                          EXTENDED STAY AMERICA, INC.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 1996


NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are
unaudited and include the accounts of Extended Stay America, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the
instructions of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.

     The condensed consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 1995 was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

     Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the current period's presentation.

NOTE 2 -- NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

     The net loss per common share amount in the statement of operations for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 has been computed in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 15. The net loss per common share
amount for the three months ended March 31, 1995 has been computed in
accordance with a Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. According to the SAB, equity securities, including stock,
warrants, options and other potentially dilutive securities, issued within a
twelve-month period prior to an initial public offering of common stock must be
treated as common stock equivalents when computing earnings per share for all
periods presented if the issue price of the common stock or the exercise price
of the warrants, options or other potentially dilutive securities is
substantially less than the initial public offering price, including loss years
where the impact of the incremental shares is anti-dilutive. As permitted by the
SAB, the treasury stock method has been used in determining the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period
presented.

NOTE 3 -- ACQUISITION OF EXTENDED STAY PROPERTIES

     On January 26, 1996, the Company acquired an existing extended stay
property from Apartment/Inn, L.P. for approximately $8,324,000 which was paid
for by the issuance of 293,629 shares of common stock plus the payment of
related expenses of $106,000 in cash.

     On February 23, 1996, the Company acquired two existing extended stay
properties from Hometown Inn I, LTD and Hometown Inn II, LTD for approximately
$9,603,000 which was paid for by the issuance of 428,608 shares of common stock
and $75,000 in cash plus the payment of related expenses of $175,000 in cash.

     These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of the properties are
included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations from
the date of acquisition.

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations are presented as if the acquisition of the above properties and the
related issuances of shares of common stock had occurred on January 9, 1995 (the
date of inception of the Company).  The statement for 1995 also is presented as
if the acquisition of the Marietta, Georgia extended stay lodging facility in
August 1995 had occurred on January 9, 1995 and reflects 

                                       4

NOTE 4 -- RELATED PARTY LEASES

     In the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company entered into (i) a 10-year
lease for a suite at Joe Robbie Stadium for a base rental of $115,000 per year,
subject to certain additional charges and periodic escalation, and (ii) a 3-year
lease for a suite at Homestead Motor Sports Complex for a base rental of $53,250
per year, subject to certain additional charges. The Chairman of the Company's
Board of Directors owns Joe Robbie Stadium and has an approximately 50% interest
in Homestead Motor Sports Complex.


NOTE 5 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Subsequent to March 31, 1996, the Company executed two purchase agreements
for the acquisition of two lodging facilities, each of which is subject to
certain terms and conditions. In addition, the Company received a commitment for
a new mortgage facility which is expected to provide up to $300 million in
mortgage financing, subject to certain conditions and limitations, for completed
facilities. The Company expects that upon completion of this new mortgage
facility, it will reduce the size of the existing mortgage facility to $100
million.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL
 
     The Company was organized in January 1995 to develop, own, and manage
extended stay lodging facilities. The Company began construction of its first
lodging facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina on February 1, 1995. This
facility was completed and commenced operations in August 1995. The Company's
activities during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 consisted of corporate
organization, site selection, and site development. The Company did not have
operating facilities or other revenue sources during the quarter ended March 31,
1995.

     As of March 31, 1996 the Company had 5 operating facilities, 17 facilities
under construction, and options to purchase 64 sites for development in 23
states. The Company expects to complete the construction of the facilities
currently under construction and to commence construction on the majority of
these sites under option during 1996. There can be no assurances, however, that
the Company will complete the acquisition of the sites under option or, if
acquired, commence construction during 1996 and the Company's ability to do so
may be materially impacted by various factors including zoning, permitting, and
environmental due diligence issues and weather-induced construction delays.

     Although the Company expects that the construction and development of new
extended stay lodging facilities will be its primary means of expansion, the
Company has also made, and may continue making, acquisitions of existing
extended stay facilities or other properties that are suitable for conversion
to the extended stay concept.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company acquired three
operating facilities (two in Norcross, GA and one in Riverdale, GA) and
commenced construction on eight additional facilities. On January 26, 1996, the
Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Apartment/Inn, L.P. which
owned and operated a 196-room economy extended stay lodging facility in
Norcross, Georgia. In consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued an
aggregate of 293,629 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock. On February 23, 1996, the Company acquired
substantially all of the assets of Hometown Inn I, LTD and Hometown Inn II, LTD
which owned and operated a 130-room economy extended stay lodging facility in
Norcross, Georgia and a 144-room economy extended stay lodging facility in
Riverdale, Georgia. In consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued an
aggregate of 428,608 shares of Common Stock and paid an additional $75,000 in
cash. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.

     On April 23, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
substantially all of the assets of American Apartmen-Tels Investors II, L.P.
which owns and operates a 59-room economy extended stay lodging facility in
Lenexa, Kansas, for a purchase price of approximately $3.3 million in cash.
This purchase includes adjacent land on which the Company intends to build a
new 60-room economy extended stay lodging facility. On May 1, 1996, the Company
also entered into an agreement to acquire from Kipling Hospitality Enterprises
Corporation a 145-room traditional lodging facility located in Lakewood,
Colorado, which the Company intends to remodel and convert to the economy
extended stay format. The purchase price will be approximately $3.0 million,
which the Company expects to pay by delivering shares of Common Stock. The
Company will account for these acquisitions using the purchase method of
accounting. Consummation of these proposed acquisitions is subject to a number
of conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   PROPERTY OPERATIONS

     The Company did not have operating facilities during the quarter ended
March 31, 1995. The Company began the quarter ended March 31, 1996 with two
operating facilities and acquired three additional operating facilities during
that quarter. During the period owned by the Company, these properties realized
average occupancy of 90% and average weekly room rates of $198 during the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.

     The properties recognized total room revenue of $1,137,841 and other
revenues, consisting of telephone and vending revenues which vary based on
occupancy, of $32,988 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Property
operating expenses, consisting of all expenses directly allocable to the
operation of the properties, but excluding any allocation of corporate operating
expenses and depreciation, were $442,540 or 37.8% of total revenues. Property
operating expenses include primarily salaries and wages, telephone, utilities,
property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and supply costs.

                                       6

  Depreciation of the cost of the facilities in the amount of $193,113 was
provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
properties.  The provision for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 reflects a pro-
rata allocation of the annual depreciation charge for the period for which the
properties were in operation.

CORPORATE OPERATIONS

  Corporate operating and property management expenses include all expenses not
directly related to the development or operation of facilities.  Expenses of
$1,580,655 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and $195,823 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 consist primarily of personnel expenses, professional and
consulting fees, and related travel expenses.  The increase in corporate
operating and property management expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
as compared with the quarter ended March 31, 1995 reflects an increase in
personnel and related expenses in connection with the Company's increased level
of operating properties and site development.  The total amount of these
expenses will increase in the future with the development of additional
facilities.

  Site selection costs of $823,733 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and
$52,778 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 consist of real estate and
construction personnel costs which are not directly related to a site that will
be developed by the Company, along with expenditures made to third parties for
services and costs related to the investigation of such sites.  The increase in
these costs for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared with the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 reflects the increased level of sites under development.
These costs will continue in the future and could increase depending on the rate
of expansion because the Company's development personnel must evaluate numerous
potential sites in an effort to identify sites meeting the Company's standards.

  Depreciation and amortization in the amount of $10,230 were provided during
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets for assets not directly related to the
operation of the facilities, including primarily organization costs and office
furniture and equipment.  These assets were acquired subsequent to March 31,
1995 and therefore no provision for depreciation and amortization was made for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

  The Company realized $1,450,132 of interest income during the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 which was primarily attributable to the short-term investment of
funds received from the initial capitalization of the Company in the third
quarter of 1995 and the consummation of the Company's initial public offering of
Common Stock and a concurrent offering of Common Stock to the Company's then
existing shareholders on December 19, 1995.  There were no funds held for
investment by the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  The Company had cash balances of $104,010,918 as of March 31, 1996 compared to
$123,357,510 as of December 31, 1995.  Substantially all of the cash balances as
of December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996 were invested in an overnight sweep
account with a commercial bank which invests in short-term, interest bearing
reverse repurchase agreements for U.S. government securities.  The market value
of the securities held pursuant to the agreements approximates the carrying
amount.  In consideration for the three existing facilities acquired by the
Company in the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company issued Common Stock
valued at approximately $17.9 million and paid cash, including the payment of
related expenses of approximately $356,000.  In addition, approximately $15.4
million was used to acquire land and develop and furnish the 17 sites under
construction during the quarter.  This compares to approximately $281,000 used
to develop one property during the first quarter of 1995.  A total of
approximately $2.7 million, less refunds of site deposits of $240,000, was used
for site deposits and preacquisition costs in the three months ended March 31,
1996, compared to approximately $120,000 used for such costs in the comparable
prior year period.

  During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company repaid outstanding
indebtedness of $630,200 under a note issued in connection with the purchase of
land for development.  This note was due January 2, 1996 and was repaid from the
Company's cash balances.  During the first quarter of 1996, the Company also
made payments of approximately $731,000 for initial public offering costs.
During the first quarter of 1995, the Company received proceeds from related
party loans of approximately $521,000.

  The Company expects to finance the construction and development of its lodging
facilities principally with its cash balances and with loans under mortgage
facilities.  The Company has an existing mortgage facility (the "Existing
Mortgage Facility") which provides for up to $200 million in loans, subject to
certain conditions and limitations, for facilities after completion of
construction.  The Company has also received a commitment for a new 

                                       7


mortgage facility which is expected to provide up to $300 million in mortgage
financing, subject to certain conditions and limitations, for completed
facilities. The Company expects that upon completion of this new mortgage
facility, it will reduce the size of the Existing Mortgage Facility to $100
million.

  The Company in the future may seek to increase the amount of its credit
facilities, negotiate additional credit facilities, or issue corporate debt
instruments.  Any debt incurred or issued by the Company may be secured or
unsecured, with a fixed or variable interest rate, and may be subject to such
terms as the Board of Directors of the Company deems prudent.  The Company
expects that it will need to procure additional financing over time, although
there can be no assurance that such financing will be available when needed.

EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement No. 121
("SFAS 121") "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed Of".  This statement requires the Company to
identify properties for which it has committed to an exit plan or which may be
otherwise impaired.  The fixed assets for such properties must be written down
to fair market value.  The Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS 121,
required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, will not result in
a reduction of net fixed assets or an increase in expenses in the fiscal year
1996 statement of operations.

  The FASB has also issued Statement No. 123 ("SFAS 123") "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation", effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995.  Under SFAS 123, companies are encouraged but not required to recognize
compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options, and other equity
instruments to employees based on fair value accounting rules.  Companies that
choose not to record compensation expense under the new rules will be required
to disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share under the new method.
The Company has not yet determined the financial statement impact of SFAS 123
and has elected not to recognize the impact of this pronouncement in its fiscal
1995 statement of operations, but will disclose as required in the fiscal 1996
financial statements on a pro forma comparative basis the effect of SFAS 123 on
net income and earnings per share.
