NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (the "Company"), a Maryland corporation, was formed on September 21, 1994, as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). The Company completed an initial public offering (the "Offering") of 5,910,000 shares of its common stock on August 16, 1995. An additional 404,500 shares of common stock were issued by the Company on September 3, 1995 upon a partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. The offering price of all shares sold in the Offering was $9.50 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $60.0 million and net proceeds (less the underwriters' discount and offering expenses) of approximately $53.0 million. The Company contributed all of the net proceeds of the Offering to Sunstone Hotel Investors, L.P. (the "Partnership") in exchange for an approximately 82.5% aggregate equity interest in the Partnership. The Company conducts all its business through and is the sole general partner of the Partnership (hereafter referred to as the "Company"). In connection with the Offering, the Company acquired seven hotels (the "Sunstone Hotels") from seven entities controlled by officers and a director of the Company and acquired the three additional hotels (the "Acquisition Hotels" and together, the "Initial Hotels") from unrelated third parties in exchange for (I) 1,288,500 units ("Units") in the Partnership (representing the remaining 17.5% of equity interest in the Partnership) which are exchangeable for a like number of shares of the common stock of the Company and (ii) the payment of mortgage indebtedness for the Sunstone Hotels of approximately $23.5 million and other obligations relating to the Sunstone Hotels and (iii) payment of approximately $25.8 million to purchase the Acquisition Hotels. The Company owns, as of September 30, 1996, 20 hotels (the "Hotels") and leases them to Sunstone Hotel Properties, Inc. (the "Lessee") under operating leases (the "Percentage Leases") providing for the payment of base and percentage rent. The Lessee is owned by Robert A. Alter, Chairman and President of the Company (80%), and Charles L. Biederman, Director and Executive Vice President of the Company (20%). The Lessee has entered into a management agreement pursuant to which all of the Hotels are managed by Sunstone Hotel Management, Inc. (the "Management Company"), of which Mr. Alter is the sole shareholder. Basis Of Presentation: For accounting purposes, the Company exercises unilateral control over the Partnership; hence, the financial statements of the Company and the Partnership are consolidated. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. 2. NET INCOME PER SHARE AND PARTNERSHIP UNITS Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common and equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Outstanding options are included as common equivalent shares using the treasury stock method when the effect is dilutive. The weighted average number of shares used in determining net income per share were 8,590,190 and 6,322,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. At September 30, 1996, a total of 12,382,300 partnership units were issued and outstanding. The weighted average number of units outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was 10,048,990. 7 8 3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." This statement shall be effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Management has elected early adoption of this statement, which should not have a material impact on the financial statements. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" which shall be effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITIONS On October 29, 1996, the Company acquired the 246-room Holiday Inn in Mesa, Arizona, the 156-room Holiday Inn in Flagstaff, Arizona and the 125-room Hampton Inn in Tucson, Arizona, for $27.8 million, for consideration consisting of $3.6 million in cash, the assumption of $16.8 million in debt and the issuance of $7.4 million in partnership units at $10.52 per unit. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company's total assets, market capitalization and debt were $138.7 million, $183.6 million, and $39.6 million, respectively. On August 13, 1996, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share. The net proceeds of $36.8 million were used as follows: (i) approximately $20.8 million to repay outstanding borrowings under the line of credit, $8.2 million of which was borrowed to acquire the 188-room Holiday Inn in Renton, Washington on June 28, 1996; and (ii) approximately $16.0 million to purchase the 155-room Comfort Suites in South San Francisco, California and a 151-room nationally franchised hotel in Price, Utah. On September 10, 1996, the underwriters exercised a 30-day option and purchased an additional 600,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share generating an additional $5.6 million net proceeds for the Company. 8 9 SUNSTONE HOTEL PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION: Sunstone Hotel Properties, Inc. (the "Lessee") was incorporated in Colorado in August 1995 and commenced operations effective with the completion of an initial public stock offering (the "Offering") by Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (the "REIT") on August 16, 1995. The Lessee leases hotel properties primarily located in the western United States from the REIT pursuant to long term leases. 12 13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. SUMMARY OVERVIEW On August 16, 1995, the Company completed a $60 million initial public offering ("IPO") and contributed all of the net proceeds of the IPO to the Partnership in exchange for an approximately 82.5% aggregate equity interest in the Partnership. The Company used the proceeds of the IPO to fund the purchase of three of its hotels and repay indebtedness incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Sunstone Initial Hotels. On August 13, 1996, the Company contributed an additional $36.8 million of net proceeds to the Partnership from the proceeds of a secondary offering. On September 10, 1996, the Company sold an additional 600,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share to cover over-allotments in connection with the August 1996 secondary offering. The company contributed net proceeds of $5.6 million to the Partnership, increasing its interest in the Partnership to approximately 88.2%. The Company owns as of November 14, 1996, 23 hotels with an aggregate of 3,139 rooms in seven states, including Arizona (4), California (5), Colorado (6), New Mexico (1), Utah (2), Oregon (2), and Washington (3), has more than doubled the number of hotels in its portfolio in the 13 months since the IPO and has increased the number of rooms by 136.4% since the IPO. Since the IPO, the Company has implemented its growth strategy by (i) acquiring under performing hotels and redeveloping and repositioning seven of such hotels into nationally franchised upscale and mid-price hotels and (ii) enhancing the operating performance of its hotels through selective renovation and improved management and marketing by the Lessee. Additionally, the Company has significantly increased its franchise and geographic diversification within the western United States and expanded its ability to finance future growth, through increased borrowing capacity on its line of credit. The Company has implemented its external growth strategy by (i) acquiring twelve hotels for purchase prices aggregating $71.7 million, and thereby increasing the number of rooms in its portfolio by 136.4% since the IPO, (ii) constructing a Residence Inn for approximately $5.4 million, which opened during the third quarter of 1996 ,and (iii) entering into a letter of intent to acquire a 166-room full-service convention hotel for $8.4 million upon completion of construction by an unaffiliated developer, which is expected to occur in 1997. As of November 14, 1996, the date of this report, the company's total assets and market capitalization were $138.7 million and $183.6 million, respectively. The Company has implemented its internal growth strategy by (i) completing an aggregate of $11.6 million in redevelopment and significant renovations to seven of its hotels, representing an additional investment in those hotels of 36.5% of the aggregate acquisition price; (ii) commencing budgeted redevelopment of approximately $8.0 million to six recently acquired hotels; (iii) increasing revenue per available room (REVPAR) for the seven hotels that were owned by the Company or its predecessors for the entire nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996 (and which were not undergoing redevelopment or significant renovation) by 6.5%, from $39.17 to $41.70. Management believes that the increases in REVPAR for these hotels resulted primarily from the success of the Company's renovation and redevelopment program, from improvements in management and marketing by the Lessee and from increases in demand for upscale and mid-price hotel rooms throughout the United States. Additionally, the Company has increased availability under its line of credit from $30 million to $50 million, reduced its borrowing rate from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 1.90%, with additional reductions to LIBOR plus 1.75% upon meeting certain other financial conditions, and has applied for a $9.9 million 10-year fixed-rate term loan which will be secured by two of its hotels. 13 14 The following tables summarize average occupancy, average daily rate ("ADR") and REVPAR on a same-unit-sales (2,612 rooms) basis for the hotels. SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 1996 1995 1996 1995 Actual Pro Forma Actual Pro Forma ------ --------- ------ --------- ALL HOTELS: Occupancy 71.4% 75.9% 66.5% 69.9% ADR $63.52 $58.59 $62.40 $58.74 REVPAR $45.38 $44.48 $41.51 $41.08 REVPAR Growth 2.0% (1.0)% NON-RENOVATION HOTELS: Occupancy 76.3% 77.0% 72.2% 73.1% ADR $63.02 $57.38 $63.20 $58.39 REVPAR $48.08 $44.19 $45.62 $42.68 REVPAR Growth 8.8% 6.9% RENOVATION HOTELS: Occupancy 60.7% 73.5% 57.3% 64.8% ADR $64.91 $61.38 $60.77 $59.39 REVPAR $39.37 $45.13 $34.83 $38.49 REVPAR Growth (12.8)% (9.5)% RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 1996 to September 30, 1995 -- Actual versus Pro Forma Operations The Company's three most recently acquired hotels in South San Francisco, California, Renton, Washington, and Price, Utah led the Company's strong third quarter performance with better than expected results. These three hotels provided an 18.2% increase in REVPAR in the third quarter of 1996 when compared with the corresponding period in 1995. The increase, which is representative of the Company's results for newly acquired hotels in their first few months of operations, continues to indicate the Company's ability to identify significantly under performing hotels with turn-around potential. On average, for the ten hotels acquired since the IPO through September 30, 1996, the Company has been able, through the efforts of its Lessee's sales and marketing program, to achieve 18.9% REVPAR growth in the first two months of operations immediately following acquisition and before any redevelopment or renovation activity has commenced. Revenues were also improved in the third quarter of 1996 when compared to the corresponding quarter of 1995 by the results of operations from recently redeveloped and renovated hotels. Results of operations has been positive for those hotels in which redevelopment has been completed when the hotel has resumed normalized operations. For the Holiday Inn in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, in its first month of normalized operations since redevelopment, REVPAR growth was 31.8%, and, for the Hampton Inn in Oakland, California, REVPAR growth was 10.6% during that same period. During the entire third quarter of 1996, all of the remaining Cypress Inn hotels purchased in February of 1996 were undergoing significant redevelopment. The 114-room hotel in Clackamas, Oregon, one of six Cypress Inn hotels acquired by the Company in February of 1996 for $15 million, was renovated and re-flagged as a Hampton Inn in September 1996. Two additional Cypress Inn hotels also reopened with new flags in September: the 122-room hotel in Kent, Washington as a Holiday Inn and Suites and a 63-room hotel in Poulsbo, Washington as a Holiday Inn Express. The final Cypress Inn hotel located in Portland, Oregon reopened as a Holiday Inn Express in October 1996. 14 15 (The Company disposed of the remaining two Cypress Inn hotels in May 1996, without any gain at a sale price of $4 million.) The four retained properties were redeveloped with capital improvements costing $5.5 million for a total net cost of $16.5 million, or $43,000 per room, significantly below replacement costs. In October 1996, the first month of normalized operations for the three hotels reopening in September, REVPAR gains were 13.6%. The overall 16.5% average REVPAR growth for the Company's portfolio of six redeveloped hotels in the first month of normalized operations indicates the potential for REVPAR gains for the Company in future periods. The Company also opened in September of 1996 the newly-developed, 78-room Residence Inn in Highlands Ranch, Colorado at a cost of $5.4 million. In its first month of normalized operations (October 1996), 70.1% occupancy was achieved with an ADR of $90.23. REVPAR for the seven hotels that were owned by the Company or its predecessor for the entire third quarter of 1995 and 1996 (and which were not undergoing redevelopment or significant renovation) increased 6.0%, from $42.73 to $45.31 during such periods. With respect to the Company's fourteen hotels not undergoing redevelopment or renovation during this period, (i.e., all hotels except the Doubletree-Santa Fe, New Mexico hotel, the Hampton Inn-Oakland, California hotel, and the four Cypress Inn hotels located in Washington and Oregon), REVPAR rose 8.8% from the third quarter of 1996, as compared to the corresponding period in 1995, from $44.19 to $48.08. REVPAR for the six hotels undergoing redevelopment or renovation (including the Holiday Inn in Steamboat Springs, Colorado; the Doubletree Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the Cypress Inn hotels as discussed above but, not including the Residence Inn in Highlands Ranch, Colorado which was under construction) decreased 12.8% from $45.13 to $39.37, for the third quarter of 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in 1995. The Company's strong portfolio performance was also impacted by less than satisfactory results from the Company's Doubletree hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Santa Fe market has experienced a recent down turn which resulted in a 17.1% decrease in REVPAR for this property for the third quarter of 1996 in comparison to the same period of 1995. However, such renovations are expected to generate increased revenue at these hotels beginning in the fourth quarter of 1996; and indeed, REVPAR gains for the Santa Fe property were 8.8% in October of 1996 due to the increased marketing efforts of the Lessee. Overall, comparing actual results for the third quarter of 1996 to pro forma results for the third quarter of 1995, revenues increased 59.3% from $2.7 million to $4.3 million and net income increased 33.3%, from $1.5 million to $2.0 million as a result of the Company's internal and external growth strategies, despite the fact that six hotels were undergoing redevelopment or renovation during the third quarter of 1996. Actual results for the third quarter of 1996 include the results of the ten hotels acquired by the Company in connection with its IPO in August 1995, plus the ten hotels subsequently acquired through September 30, 1996. Pro forma results for 1995 include the results of the ten hotels acquired by the Company in connection with the IPO. SEASONALITY AND DIVERSIFICATION Demand is affected by normally recurring seasonal patterns. Historically, the Company's portfolio of hotels as a whole has performed better in the first and third quarters due to the positive and negative effects of the winter season. Future acquisitions may further affect the seasonality of the Company's current portfolio. The Company has implemented a business strategy of franchise and geographic diversification. The following tables summarize certain information for the Company's hotels with respect to franchise affiliations and distribution of hotels throughout the western United States for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 15 16 FRANCHISE AFFILIATIONS (As of September 30, 1996) Percentage Percentage of Franchise System Rooms Of Rooms Gross Revenues Gross Revenues - --------------------- ----- ----- ----------- ------------- Courtyard by Marriott 279 10.7% $ 2,679,000 10.2% Comfort Suites 165 6.3 602,000 2.3 Hampton Inns 939 31.6 12,193,000 46.0 Holiday Inns 938 25.6 8,862,000 33.5 Residence Inns 78 3.0 28,000 .1 Doubletree Hotels 213 8.1 2,098,000 7.9 ----- ----- ----------- ----- 2,612 100.0% $26,462,000 100.0% ===== ===== =========== ===== GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSIFICATION (As of September 30, 1996) Percentage Percentage of State Rooms Of Rooms Gross Revenues Revenues - ---------- ----- ----- ----------- ------------- Arizona 118 4.5% $ 1,791,000 6.8% California 727 27.8 6,647,000 25.1 Colorado 753 28.8 9,510,000 35.9 New Mexico 213 8.2 2,097,000 7.9 Oregon 199 7.6 1,583,000 6.0 Utah 229 8.8 1,456,000 5.5 Washington 373 14.3 3,378,000 12.8 ----- ----- ----------- ----- Total 2,612 100.0% $26,462,000 100.0% ===== ===== =========== ===== GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSIFICATION (As of October 31, 1996) Percentage State Rooms Of Rooms - ---------- ----- ----- Arizona 645 20.5% California 727 23.2 Colorado 753 24.0 New Mexico 213 6.8 Oregon 199 6.3 Utah 229 7.3 Washington 373 11.9 ----- ----- Total 3,139 100.0% ===== ===== 16 17 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities. The Company's operating activities provide the principal source of cash to fund the Company's operating expenses, interest expense, recurring capital expenditures and dividend payments. The Company anticipates that its cash flow provided by leasing the hotels to the Lessee will provide the necessary funds on a short and long term basis to meet its operating cash requirements. The Company is required under the Percentage Leases to make available to the Lessee for the repair, replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment an amount equal to 4% of the room revenue per quarter on a cumulative basis, provided that such amount may be used for capital expenditures made by the Company with respect to the hotels. The Company expects that this amount will be adequate to fund such periodic repairs, replacements and refurbishments. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, capital redevelopment and renovation expenditures made by the Company amounted to $8.4 million, or 35.4% of room revenues totaling $23.7 million for the same period. Management estimates that recurring capital expenditures for its continuously owned and acquired hotels that have been recently redeveloped will be significantly less than 4% of room revenues in the next 12 months. Since inception, the Company has paid dividends and distributions totaling $6.1 million representing $0.23 per share on a quarterly basis. On October 18, 1996, the Company increased its regular quarterly dividend to $0.25 per share, an 8.7% increase. The dividend was declared payable on November 15, 1996 to shareholders of record on November 1, 1996. Cash flows from Investing and Financing Activities. Additionally, the Company intends to finance the acquisition of additional hotels, hotel renovations and non-recurring capital improvements principally through the line of credit with Bank One of Arizona, N.A. (the "Line of Credit") and, when market conditions warrant, to issue additional equity or debt securities. As of November 14, 1996, the Company had $25.7 million available on its $50 million line of credit. Interest accrues on advances under the Line of Credit at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.90%, and reduced to LIBOR plus 1.75% if the Company satisfies certain financial requirements. The Line of Credit provides for a $5 million working capital subfacility and a $5 million construction subfacility. The Company has the option each year to extend the two-year revolving term period by an additional year upon the payment of a 0.375% extension fee and certain other conditions. Upon termination of the revolving term period, the Company may under certain conditions, including payment of a 1% fee, convert the outstanding balance into a three-year term loan. The Line of Credit is guaranteed by Mr. Alter, Mr. Biederman and certain other individuals and is secured by first mortgages on 18 of its 23 hotels and may be secured by currently unencumbered or additional hotels acquired by the Company in the future. However, the Company has the option of owning hotels not subject to the lien securing the Line of Credit so long as no proceeds under the Line of Credit are used with respect to such hotels and any other lender loaning against such hotels limit its liens to only those hotels. This feature of the Line of Credit gives the Company the ability to separately finance on a long-term basis certain of its hotels. The Company has applied for a $9.9 million, 10-year fixed rate loan to be secured by the Hampton Inns in Denver, Colorado, and Mesa, Arizona. The Line of Credit may be retired in whole or in part from the proceeds of public or private issuances of equity or debt securities by the Company and may be refinanced in whole or in part with fixed-rate financing. However, because Messrs. Alter and Biederman and certain affiliates would suffer adverse tax consequences if the Company's mortgage indebtedness were reduced below $8.4 million, the Company does not anticipate reducing its mortgage indebtedness below this amount. The Company continues to pursue its strategy of redeveloping, renovating and repositioning under performing hotels. During the first three quarters of 1996, redevelopment and renovation work has substantially been completed at seven hotels at a cost of $11.6 million. The Company expects that redevelopment of six recently acquired hotels will be completed in 1997 for an amount up to approximately $8.0 million. The redevelopment and renovation program is expected to be funded entirely by excess operating cash flows and borrowings under the Line of Credit. Since the IPO, the Company has expended over $71.7 million in acquiring hotel assets. As part of its investment strategy, the Company plans to acquire additional hotels. Future acquisitions are expected to be funded through the use of the Line of Credit or other borrowing and the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. The Company's Articles of Incorporation limits consolidated indebtedness to 50% of the Company's investment in hotel properties, at cost on a consolidated basis, after giving effect to the Company's use of proceeds from any indebtedness. Management believes that it will have access to capital resources sufficient to satisfy the Company's cash requirements and to expand and develop its business in accordance with its strategy for future growth. 17 18 Inflation. Operators of hotels in general possess the ability to adjust room rates quickly. However, competitive pressures may limit the Lessee's ability to raise room rates in the face of inflation. FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO). Management believes that FFO is one measure of financial performance of an equity REIT such as the Company. On a pro forma basis, FFO (as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts) (1) for the third quarter of 1996 grew by 47.0% from $2.4 million to $3.5 million, as indicated in the following table: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 1996 1995 1996 1995 Actual Pro Forma Actual Pro Forma ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Income before minority interest $ 2,287,000 $1,852,000 $4,998,000 $4,935,000 Real estate related depreciation 1,211,000 528,000 3,057,000 1,561,000 ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Funds from operations $ 3,498,000 $2,380,000 $8,055,000 $6,496,000 =========== ========== ========== ========== Weighted average number of units 10,048,990 7,659,500 8,513,217 7,659,500 Dividends (2) $ 2,512,248 $6,075,099 FFO Payout Ratio 71.8% 75.4% FAD Payout Ratio 81.1% 85.5% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) With respect to the presentation of FFO, management elected early adoption of the "new definition" as recommended in the March 1995 NAREIT White Paper on Funds From Operations beginning January 1, 1995. Management and industry analysts generally consider funds from operations to be one measure of the financial performance of an equity REIT that provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITS and it is presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. Funds From Operations is defined as income before minority interest (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property and real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of financing costs). Funds From Operations does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Funds From Operating should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's financial performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. (2) Based on weighted average units outstanding. During the third quarter of 1996, the Company issued 4.6 million shares of common stock at $10.00 per share in a secondary public offering. The actual cash dividends and distributions to be paid on November 15, 1996, is $3,097,013 based on 12,388,050 million shares and units outstanding immediately after the secondary offering. The Lessee For a discussion of the Lessee's operations and a comparison of the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, see "Results of Operations of the Company." For the third quarter of 1996, the Lessee reported income of $25,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the total amount paid to the Lessee by the REIT in terms of net income earned by the Lessee, including the 2% management fee paid to the Management Company, was $526,000 which represented 2.0% of total revenues of $26.5 million for the period. Offsetting the $526,000, the Lessee expended $1.2 million for capitalized costs incurred by the Lessee during redevelopment of certain hotels during this nine month period. 18 19 ITEM 6.
