ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Bass Public Limited Company, Bass International Holdings N.V., Bass (U.S.A.) Incorporated, Holiday Corporation and Holiday Inns, Inc. (collectively "Bass") v. The Promus Companies Incorporated ("Promus"). A complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Promus on February 6, 1992, under Civil Action No. 92 Civ. 0969(SWK). The complaint alleges violation of Rule 10b-5 of the federal securities laws, intentional and negligent misrepresentation, breach of express warranties, breach of contract, and express and equitable indemnification. The complaint generally alleges breaches of representations and warranties under the Merger Agreement with respect to the 1990 spin-off of Promus and acquisition of the Holiday Inn hotel business
by Bass, violation of the federal securities laws due to such alleged breaches, and breaches of the Tax Sharing Agreement between Bass and Promus entered into at the closing of the Merger Agreement. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages, unspecified punitive or exemplary damages, and declaratory relief. The Company believes that it has complied with all applicable laws and agreements with Bass in connection with the Merger and is defending its position vigorously. Promus has filed (a) an answer denying, and asserting affirmative defenses to, the substantive allegations of the complaint and (b) counterclaims alleging that Bass has breached the Tax Sharing Agreement and agreements ancillary to the Merger Agreement. The counterclaims request unspecified compensatory damages, injunctive and declaratory relief and Promus' costs, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses. On April 17, 1992, Bass filed a motion seeking to disqualify the Company's outside counsel in the litigation, Latham & Watkins, on various grounds. That motion was denied by the trial court on January 7, 1994. Discovery has begun, but no trial date has been set.
Certain tax matters. In connection with the Spin-off, Promus is liable, with certain exceptions, for taxes of Holiday and its subsidiaries for all pre-merger tax periods. Bass is obligated under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement to pay Promus the amount of any tax benefits realized from pre-merger tax periods of Holiday and its subsidiaries. All federal income taxes and interest assessed by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the 1978 through 1984 tax years were paid during 1992. The federal income taxes and interest thereon associated with the agreed issues from the IRS audit of the 1985 and 1986 tax years were paid in 1991. Negotiations with the IRS to resolve disputed issues for the 1985 and 1986 tax years were concluded and settlement reached during fourth quarter 1993. Final payment of the federal income taxes and related interest due under the settlement is expected to be made during second quarter 1994. The IRS has completed its examination of Holiday's federal income tax returns for 1987 through the Spin-off date and has issued its proposed adjustments to those returns. Federal income taxes and related interest assessed on agreed issues were paid subsequent to year-end. The total liability of approximately $23.7 million for the federal income tax and interest payments to be made, as discussed above, was included in current liabilities on December 31, 1993. A protest of all unagreed issues for the 1987 through Spin-off periods was filed with the IRS during the third quarter of 1993 and negotiations to resolve disputed issues are currently expected to begin during the second quarter of 1994. Final resolution of the disputed issues is not expected to have a materially adverse effect on Promus' consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
Information as to the principal markets in which the Company's Common Stock is traded and the high and low prices of such stock for the last two years is set forth on the inside back cover of Book Two of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference. On February 26, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split (the "First Stock Split"), in the form of a stock dividend, which was effected by the distribution on March 29, 1993 of one additional share of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock owned by stockholders of record on March 8, 1993. On October 29, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a three-for-two stock split (the "Second Stock Split"), in the form of a stock dividend, which was effected by the distribution on November 29, 1993 of one additional share Common Stock for each two shares of Common Stock owned by stockholders of record on November 8, 1993. All references herein to dividends paid, numbers of common shares, per share prices and earnings per share amounts have been restated to give retroactive effect to the First Stock Split and the Second Stock Split.
The approximate number of holders of record of the Company's Common Stock as of March 4, 1994, is as follows:
The Company paid a special, one-time $10 (retroactively adjusted for the First Stock Split and the Second Stock Split) per share dividend to its common stockholders on February 22, 1990. The Company does not presently intend to declare any other cash dividends. The terms of the Company's Bank Facility substantially limit the Company's ability to pay cash dividends on Common Stock and limitations are also contained in agreements covering other debt of the Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis--Intercompany Dividend Restriction" on page 9 of Book Two of the Annual Report and Note 6 to the financial statements on pages 16 and 17 of Book Two of the Annual Report, which pages are incorporated herein by reference. When permitted under the terms of the Bank Facility and the other debt, the declaration and payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company intends to reevaluate its dividend policy in the future in light of the Company's results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. There can be no assurance that any cash dividends on Common Stock will be paid in the future.

THE PROMUS COMPANIES INCORPORATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1993
NOTE 1--BASIS OF ORGANIZATION
The Promus Companies Incorporated (Promus), a Delaware corporation, is a holding company, the principal assets of which are the capital stock of two subsidiaries, Embassy Suites, Inc. (Embassy) and Aster Insurance Ltd. (Aster). These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Promus and subsidiaries.
NOTE 2--FISCAL YEAR
As of the beginning of fiscal 1992, Promus changed from a fiscal year to a calendar year for financial reporting purposes. The impact of this change on Promus' financial statements was immaterial.
NOTE 3--ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS
Organizational costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year period.
NOTE 4--OWNERSHIP OF ASTER
The value of Promus' investment in Aster has been reduced below zero. Promus' negative investment in Aster at December 31, 1993 and 1992 was $12.8 million and $10.9 million, respectively, and is included in investments in and advances to subsidiaries on the accompanying balance sheets. In addition, Promus has guaranteed the future payment by Aster of certain insurance-related liabilities.
NOTE 5--LONG-TERM DEBT
Promus has no long-term debt obligations. Promus has guaranteed certain long-term debt obligations of Embassy.
NOTE 6--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On October 29, 1993, Promus' Board of Directors approved a three-for-two stock split (the October split), in the form of a stock dividend, effected by a distribution on November 29, 1993, of one additional share for each two shares owned by stockholders of record on November 8, 1993. The October split followed a two-for-one split, also effected as a stock dividend, approved by the Board on February 26, 1993, and distributed on March 29, 1993. The $1.50 par value per share of Promus' common stock was unchanged by these splits. The par value of the additional shares issued as a result of these splits was capitalized into common stock on the accompanying balance sheets by means of a transfer from capital surplus. All references in these financial statements to numbers of common shares and earnings per share have been restated to give retroactive effect to both stock splits.
During the second quarter of 1993, Sodak Gaming, Inc. (Sodak), in which a subsidiary of Embassy owns an equity investment, completed an initial public offering of its common stock. As required by equity accounting rules, Embassy's subsidiary increased the carrying value of its investment in Sodak by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the proceeds of Sodak's offering, approximately $6.4 million. A corresponding increase was recorded in the combination of the subsidary's capital surplus and S-5

In addition to its common stock, Promus has the following classes of stock authorized but unissued:
Preferred stock, $100 par value, 150,000 shares authorized Special stock, 5,000,000 shares authorized- Series B, $1.125 par value
NOTE 7--INCOME TAXES
Promus files a consolidated tax return with its subsidiaries.
During 1992, Promus and its subsidiaries adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The provisions of the statement were applied retroactively to the Spin-off date (February 7, 1990), and the cumulative effect of this change in accounting for income taxes of approximately $9.5 million was charged against stockholders' equity. There were no changes in the amounts of previously reported income from continuing operations or net income resulting from the application of this statement.
