Exhibit 99

Forward-Looking Statements

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this
report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time.

Dependence on Others:  The Company's present growth strategy for development of
additional lodging and senior living facilities entails entering into various
arrangements with present and future property owners, including Host Marriott
Corporation.  There can be no assurance that any of the Company's current
strategic arrangements will be continued, or that the Company will be able to
enter into future collaborations.

Contract Terms for New Units:  The terms of the operating contracts,
distribution agreements and franchise agreements for each of the Company's
lodging facilities, retirement communities, and contract services units are
influenced by contract terms offered by the Company's competitors at the time
such agreements are entered into.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that
contracts entered into or renewed in the future will be on terms that are as
favorable to the Company as those under existing agreements.

Competition:  The profitability of hotels, vacation timeshare resorts and
retirement communities operated by the Company is subject to general economic
conditions, competition, the desirability of particular locations, the
relationship between supply of and demand for hotel rooms, vacation timeshare
resorts and senior living facilities, and other factors.  The Company generally
operates hotels, vacation timeshare resorts and retirement communities in
markets that contain numerous competitors, and the continued success of the
Company's hotels, vacation timeshare resorts and retirement communities in their
respective markets will be dependent, in large part, upon those facilities'
ability to compete in such areas as access, location, quality of accommodations,
amenities, specialized services (in the case of retirement communities), cost
and, to a lesser extent, the quality and scope of food and beverage facilities.

Supply and Demand:  During the 1980s, construction of lodging facilities in the
United States resulted in an excess supply of available rooms, and the
oversupply had an adverse effect on occupancy levels and room rates in the
industry.  Although the current outlook for the industry has improved, the
lodging industry may be adversely affected in the future by (i) national and
regional economic conditions, (ii) changes in travel patterns, (iii) taxes and
government regulations which influence or determine wages, prices, interest
rates, construction procedures and costs, and (iv) the availability of capital.
The Company's timeshare business is also subject to the same uncertainties, and
accordingly there can be no assurance that the present level of demand for
timeshare intervals will continue, or that there will not be an increase in the
supply of competitive timeshare units, which could reduce the prices at which
the Company is able to sell units.
