MERISTAR HOSPITALITY OPERATING PARTNERSHIP,
L.P. 
 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

1.          Organization

MeriStar Hospitality Operating Partnership, L.P.
is the subsidiary operating partnership of MeriStar Hospitality
Corporation (MeriStar Hospitality, which is a real
estate investment trust, or REIT). We own a portfolio of
upscale, full-service hotels and resorts in the United States
and Canada. Our portfolio is diversified geographically as well
as by franchise and brand affiliations. As of September 30,
2003, we owned 101 hotels, with 26,290 rooms, all of which were
leased by our taxable subsidiaries and managed by Interstate
Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (Interstate Hotels). In
October 2003, we sold one hotel with 71 rooms.

Our taxable subsidiaries are parties to
management agreements with a subsidiary of Interstate Hotels to
manage all of our hotels. Under these management agreements, the
taxable subsidiaries pay a management fee for each property to a
subsidiary of Interstate Hotels. The taxable subsidiaries in
turn make rental payments to us under the participating leases.
Under the management agreements, the base management fee is 2.5%
of total hotel revenue, plus incentive payments based on meeting
performance thresholds that could total up to an additional 1.5%
of total hotel revenue. All of the agreements expire in 2010 and
have three renewal periods of five years each at the option of
Interstate Hotels, subject to some exceptions.

2.          Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Statements.We have prepared these unaudited
interim financial statements according to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have
omitted certain information and footnote disclosures that are
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements, accompanying notes
and other information included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Certain 2002 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
2003 presentation.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature,
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

Principles of Consolidation.Our consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of all wholly-owned and majority-owned
subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. In January 2003, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No.
(FIN) 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial
Statements. The interpretation addresses how to identify
variable interest entities and when to consolidate those
entities. Consolidation of variable interest entities is
required by the primary beneficiary. The interpretation applied
immediately to variable interest entities created after
January 31, 2003. The initial application of the
interpretation did not affect our results of operations or
financial condition as we have not obtained an interest in any
qualifying entity on or after January 31, 2003. On
October 9, 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46-6 which deferred to
December 31, 2003 the effective date for applying the
interpretation to variable interest entities created before
February 1, 2003. We do not expect the application of the
second phase of the interpretation to have a material effect on
our results of operations or financial condition.

Held for Sale Properties.We classify the properties we are
actively marketing as held for sale once all of the following
conditions are met:



| |   |                                                                                                                                                                            
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | Our board has approved the sale,                                                                                                                                           
|
| |  | We have a fully executed agreement with a
    qualified buyer which provides for no significant outstanding or
    continuing obligations with the property after sale, and
|
| |  | We have a significant non-refundable deposit.                                                                                                                              

We carry properties held for sale at the lower of
their carrying values or estimated fair values less costs to
sell. We cease depreciation at the time the asset is classified
as held for sale. If material to our total portfolio, we
segregate the held for sale properties on our consolidated
balance sheet.

Marketable Securities.We classify investments in equity
securities and debt securities with original maturities greater
than three months as marketable securities. We record debt
securities at amortized cost and equity securities at market
value based on quoted market prices. As of September 30,
2003, our marketable securities consisted of investments in debt
securities, including commercial paper and agency discount
notes. As of September 30, 2003, the securities had a fair
value of $1 million.

Cash and Cash Equivalents.We classify investments with original
maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. Our cash
equivalents include investments in debt securities, including
commercial paper, overnight repurchase agreements and money
market funds.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.We adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, on January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144
requires the current and prior period operating results of any
asset that has been classified as held for sale or has been
disposed of on or after January 1, 2002 and where we have
no continuing involvement, including any gain or loss
recognized, to be recorded as discontinued operations.

The provisions of SFAS No. 144 also require
that whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired that an
analysis be performed to determine the recoverability of the
assets carrying value. We make estimates of the
undiscounted cash flows from the expected future operations or
potential sale of the asset. If the analysis indicates that the
carrying value is not recoverable from these estimates of cash
flows, we write down the asset to estimated fair value and
recognize an impairment loss. Any impairment losses we recognize
on assets held for use are recorded as operating expenses. We
record any impairment losses on assets held for sale as a
component of discontinued operations.

We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 146,
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities, on January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 146
requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or
disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair
value only when the liability is incurred. Our strategy includes
the disposition of certain hotel assets, all of which are
managed under agreements that typically require payments to
Interstate Hotels upon termination. As a result, we may incur
termination obligations related to our asset dispositions. Any
such liability will be recognized at the time the asset
disposition is complete and a termination notice is provided to
Interstate Hotels. At that time, the recognition of the
termination obligation will be included in the calculation of
the final gain or loss on sale and will be included in
discontinued operations. For further discussion of potential
termination obligations, see Asset Dispositions
included in Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.

Gains and Losses From Extinguishments of Debt.We adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4,
No. 44 and No. 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and
Technical Corrections, on January 1, 2003. The
rescission of SFAS No. 4 and No. 64 requires that all
gains and losses from extinguishments of debt be classified as
extraordinary only if the gains and losses are from unusual or
infrequent transactions. It also requires prior period gains or
losses that are not from unusual and infrequent transactions to
be reclassified. See Note 6 for details on the early
extinguishment of substantially all of our 4.75% notes payable
to MeriStar Hospitality and a portion of our 8.75% notes payable
to MeriStar Hospitality during the third quarter of 2003.

Stock-Based Compensation.We adopted the recognition provisions
of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, as amended in December 2002 by SFAS
No. 148, on January 1, 2003 for new stock options
issued under our compensation programs. As permitted by SFAS
No. 148, we elected to apply the provisions prospectively,
which includes recognizing compensation expense for only those
stock options issued in 2003 and after. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2003, we granted 207,500 stock options
to employees which vest ratably over three years. Compensation
costs related to these stock options were not material to our
results of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003. We apply the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, in accounting for our stock options
issued under our compensation programs prior to January 1, 2003.
As we granted these stock options at fair market value, no
compensation cost has been recognized. For our other
equity-based compensation plans, we recognize compensation
expense over the vesting period based on the fair market value
of the award at the date of grant.

Had compensation cost been determined based on
fair value at the grant date for awards granted prior to our
adoption of the fair value method prescribed in SFAS
No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, our net loss and
per unit amounts would have been adjusted to the pro forma
amounts indicated as follows (dollars in thousands, except per
unit amounts):

Accounting for Guarantees.FASB FIN 45, Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an
interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and
rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34, became effective
on January 1, 2003. The interpretation requires recognition of
liabilities at their fair value for newly-issued guarantees. We
have no guarantees which require recognition under the
provisions of this interpretation.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.SFAS No. 149, Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities became effective on July 1, 2003. The
statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an
initial net investment meets the characteristics of a
derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing
component, amends the definition of an underlying derivative,
and amends certain other provisions. This statement applies to
any freestanding financial derivative instruments entered into
or modified after June 30, 2003. This standard did not
affect our results of operations or financial condition as we
have not entered into any freestanding financial derivative
instruments since June 30, 2003.

Liabilities and Equity in May 2003. The
provisions of the statement require many instruments which were
previously classified as equity to now be classified as a
liability (or an asset in some circumstances), including:
mandatorily redeemable instruments, instruments with repurchase
obligations and instruments with obligations to issue a variable
number of shares. The statement applied immediately to any such
financial instrument entered into or modified after May 31,
2003, and to all other instruments on July 1, 2003. We have
not entered into or modified any financial instruments within
the scope of this standard subsequent to May 31, 2003, nor do we
have any existing financial instruments that fall within the
scope of SFAS No. 150.


3.          Comprehensive
Loss

Comprehensive loss was $50.5 million and
$31.5 million for the three months ended September 30,
2003 and 2002, respectively. Comprehensive loss consisted of net
loss of $51.0 million and $30.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and
foreign currency translation adjustments.

Comprehensive loss was $335.5 million and
$36.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2003 and 2002, respectively. Comprehensive loss consisted of net
loss of $340.9 million and $37.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively,
foreign currency translation adjustments, and in 2002 a
$0.5 million fair value gain adjustment for derivatives.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2003
and 2002, we capitalized interest of $2.4 million and
$3.1 million, respectively.

In late 2002, due to the decision to market
non-core assets as a part of our program to dispose of assets
that do not fit our long-term strategy and changes in economic
conditions, we performed an analysis to determine the
recoverability of each of our hotel properties. Assets we have
identified as non-core typically have one or more of
the following characteristics: secondary market locations,
secondary brand affiliations, higher than average future capital
expenditure requirements, limited future growth potential, or an
over-weighted market location.

We recognized an impairment loss in 2002 on
certain non-core assets we were then actively marketing. Late in
the first quarter of 2003, we expanded our asset disposition
program to include a total of 16 non-core assets and recognized
an impairment loss of $56.7 million as a result of the
change in our expected holding period for these assets.

During the second quarter of 2003, we made the
determination to dispose of an additional 19 non-core assets,
for a total of 35 non-core assets included in our disposition
program. Also during the second quarter, due to the market
interest in certain of our other hotel assets, we decided to add
an additional six assets to our disposition program. Due to this
change in our expected holding period for these assets, we
recognized an additional impairment loss of $208 million
related to the contemplated disposition of these 41 assets
during the second quarter of 2003.

During the third quarter of 2003, we made the
determination to dispose of one additional asset and retain one
of our assets previously included in our disposition program. We
also changed our expected holding period

9

##### 



for another asset and revised our estimated sales
prices on certain other assets included in our disposition
program. As a result, we recognized an additional impairment
loss of $21 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2003. Including one asset sale in October, we
have sold seven hotels included in our asset disposition program
since January 1, 2003.


The impairment charges are based on our estimates
of the fair value of the properties to be disposed of. These
estimates require us to make assumptions about the sales prices
that we expect to realize for each property as well as the
timing of a potential sale. In making these estimates, we
consider the operating results of the assets, the market for
comparable properties, and quotes from brokers, among other
information. In nearly all cases, our estimates have reflected
the results of an extensive marketing effort and negotiations
with prospective buyers. Actual results could differ materially
from these estimates.

As of September 30, 2003, our property and
equipment included $8.6 million for one asset (sold in
October 2003 for a gain of approximately $7 million), which
met our criteria for held-for-sale classification. The remaining
hotels included in our asset disposition program do not meet the
probability criteria as prescribed by SFAS No. 144 to
classify as held-for-sale.

5.          Investment
in Affiliate

In 1999, we invested $40 million in MeriStar
Investment Partners, L.P. (MIP), a joint venture
established to acquire upscale, full-service hotels. Our
cost-basis investment is in the form of a partnership interest,
in which we earn a 16% cumulative preferred return. We recognize
the return quarterly as it becomes due to us. As of
September 30, 2003, cumulative preferred returns of
$16.6 million were due from MIP and included in accounts
receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. We
expect that any cumulative unpaid preferred returns will be paid
in the future from excess cash flow above our current return and
from potential partnership hotel disposition proceeds in excess
of debt allocated to individual assets. Given the current
economic environment, we do not expect MIPs operations to
provide adequate cash flow in the near term for significant
payment of our current returns or repayments of our cumulative
unpaid preferred returns. We evaluate the collectibility of our
preferred return based on our preference to distributions and
the underlying value of the hotel properties. Should the current
economic environment continue and the performance of the MIP
properties not improve, the value of our original investment may
also decline.

Aggregate future maturities as of
September 30, 2003 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

|                    |  |   |           |  |  |  |  | 

As of September 30, 2003, all of our debt
bore fixed rates of interest. Our overall weighted average
interest rate was 8.91%. Based on market prices at
September 30, 2003, the fair value of our long-term debt
was $1.81 billion.

Senior unsecured notes.These notes are unsecured obligations
of certain subsidiaries of ours, and MeriStar Hospitality
guarantees payment of principal and interest on the notes. These
notes contain various restrictive incurrence covenants, limiting
our ability to initiate or transact certain business activities
if specific financial thresholds are not achieved. One of those
thresholds is maintaining a 2 to 1 fixed charge coverage ratio
(as defined in the indentures, fixed charges only include
interest on debt obligations and preferred equity). As of
September 30, 2003, our fixed charge coverage ratio was
below 2 to 1, and therefore we were not permitted generally to
enter into certain transactions, including the repurchase of our
stock, the issuance of any preferred stock, the payment of
dividends, the incurrence of any additional debt, or the
repayment of outstanding debt before it comes due, except as
noted below.

There are certain exceptions with respect to the
incurrence of additional debt and early repayment of debt
features in the indentures. We currently have the ability to
incur $300 million of secured financing within restricted
subsidiaries. We also have a general carve-out to incur
$50 million of unspecified borrowings within a restricted
subsidiary. Additionally, we are permitted to repay subordinated
debt prior to its maturity from the proceeds of a pari passuor junior financing with a longer term than the debt
refinanced, an equity offering, or a financing within an
unrestricted subsidiary. We are also permitted to invest five
percent of consolidated net tangible assets (as defined in the
indentures) in unrestricted subsidiaries and mortgage the
properties contributed to the unrestricted subsidiaries. We
completed a qualifying transaction under this exception during
the third quarter of 2003 through a new secured facility
financing (see discussion below).

Secured facilities.On September 26, 2003, we
completed a $101 million, 10-year, commercial
mortgage-backed securities financing, secured by a portfolio of
four hotels, as permitted by the indentures to our senior
unsecured notes and MeriStar Hospitalitys senior
subordinated notes. The loan carries a fixed annual interest
rate of 6.88% and matures in 2013. We incurred approximately
$0.9 million in debt issuance costs related to the facility. The
proceeds will be used to repay debt carrying higher interest
rates or to fund capital expenditures or acquisitions to the
extent that higher interest rate debt cannot be acquired at
attractive prices.

We completed a $330 million non-recourse
financing secured by a portfolio of 19 hotels in 1999. The loan
bears a fixed annual interest rate of 8.01% and matures in 2009.
The secured facility contains standard provisions that require
the servicer to maintain in escrow cash balances for certain
items such as property taxes and insurance. In addition, the
facility contains a provision that requires our mortgage
servicer to retain in escrow the excess cash from the encumbered
hotels after payment of debt service (Excess Cash),
if net hotel operating income (NOI) for the trailing
twelve months declines below $57 million. This provision
was triggered in October 2002 and will be effective until the
hotels generate the minimum cash flow required for two
consecutive quarters, at which time the cash being held in
escrow will be released to us. Approximately $19.9 million
of cash was held in escrow under this provision as of
September 30, 2003. In July 2003, we signed an amendment to
the loan agreement that permits the release of cash placed in
escrow for all capital expenditures incurred on the 19
encumbered properties on or after April 1, 2003. Although the
servicer will continue to retain in escrow any excess cash from
the encumbered hotels, they will release cash for all capital

expenditures we have incurred from April 1,
2003 through the date of the amendment and future capital
expenditures we incur on the 19 properties. Escrowed funds
totaling approximately $11 million were available to fund
capital expenditures under this provision as of
September 30, 2003.


Notes payable to MeriStar Hospitality.On July 1, 2003, MeriStar
Hospitality completed an offering of $170 million aggregate
principal amount of 9.5% convertible subordinated notes due
2010. The convertible notes are unsecured obligations and
provide for semi-annual payments of interest each October 1 and
April 1. In conjunction with this transaction, we borrowed $170
million from MeriStar Hospitality under terms matching those of
the 9.5% convertible subordinated notes. We incurred
approximately $6.5 million in debt issuance costs related
to the borrowing.

The proceeds from the new borrowing were used to
repay $150.6 million of our 4.75% notes payable to MeriStar
Hospitality due 2004, at an aggregate discount of approximately
$1.4 million. The remaining proceeds from the borrowing
were used to repurchase $22.6 million principal amount of
our 8.75% notes payable to MeriStar Hospitality due in 2007, at
varying prices, resulting in an aggregate discount of
approximately $1.5 million. We recognized these gains,
totaling $2.9 million, during the third quarter of 2003.

Also during the third quarter, we redeemed
$18 million of the 8.75% notes payable to MeriStar
Hospitality in exchange for 2,792,880 common OP units, resulting
in a gain of $1.7 million. In October 2003, we repaid
$59.3 million of these notes, at varying prices. We expect
to recognize a loss of approximately $0.5 million during
the fourth quarter related to these repurchases. As of
November 1, 2003, we had approximately $105 million of
the 8.75% notes payable to MeriStar Hospitality outstanding.

Credit facility.In
May 2003, we reduced our borrowing capacity on our senior credit
facility from $100 million to $50 million and wrote
off approximately $0.7 million in related deferred
financing costs. As of September 30, 2003, we had no
outstanding borrowings under this facility.

This facility contains customary financial
compliance measures, which became more stringent on a quarterly
basis beginning in the first quarter of 2003. The sale of two
hotels during the fourth quarter of 2002, two in the first half
of 2003, as well as the settlement of our note receivable with
Interstate Hotels, negatively affected our leverage covenant due
to the loss of trailing 12-month EBITDA (as defined in the
credit agreement) on a pro forma basis. If we are not in
compliance with the leverage covenant or any other financial
covenants at the end of a quarterly measuring period, we will be
in default under the credit facility and will not be permitted
to borrow under the credit facility. We have obtained a waiver
of compliance with this leverage covenant from our lending
group, which was extended through November 19, 2003.
Because we do not anticipate needing to draw under the bank line
or having borrowing capacity to do so in the near term, we
expect to terminate the facility in late 2003. We have
approximately $0.6 million of unamortized capitalized
financing costs related to this facility as of
September 30, 2003, which would be written off should we
decide to terminate the facility.

Derivatives.We had
three swap agreements that did not qualify for treatment as
cash-flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 expire since
September 30, 2002, one in December 2002, one in April 2003
and one in July 2003. As of September 30, 2003, we had no
outstanding derivative instruments.

During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2003, we recognized $0.6 million and
$4.0 million, respectively, of income related to the
decrease in fair value of the liability recorded for the
interest rate swap in place in those time periods. For the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2003, we made cash
payments on this swap of $0.6 million and
$4.0 million, respectively. The change in fair value and
the swap payments are netted together on our statement of
operations, resulting in no effect on net income

During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002, we recognized $1.9 million and
$4.8 million, respectively, of income related to the
decrease in fair value of the liability recorded for the
interest rate swaps in place in those time periods. For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, we made
cash payments on those swaps of $3 million and
$9 million, respectively. The change in fair value and the
swap payments are netted together on our statement of
operations. During the nine months ended September 30,
2002, we also recognized a $4.7 million loss on the fair
value of derivatives no longer classified as cash-flow hedges
due to the repayment of the related hedged debt.

7.          Partnership
Units and Minority Interests

OP Units.Our
partnership agreement provides for five classes of partnership
interests: Common OP Units, Class B OP Units, Class C
OP Units, Class D OP Units and Profits-Only OP Units (POPs).

On September 24, 2003, MeriStar Hospitality
issued 12,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $7.20
per share ($82.9 million of net proceeds). In October 2003,
MeriStar Hospitality issued an additional 1,800,000 shares at a
price of $7.20 per share for $12.4 million of net proceeds.
In connection with this issuance, MeriStar LP, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of MeriStar Hospitality, contributed the
net proceeds to us in exchange for the same number of Common OP
Units, thereby increasing their limited partner interest from 90
percent to approximately 93 percent.

During the third quarter of 2003, we issued
2,792,880 Common OP Units in exchange for the redemption of
$18 million of our 8.75% notes payable to MeriStar
Hospitality (see Note 6). Also during 2003, MeriStar Hospitality
issued 211,721 shares of restricted stock to employees pursuant
to employment agreements, with an aggregate value of
$0.7 million.

Redeemable OP Unit holders converted 883,000 and
400,000 of their OP Units, with a value of $20.1 million
and $6.1 million, into MeriStar Hospitalitys common
stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and
2002 respectively. There were no material conversions for cash
during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

POPs totaling 50,000 were relinquished in
connection with the formal separation of management functions
with Interstate Hotels during the first quarter of 2003.
MeriStar Hospitality also issued 50,000 shares of its common
stock to a former executive officer and director in connection
with the separation.

In May 2002, we issued 162,500 POPs to an
executive officer pursuant to an employment agreement. If all of
the vesting criteria for the POPs were met, then each POP would
have a value equivalent to the value of one share of MeriStar
Hospitalitys common stock, which for this issuance totaled
$2.9 million.

9.          Commitments
and Contingencies

Litigation.In the
course of our normal business activities, various lawsuits,
claims and proceedings have been or may be instituted or
asserted against us. Based on currently available facts, we
believe that the disposition of matters that are pending or
asserted will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Minimum Lease Payments.We lease the land at certain of our
hotels under long-term arrangements from third parties. Certain
leases contain contingent rent features based on gross revenues
at the respective property. Future minimum lease payments
required under these operating leases as of September 30, 2003
were as follows (dollars in thousands):

|                    |  |   |        |

|                    |  |   |        | 

Our obligations under other operating lease
commitments, primarily for equipment and office space, are not
significant.

We lease certain office, retail and parking space
to outside parties under non-cancelable operating leases with
initial or remaining terms in excess of one year. Future minimum
rental receipts under these leases as of September 30, 2003 were
as follows (dollars in thousands):

|                    |  |   |        |

|                    |  |   |        | 

10.          Asset
Dispositions

We sold three hotels during the third quarter of
2002, two hotels in the fourth quarter of 2002, one in the first
quarter of 2003, one in the second quarter of 2003, and four
hotels in the third quarter of 2003. In October 2003, we sold
one hotel that met our criteria for held-for-sale classification
as of September 30, 2003 (see Note 4). Operating results
for these hotels, and where applicable the gain or loss on final
disposition, are included in discontinued operations.

The properties we intend to dispose of represent
approximately one-third of our total properties. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2003, the 35 disposition assets
accounted for approximately 20% of our consolidated revenue and
approximately 13% of consolidated operating income. For purposes
of this calculation, we exclude depreciation and amortization
and loss on asset impairments from operating income.

Hospitality are guarantors of our senior unsecured notes.
Certain of our subsidiaries are guarantors of MeriStar

for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and
2002, and consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine
