1 EXHIBIT 99.2 Report of Independent Auditors The Stockholders ClubHouse Hotels, Inc. We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, of the entities listed in Note 1 (ClubHouse Acquisition Hotels), and the related combined statements of income, changes in partners'/owner's deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Entities' 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 combined financial position at December 31, 1996 and 1995 of ClubHouse Acquisition Hotels and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Ernst & Young L.L.P.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of the ClubHouse Acquisition Hotels (the Entities), which consist of Albuquerque C.I. Associates, L.P. (Albuquerque); Topeka C.I. Associates, L.P. (Topeka); Valdosta C.I. Associates, L.P. (Valdosta); Wichita C.I. Associates III, L.P. (Wichita) (together, the Partnerships) and C.I. Nashville, Inc. (Nashville). The Entities are beneficially owned and/or managed by ClubHouse Hotels, Inc. (CHI). CHI is, indirectly, the managing general partner of the Partnerships and provides management and other services to all of the Entities. The accompanying combined financial statements were prepared to present the balance sheets and related results of operations and cash flows of the Entities and may not necessarily reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Entities that might have resulted had they actually operated as a stand-alone entity. The Entities are engaged in owning and operating hotels under the "ClubHouse Inns" brand name. Revenues are generated from hotel operations and related activities and are recognized when earned. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The interim financial statements have been prepared by the Entities without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Entities with respect to the results of their operations for the interim periods from January 1, 1996 to June 30, 1996 and from January 1, 1997 to June 30, 1997, have been included herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. 6 7 ClubHouse Acquisition Hotels Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and improvements 15-40 years Furniture and equipment 5-10 years Financing costs Term of loan Franchise costs Term of agreement Organization costs 5 years ADVERTISING COSTS Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $422,269 and $421,586, respectively. INCOME TAXES Nashville is the only entity for which a provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements because each partner of the Partnerships is individually responsible for reporting its respective share of partnership net income or loss. CASH For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash generally includes cash on hand and demand deposits with financial institutions. 7 8 ClubHouse Acquisition Hotels Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT FUND Under the terms of the Partnerships' management and certain of their debt agreements, the Partnerships are required to fund a reserve for repair and replacement of property equipment. The agreements generally call for the Partnerships to place between 3% and 4% of monthly gross revenues in this fund. Expenditures from this fund require the approval of CHI. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. SFAS No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Entities adopted SFAS No. 121 during 1995. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 had no impact on the operations of the Entities. 2.

Monthly principal and interest payments of $48,648 are due until maturity in March 2016. The interest rate on the note is 8.75% through March 1, 1997 and adjusting annually thereafter at 3.75% over the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury securities. This loan was modified in March 1996 to extend the maturity date for 20 years. The interest rate at December 31, 1995 was 10%. 9 10 ClubHouse Acquisition Hotels Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 4. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) (b) Topeka's mortgage notes payable are collateralized by substantially all of Topeka's property and equipment and are payable in monthly installments of principal and interest through maturity in November 2011. Topeka has the option to fix the interest rate at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka's advance rate plus 2% for one-, two- or three-year periods. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the interest rate was 8.75% and 6.75%, respectively. (c) On June 1, 1992, Valdosta's 8% mortgage note was assigned by the Resolution Trust Corporation to the current lender. Quarterly payments of 25% of net cash flow, as defined, are applied to interest accrued during the period from July 1, 1992 to February 28, 1993. At December 31, 1996, such accrued interest amounted to $53,952. Monthly principal and interest payments of $32,811 are payable through and including March 1, 2000 at which time all outstanding amounts due under the note become due and payable in full. The mortgage note is collateralized by substantially all of Valdosta's property and equipment. (d) Wichita's mortgage note bears interest at 7.95% and requires monthly installments of $28,333, including interest, through maturity in October 2005. The note is collateralized by substantially all of Wichita's assets. Wichita's previous variable rate mortgage note required monthly payments of principal plus interest at 10.75% through maturity in June 1995. Thereafter, Wichita made monthly payments of interest only through September 1995 at which time the remaining principal balance was repaid with the proceeds of the new mortgage note. (e) Nashville's demand note payable is secured by a deed of trust on the property. Interest only payments at 8.5% are due monthly. The note agreement has "targeted" a minimum working capital position of $100,000. Contingent interest payments are due to the extent that working capital exceeds $100,000. Total interest is not to exceed 12.5% per year. Principal payments are due only to the extent that working capital exceeds the level needed to pay interest at the rate of 12.5%. Contingent interest incurred during 1996 was $76,948. No contingent interest was incurred in 1995. The owner has agreed not to demand repayment of the note in 1997. Accordingly, this note has been classified as long-term in the accompanying balance sheets. Cash paid by the Entities for interest in 1996 and 1995 was $1,778,732 and $1,869,368, respectively. 10 11 ClubHouse Acquisition Hotels Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 4. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED) Principal maturities for long-term debt are as follows: 1997 $ 424,151 1998 420,105 1999 449,746 2000 3,545,284 2001 405,055 Thereafter 9,831,135 -------------- $ 15,075,476 ============== 5. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes for Nashville consists of the following: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 1995 1996 --------- -------- Current: Federal $ - $ - State - - --------- -------- - - Deferred: Federal (14,878) 9,132 State (2,626) 1,612 Change in deferred tax asset valuation allowance 17,504 (10,744) --------- -------- - - --------- -------- Total income tax expense $ - $ - ========= ======== 11 12 ClubHouse Acquisition Hotels Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 5. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) The reconciliation of income taxes at the statutory rate to income taxes at the effective rate is as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 1995 1996 -------------- -------------- Statutory rate $ 17,676 $ - State and local taxes 1,641 - Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards (19,317) - -------------- -------------- $ - $ - ============== ============== Nashville incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996. Accordingly, there is no reconciliation of income taxes at the statutory rate to income taxes at the effective rate. Nashville provides deferred income taxes to reflect the impact of temporary differences between the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. The significant temporary differences and carryforwards and their related deferred tax asset (liability) and deferred tax asset valuation allowance balances are as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 1995 1996 -------------- -------------- Property and equipment $ (19,308) $ (30,052) Net operating loss carryforward 1,071,038 1,071,038 Deferred tax asset valuation allowance (1,051,730) (1,040,986) -------------- -------------- $ - $ - ============== ============== 12 13 ClubHouse Acquisition Hotels Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 5.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS Each of the Entities has a management agreement with ClubHouse Inns of America, Inc. (CIA), an affiliate of the general partner of each partnership and a wholly owned subsidiary of CHI, to manage the Entities' hotels and provide accounting services. In addition, the Entities are obligated under a franchise agreement with CIA to pay royalty and marketing fees along with their share of the costs of the ClubHouse Inns' central reservation system. The Entities may also purchase goods at cost through CIA's centralized purchasing service. 7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of the Entities' financial instruments for which it was practicable to estimate that value. CASH - The carrying amount of cash approximates its fair value. REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT FUND - The carrying amount of cash reserves for repair and replacement of hotel property and equipment approximates their fair value. 13 14 ClubHouse Acquisition Hotels Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE NOTES - The interest rates on the Entities' variable rate real estate mortgage notes adjust periodically with changes in the "base rate." Consequently, the carrying amount of the variable rate notes approximates fair value. Fair value of fixed rate real estate mortgage notes is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current market rates offered for similar debt issues. In all cases, the carrying amount of the fixed rate real estate mortgage notes approximates fair value. NOTE PAYABLE TO OWNER - It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of Nashville's note payable to owner due to the limited sources of comparable financing with which to base fair value estimates. Information regarding the carrying amount, repayment terms and maturity is included in Note 4. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 31, 1997, Wyndham Hotel Corporation (Wyndham) acquired CHI. In connection with the acquisition of CHI, Wyndham acquired direct or indirect ownership of the Entities. 14
