NOTES TO COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited combined condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations have been made. It is suggested that the combined condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements and notes thereto included in the December 31, 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K. (2) Earnings per Common and Common Equivalent Share The Board of Directors authorized three-for-two stock splits effective in October 1993 and March 1994. Earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding, shareholders' equity and the following information have been adjusted to give effect to each of these distributions. The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used in the computation of earnings per share are as follows: Three months ended March 31 ------------------------- 1994 1993 ------------------------- Weighted average common shares issued. . . . . . . 32,111,364 32,111,364 Effect of treasury stock . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of LQP's operations have been included in the Company's combined results of operations since December 1, 1993. The remaining 18% of the Units were acquired on January 24, 1994 for approximately $9.3 million. The Company obtained funds to acquire the Units by borrowing $45.9 million under its existing credit facilities. (4) Contingencies In September 1993, a former officer of the Company filed suit against the Company and certain of its directors and their affiliate companies. The suit alleges breach of an employment agreement, misrepresentation, wrongful termination, self-dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, usurpation of corporate opportunity and tortious interference with contractual relations. The suits seeks compensatory damages of $2,500,000 and exemplary damages of $5,000,000. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this suit. The Company is also party to various lawsuits and claims generally incidental to its business. The ultimate disposition of these and the above discussed matters are not expected to have a significant adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 6 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT The Board of Directors La Quinta Inns, Inc. We have reviewed the combined condensed balance sheet of La Quinta Inns, Inc. as of March 31, 1994, and the related combined condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993. These combined condensed financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical review procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole, Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the combined condensed financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the combined balance sheet of La Quinta Inns, Inc. as of December 31, 1993 and the related combined statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 31, 1994, except as to the first paragraph of note 5, which is as of February 9, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those combined financial statements. Our report refers to a change in the method of accounting for income taxes. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying combined condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1993, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the combined balance sheet from which it has been derived. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP San Antonio, Texas April 19, 1994 7 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS On January 24, 1994, La Quinta Inns, Inc. ("La Quinta" or the "Company") concluded the acquisition of LQP which owned 31 inns in 15 states managed by La Quinta. In the first quarter of 1994, the operations of LQP were included in the combined financial statements of the Company. The Company accounted for its investment in LQP under the equity method in the first quarter of 1993. In addition, during 1993, the Company purchased, in separately negotiated transactions, the limited partners' interests in 14 of the Company's combined unincorporated partnerships and joint ventures which owned 44 inns. The Company continues to operate these properties as La Quinta inns. Also during 1993, the Company completed the acquisition of 11 inns and began renovating and converting them to the La Quinta brand. Conversion was completed during the first quarter of 1994. The following table describes the composition of inns in the La Quinta chain at: March 31, 1994 March 31, 1993 -------------------------- -------------------------- La Quinta La Quinta Equivalent Equivalent Inns Rooms Rooms(1) Inns Rooms Rooms(1) ---- ----- -------- ---- ----- -------- Owned 100% . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 167 21,143 21,143 89 11,456 11,456 Owned 40 - 80% . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 44 5,935 2,474 80 10,218 4,919 ---- ------ ------ --- ------ ------ Total Company owned and operated . . . . . . . . 211 27,078 23,617 169 21,674 16,375 Managed Inns . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 1,324 12 40 4,978 75 Licensed Inns. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 120 -- 3 366 -- ---- ------ ------ --- ------ ------ 222 28,522 23,629 212 27,018 16,450 ---- ------ ------ --- ------ ------ ---- ------ ------ --- ------ ------ (1) Represents the Company's proportionate ownership in system rooms. 8 In 1993, the Company began a system wide inn image enhancement program designed to increase revenue through the generation of new guest trials. The program is intended to give its properties a new, fresh, crisp appearance while preserving their unique character. It features new signage displaying a new logo as well as exterior and lobby upgrades including brighter colors, additional landscaping, enhanced guest entry and full lobby renovation with contemporary furnishings and seating area for continental breakfast. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 The following chart shows certain historical operating statistics and revenue data. References to the percentages of occupancy and the average daily rate refer to Company inns.

Revenues associated with LQP inns were $10,971,000 in the first quarter of 1994. Additionally, inns which have completed the reimaging process have shown improvements in both rate and occupancy. Other revenue decreased as a result of a reduction in management services revenue due to the acquisition of LQP and the elimination of related management fees charged by the Company. Direct expenses increased to $44,798,000, an increase of $11,369,000. The 1994 Three Months includes $7,393,000 incurred by the LQP inns. The $.40 increase in direct expenses per occupied room is primarily attributable to the Company's implementation of a complimentary continental breakfast at all La Quinta inns in March of 1993, increases in repairs and maintenance, utilities, outside services expense and is partially offset by decreases in salaries and property tax expense. Newly acquired inns typically incur more direct expenses as a percentage of revenue during the first twelve months of operations than inns which have been operating as a La Quinta for more than twelve months. During the 1994 Three Months, 11 of the Company's inns were in their first twelve months of operations. 9 Depreciation amortization and fixed asset retirements increased primarily due to the acquisition of LQP. Depreciation, amortization and fixed asset retirements expense also includes asset retirements associated with the Company's refurbishment program and other capital improvements. Operating income improved to $20,277,000 in the 1994 Three Months, an increase of $3,786,000, or 23% over the 1993 Three Months, as more fully described above. The decrease in interest income is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest earned on the note receivable from AEW Partners, L.P., due to the collection of the entire outstanding principal balance of that note in December 1993 and the corresponding reduction of interest thereon. Interest expense on the Senior Subordinated notes issued in May 1993 along with debt assumed with the acquisition of the LQP, and new debt related to the purchase of certain of the limited partners' interests resulted in the 21.7% increase in interest expense. The acquisition of the limited partners' interests resulted in a decrease in partners' equity in earnings and losses for the first quarter of 1994 compared to the first quarter of 1993. The cumulative effect of accounting change in the 1993 Three Months was the result of implementation of Statement of Financial Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". FINANCIAL CONDITION The decrease in the Company's cash and cash equivalents in the first three months of 1994 resulted from capital expenditures from the reimaging program, conversion of inns and the acquisition of the remaining Units of LQP during January of 1994. Major components of the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities were reductions in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred credits. The increase in investing activities in the 1994 Three Months over the prior year's comparable period is primarily a result of capital expenditures related to the reimaging program and the purchase of the remaining Units of LQP. Increases in borrowings on the Company's secured term credit facility resulted in a substantial portion of the increase in cash provided by financing activities for the 1994 Three Months, as compared to cash used by financing activities for the 1993 Three Months. At March 31, 1994, La Quinta Development Partnership, L.P. (the "Development Partnership") had approximately $15,838,000 in cash and cash equivalents to fund the Company's development program along with the continuing operations of the Development Partnership. The Company anticipates that the majority of its development activity in 1994 will occur through the Development Partnership. The Company anticipates that an additional $11,343,000 will be needed to complete the image enhancement program, at March 31, 1994. The Company intends to fund its image program through funds generated from operations and available on its Credit Facility. The Company does not anticipate the funding of this program will have an adverse effect on its ability to fund its operations. Funds on hand, anticipated from future cash flows and available on the Company's line of credit are expected to be sufficient to fund the Company's operating expenses, debt service, other capital requirements and its development program through at least the end of the first quarter of 1994. The Company will evaluate from time to time the necessity of other financing alternatives. 10 Part II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Actions for negligence or other tort claims occur routinely as an ordinary incident to the Company's business. Several lawsuits are pending against the Company which have arisen in the ordinary course of the business, but none of these proceedings involves a claim for damages (in excess of applicable excess umbrella insurance coverages) involving more than 10% of current assets of the Company (also see note 4 to combined condensed financial statements). The Company does not anticipate any amounts which it may be required to pay as a result of an adverse determination of such legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, or any other relief granted by reason thereof, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 11 ITEM 6 - EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a) EXHIBITS: A list of all exhibits filed or included as part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is as follows: Sequel Numbering Exhibits By Reference Descriptions System Page 15 Filed Herewith Letter from KPMG Peat 14 Marwick LLP dated November 4, 1994 27 Filed Herewith Financial Data Schedule 15 (b) Reports on Form 8-K: No Current Reports on Form 8-K have been filed during the period for which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed. 12 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
