ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

      On January 15, 2003, a joint venture owned by the respective operating
partnerships of the Company, Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne
Properties III, Inc. (the "Shelbourne REITs") acquired from Realty Holdings of
America, LLC, an unaffiliated third party, a 100% interest in an entity that
owns 20 motel properties triple net leased to an affiliate of Accor SA. The cash
purchase price, which was provided by working capital, was approximately
$2,700,000, of which approximately $1,096,000, $878,000 and $726,000 was paid by
the Company, Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne Properties III, Inc.,
respectively. The properties are also subject to existing mortgage indebtedness
in the current principal amount of approximately $74,220,000.

      The Shelbourne REITs formed the joint venture and acquired the interest in
the new properties in order to facilitate the disposition of the other
properties of the Shelbourne REITs and the distribution to shareholders of the
sales proceeds in accordance with the plans of liquidation of the Shelbourne
REITs approved by stockholders in October 2002. Prior to the acquisition of the
Accor S.A. properties, the holder of the Class A Preferred Units of the
operating partnerships had the right to cause the operating partnerships to
purchase the Preferred Units at a substantial premium to their liquidation value
(at the time of the acquisition, a premium of $6,603,000 in the case of the
Company's operating partnership and $16,264,000 for all three operating
partnerships) unless the operating partnerships maintained at least
approximately $54,200,000 of aggregate indebtedness ($22,000,000 in the case of
the Company's operating partnership) guaranteed by the holder of the Preferred
Units and secured by assets having an aggregate market value of at least
approximately $74,800,000 ($30,368,000 in the case of the Company's operating
partnership). These requirements significantly impaired the ability of the
Shelbourne REITs to sell their properties and make distributions in accordance
with their plans of liquidation. In lieu of these requirements, the operating
partnerships agreed to acquire the Accor S.A. properties for the benefit of the
holder of the Preferred Units. The holder of the Preferred Units does, however,
continue to have the right, under certain limited circumstances which the
Shelbourne REITs do not anticipate will occur, to cause the operating
partnerships to purchase the Preferred Units at the premium described above. The
terms of the Preferred Units were also modified to eliminate the $2,500,000
aggregate liquidation preferences to which the holder of the Preferred Units was
previously entitled ($1,015,148 in the case of the Company's operating
partnership).

      The holder of the Preferred Units has the right to require the operating
partnerships to acquire other properties for its benefit at an aggregate cash
cost to the operating partnerships of $2,500,000 (approximately $1,000,000 of
which would be paid by the Company's operating partnership). In that event the
Accor S.A. properties would not be held for the benefit of the holder of the
Preferred Units and would be disposed of as part of the liquidation of the
Shelbourne REITs.

      The foregoing description of the transaction does not purport to be
complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase
Agreement (and all exhibits thereto) dated as of January 15, 2003, the
Modification Agreement, dated as of January 15, 2003 and the Amended and
Restated Partnership Unit Designation for the operating partnership, copies of
which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 4.1, respectively, and
which are incorporated by reference herein.
