REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors
Studio Plus Hotels, Inc.
Lexington, Kentucky

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Studio Plus
Hotels, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, capital and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Studio Plus
Hotels, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

 Business

     Studio Plus Hotels, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Studio Plus
Properties, Inc. (together, the "Company") own, develop and operate StudioPLUS
extended stay hotels and own the rights to the related trade name and service
marks for "StudioPLUS." StudioPLUS hotels are designed to combine the
convenience of a hotel with many of the comforts of an apartment in order to
provide affordable lodging for extended stay guests.

     At December 31, 1995 the Company had 22 hotels in operation and 7 under
construction. The hotels open and under construction are located in eight states
in the Midwest and Southeast United States.

 Corporate Organization and Initial Public Offering

     The Company was formed on December 19, 1994, to acquire, through merger and
exchange of partnership interests all of the assets of Studio Plus, Inc. and the
corporations and partnerships (collectively, the "Predecessor Entities") which
owned and operated StudioPLUS extended stay hotels. On June 26, 1995, the
Company completed an initial public offering of 3,565,000 shares of Common
Stock, including shares issued as a result of the exercise of the underwriters'
over-allotment option, at $15.00 per share (the "IPO") and received net proceeds
of approximately $48 million, net of underwriting discounts and IPO expenses.
Just prior to completion of the IPO, the Company acquired through merger and
exchange of Common Stock for partnership interest, the assets of the Predecessor
Entities which owned and operated all of the StudioPLUS extended stay hotel
properties then in operation or under development (the "Corporate
Organization"). The Company issued an aggregate of 1,548,500 shares of Common
Stock and paid $1.5 million of cash to the partners and shareholders of the
Predecessor Entities. The acquisition of the interests of the controlling
shareholder or partner and affiliates of the Predecessor Entities, has been
accounted for as if it were a pooling of interests with no increase in the
carrying value for the interests acquired. The acquisition of the third party
investors' interests has been accounted for as a purchase which resulted in an
increase to the carrying value of the underlying assets acquired of $10,475,000.
Pro forma results of operations have not been presented as the effects of the
acquisition of the third party investors' interests were not significant.

 Principles of Consolidation

     The December 31, 1995 consolidated financial statements presented herein
reflect Studio Plus Hotels, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Studio Plus
Properties, Inc. for the period subsequent to June 25, 1995 and combined
information of the Predecessor Entities for the period prior to June 26, 1995.

                                    Page 6


 
 
     The December 31, 1994 accompanying financial statements reflect combined
financial data for the Predecessor Entities.

     All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in the consolidation and combination.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Management's Estimates

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

  Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

  Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment is stated at cost, including interest and salaries
and related expenses for site design and construction supervision incurred
during the construction period. Expenditures for replacements and improvements
are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

     Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. A summary of the estimated useful lives of the
assets are as follows:




                                                                     
Buildings and improvements.........................................     40 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment..................................   5-10 years


     The carrying amounts of major assets sold, retired, or otherwise disposed
of, and the related accumulated depreciation amounts are eliminated from the
accounts. Any resulting gain or loss is included in income.

  Deferred Loan Costs

     The Company has incurred costs in obtaining financing. These costs have
been deferred and are being amortized over the life of the loan using the
straight-line method.

                                    Page 7


 
  Preopening Costs

     The Company capitalizes compensation, promotional costs and other costs
relating to the opening of new properties. Amortization is provided using the
straight-line method over a five year period for costs incurred through December
31, 1993. Commencing January 1, 1994 these costs are amortized using the
straight-line method over a twelve-month period.

  Concentration of Credit Risk

     The Company maintained deposits totaling $239,940 and $619,239 at December
31, 1994 and 1995, respectively with one bank. Deposits in excess of $100,000
are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

     Included in December 31, 1994 and 1995 accounts payable are amounts related
to purchases of property and equipment totaling approximately $677,000 and
$1,609,000, respectively. In addition, interest capitalized and included in the
cost of building and improvements for December 31, 1994 and 1995 was $152,679
and $157,592, respectively.

4. LONG-TERM DEBT

     On May 23, 1995 the Company entered into a $30 million revolving credit
agreement (the "Line of Credit") maturing in June 1998 to fund future
development and construction of additional hotels and for working capital.
Outstanding indebtedness under the credit agreement bears interest at either a
rate based upon the London Interbank Offering Rate or the prime interest rate,
at the selection of the Company. The interest rate on the outstanding
indebtedness adjusts periodically based upon prevailing rates. Interest is
payable monthly with the unpaid principal due at maturity. The Line of Credit
contains certain financial covenants, including maintenance


                                    Page 8


 
of a minimum debt service coverage ratio and a maximum ratio of debt to tangible
net worth and limitations upon the incurrence of additional debt without the
consent of the lender.

     At December 31, 1995, long term debt consisted of two separate loan
segments totaling $4,000,000, with a weighted average interest rate of 8.15%.
Borrowings under the Line of Credit are collateralized by 17 hotels with a
carrying value of $34,359,564 at December 31, 1995 and rents, profits, leases
and intangible property at all properties now or hereafter owned by the Company.
In February 1996 the Company amended its Line of Credit to increase its
borrowing capacity to $50 million.

     The Company used the net proceeds of the IPO to retire approximately $36.8
million of outstanding mortgage debt, which was guaranteed by the former
shareholders and partners of the Predecessor Entities, and approximately $3.1
million of loans from shareholders. In connection with the early extinguishment
of mortgage debt, the Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $184,618, net of
$123,079 in taxes, relating to the write-off of unamortized loan fees.

5. INCOME TAXES

     The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the
tax basis of existing assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates.
Deferred income taxes in the amount of $4,827,410 consists primarily of timing
differences relating to depreciation resulting from the increase in carrying
value of assets. The increase in the carrying value of assets is due to the
acquisition of third party investors' interests in connection with the Corporate
Organization.

     The components of the provision for income taxes reflected in the
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 are as
follows:


 
 
Currently payable:

                                                                       1,077,183
                                                                      ----------

  State.............................................................      85,661
                                                                      ----------
                                                                         593,276
                                                                      ----------
Provision for income taxes..........................................  $1,670,459
                                                                      ==========


     Prior to the Corporate Organization, the Company's operations were
conducted through S corporations and partnerships. Accordingly, the deferred tax
provision includes approximately $540,000 relating to recognition of a net
deferred tax liability representing temporary differences existing on the date
of the Corporate Organization. Prior to the Corporate Organization, income taxes
on earnings were paid by the shareholders and partners of the Predecessor
Entities.

6. OPERATING LEASES

     The Company leases office space under two operating leases expiring in 1996
and 1997. The leases are renewable for various periods. The future minimum
rental payments under the operating leases as of December 31, 1995 are as
follows:


 
 
                                                                     
1996................................................................... $155,164
1997...................................................................  138,964
                                                                        --------
    Total minimum payments required.................................... $294,128
                                                                        ========


     Rent expense on the office lease and other leases expiring during 1995 was
$132,864, $135,876 and $149,228 for 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

7. RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     Under the terms of the Company's Rights Agreement, one right (a "Right") is
attached to each share of Common Stock. Initially, each Right will entitle the
registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share (a
"Unit") of Class A Cumulative Participating Preferred Stock ("Class A Preferred
Stock"), of which 100,000 shares have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the
Rights Agreement. Each Unit of Class A Preferred Stock is structured to be the
economic equivalent of one share of Common Stock. The exercise price per Right
will be $56 subject to adjustment (the "Purchase Price").

     The Rights Agreement also provides that if any person becomes an Acquiring
Person (as defined below), proper provision shall be made so that each holder of
a Right (except as set forth below) will thereafter have the right to receive,
upon exercise and payment of the Purchase Price, Class A Preferred Stock or
Common Stock at the option of the Company (or, in certain circumstances, cash,
property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to twice the
amount of the Purchase Price.

     The Rights will separate from the Common Stock and a distribution of Rights
Certificates will occur (the "Distribution Date") upon the earlier of (i) 10
days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or
associated persons (an "Acquiring Person")

                                    Page 10


 
has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 15% or
more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Stock Acquisition Date"),
or (ii) 10 business days following the commencement of a tender offer or
exchange offer that would result in a person or group beneficially becoming an
Acquiring Person.

     Effective February 27, 1996, the Rights Agreement was amended to lower the
percentage of beneficial ownership required to be deemed an Acquiring Person
from 20% to 15% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (the
"Ownership Reduction"), and to add a provision which permits a person who
becomes an Acquiring Person, solely because of the Ownership Reduction, to
reduce its beneficial ownership of Common Stock to less than 15% by the close of
business on the tenth business day following notice from the Company that such
person's beneficial ownership equals or exceeds 15% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock to avoid classification as an Acquiring Person.

     In the event that, at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i)
the Company is acquired in a merger, statutory share exchange, or other business
combination in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or (ii) 50%
or more of the Company's assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each
holder of a Right (except as set forth below) shall thereafter have the right to
receive, upon exercise and payment of the Purchase Price, common stock of the
acquiring company having a value equal to twice the Purchase Price. The events
set forth in this paragraph and in the preceding paragraphs are referred to as
the "Triggering Events." The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution
Date and will expire at the close of business on June 30, 2000, unless earlier
redeemed or exchanged by the Company as described below or unless such
expiration date is extended pursuant to the Rights Agreement.

     The Purchase Price payable, and the number of shares of Class A Preferred
Stock, Common Stock or other securities or property issuable upon exercise of
the Rights, are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution.

     At any time after any person becomes an Acquiring Person, the Company may
exchange all or part of the Rights (except as set forth below) for shares of
Common Stock (an "Exchange") at an exchange ratio of one share per Right, as
appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split or similar transaction.

     At any time until ten days following the Stock Acquisition Date, the
Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per
Right (the "Redemption Price").

8. STOCK OPTIONS

     The Company has two stock option plans, the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (the
"1995 Plan") and the 1995 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Incentive Plan (the
"Directors Plan"). Under the 1995 Plan, an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common
stock have been reserved for awards. Grants or awards are issued at the
discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of

                                    Page 11


 
Directors and may be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock awards or performance share awards. Options granted to date
under the 1995 Plan expire ten years from the grant date. Any vesting period is
at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. At December 31, 1995 options to
acquire an aggregate of 474,500 shares of Common Stock had been granted under
the 1995 Plan at exercise prices ranging from $15.00 to $23.00 per share.
Options to acquire an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock were
exercisable at December 31, 1995. No options under the 1995 Plan were exercised
in 1995.

     Options granted under the Directors' Plan vest over a four year period from
the grant date and expire in ten years. The option price per share may not be
less than the fair market value of a share on the date the option is granted.
Under the Directors' Plan at December 31, 1995, options to acquire 30,000 and
10,000 shares had been granted at exercise prices per share of $15.00 and
$21.63, respectively. No options were exercisable under the Directors Plan at
year end or were exercised in 1995.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Prior to June 26, 1995, the assets of the Company were owned and operated
by the Predecessor Entities. The outstanding shares or other equity interests of
the Predecessor Entities differ substantially from the shares of Common Stock of
the Company outstanding after the IPO. Accordingly, the Company believes that
the presentation of historical per share information for the periods prior to
the IPO is not meaningful.

     The pro forma earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1995 has
been calculated by dividing the pro forma net income by the weighted average
number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding. Income before
extraordinary loss has been adjusted to pro forma income before extraordinary
loss by reflecting the tax that would have been paid by the Company if it had
been subject to income tax for the full year, assuming a 37.2% effective tax
rate. Prior to June 26, 1995, the Company was not fully subject to income taxes
due to the election of S corporation and partnership tax status by the
Predecessor Entities. If the Company had been subject to tax, it would have
incurred income tax expense of approximately $391,000, $615,000 and $1,371,000
for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

     The Company has also computed supplemental net income per common share to
be $0.82 for the year ended December 31, 1995. Supplemental net income of
approximately $3,549,000 has been computed by adjusting historical net income
for: (i) the elimination of interest expense on the debt repaid with a portion
of the proceeds of the IPO; (ii) the elimination of third party investors'
interest in the Predecessor Entities; (iii) the elimination of the extraordinary
loss; and (iv) provision for income taxes based on an effective tax rate of
37.2%. Supplemental weighted average number of common shares outstanding
(4,309,958 shares) is based on outstanding common shares from the beginning of
the period comprised of the following: (i) 1,548,500 shares issued to the
controlling shareholder and other minority investors; (ii) 100,000 shares issued
to acquire a third party investor's interest; and (iii) 2,661,458 shares issued
to fund the retirement of debt.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Borrowings from partners and shareholders of the Predecessor Entities were
$875,000 and $1,727,500 for 1994 and 1995, respectively. Principal repayments on
loans from shareholders and partners of the Predecessor Entities were $567,675
and $3,111,000 for 1994 and 1995, respectively. In addition, the Company
incurred interest expense of $73,625 and $156,851 for the same periods,
respectively, on shareholder debt.

     Prior to the IPO, the Company distributed $2,295,030 to the shareholders of
the Predecessor Entities in accordance with the merger agreements.

11. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" which is effective for
years beginning after December 15, 1995. The statement requires that long-lived
assets and certain intangibles to be held and used by entities be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If during the review the sum
of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset,
an impairment loss is recognized. The Company believes that the adoption of this
standard will not have a material impact on its financial condition or results
of operations.

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" which is effective for
transactions entered into after December 15, 1995. The pronouncement allows the
Company to continue its current method of accounting for stock options or use
the method prescribed in SFAS No. 123. The Company intends to continue its
current accounting method for stock options. Therefore, the impact of adopting
the statement will not materially affect the future reported results of
operations or the financial condition of the Company.

                           Studio Plus Hotels, Inc.
             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for
a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations have been
made. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Studio Plus Hotels, Inc. 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

     All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.

(2)  Income Taxes

     Net income for periods prior to the completion of the Company's initial
public offering on June 26, 1995 (the "IPO") excludes taxes on income. Prior to
the IPO, the Company was organized as S-corporations and partnerships (the
"Predecessor Entities"), and therefore, was not subject to income tax.

(3)  Stock Split

     On July 9, 1996, a three-for-two split of the Company's Common Stock was
effected in the form of a stock dividend of three shares of Common Stock for
each two shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on June 20,
1996. Effective with the stock split, Common Stock outstanding increased from
8,351,898 to 12,527,833 shares. Accordingly, all applicable share and per share
data have been adjusted for the stock split.

(4)  Earnings Per Share

     The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used in
the computation of earnings per share for the three months ended September 30,
1996, are as follows:



                                                    
     Weighted average common shares issued             12,527,833
     Dilutive effect of stock options                     289,070
                                                       ----------
     Weighted average number of common and   
        common equivalent shares                       12,816,903


     The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used in
the computation of earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, are as follows:


                                                    
     Weighted average common shares issued             10,873,823
     Dilutive effect of stock options                     306,739
                                                       ----------
     Weighted average number of common and             
        common equivalent shares                       11,180,562


     The pro forma earnings per share for the three month and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1995, have been calculated by dividing pro forma net income
by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be
outstanding. Net income has been adjusted to pro forma net income by reflecting
the tax that would have been paid by the Company if it had been subject to
income tax for the full period, assuming a 40.0% effective tax rate.

     The Company believes that the earnings per share calculations discussed
above, required in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15,
are not meaningful for periods prior to the IPO. Rather, if certain adjustments
are made to the combined historical operating results for the Predecessor
Entities and 7,672,500 shares are assumed outstanding the adjusted net income
per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 would be $0.32, compared
to $0.34 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

(5)  Reclasssifications

     Certain amounts within the prior year income statement captions have been
reclassified to provide consistency with current year presentation. These
reclassifications have no effect on net income of the prior year.
