Inapplicable. DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE None 1 PART I Item l. BUSINESS General Development of Business Famous Host Lodging V, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which was organized under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of California on January 17, 1984. An amendment to the Certificate of Limited Partnership was executed on February 13, 1991 which changed the Partnership's name from Super 8 Lodging V, Ltd. The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is Grotewohl Management Services, Inc., a California corporation organized and fifty percent owned by Philip B. Grotewohl. The Associate General Partner of the Partnership is Robert J. Dana. The Managing General Partner and the Associate General Partner are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the "General Partners." The Associate General Partner does not have general responsibility in connection with the management of the business and affairs of the Partnership. Through two public offerings of units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership (the "Units"), the Partnership sold 9,022 Units at a price of $1,000 per Unit. Substantially all of the net proceeds of the public offerings were expended for or committed to the acquisition and/or development of two lodging/restaurant properties, located in Barstow, California and San Francisco, California, respectively. In 1989 the Partnership sold its interest and development rights in its San Francisco property to another developer rather than completing the purchase and development of the property itself. The Partnership has received the consent of its limited partners (the "Limited Partners") to the sale of the Barstow property. See Item 4 hereof. However, as part of the arbitration proceeding commenced against the Partnership by its landlord (see Item 3 hereof), the Partnership has been unable to obtain the consent of the landlord to the transfer of the land lease, which is a condition to the consummation of the sale transaction. The Partnership and the buyer for the property have informally agreed to the extension of the purchase agreement to the later of April 30, 1999 or 30 days following the receipt of the decision in the arbitration. Furthermore, the Partnership has been unable to reach agreement with Holiday Inn as to the early termination of the franchise agreement. If the arbitration is decided in favor of the Partnership, or if the decision is in favor of the landlord but for limited damages, and if the Partnership is able to reach an agreement with Holiday Inn, it is likely, although not certain, that the sale would proceed on the terms approved by the Limited Partners. Otherwise, it is possible that the sale might not occur, in which event the Partnership would likely solicit purchase bids for the property from other parties. In all events, if the property is sold then at such time as the property is sold the Partnership would be dissolved under California law and, upon completion of its winding-up activities, the Partnership would be terminated. 2 Narrative Description of Business (a) Franchise Agreements Through February 4, 1991, the Partnership operated its Barstow hotel as a franchisee of Super 8 Motels, Inc. The Partnership now operates its Barstow hotel and restaurant as a franchise of Holiday Inns, Inc. under the name "Holiday Inn." The property began operations under such name on February 27, 1991. Holiday Inns offer accommodations in the mid-range of the lodging industry in terms of facilities and prices. Holiday Inns compete with hotels with brand names such as Ramada, Quality Inn, Courtyard by Marriott and certain upscale Best Westerns. (b) Operation of the Hotel and Restaurant Brown and Grotewohl, a California general partnership which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner (the "Manager"), manages and operates the Partnership's hotel and restaurant. The Manager's management responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the supervision and direction of the Partnership's employees who operate the hotel and restaurant, the establishment of room rates and the direction of the promotional activities of the Partnership's employees. In addition, the Manager directs the purchase of replacement equipment and supplies, maintenance activity and the engagement or selection of all vendors, suppliers and independent contractors. The Partnership's financial activities are performed by the individual motel staffs and a centralized accounting staff, all of which work under the direction of the Manager. Together, these staffs perform all bookkeeping duties in connection with the hotel and restaurant, including all collections and all disbursements to be paid out of funds generated by hotel operations or otherwise supplied by the Partnership. As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership employed a total of 70 persons, either full or part-time at the Barstow hotel and restaurant, including 13 desk clerks, 25 housekeeping and laundry personnel, four maintenance personnel, one general manager, 12 cooks and dishwashers, 11 servers and bus persons, three bartenders and one restaurant manager. In addition, and as of the same date, the Partnership employed 10 persons in administrative positions at its central office in Sacramento, California, all of whom worked for the Partnership on a part-time basis. They included accounting, investor service, sales and marketing and hotel supervisory personnel, an attorney, secretarial personnel, and purchasing personnel, including David Grotewohl, son of Philip Grotewohl, whom the Partnership employs as Director of Operations and as an attorney, and, until April 30, 1998, Mark Grotewohl, whom the Partnership employed as marketing and sales director. (c) Competition As discussed in greater detail below, the Partnership faces competition from hotels and motels of varying quality and size, including other mid-range hotels and motels which are part of nationwide chains and which have access to nationwide reservation systems. 3 Item 2. PROPERTIES Barstow On May 10, 1984, the Partnership entered into a long-term lease of 3.05 acres of unimproved land located on East Main Street in Barstow, California. The leasehold is located within a 15-acre parcel which was developed as a lodging, restaurant, retail and theater complex known as "Barstow Station Too!". The Barstow hotel is the only hotel or motel included in the complex. The original term of the lease is for 50 years with lessee's option to renew for three additional 10-year periods. The Barstow hotel, which consists of 148 guestrooms, was placed in service on December 31, 1985, at which date 96 guestrooms were available for occupancy. The remaining 52 guestrooms became available for occupancy on March 15, 1986. On June 15, 1987 the Partnership commenced operation of a family restaurant and cocktail lounge immediately adjacent to the Barstow hotel. The Partnership leases the restaurant facility from Fred Rosenberg, the lessor of the hotel site. On May 30, 1990, the Partnership entered into a written agreement with the lessor for the amendment of the hotel and restaurant facility leases. The restaurant facility lease term was extended from January 1, 1991 to December 31, 2010; however, the Partnership has the option of terminating the lease after January 1, 2001 if the Partnership should terminate its license to operate the hotel as a franchise of Holiday Inns, Inc. Additional rent for the hotel site and restaurant facility was changed so as to be the amount by which 9% of the combined annual gross sales from the hotel and restaurant facility exceeds the combined annual minimum rent ($275,556 as of December 31, 1997; $280,116 as of December 31, 1998) under the hotel site and restaurant facility leases. The leases provide that the improvements constructed by the Partnership on the leased premises will remain the property of the Partnership during the lease term but that upon expiration of the leases, title to any such improvements will pass to the lessor. In 1998, the Partnership incurred a total of $294,417 in rent expense for its Barstow hotel site and restaurant facility. See Item 3 hereof. In addition, the Partnership pays all property taxes and assessments for each leaseshold site. The Barstow hotel achieved the following average occupancy rates and average room rates during 1998, 1997 and 1996. Annual Averages 1998 1997 1996 ------------------------------------------- Average Occupancy 67.9% 68.6% 71.1% Rate Average Room Rate $70.90 $66.30 $64.63 4 The following lodging facilities provide direct and indirect competition to the Partnership's Barstow hotel: APPROXIMATE NUMBER DISTANCE FACILITY OF ROOMS FROM THE HOTEL ---------------------------------------------------------------- Quality Inn 100 Adjacent Days Inn 113 0.25 miles Comfort Inn 62 0.50 miles Vagabond Inn 67 0.50 miles Best Western 79 0.50 miles Holiday Inn Express 65 3.00 miles The Barstow hotel's major sources of patronage are generated by local military bases, with civilian Federal employees, military personnel and Federal government contractors generating approximately 24% of the hotel's room revenue. The Barstow area also attracts traveling salespeople and other commercial travelers. For a discussion of the revenue received by the Partnership from the restaurant and lounge see Item 7 hereof. Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Fred Rosenberg, d.b.a. Barstow Station, Too!, the Partnership's landlord (the "Lessor" ) has served upon the Partnership a Demand for Arbitration, dated September 24, 1998. In the demand, the Lessor has asked for (i) a declaration that the Partnership is in violation of the lease in that the Partnership's restaurant is not open for lunch (the Lessor alleging that this practice is not customary for businesses of like character in Barstow and that the lease requires the Partnership to operate the restaurant in such alleged customary fashion) and that the meeting and banquet rooms are not being operated for lunch; and (ii) damages in an amount to be proved but believed to be at least $250,000. On October 23, 1998 the Partnership transmitted its answer to the demand and the Partnership and the Managing General Partner transmitted a counterclaim praying for a dismissal of the Lessor's demand, compensatory damages for the Lessor's breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing contained in the lease, a declaration that no violation of the lease has occurred, and damages equal to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The counterclaim alleges that the Lessor breached his implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by leasing nearby property to the Sizzler Restaurant and Taco Bell, and that the changes in operating policies were dictated by changes economic circumstances since the lease was executed more than 14 years ago and by the Lessor's actions in leasing nearby property to direct competitors. The arbitration proceeding is scheduled to commence on April 12, 1999 in San Bernardino County, California. 5 Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS During November 1998 the Partnership submitted to the Limited Partners a consent solicitation statement soliciting the consent of the Limited Partners to (i) the sale of the Partnership's Barstow hotel and related assets at an aggregate purchase price of $4,100,000, and (ii) the dissolution and termination of the Partnership. The Limited Partners consented to such sale by majority vote. No meeting was held in connection with the solicitation of consents. The result of the solicitation was as follows: In favor, 7,245; opposed, 526; and not voting, 1,251. A determination as to whether or not the Partnership's hotel and relate personal property will be sold on the terms set forth in such solicitation statement will not be made until resolution of the arbitration proceeding brought by the Lessor and resolution of the issues surrounding the early termination of the Partnership's franchise. See Item 1 and Item 3 above. PART II Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Market Information The Units are not freely transferable and no public market in the Units has developed or is expected to develop. Holders As of December 31, 1998 a total of 1,794 investors held Units in the Partnership. Distributions Cash distributions are made from Cash Available for Distribution, defined in the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") as Cash Flow, less adequate cash reserves for obligations of the Partnership for which there is no provision. Cash Flow means cash funds provided from operations of the Partnership, without deduction for depreciation, but after deducting cash funds used to pay or provide for the payment of debt service, capital improvements and replacements and the operating expenses of the property and the Partnership. Of the Cash Available for Distribution in any year, the General Partners will receive 10% thereof, of which 9% will constitute a fee for managing the Partnership and 1% will be attributable to their interest in the profits of the Partnership. Notwithstanding the preceding, the General Partners will not receive any distributions of Cash Available for Distribution in any year in which the Limited Partners do not receive distributions of Cash Available for Distribution in an amount at least equal to a 14% cumulative return on their adjusted capital contributions. 6 The Partnership's distributions of Cash Available for Distribution during the two most recent fiscal years were as follows: Total Amount Date Distribution Per Unit ---------------------------------------- 02/15/97 $83,002 $9.20 05/15/97 $83,002 $9.20 08/15/97 $83,002 $9.20 11/15/97 $83,002 $9.20 02/15/98 $83,002 $9.20 No distributions of Cash Available for Distribution were made to the General Partners. Cash distributions are also made from Sale or Refinancing Proceeds, defined in the Partnership Agreement as the cash proceeds from a sale or refinancing of a Partnership property remaining after retirement of mortgage debt, all expenses related to the transaction, and any fees payable to the General Partners. Of the Sale or Refinancing Proceeds available for distribution in any year, the General Partners will receive 15% thereof, of which 14% will constitute a subordinated incentive fee and 1% will be attributable to their interest in the Partnership. Notwithstanding the preceding, the General Partners will not receive distributions of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds until each Limited Partner has received from cumulative distributions of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds an amount equal to 100% of his capital contributions and has received additional distributions from all sources equal to 10% per annum cumulative on his adjusted capital contributions. Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA Following are selected financial data for the Partnership for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995 and 1994. 7 FAMOUS HOST LODGING V, L. P. Item 6. Selected Financial Data Years Ended December 31: ---------------------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Guest room income $2,599,166 $2,458,115 $2,489,982 $2,466,338 $2,526,730 Restaurant income 422,079 $690,622 $655,746 $636,141 $701,900 Interest income 6,879 $6,938 $9,131 $11,825 $13,899 Net income (loss) 160,383 ($45,074) $14,787 $78,676 $188,470 Per Partnership Unit: Cash distributions $9.20 $36.80 $36.80 $36.80 $34.40 Net income (loss) $17.60 $(4.95) $1.62 $8.63 $20.68 December 31: ---------------------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total assets $2,476,898 $2,430,463 $2,815,123 $3,127,918 $3,411,671 Long-term debt - - - - - (1) On an annual basis, to the extent cash distributions exceed net income, Limited Partners receive a return of capital rather than a return on capital. However, an annual analysis will be misleading if the Limited Partners do not receive their investment back upon liquidation of the Partnership. For investors who purchased their Units directly from the Partnership, the original investment was $1,000 per Unit, cumulative allocations of income through December 31, 1998 were approximately $55 per Unit, and cumulative distributions through December 31, 1998 were approximately $647 per Unit. Investors who did not purchase their Units directly from the Partnership must consult with their own advisors in this regard. 8 Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership's primary source of liquidity is its cash flow from operations. The Partnership had as of December 31, 1998 current assets of $457,929, current liabilities of $145,818 and, therefore, an operating reserve of $312,111. The Partnership Agreement requires reserves equal to 5% of the adjusted capital accounts, which are approximately $5,536,000. Current reserves are above this $276,800 required reserve. During the fiscal year ended covered by this report, the Partnership expended $114,523 for renovations and replacements, of which $50,906 was capitalized. The expenditures included $7,221 for chairs and sleep sofas, $11,541 for pool refurbishing, $17,188 for guestroom carpet, $29,076 for telephone equipment, $7,478 for lamp and ballast upgrades, $18,915 for roof repairs and $6,660 for replacement air-conditioning equipment. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, the Partnership expended $103,300 for renovations and replacements, of which $50,387 was capitalized. The expenditures included $25,714 for desk chairs, chairs and sleep sofas, $19,721 for parking lot repairs, $12,341 for guestroom carpet, $6,200 for security equipment, $7,478 for lamp and ballast upgrades, $5,700 for roof repairs and $7,132 for restaurant signage. The Managing General Partner believes that the Partnership's ability to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its normal cash needs is adequate. However, if the arbitrators were to grant a substantial award to the Lessor (see Item 3 hereof) it is possible that the Partnership would not have sufficient cash to pay such award. Accordingly, whether or not Partnership will have adequate liquidity is dependent upon the results of the arbitration, as to which no predictions can be made. As discussed in Items 1, 3 and 4 hereof, the Partnership has received the approval of the Limited Partners to the sale of its hotel for a cash purchase price of $4,100,000. However, when or even if the hotel will be sold is contingent upon the results of the arbitration proceeding as well as the results of the negotiations with Holiday Inn respecting the early termination of the Partnership's franchise. In the event that the hotel is sold, upon closing of the sale transaction the Partnership would be dissolved. Thereafter, the Partnership would wind-up its activities, and upon conclusion of the winding-up process would be terminated. If the hotel is not sold, the Partnership would continue to own and operate the hotel, assuming its liquidity with respect thereto is adequate. 9 Results of Operations Combined Financial Results The following tables summarize the Partnership's operating results for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 on a combined basis. Individual hotel and restaurant results follow in separate subsections. The income and expense numbers in the following table are shown on an accrual basis and other payments on a cash basis. Total expenditures and debt service include the operating expenses of the motel, together with the cost of capital improvements. Average Average Hotel Hotel Occupancy Room Fiscal Year Ended: Rate Rate ------------------------------------------------------ December 31, 1996 71.1% $64.63 December 31, 1997 68.6% $66.30 December 31, 1998 67.9% $70.90 Total Partnership Total Expenditures Cash Flow Fiscal Year Ended: Revenues and Debt Service (1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 1996 $3,257,416 $2,961,860 $295,556 December 31, 1997 $3,250,726 $3,063,793 $186,933 December 31, 1998 $3,124,497 $2,769,218 $355,279 (1) (1) While Partnership Cash Flow as it is used here is not an amount found in the financial statements, the Managing General Partner believes it is the best indicator of the annual change in the amount, if any, available for distribution to the Limited Partners because it tracks the definition of the term "Cash Flow" as it is used in the Partnership Agreement. These calculations are reconciled to the financial statements in the following table. Following is a reconciliation of Total Expenditures and Debt Service as used above to Total Expenses as shown ion the Statement of Operations (in the audited financial statements): 1998 1997 1996 ------------------------------------ Total Expenditures and Debt Service $2,769,218 $3,063,793 $2,961,860 Net Additions to Fixed Assets (50,906) (50,387) (29,643) Depreciation and Amortization 245,802 281,791 299,764 Other Items 0 603 10,648 ------------------------------------ Total Expenses $2,964,114 $3,295,800 $3,242,629 ==================================== 10 A reconciliation of Partnership Cash Flow (from the chart above) to Net Income (Loss) as shown on the Statements of Operations (in the audited financial statements) is as follows: 1998 1997 1996 ------------------------------------ Partnership Cash Flow $355,279 $186,933 $295,556 Net Additions to Fixed Assets 50,906 50,387 29,643 Depreciation and Amortization (245,802) (281,791) (299,764) Other Items 0 (603) (10,648) ------------------------------------ Net Income $160,383 ($45,074) $14,787 ==================================== The following is a reconciliation of the Partnership Cash Flow (shown above) to the aggregate total of Cash Flow from Hotel Operations (shown in the succeeding subsection) and the Total Restaurant Net Loss (shown in the second succeeding subsection). 1998 1997 1996 --------------------------------- Cash Flow from Hotel Operations $500,723 $408,473 $467,476 Total Restaurant Net Loss (152,503) (231,552) (182,081) --------------------------------- Aggregate Cash Flow from Property Operations $348,220 $176,921 285,395 Interest on Cash Reserves 6,879 6,938 9,131 Other Income (net of Other Expenses) not allocated to the property 180 3,074 1,030 --------------------------------- Partnership Cash Flow $355,279 $186,933 $295,556 ================================= Hotel Operations The following table summarizes the operating results of the hotel for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996. Total expenditures include the operating expenses of the hotel, together with the cost of capital improvements and those Partnership expenses properly allocable to such hotel.

The decrease in average occupancy rate from 68.6% in 1997 to 67.9% in 1998 was offset by an increase in the average daily rate from $66.30 in 1997 to $70.90 in 1998. The occupancy generated by the military/government market segment declined while occupancy from the corporate and leisure market segments increased. 11 The Partnership's hotel experienced a $38,298 or 1.5% decrease in total revenues during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the previous fiscal year. The decrease in average occupancy rate from 71.1% in 1996 to 68.6% in 1997 was partially offset by an increase in the average daily rate from $64.63 in 1996 to $66.30 in 1997. The occupancy generated by the group market segments declined while occupancy by the other market segments stayed about the same. The average room rate for all market segments increased due to rate increases. The Barstow hotel's total expenditures increased $49,122 or 2.3% during the fiscal year covered by this report as compared to the previous fiscal year. This included increases of $7,371 for additional billboards, $17,680 for central overhead allocation, $16,868 for housekeeping wages, $60,862 for legal fees and $11,223 for renovations and replacements. These increases were partially offset by reductions of $15,648 in security services, $7,068 in telephone charges and $11,754 in maintenance wages. The Barstow hotel's total expenditures increased $20,705 or 1.0% during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the previous fiscal year. This included increases of $7,855 for additional billboards, $9,139 for central overhead allocation, $8,776 for travel agent commissions, $8,145 for legal fees and $43,879 for renovations and replacements. These increases were partially offset by reductions of $34,243 in security services. Restaurant Operations The following table summarizes the operating results of the restaurant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996: 1998 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- Food Sales $341,153 100.0% $533,750 100.0% $506,255 100.0% Cost of Food Sales (139,857) -41.0% (229,820) -43.1% (203,022) -40.1% --------- --------- --------- Gross Profit from Food Sales $201,296 59.0% $303,930 56.9% 303,233 59.9% Beverage Sales 80,926 100.0% 156,871 100.0% 149,490 100.0% Cost of Beverages Sold (24,720) -30.5% (50,488) -32.2% (50,866) -34.0% --------- --------- --------- Gross Profit from Beverage Sales $56,206 69.5% $106,383 67.8% 98,624 66.0% --------- --------- --------- Combined Gross Profit $257,502 61.0% $410,313 59.4% 401,857 61.3% Restaurant Operating Expenses (410,005) -97.1% (641,865) -92.9% (583,938) -89.0% --------- --------- --------- Total Restaurant Net Loss ($152,503) -36.1% ($231,552) -33.5% $(182,081) -27.8% ========= ========= ========= The Partnership's restaurant at the Barstow Holiday Inn achieved a $79,049 or 34.1% decrease in its net loss during the fiscal year covered by this report as compared to the previous fiscal year. Effective February 23, 1998, the restaurant hours were reduced to seven hours per day. Losses are about $50,000 greater than planned as full time restaurant management was retained pending resolution of a lawsuit between the landlord and the Partnership. The landlord contends that the reduced hours are a violation of the restaurant lease. See Item 4 above. 12 The Partnership's restaurant at the Barstow Holiday Inn experienced a $49,471 or 27.2% increase in its net loss during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the previous fiscal year. There was an effort to increase restaurant sales, but the costs rose faster than revenue. Other Financial Information In 1996 the computers used by the Partnership at the Managing General Partner's offices in Sacramento were updated. In the process of updating its hardware and software, the Managing General Partner eliminated any potential Year 2000 problem with respect to such computers. Similarly, the Managing General Partner does not anticipate any material Year 2000 problem with the computers at the motel. The Managing General Partner has not investigated and does not know whether any Year 2000 problem may arise from its third party vendors. Because the motel is a "budget" motel, the Partnership's most significant vendors are its utility providers and banks. To the extent banking services, utility services and other goods and services are unavailable as a result of Year 2000 problems with the computer systems of such vendors or otherwise, the ability of the Partnership to conduct business at its motel would be compromised. No contingency plans have been developed in this regard. Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Inapplicable. Item 8.

F-2 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Partners Famous Host Lodging V, L. P. We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Famous Host Lodging V, L. P., a California limited partnership, as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Famous Host Lodging V, L. P. as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Notes 10 and 11 in the financial statements, the Partnership has entered into an agreement to sell the Partnership's properties. If the property is sold then at such time the Partnership will be dissolved. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Partnership will continue as a going concern until such time as the property is sold. As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Partnership is involved in arbitration proceedings in connection with the land lease. The uncertainty of the outcome of these proceedings raises sustantial doubt as to the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. VOCKER KRISTOFFERSON AND CO.

F-8 FAMOUS HOST LODGING V, L. P. (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - THE PARTNERSHIP Famous Host Lodging V, L.P. is a limited partnership organized under California law on January 17, 1984, to acquire and/or develop and operate hotel properties in the State of California. The term of the Partnership expires December 31, 2023, and may be dissolved earlier under certain circumstances (see Note 12). On February 13, 1991 the Partnership Agreement was amended to change the name of the Partnership from "Super 8 Lodging V, Ltd." to "Famous Host Lodging V, L.P." The hotel in Barstow, California was opened in December 1985. In 1987 the Partnership commenced operation of a family restaurant and cocktail lounge immediately adjacent to the hotel. The Partnership grants credit to customers, substantially all of which are local businesses. The managing general partner is Grotewohl Management Services, Inc., the fifty percent stockholder and officer of which is Philip B. Grotewohl. In addition, there is one individual associate general partner. The net income or net loss of the Partnership is allocated 1% to the General Partners and 99% to the Limited Partners. Net income (loss) and distributions per partnership unit are based upon 9,022 units outstanding. All partnership units are owned by the Limited Partners. The partnership agreement requires that the Partnership maintain working capital reserves for normal repairs, replacements, working capital and contingencies in an amount of at least 5% of gross proceeds of the public offering of units as adjusted for distributions of sales proceeds ($276,799 at December 31, 1998). As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership had working capital of $312,111. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Items of Partnership income or loss are passed through to the individual partners for income tax purposes, along with any income tax credits. Therefore, no federal or California income taxes are provided for in the financial statements of the Partnership.. Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the following estimated useful lives and methods: Description Methods Useful Lives ----------------------- ---------------------- ------------ Building and components 150% declining balance 10-25 years and straight-line Furniture and equipment 200% declining balance 4-7 years and straight-line Costs incurred in connection with maintenance and repair are charged to expense. Major renewals and betterments that materially prolong the lives of assets are capitalized. F-9 FAMOUS HOST LODGING V, L.P. (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 3 - CASH AND TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS Cash and temporary investments as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 consist of the following: 1998 1997 --------- --------- Cash in bank $ 44,385 $ 71,809 Money market accounts 325,799 74,304 --------- --------- Total Cash and Temporary Investments $ 370,184 $ 146,113 ========= ========= Temporary investments are recorded at cost, which approximates market value. The Partnership considers temporary investments and all highly liquid marketable securities with original maturities of five months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT The following is a summary of the accumulated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment: 1998 1997 ---------- ---------- Building $2,345,614 $2,196,453 Furniture and equipment 1,087,418 993,730 ---------- ---------- $3,433,032 $3,190,183 ========== ========== The following is a summary of the federal income tax basis as of December 31, 1998: Building $4,470,012 Furniture and equipment 1,289,698 ---------- 5,269,710 Less accumulated depreciation 4,076,523 ---------- $1,193,187 ========== F-10 FAMOUS HOST LODGING V, L.P. (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Property Management Fees The General Partners, or their affiliates, handle the management of the hotel property of the Partnership. The fee for this service is 5% of the gross revenues from Partnership operations, as defined in the partnership agreement, and amounted to $155,429 in 1998, $161,840 in 1997 and $162,361 in 1996. Subordinated Distributions to General Partners During the Partnership's operational stage, the General Partners are to receive an aggregate of 10% of Partnership distributions from cash available for distribution, of which 9% will constitute a fee for managing the Partnership and 1% will be on account of their interest in the income and losses of the Partnership. These distributions are subordinated, however, to payment to each Limited Partner during such year of distributions from cash available for distribution equal to a 14% per annum non-cumulative return on his adjusted capital contribution. Through December 31, 1998, the Limited Partners have not received a 14% non-cumulative return in any year, therefore no distributions have been made or have accrued to the General Partners. Subordinated Incentive Distributions Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the General Partners are to receive an aggregate of 15% of Partnership distributions of net proceeds from the sale or refinancing of Partnership properties. The aggregate distribution of 15% is composed of a 14% subordinated incentive fee as additional compensation for services rendered by the General Partners and the 1% on account of their interest in the income and losses of the Partnership. These distributions are subordinated, however, to net proceeds from the sale or refinancing of Partnership properties remaining after distribution to the Limited Partners of any portion thereof required to cause distributions to the Limited Partners from all sources to be equal to their capital contributions plus 10% per annum cumulative return on their adjusted capital contributions. At December 31, 1998, the Limited Partners had not received the 10% per annum cumulative return, and accordingly, no such proceeds have been distributed to the General Partners. Administrative Expenses Shared by the Partnership and Its Affiliates There are certain administrative expenses allocated between the Partnership and other partnerships managed by the General Partners and their affiliates. These expenses, which are allocated based on usage, are telephone, data processing, rent of the administrative office, and administrative salaries. Management believes that the methods used to allocate shared administrative expenses are reasonable. The administrative expenses allocated to the Partnership were approximately $247,000 in 1998, $230,000 in 1997 and $225,000 in 1996 and are included in general and administrative expenses and hotel and restaurant operations expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Included in administrative salaries are allocated amounts paid to two employees who are related to Philip B. Grotewohl, the fifty percent stockholder of Grotewohl Management Services, Inc. (see Note 1), the General Partner. F-11 FAMOUS HOST LODGING V, L.P. (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 5 - LEASE COMMITMENTS The Partnership leases 3.05 acres of land in Barstow, California for a term of 50 years beginning in 1984. The Partnership has the right to extend the lease for three consecutive periods of ten years each. The base rent payments are subject to annual upward or downward adjustments based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. (See also note 11.) The Partnership also leases the site adjacent to its Barstow hotel that contains a restaurant and lounge. The lease provides for a 20-year term ending December 31, 2010 with an option to terminate this lease after termination of the Holiday Inn license agreement. The option cannot be exercised before the tenth year of the renewal term and requires six months written notice. Both leases contain provisions requiring the lessee to pay all property taxes and assessments. The leases provide for payment of the excess of percentage rent over the base rent. The percentage rent is 9% of the combined gross hotel room revenues and gross restaurant and lounge sales. Rental expense under these leases incurred by the Partnership amounted to $294,417 in 1998, $299,375 in 1997 and $299,569 in 1996. Such amounts are included in hotel and restaurant operations expense in the accompanying statements of operations. Future lease commitments at December 31, 1998, using the current minimum monthly amounts, are as follows: Years Ended Hotel Land Restaurant December 31: Lease Lease Total ------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- 1999 $ 166,536 $ 118,404 $ 284,940 2000 166,536 118,404 284,940 2001 166,536 118,404 284,940 2002 166,536 118,404 284,940 2003 166,536 118,404 284,940 2003-2034 5,245,884 947,232 6,193,116 ---------- ----------- ---------- Total minimum future lease payments $6,078,564 $1,539,252 $7,617,816 ========== ========== ========== F-12 FAMOUS HOST LODGING V, L.P.

The Partnership pays monthly franchise fees of 4% of gross room revenues of the hotel and makes monthly contributions of 1 1/2% and 1% of guest room revenues to a marketing fund and reservation fund, respectively. NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amount of cash and temporary investments approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those investments. F-13 FAMOUS HOST LODGING V, L.P. (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE 9 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Partnership maintains its cash accounts in five commercial banks located in California. Accounts at each bank are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000 per bank. A summary of the total uninsured cash balances (not reduced by outstanding checks) as of December 31, 1998 follows: Total cash in all California banks $394,769 Portion insured by FDIC (100,000) -------- Uninsured cash balance $294,769 ======== NOTE 10 - PENDING SALE OF MOTEL ASSETS On May 15, 1998 the Partnership and four other limited partnerships managed by the general partner entered into a contract to sell all their motel assets. Escrow for the sales opened June 1998. By majority vote the limited partners of the Partnership have approved the sale of the Partnership's motel assets pursuant to such contract, and the limited partners of the four other limited partnerships have also approved by majority vote the sale of their respective limited partnership's motel assets. The sale of the Partnership's motel assets and the motel assets of the other limited partnerships are subject to certain contingencies (see Note 11). The Partnership has been unable to reach an agreement with the franchisor as to the early termination of the franchise agreement. Because of these contingencies the Partnership has not yet reclassified its motel assets as held for sale. If the sale occurs on the terms approved by the limited partners, it is anticipated that the Partnership would report a gain per books in the amount of approximately $2,100,000. Accordingly, there has been no adjustment to the carrying value of the Partnership's motel assets. If the sale is consummated the Partnership would be dissolved. In connection with the anticipated sale of the motel assets, the Partnership has incurred reimbursable costs in the amount of $36,286 which are included as other receivables in the accompanying balance sheet. NOTE 11 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On September 24, 1998 the Lessor of the Barstow Land lease (see note 5) served upon the Partnership a demand for arbitration. In the demand, the Lessor has asked for damages of at least $250,000 due to alleged violations of certain lease requirements in connection with the hours of operations and the use of meeting and banquet rooms. On October 23, 1998 the Partnership served the Lessor with a counterclaim asking for a dismissal of the Lessor's demand and compensatory damages for the Lessor's breach of his implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing with regard to leasing of nearby properties. At this stage in the proceedings, management cannot estimate the outcome of the arbitration. F-14 Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE Inapplicable. PART III Item 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT Dennis A. Brown and Grotewohl Management Services, Inc. were the original managing general partners of the Partnership, and Robert J. Dana was the original associate general partner of the Partnership. Upon the death of Mr. Brown on February 25, 1988, Grotewohl Management Services, Inc. and Mr. Dana elected to continue the Partnership as the Managing General Partner and Associate General Partner, respectively. The General Partner was organized in 1981 to serve as a general partner of limited partnerships to be formed for the purpose of investing in Super 8 Motels. The 50% shareholder, sole director and principal executive officer of the General Partner is Mr. Grotewohl. Mr. Grotewohl, age 80, was an attorney-at-law and was engaged in the private practice of law in San Mateo County, California, between 1967 and 1978. Since 1978, Mr. Grotewohl's principal occupation has been as a promoter and general partner of Super 8 Motels limited partnerships Mr. Robert J. Dana, age 70, was active in the securities industry through the 1980's. He is presently retired. Item 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Although Mr. Brown ceased to be a general partner of the Partnership upon his death, a trust established for Mr. Brown's heirs shares in certain of the compensation otherwise payable to the General Partners and their affiliates. Property Management Fees The Manager, a California general partnership which is owned equally by the Brown trust and the Managing General Partner, is managing the Partnership's hotel and restaurant. The fee for this service is 5% of the gross hotel and restaurant revenue. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the Partnership paid property management fees in the amount of $155,429 to the Manager. 14 General Partners' Interest in Cash Available for Distribution At quarterly intervals, the total amount of the Partnership's Cash Available for Distribution is determined at the discretion of the General Partners. (See Item 5 above.) Distributions therefrom are made as follows: (1) 90% of such distributions are paid to the Limited Partners; (2) 9% thereof is paid to the General Partners as Partnership management fees; and (3) 1% thereof is paid to the General Partners in accordance with their interest in the income and losses of the Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, distributions of Cash Available for Distribution to the General Partners which would otherwise be paid to the General Partners are deferred and paid only after payment to the Limited Partners of distributions of Cash Available for Distribution in an amount equal to a 14% per annum cumulative return on their adjusted capital contributions. No such distributions were paid or accrued for the account of the General Partners during the fiscal year covered by this report. General Partners' Interest in Net Proceeds of Sales and Refinancing of Partnership Properties The proceeds from the sale or refinancing of properties are to be distributed first to the Limited Partners until they have received cumulative payments from the sale or refinancing of properties equal to 100% of their original capital contributions and cumulative payments from all sources equal to a 10% per annum return on their adjusted capital contributions. When the foregoing requirement has been satisfied, any remaining funds from the sale or refinancing of properties will be distributed 15% to the General Partners and 85% to the Limited Partners. No such distributions were paid or accrued for the account of the General Partners during the fiscal year covered by this report.

Changes in Control With the consent of all other General Partners and Limited Partners holding more than 50% of the Units, a General Partner may designate a successor or additional general partner, in each case with such participation in such General Partner's interest as such General Partner and successor or additional general partner may agree upon, provided that the interests of the Limited Partners are not affected thereby. A General Partner may withdraw from the Partnership at any time upon 60 days' prior written notice to the Limited Partners and any other General Partners, or may transfer his interest to an entity controlled by him; provided, however, that in either such event, if it is determined that the Partnership business is to be continued rather than dissolved and liquidated upon the happening thereof, the withdrawal or transfer will be effective only after receipt by the Partnership of an opinion of counsel to the effect that such withdrawal or transfer will not cause the Partnership to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation rather than as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The Limited Partners shall take no part in the management of the Partnership's business; however, a majority in interest of the Limited Partners, without the concurrence of the General Partners, shall have the right to amend the Partnership Agreement, dissolve the Partnership, remove a General Partner or any successor general partner, elect a new general partner or general partners upon the removal, retirement, death, insanity, dissolution, insolvency or bankruptcy of a General Partner, and approve or disapprove the sale, exchange or pledge in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the properties acquired by the Partnership. 16 Item 13.
