                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     ORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITIONS

       FelCor Suites Limited Partnership, (the "Partnership"), a Delaware
limited partnership, commenced operations on July 28, 1994. Simultaneously with
the closing of the initial public offering (the "IPO") of FelCor Suite Hotels,
Inc. ("FelCor"), which is the sole general partner of the Partnership,
contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to the Partnership in exchange for an
approximate 75% general partnership interest.

       The Partnership owned six Embassy Suites(R) hotels (the "Initial
Hotels"), with an aggregate of 1,479 suites, which it had acquired through a
merger with entities, originally formed in 1991, controlled by Hervey A.
Feldman and Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr., the Chairman of the Board of Directors and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, respectively.

       At September 30, 1997, the Partnership owned interests in 71 hotels with
an aggregate of 17,486 suites/rooms (collectively the "Hotels") through its
consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). The Company owns 100%
equity interests in 53 of the Hotels (12,983 suites), a 90% or greater interest
in partnerships owning four hotels (1,041 suites), and 50% interests in
separate partnerships that own 14 hotels (3,462 suites). At September 30, 1997,
51 of the Hotels were operated as Embassy Suites hotels, 12 as Doubletree Guest
Suites(R) hotels, one as a Hilton Suites(R) hotel, one hotel was in the process
of conversion to an Embassy Suites hotel, four hotels were operated as
Sheraton(R) hotels and two were operated as Sheraton Suites(R) hotels. The
Hotels are located in 26 states, with 31 hotels in California, Florida and
Texas. The following table provides certain information regarding the Hotels
through September 30, 1997:

               The Company completed construction and placed into service on
July 1, 1997, 129 net additional suites, meeting rooms and other public area
upgrades at its Boston-Marlborough, Massachusetts hotel at a cost of $15.9
million. The Company is constructing 67 additional suites at its Jacksonville,
Florida hotel and 67 additional suites at its Orlando (North), Florida hotel at
an aggregate projected cost of $10.2 million with an expected completion in
early 1998.

               The Company leases all of the Hotels to DJONT Operations, L.L.C.
("DJONT"), or a consolidated subsidiary thereof (collectively, the "Lessee"),
under operating leases providing for the payment of percentage rent (the
"Percentage Leases"). Hervey A. Feldman and Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr., the
Chairman of the Board and President of the Company, respectively, beneficially
own a 50% voting equity interest in DJONT. The remaining 50% non-voting equity
interest in DJONT is beneficially owned by the children of Charles N.
Mathewson, a director of the Company and major investor in the predecessor
entities. The Company's partners in partnerships owning 12 of the Hotels hold
special purpose non-voting equity interests in the consolidated subsidiary of
DJONT which leases such Hotels, which interests entitle them to 50% of such
subsidiary's net income before overhead with respect to such Hotels. In
addition, the Company's partner in a partnership owning three of the Hotels
holds a 50% non-voting equity interest in the consolidated subsidiary of DJONT
leasing those Hotels. See Note 2 Commitments and Related Party Transactions for

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. ORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITIONS -(CONTINUED)

additional discussion regarding Lessee consolidated subsidiaries. The Lessee
has entered into management agreements pursuant to which 50 of the Hotels are
managed by Promus Hotels, Inc. ("Promus"), 12 of the Hotels are managed by a
subsidiary of Doubletree Hotel Corporation ("Doubletree"), six of the hotels
are managed directly by, or by a subsidiary of, ITT Sheraton Corporation
("Sheraton"),the three remaining Hotels are managed by two other management
companies.

       A brief discussion of the hotels acquired and other significant
transactions occurring in the third quarter of 1997 follows:

o      On July 28, 1997 the Company acquired three Doubletree Guest Suites
       hotels for an aggregate purchase price of $71.2 million in cash. The
       hotels total 635 suites and are located in Lake Buena Vista, Florida;
       Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina and Tampa (Rocky Point), Florida. These
       hotels are managed by a subsidiary of Doubletree.

o      On September 30, 1997 the Company acquired the partnership which owns
       the 365 room Sheraton Society Hill hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
       for $51 million in cash. This hotel is managed by Sheraton.

o      On September 30, 1997 the Company declared a third quarter dividend of
       $0.55 per common share and $0.4875 per share on its $1.95 Series A
       Cumulative Preferred Stock to shareholders of record on October 15,
       1997. This dividend is payable on October 31, 1997.

o      On August 14, 1997 the Company announced that it had increased its
       unsecured revolving line of credit from $400 million to $550 million,
       extended the maturity for an additional year to September 30, 2000 and
       reduced the effective interest rate.

o      Following the end of the third quarter, the Company announced the
       completion of a private placement of $300 million of long term senior
       unsecured notes. The notes were issued in two maturities, consisting of
       $175 million of 7d% notes due 2004 and $125 million of 7e% notes due
       2007. The proceeds were used to pay off the Company's $85 million
       collateralized term loan and to pay down the Line of Credit. The Company
       has filed a registration statement with the SEC, which has not yet been
       declared effective, to exchange this privately placed debt for
       registered debt with identical terms.

       These unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
of the Company and the Lessee included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 (the "10-K"). The notes to the
financial statements included herein highlight significant changes to the notes
included in the 10-K and present interim disclosures required by the SEC. The
statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 are
unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which
include only normal recurring accruals) have been made which are considered
necessary to present fairly the operating results and financial position of the
Partnership for the unaudited periods.

2.     SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

       In the first nine months of 1997 the Company purchased certain assets
and assumed certain liabilities of hotels. These purchases were recorded under

</TABLE>

3.     COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       Upon final completion of the conversion of one hotel, the Hotels will be
operated as Embassy Suites (52), Doubletree Guest Suites (12), Sheraton Suites
(2), Sheraton (4) and Hilton Suites (1) hotels. The Embassy Suites hotels and
Hilton Suites hotel will operate pursuant to franchise license agreements which
require the payment of fees based on a percentage of suite revenue. These fees
are paid by the Lessee. There are no separate franchise license agreements with
respect to the Doubletree Guest Suites hotels, Sheraton hotels or Sheraton
Suites hotels, which rights are included in the management agreement.

       The Lessee generally pays the managers a base management fee based on a
percentage of total revenue and an incentive management fee based on the
Lessee's net income before overhead expenses. In certain instances, the hotel
managers have subordinated fees and committed to make subordinated loans to the
Lessee, if needed, to meet its rental and other obligations under the leases.

       The Company is to receive rental income from the Lessee under the
Percentage Leases which expire in 2004 (7 hotels), 2005 (12 hotels), 2006 (19
hotels) and 2007 (19 hotels). The rental income under the Percentage Leases
between the 14 unconsolidated partnerships, of which the Company owns 50%, and
the Lessee are payable to the respective partnerships and as such is not
included in the following schedule of future lease commitments to the Company.
Minimum future rental income (i.e., base rents) to the Company under these
noncancellable operating leases at September 30, 1997 is as follows (in

       Minority equity interest in two of DJONT's consolidated subsidiaries,
relating to an aggregate of 15 Hotels, are held by unrelated third parties that
also own an equity interest in such Hotels. Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, such
unrelated third party owners, and the managers of certain of the Hotels have
agreed, directly or through their affiliates, to make loans to the Lessee of up
to an aggregate of approximately $15.4 million, to the extent necessary to
enable the Lessee to pay rent and other obligations due under the respective
Percentage Leases relating to a total of 32 of the Hotels. Amounts so borrowed
by the Lessee, if any, will be subordinate in right of repayment to the prior
payment in full of rent and other obligations due under the Percentage Leases
relating to such Hotels. No loans were outstanding under such agreements at
September 30, 1997.

       In the third quarter of 1997, the Company increased the amount available
under its unsecured Line of Credit from $400 million to $550 million, extended
the term by one year to September 30, 2000 and reduced the effective interest
rate. Interest payable on borrowings under the Line of Credit is variable,
determined from a ratings-based pricing matrix, and is currently set at LIBOR
plus 140 basis points.

       The Company had an $85 million collateralized term loan outstanding at
September 30, 1997 which bore interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points. The $85
million collateralized term loan was repaid in full on October 1, 1997 from the
proceeds of the long term senior unsecured private placement debt. This senior
unsecured private placement debt, which the Company placed on October 1, 1997,

THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS:

o        FFO of $39.2 million or $0.89 per share and unit sets a new record for
         the Company and represents a 27% increase in FFO per share and unit
         for the quarter. Revenues increased from $26.4 million in the third
         quarter of 1996 to $51.1 million in the current quarter.

o        Net income before extraordinary charges increased from $0.38 per share

o        The Company acquired four hotels (one Sheraton(R) hotel and three
         Doubletree Guest Suites(R) hotels) during the quarter, representing a
         gross investment of approximately $122 million and 1,000 suites/rooms.

o        On August 18, 1997 the Company amended and restated its existing
         unsecured line of credit in order to increase availability from $400
         million to $550 million, extend the term by one year to September 30,
         2000 and reduce pricing.

o        On September 30, 1997 the Company announced that it would increase its
         Common Stock dividend by 10% to an annual rate of $2.20 per share,

         secured indebtedness and more than $1.6 billion of unencumbered
         assets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Partnership -- Actual

         Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

         For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership
had revenues of $128.7 million and $75.0 million, respectively, consisting of
Percentage Lease revenues of $122.7 million and $72.6 million, income in
unconsolidated partnerships of $5.8 million and $1.4 million and other revenue
(made up primarily of interest income) of $283,000 and $937,000, respectively.
Percentage Lease revenue is computed as a percentage of suite revenues, food
and beverage revenues and food and beverage rents of the Hotels. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, 97.3% of Percentage Lease revenue was derived
from suite revenues. A more detailed discussion of hotel suite revenue begins
at "The Hotels - Actual" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

         The increase in Percentage Lease revenue is attributed primarily to
the increased number of hotels owned at September 30, 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996 and increased suite revenue at the comparable hotels (those


                                      13
<PAGE>   14

hotels owned for the entire nine months in both 1996 and 1997). The increase in
the number of hotels accounted for approximately $43.0 million of the increase
(86%) while Percentage Lease revenue for the nineteen comparable hotels
increased by $7.1 million (14%).

         Suite revenues for the Original Hotels increased 9.3% and the CSS
Hotels increased suite revenue by 21.4% for this nine month period.

         The increase in income from unconsolidated partnerships is principally
attributed to the increase in unconsolidated partnership hotels from five
hotels at September 30, 1996 to 14 at September 30, 1997.

         Total expenses increased $40.8 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $35.3 million to $76.1 million over the same period in
1996. The primary components of the dollar increase are: depreciation; taxes,
insurance and other; and interest expense. The primary reason for these
increases relate to the increased number of hotels owned by the Partnership.
Those expenses that made up the majority of the increase, as a percentage of
total revenue, were depreciation (27.9% of total revenue for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to 23.8% in the same period 1996), and
interest expense (15.6% of total revenue in 1997 compared to 8.4% in 1996).

         Depreciation, as a percentage of total revenue, increased primarily as
a result of the major renovation projects which were placed in service and
started depreciating in late 1996 or early 1997.

         The increased interest expense, as a percentage of total revenue, is
reflective of the additional borrowings during the end of 1996 and first nine
months of 1997 to finance hotel acquisitions and the renovation program.

         Preferred distributions increased from $4.8 million for the nine
months in 1996 to $8.8 million for the same period in 1997. This increase is
due to the preferred units, issued in May 1996, which accrued a full nine
months of dividends in 1997.

         Net income applicable to unitholders for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 was $43.8 million and $32.6 million respectively.

         Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

         For the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the
Partnership had revenues of $51.1 million and $26.4 million, respectively,
consisting primarily of Percentage Lease revenues of $48.6 million and $25.3
million respectively, income from unconsolidated partnerships of $2.3 million
and $927,000, and other income of $112,000 and $163,000, respectively. A more
detailed discussion of hotel suite revenue begins at "The Hotels -- Actual"
section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

         The increases in Percentage Lease revenues of $23.3 million is
attributable primarily to the hotels acquired since the third quarter of 1996
coupled with increased suite revenues at the 36 hotels that are comparable
(those hotels owned for the entire quarter in both 1997 and 1996). The increase
in hotels accounted for $17.2 million of the increase while the comparable
hotels contributed $6.1 million of the increase.

         The increase in income from unconsolidated partnerships is principally
attributed to the increase in unconsolidated partnership hotels from five
hotels at September 30, 1996 to 14 at September 30, 1997.

         Total expenses increased $15.7 million in the three months ended
September 30, 1997, from $13.0 million to $28.7 million. This represents an
increase in expenses as a percentage of total revenue of 6.8 percentage points
from 49.4% to 56.2%. The primary components of this increase in dollars were:
depreciation; taxes, insurance and other; and interest expense. The primary
reason for this increase is related to the increased number of hotels owned by
the Partnership. The expense that made up the majority of the increase, as a
percentage of total revenue, was interest expense (14.1% of total revenue in
1997 compared to 6.7% in 1996).

         The increased interest expense, as a percentage of total revenue, is
reflective of the additional borrowings during the end of 1996 and first nine
months of 1997 to finance hotel acquisitions and the renovation program.

         Net income applicable to unitholders before extraordinary charge for
the quarter was $19.4 million, or 38.1% of total revenue, as compared to $8.0
million, or 30.5% of total revenue, for the third quarter of 1996.

Funds From Operations

         The Company considers Funds From Operations to be a key measure of a
REIT's performance and should be considered along with, but not as an
alternative to, net income and cash flow as a measure of the Company's
operating performance and liquidity.

         The following table computes Funds From Operations under the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") definition. Funds From
Operations under the NAREIT definition consists of net income, computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains or
losses from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation of real
property (including furniture and equipment) and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures (in thousands, except per share
and unit data).

  Comparison of The Hotels' Suite Revenues for the Nine Months 
  Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

         Suite revenues from the 71 Hotels, included without regard to
ownership, increased 8.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from the
same period of 1996. The Original Hotels increased 9.3%, the CSS Hotels
increased 21.4%, the 1996 Acquisition Hotels increased 7.3% and the 1997
Acquisition Hotels increased 1.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
as compared to the same period of 1996.

         The Original Hotels were owned by the Partnership throughout all of
the first nine months of both 1997 and 1996. Suite revenue for these hotels
increased $5.5 million over the same period in 1996. This improvement in suite
revenue resulted from increased average daily rates ("ADR") of 7.0%. The hotels
in this group recorded increases in ADR ranging from 2.5% to 12.5%. The
increases in ADR at these hotels are attributed to the strength of the markets
in which these hotels operate as well as aggressive rate management.

          For the nine months of 1997 over 1996 the CSS Hotels experienced an
increase in ADR of 12.1% to $115.67 and a 6.1 percentage point increase in
Occupancy to 74.5%. The strength of the improvement in the CSS Hotels is
partially reflective of the $54 million suite renovation program that was
completed in the first quarter of 1997. This program made substantial upgrades
and improvements to these former Crown Sterling Suites hotels. This group of
hotels were also converted to the Embassy Suites (16) or Doubletree Guest
Suites (2) brand during 1996. The increase in both occupancy and ADR is also
attributable in part, to the stronger marketing presence of the Embassy Suites
and Doubletree Guest Suites brands.

         The 1996 Acquisition Hotels increased ADR by 5.3% to $118.69 and
occupancy increased 1.6 percentage points which resulted in suite revenue
increases for these hotels of $4.7 million in the first nine months of 1997
compared to the same period in 1996. Some of the 1996 Acquisition Hotels
benefitted from suite renovations completed in 1996 or during the first quarter
of 1997. The Company has committed to reserving 4% of suite revenue for ongoing
capital replacements and improvements for all of its Hotels, in addition to
making normal repair and maintenance expenditures and any necessary renovations
for hotels acquired.

         The 1997 Acquisition hotels, collectively, increased ADR by 3.8%
and 4.8%, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
compared to the same period of 1996. Certain of the individual 1997 Acquisition
hotels, however, had decreases in ADR and/or Occupancy for such comparable
periods. These decreases are primarily the result of temporary declines
attributed to disruptions from rebranding, repositioning and/or renovation of
certain hotels and in the case of those hotels located in Atlanta, Georgia,
decreased demand in 1997 compared to 1996 due to the 1996 Summer Olympics which
were held in Atlanta.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Partnership's principal source of cash to meet its cash
requirements, including distributions to unitholders, is its share of the cash
flow from the Percentage Leases. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
cash flow provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of Percentage
Lease revenue, was $74.6 million and funds from operations diluted for the
conversion preferred units, which is the sum of net income and depreciation of
real property (including furniture and equipment), was $95.5 million. The
Lessee's obligations under the Percentage Leases are unsecured. The Lessee's
ability to make lease payments under the Percentage Leases and the
Partnership's liquidity, including its ability to make distributions to
unitholders, are substantially dependent on the ability of the Lessee to
generate sufficient cash flow from the operation of the Hotels.

         At September 30, 1997, the Lessee had paid all amounts then due the
Partnership under the Percentage Leases. During the nine months ended 1997, the
Lessee realized a net loss of $1.6 million. The Lessee's accumulated
shareholders' deficit of $8.0 million at September 30, 1997 resulted from the
nine months ended 1997 loss and from losses during 1996 as a consequence of the
one-time costs of converting the CSS Hotels to the Embassy Suites and
Doubletree Guest Suites brands and the substantial number of suite nights lost
during the year due to renovation. It is anticipated that a substantial portion
of any future profits of the Lessee will be retained until a positive
shareholders' equity is restored. Although it is currently anticipated that the
Lessee could sustain a loss during 1997, it is anticipated that its future
earnings will be sufficient to enable it to continue to make its lease payments
under the Percentage Leases when due.

         Minority equity interest in two of DJONT's consolidated subsidiaries,
relating to an aggregate of 15 Hotels, are held by unrelated third parties that
also own an equity interest in such Hotels. Messrs. Feldman and Corcoran, such
unrelated third party owners, and the managers of certain of the Hotels have
agreed, directly or through their affiliates, to make loans to the Lessee of up
to an aggregate of approximately $15.4 million, to the extent necessary to
enable the Lessee to pay rent and other obligations due under the respective
Percentage Leases relating to a total of 32 of the Hotels. Amounts so borrowed
by the Lessee, if any, will be subordinate in right of repayment to the prior
payment in full of rent and other obligations due under the Percentage Leases
relating to such Hotels. No loans were outstanding under such agreements at
September 30, 1997.

         The Partnership intends to acquire additional hotels and may incur
indebtedness to make such acquisitions, or to meet distribution requirements to
the extent that working capital and cash flow from the Partnership's
investments are insufficient to make such distributions.

         At September 30, 1997, the Partnership had $18.9 million of cash and
cash equivalents and had utilized $296 million of the amount available under
the Partnership's $550 million unsecured revolving Line of Credit. On October
1, 1997, the Company placed $300 million in long term senior unsecured private
placement debt. This senior unsecured private placement debt, bears interest at
7d% for the notes due 2004, and 7e% for the notes due 2007. The Company has
filed a registration statement with the SEC, which has not yet been declared
effective, to exchange privately placed debt for registered debt with identical
terms.

         To manage the relative mix of its debt between fixed and variable rate
instruments, the Partnership has entered into two separate interest rate swap
agreements. These interest rate swap agreements modify a portion of the
interest characteristics of the Partnership's outstanding debt without an
exchange of the underlying principal amount and effectively convert variable
rate debt to a fixed rate. The fixed rates to be paid, the effective fixed
rate, and the initial variable rate to be received by the Partnership at
September 30, 1997 are summarized in the following table:

<TABLE>

$50 million          6.1112        7.6112          6.4762%        October 1999
$25 million          5.9550        7.4550          6.1910%        November 1999
</TABLE>

         After application of the $300 million senior unsecured privately
placed debt, and taking into consideration the $75 million in interest rate
swaps, the Company has reduced its variable rate debt to about 10% of total
debt outstanding. The fixed rate debt held by the Company bears interest at a
weighted average rate of 7.6%.

         The differences to be paid or received by the Partnership under the
terms of the interest rate swap agreements are accrued as interest rates change
and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense by the Partnership pursuant
to the terms of its interest rate agreement and will have a corresponding
effect on its future cash flows. Agreements such as these contain a credit risk
that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. The
Partnership minimizes that risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of its
counterparties, which are limited to major banks and financial institutions,
and does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.

         The Company completed construction and placed into service on July 1,
1997, 129 net additional suites, meeting rooms and other public area upgrades
at its Boston-Marlborough, Massachusetts hotel at a cost of $15.9 million. The
Company is constructing 67 additional suites at its Jacksonville, Florida hotel
and 67 additional suites at its Orlando (North), Florida hotel at an aggregate
projected cost of $10.2 million with an expected completion in early 1998.

         The Partnership's cash flow from financing activities of approximately
$571.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 resulted from the
following: The sale of an aggregate of 14.2 million units with net proceeds of
$448.6 million; (3.0 million units in the first quarter of 1997 at $35.50 per
unit and 11.2 million units at September 30, 1997 at $36.625) net of 1.2
million units repurchased from Promus net borrowings under the Company's line
of credit of $180.1 million; and distributions paid of $57.0 million.

INFLATION

         Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room
rates periodically to reflect the effects of inflation. Competitive pressures
may, however, limit the Lessee's ability to raise room rates.

SEASONALITY

         The Hotels' operations historically have been seasonal in nature,
reflecting higher occupancy rates primarily during the first three quarters of
each year. This seasonality can be expected to cause fluctuations in the
Partnership's quarterly lease revenue, particularly during the fourth quarter,
to the extent that it receives Percentage Rent. To the extent the cash flow
from operations are insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or
seasonal fluctuations in lease revenue, the Partnership expects to utilize
other cash on hand or borrowings under the Line of Credit to make distributions
to its shareholders.

RECENTLY ISSUED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"),
No. 129 "Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure" ("SFAS 129"), No.
130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), and No. 131 "Disclosures
About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), all of
which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.

         SFAS 128 specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure
requirements for earnings per share. SFAS 129 establishes standards for
disclosing information about an entity's capital structure such as information
about securities, liquidation preference of preferred stock and redeemable
stock. SFAS 130 specifies the presentation and disclosure requirements for
reporting comprehensive income which includes those items which have been
formerly reported as a component of shareholders' equity. SFAS 131 establishes
the disclosure requirements for reporting segment information.

         Management believes that, when adopted, SFAS 128, 129, 130 and 131 will
not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
