PART I

ITEMS 1 & 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES

Interstate Hotels Corporation (together with its subsidiaries and
predecessors, the "Company") was formed pursuant to a series of events
culminating in the spin-off of the Company's operations from Wyndham
International, Inc., formerly Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. ("Wyndham"), on
June 18, 1999. On June 2, 1998, Interstate Hotels Company (together with its
subsidiaries, "Old Interstate") merged into Wyndham (the "Merger"). Prior to the
Merger, Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott") filed a lawsuit to stop the
closing of the Merger as a result of a dispute over certain franchise agreements
between Marriott and Old Interstate. On June 18, 1999, pursuant to a settlement
agreement with Marriott, Wyndham transferred to the Company, which was then a
newly formed corporation, the third-party hotel management business of Old
Interstate, equity interests in The Charles Hotel Complex, a hotel, retail and
office complex located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and long-term leasehold
interests in 79 hotels. Wyndham then spun-off the Company to its shareholders
(the "Spin-off"). In connection with the Spin-off, Marriott purchased 4% of the
Company's common stock, Wyndham retained 4% of the Company's common stock, and
the remaining 92% of the Company's common stock was distributed to Wyndham's
shareholders. In addition, Wyndham continued to own a 55% non-controlling
ownership interest in Interstate Hotels, LLC ("IH LLC"), a subsidiary of the
Company and the successor to the third-party hotel management business and
leasehold interests conducted by Old Interstate prior to the Merger.

The Company is one of the largest independent hotel management companies in
the United States based on number of properties, number of rooms and total
revenues produced for owners. At December 31, 1999, the Company managed, leased
or performed related services for 158 hotels with a total of 29,379 rooms in 37
states in the United States, and in Canada, the Caribbean and Russia. The
Company operates these hotels under a variety of major brand names, including
AmeriSuites, Colony, Comfort Inn, Courtyard by Marriott, Embassy Suites,
Fairfield Inn by Marriott, Hampton Inn, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Homewood Suites,
Marriott, Radisson, Residence Inn by Marriott, Sheraton and Westin. The Company
is the largest franchisee of upscale hotels in the Marriott system, operating 16
hotels with 5,294 rooms bearing the Marriott flag, and is the largest franchisee
and independent manager in the Hampton Inn system, operating 60 hotels with
7,491 rooms bearing the Hampton Inn flag.

The Company operates its hotels under two separate operating
segments -- Interstate, which operates luxury and upscale hotels, and
Crossroads, which operates mid-scale, upper economy and budget hotels.

On June 18, 1999, the Company sold substantially all of its equity
interests in The Charles Hotel Complex for $19.25 million, and on November 1,
1999, the Company acquired the 156-suite Pittsburgh Airport Residence Inn by
Marriott for a total acquisition cost, including closing costs, of $13.0
million. In the first quarter of 2000, the Company has entered into new
management contracts for and commenced management of nine mid-scale, upper
economy and budget hotels and one luxury hotel. The Company has also entered
into management contracts to manage five hotels which are currently scheduled to
open in either 2000 or 2001.

In 1999, the Company incurred an impairment loss of $16.4 million related
to its leased hotel intangible assets of 42 leased hotels included in the
mid-scale, upper economy and budget hotels segment. The impairment loss was the
result of a permanent impairment of the future profitability of these hotels for
the remainder of the hotel lease contract terms. These hotels had experienced
lower than expected operating cash flows during 1999, primarily due to decreased
occupancy rates and higher operating costs resulting from significant
construction that has occurred within this industry segment. This recent
construction has caused a significant over-supply of mid-scale, upper economy
and budget hotels in certain markets. The long-term impact of this over-supply
on the profitability of the Company's leased hotels was determined and
quantified as a result of a negative trend in operating statistics and higher
operating costs increasing through the fourth quarter of 1999 and during the
completion of the Company's budgeting process in the fourth quarter of 1999.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is named as a defendant
in legal proceedings resulting from incidents at the hotels it operates. In
addition, legal proceedings were or may be commenced against Old Interstate in
the ordinary course of its business. To the extent that such legal proceedings
relate to operations that are now conducted by the Company, the Company will
succeed to any liabilities resulting from such legal proceedings, and under the
terms of the Spin-off, the Company is required to indemnify Wyndham with respect
thereto, whether arising before or after the Spin-off. The Company maintains
liability insurance, requires hotel owners to maintain adequate insurance
coverage and is generally entitled to indemnification from third-party hotel
owners for lawsuits and damages against it in its capacity as a hotel manager.
Old Interstate had similar arrangements prior to the Merger. In addition, in
connection with the Spin-off, Wyndham is agreed to indemnify the Company against
liabilities relating to, among other things, the assets of Old Interstate that
Wyndham retained. As a result, the Company believes that the legal proceedings
to which it is subject will not have a material effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders during
the fourth quarter of 1999.

(1) Represents the sum of the balances from the predecessor for the period from
January 1, 1998 to June 1, 1998 and the successor for the period from June
2, 1998 to December 31, 1998.

(2) Represents a non-recurring expense related to the issuance of 785,533 shares
of common stock to executives and key employees of Old Interstate in
consideration for the cancellation of stock options issued by one of Old
Interstate's predecessors in 1995.

(3) Represents a non-cash impairment charge on the Company's leased hotel
intangible assets resulting from a permanent impairment of the future
profitability of 42 of the Company's leased hotels, which experienced lower
than expected operating cash flows during 1999, primarily due to decreased
occupancy rates and higher operating costs caused by a significant
over-supply of mid-scale, upper economy and budget hotels in certain
markets.

(4) Represents a loss resulting from the sale of the Company's equity interests
in The Charles Hotel Complex on June 18, 1999, which was allocated 100% to
Wyndham through minority interest.

(5) Prior to 1996, Old Interstate and its predecessors were organized as S
corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies and, accordingly,
were not subject to federal or significant state income taxes.

(6) EBITDA represents earnings (losses) before interest, income tax expense
(benefit), depreciation and amortization and the loss on impairment of
investment in hotel lease contracts. The 1998 and 1999 pro forma EBITDA was
calculated based on the Company's 45% share of EBITDA for the full year, and
historical 1999 EBITDA was calculated based on the Company's 45% share of
EBITDA for the period from June 18, 1999 to December 31, 1999. Management
believes that EBITDA is a useful measure of operating performance because it
is industry practice to evaluate hotel properties based on operating income
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which is generally
equivalent to EBITDA, and EBITDA is unaffected by the debt and equity
structure of the property owner. EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, may
not be consistent with computations of EBITDA by other companies. EBITDA
does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally
accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of cash
available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income under generally accepted accounting principles for
purposes of evaluating the Company's results of operations.

provides management or related services.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

In addition to historical information, this Report contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 and information based on the beliefs of the Company's management, as well
as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company's
management. When used herein, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are
expected to," "will continue," "anticipates," "believes," "intends,"
"estimates," "projects" or similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or
the Company's management, are intended to identify these forward-looking
statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause the Company's business and results of operations to differ materially from
those reflected in the Company's forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They
are subject to the Company:

- reversing the current negative trend in its business and financial
results;

- successfully implementing its business strategy;

- limiting the costs and realizing the expected benefits of that strategy;
and

- generating sufficient cash flow to fund its lease payments, debt service
requirements, working capital needs and other significant expenditures.

The Company's forward-looking statements are based on trends that the
Company's management anticipates in the lodging industry and the effect on those
trends of such factors as industry capacity, the seasonal nature of the lodging
industry, product demand and pricing.

The following discussion and analysis includes discussion and analysis of
the Company's pro forma financial position and results of operations in addition
to its historical data. The pro forma discussion includes the effects of the
Spin-off, the sale of equity interests in The Charles Hotel Complex and certain
other adjustments as if all of the transactions had occurred on January 1, 1998.
Such other adjustments principally include the elimination and addition of
certain management fee and other fee revenues related to Wyndham-owned hotels,
the management of which was transferred to Wyndham, Marriott or the Company as a
result of the Spin-off. The adjustments also include the elimination of a $2.0
million one-time charge for additional incentive lease expense for 1999 paid in
settlement of a dispute with Equity Inns, Inc. resulting from the Merger, and
the addition of minority interest to reflect Wyndham's 55% non-controlling
interest in IH LLC prior to the Spin-off. In management's opinion, all material
pro forma adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these transactions
have been made. The pro forma information does not include earnings on the
Company's pro forma cash and cash equivalents or certain one-time charges to
income relating to the Merger. Management of the Company believes that the pro
forma discussion is meaningful because the pro forma information presents a
year-to-year comparison of the financial position and results of operations of
the Company that reflects the previously mentioned transactions. However, the
pro forma information does not purport to present what the actual results of
operations of the Company would have been if the previously mentioned
transactions had occurred on such date or to project the results of operations
of the Company for any future period.

PRO FORMA YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO PRO FORMA YEAR ENDED DECEMBER
31, 1998

Lodging revenues, which consist of rooms, food and beverage and other
departmental revenues from the leased hotels and one hotel acquired by the
Company on November 1, 1999, increased slightly on a pro forma basis to $194.4
million in 1999. This increase was partially due to revenues of $0.4 million for
the acquired hotel. The increase was offset by the net loss of ten hotel
operating leases since January 1, 1998, increased competition and general
negative trends in the limited-service hotel sector. In addition, some of the
Company's leased hotels underwent renovations, which reduced rooms available and
negatively impacted operating results.

The average daily room rate for the leased hotels increased by 6.6%, from
$71.98 during 1998 to $76.76 during 1999, and the average occupancy rate
decreased to 65.0% during 1999 from 68.2% during 1998. This resulted in a slight
increase in room revenue per available room to $49.92 during 1999. The operating
results of
7
9

the Company's leased hotels were consistent with the current trends within the
lodging industry. The increase in the average daily room rate primarily resulted
from inflationary rate increases, and the decrease in the average occupancy rate
resulted from both an increase of new supply within the lodging industry and the
renovations noted above.

Pro forma net management fees decreased by $2.0 million, or 6.5%, from
$31.0 million in 1998 to $29.0 million in 1999. This decrease was due to the net
loss of 24 management contracts since January 1, 1998, primarily as a result of
the divestiture of hotels by third-party owners. Contributing to the net loss of
management contracts was the uncertainty surrounding the timing and completion
of the Merger and subsequent Spin-off, which impaired the Company's ability to
add new management contracts. Pro forma other fees decreased by $3.7 million, or
23.5%, from $15.7 million in 1998 to $12.0 million in 1999. This decrease was
due to the decrease in the total number of hotels operated by the Company in
1999 as compared to 1998. A significant portion of this decrease resulted from a
decrease in pro forma insurance revenues, which decreased by $1.4 million from
1998 to 1999. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the total
number of hotels operated by the Company in 1999 as compared to 1998 and a
reduction in the amount of financial indemnity revenue for the Company's
self-insured health and welfare plan.

Lodging expenses consist of rooms, food and beverage, property costs and
other departmental expenses from the leased hotels and one hotel acquired by the
Company on November 1, 1999. Pro forma lodging expenses increased by $6.9
million, or 6.8%, from $100.6 million in 1998 to $107.5 million in 1999. This
increase was partially due to incremental expenses related to the acquired
hotel. For the leased hotels, increased competition resulting from an increased
supply of limited-service hotels in certain markets required higher operating
costs to maintain revenue levels during 1999. In addition, the Company entered
into leases for two newly constructed hotels during 1999 which incurred expenses
of approximately $8.5 million. The operating margin of the leased and owned
hotels decreased from 48.1% during 1998 to 44.7% during 1999 due primarily to
the increased costs associated with the leased hotels. The Company expects the
increased competition and over-supply of limited-service hotels to continue to
affect negatively the future operating margins of the Company's leased hotels.

General and administrative expenses are associated with the management of
hotels and consist primarily of centralized management expenses such as
operations management, sales and marketing, finance and other hotel support
services, as well as general corporate expenses. Pro forma general and
administrative expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 17.0%, from $12.4 million
in 1998 to $14.5 million in 1999. This increase resulted in part from a $2.0
million deficiency between the amount of premiums received as compared to actual
and estimated claims incurred under the Company's self-insured health and
welfare plan. Pro forma general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
pro forma revenues increased to 6.2% during 1999 compared to 5.2% during 1998.
This increase was primarily due to the decrease in total revenues and the
increase in general and administrative expenses.

Pro forma depreciation and amortization increased by $2.6 million, or
14.6%, from $18.2 million in 1998 to $20.8 million in 1999. This increase was
due to accelerated amortization of $2.0 million in 1999 related to three leased
hotels that were sold by Equity Inns, Inc., and the incremental depreciation
related to one hotel acquired by the Company on November 1, 1999. Future
terminations of hotel leases by Equity Inns, Inc. could result in accelerated
amortization of the remaining leased hotel intangible assets.

The loss on impairment of investment in hotel lease contracts of $16.4
million in 1999 represents a non-cash impairment loss related to the Company's
leased hotel intangible assets. The loss was the result of a permanent
impairment of the future profitability of 42 of the Company's leased hotels for
the remainder of the hotel lease contract terms. These hotels had experienced
lower than expected operating cash flows during 1999, primarily due to decreased
occupancy rates and higher operating costs resulting from a significant over-
supply of mid-scale, upper economy and budget hotels in certain markets.
Management will continue to evaluate the recoverability of the remaining leased
hotel intangible assets on a quarterly basis based on the financial results of
these properties compared to future expectations. A significant decrease in
occupancy rates or average daily room rates or a significant increase in
operating costs from expectations could trigger future impairment.

10

Pro forma operating income decreased by $35.8 million from $4.7 million in
1998 to a pro forma operating loss of $31.1 million in 1999. This decrease is
primarily due to the decrease in total revenues and the increase in operating
expenses from 1998 to 1999, including the loss on impairment of investment in
hotel lease contracts, as discussed above.

Pro forma income tax expense (benefit) for both 1998 and 1999 was computed
based on an effective tax rate of 40% after reduction of minority interest.

Pro forma minority interest reflects Wyndham's 55% non-controlling interest
in IH LLC, the successor to the third-party hotel management and leasing
businesses previously conducted by Old Interstate prior to the Merger.

As a result of the changes noted above, a pro forma net loss of $7.8
million was incurred in 1999 as compared to pro forma net income of $1.7 million
in 1998.

HISTORICAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO HISTORICAL YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1998

Lodging revenues increased slightly to $194.4 million in 1999 partially due
to revenues of $0.4 million for one hotel acquired by the Company on November 1,
1999. The increase was offset by the net loss of ten hotel operating leases
since January 1, 1998, increased competition and general negative trends in the
limited-service hotel sector. In addition, some of the Company's leased hotels
underwent renovations, which reduced rooms available and negatively impacted
operating results.

Net management fees decreased by $7.5 million, or 18.4%, from $40.8 million
in 1998 to $33.3 in 1999. This decrease was due to the net loss of 53 management
contracts since January 1, 1998, which included 29 hotels whose management was
transferred to either Wyndham or Marriott in connection with the Merger and
Spin-off. Contributing to the net loss of management contracts was the
uncertainty surrounding the timing and completion of the Merger and subsequent
Spin-off, which impaired the Company's ability to add new management contracts.
Other fees decreased by $7.8 million, or 38.0%, from $20.5 million in 1998 to
$12.7 million in 1999. This decrease was due to the decrease in the total number
of hotels operated by the Company in 1999 as compared to 1998. A significant
portion of this decrease resulted from a decrease in insurance revenues, which
decreased by $3.8 million from 1998 to 1999. This decrease was primarily due to
the decrease in the total number of hotels operated by the Company in 1999 as
compared to 1998 and a reduction in the amount of financial indemnity revenue
for the Company's self-insured health and welfare plan.

Lodging expenses increased by $6.9 million, or 6.8%, from $100.6 million in
1998 to $107.5 million in 1999. This increase was partially due to incremental
expenses related to one hotel acquired by the Company on November 1, 1999. For
the leased hotels, increased competition resulting from an increased supply of
limited-service hotels in certain markets required higher operating costs to
maintain revenue levels during 1999. In addition, the Company entered into
leases for two newly constructed hotels during 1999 which incurred expenses of
approximately $8.5 million. The operating margin of the leased and owned hotels
decreased from 48.1% during 1998 to 44.7% during 1999 due primarily to the
increased costs associated with the leased hotels. The Company expects the
increased competition and over-supply of limited-service hotels to continue to
affect negatively the future operating margin of the Company's leased hotels.

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 17.9%,
from $11.9 million in 1998 to $14.1 million in 1999. This increase resulted in
part from a $2.0 million deficiency between the amount of premiums received as
compared to actual and estimated claims incurred under the Company's
self-insured health and welfare plan. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues increased to 5.8% during 1999 compared to 4.7% during
1998. This increase was primarily due to the decrease in total revenues and the
increase in general and administrative expenses.

Payroll and related benefits decreased by $1.8 million, or 8.4%, from $21.4
million in 1998 to $19.6 million in 1999. This decrease was due to elimination
of salaries and related benefits of employees who were terminated subsequent to
the Merger and whose positions have been eliminated. Payroll and related
benefits as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly to 8.2% during 1999
compared to 8.4% during 1998.
9
11

Lease expense represents base rent and participating rent that is based on
a percentage of rooms and food and beverage revenues from the leased hotels,
adjusted for increases in the consumer price index. Lease expense increased by
$3.5 million, or 4.1%, from $85.7 million in 1998 to $89.2 million in 1999 due
to a slight increase in lodging revenues from 1998 to 1999, and from a $2.0
million one-time charge in the first quarter for additional incentive rent for
1999 paid in settlement of a dispute with Equity Inns, Inc. resulting from the
Merger.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $8.0 million from $12.8 million
in 1998 to $20.8 million in 1999. This increase was due to incremental
amortization of $5.9 million related to management contract costs associated
with the step-up in basis arising from the allocation of Merger consideration.
The management contract costs have been stated at their estimated fair market
values and are being amortized using the straight-line method over five years.
In addition, accelerated amortization of $2.0 million was incurred in 1999
related to three leased hotels that were sold by Equity Inns, Inc. Future
terminations of hotel leases by Equity Inns, Inc. could result in accelerated
amortization of the remaining leased hotel intangible assets.

Operating income decreased by $49.9 million from $22.7 million in 1998 to
an operating loss of $27.2 million in 1999. This decrease is primarily due to
the decrease in total revenues and the increase in operating expenses from 1998
to 1999, including the loss on impairment of investment in hotel lease
contracts, as discussed above.

Other income consists primarily of equity in earnings from The Charles
Hotel Complex.

Loss on sale of investment in hotel real estate resulted from the sale of
the Company's equity interests in The Charles Hotel Complex on June 18, 1999.

Income tax expense (benefit) for both 1998 and 1999 was computed based on
an effective tax rate of 40% after reduction of minority interest, except for
the $0.9 million loss on the sale of equity interests in The Charles Hotel
Complex in 1999, which was allocated 100% to Wyndham.

Minority interest in 1999 primarily reflects Wyndham's 55% non-controlling
interest in IH LLC that it retained after the Spin-off.

As a result of the changes noted above, a net loss of $7.6 million was
incurred in 1999 as compared to net income of $14.9 million in 1998.

HISTORICAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO HISTORICAL YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1997

Total revenues increased by $24.8 million, or 10.7%, from $230.4 million in
1997 to $255.2 million in 1998. The most significant portion of this increase
related to lodging revenues, which increased by $26.0 million, or 15.5%, from
$167.9 million in 1997 to $193.9 million in 1998. This increase was due to the
addition of the operations of the leased hotels since their respective inception
dates.

The average daily room rate for the leased hotels increased by 6.0%, from
$67.93 during 1997 to $71.98 during 1998, and the average occupancy rate
decreased to 68.2% during 1998 from 71.1% during 1997. This resulted in an
increase in room revenue per available room of 1.7% to $49.08 during 1998. The
operating results of the Company's leased hotels were consistent with the trends
within the lodging industry during the same time period. The increase in the
average daily room rate primarily resulted from inflationary rate
10
12

increases. The decrease in the average occupancy rate primarily resulted from an
increase of new supply within the lodging industry.

Net management fees increased by $1.7 million, or 4.2%, from $39.1 million
in 1997 to $40.8 in 1998. This increase was due to increased revenues associated
with incentive management fees earned as a result of the performance improvement
of existing managed hotels. Other fees decreased by $2.9 million, or 12.7%, from
$23.4 million in 1997 to $20.5 million in 1998 due to a decrease in the total
number of hotels operated by the Company in 1998 as compared to 1997. Other fees
also include insurance revenues of $8.4 million in 1998 compared to $9.1 million
in 1997.

Lodging expenses increased by $15.0 million, or 17.5%, from $85.6 million
in 1997 to $100.6 million in 1998. This increase was due to the addition of the
operations of the leased hotels since their respective inception dates. The
operating margin of the leased hotels decreased from 49.0% during 1997 to 48.1%
during 1998.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.3 million, or 9.7%,
from $13.2 million in 1997 to $11.9 million in 1998. This decrease was primarily
due to a reduction in development activities and legal and accounting costs.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to
4.7% during 1998 compared to 5.7% during 1997. This decrease was primarily due
to the increase in lodging revenues resulting from the inclusion of the
operations of the leased hotels since their respective inception dates.

Payroll and related benefits decreased slightly by $0.5 million, or 2.2%,
from $21.9 million in 1997 to $21.4 million in 1998. Payroll and related
benefits as a percentage of revenues decreased to 8.4% during 1998 compared to
9.5% during 1997, primarily due to the increase in lodging revenues resulting
from the inclusion of the operations of the leased hotels since their respective
inception dates.

Lease expense increased by $12.4 million, or 16.9%, from $73.3 million in
1997 to $85.7 million in 1998. This increase was due to the addition of the
operations of the leased hotels since their respective inception dates.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $8.0 million from $4.8 million
in 1997 to $12.8 million in 1998. This increase was due to incremental
amortization of management contract costs associated with the step-up in basis
arising from the allocation of Merger consideration. The management contract
costs have been stated at their estimated fair market values and are being
amortized using the straight-line method over five years.

Operating income decreased by $8.9 million, or 28.1%, from $31.6 million in
1997 to $22.7 million in 1998. The operating margin decreased from 13.7% during
1997 to 8.9% during 1998. This decrease in operating income and in the operating
margin reflects the inclusion of the operating results of the leased hotels
since their respective inception dates and the increase in depreciation and
amortization during 1998.

Other income increased by $1.5 million primarily due to an increase in
equity in earnings from The Charles Hotel Complex, which resulted from the
Company's acquisition of additional equity interests in The Charles Hotel
Complex during the latter half of 1998.

Income tax expense for both 1997 and 1998 was computed based on an
effective tax rate of 40%.

As a result of the changes noted above, net income decreased by $4.6
million, or 23.3%, from $19.5 million in 1997 to $14.9 million in 1998. The net
income margin decreased from 8.5% during 1997 to 5.9% during 1998, reflecting
the inclusion of the operating results of the leased hotels since their
respective inception dates and the increase in depreciation and amortization
during 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalent assets were $22.4 million at
December 31, 1999 compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 1998, and current
assets exceeded current liabilities by $5.6 million at December 31, 1999. In
connection with the Spin-off, Wyndham provided working capital to the Company in
the amount of $16.3 million, less positive working capital of IH LLC.

11
13

In addition to the working capital provided by Wyndham, the Company's
principal source of liquidity during 1999 was cash from operations. Net cash
provided by operating activities was $23.8 million during 1999 compared to $28.0
million during 1998. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in
operating income (adjusted for non-cash items) of $20.3 million from 1998 to
1999, offset by an increase of $16.1 million in cash provided by changes in
assets and liabilities. Net cash of $10.1 million was used in investing
activities during 1999 compared to net cash of $25.0 million used in investing
activities during 1998. The increase was primarily related to the receipt of
$13.6 million of proceeds from the sale of equity interests in The Charles Hotel
Complex during 1999 and a decrease of $17.5 million in amounts paid in
connection with the Merger during 1999 compared to 1998. These amounts were
offset by the Company's acquisition of one hotel for a total acquisition cost,
including closing costs, of $13.0 million, which was funded with cash received
from Wyndham in connection with the Spin-off. The Company's capital expenditure
budget for the year ending December 31, 2000 relating to current operations is
approximately $150,000 consisting primarily of expenditures for office and
telephone equipment. Net cash of $7.1 million was provided by financing
activities during 1999 compared to net cash of $3.7 million used in financing
activities during 1998. During 1999, $32.0 million was received from Wyndham in
connection with the Spin-off and $2.1 million was received from Marriott in
exchange for 4% of the Company's common stock. These amounts were offset by the
use of $11.9 million for net distributions to Wyndham and the repayment of $11.6
million that was borrowed from related entities to meet short-term cash
requirements in connection with Old Interstate's centralized cash accounts.

In February 2000, the Company entered into a $7.6 million limited-recourse
mortgage note that is collateralized by one hotel that was acquired by the
Company during 1999. Monthly payments are due based on a 25-year amortization
schedule for principal, with interest based on variable rate options using the
prime rate or the LIBOR rate. The outstanding principal balance on the note is
due and payable in 2002.

In accordance with the terms of IH LLC's limited liability company
agreement, the Company is required to distribute 55% of IH LLC's cash flows from
operations to Wyndham. At December 31, 1999, the Company's required distribution
to Wyndham amounted to $4.0 million. In addition, the agreement requires the
Company to allocate between IH LLC and the Company the costs and expenses
relating to services provided by one party for the benefit of the other in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, on the basis of which
party benefited from the expenditure. To the extent that the allocation of any
such costs and expenses, including general and administrative expenses, cannot
be fairly apportioned, IH LLC and the Company will allocate such costs and
expenses based upon their respective gross revenues, so that each party's profit
margins are substantially the same for similar services.

The Company intends to pursue future opportunities to manage or lease
hotels on behalf of third-party owners, as well as pursue other business
opportunities, such as selective hotel investments and the formation of
strategic alliances. Such opportunities may require capital investments by the
Company. The Company believes that the cash that was provided by Wyndham at the
time of the Spin-off and future cash flow provided by operations may be
insufficient to fund fully the execution of its business and growth strategy. As
a result, the Company will be required to obtain debt or equity financing or
modify its business plan. While the Company presently intends to seek to obtain
additional debt or equity financing, there can be no assurance that any such
financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. If
the Company does not obtain additional financing, its pursuit of its business
strategy and growth may be impaired. Management is currently pursuing possible
alternatives to augment its capital resources to enable it to more effectively
pursue its growth strategy. The principal focus of this effort to date has been
potential capital partners. There can be no assurance that these efforts will be
successful or, if so, as to the timing or terms thereof.

In the first quarter of 2000, the Company has entered into management
contracts for and commenced management of nine mid-scale, upper economy and
budget hotels and one luxury hotel. The Company has also entered into management
contracts to manage five hotels which are currently scheduled to open in either
2000 or 2001.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company did not experience any significant malfunctions or errors in
its operating or business systems when the date changed from 1999 to 2000. Based
on operations since January 1, 2000, the Company does not expect any significant
impact to its ongoing business as a result of year 2000 computer complications.
However, it is possible that the full impact of the date change, which was a
concern due to computer programs that use two digits instead of four digits to
define years, has not been fully recognized. For example, it is possible that
year 2000 or similar issues may occur with billing, payroll or financial
closings at quarter- or year-end. The Company believes that any such problems
are likely to be minor and correctable. In addition, the Company could still be
negatively impacted if the year 2000 or similar complications adversely affect
its customers or suppliers. The Company currently is not aware of any
significant year 2000 or similar problems that have arisen for its customers or
suppliers.

The Company expended approximately $2.0 million on year 2000 readiness
efforts from 1997 to 1999. These efforts included replacing some outdated,
noncompliant hardware and software, as well as identifying and remediating year
2000 problems. In connection with the Spin-off, Wyndham agreed to pay up to
$929,000 of the corporate level year 2000 compliance related expenses, and this
amount was funded into an escrow account at the time of the Spin-off. In
addition, to the extent that the Company is responsible for any year 2000
compliance related expenses with respect to the leased hotels, Wyndham is
obligated to indemnify the Company for up to $1.2 million of such expenses. The
Company is in the process of calculating the total costs to be reimbursed by
Wyndham, and intends to submit such costs to Wyndham for reimbursement in the
second quarter of 2000. Any remaining expenses not funded by Wyndham will be
funded by the Company through operating cash flow.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Interstate Hotels Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Interstate
Hotels Corporation (together with its subsidiaries and predecessors, the
"Company"), as described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31,
1999, for the period from January 1, 1998 to June 1, 1998, for the period from
June 2, 1998 to December 31, 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1997, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company was not a separate legal entity prior
to June 18, 1999. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and are not intended to be a complete
presentation of the consolidated financial statements of Interstate Hotels
Company or its affiliates.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
the Company as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of
its operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December
31, 1999, for the period from January 1, 1998 to June 1, 1998, for the period
from June 2, 1998 to December 31, 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1997,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

As discussed in Note 5, the Company adopted the provisions of Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue 97-14 effective September 30, 1998.

INTERSTATE HOTELS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Interstate Hotels Corporation (together with its subsidiaries and
predecessors, the "Company") was formed pursuant to a series of events
culminating in the spin-off of the Company's operations from Wyndham
International, Inc., formerly Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. ("Wyndham"), on
June 18, 1999. On June 2, 1998, Interstate Hotels Company (the predecessor of
the Company, and together with its subsidiaries, "Old Interstate") merged into
Wyndham (the "Merger"). Prior to the Merger, Marriott International, Inc.
("Marriott") filed a lawsuit to stop the closing of the Merger as a result of a
dispute over certain franchise agreements between Marriott and Old Interstate.
On June 18, 1999, pursuant to a settlement agreement with Marriott, Wyndham
transferred to the Company, which was then a newly formed corporation, the
third-party hotel management business of Old Interstate, equity interests in The
Charles Hotel Complex, a hotel, retail and office complex located in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, and long-term leasehold interests in 79 hotels. Wyndham then
spun-off the Company to its shareholders (the "Spin-off"). In connection with
the Spin-off, Marriott purchased 4% of the Company's common stock, Wyndham
retained 4% of the Company's common stock, and the remaining 92% of the
Company's common stock was distributed to Wyndham's shareholders.

The financial statements have been prepared using the predecessor basis of
accounting for the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the period from January
1, 1998 to June 1, 1998 (the "June 1998 period"), and the successor basis of
accounting for the period from June 2, 1998 to December 31, 1998 (the "December
1998 period"), as well as for the year ended December 31, 1999, to coincide with
the periods before and after the Merger. The Merger was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting, and the Merger consideration was allocated by
Wyndham on the basis of the estimated fair market value of the assets of Old
Interstate. The Spin-off was accounted for using the historical basis of
accounting. When used herein, "consolidated financial statements" refers to the
historical combined financial statements of the Company prior to the Spin-off
and the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company thereafter.

Prior to the Spin-off, the Company was not a separate legal entity.
Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company
have been carved out of Old Interstate's financial statements prior to the
Merger using the predecessor basis of accounting, and from Wyndham's financial
statements subsequent to the Merger through the Spin-off date using the
successor basis of accounting, which gives effect to the allocation of the
Merger consideration. The financial statements include only those assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable to the third-party
hotel management business, the equity interests in The Charles Hotel Complex and
the leased hotels which were retained by the Company in connection with the
Spin-off. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the
Company had operated as a separate entity for all periods presented.

The Company's principal subsidiaries include Interstate Hotels, LLC and
Interstate Pittsburgh Hotel Holdings, L.L.C. Interstate Hotels, LLC ("IH LLC")
has assumed the third-party hotel management business previously conducted by
Old Interstate and holds the leasehold interests in the Company's leased hotels,
as well as provides ancillary services such as centralized purchasing, equipment
leasing and insurance services. The Company owns a 45% managing member interest
and Wyndham owns a 55% non-controlling ownership interest in IH LLC. Interstate
Pittsburgh Hotel Holdings, L.L.C. is a wholly owned subsidiary which owns the
Pittsburgh Airport Residence Inn by Marriott.

In accordance with IH LLC's limited liability company agreement, the
Company is required to distribute 55% of IH LLC's cash flows from operations to
Wyndham and allocate between IH LLC and the Company the costs and expenses
relating to services provided by one party for the benefit of the other in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, on the basis of which
party benefited from the expenditure. To the extent that the allocation of any
such costs and expenses, including general and administrative expenses, cannot
be fairly apportioned, IH LLC and the Company will allocate such costs and
expenses based upon their respective gross revenues, so that each party's profit
margins are substantially the same for similar services.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION, CONTINUED:

The Company includes the revenues and expenses and the working capital of
the leased hotels in the financial statements because the risk of operating
these hotels is borne by the Company, as lessee, under the terms of the leases.
Revenues and expenses from the operation of the managed hotels are not included
in the financial statements because the hotel management contracts are generally
cancellable, not transferable and do not shift the risks of operation to the
Company. Therefore, the Company records revenues from management fees only for
its managed hotels.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
as described in Note 1. All significant intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority interests represent the
proportionate share of the equity that is owned by third parties in entities
controlled by the Company. The net income or loss of such entities is allocated
to the minority interests based on their percentage ownership throughout the
year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

All unrestricted, highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining
maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The
Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions
in excess of the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Management believes the credit risk related to these cash and cash equivalents
is minimal. Prior to the Spin-off, certain cash of the Company was swept from
individual accounts and combined with Old Interstate's cash in a central
account.

For periods prior to the Spin-off, amounts owed to related entities to meet
short-term cash requirements in connection with Old Interstate's centralized
cash account are recorded as accounts payable -- related parties.

Restricted Cash:

Capital restricted under applicable government insurance regulations is
included in restricted cash, and represents approximately 20% of the annual
insurance premiums written by the Company.

Direct Financing Leases:

Equipment acquired and subsequently leased to hotels under capital leases
is recorded at the net investment in direct financing leases, which represents
the total future minimum lease payments receivable net of unearned income. When
payments are received, the receivable is reduced and the unearned income is
recognized on a pro-rata basis over the life of the lease.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, which includes the allocated
purchase price for hotel acquisitions, and are depreciated on the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and
betterments that significantly extend the useful life of existing property and
equipment are capitalized and depreciated. The cost and the related accumulated
depreciation applicable to property no longer in service are eliminated from the
accounts and any gain or loss thereon is included in operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

Officers and Employees Notes Receivable:

The Company grants loans from time to time to officers and employees, which
are payable upon demand and generally do not bear interest until such demand is
made. Certain notes may be forgiven and expensed provided certain conditions are
satisfied.

Intangible and Other Assets:

Intangible and other assets consist of the amounts paid to obtain
management and lease contracts including the allocation of the Merger
consideration by Wyndham. Intangibles and other assets are amortized on the
straight-line method over the life of the underlying contracts or estimated
useful lives.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of:

The carrying values of long-lived assets, which include property and
equipment and all intangible assets, are evaluated quarterly in relation to the
operating performance and future undiscounted operating cash flows of the
underlying assets. Adjustments are made if the sum of expected future
undiscounted net cash flows is less than book value. See Note 4 for the results
of the current year evaluation.

Deferred Income Taxes:

Deferred income taxes are recorded using the liability method. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are provided for the differences
between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the
differences are expected to reverse.

Income Tax Status:

Prior to the Spin-off, the entities that comprised the Company were
included in the consolidated federal income tax return of either Old Interstate
or Wyndham and all tax liabilities were paid by either Old Interstate or
Wyndham. The income tax provision presented in these consolidated financial
statements through the Spin-off date has been calculated as if the Company had
prepared and filed a separate income tax return for those periods. The income
tax liability for all current income taxes for purposes of these consolidated
financial statements through the Spin-off date have been settled with either Old
Interstate or Wyndham through owners' equity. For periods after the Spin-off,
the Company will file a separate consolidated income tax return. Such return
will include an allocation of the operating results of IH LLC based on its 45%
share of the taxable operating results of IH LLC.

The effective tax rate used after the Spin-off is based on the Company's
effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1999, and varies from the
statutory tax rate as a result of the allocations of the taxable operating
results of IH LLC to minority interests, as discussed above.

Insurance:

Insurance revenues are earned through reinsurance premiums, direct premiums
written and reinsurance premiums ceded. Reinsurance premiums are recognized when
policies are written and any unearned portion of the premium is recognized to
account for the unexpired term of the policy (as-reported basis). Direct
premiums written are recognized pursuant to the underlying policy and
reinsurance premiums ceded are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the life of
the related policies. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums
applicable to the unexpired term of policies in force. Losses are provided for
reported claims, claims incurred but not reported and claims settlement expense
at each balance sheet date. Such losses are based on management's estimate of
the ultimate cost of settlement of claims and historical loss rates. Accrued
claims liabilities are carried at present value without discounting since the
contracts are of a short duration and discounting would not be significant.
Actual liabilities may differ from estimated amounts. Any changes in estimated
losses and settlements are reflected in current earnings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

Owners' Equity:

Owners' equity prior to the Spin-off represents the net equity of Old
Interstate and Wyndham in the Company. Net contributions/distributions from
owners represent non-operating transfers to and from Old Interstate and Wyndham.

Revenue Recognition:

The owned and leased hotels recognize revenue from their rooms, food and
beverage and other departments as earned on the close of each business day.
Management and other related fees are recognized when earned.

Reimbursable Expenses:

The Company is reimbursed for costs associated with providing insurance and
risk management services, purchasing and project management services, MIS and
legal support, centralized accounting, training and relocation programs to the
owned, managed and leased hotels. These revenues are included in other fees and
the corresponding costs are included in general and administrative and payroll
and related benefits in the consolidated statements of operations.

Financial Instruments:

As a policy, the Company does not engage in speculative or leveraged
transactions, nor does the Company hold or issue financial instruments for
trading purposes.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions. These may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial
statements. They may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications:

Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the 1999 consolidated
financial statements.

3. MERGER:

In connection with the Merger, Wyndham allocated the Merger consideration
on the basis of the estimated fair market value of the assets of Old Interstate.
The fair market value of these assets was determined using historical and
projected cash flow and earnings at then current market multiples and discount
rates. As a result, on June 2, 1998, Old Interstate recorded an additional
intangible asset related to management contracts of $69,862, a net decrease in
other assets of $7,652 related to hotel leases and a net deferred tax liability
of $5,458, resulting in a net increase to owners' equity of $56,752 ("Change in
Basis"). The intangible asset related to the management contracts is being
amortized over five years, based on the average remaining contract term, and the
intangible asset related to the leased hotels is being amortized over the
average remaining periods of the leases of 11 and 13.5 years, beginning June 2,
1998.

Merger-related costs incurred by Old Interstate were not reflected in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the June 1998 period, as
they did not relate specifically to ongoing business. In connection with the
Merger, severance payments and other merger-related costs were incurred by
Wyndham and capitalized as part of the purchase price of Old Interstate.

4. IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT IN HOTEL LEASE CONTRACTS:

In 1999, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss of $16,406 related
to its leased hotel intangible assets included in the mid-scale, upper economy
and budget hotels segment. The impairment loss was the result of a permanent
impairment of the future profitability of these hotels for the remainder of the
hotel lease contract terms. These hotels had experienced lower than expected
operating cash flows during 1999, primarily due to decreased occupancy rates and
higher operating costs resulting from significant construction that has occurred
within this industry segment. This recent construction has caused a significant
over-supply of mid-scale, upper economy and budget hotels in certain markets.
The long-term impact of this over-supply on the profitability of the Company's
leased hotels was determined and quantified as a result of a negative trend in
operating statistics increasing through the fourth quarter of 1999 and during
the completion of the Company's budgeting process in the fourth quarter of 1999.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Assets to be
Disposed Of," the Company evaluated the recoverability of the intangible assets
by measuring the carrying amount of the intangible assets against the estimated
future cash flows of the individual properties. As a result of the current year
evaluation, the Company recognized the impairment loss on 42 of its leased hotel
intangible assets. The remaining limited-service leased hotel intangible assets
will continue to be amortized over the remainder of the original lease contract
terms.

5. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING:

Effective September 30, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 97-14 "Accounting for Deferred Compensation
Arrangements Where Amounts Earned are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested" (EITF
97-14). The issue requires that the accounts of the rabbi trust (the "Trust") be
consolidated with the accounts of the employer. Previously the accounts of the
Trust were not consolidated.

The Company provides deferred compensation for certain executives and hotel
general managers by depositing amounts into a Trust for the benefit of the
participating employees. Deposits into the Trust are expensed and amounted to
$662, $178, $250 and $530 for the year ended December 31, 1997, for the June
1998 and December 1998 periods and for the year ended December 31, 1999,
respectively. Amounts in the Trust earn investment income, which serves to
increase the corresponding deferred compensation obligation. Amounts in the
Trust are always fully vested.

The effect of adopting EITF 97-14 as of September 30, 1998 was an increase
in investments and deferred compensation of $6,451. Investments, which are
recorded at market value, are directed by the Company and consist principally of
mutual funds. The adoption did not have any effect on net income in 1999 or the
December 1998 period and is not expected to significantly impact net income in
future periods. Unrealized gains and losses were not significant at December 31,
1999 and 1998.

In October 1998, the Company paid $4,213 in deferred compensation from the
Trust to certain executives.

6. PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED):

The following unaudited pro forma information is presented to include the
effects of the Spin-off, the sale of equity interests in The Charles Hotel
Complex and certain other adjustments as if all of the transactions had occurred
on January 1, 1998. Such other adjustments principally include the elimination
and addition of certain management fee and other fee revenues related to
Wyndham-owned hotels, the management of which was transferred to Wyndham,
Marriott or the Company as a result of the Spin-off. The adjustments also
include the elimination of a $2,000 one-time charge for additional incentive
lease expense for 1999 paid in settlement of a dispute with Equity Inns, Inc.
resulting from the Merger, and the addition of minority interest to reflect
Wyndham's 55% non-controlling interest in IH LLC prior to the Spin-off. In
management's opinion,

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, CONTINUED:
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is named as a defendant
in legal proceedings resulting from incidents at the hotels it operates. In
addition, legal proceedings were or may be commenced against Old Interstate in
the ordinary course of its business. To the extent that such legal proceedings
relate to operations that are now conducted by the Company, the Company will
succeed to any liabilities resulting from such legal proceedings, and under the
terms of the Spin-off, the Company is required to indemnify Wyndham with respect
thereto, whether arising before or after the Spin-off. The Company maintains
liability insurance, requires hotel owners to maintain adequate insurance
coverage and is generally entitled to indemnification from third-party hotel
owners for lawsuits and damages against it in its capacity as a hotel manager.
Old Interstate had similar arrangements prior to the Merger. In addition, in
connection with the Spin-off, Wyndham is agreed to indemnify the Company against
liabilities relating to, among other things, the assets of Old Interstate that
Wyndham retained. As a result, the Company believes that the legal proceedings
to which it is subject will not have a material effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

Risk Related to Dispute Over Leased Hotel Portfolio:

As of December 31, 1998, the Company was engaged in a dispute with Equity
Inns Partnership, L.P. ("Equity Inns") regarding, among other matters, the
status of leases for 79 Hotels the Company leased from Equity Inns or its
affiliates. The principal issue in the dispute was whether the Company or Equity
Inns was responsible for funding property improvement plans ("PIPs") which were
issued by franchisors under whose brand names the Company operated the leased
hotels. Although franchise agreements generally provide to franchisors the right
to require third-party operators to fund PIPs at any time, these PIPs were
issued as a result of Old Interstate's Merger into Wyndham. The total amount
required to be funded under the PIPs was approximately $6,000.

On March 31, 1999, the Company settled the above-described dispute and
entered into a consolidated amendment to the Company's lease agreements and
master agreement with Equity Inns. As part of the amendment, Equity Inns
acknowledged that the Company is not responsible for the funding of the PIPs.
The Company agreed to pay a one-time additional incentive rent payment for the
1999 lease year in the amount of $2,000. In addition, the amended lease
agreements now include, among other things, performance standards with respect
to the leased hotels, including requirements to maintain room revenue per
available room and expenditures to within specified percentages of the amounts
targeted in the hotels' operating budgets and a minimum net worth covenant.
Equity Inns' sole remedy for a failure to satisfy the performance standards is
to terminate the subject lease or leases, without penalty. A failure to maintain
the minimum net worth would be a default under the leases.

The Company is currently engaged in a dispute with Equity Inns regarding 41
of the 76 hotels leased from Equity Inns or its affiliates. Equity Inns has
asserted that the Company has failed to spend the required percentages of the
amounts targeted in certain categories of the hotels' operating budgets for the
measuring period from July 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999 with respect to 41
leases. The Company disagrees with and is vigorously disputing Equity Inns'
interpretation of this requirement. If, however, the Company is determined to
have failed to spend the required amount under the leases, Equity Inns' sole
remedy is to terminate the subject lease or leases. The carrying value of the
Company's leased hotel intangible assets related to the 41 hotel leases amounted
to approximately $6,400 at December 31, 1999. The termination of the subject
lease or leases could result in accelerated amortization of all or the
applicable portion of the leased hotel intangible assets on the date of
termination. At this time, Equity Inns has not notified the Company of its
intent to terminate any of the 41 subject leases.

12. PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK:

The Company has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock having such rights, preferences and privileges as designated by the Board
of Directors of the Company without stockholder

subject to, and may be affected by, the rights of the holders of any such
preferred stock that may be issued in the future. No preferred stock has been
issued to date.

Each holder of Class A, Class B and Class C Common Stock is entitled to one
vote for each share held by such holder, and no stockholders have cumulative
voting rights or preemptive, subscription or redemption rights, and no liability
exists for further calls or assessments. Holders of Class B shares are entitled
to elect one director, and holders of Class C shares are entitled to elect one
director. Holders of Class A shares elect the remaining directors. Upon the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, all holders of shares of Common Stock
share ratably in the assets of the Company available for distribution to
stockholders, subject to the preferential rights of any then outstanding shares
of preferred stock.

The following table represents the number of shares of Common Stock
authorized, issued and outstanding at December 31, 1999.

Class A common stock..................... $.01 62,000,000 6,091,802

1999 Equity Incentive Plan.................................. 2,300,000
Employee Stock Purchase Plan................................ 400,000
---------
2,700,000
=========

The 1999 Equity Incentive Plan provides for long-term incentives to be
awarded to eligible employees through grants of restricted stock and grants of
stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock. The options generally vest
over a three-year period and expire after ten years. During 1999, the Company
issued 331,917 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock to two executives under
the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan. The shares vest over a three to four year period
and the unvested portion of compensation has been reflected as unearned
compensation in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders'
equity. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan is designed to be a non-compensatory
plan, whereby eligible employees may elect to withhold a maximum of 8% of their
salary and use such amounts to purchase Common Stock.

The Company has elected to account for stock-based employee compensation
arrangements under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," rather than SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Based on the fair value of the
options at the grant dates according to SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss
would not have changed for compensation cost related to the stock options for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

Weighted average risk-free interest rate.................... 6.2%
Expected dividend yield..................................... --
Expected volatility......................................... 55.0%

13. NET MANAGEMENT FEES:

The Company's management agreements have initial terms that range from one
month to 49 years, expire through the year 2044 and are generally cancelable
under certain conditions, including the sale of the hotel.

The management agreements specify the base management fees to be earned,
which are generally based on percentages of gross revenues. In certain cases,
incentive management fees are earned based on the hotels' profitability as
defined by the management agreements. The net management fees earned for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1999 and for the June 1998 and December 1998
periods were as follows:

14. INCOME TAXES, CONTINUED:

A reconciliation of the Company's effective tax rate to the federal
statutory rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 is as follows:

Federal statutory rate...................................... 35%
State taxes, net of federal benefit......................... 3
Minority interest........................................... (17)
Other....................................................... (1)

For periods prior to the Spin-off, the provision for income tax was
recorded based on the federal statutory rate of 35% plus the state tax rate, net
of federal income tax benefit of 5% after consideration of minority interests in
passthrough tax entities. These rates approximate Old Interstate's historical
rates.

15. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Prior to the Spin-off, the Company was not a separate legal entity.
Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company
have been carved out of the financial statements of Old Interstate and Wyndham,
and principally include those assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses
directly attributable to the third-party hotel management and leasing businesses
conducted by the Company. The Company believes that the historical earnings per
share calculations required in accordance with SFAS No. 128 are not meaningful
for periods prior to the Spin-off and, therefore, have not been provided. In
addition, the Company does not believe that a historical earnings per share
calculation for the period between the date of the Spin-off through December 31,
1999 is meaningful. Rather, earnings per share for the three-month periods ended
September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1999 and pro forma earnings per share for
the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 are a more meaningful measure of the
Company's results of operations (see Notes 6 and 23).

The historical earnings per share for the three-month periods ended
September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1999 have been calculated by dividing net
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock deemed to be
outstanding. The pro forma earnings per share for the years ended December 31,
1998 and 1999 have been calculated by dividing pro forma net loss by the pro
forma weighted average number of common shares deemed to be outstanding, which
includes certain restricted common shares that were issued in October 1999. Pro
forma net loss reflects the transactions discussed in Notes 1 and 3 and other
required adjustments discussed in Note 6 as if all of the transactions had
occurred on January 1, 1998.

16. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

Cash paid for interest amounted to $29, $20 and $10 for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and for the June 1998 and December 1998 periods, respectively.
No cash was paid for interest for the year ended December 31, 1999.

In connection with the Merger, in the December 1998 period, the Company
excluded from the consolidated statements of cash flows a non-cash step-up in
basis of $30,268 arising from the allocation of Merger consideration, which
includes an increase to management contract costs of $43,378, a decrease in
other assets related to hotel leases of $7,652 and a deferred tax liability of
$5,458. In addition, as a result of the change in accounting discussed in Note
5, the Company recorded marketable securities and deferred compensation in the
amount of $6,451 as of September 30, 1998, which was also excluded from the
December 1998 period statement of cash flows.

In 1999, as a result of the Spin-off, the Company excluded from the
consolidated statements of cash flows non-cash equity transfers of $57,614 to
minority interests, representing the net book value of Wyndham's 55%
non-controlling ownership interest in IH LLC, a transfer of Wyndham's share of
the net deferred tax liability of $5,289, and the net book value of the Common
Stock distributed to the stockholders of the Company of $65,456. Prior to the
Spin-off, the Company excluded from the consolidated statements of cash flows
the contribution of Wyndham stock valued at $2,172 that was used to reduce
accrued liabilities recorded in connection with the Merger. In addition, as a
result of the sale of the equity interests in The Charles Hotel Complex, the
Company excluded from the consolidated statements of cash flows a $5,750 secured
non-recourse promissory note, which was received as proceeds from the sale, and
the elimination of $2,409 of third-party minority interests of Intercarp Limited
Partnership. The Company also excluded from the consolidated statements of cash
flows non-cash unearned compensation of $1,079 related to the issuance of Common
Stock to two executives during 1999.

17. INSURANCE:

The Company provides certain insurance coverage to hotels under the terms
of the various management and lease contracts. This insurance is generally
arranged through third-party carriers. Northridge Insurance Company
("Northridge"), a subsidiary of IH LLC, reinsures a portion of the coverage from
these third-party primary insurers. The policies provide for layers of coverage
with minimum deductibles and annual aggregate limits. The policies are for
coverage relating to innkeepers' losses (general/comprehensive liability),
wrongful employment practices, garagekeeper's legal liability, replacement cost
automobile losses and real and personal property insurance.

The Company is liable for any deficiencies in the IHC Employee Health and
Welfare Plan (and related Health Trust), which provides employees of the Company
with group health insurance benefits. The Company has a financial indemnity
liability policy with Northridge which indemnifies the Company for certain
obligations for the deficiency in the related Health Trust. The premiums for
this coverage received from the properties managed by the Company, net of
intercompany amounts paid for employees at the Company's corporate offices and

18. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

The Company maintains a defined contribution savings plan for all employees
of the Company. Eligibility for participation in the plan is based on the
employee's attainment of 21 years of age and on the completion of one year of
service with the Company. Employer contributions are based on a percentage of
employee contributions. Participants may make voluntary contributions to the
plan of up to 6% of their compensation, as defined. The Company incurred
expenses related to employees at its corporate offices of approximately $230,
$105, $147, and $221 for the year ended December 31, 1997, for the June 1998 and
December 1998 periods and for the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The carrying values and fair values of the Company's financial instruments
consisted of the following at December 31:

1998 1999
------------------ -------------------
CARRYING FAIR CARRYING FAIR
VALUE VALUE VALUE VALUE
-------- ------ -------- -------

Cash and cash equivalents.................... $1,652 $1,652 $22,440 $22,440
Restricted cash.............................. 2,201 2,201 1,701 1,701
Officers and employees notes receivable...... 2,803 2,803 3,541 3,541

Marketable securities........................ 2,609 2,609 2,134 2,134

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash: The carrying amounts
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.

Notes receivable: The fair value of notes receivable is based on
anticipated cash flows and approximates carrying value.

Marketable securities: The fair value of marketable securities is based
principally on the quoted market prices of the underlying security.

20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Transactions with Significant Related Parties:

Included in net management fees are management fees earned pursuant to
management agreements between the Company and the affiliates of Old Interstate

notes are due and payable. The notes are not collateralized. In addition, the
Company manages three hotels located in Russia, one of which opened in December
1998. As of December 31, 1998 and 1999, receivables from these hotels amounted
to $3,772 and $4,019, respectively. The Company currently estimates that all of

21. INVESTMENT IN HOTEL REAL ESTATE:

On October 2, 1997, the Company, through a 95% owned subsidiary, Intercarp
Limited Partnership ("Intercarp"), purchased a 55% non-controlling general
partnership interest in Charles Square Associates ("CSA"), a joint venture
general partnership, which serves as the managing general partner of CH&S
Limited Partnership ("CHS"), and a 25% interest in Cambridge Hotel Associates
("CHA") from an unrelated third party for approximately $13,000. CHS owns The
Charles Hotel Complex, which includes the hotel and related offices and retail
space in Cambridge, Massachusetts. CHA manages The Charles Hotel.

On October 10, 1997, Intercarp purchased 7.5 limited partnership units of
CHS for $150. During 1998, Intercarp purchased an additional 99.25 limited
partnership units for $2,948 and exchanged an 11.68% interest in Intercarp for
an additional 66.25 limited partnership units. As of December 31, 1998 Intercarp
held 173 of the 289 outstanding limited partnership units of CHS.

The Company accounted for its investment in CSA and CHA using the equity
method of accounting. Equity in earnings was included in other income in the
consolidated statements of operations and the investments were included in
investment in hotel real estate in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company
recognized equity in earnings from CHA of $136, $146, $213 and $162 for the year

21. INVESTMENT IN HOTEL REAL ESTATE, CONTINUED:

On June 18, 1999, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of
its equity interests in The Charles Hotel Complex by selling a 1% general
partnership interest and an 82.9% limited partnership interest in Intercarp and,
through IH LLC, received $13,500 in cash and a $5,750 secured non-recourse
promissory note in connection with the sale. The promissory note pays quarterly
interest only, at a rate of 10% per annum, until maturity in 2002. The loss of
$876 on the sale is included in "loss on sale of investment in hotel real
estate" in the consolidated statements of operations and is allocated 100% to
Wyndham in "minority interest" in the consolidated statements of operations in
accordance with IH LLC's limited liability company agreement. This agreement
also requires that the proceeds and interest from the promissory note be
allocated entirely to the Company.

The Company is the sole general partner of CHA, the manager of The Charles
Hotel. The management contract for The Charles Hotel was amended in connection
with the sale to provide for a reduction in management fees payable to the
Company in exchange for an extension of the term of the management contract to
ten years. In addition, the Company loaned the owner of the hotel $2,500 on
October 1, 1999 under the terms of the amended management contract.

22. SEGMENT INFORMATION:

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," effective December 31, 1998.
The statement requires disclosure of segment information for all periods
presented.

The Company determined that its reportable segments are those that are
based on the Company's method of internal reporting, which disaggregates its
business by operating entities which provide differing services.

The Company's reportable segments historically were: (i) operations of
luxury and upscale hotels, (ii) operations of mid-scale, upper economy and
budget hotels, and (iii) The Charles Hotel (hotel ownership). The luxury and
upscale hotels segment derives revenues from management fees and other services
which directly relate to providing management services, including revenues from
insurance, purchasing and equipment leasing. The mid-scale, upper economy and
budget segment derives revenues from managing and leasing hotels and certain
specialized support services. The Charles Hotel segment consisted principally of
an equity investment in The Charles Hotel Complex, which was sold during the
second quarter.
