     approximately $61.4 million including the assumed debt of WestCoast

     The purchase price was paid all cash at closing. The source of funds

     Convertible Bonds of $7,000,000 issued to the sellers which pay a 7%
     interest rate and can be converted to common stock of the Company at a
     $15.00 per share price, assumed debt which existed in WestCoast Hotel
