NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation:

In the opinion of Management, the accompanying financial statements contain all
adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Partnership at September 30, 1997
and December 31, 1996 and the results of its operations for the year-to-date
and quarterly periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

(2)  RELATED PARTIES

The General Partner, an affiliate, is generally empowered by the Partnership
Agreement to conduct, direct and exercise full control over all activities of
the Partnership. The Partnership will receive a final payment in 1997, in the
estimated amount of $1,035,000, on its unsecured claim against the General
Partner, which in 1991 filed for protection against its creditors under Chapter
11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. This final payment will increase total payments
received by the Partnership to approximately $1,793,000.

Total fees charged by Doubletree to the Partnership for management,
advertising, reservation and accounting services were $191,677 and $498,257
during the third quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively. Nuho Company, a
successor to PH Management Company (a previous management company) pursuant to
the bankruptcy plan, received residual management fees of $43,176 and $131,852
during the third quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively. Year-to-date,
Doubletree earned $1,476,321 for its services compared to $1,624,985 in the
first three quarters of 1996. Of these amounts, Nuho Company received residual
fees of $393,141 compared to $436,745 received in the first three quarters of
1996. In addition, Nuho Company was paid $7,150,000 by FelCor Suites Limited
Partnership in connection with the sale of the Partnership's hotels to
terminate its rights to its share of future management fees.

(3)  REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE NOTES

The first mortgage notes, in the amount of $45,340,207, were paid in full in
connection with the sale of the hotels (see Note 6). Pursuant to the amended
loan agreement, additional interest of $4,585,023 was paid to the lender. This
amount was equal to 25% of the difference between the sale proceeds from the
hotel, net of closing costs, and the outstanding principal balance of the first
mortgage notes and the Doubletree loan.

(4)  NOTE PAYABLE

On October 26, 1994, the Partnership borrowed $500,000 from Doubletree for
capital improvements. This note was paid in full in connection with the sale of
the hotels (see Note 6).

(5)  PARTNERSHIP ALLOCATIONS

For financial statement reporting purposes, net income is allocated 99 percent
to the Unitholders and 1 percent to the General Partner. The net income (loss)
allocated to the Unitholders for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
were $22,639,055 or $7.28 per unit, and $(259,380), or $(.08) per unit,
respectively. The net income allocated to the Unitholders for the first nine
months of 1997 was $24,657,473, or $7.93 per unit, compared to $497,463, or
$.16 per unit, for the same period of the previous year.

(6)  SALE OF THE HOTELS

On July 28, 1997 PSH Master L.P.I completed the sale of all three of its hotels
to FelCor Suites Limited Partnership, an affiliate of FelCor Suite Hotels,
Inc., for a gross sales price of $64,800,000. All buildings, improvements and
inventories were included in the sale. The sale, which was approved by a vote
of the Limited Partners, will result in a distribution to unit holders of all
net proceeds and a liquidation of PSH Master L.P.I. The anticipated payout will
approximate $5.50 per partnership unit.

The Partnership will make a cash distribution to the partners after receipt of
the final payment on the bankruptcy claim against the General Partner,
collection of accounts receivable and payment of accounts payable. Limited
partners will receive written instructions from the Partnership's transfer
agent, Harris Trust & Savings Bank, as to the procedures for redeeming their
Depositary Receipts for Units of Limited Partner Interest for cash. This payout
may be reduced by costs incurred in connection with the lawsuit described in
Note 7.

(7)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 17, 1997, Mr. James Pickett and Mr. Stephen Denz (Chairman and
Secretary, respectively, of PH Management company, the general partner of PC
Development Limited Partnership, the general partner of the Partnership) and
two affiliated companies, PH Management Company and Nuho Company, notified the
Partnership that they have been named as defendants in a complaint filed in
Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Equity Resource Pilgrim
Fund, the plaintiff, is the owner of 131,225 units of limited partnership
interest of the Partnership, which it acquired during May through September of
1997, in part through a written offer to purchase which it delivered to other
Limited Partners of the Partnership in March, 1997. The complaint alleges that
the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by negotiating a "super premium"
buyout of Nuho Company's interest in the management fees paid to Doubletree and
obtained an inadequate purchase price for the Partnership's hotels.

Contrary to the allegations in the complaint, the General Partner, on behalf of
the Partnership, and the Partnership's lender each obtained an independent
appraisal in connection with the sale of the hotels. Further, the purchase and
sale agreement negotiated with FelCor provided

                                       9
<PAGE>   10
the Partnership with the right to terminate the sale of the hotels if the
purchase price was less than 97% of the appraised value of the hotels, as
agreed to by the Partnership and the lender. In fact, the purchase price was in
excess of 99% of the average value of the two appraisals. Finally, the purchase
price of Nuho Company's interest in future management fees was based upon
reasonable and customary valuation methods.

Accordingly, the defendants maintain that the complaint is based upon
inaccurate assumptions and incomplete factual information and is without merit.
The defendants intend to vigorously defend themselves against the complaint and
will avail themselves to the indemnification and hold-harmless provisions of
the Partnership Agreement of the Partnership. Accordingly, the final
distribution of cash to the Limited Partners, the liquidation of the
Partnership and delivery of the final tax information to the Limited Partners
(Form K-1) have been delayed indefinitely until such time as the costs of
defending the complaint have been determined.

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

Due to the sale of the hotels on July 28, 1997, an analysis of liquidity and
capital resources and the results of operations for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1997 is not presented herein.
