                   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 55 hotels in 10 western states. 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 in
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 and certain
related obligations  (the Leased Hotels), certain minority joint venture
interests and certain current assets) and certain liabilities to the Company
(the Formation).  Historical Red Lion subsequent to the Formation and
refinancing of the Company (the Partnership) 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.
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.

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 beginning August 1, 1995.
<PAGE>
 
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 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 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 the 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 $8,843,000 and
$9,933,000 at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, and operating
revenues of $50,130,000 and $95,128,000 and operating expenses of $31,840,000
and $62,811,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 respectively,
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 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.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of the
management, all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature,
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30,
1996 and the results of operations and cash flows for the six month period ended
June 30, 1996 and for the four month period ended June 30, 1995.  Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full
fiscal year.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

2.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS
No. 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," effective January 1, 1996.
SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock
options or similar instruments and permits companies to adopt that method of
accounting for all of their employee stock compensation plans. However, it also
allows a company to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using
the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25
("APB No. 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company has
elected to continue to measure compensation cost in conformity with APB No. 25
and to make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share in its
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, as if the fair
value based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

</TABLE>

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, to fixed rates.
Accordingly, the net interest received or paid on the interest rate swap is
recorded as an adjustment to interest expense.

At June 30, 1996, 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 recognized by the
Company relating to interest rate swap agreements for the six months ended June
30, 1996 was approximately $74,000 and is included as an adjustment to interest
expense.

4.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures includes two notes
receivable from one joint venture in the amounts of $1,387,000 and $2,009,000 at
June 30, 1996 and $1,500,000 and $2,009,000 at December 31, 1995.  The notes
bear interest at a fixed rate of 10% and a rate based on prime plus 1.0% (9.25%
at June 30, 1996 and 9.5% at December 31, 1995), respectively.  In addition,
other assets, net, includes a note receivable from a joint venture in the amount
of $1,714,000 and $1,628,000 outstanding at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
respectively, which bears interest at a rate based on prime (10.2% at June 30,
1996 and 10.5% at December 31, 1995).

Transactions with the MLP

Included in accounts receivable-affiliates and due from affiliate is $22,455,000
and $19,078,000 at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively,
representing amounts receivable from the MLP primarily for advances made by the
Company and Historical Red Lion for capital improvements which exceeded the 3%
reserve established in accordance with the provisions of the management
agreement.  Such amounts are presented net of current assets and current
liabilities related to the managed MLP hotels of $3,231,000 and $2,194,000 at
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.  The current balance on this
receivable of $1,064,000 and $2,823,000 at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
respectively, is included in accounts receivable-affiliates.  The remaining
balance of $21,391,000 and $16,255,000 at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
respectively, is classified as due from affiliate. Amounts receivable from the
MLP for capital improvement advances earn interest at the rate of prime plus
0.5% (8.75% at June 30, 1996 and 9.0% at December 31, 1995).

Accounts receivable-affiliates and due from affiliate also include certain other
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 and is classified as due from affiliate
at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995.  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.  The Company received $5,299,000 of such fees during the six months
ended June 30, 1996. Of the total remaining balance of $701,000, $641,000 is
classified as due from affiliate and $60,000 as accounts receivable-affiliate at
June 30, 1996.

5.   INCOME TAXES

Since Historical Red Lion was a partnership, no deferred tax benefits had been
provided on the net assets contributed to the Company. In accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes," the Company recorded net deferred tax assets of $1.2 million in March
1995 related to the contribution of the Santa Barbara Joint Venture. Except for
the tax benefit associated with the contribution of the Santa Barbara Joint
Venture, income taxes have been provided at an estimated effective income tax
rate of 40%.

6.   INSURANCE PROCEEDS

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 been repaired. The third hotel
was undamaged and reopened quickly. As the Company maintains flood and business
interruption insurance, management does not believe that the ultimate outcome
will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial
position of the Company. Moreover, as the Company's flood insurance policy
covers the replacement cost of the damaged property, insurance proceeds will
likely exceed the net book value of the underlying property, resulting in the
recognition of gains when such proceeds are received.
<PAGE>
 
7.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At June 30, 1996, the Company had commitments relating to capital improvement
projects aggregating approximately $9,619,000.

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.

8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 7, 1996, the Company acquired a 319 room hotel in Houston, Texas for
approximately $21,750,000. During the second quarter of 1996, a letter of intent
was signed to purchase the 258 room hotel in Modesto, California which is
currently managed by Red Lion. The Company anticipates this transaction being
completed during the third quarter of 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this document.  The Company believes
the comparison of actual results for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 to pro forma results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
provides a more meaningful presentation than a comparison to actual 1995
operations which represent the results of one hotel and a relatively short time
period since the Company's operations commenced.

(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. The accompanying consolidated statements of income includes the pro
     forma results of Historical Red Lion for the three and six months ended
     June 30, 1995 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,
     1995.

(b)  Pro forma other costs includes quarterly lease expense of $3,750,000
     associated with the Leased Hotels, offset by quarterly administrative costs
     of $88,000 for which the Company is reimbursed by the Partnership.

(c)  Pro forma interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
     reflects the effects of the Formation and Refinancing as if those events
     had occurred on January 1, 1995.  Accordingly, pro forma interest expense
     does not include interest on debt associated with the Leased Hotels or
     repaid with the proceeds of the Offering.

(d)  Based on the number of common shares issued in the Offering, as if the
     Offering occurred on January 1, 1995.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------

Revenues.  The Company's operating revenues for the three months ended June 30,
- ---------
1996 were $137.3 million, an increase of $10.2 million or 8% from pro forma
operating revenues of $127.1 for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The
change in operating  revenues is primarily a result of increased room revenues.

Room revenues increased 10% to $80.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996 as compared to pro forma room revenues of $73 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1995. This increase was primarily due to an 8% rise in average
daily room rates to $81.12. Actual occupancy of 75.3% during the three months
ended June 30, 1996 declined 2% as compared to the pro forma occupancy rate for
the three months ended June 30, 1995. Another component of the increase was the
acquisition of two hotels since June 30, 1995, which contributed room revenues
of approximately $4.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 1996.

A summary of occupancy and room rates for the three months ended June 30 is as
follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
 
                         1996      1995

Occupancy percentage     75.3%     76.6%
Average rom rate        $81.12    $75.42
</TABLE>

Operating results are affected by seasonality.  The current quarter results
reflect spring and early summer seasons in which revenues are typically lower
than in the third quarter but higher than in the first quarter.  There can be no
assurance, however, that such trends will continue.

Expenses.  Departmental direct expenses (expenses related to a specific
- --------
function, such as rooms or food and beverage) for the three months ended June
30, 1996 increased 5% over pro forma departmental direct expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 1995.   As a percentage of revenues and pro forma
revenues, departmental direct expenses and pro forma departmental direct
expenses decreased to 41% from 43% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively, primarily due to the increase in revenues.

Property indirect expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased 7%
over pro forma property indirect expenses for the three months ended June 30,
1995 and slightly decreased 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.
<PAGE>
 
Gross Operating Profit.  The Company's gross operating profit for the three
- ----------------------
months ended June 30, 1996 was $52.5 million, an increase of $5.9 million or 13%
from pro forma gross operating profit of $46.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1995.  The increase is primarily attributable to the higher
revenues discussed above.  Gross operating profit margin for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 improved to 38% from pro forma gross operating profit margin
of 37% for the three months ended June 30, 1995.

Payments Due to Owners of Managed Hotels.  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 approximately $1.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the pro forma payments to owners of
managed hotels for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in
payments due to owners of managed hotels is primarily attributable to improved
operating performance at the managed hotels.

Management fees in connection with the managed hotels increased moderately to
$4.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to pro forma
management fees of $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995.

Operating Income. The Company's operating income for the three months ended June
- ----------------
30, 1996 was $24.3 million, an increase of $3.5 million or 17% from pro forma
operating income of $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The
increase is primarily attributable to the higher revenues discussed above.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense, net, decreased $1.1 million to $3.9 million
- ----------------
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to pro forma interest
expense of $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease is
primarily due to interest income earned during the second quarter of 1996 of
approximately $540,000 and a lower average outstanding principal balance on
Company debt.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $1.8 million to $8.3 million
- ------------------
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to pro forma income tax
expense of $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The Company's
estimated effective tax rate is 40% for both quarters.

Net Income.  The Company's net income increased 28% to $12.4 million ($.40 per
- ----------
share) for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from pro forma net income of
$9.7 million ($.31 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The
increase in net income is primarily due to increased operating income and
decreased interest expense.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and Pro Forma Six Months Ended June
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30, 1995
- --------

Revenues.  The Company's operating revenues for the six months ended June 30,
- -------- 
1996 were $258 million, an increase of $17.2 million or 7% from pro forma
operating revenues of $240.8 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The change
in operating revenues is primarily a result of increased room and other
revenues.

Room revenues increased 8% to $147.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996 as compared to pro forma room revenues of $135.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1995. This increase was primarily due to a 7% rise in average
daily room rates to $79.75. Actual occupancy of 71% during the six months ended
June 30, 1996 declined 2% as compared to the pro forma occupancy rate for the
six months ended June 30, 1995. Another component of the increase was the
acquisition of two hotels since June 30, 1995 which contributed additional room
revenues of approximately $6.5 million during the six months ended June 30,
1996.

A summary of occupancy and room rates for the six months ended June 30 is as
follows:

<TABLE>

Other revenues increased 21% to $29.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996 as compared to pro forma other revenues of $24.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 due primarily to increased telephone income, banquet
rentals, ancillary banquet services and insurance proceeds relating to two
hotels which were affected by the February 1996 flood in the Portland, Oregon
area.

Expenses.  Departmental direct expenses (expenses related to a specific
- --------
function, such as rooms or food and beverage) for the six months ended June 30,
1996 increased 4% over pro forma departmental direct expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1995.   As a percentage of revenues and pro forma revenues,
departmental direct expenses and pro forma departmental direct expenses
decreased to 43% from 44% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, primarily due to the increase in revenues.

Property indirect expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 7%
over pro forma property indirect expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1995
and remained constant 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.

Gross Operating Profit.  The Company's gross operating profit for the six months
- ----------------------
ended June 30, 1996 was $92.1 million, an increase of $9 million or 11% from pro
forma gross operating profit of $83.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995.  The increase is primarily attributable to the higher revenues discussed
above.  Gross operating profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 1996
improved to 36% from pro forma gross operating profit margin of 35% for the six
months ended June 30, 1995.

Payments Due to Owners of Managed Hotels.  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 approximately $2.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the pro forma payments to owners of
managed hotels for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in payments
due to owners of managed hotels is primarily attributable to improved operating
performance at the managed hotels.

Management fees in connection with the managed hotels increased to $6.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to pro forma management fees
of $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

Operating Income.  The Company's operating income for the six months ended June
- ----------------
30, 1996 was $38.7 million, an increase of $6.3 million or 19% from pro forma
operating income of $32.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The
increase is primarily attributable to the higher revenues discussed above.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense, net, decreased $2.2 million to $7.8 million
- ----------------
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as  compared to pro forma interest
expense of $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease is
primarily due to interest income earned during the six months ended June 30,
1996 of approximately $1.3 million and a lower average outstanding principal
balance on Company debt.

Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense increased $3 million to $12.6 million
- ------------------
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to pro forma income tax
expense of $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The Company's
estimated effective tax rate is 40% for both quarters.

share) for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from pro forma net income of $14.3
million ($.46 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase
in net income is primarily due to increased operating income and decreased
interest expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash decreased to $36.5 million at June 30, 1996 from $68.4 million at December
31, 1995 primarily as a result of an acquisition, ongoing capital expenditures,
repayment of term loan principal and seasonal working capital fluctuations.  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.

At June 30, 1996, commitments relating to capital improvement projects were
approximately $9.6 million.  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.  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 term of seven
years.  The term loan and credit line facility (collectively the "Credit
Facility") carry a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus 2% (7.5% at June
30, 1996). Quarterly mandatory prepayments which increase over the term of the
Credit Facility are required.  In addition, in March of each year a mandatory
prepayment of the Credit Facility is required in an amount equal to 50% of
annual excess cash flow (as defined in the credit agreement) for the prior
fiscal year. 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. At August
9, 1996, there was no outstanding balance on the credit line facility.

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.

                                 **************

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 those 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, price pressures and continuing
availability of capital to fund growth and improvements.  The forward-looking
statements should be considered in light of these factors.
