICES
Red Lion's corporate management structure and centralized support
services are designed to allow the Company to control costs and allocate
resources efficiently.
HOTEL MANAGEMENT
Each Red Lion hotel is managed by a general manager and supported by a
regional and corporate management organization. The size of each management
team and its hourly staff varies by hotel, based on the size and business
volume of a particular hotel. Management carefully monitors staffing levels
to ensure labor productivity.
Red Lion's hotel general managers have an average of over 16 years of
experience in the lodging industry, and over 90% of the managers have been
promoted from an existing position with Red Lion. Red Lion's general
managers report directly to one of four regional vice presidents. The four
regional vice presidents have an average of 19 years experience in the
lodging industry and an average of eight years of experience in their
current positions with the Company. A regional sales director and a
regional controller complete the regional support team. The regional
management teams provide management support and direction to the general
managers and their staff, coordinate communications between the properties
and the centralized support organization and assist in establishing and
administering corporate policies, procedures and standards. The Company
believes its regional management structure is a key component in Red Lion's
ability to deliver uniform product quality and service at each of its
hotels.
CORPORATE AND CENTRALIZED SUPPORT SERVICES
The Company provides each Red Lion hotel with the benefits of its
management services which are delivered by a network of experienced
executives, corporate personnel and regional managers. The Company also
provides technical assistance and training to each hotel's employees for
administrative
5
<PAGE>
operations, room and guest services, reservations, maintenance and
engineering, retail services, and human resources and benefits. Other
services provided by the Company include treasury, internal audit, credit
services, accounting, payroll, tax, legal and risk management. The Company
has several auxiliary divisions including: (i) a centralized procurement
division that allows the Company to maintain uniform quality and control
costs; (ii) a centralized systems department that supports all property and
corporate computer systems and applications, including a standardized
proprietary property management system and the Company's central
reservations system; and (iii) a construction and design department that
administers the Company's capital expenditure programs, provides design and
product expertise in selecting materials and equipment, and provides
project administration on major renovation and new construction projects.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Red Lion operates 16 hotels pursuant to management agreements under
which it is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the hotels. Ten of
the hotels are owned by the MLP and operated by the Company pursuant to a
management agreement, expiring in 2062, including all renewal options. A
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is the general partner of the MLP.
The Company's compensation under the management agreement with the MLP is
comprised of an annual base management fee equal to 3% of gross revenues of
the hotels and an annual incentive management fee. The annual incentive
management fee is a percentage of adjusted operating profit, subject to
increase if certain operating profits targets are met. Red Lion has
received incentive management fees in each year since 1989. Those fees
totaled $4.4 million and $5.4 million in 1994 and 1995, respectively.
The other six management contracts have remaining terms ranging from
two to 40 years, and an average remaining term of 16 years, including
renewal options, as of December 31, 1995. The Company's compensation under
these agreements is comprised of a base management fee (ranging from 3-4%
of gross revenues) and an incentive management fee (based on a percentage
of cash flow or operating profit). The incentive fees under these
management contracts totaled $317,000 and $309,000 in 1994 and 1995,
respectively.
JOINT VENTURES
Red Lion owns a 49.9% percentage interest in seven joint ventures,
each of which owns a Red Lion hotel. When combined with the joint venture
interests retained by the Partnership, the Company and the Partnership own
at least 50% of each of these joint ventures. Pursuant to an agreement
between the Partnership and the Company, the Company generally has the
power, in its sole discretion, to determine and prescribe the Partnership's
conduct with respect to any joint venture interests held by the
Partnership. The Company has agreed to advance the Partnership any funds
required to pay its obligations arising from the joint venture interests
held by the Partnership, which shall be repaid out of the first funds
distributed by the respective joint venture to the Partnership. The Company
and the Partnership have agreed that for a period of 60 days commencing
August 2, 1996, the Partnership will have the right to sell to the Company
those interests, excluding a 0.1% interest in one of the joint ventures,
for an aggregate of $1.3 million and cancellation of any advances made by
the Company to the Partnership with respect to such interests. If the
Partnership's joint venture interests are not sold pursuant to such right,
commencing October 10, 1996, the Company shall have the right for 60 days
to purchase such joint venture interests for the same consideration. The
Partnership has agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer such joint venture
interests, other than pursuant to the rights described above, until after
the expiration of the Company's right to purchase such interests. In
addition to the above, in December 1995 Red Lion acquired a 10% interest in
the joint venture which owns the Red Lion Hotel, Spokane City Center.
6
<PAGE>
In addition to its ownership interest in the joint ventures, Red Lion
is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the hotels owned by the
joint ventures and receives management fees for operating the hotels. Under
each joint venture agreement or separate management agreement with respect
to the joint venture, the Company's compensation is comprised of either an
annual base management fee (ranging from 3-4% of gross revenues), an annual
incentive management fee (based on a percentage of cash flow or operating
profit) or both. The Company has made significant advances to certain of
the joint ventures. Repayment of these advances receives priority
distribution from the cash flow of those joint ventures.
COMPETITION
Red Lion competes in the upscale and mid-priced sectors of the
hospitality market, depending on the communities in which its hotels are
located. In each locality there are other limited and full service
establishments that compete with the Company's hotels. Red Lion's food and
beverage operations also compete with local free standing restaurants and
lounges. There is no single competitor or small number of competitors of
Red Lion that is or are dominant in the Company's markets. However, some of
the Company's competitors have a larger network of locations and greater
financial resources than the Company. Competition in the United States
lodging industry is based generally on convenience of location, price,
range of services and guest amenities offered and quality of customer
service and overall product. Red Lion considers the location of its hotels
and the services and guest amenities provided by it to be among the most
important factors in its business. The present sites of the Company's
hotels were chosen for their convenient access to airports, major traffic
arteries, commercial centers and tourist destinations.
As part of its external growth strategy, the Company intends to pursue
a full range of expansion options, including acquisitions, joint venture
investments, leases, management contracts and new construction. The
Company's ability to make joint venture investments and acquisitions and
enter into leases is dependent upon the Company's ability to compete
successfully with other hotel operating companies and investors for
available opportunities. The Company competes for management contracts,
acquisitions and other expansion opportunities with national and regional
hospitality companies, some of which have greater name recognition,
marketing support, reservation system capacity and financial resources than
the Company, and with a variety of hotel investors, some of which have
greater resources and flexibility than the Company. The Company's failure
to compete successfully for investment opportunities or management
contracts or to attract or maintain relationships with hotel owners and
major hotel investors could adversely affect the Company's ability to
expand its portfolio of hotels. The Company's inability to implement its
external growth strategy would limit the Company's ability to grow its
revenue base.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
While many of the Company's properties have been subject to Phase I
environmental assessments (which generally provide a physical inspection
and database search but not soil or groundwater analyses), most of the
managed properties and the joint venture properties have not. Historically,
the Company has engaged consulting firms to perform Phase I environmental
assessments in connection with acquisitions or secured financings or
refinancings of properties. The Company intends to continue this practice
in the future.
Most of the Company's properties have been inspected to determine the
presence of asbestos. While asbestos-containing materials are present in
certain of the Company's properties, Red Lion believes
7
<PAGE>
that these materials have been adequately contained. The Company has
developed and implemented an operations and maintenance program that
establishes operating procedures with respect to asbestos-containing
materials at such properties.
The Company operates a service station located in Vancouver,
Washington. In addition, some of the Red Lion properties are on, adjacent
to or near properties that have contained in the past or currently contain
underground storage tanks and/or above-ground storage tanks used to store
petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Several of the
Red Lion properties have been contaminated with petroleum products from
former on-site or nearby service stations. Monitoring wells have been
installed at some of these sites. In addition, certain of the Red Lion
properties are on, adjacent to or near properties upon which others have
engaged or may in the future engage in activities that may release
petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances into the soil or
groundwater. One of the Company's hotels is located on property that was
used as a landfill. The Company is aware of some contamination in the
groundwater underlying some adjacent properties which may have resulted
from the landfill. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be
required in the future to investigate or remediate any contamination
resulting from the landfill. In addition, there can be no assurance that
there are no environmental liabilities or claims of which the Company is
unaware or that the current condition of the Red Lion properties, including
the service station, has not been or will not be affected by the historical
or current uses of such properties or the activities in the vicinity of the
Red Lion properties. Management does not believe any liability resulting
from non-compliance or other claims relating to environmental matters will
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Pursuant to the Lease, the Company will be required to indemnify the
Partnership and its affiliates for any matter arising by reason of or in
connection with the leasing, use, non-use, occupancy, management or
operation of each of the Leased Hotels prior to or during the term of the
Lease, including violations of Environmental Laws, discharges, disposals or
releases of Hazardous Materials, presence of Hazardous Materials, including
any which are the result of off-site migration onto the Leased Hotels, and
certain exposures to Hazardous Materials (as such terms are defined in the
Lease) which exist at or are released from any of the Leased Hotels prior
to or during the term of the Lease. Such indemnities will survive the
termination of the Lease. See "Item 2. Properties--The Lease." In addition,
the Company has agreed to indemnify the Partnership and its affiliates from
and against any and all liabilities, costs, losses and damages (including
without limitation interest, penalties and costs of mitigation) incurred in
connection with any environmental laws arising out of any event or
condition relating to the assets, liabilities and businesses contributed to
the Company.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1995, Red Lion employed 11,171 persons, of whom
approximately 90% were nonmanagement employees. Approximately 380 of these
employees work at the corporate headquarters. Red Lion has a career
development program managed by its Human Resources division through which
Red Lion's approximately 1,200 property level management staff receive
training to enhance opportunities for promotion within the Red Lion
organization.
Employees at two of the Company's hotels currently are represented by
a labor union. Management believes its ongoing labor relations are good.

TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS
Red Lion, Red Lion Inn and Red Lion Hotel are each registered
trademarks of the Company, which the Company considers important to its
business. Red Lion monitors use of similar names and takes appropriate
action when possible infringements occur.
In connection with the sale of Red Lion in 1985, Red Lion licensed the
use of the Red Lion trademark and central reservations system to one of the
founders of the Company for the operation of certain Red Lion hotels in
Nevada. Under the terms of the current license agreement, Red Lion licenses
its name and central reservation system for two hotels in Nevada and a
hotel in Wyoming (which are not included in the 54 hotels Red Lion
operates) for which Red Lion receives an annual license fee of $25,000 per
hotel. The license agreement terminates with respect to the hotel in
Wyoming at such time as the Company opens a hotel in the Jackson Hole area
of Wyoming and otherwise expires with respect to all of these hotels, two
years after the earlier of the death of the founder or transfer of the
founder's interests in the hotels.
The Company knows of approximately nine lodging and food service
establishments located in the United States that use "Red Lion" in their
names (some of which may have used the name before the Red Lion chain was
established), but which have no existing or historical relationship with
the Company.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
General. A number of states regulate the licensing of hotels and
restaurants, including liquor license grants, by requiring registration,
disclosure statements and compliance with specific standards of conduct.
The Company believes that each of its hotels has the necessary permits and
approvals to operate its respective business.
Americans With Disabilities Act. Under the ADA, all public
accommodations are required to meet certain federal requirements related to
access and use by disabled persons. These requirements became effective in
1992. Although Red Lion has invested significant amounts in ADA upgrades to
its properties and continues to dedicate substantial capital to these
projects, a determination that the Company is not in compliance with the
ADA could result in a judicial order requiring compliance, an imposition of
fines or an award of damages to private litigants. Red Lion is likely to
incur additional costs of complying with the ADA. The costs of compliance
are not expected to have a material effect on the Company.

THE LEASE
On August 1, 1995, the Leased Hotels were leased by the Partnership to
the Company pursuant to the Lease. The initial term of the Lease is 15
years, subject to earlier termination by the Partnership upon the
occurrence of one or more Events of Default (as defined in the Lease). In
addition, the Company has the option to extend the Lease on a
hotel-by-hotel basis for five additional five year periods on the same
terms. The Partnership's ownership interest in the Leased Hotels is subject
to the Lease.
Rental payments under the Lease consist of base rent (the "Base
Rent"), payable quarterly, and additional rent (the "Additional Rent"),
payable annually, based on growth in revenues at the Leased Hotels. The
Base Rent for all of the Leased Hotels is $15 million per year. The
Additional Rent for the Leased Hotels will be equal to 7.5% of the amount,
if any, by which the aggregate Operating Revenues (as defined in the Lease)
for all of the Leased Hotels under the Lease for the given year exceeds the
aggregate Operating Revenues at all such Leased Hotels for the twelve month
period commencing October 1, 1995. This long-term arrangement allows the
Company to retain all of the benefit from any increase in operating income
from these properties during the term of the Lease, subject to the payment
of Additional Rent.
The Partnership has retained the right to sell one or more of the
Leased Hotels to third parties, subject to the terms of the Lease. Upon any
sale of a Leased Hotel by the Partnership, the Leased Hotel would be leased
under a stand alone lease which would be modified to provide, among other
things, for a calculation of Additional Rent based on the Gross Revenues of
that Leased Hotel alone.
11
<PAGE>
The Lease is a triple net lease which requires the Company to maintain
the Leased Hotels in good condition and repair and in conformity with all
applicable legal requirements and to make or cause to be made all items of
maintenance, repair, replacement and alteration to the Leased Hotels as
necessary for such purposes. In addition, the Company is required to pay
substantially all expenses associated with the operation of the Leased
Hotels, including all ground lease expense, real estate taxes, insurance,
utilities and services. If in any year the Company fails to spend at least
3% of the aggregate annual Operating Revenues from all of the Leased Hotels
under the Lease on capital expenditures, including without limitation
renovations, at one or more of the Leased Hotels, it will be required to
deposit any shortfall into a reserve account. Any fixtures, furniture or
equipment installed and used in the Leased Hotels that are replaced during
the term of the Lease will become the property of the Company, subject to a
security interest therein granted to the Partnership. At the end of the
Lease, the Partnership will have the option to purchase any such fixtures,
furniture or equipment from the Company at their then fair market value.
The Lease provides that each of the following constitutes an Event of
Default: (i) failure to pay any monetary obligation, including Base Rent
and Additional Rent, subject to certain limited cure periods, (ii) failure
by the Company after notice to comply with any material term, covenant or
condition of the Lease, (iii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency
with respect to the Company, (iv) the liquidation or dissolution of the
Company or commencement of proceedings therefor, (v) failure by the
Company, after notice or passage of time, to vacate or discharge any levy
or attachment upon the estate or interest of the Company in any Leased
Hotel, (vi) voluntary cessation by the Company of operation of any Leased
Hotel for a certain period, except as a result of damage, destruction or a
partial or complete condemnation, (vii) default by the Company of its
obligations under the Credit Facilities and (viii) an assignment or
subletting by the Company without obtaining from the Partnership any
required consent. In addition, the Company's and the Partnership's lenders
will have, pursuant to the terms of their respective credit facilities,
certain rights to consent to any changes to the Lease, and the
Partnership's lenders will have certain rights to consent to assignments or
sublettings by the Company to third parties of hotels that are subject to
the Lease.
The Company will fully indemnify the Partnership and its affiliates
for any matter arising by reason of or in connection with the leasing, use,
non-use, occupancy, management or operation of each of the Leased Hotels
prior to or during the term of the Lease, including violations of
Environmental Laws, discharges, disposals or releases of Hazardous
Materials, presence of Hazardous Materials, including any which are the
result of off-site migration onto the Leased Hotels, and certain exposures
to Hazardous Materials (as such terms are defined in the Lease) which exist
at or are released from any of the Leased Hotels prior to or during the
term of the Lease. Such indemnities will survive the termination of the
Lease.
While Red Lion believes the terms of the Lease are fair to both
parties, those terms were not negotiated on an arms-length basis.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Red Lion is involved in various lawsuits arising in the normal course
of business. Red Lion believes that the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Not applicable.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's initial public offering of common stock (the "Offering")
commenced July 26, 1995 at a stock price of $19 per share. The common stock
is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "RL". The
following table sets forth the high and low sales prices for the Company's
common stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange for the periods
indicated.
1995
---------------------------
High Low
---- ---
3rd Quarter $24.375 $19.00
4th Quarter 21.125 15.75
At March 1, 1996, there were 31,312,500 shares of common stock
outstanding held by approximately 95 shareholders of record.
The Company intends to retain future earnings for use in its
operations and the expansion of its business and does not currently
anticipate paying any dividends on common stock. The Company's bank credit
agreement, providing for borrowings of up to $265,000,000 and expiring in
August 2002 prohibits the payment of dividends on common stock.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
SELECTED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL, HISTORICAL FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA
(in thousands, except share and statistical data)
On August 1, 1995, immediately prior to the closing of its initial
public offering (the "Offering"), the Company succeeded to the business of
Historical Red Lion through the transfer by Historical Red Lion of
substantially all of its assets (other than 17 hotels (the "Leased Hotels"),
certain minority joint venture interests and certain current assets) and
certain liabilities to the Company (the "Formation"). Immediately
thereafter, the Company repaid or refinanced substantially all of its
indebtedness with proceeds of the Offering and new borrowings (the
"Refinancing"). The pro forma financial information provided below
generally gives effect to the Formation and the Refinancing as if they had
occurred on January 1, 1994 (see Note a below) and, in particular, combines
the results of operations of Historical Red Lion for the portion of 1995
prior to the Formation with the Company's results of operations for the
portion of 1995 after the Formation to show the results of the business for
the entire year. The information set forth below should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes of the
Company and of Historical Red Lion, and Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Company
and Historical Red Lion, as well as the Pro Forma Consolidated Statements
of Income included elsewhere in this report.

(a) The pro forma financial information gives effect to the Formation and
the Refinancing as if they had occurred on January 1, 1994, except
that certain expenses resulting from the Formation and Offering
totaling $14,662 and the initial recording of estimated deferred
income tax benefits of $9,736 resulting from the Formation, all of
which were included in the Company's actual financial results for the
10 months ended December 31, 1995, are included in the 1995 pro forma
presentation. The expenses resulting from the Formation and Offering
include $13,348 for obligations under an incentive unit plan and a
supplemental income retirement agreement which were contingent upon
the completion of the Offering. The expenses resulting from the
Formation and Offering
15
<PAGE>
also include the write-off of previously recorded financing costs,
debt discount and prepayment penalties and expenses of $1,314
associated with the transfer of assets to the Company. Excluding the
nonrecurring expenses resulting from the Formation and Offering,
pro forma 1995 operating income would have been $71,261.
Excluding the impact of the nonrecurring Formation costs of $1,314,
obligations under an incentive unit plan and a supplemental
retirement agreement aggregating $13,348, and deferred income tax
benefits of $9,736, pro forma net income would have been $32,847 or
$1.05 per common share for 1995.
(b) Results of operations include five months of actual operations
subsequent to the August 1, 1995 Formation date as well as operations
of one joint venture for the period from March 1, 1995 through July
31, 1995.
(c) "Gross operating profit" represents revenues less departmental direct
and property indirect expenses. "Gross operating margin" represents
gross operating profit as a percentage of revenues. Gross operating
profit and gross operating margin are included herein because
management uses them as a measure of hotel operating performance and
because management believes these items are useful in making industry
comparisons.
(d) Effective January 1, 1993, Historical Red Lion prospectively changed
the estimated useful lives of its hotels to 40 years from lives
averaging 32 years. The effect of this change decreased depreciation
expense in 1993 by approximately $2,600. In addition, the 17 Leased
Hotels were retained by the Partnership in the Formation.
Accordingly, the pro forma data and the Company's results of
operations for the ten months ended December 31, 1995 do not include
depreciation on the Leased Hotels.
(e) Effective January 1, 1993, Historical Red Lion changed its accounting
method for measuring impairment of individual hotel properties from
using undiscounted future cash flows to discounted future cash flows.
As a result of this change, 1993 net income includes a reduction in
the carrying value of one hotel of $29,878, which is reflected in the
1993 financial statements as the cumulative effect of an accounting
change.
(f) Historical Red Lion made no provision for income taxes since taxes on
income were the responsibility of the individual partners. Pro forma
and Company income taxes are calculated at an estimated tax rate of
40%. Income taxes for 1995 pro forma and the Company's ten-month
period ended December 31, 1995 include a deferred income tax benefit
of $9,736 resulting from the tax effect of the differences between
the book and tax bases of the assets and liabilities transferred to
the Company by Historical Red Lion.
(g) Calculated on a per available room per year basis.
(h) Based on rooms occupied.

(a) On August 1, 1995, Historical Red Lion contributed substantially all
of its assets (excluding the Leased Hotels, certain minority joint
venture interests and certain current assets) and certain liabilities
to the Company in the Formation. Also effective August 1, 1995, the
Company entered into a long-term master lease with the Partnership for
the Leased Hotels. Pro forma results in the accompanying pro forma
information include the actual results of the Company and the results
of Historical Red Lion adjusted to give effect to the Formation, the
leasing of the Leased Hotels, and the repayment and refinancing of
substantially all debt with borrowings under a new credit facility and
the net proceeds of the public offering, assuming that such events
were completed on January 1, 1994, except that certain nonrecurring
expenses and tax benefits recorded in connection with the Formation
are included in the 1995 pro forma presentation.
(b) Pro forma other costs include annual lease expense of $15,000,000
associated with the Leased Hotels, offset by annual administrative
costs of $350,000 for which the Company is reimbursed by the
Partnership.
(c) Pro forma depreciation and amortization is $6.4 million and $11.5
million lower than that recorded by Historical Red Lion for the seven
months ended July 31, 1995 and the year ended December 31, 1994,
respectively, due primarily to the depreciation and amortization
associated with the Leased Hotels.
(d) The 1995 pro forma results include nonrecurring Formation costs of
$1,314,000 as well as obligations under an incentive unit plan and a
supplemental income retirement agreement aggregating $13,348,000.
These amounts were recorded by the Company subsequent to completion of
the Offering.
(e) Pro forma interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1994 reflects the effects of the Formation and Refinancing as if those
events had occurred on January 1, 1994. Accordingly, pro forma
interest expense does not include interest on debt associated with the
Leased Hotels or repaid with the proceeds of the Offering.
(f) Pro forma income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 1995,

Offering aggregating $14,662,000 and the tax benefits recorded in
connection with the net assets contributed to the Company by
Historical Red Lion, pro forma net income for the year ended December
31, 1995 would be $32,847,000 or $1.05 per share.

</TABLE>
Pro Forma 1995 Compared to Pro Forma 1994
Pro forma net income increased from $24.9 million, or $.80 per share,
in 1994, to $32.8 million, or $1.05 per share in 1995, an increase of
31.4%. Net income for 1995 reflected pre-tax expenses resulting from the
Formation and Offering totaling $14,662,000, the effects of which were
substantially offset by a deferred income tax benefit of $9,736,000. The
net negative effect of these factors on pro forma income for 1995 was
$96,000, or less than $.01 per share.
REVENUES. Pro forma revenues rose from $462.9 million in 1994 to
$492.4 million in 1995, an increase of $29.5 million, or 6.4%. The changes
in specific revenue categories are discussed below.
18
<PAGE>
Pro forma room revenues increased 7.6% to $277.2 million in 1995,
compared to $257.7 million in 1994. The increase in pro forma room revenues
was due primarily to a 6.6% increase in average daily room rate, which rose
to $75.14. Occupancy for 1995 increased from 72.1% to 72.7%.
Pro forma food and beverage revenues for 1995 increased 3.8% from
1994. The increase in pro forma food and beverage revenues was primarily
due to an increase in banquet revenues and the addition of an airport
restaurant facility which opened in late 1994.
Other pro forma revenues for 1995 rose 8.4% over 1994 due mainly to an
increase in meeting room rentals and telephone sales.
EXPENSES. Pro forma departmental direct expenses (expenses related to
a specific function such as rooms or food and beverage) increased 4.2% in
1995. However, as a percentage of revenues, pro forma departmental direct
expenses decreased from 44.5% to 43.6% primarily due to effective control
of food costs.
Pro forma property indirect expenses increased 4.4% in 1995 but
decreased modestly as a percentage of revenues. Indirect costs include
expenses related to a hotel's general operation, such as utilities, repairs
and maintenance, promotional expenses and administrative costs.
Pro forma gross operating profit (revenues less departmental direct
and property indirect expenses) rose from $157.4 million in 1994 to $173.9
million in 1995, a 10.5% increase. Pro forma gross operating profit margins
improved from 34.0% in 1994 to 35.3% in 1995, primarily due to the decrease
in departmental direct expenses as a percentage of revenues.
Pro forma other costs, which include corporate administrative and
general expenses, property taxes, insurance, leases and other miscellaneous
costs, increased 6.5% due primarily to increases in corporate
administrative and general expenses and insurance, while depreciation and
amortization fell 2.5% from 1994 to 1995.
The Company's revenues and expenses include operating revenues and
expenses of unconsolidated managed properties since the operating
responsibilities associated with those hotels are substantially the same as
those for owned hotels. Payments to owners of those hotels, net of the
Company's management fees, increased 9.5% from 1994 to 1995, primarily due
to improved operating performance of the managed properties.
Management fees in connection with the managed hotels for 1995
increased 6.7% from $10.3 million to $10.9 million. The majority of the
management fees are incentive fees related mainly to Red Lion Inns Limited
Partnership (the "MLP") (see Note 6 to the Company's financial statements),
which are determined, in part, on the basis of available cash flows. For
1995, incentive management fees increased $1.0 million.
The pro forma results for 1995 include $14.7 million of nonrecurring
costs associated with the Formation and Offering (see Note 8 to the
Company's financial statements). Such costs include approximately $13.4
million expensed in conjunction with an incentive unit plan and a
supplemental income retirement agreement. As the obligations under the plan
and the agreement were contingent upon completion of the Company's initial
public offering, no liability or related expense had been recorded by
19
<PAGE>
Historical Red Lion. In addition, the Company recognized $1.3 million of
expense in connection with refinancing the assumed debt and transferring
Historical Red Lion's assets to the Company.
Pro forma operating income decreased from $60.6 million in 1994 to
$56.6 million in 1995 due primarily to the expenses resulting from the
Formation and Offering. Excluding those expenses, pro forma operating
income would have increased $10.7 million, or 17.7%, in 1995.
Pro forma interest expense increased from $20.8 million in 1994 to
$21.8 million in 1995, an increase of 4.8%, due primarily to interest rate
increases on debt not refinanced. Interest income increased $2.3 million as
a result of interest earned on short-term investments acquired with
proceeds from the initial public offering.
Pro forma income tax expense decreased from $16.6 million in 1994 to
$7.3 million in 1995, a decrease of $9.3 million. The decrease resulted
largely from $9.7 million of deferred tax benefits recognized as a result
of a change in tax status at the Formation date as Historical Red Lion was
a partnership whose partners were responsible for its taxes. The decrease
also reflects $4.9 million of tax benefits associated with the $14.7
million in expenses resulting from the Formation and Offering. Excluding
the tax benefits resulting from the Formation and Offering and the
resultant change in tax status, the effective tax rate for 1995 would have
been 40.0%, the same effective rate as 1994.
Company for the Ten Months Ended December 31, 1995
The only operations of the Company prior to the Formation related to a
joint venture interest in one Red Lion hotel that was contributed to the
Company by Historical Red Lion in March 1995. On a historical basis, which
includes the actual operations of the Company following the August 1, 1995
Formation, the Company had net income of $15.6 million for the ten months
ended December 31, 1995. The period's net income included an income tax
benefit of approximately $9.7 million, recorded in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes," and expenses, net of income tax benefits, of approximately $9.8
million resulting from the Formation and Offering.
Historical Red Lion 1994 Compared to Historical Red Lion 1993
The comparison of operating results of Historical Red Lion for the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 is based on the actual results of
operations of Historical Red Lion as reflected in its statements of income.
Such results do not include the effects of the Formation and Refinancing.
Income before cumulative effect of accounting change increased from
$21.6 million in 1993 to $31.0 million in 1994, an increase of $9.4
million, or 43.6%.
In 1993, Historical Red Lion changed its method of measuring
impairment of individual hotel properties from using undiscounted future
cash flows to discounted cash flows, resulting in a reduction of net income
of $29.9 million, which is reflected as a cumulative effect of an
accounting change.
REVENUES. Revenues increased 5.2% from $440.0 million in 1993 to
$462.9 million in 1994. Room revenues rose $15.5 million in 1994, an
increase of 6.4%. The increase in room revenues was due to improvements in
occupancy and average daily room rate at existing hotels and an increase in
the number of available room nights. Average daily room rates rose from $67.94
in 1993 to $70.52 in 1994,
20
<PAGE>
a 3.8% increase. Occupancy improved from 70.9% in 1993 to 72.1% in 1994,
while available room nights increased 0.8% from 5,027,000 to 5,068,000.
Revenues from group business increased $5.4 million, or 6.8%, primarily due
to a 4.9% increase in group room nights. Food and beverage revenues
increased 1.9% from $156.2 million in 1993 to $159.2 million in 1994, a
year in which Historical Red Lion completed a program to reformat its
restaurants to respond to customer preferences for more casual dining and
lighter fare. Other revenues grew from $41.6 million in 1993 to $46.0
million in 1994, an increase of 10.6%. This increase was due primarily to
higher banquet-related revenues. The results for 1994 include the first
full year of operations of a managed hotel that was added to the Red Lion
system in May of 1993.
EXPENSES. Departmental direct expenses increased from $201.2 million
in 1993 to $205.8 million in 1994, an increase of 2.3%, but decreased as a
percentage of revenues from 45.7% to 44.5%. This decrease as a percentage
of revenues was due primarily to reduced labor costs resulting from higher
labor productivity and to lower food costs resulting from more centralized
purchasing.
Property indirect expenses increased 4.8% from $95.1 million in 1993
to $99.7 million in 1994. As a percentage of revenues, property indirect
expenses remained relatively constant.
Gross operating profit rose from $143.7 million in 1993 to $157.4
million in 1994, an increase of 9.6%. Gross operating margins improved from
32.6% in 1993 to 34.0% in 1994.
Other costs increased from $18.3 million in 1993 to $19.6 million in
1994, but remained relatively constant as a percentage of revenues. The
increase in other costs was attributable largely to increases in property
taxes, insurance costs and administrative expenses.
Payments due to owners of managed hotels increased $1.1 million, or
2.7% to $42.8 million in 1994. Management fees received in connection with
the managed hotels increased from $6.1 million in 1993 to $10.3 million in
1994, an increase of 67.8%. These increases were primarily due to an
increase of $3.3 million in incentive management fees due to improved
operating performance of the managed hotels.
Operating income climbed from $52.4 million in 1993 to $63.7 million
in 1994, an improvement of 21.5%, and increased as a percentage of revenues
from 11.9% to 13.8%. The increase in operating income resulted primarily
from the improvement in gross operating profit, offset by increases in
other costs, depreciation and amortization, and payments due to owners of
managed hotels.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures increased from
$1.2 million in 1993 to $1.3 million in 1994.
Interest expense, net, increased 8.9% from $30.1 million in 1993 to
$32.7 million in 1994. This increase reflects higher interest rates in
1994, partially offset by a reduction of $4.4 million in average
outstanding debt balances, an increase in average combined cash and cash
equivalents balances of $22.6 million and an increase of $9.3 million in
average short-term debt securities balances. Average combined cash and cash
equivalents balances and short-term average debt securities balances
increased as a result of borrowings under Historical Red Lion's revolving
credit line.
Losses on sale of property reflects a sale of excess land in 1993,
resulting in a $1.7 million loss.
21
<PAGE>
Income attributable to joint venturers' interests increased from $.3
million in 1993 to $1.3 million in 1994. This item reflects earnings
attributable to the interests of the joint venture partners in the five
consolidated joint venture hotels.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal source of cash is hotel operations. The
Company and Historical Red Lion historically have generated internal cash
flow to meet operating needs, make capital expenditures and reduce
outstanding debt. The Company's future debt levels may vary depending on,
among other factors, financing required to fund external growth
opportunities, the amount of cash provided by operations and debt
maturities.
The Company and Historical Red Lion have made extensive capital
expenditures over the last three years, investing $17.4 million, $22.3
million and $31.3 million in owned and joint venture properties in 1993,
1994 and 1995, respectively, excluding amounts for acquisitions and new
construction. These expenditures included guest room, lounge and restaurant
renovations, public area refurbishments, telephone and computer system
upgrades, and corporate expenditures and were funded from operating cash
flows. The Company expects 1996 capital expenditures to remain relatively
constant as a percentage of net revenues with 1995. At December 31, 1995,
commitments relating to capital improvement projects were approximately
$8.6 million. Management believes this level of capital investment will
give the company a significant competitive advantage and position it to
take advantage of the lodging industry's improving performance. As part of
its capital expenditure program, the Company budgets for costs incurred in
connection with environmental compliance at its properties. These costs
historically have not been material, and the Company does not anticipate
incurring material costs for environmental compliance in the future.
In connection with the Formation, the Company repaid the majority of
the debt contributed to the Company by Historical Red Lion with the
proceeds of the equity offering and a new $135 million seven year term
loan. The term loan bears interest at a rate that varies based on the
London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2% (8.0% at December 31,
1995). The term loan matures in 2002 and requires quarterly mandatory
prepayments totaling $5 million in the first year, $13.5 million in the
second year, $17.5 million in the third year, $20 million in each of the
fourth and fifth years, and $29.5 million in each of the sixth and seventh
years. The term loan balance at December 31, 1995 was $133.75 million. In
addition, on August 1, 1995, the Company obtained a $130 million credit
line facility of which $80 million is available for acquisitions and $50
million is available for working capital requirements. The credit line
facility has a seven year term and an interest rate that varies based on
LIBOR. As of December 31, 1995 the interest rate was 8.0% and there was no
outstanding balance. The credit facility matures in 2002 and will be
reduced by quarterly commitment reductions totaling $12.5 million per year
beginning in 1998. The $80 million available for acquisitions is
anticipated to be utilized by the Company to finance the addition of hotels
to the Red Lion chain through acquisitions, management contracts, joint
ventures or leases.
The Company believes that a combination of its existing cash and cash
equivalents, internally generated cash flows and its borrowing ability
under the credit facility will be sufficient to fund its operations and
capital outlays.

<PAGE>
SEASONALITY
The lodging industry is affected by normally recurring seasonal
patterns. At most Red Lion hotels, demand is higher in the summer and early
fall (May through October) than during the balance of the year. Demand also
changes on different days of the week, with Sunday generally having the
lowest occupancy.
INFLATION
The effect of inflation, as measured by fluctuations in the Consumer
Price Index, has not had a material impact on the Company's revenue or net
income during the periods under review.

RED LION HOTELS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Red Lion Hotels, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Red Lion" or the "Company")
is a full service hospitality company operating 54 hotels in 10 western
states. A typical Red Lion property is a full service hotel located in
close proximity to a business or commercial center, airport, major highway,
or tourist destination. Red Lion hotels target the business traveler (both
individual and group) and compete primarily in the upscale segment of the
lodging industry.
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in March 1994 as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Red Lion, a California Limited Partnership ("Historical
Red Lion"). The Company's operations commenced in March 1995 when
Historical Red Lion contributed to the Company a 49.4% interest in a joint
venture (the "Santa Barbara Joint Venture") which owns the Santa Barbara
Red Lion Hotel (the "Santa Barbara Hotel") located in Santa Barbara,
California.
The Company initiated an initial public offering of a portion of its
common stock on July 26, 1995 (the "Offering"), which closed August 1,
1995, raising net proceeds of approximately $173 million. After giving
effect to the Offering, Historical Red Lion owns approximately 67% of the
Company.
On August 1, 1995, prior to the closing of the Offering, Historical
Red Lion repaid certain of its outstanding indebtedness with existing cash
balances and contributed substantially all of its assets (excluding 17
hotels (the "Leased Hotels"), certain minority joint venture interests and
certain current assets) and certain liabilities to the Company (the
"Formation"). The Partnership (Historical Red Lion subsequent to the
Formation and refinancing of the Company) retained the Leased Hotels and
the related goodwill, deferred loan costs and mortgage debt, certain
minority joint venture interests and certain current assets.
On August 1, 1995, the Company refinanced or repaid substantially all
of the debt contributed pursuant to the Formation with the net proceeds of
the Offering, borrowings under a new term loan and existing cash (the
"Refinancing"). The Company also entered into a long-term master lease with
the Partnership for the Leased Hotels.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements reflect the contribution, at
Historical Red Lion's net book value, of the interest in the Santa Barbara
Joint Venture. Accordingly, the Santa Barbara Joint Venture has been
consolidated with the Company in the accompanying financial statements
prior to the Formation. In connection with the Formation, the other assets
and liabilities contributed by Historical Red Lion have been recorded in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements at Historical Red Lion's
net book value as of August 1, 1995. There were no operations of the
Company prior to the contribution of the Santa Barbara Joint Venture.
Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect ten
months rather than twelve months of 1995 operations, consisting of the
results of the Santa Barbara Joint Venture for ten months and the results
of the other hotels and operations contributed pursuant to the Formation
for five months.
31
<PAGE>
The Santa Barbara Joint Venture contribution did not transfer the
right to manage the operations of the Hotel to the Company. Since the right
to manage the Santa Barbara Hotel had not been transferred to the Company,
the financial statements of the Company prior to the Formation do not
include the operating revenues and expenses of the Santa Barbara Hotel or
that hotel's current assets and current liabilities. These amounts were
included in the financial statements of Historical Red Lion, which
continued to manage the Santa Barbara Hotel. The right to manage the
operations of the Santa Barbara Hotel was transferred to the Company at
Formation, and that hotel's operating revenues, expenses and current assets
and current liabilities are reflected in the consolidated financial
statements of the Company for the period from August 1, 1995 through
December 31, 1995.
The consolidated financial statements include seven joint ventures in which
the Company holds a 49.9% interest. When combined with the interests
retained by the Partnership, the Company and the Partnership own at least
50% of these joint ventures. Pursuant to an agreement between the Company
and the Partnership, the Company has the power, in its sole discretion, to
prescribe the Partnership's conduct with respect to the joint venture
interests held by the Partnership. Accordingly, the Company consolidates
the four joint ventures in which the combined interests of the Partnership
and the Company exceed 50%. The Company consolidates one of its 50% owned
joint ventures because the Company controls the joint venture through
contractual arrangements, has the majority of capital at risk through its
significant ownership percentage and has guaranteed 100% of the joint
venture's third party debt. The unconsolidated joint ventures, including
one other 10% owned joint venture, are accounted for on the equity method
of accounting.
In 1987, Historical Red Lion sold its interest in 10 hotels to Red
Lion Inns Limited Partnership, a publicly traded limited partnership (the
"MLP"). Red Lion Properties, Inc., the general partner of the MLP, was
contributed to the Company in connection with the Formation and is a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. The MLP's public limited partners have an
effective 98.01% ownership interest in the MLP's hotels with the general
partner retaining the remaining 1.99 % ownership interest. The Company
operates the MLP's hotels under a management agreement.
Operating revenues and expenses and the current assets and current
liabilities of the MLP and other management contract hotels (including the
three unconsolidated joint ventures which are also managed by the Company)
are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because
the operating responsibilities associated with these hotels are
substantially the same as those for owned hotels. The operating profit, net
of management fee income earned by the Company for managed hotels, is
recorded as an expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income. The consolidated financial statements include current assets and
current liabilities of $9,933,000 at December 31, 1995 and operating
revenues of $73,685,000 and operating expenses of $49,263,000 for the ten
months ended December 31, 1995 related to the operation of the MLP and
other management contract hotels.
One wholly owned hotel was acquired by Historical Red Lion in 1989
subject to a nonrecourse cash flow mortgage which requires interest
payments contingent on achieving certain levels of performance. Because of
the nonrecourse and cash flow nature of the loan, the mortgage has not been
recorded as an obligation and the property and equipment of the hotel are
excluded from the consolidated financial statements. The mortgage is in
substance a management contract with a purchase option. Accordingly, the
hotel is treated as a management contract in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
32
<PAGE>
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. While management endeavors to make
accurate estimates, actual results could differ from estimates.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, time
deposits, commercial paper and U.S. government and other short-term
securities with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The
carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity
of these instruments. The balance at December 31, 1995 includes commercial
paper of $6,991,000 and government obligations of $58,443,000.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are shown net of allowances for doubtful accounts
of $361,000 at December 31, 1995.
INVENTORIES
Inventories consist primarily of consumable supplies as well as food
and beverage products held for sale. Inventories are valued at the lower of
cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consist of the following at December 31, 1995
(in thousands):
Land $ 48,126
Buildings and improvements 321,940
Furnishings and equipment 122,351
Construction in progress 14,834
---------
507,251
Accumulated depreciation (170,982)
---------
$ 336,269
=========
Property and equipment are stated at Historical Red Lion's carrying
value at the date of contribution, plus additions, at cost, made subsequent
to the contribution. Additions and improvements are capitalized at cost,
including interest costs incurred during construction. Normal repairs and
maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement
of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
and amortization are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting
gain or loss, if any, is included in income.
Base stock (linens, china, silverware and glassware) is depreciated to
50% of its initial cost on a straight-line basis over three years.
Subsequent replacements are expensed when placed in service. The carrying
value of base stock is included in furnishings and equipment.
33
<PAGE>
Depreciation was computed on a straight-line basis using the following
estimated useful lives:
Building and improvements........................10 to 40 years
Furnishings and equipment........................ 5 to 15 years
INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
The Company is a partner in three joint ventures which are accounted
for on the equity method of accounting. The Company's equity in and
advances to these joint ventures are shown under the caption "investment in
and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures" in the consolidated balance
sheet. Because the Company manages these joint ventures, they are accounted
for as managed hotels and, therefore, the operating revenues, expenses, and
current assets and current liabilities of the hotels are included in the
consolidated financial statements.
Profits and losses of these joint ventures are allocated in accordance
with the joint venture agreements. The Company's share of the income or
losses of the joint ventures (after management fee income) is recorded
under the caption "equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures." If
a joint venture experiences operating losses which reduce the other joint
venture partner's equity to a zero balance, the loss which would otherwise
be attributable to the other joint venturer is absorbed within the
Company's consolidated operating results.
Summarized financial information for the unconsolidated joint
ventures, excluding the current assets and current liabilities and
operating revenues and expenses consolidated in the Company's consolidated
financial statements, is as follows as of and for the ten months ended
December 31, 1995 (in thousands and unaudited):

<PAGE>
GOODWILL
Historical Red Lion acquired interests in certain hotels, motor inns
and supporting auxiliary enterprises in 1985. Goodwill resulted from the
acquisition and represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value
of net assets acquired. Goodwill relates primarily to the hotels
contributed to the Company by Historical Red Lion and is being amortized on
a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of approximately 40
years. Amortization expense was $301,000 for the ten months ended December
31, 1995. Accumulated amortization aggregated $7,219,000 at December 31,
1995.
DEFERRED LOAN COSTS
Deferred loan costs incurred in connection with the Company's
indebtedness are included in other assets, net, and are amortized over the
life of the associated debt.
ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued expenses include the following items at December 31, 1995 (in
thousands):
Accrued payroll and related costs $ 22,253
Accrued interest 2,311
Other 12,633
--------
$ 37,197
========
OTHER LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
The Company provides for the uninsured portions of medical, property,
liability and workers compensation claims. Such costs are estimated each
year based on historical claims data relating to operations. While actual
results may vary from estimates, the Company maintains stop-loss insurance
to minimize the effect of large claims on financial results. The long-term
portion of accrued claims costs relates primarily to general liability and
workers compensation claims which are not expected to be paid within one
year and is reflected in other long-term obligations.
The Company's retirement savings plan includes a non-qualified
Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan ("SERP") designed to supplement key
employees whose benefits would otherwise be reduced due to certain
statutory limits of a 401(k) plan. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company has entered into a separate supplemental income retirement
agreement with the Company. Both of these obligations are reflected in
long-term obligations.
INCOME TAXES
The Company utilizes the liability method to account for income taxes.
Under the liability method, deferred taxes are provided for the effects of
temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of
assets and liabilities.
PROPERTY INDIRECT EXPENSES
Property indirect expenses include undistributed property expenses for
selling, general and administrative, utilities, repairs and maintenance,
and an allocation of certain corporate services (such as marketing, legal,
tax and accounting services) related to the operation of the properties.
35
<PAGE>
OTHER COSTS
Other costs include corporate administrative and general expenses,
property taxes, insurance, leases and other miscellaneous costs.
PAYMENTS DUE TO OWNERS OF MANAGED HOTELS
Payments due to owners of managed hotels is analogous to rent owed to
outside owners due to the nature of the management contracts and the
control the Company has over operations. The amounts shown in the
consolidated statement of income are net of management fee income of
$4,994,000 earned by the Company for the ten months ended December 31,
1995.
JOINT VENTURERS' INTERESTS
The Company is a partner in eight joint ventures, each of which owns a
separate hotel. The assets and liabilities of five of the eight joint
ventures are fully consolidated due to the Company's control of the
ventures. The other joint ventures are accounted for on the equity method
of accounting (see "Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures"). The
caption "joint venturers' interests" represents the net equity attributable
to the joint venturers' interests, including their share of income, losses,
distributions and contributions.
Profits and losses of each joint venture are allocated in accordance
with the joint venture agreement. If a joint venture experiences operating
losses which reduce the other joint venture partner's equity to a zero
balance, the loss which would otherwise be attributable to the other joint
venturer is absorbed within the Company's consolidated operating results.
EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCK OPTIONS
Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents have
not been included in the earnings per share calculation since their effect
is immaterial.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." The Statement establishes an alternative to the
Company's current accounting for compensation associated with stock issued
to employees and others. Management does not intend to adopt the
alternative method of measuring compensation expense related to stock
options allowed by SFAS 123. Accordingly, adoption of this statement in
1996 will only require the Company to include additional footnote
disclosure relevant to stock-based compensation in its financial
statements.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In March 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of." Management evaluates its ability to recover the recorded value of
long-lived assets such as property and equipment, goodwill, investments in
and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures, and deferred loan costs at
least annually, unless events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of
projected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount
of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized to the extent that
the carrying amount of the asset differs from its
36
<PAGE>
fair value measured on a discounted cash flow basis. No impairment losses
were recorded for the ten months ended December 31, 1995.
3. LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES
Long-term debt at December 31, 1995, consists of the following (in
thousands):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C>
Term loan, LIBOR plus 2%, 8.0% at December 31, 1995,

1999 20,114
2000 22,496
Thereafter 56,000
--------
$ 223,367
========
The Company has available a $130 million revolving credit facility
from the term loan lender which provides for a working capital line of up
to $50 million and an acquisition line of up to $80 million. The credit
facility carries a variable interest rate based on the London Interbank
Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2% (8.0% at December 31, 1995). At December
31, 1995, no amounts were outstanding under this credit facility. All debt
and credit facilities are secured by the hotels owned by the Company or by
its joint venture interests.
The Company's credit facilities contain covenants which, among other
things, prohibit the payment of cash dividends, require certain levels of
tangible net worth, and require the maintenance of debt coverage, interest
coverage, leverage, and debt-to-equity ratios. As of December 31, 1995, the
Company was in compliance with these covenants.
The Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $5,816,000 at
December 31, 1995. These letters of credit expire at various dates ranging
from June to October, 1996.
INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to
reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The agreements have
effectively converted floating rate debt, which is tied to LIBOR,
37
<PAGE>
to fixed rates. Accordingly, the net interest received or paid on the
interest rate swap is recorded as an adjustment to interest expense.
At December 31, 1995, the Company had three interest rate swap
agreements outstanding which have substantially converted $75 million of
debt from floating LIBOR based rates to fixed rates ranging from 5.19% to
5.57%. The agreements expire from September 1997 to March 1998. Interest
income earned by the Company relating to interest rate swap agreements for
the ten months ended December 31, 1995, was $214,684 and is included as an
adjustment to interest expense.
These agreements are with major commercial banks and management does
not anticipate a credit loss due to nonperformance.
4. LEASES
Certain hotels are located on leased land. Certain leases contain
rental provisions and renewal options which are based on a percentage of
revenues, changes in the Consumer Price Index or changes in property
values. All land leases extend over the remaining estimated useful lives of
the buildings situated thereon. The Company also leases certain office
space and equipment under operating leases. The Company leases 17 hotels
(Leased Hotels) from the Partnership. The Leased Hotels are leased for an
initial term of 15 years. The Company may extend the lease on a hotel-
by-hotel basis for five additional five-year periods at comparable terms.
Total land, office and equipment and Leased Hotels rent expense was
$6,676,000 for the ten months ended December 31, 1995. Future minimum
rental payments required under land, office and equipment leases and Leased
Hotels are as follows (in thousands):
1996 $ 16,163
1997 16,108
1998 15,825
1999 15,749
2000 15,765
Thereafter 160,781
--------

========
5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan for all
full time, non-union employees who have completed one year of service and
who have attained the age of 21 years. Under the 401(k) plan, the Company
contributes amounts equal to each participant's elected contributions up to
6% of eligible compensation. Pension expense under this plan was $723,000
for the ten months ended December 31, 1995.
The Company also has a non-qualified supplemental employee retirement
plan ("SERP"). The SERP was designed to complement the 401(k) plan by
restoring benefits otherwise lost by certain employees due to the statutory
limits in the 401(k) plan. The pension expense under the SERP was $80,000
for the ten months ended December 31, 1995.
In July 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Equity Participation Plan
(the "Incentive Plan") which provides for the issuance of incentive or
nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, and other awards to
key employees, officers, consultants and non-employee directors at the
discretion of the
38
<PAGE>
Compensation Committee. The vesting period is determined at the date of
grant and generally ranges from zero to five years beginning on the date of
grant. The following table summarizes stock option transactions during the
ten months ended December 31, 1995.

At December 31, 1995, there were 696,667 options exercisable and
1,064,157 shares available for grant under the Incentive Plan.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Prior to the Formation the Santa Barbara Hotel was operated and
managed by Historical Red Lion. Management fees paid to Historical Red Lion
were $385,000 for the five months ended July 31, 1995 and are included in
other costs.
At December 31, 1995, investments in and advances to unconsolidated
joint ventures includes two notes receivable from one joint venture in the
amount of $1,500,000 and $2,009,000 which bear interest at a fixed rate of
10.0% and prime plus 1.0% (9.5% at December 31, 1995), respectively. The
$1,500,000 note matures on November 21, 2003. The $2,009,000 note has an
unspecified term and is to be repaid based on cash flow available for
distribution, as defined. In addition, other assets, net, includes a note
receivable from a joint venture partner in the amount of $1,628,000. The
note bears interest at prime plus .25% times 120% (10.5% at December 31,
1995) and has an unspecified term with repayment amounts based on cash flow
available for distribution, as defined. In addition, accounts
receivable-affiliates includes $4,120,000 receivable from the management
contract hotels and other related parties other than Red Lion Inns Limited
Partnership (the "MLP").
The Company leases the Leased Hotels from the Partnership. Annual
lease payments aggregate $15,000,000. Lease expense for the period from the
Formation through December 31, 1995 totaled $6,250,000.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RED LION INNS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company serves as general partner and
owns 1.99 percent of the MLP. The general partner is responsible for
management and administration of the MLP. In accordance with the
partnership agreement, the MLP reimburses the Company for related
administrative costs.
Under a management agreement, the MLP pays base and incentive
management fees to the Company. Base management fees payable to the Company
are equal to 3% of the annual gross revenues of the MLP hotels. Incentive
management fees payable to the Company are equal to the sum of 15% of
adjusted gross operating profit up to $36 million (operating profit target)
and 25% of adjusted gross operating profit in excess of the operating
profit target. Adjusted gross operating profit is gross operating profit
less base management fees.
39
<PAGE>
Incentive management fees are only payable to the extent that cash
flow available for distributions and incentive management fees exceeds the
amount required to pay the annual priority distribution to the MLP's
limited partners. Cash flow is defined as net income (or loss) before
noncash charges (primarily depreciation and amortization) and incentive
management fees, but after the reserve for capital improvements and
principal payments on mortgage debt.
The Company also charges the MLP hotels for their pro rata share of
support services such as computer, advertising, public relations,
promotional and sales and central reservation services.
All MLP personnel are employees of the Company. All costs for services
of such employees are reimbursed to the Company by the MLP. These costs
include salaries, wages, payroll taxes and other employee benefits.
Additionally, auxiliary enterprises owned by the Company sell operating
supplies, furnishings and equipment to the MLP.
The aggregate amounts, excluding personnel related expenses, charged
by the Company to the MLP for the ten months ended December 31, 1995, under
the arrangements described above are as follows (in thousands):
Management fees $3,614
Support services 1,732
Purchases from auxiliary enterprises 6,064
General Partner administrative expenses 197
Included in the accounts receivable-affiliates and due from affiliate
is $19,078,000 at December 31, 1995, representing amounts receivable from
the MLP primarily for capital improvements funded by the Company and
Historical Red Lion which exceeded the 3% reserve established in accordance
with the provisions of the management agreement. Such amounts are presented
net of working capital related to the managed MLP hotels of $2,194,000 as
of December 31, 1995. The current balance of $2,823,000 is included in
accounts receivable-affiliates. The remaining balance of $16,255,000 is
classified as due from affiliate. Amounts receivable from the MLP earn
interest at the rate of prime plus 0.5% (9.0% at December 31, 1995).
Accounts receivable-affiliates and due from affiliate also include
advances to and deferred incentive management fees receivable from the MLP.
A total of $3,726,000 was advanced to the MLP to fund distributions during
the first 36 months of the MLP's operations. The advance is non-interest
bearing, has an unspecified term and is to be repaid out of available cash
flow or refinancing proceeds. Additionally, non-interest bearing deferred
incentive management fees receivable of $6,000,000 were contributed to the
Company in the Formation. Based on the MLP's cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1995, $353,000 of such fees will be received by the Company
during 1996 and is reflected as a portion of accounts
receivable-affiliates. Additionally, it is anticipated that approximately
$4,800,000 will be repaid to the Company in April 1996 out of the planned
refinancing of MLP long-term debt, and this amount is also reflected in
accounts receivable-affiliates. The remaining balance is classified as due
from affiliate. Accordingly, due from affiliate includes total non-interest
bearing receivables from the MLP of $4,573,000.
Summarized income statement information for the MLP from August 1
through December 31, 1995, is as follows (in thousands and unaudited):
40
<PAGE>
Revenues $ 16,884
=======
Net income $ 2,364
=======
Revenues of the MLP represent the gross operating profit (operating
revenues less operating expenses) of the MLP hotels as this amount is
similar to gross rent received from the Company to manage the hotels. As
discussed in Note 1, the operating revenues and expenses of the MLP hotels
are consolidated. Consolidation of the operating revenues and expenses of
the MLP does not affect the Company's cash flow or net income except to the
extent that management fees were earned.

8. EXPENSES RESULTING FROM THE FORMATION AND OFFERING
Expenses resulting from the Formation and Offering include certain
Formation costs of $1,314,000 and expenses resulting from the Offering of
$11,348,000 and $2,000,000 related to the termination of an incentive unit
plan and assumption of the obligation of a supplemental income retirement
agreement, respectively.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At December 31, 1995, the Company had commitments relating to capital
improvement projects aggregating approximately $8,517,000.
In connection with the Formation, the Company agreed to indemnify the
Partnership with respect to any potential obligations arising out of the
transfer to the Company of certain assets and the assumption of certain
liabilities. Management is not aware of any such obligations.
Beginning August 2, 1996, for a period of 60 days, the Partnership has
the option to require the Company to purchase its retained joint venture
interests for $1,290,000.

The Company is party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, these actions will not have a
material adverse effect, if any, on the Company's financial position,
results of operations or liquidity.
10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments, and
the methods and assumptions used to estimate such fair values, are as
follows (in thousands):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Carrying Estimated
Amount Fair Value
------ ----------
<S> <C> <C>
Accounts receivable-affiliate (Note 6) $ 12,096 $ 11,990
Due from affiliate (Note 6) 20,828 20,080
Long-term debt (223,367) (223,367)
Interest rate swaps -- 24
</TABLE>
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other long-term obligations is a
reasonable approximation of their fair value.
The carrying value of accounts receivable-affiliate approximates fair
value due to the short-term nature of the receivable. The carrying value of
due from affiliate includes non-interest bearing receivables aggregating
$4,573,000, as discussed in Note 6. The fair value of due from affiliate is
determined using estimated rates for similar notes, based on anticipated
repayment dates. Based on borrowing rates currently quoted by financial
institutions for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities, the
carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value.
11. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED)
The quarterly results of the Company are not comparable since the
quarter ended June 30, 1995 only includes the operations of one joint
venture contributed by Historical Red Lion in March 1995. The quarter ended
September 30, 1995 includes the operations of that joint venture for the
quarter as well as the results of the Company subsequent to the Formation.
The quarter ended December 31, 1995 was the first full quarter of
operations subsequent to the Formation. Summarized quarterly financial data
are as follows (in thousands, except share amounts, room and occupancy
statistics):

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 8, 1996, three of the Company's hotels were evacuated due
to flooding in northwestern Oregon and southwestern Washington. Two of the
hotels were damaged by flood waters, have reopened and are undergoing
repair. As the Company maintains flood and business interruption insurance,
management does not believe the ultimate outcome will have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the
Company.

HISTORICAL RED LION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Organization
Red Lion, a California Limited Partnership ("Historical Red Lion"),
acquired interests in certain hotels, motor inns and supporting auxiliary
enterprises on April 10, 1985, which were previously operating as Red Lion
Inns and Thunderbird Motor Inns. One of the previous principal owners
contributed his ownership interests in exchange for a limited partnership
interest in Historical Red Lion.
On April 14, 1987, Historical Red Lion sold its interest in 10 hotels
to Red Lion Inns Limited Partnership, a publicly traded limited partnership
(the "MLP"). Red Lion Properties, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Historical Red Lion, is the general partner of the MLP. Since completion of
this sale, the MLP's limited partners have had an effective 98.01%
ownership interest in the hotels with the general partner retaining the
remaining 1.99% ownership interest. Historical Red Lion operates the MLP's
hotels under a management agreement.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Historical
Red Lion, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and five of its seven partially
owned joint ventures. Historical Red Lion consolidates those entities which
it controls. Historical Red Lion is the managing general partner, controls
and owns 75 percent, 66.67 percent, 66.67 percent, 51 percent and 50
percent of the joint venture interests of the five consolidated joint
ventures. Through February 1995, Historical Red Lion consolidated one
of its 50 percent owned joint ventures because Historical Red Lion
controlled the joint venture through contractual arrangements, had the
majority of capital at risk through its significant ownership percentage
and had guaranteed 100 percent of the joint venture's third party debt.
That joint venture interest was contributed to Red Lion Hotels, Inc. in
March 1995. The remaining two joint ventures are accounted for using the
equity method of accounting. Each of the seven joint ventures is a single
purpose venture whose only business is the operation of one Red Lion hotel.
Operating revenues and expenses and the working capital of the MLP and
other management contract hotels (including the two unconsolidated joint
ventures which are also managed by Historical Red Lion) are included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements because the operating
responsibilities associated with these hotels are substantially the same as
those for owned hotels. The operating profit net of management fee income
for managed hotels is recorded as an expense in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations. The consolidated financial
statements also include the following amounts related to managed hotels
(including the two unconsolidated joint ventures which are also managed by
Historical Red Lion): current assets and current liabilities of $8,121,000
at December 31, 1994; operating revenues of $155,668,000, $166,283,000 and
$110,684,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 and for the
seven month period ended July 31, 1995, respectively; and operating
expenses of $107,801,000, $113,131,000 and $72,216,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1994 and for the seven month period ended July 31,
1995, respectively.
52
<PAGE>
One wholly-owned hotel was acquired in 1989 subject to a non-recourse
cash-flow mortgage which requires interest payments contingent on achieving
certain levels of performance. Because of the non-recourse and cash flow
nature of the loan, the mortgage has not been recorded as an obligation and
the property and equipment of the hotel are excluded from the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. The mortgage is in substance a
management contract with a purchase option. Accordingly, the hotel is
treated as a management contract in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks,
certificates of deposit, time deposits and U.S. government and other
short-term securities with maturities of three months or less when
purchased. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short
term maturity of these instruments.
Short-Term Debt Securities
Short-term debt securities include treasury bills, commercial paper
and other short-term debt securities with maturities greater than three
months when purchased. All of these securities mature within ten months
from December 31, 1994. As the securities are actively traded, Historical
Red Lion has classified these investments as trading securities and these
securities are recorded at market which approximated cost at December 31,
1994.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are shown net of allowances for doubtful accounts
of $357,000 at December 31, 1994 and approximate fair value.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of consumable supplies as well as food
and beverage products held for sale. Inventories are valued at the lower of
cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consist of the following at December 31, 1994
(in thousands):
Land $ 70,579
Buildings and improvements 500,922
Furnishings and equipment 183,506
Construction in progress 7,878
-------
762,885
Less allowance for depreciation
and amortization (248,078)
-------
$514,807
=======
Additions and improvements are capitalized at cost, including interest
costs incurred during construction. There was no capitalized interest
during the seven month period ended July 31, 1995, or
53
<PAGE>
during each of the two years ended December 31, 1994. Normal repairs and
maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement
of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
and amortization are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting
gain or loss, if any, is included in income.
Base stock (linens, china, silverware and glassware) is depreciated to
50% of its initial cost on a straight-line basis over three years.
Subsequent replacements are expensed when placed in service. The carrying
value of base stock is included in furnishings and equipment as noted
above.
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment were computed
on a straight-line basis using the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 40 years
Improvements 10-15 years
Furnishings and equipment 3-15 years
Effective January 1, 1993, Historical Red Lion prospectively changed
the estimated useful lives of its buildings to 40 years from lives
averaging 32 years. The change was made to align building lives with actual
experience and common industry practice. The effect of the change was to
decrease depreciation expense for 1993 by approximately $2,600,000.
Effective January 1, 1993, Historical Red Lion changed its accounting
method for measuring impairment of hotel properties from using undiscounted
future cash flows to discounted future cash flows. Historical Red Lion made
this change as they believe this is a preferable method of measuring
impairment of hotel properties. As a result of this change, the 1993
consolidated financial statements include a reduction in the carrying value
of one hotel of $29,878,000 reflected as a cumulative effect of accounting
change in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1993. The reduction in depreciation expense as a
result of this change was $994,000 in 1993.
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture
Historical Red Lion is a partner in two joint ventures which are
accounted for on the equity method of accounting. Historical Red Lion's
equity in and advances to these joint ventures are shown under the caption
"investment in unconsolidated joint ventures" in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. Because Historical Red Lion manages these
joint ventures, they are accounted for as managed hotels and therefore the
operating working capital of the hotels are consolidated in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Profits and losses of these joint ventures are allocated in accordance
with the joint venture agreements. Because the hotels are accounted for as
managed hotels, the operating revenues and expenses are consolidated in the
accompanying statements of operations with Historical Red Lion's share of
the income or losses of the joint ventures (after management fee income)
recorded under the caption "equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint
ventures." If a joint venture experiences operating losses which reduce the
other joint venture partner's equity to a zero balance, the loss which
would otherwise be attributable to the other joint venturers is absorbed
within Historical Red Lion's consolidated operating results.
54
<PAGE>
Summarized financial information for the unconsolidated joint
ventures, excluding the working capital and operating revenues and expenses
which are consolidated in Historical Red Lion's consolidated financial
statements, is as follows (in thousands and unaudited):

</TABLE>
Goodwill
Goodwill resulted from the April 10, 1985 acquisition and represents
the excess of purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and
is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Accumulated
amortization was $11,177,000 at December 31, 1994. Management evaluates its
accounting for goodwill impairment, considering such factors as historical
and future profitability, annually, or more frequently when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may
not be recoverable. To perform that review, the Company estimates the sum
of expected future discounted cash flows from operating activities. If the
estimated net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of goodwill, the
Company will recognize an impairment loss in an amount necessary to write
down goodwill to a fair value as determined from expected future discounted
cash flows. Management believes that the goodwill at December 31, 1994 is
realizable and the amortization period is appropriate.
Deferred Loan Costs
Deferred loan costs are included in other assets, net and represent
prepaid mortgage financing fees which are amortized over the life of the
associated mortgages.
55
<PAGE>
Other Assets
Other assets include approximately $2.7 million of costs incurred
through December 31, 1994 related to the initial public offering. This
amount was contributed to Red Lion Hotels, Inc. and netted against the
proceeds of such initial public offering.
Accrued Expenses
Accrued expenses include the following items at December 31, 1994 (in
thousands):
Accrued payroll and related costs $ 20,682
Accrued interest 2,676
Other 9,649
-------
$ 33,007
=======
Insurance Reserves
Historical Red Lion provides for the uninsured costs of medical,
property, liability and workers compensation claims. Such costs are
estimated each year based on historical claim data relating to operations
conducted through December 31, 1994. The long-term portion of accrued
claims costs relate primarily to general liability and workers compensation
claims and are reflected in other long-term obligations in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes
Historical Red Lion is a limited partnership. Accordingly, no
provision is made for income taxes as taxes on income are the
responsibility of the partners. The allocation of taxable income or loss
and depreciation expense to each partner is based on the terms of the
partnership agreement.
Property Indirect Expenses
Property indirect expenses include undistributed property expenses for
selling, general and administrative, utilities, repairs and maintenance,
and an allocation of certain corporate services (such as marketing, legal,
tax and accounting services) related to the operation of the properties.
Other Costs
Other costs include corporate administrative and general expenses,
property taxes, insurance, leases and other miscellaneous costs.
Payments Due to Owners of Managed Hotels
"Payments due to owners of managed hotels" is analogous to rent owed
to outside owners due to the nature of the management contracts and the
control Historical Red Lion has over operations. The amounts shown on the
statements of operations are net of management fee income of $6,145,000 and
$10,311,000 for 1993 and 1994, respectively, and $6,395,000 for the seven
month period ended July 31, 1995.
56
<PAGE>
Joint Venturers' Interests
Historical Red Lion is a partner in seven joint ventures, each of
which owns a separate hotel. The assets and liabilities of five of the
seven joint ventures are fully consolidated in the accompanying financial
statements. The other joint ventures are accounted for on the equity method
of accounting (see Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures above). The
assets and liabilities attributable to joint venturers' interests existing
at the date of the April 10, 1985 acquisition were valued at historical
amounts and were not revalued to reflect appraised values at that date. The
caption "joint venturers' interests" represents the net equity attributable
to the joint venturers' interests, including their share of income, losses,
distributions and contributions.
Profits and losses of each joint venture are allocated in accordance
with the joint venture agreement. If a joint venture experiences operating
losses which reduce the other joint venture partner's equity to a zero
balance, the loss which would otherwise be attributable to the other joint
venturer is absorbed within Historical Red Lion's consolidated operating
results.
Prior Year Restatements
In 1994, Historical Red Lion retroactively changed two of its
accounting principles for all years presented in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements as follows:
- In prior years, Historical Red Lion generally absorbed losses
attributable to other joint venturers' interests once the equity of the
other joint venturer was reduced to zero. However, certain distributions
and losses attributable to other joint venturers' interests were not
absorbed by Historical Red Lion if such amounts were deemed recoverable
from the fair value of the joint ventures' assets. Accordingly, these
distributions and losses were reflected as joint ventures' interests in the
consolidated balance sheets. In 1994, Historical Red Lion has changed its
accounting policy to absorb all losses and distributions to outside joint
venturers once the partners' equity has been reduced to zero. Historical
Red Lion changed its accounting policy for joint ventures' interest to more
closely align with the accounting treatment discussed in Emerging Issues
Task Force No. 94-2 issued in 1994. This change decreased income before
cumulative effect of accounting change by $515,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1993. The change also increased accumulated deficit at
December 31, 1991 by approximately $11.8 million.
- - - - Two of Historical Red Lion's 50 percent owned joint ventures, which
had been previously consolidated, are now accounted for on the equity
method. Historical Red Lion's five other joint ventures continue to be
consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. There was no
effect of this change on net income or partners' equity in any year.
Prior Year Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to
current year presentation.

1998 46,992

Thereafter 1,206
-------
$497,302
=======
The current portion of long-term debt at December 31, 1994 includes
$87 million related to balloon payments on four mortgages which are due in
1995. Management believes that these maturities can be satisfied from
existing or future financing resources.
Loan Extension Options
The above presentation of principal payments due for each of the five
years subsequent to December 31, 1994 and thereafter reflects Historical
Red Lion's plan to exercise certain options under the existing loan
agreements to extend the due dates of various loans.
Revolving Credit Lines and Term Loan
At December 31, 1993, Historical Red Lion had two revolving credit
line facilities, with a combined total amount available of $105 million, of
which $32,218,000 was outstanding, including amounts due under the cash
management system.
Historical Red Lion's primary credit agreement provided a $100 million
three-year revolving credit line with variable interest rates that varied,
at Historical Red Lion's option, on the bank's prime rate, certificate of
deposit rate or the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR). The weighted
average interest rate for 1993 was 5.4%, with the rate at December 31,
1993, equal to 5.3%. At December 31, 1993, $26 million was outstanding
under this line.
58
<PAGE>
The credit agreement, with the same interest rate options, converted
to a three-year term loan on September 1, 1994. At December 31, 1994, $98
million was outstanding under this term loan. Quarterly principal payments,
equal to 2% of the term loan balance as of September 1, 1994, will be
required through 1997 at which time the remaining principal balance will be
due and payable. The weighted average interest rate for 1994 was 6.92% with
the rate at December 31, 1994 equal to 8.06%. Historical Red Lion must
maintain, among other things, certain financial covenants over the term of
the loan. As of December 31, 1994, Historical Red Lion was in compliance
with these covenants.
Historical Red Lion also had a $5 million line of credit which was
terminated in 1994.
Historical Red Lion had outstanding letters of credit of $10,762,000
at December 31, 1994. These letters of credit are unsecured.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
Historical Red Lion enters into interest rate swap agreements in order
to lessen its exposure to interest rate changes. The agreements have
effectively converted floating rate debt, which is tied to LIBOR, to fixed
rates. The interest cost relating to interest rate swap agreements for the
years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 was $1,345,000 and $743,000,
respectively, and interest income for the seven months ended July 31, 1995
was $353,000.
At December 31, 1994, Historical Red Lion had three interest rate swap
agreements outstanding which have substantially converted $75 million of
debt from floating LIBOR based rates to all-in fixed rates ranging from
7.01% to 7.39% in 1994. The terms of the agreements range from four and one
half to five years.
These agreements are with major commercial banks and the exposure to a
credit loss in the event of non-performance by the banks is minimal.
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Based on the borrowing rates currently quoted by financial
institutions for bank loans with terms and maturities similar to Historical
Red Lion's long-term debt, the carrying value of such debt approximates its
fair value. Based on quotes obtained from dealers, Historical Red Lion
would have had a gain of approximately $5,375,000 to settle the interest
rate swap agreements at December 31, 1994.
3. LEASES:
Certain Historical Red Lion hotels are located on leased land. Two of
these leases contain rental provisions which are based on a percentage of
revenues. All land leases extend over the remaining useful lives of the
buildings situated thereon. Historical Red Lion also leases certain office
space and equipment under operating leases. Total land, office and
equipment rent expense was $1,252,000 and $1,350,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively and $961,000 for the seven months
ended July 31, 1995.

4. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
Historical Red Lion has a defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan
for all full time, non-union employees who have completed one year of
service and who have attained the age of 21 years.
Under the 401(k) plan, Historical Red Lion contributes amounts equal
to each participants' elected contributions up to 6% of eligible
compensation. Pension expense under this plan was $1,670,000 and $1,758,000
for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively, and
$1,338,000 for the seven months ended July 31, 1995.
Historical Red Lion also has a non-qualified supplemental employee
retirement plan ("SERP"). The SERP was designed to complement the 401(k)
plan by restoring participants' benefits otherwise lost by certain
employees due to the statutory limits in the 401(k) plan. The pension
expense under the SERP was $287,000 and $322,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively and $126,000 for the seven months
ended July 31, 1995.
Certain management employees are participants in an incentive unit
plan. Participation units are awarded at the discretion of Historical Red
Lion's general partner. No units have been awarded since 1991. Awarded
units vest five years after the award date and are payable five years after
vesting, and earlier under certain circumstances. Unit values are
determined by various formulas tied to cash flow, as defined, and
appreciation in value of Historical Red Lion and partners' equity. No
accrual for this plan was required for the years ended December 31, 1993 or
1994, or the seven month period ended July 31, 1995.
The Chief Executive Officer of Historical Red Lion has an incentive
compensation agreement, the value of which is tied to the increase, if any,
in the value of Historical Red Lion's partners' equity. No accrual for this
agreement was required for the years ended December 31, 1993 or 1994, or
the seven month period ended July 31, 1995.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
At December 31, 1994, Historical Red Lion had commitments, relating to
capital improvement projects, of $7,994,000.
Historical Red Lion is party to litigation arising in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, these actions will not
have a material adverse effect, if any, on Historical Red Lion's financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.
60
<PAGE>
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
At December 31, 1994 other assets, net, include $1,483,000 of interest
bearing notes receivable from a joint venturer.
Other significant related party transactions are discussed in Notes 1
and 7.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH RED LION INNS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:
As discussed in Note 1, Red Lion Properties, Inc. ("Properties"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Historical Red Lion, serves as general partner
and owns 1.99% of the MLP.
Historical Red Lion manages the MLP hotels pursuant to a management
agreement and receives a base management fee equal to 3% of annual gross
revenues plus an incentive management fee based on adjusted gross operating
profit, as defined in the management agreement. The management agreement,
which began in 1987, has a seventy-five year term including renewal
options. Historical Red Lion also charges the MLP hotels for their pro rata
share of support services such as computer, advertising, public relations,
promotional and sales and central reservation services.
All the MLP personnel are employees of Historical Red Lion and its
affiliates. Additionally, auxiliary enterprises owned by Historical Red
Lion sell operating supplies, furnishings and equipment to the MLP. In the
opinion of management, sales to the MLP by the auxiliary enterprises were
made at prices and terms which approximate arms-length transactions.
The aggregate amounts, excluding personnel related expenses, charged
to the MLP under the arrangements described above were as follows (in
thousands):
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
Incentive management fees are subordinate to distributions by the MLP
to facilitate current payment of distributions to the limited partners. The
subordinated fees accrue without interest up to a maximum amount of $6
million. This ceiling was reached in 1988 and, because management does not
anticipate it will be paid during 1995, such amount has been classified as
non-current under the caption other assets, net, in the consolidated
balance sheet at December 31, 1994.
At December 31, 1994, other assets, net, include $3,726,000 which
Properties advanced to the MLP under a $4 million credit facility made
available to facilitate cash distributions to partners during the MLP's
first 36 months of operations. The amount outstanding under this facility
will be repaid to Historical Red Lion out of either (i) cash flow after
payment of priority distributions and incentive management fees, or (ii)
sale or refinancing proceeds prior to any distribution to limited partners.
In addition to the incentive management fee and general partner loan
discussed above, Historical Red Lion was due $13,482,000 from the MLP for
services, payroll funding and capital expenditure

similar to gross rent received from Historical Red Lion to manage the
hotels. As discussed in Note 1, the operating revenues and expenses of the
MLP hotels are consolidated in Historical Red Lion's consolidated financial
statements.
Consolidation of the operating revenues and expenses of the MLP does
not affect Historical Red Lion's cash flow or net income except to the
extent that management fees were paid.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
On August 1, 1995, Historical Red Lion contributed substantially all
of its assets (excluding 17 hotels (the "Leased Hotels"), certain minority
joint venture interests and certain current assets) and certain liabilities
to Red Lion Hotels, Inc. ("RLHI") in exchange for 20,899,900 shares of
RLHI's common stock. An additional 10,062,500 shares of RLHI's common stock
were sold to the public at the August 1, 1995 closing of RLHI's initial public
offering, raising net proceeds of $173,388,000.
Also on August 1, 1995, Historical Red Lion paid $50,052,000 of the
remaining indebtedness and contributed the Leased Hotels and the remaining
related debt to a new partnership wholly-owned by Historical Red Lion. Such
debt, aggregating approximately $91,136,000, was repaid with proceeds from
a $97,500,000 refinancing of the Leased Hotels.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Income for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 present in the "The Company Pro
Forma" columns the results of operations of the Company as if the Formation
and Refinancing had been completed on January 1, 1994, except that certain
expenses resulting from the Formation and Offering totaling $14,662,000 and
the initial recording of estimated deferred income tax benefits of $9,736,000
resulting from the Formation, all of which were included in the Company's
actual financial results for the 10 months ended December 31, 1995, are
included in the 1995 pro forma presentation. The adjustments required to
reflect the Formation and Refinancing are set forth in the "Pro Forma
Adjustments" columns and are discussed in the accompanying notes. The pro
forma financial data of the Company are presented for informational
purposes only and may not reflect what would have been the Company's future
results of operations had such transactions occurred as of the dates
indicated.
The Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended
December 31, 1995 presents the results of Historical Red Lion for the seven
months ended July 31, 1995 and the results of the Company for the ten
months ended December 31, 1995, adjusted for the effects of the Formation
and Refinancing. Ten months of Company operations are included as those
operations reflect an interest in a joint venture contributed by Historical
Red Lion in March 1995 (and thereby excluded from Historical Red Lion's
operating results for the seven months ended July 31, 1995), as well as
results of the Company subsequent to the Formation and Refinancing. The Pro
Forma Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31,
1994, presents the results of Historical Red Lion for the year ended
December 31, 1994, adjusted for the effects of the Formation and
Refinancing.
The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Income and the
related notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
of the Company as of December 31, 1995 and for the ten months then ended
and of Historical Red Lion for the seven months ended July 31, 1995 and the
year ended December 31, 1994.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (IN THOUSANDS)
The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended
December 31, 1995 present the results of Historical Red Lion for the seven
months ended July 31, 1995 and the actual results of operations of the
Company for the ten months ended December 31, 1995, adjusted for the
effects of the Formation and Refinancing. Ten months of Company operations
are included as those operations reflect an interest in a joint venture
property contributed by Historical Red Lion in March 1995 (and thereby
excluded from Historical Red Lion's operating results for the seven months
ended July 31, 1995), as well as the results of the Company subsequent to
the Formation and Refinancing. The amounts are presented as if the
Formation and Refinancing had occurred on January 1, 1994, except that
certain expenses resulting from the Formation and Offering totaling
$14,662 and the initial recording of estimated deferred income tax benefits
of $9,736 resulting from the Formation, all of which were included in the
Company's actual financial results for the 10 months ended December 31,
1995, are included in the 1995 pro forma presentation.
The 1995 pro forma financial data includes amounts for obligations
under the incentive unit plan and supplemental income retirement agreement
which were contingent upon the completion of the Company's initial public
offering ("the Offering"). These amounts were $13,348 in the aggregate and
were recorded as operating expenses by the Company after the closing of the
Offering. The 1995 pro forma financial data also includes the initial
recording of estimated deferred income tax benefits of $9,736 associated
with the change in tax status, and the write-off of previously recorded
financing costs, debt discount and prepayment penalties and expenses
associated with the transfer of assets to the Company of $1,314. These
amounts were also recorded by the Company subsequent to the closing of the
Offering.
Excluding the effect of the nonrecurring Formation costs of $1,314 and
the obligations under an incentive unit plan and a supplemental retirement
agreement aggregating $13,348, pro forma operating income and income before
income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1995 would have increased by
$14,662, resulting in pro forma operating income and income before income
taxes of $71,261 and $54,740, respectively. As a result, pro forma net
income would have been $42,583, an increase of $9,832, or $0.31 per share.
Excluding the estimated deferred income tax benefits of $9,736, pro forma
net income would have decreased by $9,736, or $0.31 per share. When
combined with the amounts related to Formation costs and the obligations
under the incentive unit plan and supplemental income retirement agreement,
income would have been $32,847, resulting in pro forma earnings per common
share of $1.05.
The 1994 pro forma financial data does not include amounts related to
Formation costs of $1,314, the aggregate obligations under the incentive
unit plan and supplemental income retirement agreement of $13,348, or the
estimated deferred income tax benefits of $9,736, which were recorded by
the Company subsequent to completion of the Offering.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 are presented for informational
purposes only and may not reflect the Company's future results of
operations or what the results of operations would have been had such
transactions occurred as of the dates indicated.

<PAGE>
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. A pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 is not
presented as it would be identical to the Company's consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 1995.
Capitalized terms have the same meaning as defined in the Company's
financial statements as of and for the ten months ended December 31, 1995.
2. FORMATION AND REFINANCING
Historical Red Lion contributed substantially all of its assets
(excluding 17 Leased Hotels, certain minority joint venture interests and
certain current assets), and certain liabilities to the Company pursuant to
a contribution agreement (the "Formation"). The Company leases the Leased
Hotels from the Partnership. Immediately subsequent to the initial public
offering, the Company refinanced or repaid substantially all of its
indebtedness and certain indebtedness of joint venture properties with the
net proceeds of the offering, borrowings under a term loan facility, and
existing cash (the "Refinancing").
3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The pro forma adjustments to the consolidated statements of income are
detailed below:
(a) Reflects the only operations of the Company prior to the Formation,
which were related to earnings from a joint venture interest in one
Red Lion Hotel that was contributed to the Company by Historical Red
Lion in March 1995. The operating revenue and expenses of the joint
venture were included in the operating results of Historical Red Lion
for the seven months ended July 31, 1995, as Historical Red Lion
retained management of the joint venture during that same period.
Accordingly, the operating profit from the joint venture was reflected
as "Payments due to owners of managed hotels" in the consolidated
statement of income of Historical Red Lion for the seven months ended
July 31, 1995, and as other revenues in the Company's consolidated
statement of income for the ten months ended December 31, 1995. The
pro forma adjustment eliminates the operating profit remitted to the
Company by Historical Red Lion.
(b) Net adjustment to reflect the following (in thousands):

</TABLE>
Pro forma interest on the term loan was calculated using an assumed
7.75% interest rate. This assumed interest rate was based on the one month
London Interbank Offering Rate as of May 31, 1995 plus 2% (8.08%), adjusted
by existing interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $75.0
million contributed to the Company.
(e) Adjustment reflects loss attributable to the interest in consolidated
joint ventures retained by the Partnership.
(f) Adjustment to record the income tax expense associated with operating
as a corporation using an income tax rate of approximately 40%.
(g) Based on 31,312,500 shares of common stock issued in the offering. A
separate supplemental earnings per common share giving effect to the
number of shares of common stock which would be required to be issued
to replace the equity of the net assets retained by the Partnership,
instead of the number of shares to be issued in the Offering, has not
been presented since it is not materially different from the pro forma
earnings per share as shown.

RED LION
SUPPLEMENTAL EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN
July 1, 1989
(As Amended Through Amendment No. 3)
Red Lion Hotels, Inc.
a Delaware corporation
4001 Main Street
PO Box 1027
Vancouver, WA 98666 Company
1. Purposes; Administration; Plan Year
1.1 The Company adopts this plan to provide retirement
benefits to eligible employees in addition to the benefits
provided by the Employee Retirement Savings Plan (the "Savings
Plan"), the Company's tax qualified profit sharing plan, which
includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. If the Company sells
substantially all of its assets and the buyer assumes all of the
Company's obligations under this plan, the Company shall be
released from those obligations.
1.2 The plan shall be administered by an Administrative
Committee (the "Committee") of one or more persons appointed by
the managing general partner of the Company. The Committee shall
interpret the plan, determine eligibility and the amount of
benefits, maintain records, determine earnings rates and
generally be responsible for seeing that the purposes of the plan
are accomplished. The Committee may delegate all or part of its
administrative duties to others.
1.3 The plan year shall be the calendar year starting
January 1 and ending December 31, except the period from July 1,
1989 to December 31, 1989 shall be an initial short plan year.
2. Eligibility; Participation
2.1 Subject to 2.2, an employee shall participate as
follows:
(a) Participation in elective deferrals
under 3.1 shall commence with the first pay
period after hire, subject to enrollment
procedures of the Committee.
<PAGE>
(b) Participation in Company contributions
under 3.3 shall commence on the entry date the
employee becomes eligible for participation in
the Company's Employee Retirement Savings Plan.
If the entry date is not a January 1, the
contribution in 3.3(a) shall be based on
compensation payable from the entry date to the
end of the plan year in excess of the
contribution and benefit base for a full year.
2.2 A management employee of the Company shall be
eligible to participate in the plan for any plan year for which
the employee is a highly compensated employee as defined for
purposes of discrimination testing in the Savings Plan. Upon
first becoming eligible, an employee shall enroll for
participation by completing a Statement of Participation on a
form provided by the Committee.
2.3 A person having an Account under the plan shall be
referred to as a participant. A participant who loses
eligibility for a plan year as a result of not being a highly
compensated employee for such year under the Savings Plan shall
continue to have an Account in the plan, but no contributions
shall be made under Section 3 for such year.
3. Contributions
3.1 Subject to 3.4, for each plan year, a portion of a
participant's salary and bonus for the year shall be deferred as
follows. For the period after hire before the participant is
eligible to make elective contributions under the Savings Plan,
the amount deferred shall be a percentage of compensation elected
by the participant, up to the maximum percentage allowed by the
Savings Plan. For the period after the participant is eligible
under the Savings Plan, the amount deferred shall be the excess
(if any) for the plan year of (a) over (b) below:
(a) The participant's elective
contributions under the Savings Plan based on
the percentage of compensation elected by the
participant up to the maximum percentage allowed
by the Savings Plan.
(b) The amount of elective contributions
actually allowed for the participant under the
Savings Plan for the year after application of
the annual dollar limit on elective deferrals,
the $150,000 limit on qualified plan
2
<PAGE>
compensation, the actual deferral percentage
test, and the limit on annual additions.
3.2 Amounts deferred under 3.1 shall be credited to the
participant's Deferral Account.
3.3 Subject to 3.4 and 3.5, for each plan year the
Company shall contribute the following amounts for each
participant:
(a) 6 percent of the participant's
compensation for the year in excess of the
contribution and benefit base determined under
section 230 of the Social Security Act.
"Compensation" means the compensation from which
elective contributions may be made under the
Savings Plan, before reduction for such elective
contributions, deferrals under this plan or
amounts elected under a flexible benefits plan.
Compensation in excess of the $150,000 limit on
qualified plan compensation shall be counted for
this purpose.
(b) The excess (if any) of (1) over (2)
below:
(1) The participant's matching
contributions under the Savings Plan
based on the participant's elective
contributions under 3.1(a) before
reduction under 3.1(b) and after any
reduction in the rate of matching as a
result of the 4-percent-of-eligible-
payroll limit on matching contributions
provided under the Savings Plan.
(2) The amount of matching
contributions actually allowed for the
participant under the Savings Plan for the
year after application of the annual dollar
limit on elective deferrals, the actual
deferral percentage test, the contribution
percentage test and the limit on annual
additions.
3.4 If an excess deferral or excess matching
contribution under the Savings Plan is distributed to a
participant under sections 4.04-6 or 4.04-7 of the Savings Plan,
or any successor provision, the participant shall repay the
amount received, including any earnings, to the Company. The
3
<PAGE>
Company shall treat such amount as a deferral contribution under
this Plan and shall reduce the taxable income reported to the
participant by the same amount.
3.5 No contribution under 3.3 shall be made in any plan
year in which the participant does not elect any elective
contribution under the Savings Plan.
3.6 Company contributions under 3.3 shall be credited
to the participant's Company Account.
4. Participants' Accounts
4.1 The Committee shall keep the following Accounts for
each participant:
(a) A Deferral Account.
(b) A Company Account.
4.2 The Committee shall credit to a participant's
Company Account the contribution provided by 3.3(a) as of a date
not later than the last day of the plan year.
4.3 The Committee shall credit to a participant's
Deferral Account the deferrals under 3.1 at the time which, but
for the limitations imposed by law, the deferrals would have been
credited to the participant's account under the Savings Plan.
4.4 The Committee shall credit to a participant's
Company Account the contributions under 3.3(b) at the time which,
but for the limitations imposed by law, the contribution would
have been credited to the participant's account under the Savings
Plan.
4.5 As of each regular or special valuation date under
the Savings Plan, the Committee shall credit earnings or losses
to each participant's Accounts. The Committee shall establish
within the trust described in 10.4 one or more pooled investment
funds (collectively, the "SERP Funds"), and the following shall
apply:
(a) The Committee shall define the
objectives for the SERP Funds, may establish new
funds, combine two or more funds or change the
objectives of an existing fund.
(b) When there are two or more SERP Funds
offered, allocation of the Accounts of each
participant among the funds shall be controlled
4
<PAGE>
by the participant in minimum increments
established by the Committee. If no allocation
is made, the Committee shall determine the SERP
Funds into which contributions shall be
deposited.
(c) The Committee shall inform all
participants about the SERP Funds and the
objectives of each. The SERP Funds shall be
valued as of each valuation date under the
Savings Plan.
(d) Except as provided above, the
provisions 10.02 of the Savings Plan relating to
amounts, timing, and notice requirements for
allocations shall apply with respect to
allocations by the participant under this plan.
(e) The SERP Funds shall be valued as of
each regular or special valuation date under the
Savings Plan.
5. Time and Manner of Payment
5.1 The vested amount of a participant's Accounts shall
be paid in one of the following ways as selected under 5.2:
(a) In a lump sum within 30 days after the
Benefit Date.
(b) In substantially equal monthly
installments over 5 years, beginning within 30
days after the Benefit Date.
(c) In substantially equal monthly
installments over 10 years, beginning within 30
days after the Benefit Date.
5.2 The Benefit Date shall be the earliest of the
following:
(a) The date the participant ceases to be
employed by the Company, other than in a direct
transfer to employment with an entity designated
by the Committee as an affiliate of the Company.
(b) The date the participant dies.
5
<PAGE>
(c) The date the participant becomes
disabled as determined under the terms of the
Savings Plan.
5.3 In the participant's Statement of Participation, the
participant shall select the form of payment under 5.1. A
participant's selection shall be irrevocable for deferrals and
Company contributions credited to the participant's Accounts
while the selection is in effect and any earnings credited
thereto. A participant may change the form of payment by written
notice to the Committee. Such a change shall be effective on the
first day of the plan year beginning after the Committee receives
notice of the change. A change of payment form shall apply only
to deferrals and Company contributions, and earnings credited
thereto, after the change becomes effective.
5.4 The Company shall withhold from any payments any
income tax or other amounts as required by law. If FICA tax is
due on deferrals or Company contributions, the participant's
share of FICA shall be withheld from other compensation payable
to the participant.
5.5 On the death of a participant, payments under 5.1
shall be made to the participant's beneficiary at the same time
the payments would have been made to the participant. The
participant's beneficiary shall be determined under the terms of
the Savings Plan as in effect at the date of death, regardless
of whether the participant ceases to be a participant in the
Savings Plan.
5.6 If a beneficiary is receiving payments under 5.5 and
dies before the payments are completed, the remaining payments
shall be made to the beneficiary's estate.
6. Vesting
6.1 A participant's Deferral Account shall be fully
vested at all times.
6.2 A participant's Company Account shall be vested in
the same percentage as the participant's matching contributions
under the Savings Plan, except as follows. The Company Account
shall be fully vested if a Change of Control Event under 6.3
occurs.
6.3 A "Change of Control Event" means any one of the
following, except the corporate reorganization of July 1995 shall
not be a Change of Control Event:
6
<PAGE>
(a) The sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company;
(b) The sale of 50% or more of the
Partnership interests in the Company, whether by
sale, merger or other disposition;
(c) The liquidation or dissolution of the
Company;
(d) Any other sale or disposition of the
assets or Partnership interests of the Company
(whether any of such Partnership interests are
now outstanding) resulting in a change in control
of the policies, procedures and operation of the
Company.
7. Withdrawals
7.1 A participant may withdraw vested amounts from the
participant's Accounts to the extent approved by the Committee
because of financial hardship as defined in the Savings Plan.
The withdrawal shall be limited to the amount reasonably
necessary to meet the financial hardship. The vested amounts in
the participant's Accounts under this plan shall be exhausted
first, before hardship withdrawals are allowed under the Savings
Plan.
7.2 The withdrawal date shall be fixed by the Committee
after application by the participant under procedures fixed by
the Committee. The application shall include a signed statement
of the facts causing financial hardship and any other facts
required by the Committee. The Committee may require a minimum
advance notice, may limit the amount and frequency of
withdrawals, and may delay payment of an approved withdrawal to
permit a special valuation, to permit liquidation of necessary
assets or for other pertinent reasons. Accounts shall be
adjusted as of the last regular or special valuation date on or
before the withdrawal.
8. Amendment; Termination
8.1 The Company may amend the plan at any time by notice
to the participants. An amendment may be retroactive within the
plan year in which notice is given. An amendment may not reduce
the balance in the participants' Accounts as of the date notice
of the amendment is given to participants. An amendment may not
change the terms in 4.5 under which earnings or losses are
determined. No amendment may accelerate the time of payment of
7
<PAGE>
benefits to persons participating in the plan at the time of the
amendment.
8.2 If the Savings Plan is terminated, this plan shall
terminate as of the same date. If all the assets of the Savings
Plan are then distributed to its participants, all the Accounts
under this plan shall be distributed in a lump sum to the
participants at the same time.
8.3 The Company may terminate this plan effective the
first day of any plan year after notice to the participants. On
termination, all Accounts under this plan shall be distributed
in a lump sum to participants.
8.4 If the Internal Revenue Service issues a final
ruling that the amount of any participant's Account will be
subject to current income tax to the participant, all amounts to
which the ruling is applicable shall be paid within 30 days to
the participant.
9. Claims Procedure
9.1 Any person claiming a benefit, requesting
an interpretation or ruling under the plan, or requesting
information under the plan shall present the request in writing
to the Committee, which shall respond in writing as soon as
practicable.
9.2 If the claim or request is denied, the written
notice of denial shall state:
(a) The reasons for denial, with specific
reference to the plan provisions on which the
denial is based.
(b) A description of any additional
material or information required and an
explanation of why it is necessary.
(c) An explanation of the plan's claim
review procedure.
9.3 Any person whose claim or request is denied or who
has not received a response within 30 days may request review by
notice in writing to the Committee. The original decision shall
be reviewed by the Committee which may, but shall not be required
to, grant the claimant a hearing. On review, whether or not
there is a hearing, the claimant may have representation, examine
pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing.
8
<PAGE>
9.4 The decision on review ordinarily shall be made
within 60 days. If an extension of time is required for a
hearing or other special circumstances, the claimant shall be so
notified and the time limit shall be 120 days. The decision

plan provisions. All decisions on review shall be final and bind
all parties concerned.
10. General Provisions
10.1 Any notice under this plan shall be in writing and
shall be effective when actually delivered, or, if mailed, when
deposited postage prepaid. Mail shall be directed to the Company
at the address stated in this plan, to the participant at the
address stated in the Statement of Participation, or to such
other address as a party may specify by notice to the other
parties. Notices to the Committee shall be sent to the Company's
address.
10.2 The rights of a participant under this plan are
personal. Except for the limited provisions of 5.5, no inter-
est of a participant or any beneficiary or representative of a
participant may be directly or indirectly transferred, encum-
bered, seized by legal process or in any other way subjected to
the claims of any creditor.
10.3 Except as provided in 10.4, the rights of the
participants and beneficiaries under this plan shall be an
unfunded, unsecured promise of the Company to make future
payments.
10.4 The Company shall establish a trust with a
financial institution for payment of benefits under the plan,
which shall be a grantor trust for tax purposes. The trust shall
provide that any assets contributed to the Trustee shall be used
exclusively for payment of benefits under this plan except in the
event the Company becomes insolvent, in which case the trust fund
shall be held for payment of the Company's obligations to its
general creditors.
10.5 Following termination of employment, a participant
shall not be an employee of the Company for any purpose and
payments under section 5 shall not constitute salary or wages.
A participant shall receive such payments as retirement benefits,
not as compensation for performance of any substantial services.

between the Company and any employee. No employee may object to
amendment or termination of the plan. The plan shall not prevent
the Company from discharging any employee at any time.

10.7 The Committee may decide that because of the mental
or physical condition of a person entitled to payments, or

discretion direct that payments be made as follows:
(a) To a parent or spouse or a child of
legal age.
(b) To a legal guardian.
(c) To one furnishing maintenance, support,
or hospitalization.

of Washington except as preempted by federal law.
