PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
------------------------------
Item 1. Financial Statements
----------------------------
As discussed in Note 1, on June 30, 1995, The Promus Companies Incorporated
(Parent) completed the transfer of the operations, assets and liabilities of its
hotel business (the Hotel Business), composed of three brands targeted at
specific market segments (Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites) to a
new publicly traded entity, Promus Hotel Corporation (Promus or the Company).
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements of Promus include
the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Hotel Business
on a stand-alone basis for the six months ended June 30, 1995, as well as actual
results of the Company as of December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended June
30, 1996.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of
Promus, a Delaware corporation, have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include all information and
notes necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. The financial statements are unaudited, but
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which
management considers necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. Results of operations for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of a full year of operations. These consolidated
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with Promus'
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Promus 1995
Annual Report to Stockholders.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
- ------------------------------------------------
On June 30, 1995, The Promus Companies Incorporated (Parent) completed the
transfer of the operations, assets and liabilities of its hotel business (the
Hotel Business), composed of three hotel brands targeted at specific market
segments (Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites) to a new publicly
traded entity, Promus Hotel Corporation (Promus or the Company). As approved by
Parent's Board of Directors and stockholders on May 26, 1995, this entity was
spun-off (the Spin-Off) from Parent and its stock was distributed to Parent's
stockholders on a one-for-two basis effective June 30, 1995 (the Distribution).
Concurrent with the Distribution, Parent changed its name to Harrah's
Entertainment, Inc.
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include the
assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of Parent's Hotel
Business on a stand-alone basis for the six months ended June 30, 1995, as well
as actual results of the Company as of December 31, 1995 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. The preparation of these financial statements required the
use of certain estimates by management in determining the Company's assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned companies and joint ventures over
which Promus has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for
using the equity method. Promus reflects its share of income before interest
expense of these nonconsolidated affiliates in revenues - other and its
proportionate share of interest expense of such nonconsolidated affiliates is
included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of income (see Note
6 for combined summarized financial information regarding these nonconsolidated
affiliates). Management believes Promus' inclusion of its proportionate share of
the interest expense of its equity investees in interest expense is the
preferable presentation due to the nature of its equity investments. Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year
presentation.

NOTE 2 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
- -----------------------------
Promus owns, operates and franchises the Embassy Suites, Embassy Vacation
Resorts, Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites and Hampton Inn & Suites hotel brands. The
Embassy Suites brand is a full-service hotel brand that management believes
comprises the largest all-suite upscale hotel system in the United States by
number of hotel suites and system revenue. Embassy Vacation Resorts is the
Company's newest hotel brand and represents Promus' entry into the timeshare
market. The Hampton Inn brand offers a limited-facility hotel and the Homewood
Suites brand offers residential-style accommodations designed for the extended
stay traveler. The Hampton Inn & Suites brand combines, in a single hotel,
Hampton-style rooms with two-room suites and a lodge-like common area.
Promus' primary focus is to develop, grow and support its franchise
business for all brands. Promus brand hotels are located in virtually every
state, the District of Columbia and five foreign countries. Promus charges each
franchisee royalty fees of generally four percent of suite or room rentals.
Royalty fees for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were based on
system-wide reported rooms revenues of $923.4 million (including $63.0 million
from company owned hotels) and $783.1 million, (including $59.6 million from
company owned hotels) respectively. In addition, Promus earns a licensing fee
for new licenses granted to franchisees when the franchise is approved. Promus
also receives franchise fees of generally two percent of net interval sales and
two percent of suite revenues related to Embassy Vacation Resort properties.
Promus operates 116 Promus-brand hotels (including one Embassy Vacation
Resort). Company operated properties include wholly-owned, partially owned
through joint ventures and hotels managed for third parties. Promus has followed
an asset strategy to own and manage a mix of Promus hotels that can positively
affect profits and enhance its role as franchisor for its brands. Management fee
income is based on a percentage of gross revenues, profits, or both, at the
related managed property.

NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM DEBT
- -----------------------
Parent Debt Allocation
----------------------
The Company's results of operations through June 30, 1995 reflect all
indebtedness, together with related interest expense, specifically identified
with Promus entities, as well as a pro rata portion of Parent's historical
corporate debt balance, unamortized deferred finance charges and interest
expense. Allocations of those amounts to Promus from Parent were based on the
percentage of Parent's historical corporate debt that was expected to be retired
using proceeds from Promus' new $350 million bank credit facility (the Promus
Facility). Parent's corporate interest expense, including amortization of
deferred finance costs, allocated to Promus before the Spin-Off was $5.5 million
and $10.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.
Interest Rate Agreements
------------------------
As of June 30, 1996, Promus was a party to several interest rate swap
agreements that help the Company manage the relative mix of its debt between
fixed and variable rate instruments. These agreements effectively modify the
interest characteristics of its outstanding debt without an exchange of the
underlying principal amount. Pursuant to the agreements, Promus receives a
variable interest rate tied to LIBOR in exchange for its payments at a fixed
interest rate. The fixed rates to be paid by Promus are summarized in the
following table.

NOTE 3 - LONG TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
- ----------------------------------
The differences to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate
swap agreements described above are accrued as an adjustment to interest expense
for the related debt. Changes in interest rates pursuant to the terms of these
interest rate agreements will have a corresponding effect on Promus' future cash
flows. These agreements contain a credit risk that the counterparties may be
unable to meet the terms of the agreements. Promus minimizes that risk by
evaluating the creditworthiness of its counterparties, which are limited to
major banks and financial institutions, and does not anticipate nonperformance
by the counterparties.
NOTE 4 - CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS
- --------------------------------
Contractual Commitments
-----------------------
Promus is liable under certain lease agreements pursuant to which it has
assigned the direct obligation to third party interests. Additionally, Promus
manages certain hotels for others under agreements that provide for payments or
loans to the hotel owners if stipulated levels of financial performance are not
maintained. The Company has also provided guarantees for certain loans related
to joint venture and other investments (see discussion regarding $25.0 million
loan guarantee related to the FelCor Agreements below). Promus believes the
likelihood is remote that material payments will be required under these
agreements. Promus' estimated maximum exposure under such agreements is
approximately $64.0 million over the next 30 years.
FelCor Agreements
-----------------
In May 1995, Promus entered into a Subscription Agreement with FelCor Suite
Hotels, Inc. and FelCor Suites Limited Partnership (FelCor) whereby Promus
agreed to purchase up to $25.0 million in FelCor limited partnership interests
to help fund the partnership's acquisition of all-suite upscale hotels to be
converted to the Embassy Suites brand. In September 1995, Promus entered into a
second agreement with FelCor in connection with FelCor's agreement to acquire
the Crown Sterling Suites hotel chain. FelCor is currently in the process of
converting 16 of the Crown Sterling Suites hotels they acquired (over 4,000
suites) to the Embassy Suites brand. In

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
- -------------------------------------------------
consideration, Promus agreed to make up to a $50.0 million investment in FelCor
common stock and has guaranteed repayment of a third party loan advanced
to FelCor that is not to exceed $25.0 million (which is included in the
$64.0 million estimate of maximum exposure under contractual commitments
discussed above). Hotels converted to the Embassy Suites brand under either of
these agreements will operate under 20-year license agreements, and 10-year
management contracts will be awarded to Promus. Subject to some restrictions,
the limited partnership interests may be converted to shares of FelCor common
stock on a one-for-one basis and the common stock may be sold on the open
market.
As of June 30, 1996, FelCor had acquired 24 all-suite hotel properties
(including 16 Crown Sterling Suites hotels) under these agreements. Of the eight
non-Crown Sterling Suites hotels acquired, five had been Embassy Suites hotels
before their acquisition, and two of those five were already being managed by
Promus. As of June 30, 1996, Promus managed all 24 properties (which include
5,765 suites), with nine of the Crown Sterling Suites hotels still in the
process of being converted to the Embassy Suites brand. Conversion of the
remaining properties is expected to be complete by the fall of 1996. Although
management fees are already being earned on all of these properties, franchise
royalties do not begin to accrue until the conversion is complete. As of June
30, 1996, Promus had funded $70.6 million of the total $75.0 million commitment.
Based on the market value of FelCor common stock as of June 30, 1996, Promus
recorded an unrealized gain on marketable equity securities of $12.4 million
(before tax) directly to stockholders' equity. This amount will change with
increases or decreases in the market value of FelCor common stock.
Equity Inns and Winston Hotels Agreements
-----------------------------------------
Promus has strategic development alliances with Equity Inns, Inc. (Equity
Inns), and Winston Hotels, Inc. (Winston Hotels) whereby Promus will invest up
to $15.0 million in both Equity Inns and Winston Hotels common stock as they
purchase existing or to be constructed Promus hotels from the Company. During
the second quarter two company owned properties, a Hampton Inn hotel in Michigan
and a Homewood Suites hotel in Connecticut, were sold to Equity Inns for cash
proceeds of $18.6 million. Simultaneously, Promus made a $4.0 million investment
in Equity Inns common stock.

PROMUS HOTEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
- -------------------------------------------------
The agreements provide for the sale of one additional company owned property at
a stated price and seven company approved projects at Promus' cost of
construction. In addition to the Homewood Suites hotel Equity Inns purchased
in the second quarter, they are the largest owner of Hampton Inn hotels, with
31 properties. Winston Hotels currently owns 13 Promus branded hotels. Equity
Inns and Winston Hotels have each expressed their intent to spend $100.0
million for development of Promus brand properties over the next few years.
Promus will receive 20-year license agreements and 10-year management
agreements for hotels developed or purchased pursuant to these agreements.
Litigation
----------
The Company is a party to various inquiries, administrative proceedings and
litigation relating to contracts, sales of property and other matters arising in
the normal course of business. While any proceeding or litigation has an element
of uncertainty, management believes that the final outcome of these matters will
not have a materially adverse effect upon Promus' consolidated financial
position or its results of operations.
Employment and Severance Agreements
-----------------------------------
Promus has severance agreements with 13 senior officers of the Company that
provide for a payment of 2.99 times the average annual cash compensation (salary
and bonus) paid to each executive for the five preceding calendar years,
including compensation paid during service with Parent. The agreements also
provide for accelerated payment of any compensation or awards payable to the
executives under any Promus incentive compensation or stock option plan in the
event of termination of an executive's employment, as described in the
agreements, subsequent to a change in control of Promus, as defined. The maximum
amount of compensation that would be payable under all agreements if a change in
control occurred and if the executives were terminated as of June 30, 1996,
would be approximately $22.7 million.

Promus self-insures various levels of general liability, workers'

accruals of estimated settlements for known claims, as well as accruals of
actuarial estimates of incurred but not reported claims. These estimates are
based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future
events. Changes in assumptions for such things as medical costs and legal
expenses, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates
to change in the near term.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
---------------------------------------------
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
-------------------------------------------------
On June 30, 1995, The Promus Companies Incorporated (Parent) completed the
transfer of the operations, assets and liabilities of its hotel business (the
Hotel Business), composed of three hotel brands targeted at specific market
segments (Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites) to a new publicly
traded entity, Promus Hotel Corporation (Promus or the Company). As approved by
Parent's Board of Directors and stockholders on May 26, 1995, this entity was
spun-off (the Spin-Off) from Parent and its stock was distributed to Parent's
stockholders on a one-for-two basis effective June 30, 1995 (the Distribution).
Concurrent with the Distribution, Parent changed its name to Harrah's
Entertainment, Inc.
Promus owns, operates and franchises the Embassy Suites, Embassy Vacation
Resorts, Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites and Hampton Inn & Suites hotel brands. The
Embassy Suites brand is a full-service hotel brand that management believes
comprises the largest all-suite upscale hotel system in the United States by
number of hotel suites and system revenue. Embassy Vacation Resorts is the
Company's newest hotel brand and represents Promus' entry into the timeshare
market. The Hampton Inn brand offers a limited-facility hotel and the Homewood
Suites brand offers residential-style accommodations designed for the extended
stay traveler. The Hampton Inn & Suites brand combines, in a single hotel,
Hampton-style rooms with two-room suites and a lodge-like common area.
Promus' primary focus is to develop, grow and support its franchise
business for all brands. Promus brand hotels are located in virtually every
state, the District of Columbia and five foreign countries. Promus charges each
franchisee royalty fees of generally four percent of suite or room rentals.
Royalty fees for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were based on
system-wide reported rooms revenues of $923.4 million (including $63.0 million
from company owned hotels) and $783.1 million, (including $59.6 million from
company owned hotels) respectively. In addition, Promus earns a licensing fee
for new licenses granted to franchisees when the franchise is approved. Promus
also receives franchise fees of generally two percent of net interval sales and
two percent of suite revenues related to Embassy Vacation Resort properties.
16
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Promus operates 116 Promus-brand hotels (including one Embassy Vacation
Resort). Company operated properties include wholly-owned, partially owned
through joint ventures and hotels managed for third parties. Promus has followed
an asset strategy to own and manage a mix of Promus hotels that can positively
affect profits and enhance its role as franchisor for its brands. Management fee
income is based on a percentage of gross revenues, profits, or both, at the
related managed property.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
The principal factors affecting Promus' results are: continued growth in
the number of hotels; occupancies and room rates achieved by the hotel brands;
number and relative mix of owned, managed and franchised hotels; and Promus'
ability to manage costs. The number of rooms/suites at franchised and managed
properties and revenue per available room/suite (RevPAR/S) significantly affect
Promus' results because franchise royalty and management fees are based upon a
percentage of rooms/suites revenues. Increases in franchise and management fee
revenues have a disproportionate favorable impact on Promus' operating margin
due to minimal incremental costs associated with these revenues.
Actual historical results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 were as follows (in millions, except percentages and per
share data):

17
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Because Promus began operations as a public company on July 1, 1995,
comparison with historical results is difficult. The most notable differences
between years relate to the incremental stand alone public company costs
incurred in the first six months of 1996, and that prior to the Spin-Off,
interest was allocated to Promus from Parent at Parent's higher overall
borrowing rate. In order to present the Company's 1995 results of operations on
a pro forma basis to achieve better comparability between years, the following
adjustments were made (in millions):

18
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
The 1996 increases in revenues, operating income and operating margins are
primarily a function of the approval and addition of new franchised hotels,
additional management contracts (primarily as a result of the FelCor Agreements
- - see Development and Capital Spending), system-wide increases in ADR and cost
containment. In addition, the May 1996 sale of two company owned hotels (one
Hampton Inn and one Homewood Suites), the September 1995 opening of a new
Homewood Suites hotel, and one Embassy Suites restaurant lease termination in
October 1995, impact the year over year comparisons.
Company owned hotel revenues increased 4.0% or $1.4 million and 4.5% or
$3.0 million over 1995 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996,
respectively. On a comparable hotel basis (which includes only those hotels open
for both years), second quarter 1996 RevPAR/S increased 6.3%, 6.2% and 6.6% over
the same period last year at Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites
hotels, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, RevPAR/S at
Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites hotels increased 5.6%, 5.3% and
5.7% over 1995 on a comparable basis, respectively. Company owned hotel expenses
increased 4.1% or $0.8 million and 3.2% or $1.2 million for the second quarter
and first six months of 1996 compared to the same periods last year.
Franchise and management fees increased 26.6% or $5.5 million and 24.4% or
$9.3 million over 1995 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996,
respectively. As of June 30, 1996, Promus' combined hotel system had grown to
include 729 properties and 96,087 rooms/suites (not including Embassy Vacation
Resort properties), representing 17.6% and 15.9% increases over June 30, 1995,
respectively. Although comparable system occupancy rates generally decreased
slightly across brands, average daily rates (ADR) have consistently increased,
resulting in higher RevPAR/S. The system expansion plus continued year over year
RevPAR/S increases are the primary elements causing total system room revenues
to increase 18.7% and 17.9% for the second quarter and first six months of 1996,
over the comparable periods last year, to $496.9 million and $923.4 million,
respectively. With the closing of the 16th and final Crown Sterling Suites hotel
property by FelCor in May 1996, rooms under management contracts as of June 30,
1996 have increased 76.6% over prior year. This continued unit growth in the
franchise systems and the expansion of hotels under management contract, coupled
with the continued focus on rate growth and cost management, were the primary
contributors to the Company's higher revenues, margins and operating income as
compared to prior year.
19
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Net income on a pro forma basis increased 64.5% and 53.0% over 1995 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996. The 1996 results include a pretax
property transaction gain of $4.2 million on the sale of a Hampton Inn hotel and
a Homewood Suites hotel to Equity Inns (see Development and Capital Spending).
Excluding property transactions from all periods, net income increased 43.8%, or
$4.8 million and 41.5% or $8.5 million over 1995 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996, respectively.
The following comparison of expenses and other items is based on actual
historical results (in millions, except percentages):
Second Quarter Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, June 30, Inc/ June 30, June 30, Inc/
1996 1995 (Dec) 1996 1995 (Dec)
------- ------- ----- ------- ------- -----
Interest expense $(7.7) $(8.1) (4.9)% $(15.4) $(16.4) (6.1)%
Interest and other income 2.4 0.4 N/M 4.6 .7 N/M
Effective tax rate 41.1% 42.1% (1.0)pts 41.1% 42.1% (1.0)pts
Interest expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995,
includes the pro rata allocation of corporate interest by Parent related to the
debt that was expected to be retired in connection with the Spin-Off using funds
drawn on the Company's new $350 million bank credit facility (the Promus
Facility), in addition to Promus' share of interest expense attributable to its
nonconsolidated affiliates (including joint ventures) and other specific
hotel-related debt. Interest expense for the second quarter and first half of
1996 decreased compared to 1995 due primarily to lower actual interest rates
obtained under the Promus Facility as compared to Parent's overall borrowing
rate used to allocate corporate interest expense before the Spin-Off, in
addition to a decrease in interest expense attributable to the Company's
nonconsolidated subsidiaries, partially offset by an increase in interest
expense related to deferred compensation balances. The decrease in
nonconsolidated subsidiaries' interest expense results primarily from the July
1995 early debt extinguishment and accompanying $9.0 million investment the
Company made in an Embassy Suites joint venture, and successfully securing more
favorable terms on several other joint ventures' debt instruments over the past
year.
20
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Interest and other income for the second quarter and first six months of
1996 increased over 1995 due primarily to increased dividend income associated
with the Company's REIT investments (see Development and Capital Spending), as
well as interest income on mezzanine loans to franchisees and interest charged
on Promus' investment in the franchise system.
The effective tax rate for all periods is higher than the federal statutory
rate primarily due to state income taxes.
DEVELOPMENT AND CAPITAL SPENDING
- --------------------------------
Hotel Development
-----------------
There were 60 net hotel additions to the hotel systems during the first
half of 1996 compared to 50 in the same period last year. This continued
development growth is particularly impressive considering that, per the latest
available information provided to Smith Travel Research at June 1996, Promus
hotel brands had a 2.8% share of the entire United States room supply, and
accounted for 13.1% of new rooms added to the market from ground-up construction
during the first six months of 1996. This growth occurred primarily in the
Hampton Inn brand. As of June 30, 1996, 131 properties were under construction
or in the process of being converted to a Promus brand (excluding Embassy
Vacation Resorts), 128 of which will operate under franchise agreements as
Promus brands: 91 Hampton Inn hotels; 17 Embassy Suites hotels; 12 Hampton Inn &
Suites hotels and 8 Homewood Suites hotels. These 131 properties will add over
15,000 rooms or suites to the Promus hotel system. The Company had 78 properties
under construction at the same time last year. Promus had an additional 193
hotels approved and in the design phase at June 30, 1996, although construction
had not yet begun.
Promus opened four Hampton Inn & Suites hotels in the first six months of
1996. The Hampton Inn & Suites brand combines, in a single hotel, Hampton-style
rooms with two-room suites and a lodge-like common area. Of the 193 hotels in
the design phase at June 30, 1996, 28 were Hampton Inn & Suites hotels. Promus
currently plans to build approximately 3-4 Homewood Suites or Hampton Inn &
Suites properties per year at an average cost of approximately $7-10 million per
property. Promus will build an additional 4-6 properties per year, some or all
of which may be sold to either Equity Inns, Inc., or Winston Hotels, Inc., upon
completion (see discussion below). The Company plans to continue its general
strategy of growing its brands primarily through franchise and management
contracts. As in the past, company owned hotels and new development projects
may be sold to franchisees and the proceeds used to fuel
21
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
additional system growth, develop new concepts or for other corporate purposes.
The Company also has three franchised Embassy Vacation Resort (EVR)
properties. The EVR property in Poipu on the Hawaiian island of Kauai was
converted to the EVR brand and has 207 suites. The property in Orlando, Florida,
which is under construction, has 72 suites open and will add an additional 298
suites over the next 4 years. Construction is underway on the property in South
Lake Tahoe, California, which will add 210 suites over the next 5 years. Sales
of timeshare intervals are underway at all three properties.
FelCor Agreements
-----------------
In May 1995, Promus entered into a Subscription Agreement with FelCor Suite
Hotels, Inc. and FelCor Suites Limited Partnership (FelCor) whereby Promus
agreed to purchase up to $25.0 million in FelCor limited partnership interests
to help fund the partnership's acquisition of all-suite upscale hotels to be
converted to the Embassy Suites brand. In September 1995, Promus entered into a
second agreement with FelCor in connection with FelCor's agreement to acquire
the Crown Sterling Suites hotel chain. FelCor is currently in the process of
converting 16 of the Crown Sterling Suites hotels they acquired (over 4,000
suites) to the Embassy Suites brand. In consideration, Promus agreed to make up
to a $50.0 million investment in FelCor common stock and has guaranteed
repayment of a third party loan advanced to FelCor that is not to exceed
$25.0 million. Hotels converted to the Embassy Suites brand under either of
these agreements will operate under 20-year license agreements, and 10-year
management contracts will be awarded to Promus. Subject to some restrictions,
the limited partnership interests may be converted to shares of FelCor common
stock on a one-for-one basis and the common stock may be sold on the open
market.
As of June 30, 1996, FelCor had acquired 24 all-suite hotel properties
(including 16 Crown Sterling Suites hotels) under these agreements. Of the eight
non-Crown Sterling Suites hotels acquired, five had been Embassy Suites hotels
before their acquisition, and two of those five were already being managed by
Promus. As of June 30, 1996, Promus managed all 24 properties (which include
5,765 suites), with nine of the Crown Sterling Suites hotels still in the
process of being converted to the Embassy Suites brand. Conversion of the
remaining properties is expected to be complete by the fall of 1996. Although
management fees are already being earned on all of these properties, franchise
royalties do not begin to accrue until the conversion is complete. As of June
30, 1996, Promus had funded $70.6 million of the total
22
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
$75.0 million commitment. Based on the market value of FelCor common stock as of
June 30, 1996, Promus recorded an unrealized gain on marketable equity
securities of $12.4 million (before tax) directly to stockholders' equity. This
amount will change with increases or decreases in the market value of FelCor
common stock.
Equity Inns and Winston Hotels Agreements
-----------------------------------------
Promus has strategic development alliances with Equity Inns, Inc. (Equity
Inns), and Winston Hotels, Inc. (Winston Hotels) whereby Promus will invest up
to $15.0 million in both Equity Inns and Winston Hotels common stock as they
purchase existing or to be constructed Promus hotels from the Company. During
the second quarter two company owned properties, a Hampton Inn hotel in Michigan
and a Homewood Suites hotel in Connecticut, were sold to Equity Inns for cash
proceeds of $18.6 million. Simultaneously, Promus made a $4.0 million investment
in Equity Inns common stock. The agreements provide for the sale of one
additional company owned property at a stated price and seven company approved
projects at Promus' cost of construction. In addition to the Homewood Suites
hotel Equity Inns purchased in the second quarter, they are the largest owner
of Hampton Inn hotels, with 31 properties. Winston Hotels currently owns 13
Promus branded hotels. Equity Inns and Winston Hotels have each expressed their
intent to spend $100.0 million for development of Promus brand properties over
the next few years. Promus will receive 20-year license agreements and 10-year
management agreements for hotels developed or purchased pursuant to these
agreements.
Mezzanine Financing Program
---------------------------
To encourage growth (primarily in the Hampton Inn & Suites and Homewood
Suites brands) in light of limited available financing for new hotel
construction, Promus developed a mezzanine financing program. Under the program
Promus provides conservatively underwritten secondary financing to franchisees.
A minimum of 20 percent equity is required by the borrower, and the investment
must meet certain defined underwriting criteria. The terms of the first mortgage
and the mezzanine financing must be acceptable to Promus and the first mortgage
lender, with whom Promus will enter into an inter-creditor agreement. Promus
provided $2.9 million in mezzanine loans during the first six months of 1996,
and anticipates providing an additional $10.0 million during 1996. Additionally,
$1.5 million was paid off during the first half of the year. Outstanding loans
bear interest at rates ranging from 10.0% to 10.25%.
23
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Investment in Franchise System
------------------------------
Additional investments in the franchise system are primarily attributable
to the addition of new system hotels and enhancements made to the systems
already in place at existing hotels. Seasonal fluctuations in customer traffic,
which are higher during the summer months, and a concentration of national media
advertising expenses in the early part of the year generally result in higher
net advances made by Promus to the franchise system funds. As of June 30, 1996,
the Company had incurred $5.6 million and plans to spend an additional
$12.5 million before the end of the year on franchise system expansion and
enhancements.
Other
-----
Ongoing refurbishment of Promus' existing company owned hotel properties to
maintain the quality standards set for those properties will continue in 1996 at
an estimated annual cost of approximately $11.0 million. During the first six
months of 1996, $5.5 million in costs had been incurred for hotel refurbishment.
As of June 30, 1996, Promus had incurred $5.5 million in costs to renovate
its corporate headquarters. An additional $5.0 million is estimated to complete
the renovation by year-end 1996.
Cash necessary to finance projects currently under development, as well as
additional projects to be developed by Promus, will be made available from
operating cash flows, the Promus Facility (see Liquidity and Capital
Resources), joint venture partners, specific project financing, sales of
existing hotel assets and, if necessary, Promus debt and equity offerings.
Promus' capital expenditures totaled $76.3 million during the first half of
1996. The Company expects to spend between $160.0 million and $180.0 million
during 1996 to fund hotel development, to refurbish existing facilities, for
investments in the common stock of FelCor, Equity Inns and Winston Hotels, for
hotel business systems, to make advances under mezzanine loan agreements and for
other corporate related projects. However, Promus expects to receive proceeds
from additional hotel sales to Equity Inns and Winston Hotels over the next 18
months.
24
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The accompanying financial statements represent the portion of Parent's
historical revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows associated
with its hotel operations through June 30, 1995, before becoming a stand alone
company on July 1, 1995. The 1995 year to date results of operations and cash
flows are not necessarily indicative of Promus' future results as a separate
corporation. The most significant items that will affect liquidity and capital
resources as a result of the Spin-Off are incremental costs associated with
operating as a stand-alone company, a decrease in the Company's average
borrowing rate, and Promus' payment of state and federal income taxes and
interest expense subsequent to the Distribution (Parent historically paid both).
Cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
1996, were $40.8 million, compared with $31.9 million for the same period last
year. This increase primarily results from improved operations. Earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization plus cash distributions from
nonconsolidated affiliates less earnings from nonconsolidated affiliates
(EBITDA) is a supplemental financial measurement used by management as well as
by industry analysts to evaluate operations. It should not be construed as an
alternative to operating income (as an indicator of operating performance) or to
cash flows from operating activities (as a measure of liquidity) as determined
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A comparison of
EBITDA and the related margins for the six months ended June 30 is as follows
(dollars in millions):
Inc/
1996 1995 (Dec)
----- ----- -----
EBITDA $76.9 $56.8 35.4%
EBITDA margin 58.4% 48.1% 10.3pts
EBITDA to interest paid 7.8 5.7 36.8%
On June 30, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficit of
$28.7 million which is a $2.7 million improvement over the deficit at
December 31, 1995. The working capital deficit results primarily from
Promus' cash management program that calls for all excess cash to pay
down amounts outstanding under the Promus Facility. Therefore, the Company
does not believe that the current ratio is an appropriate measure of its
short-term liquidity without considering availability under the Promus
Facility.
25
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
During 1995 the Company entered into the Promus Facility which consists of
two agreements, the significant terms of which are as follows:
Total Maturity Interest Facility
Facility Date Rate Fees
------------ ------------- -------------- --------------
Base Rate, as
defined, or
Five-year LIBOR +30 0.15% of the
Revolver $300,000,000 June 30, 2000 basis points total facility
Base Rate, as
defined, or
Extendible LIBOR +32.5 0.125% of the
Revolver $ 50,000,000 June 4, 1997 basis points total facility
The Extendible Revolver is a 364-day facility with annual renewals and may
be converted into a two-year term loan with equal amortizing payments over such
two-year period. Facility fees and interest on Base Rate loans are paid
quarterly. The agreements contain a tiered scale for facility fees and the
applicable LIBOR spread (current rates for both reflected above) that is based
on the more favorable of Promus' current credit rating (Investment Grade rating
by both Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's) or the leverage ratio,
as defined. They also contain provisions that restrict certain investments,
limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends,
and require that certain performance ratios be maintained. As of June 30, 1996,
Promus was in compliance with all such covenants.
The Five-Year Revolver includes a sublimit for letters of credit of
$20.0 million. At June 30, 1996, approximately $11.2 million in letters
of credit were outstanding under this agreement (related primarily to the
Company's self-insurance reserves). There was approximately $96.4 million
of availability under the Promus Facility as of June 30, 1996. The remaining
borrowing capacity available under the Promus Facility is available for
working capital, hotel development and other general corporate purposes.
Both the Extendible Revolver and the Five-Year Revolver are unsecured.
As of June 30, 1996, Promus was a party to several interest rate swap
agreements that bear a total notional amount of $100.0 million. The effect of
the swap agreements was to convert a portion of the Company's variable rate debt
under the Promus Facility to a fixed rate. The weighted average effective fixed
rate pursuant to the agreements, which expire between December 1998 and March
2000, was approximately 7.3% at June 30, 1996.
26
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
RELATIONSHIP WITH PARENT
- ------------------------
For the purpose of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between
Promus and Parent after the Distribution and to provide mechanisms for an
orderly transition, Parent and Promus have entered into various agreements and
adopted policies to govern their future relationship. Management believes that
the agreements are fair to both parties and contain terms comparable to those
which would have been reached in arm's-length negotiations with unaffiliated
parties (although comparisons are difficult with respect to certain agreements
that relate to the specific circumstances of the Distribution).
TAX SHARING AGREEMENT
- ---------------------
In connection with the Spin-Off, Promus and Parent entered into a tax
sharing agreement that defines each company's rights and obligations with
respect to deficiencies and refunds of federal, state and other income or
franchise taxes relating to Promus' business for tax years prior to the
Distribution and with respect to certain tax attributes of Promus after the
