INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors
Capstar Hotel Company:
 
    We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Embassy Suites
Philadelphia (the Hotel) as of December 31, 1996 and the related statements of
operations, owners' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Hotel's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
 
    We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Embassy Suites
Philadelphia as of December 31, 1996 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

EMBASSY SUITES PHILADELPHIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30,1997 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
(1) ORGANIZATION
 
    The Embassy Suites Philadelphia ("the Hotel") is located in downtown
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Hotel commenced operations in May of 1993 and
has 288 suites. The Hotel offers dining, meeting and banquet and recreational
facilities. The Hotel's business is generated from both business travelers and
tourists due to its proximity to the Pennsylvania convention center and numerous
tourist attractions.
 
    The Hotel is owned by BA Parkway Associates II, a general partnership. BA
Parkway Associates II was ultimately owned by Bell Atlantic Investments, Inc.
until April 30, 1997, when AAP Hotel Co. and LFREI Sub One, Inc., affiliates of
Atlantic American Properties, purchased the partnership interests.
 
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    The accounts of the Hotel are included in the financial records of BA
Parkway Associates II. The accompanying financial statements include the
accounts of the Hotel only, as if it was a separate legal entity, and have been
prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    The Hotel considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity
date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
INVENTORY
 
    Inventory, consisting primarily of linens and various other items, is stated
at cost, using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The carrying value of the Hotel
was adjusted upon the purchase of the partnership interests by Atlantic American
Properties (see Note 1) to the purchase price of $33,000,000.
 
    Depreciation is computed on the building using the straight-line method over
its useful life of 40 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated
using the straight-line method over 10 years.
 
    Management periodically evaluates potential permanent impairment of the net
carrying value of the Hotel. If the net carrying value of the Hotel exceeds its
fair value, the excess is charged to operations. No impairment losses were
recorded in 1997 or 1996.
 
BAD DEBT EXPENSE
 
    Bad debt expense is accounted for using the allowance method. Management
reviews the aging of accounts receivable and other current information on
debtors to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts. Write offs occur when
management deems a receivable uncollectible.
 
                                       6

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
REVENUE
 
    Revenue is earned through the operations of the Hotel and recognized when
earned.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
    The financial statements contain no provision for federal income taxes as
the Hotel is owned by a partnership and, therefore, all of the partnership's
income, losses, deductions, and credits for tax purposes are reported on the
