                   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 for the period from August 1, 1995
       through March 31, 1996.

                                       7

       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 $9,409,000 and
       $9,933,000 at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, and
       operating revenues of $44,998,000 and $0 and operating expenses of
       $30,971,000 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and one
       month ended March 31, 1995, 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 March 31, 1996 and the results of operations and cash
       flows for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 and for the one
       month period ended March 31, 1995.  Interim results are not necessarily
       indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

       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.

       4.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       Investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures includes two
       notes receivable from one joint venture in the amounts of $1,444,000 and
       $2,009,000 at March 31, 1996 and $1,500,000 and $2,009,000 at December
       31, 1995 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 10% and a rate based on
       prime plus 1.0% (9.25% at March 31, 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 $1,671,000 and $1,628,000
       outstanding at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, which
       bears interest at a rate based on prime plus .25% times 120% (10.2% at
       March 31, 1996 and 10.5% at December 31, 1995).

       Transactions with the MLP

       Included in accounts receivable-affiliates and due from affiliate is
       $23,057,000 and $19,078,000 at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
       respectively, 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 current
       assets and current liabilities related to the managed MLP hotels of
       $3,044,000 and $2,194,000 at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
       respectively.  The current balance of $4,144,000 and $2,823,000 at March
       31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, is included in accounts
       receivable-affiliates.  The remaining balance of $18,913,000 and
       $16,255,000 at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, is
       classified as due from affiliate.  Amounts receivable from the MLP earn
       interest at the rate of prime plus 0.5% (8.75%  and 9.0% at March 31,
       1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively).

       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 were
       received by the Company during the first quarter of 1996 reducing the
       outstanding balance to $5,647,000 at March 31, 1996.  Additionally,
       $4,946,000 was repaid to the Company in April 1996 out of the refinancing
       of MLP long-term debt and this amount is reflected in accounts
       receivable-affiliates at March 31, 1996.  The remaining balance is
       classified as due from affiliate.  Accordingly, due from affiliate
       includes total non-interest bearing receivables from the MLP of
       $4,427,000 and $4,573,000 at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
       respectively.

       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 are undergoing
       repair.  Management currently anticipates that renovations to such hotels
       will be completed in the second quarter of 1996.  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.

       7.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

       At March 31, 1996, the Company had commitments relating to capital
       improvement projects aggregating approximately $14,250,000.

       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 EVENT

       During April 1996, the Company acquired a 290 room hotel in San Antonio,
       Texas for $26 million.

       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 months ended
       March 31, 1996 to pro forma results for the three months ended March 31,
       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
            statement of income includes the pro forma results of Historical Red
            Lion for the three months ended March 31, 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 $89,000 for which the Company is reimbursed
            by the Partnership.

       (c)  Pro forma interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 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 March 31, 1996 and Pro Forma Three
       -------------------------------------------------------------------
            Months Ended March 31, 1995
            ---------------------------

       The Company's net income increased 39% to $6.4 million ($.21 per share)
       for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 from pro forma net income of $4.6
       million ($.15 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

       Revenues.  The Company's operating revenues for the quarter ended March
       ---------                                                              
       31, 1996 were $120.7 million, an increase of $7 million or 6% from pro
       forma operating revenues of $113.7 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
       The changes in specific revenue categories are discussed below.

       Room revenues increased 7% to $67 million for the quarter ended March 31,
       1996 as compared to pro forma room revenues of $62.9 million for the
       quarter ended March 31, 1995.  This increase was primarily due to a 5%
       rise in average daily room rates to $78.16.  Actual occupancy of 67%
       during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 decreased 1% as compared to the
       pro forma occupancy rate for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  An
       additional component of the increase in room revenues was the acquisition
       of a 369 room hotel during December 1995 in Spokane, Washington ("Spokane
       City Center").  Spokane City Center contributed room revenues of  $1.2
       million during the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

       Other revenues increased 24% to $14.5 million for the quarter ended March
       31, 1996 as compared to pro forma other revenues of $11.7 million for the
       quarter ended March 31, 1995 due primarily to increased 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 quarter ended March
       31, 1996 increased 4% over pro forma departmental direct expenses for the
       quarter ended March 31, 1995.   As a percentage of revenues and pro forma
       revenues, departmental direct expenses and pro forma departmental direct
       expenses were 45% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
       respectively.

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
       Property indirect expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 increased
       7% over pro forma property indirect expenses for the quarter ended March
       31, 1995, which represents a modest increase 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.

       The Company's gross operating profit for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
       was $39.6 million, an increase of $3.1 million or 8% from pro forma gross
       operating profit of $36.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
       The increase is primarily attributable to the higher revenues discussed
       above.  Gross operating profit margin for the quarter ended March 31,
       1996 improved to 33% from pro forma gross operating profit margin of 32%
       for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

       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 $803,000 for the quarter ended
       March 31, 1996 as compared to the pro forma payments to owners of managed
       hotels for the quarter ended March 31, 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 $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
       compared to pro forma management fees of $1.5 million for the quarter
       ended March 31, 1995.

       The Company's operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was
       $14.4 million, an increase of $2.8 million or 24% from pro forma
       operating income of $11.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
       The increase is primarily attributable to the rise in room revenues
       discussed above.

       Interest expense, net, decreased $1.1 million to $3.9 million for the
       quarter ended March 31,1996 as compared to pro forma interest expense of
       $5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The decrease is
       primarily due to interest income earned during the first quarter of 1996
       of  approximately $736,000 and repayments of borrowings.

       Income tax expense increased $1.2 million to $4.3 million for the quarter
       ended March 31,1996 as compared to pro forma income tax expense of $3.1
       million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The Company's estimated
       effective tax rate is 40% for both quarters.

       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:  Cash decreased to $51.8 million at
       March 31, 1996 from $68.4 million at December 31, 1995 primarily as a
       result of the investment in capital expenditures during the first quarter
       of 1996, the payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses and
       seasonal 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 March 31, 1996, commitments relating to capital improvement projects
       were approximately $14.3 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 March 31, 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.  During March 1996, $9 million was drawn down on the working
       capital portion of the credit line facility in order to fund the
       mandatory prepayment of $8,631,000 on the seven year term loan.  At March
       31, 1996, the outstanding balance on the credit line facility totaled $9
       million at an interest rate of 7.5% and at December 31, 1995 there was no
       outstanding balance.  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.
