                          EXTENDED STAY AMERICA, INC.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 2001


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, 2000 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 nine-month periods ended September
30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 2001. 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, 2000.

  The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 does not include approximately 2.6 million and 3.6
million weighted average shares, respectively, and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 does not include approximately 2.4 million and 6.3
million weighted average shares, respectively, 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 periods.

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

Revenue Recognition

  Effective December 31, 2000, the Company adopted the Securities and Exchange
Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition" as
amended. SAB No. 101 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and
disclosure of revenue, including specifying basic criteria which must be met
before revenue can be recognized. The adoption of SAB No. 101 had no impact on
the Company's financial statements.

  Room revenue and other revenue are recognized when services are rendered.
Amounts paid in advance are deferred until earned. Room revenue on weekly guests
is recognized ratably. In the event a guest checks-out early making them
ineligible for the weekly rate, they are re-assessed at the daily rate with any
resulting adjustment reflected in revenue on the date of check-out.

                                       4

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of", assets are generally evaluated on a market-by-market
basis in making a determination as to whether such assets are impaired. At each
year-end, we review long-lived assets for impairment based on estimated future
nondiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets. In the event such cash
flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded value of the
assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values.

  The Company performed a comprehensive review of long-lived assets as of the
end of December 31, 2000. Based on this review, no long-lived assets were deemed
to be impaired.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting

  The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes. The Company uses interest rate cap contracts to hedge its
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.

  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. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 and
designated its interest rate cap contracts as cash-flow hedges of its 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 was recognized in earnings.

Headquarters Relocation Costs

  On May 18, 2001, the Company announced that it would relocate its corporate
headquarters from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to Spartanburg, South Carolina. The
relocation was completed in the third quarter of 2001. As a result, the Company
recognized costs associated with the relocation of $4.6 million during the third
quarter, consisting primarily of severance and relocation costs. The total cost
of the relocation is approximately $9.0 million. These costs include
approximately $2.1 million in non-cash charges related to the abandonment of
unamortized leasehold improvements and charges associated with the valuation of
stock options for terminated employees.

New Accounting Releases

  In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for
by the purchase method. This statement also requires the separate recognition of
intangible assets apart from goodwill that can be identified in a purchase and
increases the financial statement disclosures associated with business
combinations. This statement is effective for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 and for all business combinations accounted for by
the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001, or later.
SFAS No. 142 requires a non-amortization approach for goodwill in which goodwill
will be tested for impairment at least annually by evaluating the fair value of
the acquired business. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001, to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized
in an entity's statement of financial position at the beginning of that fiscal
year, regardless of when those previously recognized assets were initially
recognized. SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 will have no impact on the Company's
financial statements.

                                       5
<PAGE>

  In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which requires the recognition of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is
incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the carrying amount of the
related long-lived asset is correspondingly increased. Over time, the liability
is accreted to its present value and the related capitalized charge is
depreciated over the useful life of the asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of this statement is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

  In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144
replaces SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of, and requires that long-lived assets be measured at the lower of
carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell, whether reported in
continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 also broadens
the reporting of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity
with operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that
will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal
transaction. SFAS No. 144 is effective beginning January 1, 2002. The adoption
of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements.

  The Company utilizes general contractors for the construction of its
properties. Pursuant to the terms of the Company's contractual agreements with
the general contractors, amounts are retained from payments made to them until
such time as the terms of the agreement have been satisfactorily completed.
Retained amounts are recorded as accrued retainage.

NOTE 3 -- LONG-TERM DEBT

  On June 27, 2001, the Company issued $300 million 9.875% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2011. The net proceeds were used to reduce amounts outstanding under
the Company's existing credit agreement. Interest on the notes is payable
semiannually on June 15 and December 15. The notes are not collateralized, are
pari passu with the Company's existing $200 million 9.15% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2008, and are subordinated to the Company's senior indebtedness. The
notes contain certain covenants for the benefit of the holders. These covenants,
among other things, limit the Company's ability under certain circumstances to
incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and make investments and other
restricted payments, enter into transactions with 5% stockholders or affiliates,
create liens, and sell assets.

  On July 24, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with various banks
establishing $900 million in credit facilities that provide for revolving loans
and term loans on a senior collateralized basis. The proceeds of the credit
facilities are to be used for general corporate purposes and to retire existing
indebtedness under the Company's existing credit agreement.

                                       6
<PAGE>

  In connection with the termination of its previously existing credit facility
on July 24, 2001, the Company incurred an extraordinary charge of $5.9 million,
net of income taxes of $3.9 million, associated with the write-off of
unamortized deferred debt costs which has been reflected in earnings for the
quarter ended September 30, 2001.

  Loans under the new credit facilities bear interest, at the Company's option,
at either a prime-based rate or a LIBOR-based rate plus an applicable margin.
The table below illustrates the amounts committed under the new credit
facilities and the interest on loans made under the new credit facilities:

A-1 Facility (term loan)......................     50 million          1.25%          2.25%        July 24, 2007
A-2 Facility (delayed draw term loan).........     50 million          1.25%          2.25%        July 24, 2007
A-3 Facility (delayed draw term loan).........    100 million          1.25%          2.25%        July 24, 2007
B Facility (term loan)........................    500 million          1.75%          2.75%      January 15, 2008
</TABLE>

  As of September 30, 2001, we had outstanding loans of $29 million under the
revolving facility and $550 million under the term loans, leaving $321 million
available and committed under the new credit facilities. Availability of the new
credit facilities depends, however, upon the Company 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 new credit agreement.

  The loans under the new credit facilities will mature on the dates set forth
in the table above. The A-1, A-2, and A-3 term loans will be amortized in
quarterly installments of varying amounts through July 24, 2007, and the B term
loan will be subject to principal payments of 1% of the initial loan amounts in
each of the first six years following the closing date with the remaining
principal balance to be repaid during the seventh year.

  The Company's obligations under the new credit facilities are guaranteed by
each of its subsidiaries. The new credit facilities are also collateralized by a
first priority lien on all stock of the Company's subsidiaries and all other
current and future assets owned by the Company and its subsidiaries (other than
mortgages on real property).

  The new credit facilities contain a number of negative covenants, including,
among others, covenants that limit the Company's ability under certain
circumstances to incur debt, make investments, pay dividends, prepay other
indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into sale-leaseback
transactions, create liens, make capital expenditures, acquire or dispose of
assets, or engage in mergers or acquisitions. In addition, the new credit
facilities contain affirmative covenants, including, among others, covenants
that require the Company to maintain its corporate existence, comply with laws,
maintain its properties and insurance, and deliver financial and other
information to the lenders. The new credit facility also requires the Company to
comply with certain financial tests and to maintain certain financial ratios on
a consolidated basis.

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/TM/ Deluxe Studios ("StudioPLUS"), EXTENDED STAYAMERICA Efficiency
Studios ("EXTENDED STAY"), and Crossland Economy Studios/SM/ ("Crossland"). Each
brand is designed to appeal to different price points that are 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000.

Average Weekly Room Rate...............       $323   $307            $322   $303
</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
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 September 30, 2001, we had 413 operating facilities (39 Crossland, 280
EXTENDED STAY, and 94 StudioPLUS) and had 38 facilities under construction (37
EXTENDED STAY and 1 StudioPLUS). 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 and
obtaining certificates of occupancy, as well as weather-induced construction
delays.

</TABLE>

  We realized an overall decrease of 4.5% in REVPAR (revenue per available room)
for the third quarter of 2001 as compared to the third quarter of 2000.  The
decrease in overall average occupancy rates for the third quarter of 2001
compared to the third quarter of 2000 reflects, primarily, the impact of a
general decline in demand for lodging products as a result of the slowing U.S.
economy and the overall decline in lodging demand resulting from the impact of
the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.  The increase in overall average
weekly room rates for the third quarter of 2001 compared to the third quarter of
2000 is due to increases in rates charged in previously opened properties and,
particularly for the EXTENDED STAY brand, the geographic dispersion of
properties opened since September 30, 2000 and the higher standard weekly room
rates in certain of those markets.

  Comparable hotels, consisting of the 305 properties opened for at least one
year at the beginning of the first  quarter of 2000, realized the following
percentage changes in the components of REVPAR for the third quarter of 2001 as
compared with the third quarter of 2000:

     Change in REVPAR...............    (4.0)%        (6.9)%         (8.4)%    (6.9)%
 </TABLE>

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

  We believe that the declines in occupancy experienced in the third quarter are
less than those experienced in the overall lodging industry and are a result of
the slowing U.S. economy and a reaction to the terrorist attacks of September
11, 2001. REVPAR for our comparable hotels for the period from September 11,
2001 through September 30, 2001 declined 13.4% when compared to the prior year.
We expect that we will experience similar declines in REVPAR for our comparable
hotels for the fourth quarter of 2001.

  We recognized total revenue of $145.7 million for the third quarter of 2001
and $142.2 million for the third quarter of 2000. This is an increase of $3.5
million, or 3%. The 378 properties that we owned and operated throughout both
periods experienced an aggregate decrease in revenue of approximately $8.9
million which was offset by approximately $12.4 million of incremental revenue
attributable to properties opened after June 30, 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

                                       9
<PAGE>

$59.9 million (41% of total revenue) for the third quarter of 2001, as compared
to $56.1 million (39% of total revenue) for the third quarter of 2000. 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
4.5% in REVPAR for the third quarter of 2001 as compared to the third quarter of
2000 and our property operating margins were 59% for the third quarter of 2001
and 61% for the third quarter of 2000.

  The provisions for depreciation and amortization for our lodging facilities
were $18.0 million for the third quarter of 2001 and $16.3 million for the third
quarter of 2000. 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 third quarter of 2001 increased compared to the third
quarter of 2000 because we operated 30 additional facilities in 2001 and because
we operated for a full quarter the 5 properties that were opened in the third
quarter of 2000.

 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 $12.0
million (8% of total revenue) in the third quarter of 2001 and $11.2 million (8%
of total revenue) in the third quarter of 2000. The increase in the amount of
these expenses for the third quarter of 2001 as compared to the same period in
2000 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 but decline moderately as a
percentage of revenue as we develop and operate additional facilities in the
future.

  On May 18, 2001, we announced that we would be relocating our corporate
headquarters from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to Spartanburg, South Carolina. The
relocation was completed in the third quarter of 2001. As a result, we
recognized costs associated with the relocation of $4.6 million during the third
quarter, consisting primarily of severance and relocation costs. The total cost
of the relocation is approximately $9.0 million. These costs include
approximately $2.1 million in non-cash charges related to the abandonment of
unamortized leasehold improvements and charges associated with the valuation of
stock options for terminated employees.

  Depreciation and amortization was $238,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
2001 and $335,000 for the comparable period in 2000. 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 $105,000 of interest income in the third quarter of 2001 and
$95,000 in the third quarter of 2000. This interest income was primarily
attributable to the temporary investment of funds drawn under our credit
facilities. We incurred interest charges of $22.5 million during the third
quarter of 2001 and $23.5 million in the third quarter of 2000. Of these
amounts, $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2001 and $3.0 million in the third
quarter of 2000 were capitalized and included in the cost of buildings and
improvements.

  We recognized income tax expense of $12.6 million and $15.2 million (40% of
income before income taxes, extraordinary item, and the cumulative effect of an
accounting change, in both periods) for the third quarter of 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Our income tax expense differs from the federal income tax rate of
35% primarily due to state and local income taxes. We expect the annualized
effective income tax rate for 2001 will be approximately 40%.

</TABLE>

  We realized an overall increase of 1.7% in REVPAR for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The decrease in
overall average occupancy rates for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2001 compared to the same period in 2000 reflects, primarily, the impact of a
general decline in demand for lodging products as a result of the slowing U.S.
economy, which affected the Company's occupancy levels beginning in the second
quarter of 2001, and was further impacted by the decline in lodging demand
resulting from the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The increase in
overall average weekly room rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
as compared to the same period of 2000 is due to increases in rates charged at
previously opened properties and, particularly for the EXTENDED STAY brand, the
geographic dispersion of properties opened since September 30, 2000 and the
higher standard weekly room rates in certain of those markets.

  Comparable hotels, consisting of the 305 properties opened for at least one
year at the beginning of the first quarter of 2000, realized the following
percentage changes in the components of REVPAR for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 as compared with the same period of 2000:

</TABLE>

  The percentage change in the components of REVPAR for our comparable hotels
experienced in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 reflects an increase in
REVPAR of 5.7% in the first quarter, which was more than offset by decreases in
REVPAR of 3.1% in the second quarter and 6.9% in the third quarter.

  We recognized total revenue of $423.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and $389.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2000. This is an increase of $33.9 million, or 9%. The 362 properties that we
owned and operated throughout both periods experienced an aggregate decrease in
revenue of approximately $5.0 million, which was offset by approximately $38.9
million of incremental revenue attributable to properties opened after
December 31, 1999.

  Property operating expenses were $173.4 million (41% of total revenue) for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $159.0 million (41% of total
revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. 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 increase of 1.7% in REVPAR
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 2000. Our property operating margins were 59% for both
periods.

  The provisions for depreciation and amortization for the lodging facilities
were $52.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and $48.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Depreciation and
amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased compared to
the nine months ended

                                       11
<PAGE>

September 30, 2000 because we operated 30 additional facilities in 2001 and
because we operated for a full nine months the 21 properties that were opened in
the first nine months of 2000.

 Corporate Operations

  We incurred corporate operating and property management expenses of $35.4
million (8% of total revenue) in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
$33.2 million (9% of total revenue) in the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
The increase in the amount of these expenses for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2001 as compared to the same period of 2000 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 but decline moderately as a percentage of revenue as we
develop and operate additional facilities in the future.

  Depreciation and amortization for assets not directly related to operation of
our facilities was $794,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
$1.0 million for the comparable period in 2000.

  We realized $437,000 of interest income in the nine months ended September 30,
2001 and $431,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This interest
income was attributable to the temporary investment of funds drawn under our
credit facilities. We incurred interest charges of $65.8 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and $63.9 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. Of these amounts, $7.8 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and $7.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000
were capitalized and included in the cost of buildings and improvements.

  We recognized income tax expense of $37.7 million for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2001 and $36.8 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000 (40% of income before income taxes, extraordinary item, and
the cumulative effect of an accounting change, in both periods). 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. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 and designated its interest rate
cap contracts as cash-flow hedges of its 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. Because the
fair value of the interest rate cap contracts at adoption was zero, the entire
transition adjustment was recognized in earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  We had net cash and cash equivalents of $4.4 million as of September 30, 2001
and $13.4 million as of December 31, 2000. At September 30, 2001 we had
approximately $2.2 million, and at December 31, 2000 we had approximately $14.0
million invested in short-term demand notes of companies having credit ratings
of A1/P1 or 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 $160.2 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and $131.4 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000.

                                       12
<PAGE>

  We used $233.3 million to acquire land, develop, or furnish a total of 59
sites opened or under construction in the nine months ended September 30, 2001
and $183.0 million for 44 sites in the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

  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 359 properties we opened from January 1, 1996 through December
31, 2000, the average development cost was approximately $5.5 million with an
average of 107 rooms. In 2001, 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 2001 to increase to approximately $8.5
million per property.

  We made open market repurchases of 4,189,100 shares of common stock for
approximately $58.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
1,092,900 shares of common stock for approximately $8.6 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2000. We received net proceeds from the exercise of
options to purchase common stock totaling $17.6 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and $4.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

  We entered into an agreement dated July 24, 2001 with various banks
establishing $900 million principal amount of senior credit facilities, subject
to certain conditions (the "New Credit Facilities"). The proceeds of the New
Credit Facilities are to be used for general corporate purposes and to retire
existing indebtedness under the amended and restated credit agreement dated as
of June 7, 2000 (the "Old Credit Facilities"). The New Credit Facilities also
provide for up to an additional $700 million in uncommitted facilities.

  The loans under the New Credit Facilities will mature on the dates set forth
in the table below. The A-1, A-2, and A-3 term loans will be amortized in
quarterly installments of varying amounts through July 24, 2007 and the B term
loan will be subject to principal payments of 1% of the initial loan amounts in
each of the first six years following the closing date with the remaining
principal balance to be repaid during the seventh year. Availability of the New
Credit Facilities depends upon our satisfying financial ratios of leverage and
interest, calculated pursuant to definitions contained in the New Credit
Facilities, and upon our not being in default under the related credit
agreement.

  Loans under the New Credit Facilities bear interest, at our option, at either
a prime-based rate or a LIBOR-based rate, plus an applicable margin. In
addition, the commitment fee on the unused revolving facility and the unused
delayed draw term loan facilities is 0.5% per annum. The table above illustrates
the interest on loans made under the New Credit Facilities.

  We are required to repay indebtedness outstanding under the New Credit
Facilities with the net cash proceeds from certain sales of our, and our
subsidiaries', assets, from issuances of debt by us or our subsidiaries, and
from insurance recovery events (subject to certain reinvestment rights). We are
also required to repay indebtedness outstanding under the New Credit Facilities
annually in an amount equal to 50% of our excess cash flow, as calculated
pursuant to the New Credit Facilities.

  Our obligations under the New Credit Facilities are guaranteed by each of our
subsidiaries. The New Credit Facilities are also collateralized by liens on all
stock of our subsidiaries and all other current and future assets owned by us
and our subsidiaries (other than mortgages on real property).

                                       13

  The credit agreement for the New Credit Facilities contains a number of
covenants that, among other things, limit our ability under certain
circumstances to incur debt, make investments, pay dividends, prepay other
indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into sale-leaseback
transactions, create liens, make capital expenditures, acquire or dispose of
assets, or engage in mergers or acquisitions. The credit agreement also contains
covenants that, among other things, require us, and our subsidiaries, to
maintain our corporate existence, comply with laws, maintain our properties and
insurance, and deliver financial and other information to the lenders. That
credit agreement also requires us to comply with certain financial tests on a
consolidated basis, including a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum senior
leverage ratio, and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

  Failure to satisfy any of the covenants constitutes an event of default under
the New Credit Facilities, notwithstanding our ability to meet our debt service
obligations. The loan documentation includes other customary and usual events of
default for these types of credit facilities, including without limitation, an
event of default if a change of control occurs. Upon the occurrence of an event
of default, the lenders have the ability to accelerate all amounts then
outstanding under the New Credit Facilities and to foreclose on the collateral.

  As of September 30, 2001, we had outstanding loans of $29 million under the
revolving facility and $550 million under the term loans, leaving $321 million
available and committed under the New Credit Facilities.

  In addition to our outstanding $200 million aggregate principal amount of
9.15% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "2008 Notes"), on June 27, 2001,
we issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 9.875% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2011 (the "2011 Notes"). The net proceeds of the 2011 Notes were used
to reduce amounts outstanding under the Old Credit Facility. The 2011 Notes bear
interest at an annual rate of 9.875% payable semiannually on June 15 and
December 15 of each year and mature on June 15, 2011. We may redeem the 2011
Notes beginning on June 15, 2006. The initial redemption price is 104.938% of
their principal amount, plus accrued interest. The redemption price declines
each year after 2006 and is 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued
interest, after 2009. In addition, before June 15, 2004, we may redeem up to
$105 million of the 2011 Notes, using the proceeds from certain sales of our
stock, at 109.875% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest.

  The 2011 Notes are not collateralized, are pari passu with the 2008 Notes, are
subordinated to all of our senior indebtedness, including the New Credit
Facility, and contain certain covenants for the benefit of the holders. These
covenants, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional
indebtedness, pay dividends and make investments and other restricted payments,
enter into transactions with 5% stockholders or affiliates, create liens, and
sell assets.

  In connection with the credit facilities and the notes, we incurred additions
to deferred loan costs of $21.5 million during the nine months ended September
30, 2001 and $5.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. On
July 24, 2001, we incurred an extraordinary charge of $5.9 million, net of
income taxes of $3.9 million, associated with the write-off of unamortized
deferred debt costs related to the Old Credit Facilities which has been
reflected in earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

  Our primary market risk exposures result from the variable nature of the
interest rates on borrowings under our credit facilities. We entered into our
credit facilities for purposes other than trading. Based on the levels of
borrowings under the New Credit Facility at September 30, 2001, if interest
rates changed by 1.0%, our annual cash flow and net income would change by $3.5
million. We manage our market risk exposures by periodically evaluating these
exposures relative to the costs of reducing these exposures by entering into
interest rate swap or cap agreements 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 that limits our
exposure to LIBOR increases to a maximum LIBOR rate of 8.88% from June 17, 2001
through June 16, 2002.

  Due to short term uncertainties caused by the terrorist events on September
11, 2001, we deferred the commencement of construction of new projects and are
currently negotiating to obtain extended periods of time to develop the 75 sites
on which we have options at September 30, 2001. At this time, we do not know how
successful we will be in obtaining extensions to the sites under option or when
we might again commence construction of new sites. We are continuing the
construction of the 38 sites that were under construction at September 30, 2001.
We
                                       14
<PAGE>

had commitments not reflected in our financial statements at September 30, 2001
totaling approximately $165 million to complete construction of these
properties. We believe that the remaining availability under the New Credit
Facilities, 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. 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 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. 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 Releases

  In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for
by the purchase method. This statement also requires the separate recognition of
intangible assets apart from goodwill that can be identified in a purchase and
increases the financial statement disclosures associated with business
combinations. This statement is effective for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 and for all business combinations accounted for by
the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001, or later.
SFAS No. 142 requires a non-amortization approach for goodwill in which goodwill
will be tested for impairment at least annually by evaluating the fair value of
the acquired business. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001, to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized
in an entity's statement of financial position at the beginning of that fiscal
year, regardless of when those previously recognized assets were initially
recognized. SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 will have no impact on our financial
statements.

  In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which requires the recognition of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is
incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the carrying amount of the
related long-lived asset is correspondingly increased. Over time, the liability
is accreted to its present value and the related capitalized charge is
depreciated over the useful life of the asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of this statement is
not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

  In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144
replaces SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of, and requires that long-lived assets be measured at the lower of
carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell, whether reported in
continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 also broadens
the reporting of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity
with operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that
will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal
transaction. SFAS No. 144 is effective beginning January 1, 2002. The adoption
of this statement is not expected to 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,
we expect declines in occupancy rates to cause fluctuations or decreases in our
quarterly earnings.

                                       15
<PAGE>

  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.

Special Note on Forward-Looking Statements

  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements. Words
such as "expect", "intend", "plan", "project", "believe", "estimate", and
similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. We

subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors which may cause
our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different.
These factors include, among other things:

  .  uncertainty as to changes in U.S. general economic activity and the impact
     of these changes on the consumer demand for lodging products in general and
     for extended stay lodging products in particular;

  .  increasing competition in the extended stay lodging market;

  .  our ability to increase or maintain revenue and profitability in our new
     and mature properties;

  .  uncertainty as to the impact on the lodging industry of any additional
     terrorist attacks or responses to terrorist attacks;

  .  uncertainty as to our future profitability;

  .  our ability to operate within the limitations imposed by financing
     arrangements;

  .  our ability to meet construction and development schedules and budgets;

  .  our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms to finance our growth;

  .  our ability to integrate and successfully operate any properties acquired
     in the future and the risks associated with these properties; and

  .  our ability to develop and implement the operational and financial systems
     needed to manage rapidly growing operations.

  Other matters set forth in this Quarterly Report may also cause our actual
future results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. We
cannot assure you that our expectations will prove to be correct. In addition,
all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or
persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
cautionary statements mentioned above. You should not place undue reliance on
