         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 March 31, 2002

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"). 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, 2001 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 period ended March 31, 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2002. 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, 2001.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the computation of
diluted earnings per share does not include approximately 2.3 million weighted
average shares of common stock in both periods represented by outstanding
options because the exercise price of the options 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

     We expect our estimated annual effective income tax rate for 2002 to
decrease 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 reflects a $3.0 million reduction in
expense associated with adjusting our deferred tax assets and liabilities to
reflect the lower rate.

   Derivative Financial Instruments and Cumulative Effect of a Change in
Accounting

     We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative
purposes. We use interest rate cap contracts to hedge our exposure on variable
rate debt. Through December 31, 2000, the cost of the caps was included in
prepaid expenses and amortized to interest expense over the life of the cap
contract.

                                       4

<PAGE>

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended, requires all
derivatives to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value. SFAS No. 133, as
amended, is effective for financial statements issued for periods beginning
after December 15, 2000. At December 31, 2000, the carrying value of our
interest rate cap contracts was $1,115,000 and their fair value was zero. We
adopted SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 and designated our interest rate cap
contracts as cash-flow hedges of our variable rate debt. SFAS No. 133, as
interpreted by the Derivatives Implementation Group, required the transition
adjustment to be allocated between the cumulative-effect-type adjustment of
earnings and the cumulative-effect-type adjustment of other comprehensive income
based on our pre-SFAS No.133 accounting policy for the contracts. Since the fair
value of the interest rate cap contracts at adoption was zero, the entire
transition adjustment of $669,000, net of income tax benefit of $446,000, was
recognized in earnings as a cumulative effect adjustment in the three months
ended March 31, 2001.

     New Accounting Pronouncement

     SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment
of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," which we are required to
adopt on January 1, 2003, rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from
Extinguishment of Debt," SFAS No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor
Carriers," and SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy
Sinking-Fund Requirements." The Statement amends SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for
Leases," to eliminate certain inconsistencies. It also amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make technical corrections and clarify meanings.
We have not yet determined the impact of this standard on our consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

Item 2.   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(R) ("StudioPLUS"), EXTENDED STAYAMERICA
Efficiency Studios(R) ("EXTENDED STAY"), and Crossland Economy Studios(R)
("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. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the
words "Extended Stay America", "Company", "we", "our", "ours", and "us" refer to
Extended Stay America, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests
otherwise.

     The table below provides a summary of our selected development and
operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.

Average Occupancy Rate ..................................................    66%        76%
Average Weekly Room Rate ................................................ $ 314      $ 321
</TABLE>

     Average occupancy rates are determined by dividing the 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 impacted by a number of factors, including the
impact of the U.S. economy on demand for lodging products and the number and
geographic location of new facilities as well as the season in which we open
those facilities. We also cannot assure you that we can maintain our occupancy
and room rates.

     At March 31, 2002, we had 443 operating facilities (39 Crossland, 309
EXTENDED STAY, and 95 StudioPLUS) and had 10 EXTENDED STAY facilities under
construction. We expect to complete the construction of these 10 facilities
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 and obtaining certificates of
occupancy, as well as weather-induced construction delays.

Results of Operations

   Property Operations

      Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 include the impact
of one-time rental contracts during the 2002 Winter Olympics at three EXTENDED
STAY properties in Salt Lake City, Utah (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 quarter.

      Including the Olympic Properties, we realized average occupancies of 66%
and average weekly room rates of $314 for the first quarter of 2002, and we
realized average occupancies of 76% and average weekly room rates of $321 for
the first quarter of 2001, resulting in a decrease of 15.2% in overall REVPAR
(revenue per available room) for the quarter when compared to the same quarter
of 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:

</TABLE>
     Excluding the Olympic Properties, we realized an overall decrease of 16.7%
in REVPAR for the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the first quarter of
2001. The decrease in overall average occupancy rates for the first quarter of
2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001 reflects, primarily, the impact of a
general decline in demand for lodging products as a result of the slowing U.S.
economy and the continued impact on travel resulting from the events of
September 11, 2001. The decrease in overall average weekly room rates for the
first quarter of 2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001 is due to decreases
in rates charged in previously opened properties. Particularly for the EXTENDED
STAY brand, these decreases in rates were partially offset by the geographic
dispersion of properties opened since March 31, 2001 and the higher standard
weekly room rates in certain of those markets.

     Comparable hotels, consisting of the 359 properties opened for at least one
year at the beginning of the first quarter of 2001 (excluding the Olympic
Properties), realized the following percentage changes in the components of
REVPAR for the first quarter of 2002 as compared with the first quarter of 2001:

      REVPAR ...............   (13.3%)        (17.5%)       (18.0%)   (17.2%)

     We believe that the percentage changes in the components of REVPAR for the
Crossland brand differ significantly from the EXTENDED STAY and StudioPLUS
brands primarily as a result of the number and geographic dispersion of the
comparable hotels.

     We recognized total revenue of $124.8 million for the first quarter of 2002
and $134.4 million for the first quarter of 2001. This is a decrease of $9.6
million, or 7%. The 392 properties that we owned and operated throughout both
periods experienced an aggregate decrease in revenue of approximately $20.6
million, net of incremental revenue at the Olympic Properties of approximately
$2.0 million, which was partially offset by approximately $11.0 million of
incremental revenue attributed to properties opened after December 31, 2000.

     Property operating expenses, consisting of all expenses directly allocable
to the operation of the facilities but excluding any allocation of corporate
operating and property management expenses, depreciation, or interest were $60.3
million (48 % of total revenue) for the first quarter of 2002, compared to $56.8
million (42% of total revenue) for the first quarter of 2001. 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 15.2% in REVPAR for the first
quarter of 2002 as compared to the first quarter of 2001 and our property
operating margins were 52% for the first quarter of 2002 and 58% for the first
quarter of 2001.

     The provisions for depreciation and amortization for our lodging facilities
were $19.0 million and $17.3 million for the first quarter of 2002 and 2001,
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 first quarter of 2002 increased as compared to the first quarter of 2001
because we operated 43 additional facilities in 2002 and because we operated for
a full quarter the 8 properties that were opened in the first quarter of 2001.

   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
$12.1 million (10% of total revenue) in the first quarter of 2002 and $11.6
million (9% of total revenue) in the first quarter of 2001. The increase in the
amount of these expenses for the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the same
period in 2001 reflects the impact of additional personnel and related expenses
in connection with the increased number of facilities we operated. We expect
these expenses will continue to increase in total amount as we develop and
operate additional facilities in the future.

     Depreciation and amortization was $196,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
2002 and $280,000 for the comparable period in 2001. 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 office furniture and equipment.

     We realized $240,000 of interest income in the first quarter of 2002 and
$161,000 in the first quarter of 2001. This interest income was primarily
attributable to the temporary investment of funds drawn under our credit
facilities. We incurred interest charges of $21.3 million during the first
quarter of 2002 and $22.5 million during the first quarter of 2001. Of these
amounts, $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2002 and $2.6 million in the first
quarter of 2001 were capitalized and included in the cost of buildings and
improvements.

     We recognized income tax expense of $2.4 million for the first quarter of
2002 and $11.5 million for the first quarter of 2001 (17% and 40%, respectively,
of income before income taxes and the cumulative effect of an accounting
change). We expect our annual effective income tax rate for 2002 to decrease
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 reflects a $3.0 million reduction in
expense associated with adjusting our deferred tax assets and liabilities to
reflect the lower rate. Excluding the impact of our estimated annual 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.

   Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended, requires all
derivatives to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value. SFAS No. 133, as
amended, is effective for financial statements issued for periods beginning
after December 15, 2000. At December 31, 2000, the carrying value of our
interest rate cap contracts was $1,115,000 and their fair value was zero. We
adopted SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 and designated our interest rate cap
contracts as cash-flow hedges of our variable rate debt. SFAS No. 133, as
interpreted by the Derivatives Implementation Group, required the transition
adjustment to be allocated between the cumulative-effect-type adjustment of
earnings and the cumulative-effect-type adjustment of other comprehensive income
based on our pre-SFAS No. 133 accounting policy for the contracts. Since the
fair value of the interest rate cap contracts at adoption was zero, the entire
transition adjustment of $669,000, net of income tax benefit of $446,000, was
recognized in earnings as a cumulative effect adjustment for the three months
ended March 31, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     We had net cash and cash equivalents of $23.2 million as of March 31, 2002
and $11.0 million as of December 31, 2001. At March 31, 2002 we had
approximately $20.0 million invested in short-term money market depository
accounts. At December 31, 2001 we had approximately $13.0 million invested in
short-term demand notes having credit ratings of A1/P1 or the equivalent, using
domestic commercial banks and other financial institutions. We also deposited
excess funds during these periods 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. Deposits
in excess of $100,000 are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.

     Our operating activities generated cash of $37.8 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2002 and $38.7 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2001.

     We used $56.9 million to acquire land and develop and furnish a total of 22
sites opened or under construction in the three months ended March 31, 2002 and
$71.8 million for 36 sites in the three months ended March 31, 2001.

     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 398 properties we opened from January 1, 1996 through
December 31, 2001, the average development cost was approximately $5.6 million
with an average of 107 rooms. In 2002, we expect to open a number of properties
in the Northeast and West, where average development costs are higher.
Accordingly, we expect our average development cost for 2002 to increase to
approximately $8.6 million per property.

     We made open market repurchases of 1,987,400 shares of our common stock for
approximately $27.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001. We
received net proceeds from the exercise of options to purchase common stock
totaling $3.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $10.1 million
in the three months ended March 31, 2001.

     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 variable prime-based rate or
a variable LIBOR-based rate, plus an applicable margin. In January 2002, we
borrowed $100 million pursuant to a delayed draw term loan under the Credit
Facility. To minimize interest rates charged under the Credit Facility, we
prepaid $25 million in March 2002. As of March 31, 2002, we did not have
outstanding loans under the revolving facility and had $673.8 million, net of
principal repayments, under the term loans, leaving $200 million available and
committed under the Credit Facility. Availability of the revolving facility is
dependent, however, 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.

     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. Based on the levels of
borrowings under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2002, if interest rates
changed by 1.0%, our annual cash flow and net income would change by $4.1
million. We manage our market risk exposures by periodic evaluation of such
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 other than an interest rate cap contract on
a total of $800 million, which limits our exposure to LIBOR increases to a
maximum LIBOR rate of 8.88% from June 17, 2001 through June 16, 2002.

     In connection with the Credit Facility and the 9.875% Senior Subordinated
Notes, we incurred additions to deferred loan costs of approximately $1.1
million during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 and approximately $15,000 during
the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

     We plan to open approximately 20 properties with total costs of
approximately $171 million in 2002. We recently revised our development plans to
increase the number of sites upon which we will commence construction during
2002 from a total of 15 sites to a total of 24 sites with total costs of
approximately $210 million. These 24 sites are expected to open primarily in
2003. We also have identified 25 additional sites with total development costs
of approximately $186 million for which we could commence construction in 2002.
We will continue to seek the necessary approvals and permits for these sites and
will seek to increase the number of construction starts in the future. Our
current and future development plans will be affected by a number of factors,
including improvements in the overall U.S. economy, improvements in demand for
lodging products in the overall lodging industry, improvements in demand for our
extended stay lodging products, and availability of funds within the constraints
of our financing agreements.

     We had commitments not reflected in our financial statements at March 31,
2002 totaling approximately $45 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, through
2003. We may increase our capital expenditures and property openings in future
years, 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 years. 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 Pronouncement

     SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment
of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," which we are required to
adopt on January 1, 2003, rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from
Extinguishment of Debt," SFAS No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor
Carriers," and SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy
Sinking-Fund Requirements." The Statement amends SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for
Leases," to eliminate certain inconsistencies. It also amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make technical corrections and clarify meanings.
We have not yet determined the impact of this standard on our consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

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.
