EXTENDED STAY AMERICA, INC.



NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



June 30, 2003



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). In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words Extended Stay America, Company, we, ours, and
us refer to Extended Stay America, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise. 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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.



The condensed consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 2002 was derived from audited financial statements of the
Company but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.



Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2003. 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, 2002.



The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June
30, 2003 and 2002, does not include approximately 10.0 million and 2.4 million, respectively, weighted average shares, and for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 does not include approximately 10.2 million and 2.3 million, respectively,
weighted average shares of common stock represented by outstanding options because the exercise price of the options for the periods was greater than the average market price of common stock during the period.



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





Income Taxes



Our estimated annual effective income tax rate decreased during 2002 from 40% to 39%, reflecting a reduction in estimated state income taxes
resulting from state tax planning and credits. Accordingly, the provision for income taxes in the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 reflects a reduction in expense of approximately $3.0 million, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2002,
associated with adjusting our deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the lower rate.





Stock Option Plans



At June 30, 2003, we have six stock-based employee compensation plans. We account for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. We incurred approximately $122,000, net of tax, in non-cash charges associated with the valuation of stock options for terminated employees. No other
stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the
effect on net income and earnings per share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, and 2002 as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

New Accounting Pronouncements



In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities, to expand upon and strengthen existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity in its financial statements. To improve financial
reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities (more commonly referred to as special-purpose entities or off-balance sheet structures), FIN 46 requires that a variable interest entity be consolidated by a company if that company is
subject to a majority risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. Prior to FIN 46, a company generally included another entity in its consolidated
financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to older entities in the first fiscal year
or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on our financial statements.



In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the financial accounting and
reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The adoption of this
statement will not have a material effect on our financial statements.



In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, which is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31,
2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both
liabilities and equity. The adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on our financial statements.





Related Party Transactions



The Chairman of our Board of Directors serves as a director of a company to
which we sublease office space. The sublease provides for monthly rent of $52,157 through December 2004. Effective June 1, 2003, the sublease was amended to extend the sublease term and adjust the monthly rent as follows:



|June 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003    |  | $39,490 per month
|------------------------------------ |  | -----------------
|January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004 |  | $42,255 per month
|January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005 |  | $43,440 per month
|January 1, 2006 to December 12, 2006 |  | $47,388 per month

---

The reduced rate was offered to ensure prompt and continued payments under the terms of the sublease and
to reflect current market conditions. In the event of default, the amendment would be nullified and the monthly rent would return to the amount payable under the original sublease agreement.



On December 17, 2001, the company to which we sublease this office space
filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. We have continued to receive rent payments under the sublease, and the company has not repudiated the sublease. The Bankruptcy Court has approved the
amendment to the sublease described above.

|ITEM2. |  | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------ |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



General



We own and operate three brands in the extended stay lodging marketStudioPLUS Deluxe Studios® (StudioPLUS), EXTENDED STAYAMERICA Efficiency Studios® (EXTENDED STAY), and Crossland Economy Studios® (Crossland). Each brand is designed to appeal to different price points
generally below $500 per week. All three brands offer the same core components: a living/sleeping area; a fully-equipped kitchen or kitchenette; and a bathroom. StudioPLUS facilities serve the mid-price category and generally feature guest rooms
that are larger than those in our other brands, an exercise facility, and a swimming pool. EXTENDED STAY rooms are designed to compete in the economy category. Crossland rooms are typically smaller than EXTENDED STAY rooms and are targeted for the
budget category.



The table below provides a summary of our
selected development and operational results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Average occupancy
rates are determined by dividing the number of rooms occupied on a daily basis by the total number of rooms. Average weekly room rates are determined by dividing room revenue by the number of rooms occupied on a daily basis for the applicable period
and multiplying by seven. The average weekly room rates generally will be greater than standard room rates because of (1) stays of less than one week, which are charged at a higher nightly rate, (2) higher weekly rates for rooms that are larger than
the standard rooms, and (3) additional charges for more than one person per room. We expect that our future occupancy and room rates will be affected by a number of factors, including the impact of the U.S. economy on demand for lodging products,
the amount of competing lodging products in markets where we operate, the number and geographic location of our new facilities, and the season in which we open those facilities. We cannot assure you that we can maintain our occupancy and room rates.



At June 30, 2003, we had 463 operating facilities (39
Crossland, 329 EXTENDED STAY, and 95 StudioPLUS) and had 12 EXTENDED STAY facilities under construction. We expect to complete the construction of the facilities currently under construction generally within the next twelve months; however, we
cannot assure you that we will complete construction within the time periods we have historically experienced. Our ability to complete construction may be materially impacted by various factors including final permitting, obtaining certificates of
occupancy, and weather-induced construction delays.

We realized an overall decrease of 3.9% in REVPAR (revenue per available room) for the second quarter of
2003 as compared to the second quarter of 2002. The decrease in overall average occupancy rates for the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 reflects, primarily, the impact of a general decline in demand for lodging products
as a result of the weakened U.S. economy and the war in Iraq. The increase in overall average weekly room rates for the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 is due to increases in rates charged in previously opened
properties and, for the EXTENDED STAY brand, the geographic dispersion of properties opened since June 30, 2002 and the higher standard weekly rates in certain of these markets.



Comparable hotels, consisting of the 389 properties opened for at least one year at the beginning of the first quarter of
2002 (excluding three EXTENDED STAY properties located in Salt Lake City, Utah that were impacted by one-time rental contracts during the 2002 Winter Olympics, the Olympic Properties), realized the following percentage changes in the
components of REVPAR for the second quarter of 2003 as compared with the second quarter of 2002:



|                              |  | Crossland |    |  | EXTENDED STAY |    |  | StudioPLUS |    |  | Total |   
|----------------------------- |  | --------- | -- |  | ------------- | -- |  | ---------- | -- |  | ----- | --
|Number of Comparable Hotels   |  | 39        |    |  | 257           |    |  | 93         |    |  | 389   |   
|Change in Occupancy           |  | (6.0      | )% |  | (7.1          | )% |  | (5.6       | )% |  | (6.7  | )%
|Change in Average Weekly Rate |  | 0.4       | %  |  | 1.2           | %  |  | 0.9        | %  |  | 1.1   | % 
|Change in REVPAR              |  | (5.6      | )% |  | (6.0          | )% |  | (4.7       | )% |  | (5.7  | )%



We believe that the
percentage changes in the components of REVPAR for our brands differ primarily as a result of the number and geographic dispersion of the comparable hotels.



We recognized total revenue of $141.2 million for the second quarter of 2003 and $142.8 million for the second quarter of 2002. This is a decrease of $1.6
million, or 1%. Properties that we owned and operated throughout both periods (comprised of the 443 properties in operation at March 31, 2002) experienced an aggregate decrease in revenue of approximately $6.6 million. This was partially offset by
approximately $5.0 million of incremental revenue attributed to properties opened after March 31, 2002.



Property operating expenses, consisting of all expenses directly allocable to the operation of our facilities but excluding any allocation of corporate
operating and property management expenses, depreciation, and interest were $65.2 million (46% of total revenue) for the second quarter of 2003, compared to $63.1 million (44% of total revenue) for the second quarter of 2002. We expect the ratio of
property operating expenses to total revenue to generally fluctuate inversely relative to REVPAR increases or decreases because the majority of these expenses do not vary based on REVPAR. We realized an overall decrease of 3.9% in REVPAR for the
second quarter of 2003 as compared to the second quarter of 2002 and our property operating margins were 54% for the second quarter of 2003 and 56% for the second quarter of 2002.



The provisions for depreciation and amortization for our lodging facilities were $19.8 million and $19.5 million for the
second quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. These provisions were computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. These provisions reflect a pro rata allocation of the annual depreciation and amortization
charge for the periods for which the facilities were in operation. Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of 2003 increased as compared to the second quarter of 2002 because we operated 14 additional facilities in 2003 and because we
operated for a full quarter the 6 properties that were opened in the second quarter of 2002.





Corporate Operations



Corporate operating and property management expenses include all expenses not directly related to the development or operation of lodging facilities.
These expenses consist primarily of personnel and certain marketing costs, as well as development costs that are not directly related to a site that we will develop. We incurred corporate operating and property management expenses of $12.3 million
(9% of total revenue) in the second quarter of 2003 and $12.1 million (8% of total revenue) in the second quarter of 2002. We generally expect these expenses to increase as we develop and operate additional facilities in the future.



Depreciation and amortization was $213,000 in the second quarter of 2003 and
$194,000 for the comparable period in 2002. These provisions were computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for assets not directly related to the operation of our facilities. These assets were primarily
the corporate headquarters building, office furniture, and equipment.

We realized $29,000 of interest income in the second quarter of 2003 and $120,000 in the second quarter
of 2002. This interest income was primarily attributable to the temporary investment of funds from operations as well as funds drawn under our credit facilities. We incurred interest charges of $20.7 million during the second quarter of 2003 and
$21.3 million during the second quarter of 2002. Of these amounts, $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2003 and $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2002 were capitalized and included in the cost of buildings and improvements.



We recognized income tax expense of $9.6 million and $10.9 million (39% of
income before income taxes in each period) for the second quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Our income tax expense differs from the federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to state and local income taxes.





For the
Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002



Property
Operations



Operating results for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 include the impact of one-time rental contracts during the 2002 Winter Olympics at the Olympic Properties. We estimate that these contracts generated additional non-recurring net income of approximately $1.2 million, or $0.01 per
diluted share for the six-month period.



We realized average
occupancies of 64% and average weekly room rates of $324 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, and, including the Olympic Properties, we realized average occupancies of 69% and average weekly room rates of $316 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2002. This resulted in a decrease of 4.2% in overall REVPAR for the period when compared to the same period last year.



Excluding the Olympic Properties, the following is a summary of the number of properties in operation at the end of each period along with the related
average occupancy rates and average weekly room rates during each period:

Excluding the Olympic
Properties, we realized an overall decrease of 3.5% in REVPAR for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period of 2002. The decrease in overall average occupancy rates for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same
period of 2002 reflects, primarily, the impact of a general decline in demand for lodging products as a result of the weakened U.S. economy and the war in Iraq. The increase in overall average weekly room rates for the six months ended June 30, 2003
compared to the same period of 2002 is due to increases in rates charged in previously opened properties and, for the EXTENDED STAY brand, the geographic dispersion of properties opened since June 30, 2002 and the higher standard weekly rates in
certain of these markets.



Comparable hotels, consisting of the
389 properties opened for at least one year at the beginning of the first quarter of 2002 (excluding the Olympic Properties), realized the following percentage changes in the components of REVPAR for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared
with the same period of 2002:

We believe that the percentage changes in the components of REVPAR for our brands differ primarily as a
result of the number and geographic dispersion of the comparable hotels.



The percentage changes in the components of REVPAR for comparable hotels experienced in the six months ended June 30, 2003 reflect a decrease in REVPAR of 4.9% in the first quarter of 2003 and a decrease in REVPAR of
5.7% in the second quarter of 2003 when compared to the same periods in 2002.



We recognized total revenue of $266.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and $267.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This is a decrease of $1.1 million, or less than one percent. Properties
that we owned and operated throughout both periods (comprised of the 431 properties in operation at December 31, 2001) experienced an aggregate decrease in revenue of approximately $13.9 million (including incremental revenue at the Olympic
Properties of approximately $2.0 million). This was partially offset by approximately $12.8 million of incremental revenue attributed to properties opened after December 31, 2001.



Property operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $131.1 million (49% of total revenue), compared to
$123.4 million (46% of total revenue) for the six months ended June 30, 2002. We did not incur significant incremental property operating expenses at the Olympic Properties during the first quarter of 2002. We expect the ratio of property operating
expenses to total revenue to generally fluctuate inversely relative to REVPAR increases or decreases because the majority of these expenses do not vary based on REVPAR. We realized an overall decrease of 4.2% in REVPAR for the six months ended June
30, 2003 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002. Our property operating margins were 51% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 54% for the six months ended June 30, 2002.



The provisions for depreciation and amortization for our lodging facilities were $39.6 million and $38.5 million for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased as compared to the same period of 2002 because we operated 14 additional facilities in 2003 and because we
operated for a full six months the 18 properties that were opened in the first six months of 2002.





Corporate Operations



We incurred corporate operating and property management expenses of $24.3 million (9% of total revenue) in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and $24.2
million (9% of total revenue) in the six months ended June 30, 2002.



Depreciation and amortization for assets not directly related to the operation of our facilities was $386,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and $390,000 for the same period in 2002.



We realized $99,000 of interest income in the six months ended June 30, 2003
and $360,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. This interest income was primarily attributable to the temporary investment of funds from operations as well as funds drawn under our credit facilities. We incurred interest charges of $41.0
million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and $42.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Of these amounts, $2.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 were capitalized and
included in the cost of buildings and improvements.



Our
effective income tax rate for 2002 decreased from 40% to 39%, reflecting a reduction in estimated state income taxes resulting from state tax planning and credits. Accordingly, the provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2002 reflected a
reduction in expense of approximately $3.0 million associated with adjusting our deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the lower rate. The $3.0 million reduction in tax expense and the decrease in our effective rate during 2002 resulted in
the recognition of income tax expense of $12.8 million and $13.3 million (39% and 32%, respectively, of income before income taxes) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Excluding the impact of our effective income
tax rate decrease, our income tax expense differs from the federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to state and local income taxes.





Liquidity and Capital Resources



We had net cash and cash equivalents of $10.4 million as of June 30, 2003
and $6.6 million as of December 31, 2002. We had approximately $3.6 million and $5.6 million invested in short-term money market depository accounts at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Deposits in excess of $100,000 are not insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. During these



10



---

periods, we also deposited excess funds in an overnight sweep account with a commercial bank, which in turn invested these funds in short-term,
interest-bearing reverse repurchase agreements. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we did not take possession of the securities, which were instead held by the financial institutions. The market value of the securities held pursuant
to these arrangements approximates the carrying amount.



Our
operating activities generated cash of $76.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and $89.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002.



We used $72.0 million to acquire land and develop and furnish a total of 20 sites opened or under construction in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and
$104.4 million for 29 sites in the six months ended June 30, 2002.



Our cost to develop a property varies significantly by brand and by geographic location due to differences in land and labor costs. Similarly, the average weekly rate charged and the resultant cash flow from these properties will vary
significantly but generally are expected to be in proportion to the development costs. For the 422 properties we opened from January 1, 1996 through December 31, 2002, the average development cost was approximately $5.9 million with an average of
107 rooms. However, since January 1, 2000, we have opened a number of properties in the Northeast and West, where average development costs are higher. Accordingly, the average development cost per property for the 101 properties we opened from
January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2002, was $8.1 million. We plan to continue to develop properties nationwide, including in the Northeast and West, and expect overall average development costs to be approximately $8.2 million per property in
2003.



We incur costs relating to each of our sites prior to
the time we actually acquire the property. These pre-acquisition costs relate primarily to qualification of the site and include legal and environmental expenses and costs pertaining to our development professionals. These costs also include options
to purchase the parcels of real estate, which we may forfeit under certain circumstances. These pre-acquisition costs are capitalized when it is probable that we will acquire the site. In the event we do not acquire one of these sites, the costs
associated with that site are charged to corporate operating expenses. At June 30, 2003, we had approximately $16.1 million of pre-acquisition costs and approximately $2.2 million of option purchase costs included in facilities under development in
Property and Equipment.



We received net proceeds from the
exercise of options to purchase common stock totaling $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and $4.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002.



In addition to our $200 million 9.15% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 and our $300 million 9.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011, we have a $900
million credit facility (the Credit Facility), which provides for revolving loans and term loans on a senior collateralized basis. Loans under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either a prime-based rate or a
LIBOR-based rate, plus an applicable margin. At June 30, 2003 we had outstanding loans of $20 million under the $200 million revolving facility and $641.2 million, net of principal repayments, outstanding under the term loans, leaving $180 million
available and committed under the Credit Facility. In January 2002, we borrowed $100 million pursuant to a delayed draw term loan under the Credit Facility. The proceeds of this borrowing were used to repay amounts outstanding under the revolving
facility and for working capital purposes. In order to minimize interest expense incurred under the Credit Facility, we prepaid $25 million in March 2002. Availability of the revolving facility is dependent upon us satisfying certain financial
ratios of debt and interest compared to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, with these amounts being calculated pursuant to definitions contained in the Credit Facility documents, as amended.



Effective July 1, 2003, the Credit Facility was amended to provide additional
flexibility for future development as well as flexibility in response to continued economic uncertainty. The amendment established a total leverage covenant (defined as the ratio of our consolidated debt to our consolidated EBITDA, each as defined
in the Credit Facility documents) of 5.50 for the period from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2005, 5.25 for the period from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006, and 5.00 from July 1, 2006 and thereafter. The existing pricing grid pertaining to outstanding loans
on the $200 million revolving facility and $200 million in term loans was amended to provide for an additional 0.25% of interest if total leverage is greater than or equal to 5.00. In addition, the amendment provided for a fixed margin of 3.75% over
LIBOR on $500 million in term loans. The amendment also limited capital expenditures to $65 million in the six months ending December 31, 2003, $175 million in 2004, $200 million in 2005, and $250 million in each of 2006 and 2007, with a provision
permitting up to $25 million of unused capital expenditures to be carried forward to the following period.



11



---

We had $1.5 million in outstanding letters of credit as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002,
respectively. These letters of credit are being maintained as security for construction related performance and will expire between December 2003 and October 2006. If required, use of the letters of credit would draw against the revolving facility.



Our primary market risk exposures result from the variable
nature of the interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility. We entered into the Credit Facility for purposes other than trading or speculation. Based on the levels of borrowings under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2003, if interest rates
changed by 1.0%, our annual cash flow and net income would change by $4.0 million. We manage our market risk exposures by periodic evaluation of these exposures relative to the costs of reducing the exposures, by entering into interest rate swaps,
or by refinancing the underlying obligations with longer term fixed rate debt obligations. We do not own derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.



In connection with the Credit Facility, the 9.15% Senior Subordinated Notes, and the 9.875% Senior Subordinated Notes, we
incurred additions to deferred loan costs of approximately $30,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and approximately $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002.



At June 30, 2003, we had 12 sites under construction with total development costs of approximately $96 million and had
acquired two parcels of real estate for future development. We currently plan to complete construction on those 12 sites in 2003. At this time, we believe we will be successful in obtaining extensions on a majority of the 30 sites for which we had
purchase options at June 30, 2003, if needed. We will continue to seek the necessary approvals and permits for these sites and for additional sites, and may acquire additional parcels of real estate for future development. Construction will commence
as soon as possible within the constraints of our amended Credit Facility and contingent upon a number of factors, including improvements in the overall U.S. economy, improvements in demand for lodging products in the overall lodging industry, and
improvements in demand for our extended stay lodging products. Assuming recent trends continue throughout the remainder of the year, we intend to commence construction, primarily during the fourth quarter of 2003, on 8 to 10 sites, which we expect
to have total development costs of approximately $70 million.



At June 30, 2003 we had commitments under cancellable construction contracts not reflected in our financial statements totaling approximately $36 million to complete construction of extended stay properties. We believe that the remaining
availability under the Credit Facility, together with cash on hand and cash flows from operations, will provide sufficient funds to continue our expansion as presently planned and to fund our operating expenses, including our working capital
deficit, for the next twelve months. We may increase our capital expenditures and property openings in future periods, in which case our capital needs will increase. We may also need additional capital depending on a number of factors, including the
number of properties we construct or acquire, the timing of that development, the cash flow generated by our properties and the amount of any open market repurchases we make of our common stock. Also, if capital markets provide favorable
opportunities, our plans or assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, our existing sources of funds prove to be insufficient to fund our growth and operations, or if we consummate acquisitions, we may seek additional capital sooner than
currently anticipated. In the event we obtain additional capital, we may seek to increase property openings in future periods. Sources of capital may include public or private debt or equity financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. Our failure to raise additional capital could result in the delay or abandonment of some or all of our development and expansion plans, and could have a material adverse effect on us.





New Accounting Pronouncements



In January
2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to expand upon and strengthen existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of another entity
in its financial statements. To improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities (more commonly referred to as special-purpose entities or off-balance sheet structures), FIN 46 requires that a variable interest
entity be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. Prior to FIN 46, a company
generally included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31,
2003, and to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on our financial statements.



12



---

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, which is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the financial accounting and reporting for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The adoption of this statement will
not have a material effect on our financial statements.



In May
2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, which is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise
is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.
The adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on our financial statements.





Seasonality and Inflation



Based upon the operating history of our facilities, we believe that extended stay lodging facilities are not as seasonal in nature as the overall lodging
industry. We do expect, however, that our occupancy rates and revenues will be lower than average during the first and fourth quarters of each calendar year. Because many of our expenses do not fluctuate with changes in occupancy rates, declines in
occupancy rates may cause fluctuations or decreases in our quarterly earnings.



The rate of inflation as measured by changes in the average consumer price index has not had a material effect on our revenue or operating results during any of the periods presented. We cannot assure you, however,
that inflation will not affect our future operating or construction costs.
