ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

         Host Funding, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
Maryland in December, 1994 and was inactive from inception to March 31, 1995.
On April 1, 1995, All American Group Ltd., a Delaware limited partnership
("AAG"), and the Company entered into a Contribution and Assumption Agreement
pursuant to which AAG transferred, assigned and conveyed to the Company all
of the real property including land, personal property, and loan fees of four
Super 8 Motels located in Somerset, Kentucky; Miner, Missouri; Poplar Bluff,
Missouri; and Rock Falls, Illinois (the "AAG Hotels"). The Company's Class A
Common Stock began trading on the American Stock Exchange on April 22, 1996,
the date of the initial public offering. Simultaneously with the initial
public offering, the Company acquired a Super 8 Motel located in San Diego,
California (the "San Diego Super 8"). The AAG Hotels and the San Diego Super
8 are herein referred to as the "Initial Hotels".

          The Company is engaged in the business of acquiring high quality,
limited-service and full service hotels throughout the United States which
are affiliated with national or regional hotel chains. Although the Company
is structured as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), it has not yet
elected REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations."
Since the commencement of Company operations and the acquisition of the
Initial Hotels, the Company has formed wholly-owned subsidiaries for the
purpose of owning the Initial Hotels and acquiring additional hotel
properties. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the Company
herein include the Company and its subsidiaries.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

         In September, 1996 the Company formed CrossHost, Inc., as a
wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of the Company ("CrossHost"). Upon
formation, CrossHost acquired four Sleep Inn Hotels located in Destin,
Sarasota and Tallahassee, Florida and Ocean Springs, Mississippi, pursuant to
an acquisition and credit facility provided by Credit Suisse First Boston
Capital, LLC ("First Boston"). In addition, the Company transferred to
CrossHost the Initial Hotels.

         On March 14, 1997 the Company formed Host Ventures, Inc., as a
wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary of the Company ("Host Ventures").
Upon formation, Host Ventures acquired a 90 room Super 8 Hotel located in
Flagstaff, Arizona, pursuant to an acquisition and credit facility provided
by First Boston. In addition, CrossHost transferred to Host Ventures the
Sleep Inn Hotels owned by CrossHost and located in Ocean Springs, Mississippi
and Sarasota, Florida.

         On October 21, 1997, the Company completed the purchase of two
Country Hearth Inn hotel properties (the "Country Hearth Inns") located in
Auburn, Indiana and Findlay, Ohio consisting of 150 rooms. The Company
completed the purchase by forming two special purpose limited

                                       3

<PAGE>

partnerships with Buckhead America Corporation, a publicly-traded hotel
company ("Buckhead"), of which the Company is the beneficial owner of
approximately 80% of the limited partnership interests and a 1% general
partnership interest in each limited partnership. Buckhead beneficially owns
approximately 19% of the remaining limited partnership interests in each
limited partnership.

         As of December 31, 1997, the hotel property portfolio of the Company
consisted of 12 hotels located in 9 states consisting of approximately 922
rooms. Unless the context otherwise requires, the hotel properties owned by
the subsidiaries of the Company are herein referred to as the "Company
Hotels".

MANAGEMENT OF HOTELS

         Excluding the two Country Hearth Inns, which are leased, managed and
operated by Buckhead pursuant to separate lease agreements, the Company
Hotels are leased to Crossroads Hospitality Tenant Company, LLC
("Crossroads"), as lessee, and are further subject to Master Agreements among
the Company, Crossroads and Crossroads Hospitality Company, LLC ("Crossroads
Hospitality"). Each of Crossroads and Crossroads Hospitality is controlled by
Interstate Hotels Corporation, a publicly held, nation wide operator and
manager of hotel properties. Crossroads does not lease, manage or operate any
hotels other than those owned by the Company. The Company has agreed in
principle with Crossroads to terminate, during the second quarter of 1998,
all of the lease agreements, including the Master Agreements, relating to
Company Hotels leased by Crossroads. Subject to the termination of the lease
agreements and related Master Agreements, the Company has also entered into a
letter of intent to enter into new lease agreements or management agreements
with Buckhead or its affiliate with respect to all of the Company Hotels
currently leased to Crossroads. The Company anticipates that the new lease
agreements will contain substantially the same terms as the current lease
agreements with Crossroads.

PERCENTAGE LEASES

         IN GENERAL

         The Company leases each of the Company Hotels pursuant to the
Company's standard form Percentage Lease (herein so called). Each Percentage
Lease contains substantially the provisions described below, and the Company
intends that future leases with respect to its hotel property investments
will contain substantially similar provisions, although the Company's Board
of Directors may, in its discretion, alter any of these provisions with
respect to any particular lease, depending on the purchase price paid,
economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant at the time, and as may
be necessary to achieve or in the future maintain the Company's status as a
REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.

         PERCENTAGE LEASE TERMS

         Each Percentage Lease has an initial term of not less than fifteen
years, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain
contingencies described in the Percentage Leases (including, particularly,
provisions relating to damage to hotels, condemnation of hotels, and
termination on disposition of hotels).

                                       4

<PAGE>

         AMOUNTS PAYABLE UNDER THE PERCENTAGE LEASES

         During the term of each Percentage Lease, the lessee is obligated to
pay (i) base rent, (ii) percentage rent, and (iii) other than the property
taxes on the hotels (the Company is obligated to pay such property taxes),
all taxes, assessments, ground rents, water, sewer or other rents and
charges, excises, tax inspection, authorization or similar fees and all other
governmental charges (the "Impositions"), and (iv) every fine, penalty,
interest and cost for non-payment or late payment of base rent, percentage
rent, or the Impositions. Base rent accrues and is required to be paid
monthly. Percentage rent is based on percentages of room revenues for each of
the hotels. Percentage rent is due and payable quarterly.

         MAINTENANCE, MODIFICATIONS AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

         Generally, the lessee, at its expense, is required to maintain the
hotels in good order and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear, and to
make non-structural repairs, foreseen and unforeseen repairs, and ordinary
repairs which may be necessary and appropriate to keep the hotels in good
order and repair.

         The lessee, at its expense and subject to approval by the Company,
may make non-capital and capital additions, modifications or improvements to
the hotels, provided that such action does not significantly alter the
character or purposes of the hotels or significantly detract from the value
or operating efficiencies of the hotels. All such alterations, replacements
and improvements become the property of the Company upon termination of the
Percentage Leases. The Company owns substantially all personal property
(other than inventory, linens and other nondepreciable personal property) not
affixed to, or deemed a part of, the real estate or improvements thereon,
except to the extent that ownership of such personal property would cause the
rents under a Percentage Lease not to qualify as "rents from real property"
for REIT income test purposes.

         Under the Percentage Leases, the Company is required to fund into
replacement reserve accounts (the "Reserve Accounts") amounts ranging from
four percent (4%) to six percent (6%) of gross room revenue for the preceding
month. Deposits in the Reserve Accounts are used to fund replacements of
furniture, fixtures and equipment and for capital additions to the hotels.
Expenditures from the Reserve Accounts generally must be jointly approved by
the Company and the lessee.

         INSURANCE AND PROPERTY TAXES

         The Company is responsible for paying the property taxes on the
Company Hotels. Any changes in the terms of the property taxes will be made
pursuant to local tax statutes. The lessee is required to pay for all
insurance on the Company Hotels, with extended coverage, including business
interruption, casualty, comprehensive general public liability, workers'
compensation and other insurance as described in the Percentage Leases, and
must name the Company as the insured or an additional named insured.

                                       5

<PAGE>

         INDEMNIFICATION

         Under each of the Percentage Leases, the lessee is obligated to
indemnify and hold harmless, the Company from and against all liabilities,
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
incurred by, imposed upon or asserted against the Company; provided, however,
that such indemnification will not be construed to require the lessee to
indemnify the Company against the Company's own grossly negligent acts or
omissions or willful misconduct.

         MASTER AGREEMENTS

         The Company Hotels leased by Crossroads are subject to two separate
Master Agreements among the Company, Crossroads and Crossroads Hospitality,
whereby Crossroads Hospitality secures certain obligations of Crossroads. The
obligations relate to the payment of termination fees if Crossroads
voluntarily terminates more than one of the Percentage Leases in the first
five years of each of the Percentage Leases and the payment of termination
fees and/or rent in the event Crossroads defaults under any of the Percentage
Leases. To secure the obligations of Crossroads under the Percentage Leases,
Crossroads Hospitality pledged as collateral pursuant to each Master
Agreement 30,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (a total of
60,000 shares) acquired by Crossroads Hospitality in the Company's initial
public offering to collateralize the payment of rent due under the Percentage
Leases during the first three years of the lease terms. Effective March 25,
1998, the Company agreed to release the shares of Class A Common Stock
serving as collateral under the Master Agreements, in return for Crossroads
Hospitality guarantying the obligations of Crossroads under the Percentage
Leases as previously secured by such shares. In the event the Company
terminates the existing lease agreements with Crossroads as described in
"Management of Hotels" above, the Master Agreements with Crossroads will also
be terminated.

FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS

         All of the Company Hotels are currently operated pursuant to
franchise agreements (the "Franchise Agreements"). The Company expects that a
majority of any additional hotel properties it may acquire will also be
subject to similar agreements. The Company believes that franchises
(including hotel licenses) generally provide advantages to hotel operators
through the use of advertising on a much broader scale than would be possible
for an individual hotel or small group of hotels, nationally recognized brand
names, nationally accessible reservations systems, technical and business
assistance to the individual franchisee and substantial buying power over
approved suppliers.

         The Franchise Agreements generally require the franchisee to pay a
monthly franchise fee based on gross sales and to pay various other marketing
fees associated with certain marketing or advertising and centralized
reservation service funds, usually based on gross sales. The responsibility
for payment of the franchise fees has been assigned to the lessee under the
Percentage Leases. Such fees may vary between individual hotels within a
franchise system based on the type of marks, restaurants or other aspects of
the particular franchise system.

                                       6

<PAGE>

         The Franchise Agreements generally contain specific standards for,
and restrictions and limitations on, the operation and maintenance of the
hotels which are established by the franchisors to maintain uniformity in the
system created by each such franchisor. Such standards generally regulate the
hours of operation, maintenance, appearance and cleanliness, quality and type
of goods and services offered, signage, protection of marks and advancement
of marks. Compliance with such standards could require significant
expenditures by the lessee of the hotel for capital improvements. Any such
improvements could increase the value of the applicable hotel to the benefit
of the Company.

         The Franchise Agreements generally require the consent of the
franchisor to a transfer of an interest in the applicable franchise, and both
the consent of the franchisor and the execution of a new franchise agreement
in the event of a transfer of all or a controlling portion of the franchisee
under the relevant Franchise Agreement.

GROWTH STRATEGY

         The Company's growth strategy is to increase cash flow and enhance
shareholder value by acquiring additional existing hotels that meet the
Company's investment criteria and by participating, through the Percentage
Leases, in revenue growth at its hotels. As discussed in "Management of
Hotels" above, the Company has entered into a letter of intent to lease
certain of the Company Hotels to Buckhead. The Company intends to form a
formal alliance with Buckhead, a proven hotel management company, in which
Host and Buckhead would be involved together in the direct acquisition of
assets. Under the proposed alliance, Buckhead would agree to pay, as part of
the acquisition and lease process, an amount equal to 2.25 times estimated
fee revenue earned by Buckhead during the first year after the acquisition of
a hotel property. Such amounts would be paid directly to the Company or its
affiliates and thereby reduce the Company's acquisition costs. Currently, the
Company is focusing its acquisition strategy primarily upon the acquisition
of additional limited service and full service hotels in California and the
Midwest, Southwest and Southeast areas of the United States.

         The Company will consider investments in hotel properties of the
types described above that meet one or more of the following criteria: (i)
properties in markets with projected growth potential; (ii) properties which
may be under-performing due to poor management, weak franchise affiliation or
a need for renovation; (iii) properties with relatively stable operating
histories; and (iv) properties with attractive purchase prices. Although the
Company presently anticipates that additional investments in hotel properties
will be made through the Company, additional investments also may be made
indirectly by other entities controlled by the Company. Such investments may
be financed, in whole or in part, from borrowings, the balance of the net
proceeds from future offerings, if any, subsequent issuances of common stock
or other securities or from cash flow. However, because the Company may, upon
election of REIT status, be required to distribute annually at least 95% of
its taxable net income to maintain REIT status under the Internal Revenue
Code, cash flow available for future investments may be limited.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

         Under various federal, state and local environmental laws,
ordinances, regulations and common law, a current or previous owner or
operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property.
Such laws and common law principles could also be used to impose liability
upon owners or operators of real

                                       7

<PAGE>

properties for release of asbestos containing materials ("ACMs") that cause
personal injury or other damage. The policy of the Company is to obtain a
Phase I environmental assessment report for each of the hotels acquired by
the Company, prepared by an independent environmental consultant.

         The Company is not aware of any environmental condition with respect
to the Company Hotels that could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations. No assurances can be
given, however, that (i) environmental assessments undertaken with respect to
the Company Hotels have revealed all potential environmental liabilities,
(ii) any prior owner or operator of the real property on which the Company
Hotels are located did not create any material environmental condition not
known to the Company, or (iii) a material environmental condition does not
otherwise exist as to any one or more Company Hotels. Pursuant to the
Percentage Leases, the Lessee has agreed to comply with applicable
environmental regulations. However, in the event that the Company is held
liable for costs and expenses in connection with a site clean-up or in
connection with ACMs, and the Company is unable to enforce or obtain
recoveries under the indemnity provisions of the Percentage Leases, such
costs and expenses could have a material effect on the Company's ability to
make distributions to its shareholders.

EMPLOYEES

         As of December 31, 1997, the Company had 4 full time employees and 1
part time employee.

COMPETITION

         The hotel industry is highly competitive. All of the Company Hotels
are located in developed areas and experience competition primarily from
other similarly priced hotels within their immediate vicinity. In addition,
each hotel competes with other hotel properties in its particular geographic
market. The number of competitive hotel properties in a particular market or
geographic area could have a material and adverse affect on the rental market
for the room units at each hotel and the rates which may be charged for such
room units. The Company Hotels must also compete for occupants with new
hotels in the area.

         In addition, when the Company seeks to acquire hotel properties, the
Company will be competing for investment opportunities with entities which
have substantially greater financial resources than the Company. Competition
may generally reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered
to the Company and increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking
to sell. Further, the Company anticipates that competition from entities
organized for purposes substantially similar to the Company's objectives will
increase significantly over time.

SEASONALITY OF THE HOTEL BUSINESS

         The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Generally, hotel revenues
are greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth
quarters of a calendar year. All of the Company Hotels typically reflect the
effects of this industry seasonality. This seasonality can be expected to
cause significant

                                       8

<PAGE>

quarterly fluctuations in the Company's lease revenues. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations --
Seasonality."

REGULATORY MATTERS

         GENERAL

         Hotel properties are subject to various laws, ordinances and
regulations, including regulations relating to recreational facilities, such
as swimming pools, activity centers and other common areas. Based on its
inspection and evaluation of the Company Hotels, the Company believes that
each Company Hotel has the necessary permits and approvals required to enable
the lessee of the particular hotel to operate and manage such hotel in the
manner contemplated by the applicable lease agreement.

         AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

         The Company Hotels must comply with Title III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act "ADA" to the extent that such properties are "public
accommodations" and/or "commercial facilities" as defined by the ADA. Under
the public accommodations provisions of the ADA, the Company as owner of the
Company Hotels, will be obligated to reasonably accommodate the patrons of
the hotel properties who have physical, mental or other disabilities. This
includes the obligation to remove architectural and communication barriers at
the Company Hotel when doing so is "readily achievable". In addition, under
the commercial facilities provisions of the ADA, the Company is obligated to
ensure that alterations to any hotel properties conform to the specific
requirements of the ADA implementing regulations. Noncompliance could result
in the imposition of fines, injunctive relief, and an award of damages and
attorneys' fees. The lessee generally is obligated to remedy any ADA
compliance matters pursuant to the Percentage Leases. However, if required
changes were to involve significant expenditures, the ability of the lessee
to pay rent could be adversely affected which in turn could adversely affect
the Company's ability to make distributions to its shareholders. Currently,
the Company believes that all Company Hotels are in compliance with the ADA
in all material respects.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

         The Company's principal executive offices are located at 6116 N.
Central Expressway, Suite 1313, Dallas, Texas. The Company leases
approximately 1,200 square feet for its corporate headquarters. The lease
term extends through December, 1999, at an annual rate of approximately
$16,000.00. The Company believes that the size of the corporate headquarters
is adequate for the Company's current needs. In addition, the Company owns
twelve hotel properties located in nine states and consisting of
approximately 922 rooms. Set forth in the following chart is certain
information relating to the Company Hotels.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
         SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

         The Company's Class A Common Stock trades and is reported on the
American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") under the symbol "HFD". The Class A Common
Stock began trading on April 22, 1996, the date of its initial public
offering. On January 31, 1997, Mr. Guy E. Hatfield, a principal stockholder
and director of the Company, converted 140,000 shares of the Class C Common
Stock of the Company into shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, on
September 25, 1997, Mr. Hatfield converted 140,000 shares of the Class B
Common Stock of the Company into shares of Class A Common Stock. See "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions". The shares of Class A Common Stock
issued by the Company pursuant to such conversions are "restricted
securities" under the Securities Act of 1933. After giving effect to the
above conversions, no shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock
remain issued and outstanding.

         The Company also has issued and outstanding two series of warrants
designated "Series A Warrants" and "Series B Warrants". The Series A Warrants
provide warrants to purchase 225,000 shares of Host Funding's Class A Common
Stock at $9.90 per share, and expire on February 2, 2000. The Series B
Warrants provide warrants to purchase 225,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock at $10.80 per share, and expire on February 2, 2001. There are
additional provisions in the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants that
allow certain limited registration rights and pari passu treatment upon the
occurrence of certain events, including, without limitation, stock splits,
mergers, reclassifications of stock, or a recapitalization of the Company. In
addition, the Series B Warrants include certain restrictions prohibiting
exercise of the warrants if the Company gives notice of a possible public
offering of the securities of the Company in which the net proceeds


                                       11

<PAGE>

to the Company are not less than $50 million. The prohibition against
exercise terminates on the earlier to occur of (i) sixty days after the
effective date of the public offering or (ii) February 2, 1999. On August 29,
1997, the Company gave notice to the holders of the Series B Warrants of a
possible public offering thereby imposing the foregoing restrictions on
exercise of the Series B Warrants.

         The following table shows the range of high and low bid prices of
the Company's Class A Common Stock for the years 1996 and 1997, as reported
through AMEX. These quotations represent prices between dealers without
retail markup, markdown or commissions, and may not necessarily represent

         As of March 24, 1998, there were approximately 1,264 shareholders
of record of the Company's Common Stock and the closing bid price was $6.125.

         During 1996, the Company declared dividends of $0.2275 per share on
August 1 and $0.2375 per share on November 1. During 1997, the Company
declared dividends of $0.24 per share on February 4, $0.24 per share on May
30, $0.24 per share on September 2, and $0.24 per share on December 12.

         The Company's ability to make dividend payments to its shareholders
is significantly dependent upon the Company's net cash flow from the
operations of the Company Hotels. The Company intends to continue its policy
of making quarterly dividend distributions to the Company's shareholders
based upon the Company's operating results.  No assurances can be given that
net cash flow from the Company's operations will be sufficient to enable the
Company to make future dividend payments comparable to prior quarterly
dividend distributions.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         On February 3, 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement with HMR
Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("HMR"), and Host Funding
Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Advisor"), whereby (i) HMR and
the Company agreed to restate and amend the

                                       13

<PAGE>

Acquisition Agreement between the parties (the "Acquisition Agreement") and
(ii) the Advisor and the Company agreed to terminate, effective January 31,
1997, the Advisory Agreement between the parties (the "Advisory Agreement"). The
Acquisition Agreement was also terminated by the Company effective September
4, 1997. In consideration for the termination of the Advisory Agreement and
the restatement and amendment of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company paid
the Advisor $30,000 in cash and issued 225,000 Series A Warrants (the "Series
A Warrants") and 225,000 Series B Warrants (the "Series B Warrants") to HMR.
See "Market for the Company's Common Equity and Related Shareholder Matters".

         The Company entered into Employment Agreements (the "Employment
Agreements") with William Birdsall, Chairman of the Board; Michael S.
McNulty, President; and Bona K. Allen, Chief Financial Officer, for a term of
three years from February 1997. The Employment Agreements provide for
aggregate base salaries of $291,000 with a minimum bonus of 15% up to a
maximum of 50%, based upon a prescribed formula in the Employment Agreements,
of base compensation in the first year. No bonuses were paid or accrued under
the Employment Agreements for the year ended December 31, 1997. Effective as
of January 1, 1998, Mr. Birdsall agreed to a voluntary reduction in salary
under his employment agreement to $4,500 per month through June 30, 1998. The
Employment Agreements also provide for base salary increases based upon
prescribed increases in the Company's asset size, however, the Company does
not anticipate any 1998 salary increases pursuant to the Employment
Agreements. The Employment Agreements are terminable by the Company, for
cause, upon thirty (30) days written notice, or upon death or disability,
with severance payments due the employees ranging from nothing to two years
of current base salary then in effect.

         The Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the Company was held on
May 21, 1997 in Dallas, Texas. At the Annual Meeting, the Stockholders
approved the Host Funding, Inc. 1997 Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan")
pursuant to which certain individuals may be granted awards for incentive
stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock awards, performance shares,
and incentive awards. No such awards were granted for the year ended December
31, 1997.

         On March 14, 1997, the Company acquired a 90 room Super 8 Hotel
located in Flagstaff, Arizona (the "Flagstaff Super 8") for a gross purchase
price of $5,125,000, excluding closing expenses. The Flagstaff Super 8 was
acquired by increasing the Company's initial credit facility from Credit
Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital, LLC ("First Boston") from $15,500,000
to $21,725,000 (the "Revised Credit Facility"). The Revised Credit Facility
is comprised of two separate credit facilities of $8,725,000 of which Host
Ventures is the principal obligor (the "Host Ventures Credit Facility") and
$13,000,000 of which CrossHost is the principal obligor (the "CrossHost
Credit Facility"). See "Liquidity and Capital Resources".

         On October 21, 1997, the Company completed the purchase of two
Country Hearth Inn properties (the "Country Hearth Inns") located in Auburn,
Indiana and Findlay, Ohio, consisting of 150 rooms for an aggregate purchase
price of $5,846,000. The Company purchased the Country Hearth Inns by forming
two special purpose, limited partnerships with Buckhead America Corporation,
a publicly-traded hotel company ("Buckhead"), of which the Company is the
beneficial owner of a 1% general partnership interest and approximately 80%
of the outstanding limited partnership interests in each limited partnership.
The limited partnerships paid the following consideration for the Country

                                       14

<PAGE>

Hearth Inns: $580,000 in cash, the issuance of 80,819 shares of the Class A
Common Stock of the Company having a fair market value on the date of
issuance of approximately $750,000, the execution and delivery to the sellers
by the limited partnerships of promissory notes in the aggregate amount of
$1,138,555 (the "Country Hearth Notes") and the assumption of existing
indebtedness by the limited partnerships in the aggregate amount of
$3,457,845, which indebtedness is currently held of record by La Salle
National Bank, as Trustee for the registered holders of Asset Securitization
Corporation, Series 1996-D-3 (the "La Salle Notes"). See "Liquidity and
Capital Resources".

         The Flagstaff Super 8 was acquired pursuant to the terms of the
Acquisition Agreement between the Company and HMR. Pursuant to the terms of
the Acquisition Agreement, the Company and HMR agreed that the acquisition
fee earned by HMR relating to the Flagstaff Super 8 was 16,000 shares of the
Class A Common Stock of the Company valued at $10 per share which was paid on
May 19, 1997. The Company recorded the acquisition fee on the Flagstaff Super
8 at $9.50 per share which was the last traded price of the Class A Common
Stock of the Company on the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") on March 14,
1997. The acquisition fee (based upon a value of $10 and $9.50 per share or
$160,000 and $152,000, respectively) represented approximately 3.1% and 3.0%,
respectively, of the gross purchase price totaling $5,125,000, excluding
closing expenses. In addition, Hotel Mortgage Resources Corporation ("HMRC")
received a loan origination fee of $84,907 relating to the financing provided
by First Boston for the acquisition of the Flagstaff Super 8.

         The Country Hearth Inns were also acquired pursuant to the terms of
the Acquisition Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition
Agreement, the Company and HMR agreed that the acquisition fee earned by HMR
relating to the Country Hearth Inns was 17,539 shares of the Class A Common
Stock of the Company valued at $10 per share and paid on January 7, 1998. The
Company recorded the acquisition fee on the Country Hearth Inns at $6.5625
per share which was the last traded price of the Class A Common Stock of the
Company on the AMEX on January 5, 1998. The acquisition fee (based upon a
value of $10 and $6.5625 per share or $175,390 and $115,000 respectively),
represented approximately 3.0% and 2.0%, respectively, of the gross purchase
price totaling $5,846,000, excluding closing expenses.

         Each of HMR and HMRC is a previous affiliate of Mr. Michael S.
McNulty, the president and a director of the Company. See "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions".

         In May, 1997 the Company was informed that the Sleep Inn property
located in Tallahassee, Florida (the "Tallahassee Sleep Inn") had certain
structural defects. The Company suspended operations at the Tallahassee Sleep
Inn and began negotiations with the previous owner to correct the defects. In
December, 1997 the Company executed a settlement with the insurance carrier
whereby the Company was paid approximately $210,000 in business interruption
insurance. The Company and the previous owner of the Tallahassee Sleep Inn
executed a lease in February, 1998 with a commencement date of May 1, 1998,
pursuant to which the previous owner of the Tallahassee Sleep Inn became the
lessee of the property and agreed to undertake, at its sole cost and expense,
the necessary repairs to make the property operational. The Company
anticipates the Tallahassee Sleep Inn property will be open for business in
the second quarter, 1998.

                                       15

<PAGE>

         As previously reported, the Company negotiated and entered into a
letter of intent during the second quarter of 1997 relating to the purchase
of four hotels (including franchises representing Holiday Inn, Courtyard by
Marriott, and Hilton) valued at approximately $50,000,000 and comprising over
800 rooms. Effective February 17, 1998, negotiations relating to the letter
of intent were terminated due to the inability of the parties to reach an
agreement economically feasible and acceptable to both parties.

         The Company, as a requirement under the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code") to elect REIT status, must have no more than five (5) shareholders,
who own no more than 50% of common stock, common stock equivalents, or other
forms of equity outstanding. The Company did not meet this requirement as of
December 31, 1997 and currently is subject to the corporate tax provisions of
the Code. The Company, however, is in a net operating loss position, and has
a net deferred tax asset under SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, that
has not been fully reserved. Therefore, the Company's decision not to elect
REIT qualification will not adversely affect the stockholders of the Company
in that the Company will have no taxable income for the 1997 tax year. Under
the Code, the Company is allowed an exemption until six months after the end
of the tax year for which the election is to be effective to meet the
requirement. Management of the Company intends to continue its efforts to
meet the Code requirements for REIT qualification in the future. No
assurance, however, can be given that REIT status will be achieved during
1998, which could result in the Company continuing to be taxed as a C
corporation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1997 AND NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1995:

         The Company did not acquire any assets until April 1, 1995. On that
date the four Super 8 hotels located in Miner, Missouri; Poplar Bluff,
Missouri; Rock Falls, Illinois; and Somerset, Kentucky were acquired by the
Company. Further, on April 22, 1996, the Company completed an initial public
stock offering of 500,000 common shares that raised net cash proceeds
totaling $4,500,000 (the "Stock Offering"), and simultaneously acquired a
Super 8 Motel located in San Diego, California. The foregoing five hotel
properties are referred to herein as the "Initial Hotels." Since the
acquisition of the Initial Hotels and the Stock Offering, the Company has
acquired seven additional hotel properties during the years 1996 and 1997.
See "Business-Business Development."

         Occupancy, average room rates, and revenue per available room of
66%, $47.62, and $33.60 for the Company Hotels for the year ended December
31, 1997 resulted in total sales, including room sales of approximately
$10,792,000.

         Lease Revenue, Related Party: Reduced to $0 in 1997 from $278,453 in
1996 and $806,670

                                       16

<PAGE>

in 1995. The reductions were the result of the termination of the related
party leases and Crossroads Hospitality Tenant Company, L.L.C. (an unrelated
party) ("Crossroads"), becoming lessee of the Company Hotels in April, 1996.
The reduction from 1995 to 1996 was the result of the related party leasing
the hotels for approximately three months in 1996, as opposed to nine months
in 1995.

         Lease Revenue: The 1997 amount of $3,679,355 reflects additional
hotel acquisitions and a full year of unrelated parties as lessees; the 1996
amount of $1,262,165 reflects a partial year (April through year end) of
unrelated party as lessee.

         Interest Income, Related Parties: The 1997 amount of $121,976
reflects interest on the independent directors notes and the Related Party
Note. The 1997 interest income related to the Related Party Note is lower
than 1996 due to the satisfaction of the Related Party Note effective
September, 1997. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

         Interest Expense, Depreciation & Amortization Expense, and Property
Taxes: These items were significantly higher in 1997 than 1996 and 1995 due
to the increase in the Company's hotel property portfolio through
acquisitions in 1997 and 1996.

         Depreciation expense, which is included in depreciation and
amortization, is calculated based upon the original historical cost of the
Initial Hotels and the acquisition value of the remaining Company Hotels.

         Administrative Expenses, Other: Pursuant to the termination of the
Advisory Agreement, the Company became self administered in January, 1997,
causing an increase in administrative expenses. See "Recent Developments"
above. Accordingly, the Company employed Messrs. Allen, McNulty and Birdsall
pursuant to the Employment Agreements described above. The Company also
incurred costs related to clerical and accounting related functions. In
April, 1997 the Company relocated its offices from La Jolla, California to
Dallas, Texas. The Company also incurred significant non-recurring costs that
management believes will not recur at 1997 levels in future periods.

         The following are items included in the $1,293,918 amount reflected
as Administrative Expenses-Other that had not been incurred in previous
periods. Salaries, employer taxes, health insurance: approximately $328,000;
rent, office supplies, telephone, postage, reproduction, meetings:
approximately $55,000; legal and due diligence costs associated with
evaluating potential acquisitions: approximately $270,000. Management
believes approximately $196,000 of these other expense amounts are
non-recurring amounts.

         The Company's Board of Directors has directed the Company to explore
alliances with public or private hotel management companies to reduce certain
overhead costs. The Company anticipates forming an alliance and becoming
externally advised, thus allowing the Company to terminate certain Employment
Agreements and enter into a reimbursement agreement, in which the advisor
would bear substantial overhead and acquisition costs. This arrangement will
substantially reduce costs to the Company.


                                       17

         Minority interest in Partnerships: Resulting from the Company's
beneficial ownership of approximately 80% of the limited partnership
interests and a 1% general partnership interest in the limited partnerships
which own the Country Hearth Inn Hotels.

         Amortization of unearned directors' compensation has been calculated
based upon the terms of the independent directors notes.

         Net loss per share and weighted average shares outstanding have
been calculated based upon the daily average of the number of shares
outstanding upon completion of the Stock Offering, total shares issued to the
independent directors, and total shares issued in subsequent acquisitions by
the Company, added to the AAG shares outstanding upon completion of the Stock
Offering, which shares of AAG are considered to have been outstanding from
the date of formation of Host Funding. The Company has no dilutive common
stock equivalents outstanding.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         CrossHost entered into a loan facility with First Boston in the
amount of $15,500,000 on September 13, 1996 (the "Initial Loan Facility") and
immediately borrowed the entire funds available under the Initial Loan
Facility. The Initial Loan Facility was payable interest only, monthly, at
the LIBOR Rate plus 304.5 basis points (LIBOR Rate was 5.53906% as of
December 31, 1996), with a maturity date of October 1, 1997 at which time all
unpaid interest plus principal was due.

         On March 14, 1997, CrossHost entered into the CrossHost Loan
Facility totaling $13,000,000 and Host Ventures entered into the Host
Ventures Loan Facility totaling $8,725,000 whereby the Initial Credit
Facility was repaid totaling $15,500,000 and the Flagstaff Super 8 was
acquired for approximately $5,125,000. In addition, closing costs and other
expenses of the CrossHost and Host Ventures Loan Facilities and of the
Flagstaff Super 8 were incurred totaling approximately $757,000. The
remaining loan proceeds of approximately $343,000 were provided to the
Company for working capital.
   
         The CrossHost Loan Facility is payable over twenty years in equal
monthly installments of $120,838, including interest at a fixed rate of 9.46%
per annum (the "Base Interest Rate") over the first ten years, with an
increased fixed monthly payment the second ten years that fully amortizes
remaining principal plus interest at an interest rate equal to the greater of
2% over the Base Interest Rate or 2% over the then-existing ten year U.S.
Treasury Note rate, with a due date in March 2017. The Host Ventures Loan
Facility is payable interest only, monthly, at the LIBOR Rate plus 350 basis
points (LIBOR Rate was 5.69% as of March 1, 1998), with a maturity date of
April 1, 1999, at which time all unpaid interest plus principal are due.
    
         The Host Ventures Loan Facility is secured by the Company Properties
located in Flagstaff, Arizona, Sarasota, Florida and Ocean Springs,
Mississippi and the CrossHost Loan Facility is secured by the remaining
Company Properties, excluding the two Country Hearth Inns. The two loans are
not cross-defaulted or cross-collaterialized. Host Funding signed an
Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement (the "Indemnity Agreement") relating to both
the Host Ventures Loan Facility and the CrossHost Loan Facility. The
Indemnity Agreement requires Host Funding (i) to indemnify First Boston in
the event

                                       18

<PAGE>

either CrossHost or Host Ventures is in breach of the non-personal liability
"carve-outs" typically found in securitized financing documentation; and (ii)
to guaranty to First Boston full payment and performance of the obligations
of CrossHost and Host Ventures in the event either entity enters into
bankruptcy proceedings.

         The La Salle Notes assumed by the Company in connection with the
acquisition of the Country Hearth Inns are each dated July 31, 1996 and
payable over twenty years in equal monthly installments of $17,405 (Findlay,
Ohio) and $18,402 (Auburn, Indiana). Each monthly installment includes
interest at an initial fixed rate of 10.78% per annum during the first ten
years, with an increased interest rate during the second ten years equal to
the greater of the initial interest rate plus two percent (2%) or the then
existing treasury bill rate plus two percent (2%). The outstanding principal
balance and all accrued, but unpaid interest on the La Salle Notes is due and
payable on August 11, 2016. Each of the La Salle Notes is secured by the
applicable Country Hearth Inn. The La Salle Notes are not
cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted.

         Each of the Country Hearth Notes executed in connection with the
acquisition of the Country Hearth Inns bears interest at the rate of the Wall
Street Journal Prime Rate plus one percent (1%). No payments are required
under the Country Hearth Notes until April 1, 1998, on which date all
outstanding principal and accrued interest is due and payable. The Company,
on behalf of the limited partnerships, is currently in negotiation with the
holders of the Country Hearth Notes to extend the maturity of such notes. The
Company pledged an aggregate of 90,000 shares (51,660 shares for Findlay,
Ohio and 38,348 shares for Auburn, Indiana) of the Class B Common Stock of
the Company to secure payment of the Country Hearth Notes. The Country Hearth
Notes are not cross-collaterized or cross-defaulted. The Company executed a
corporate guaranty pursuant to which the Company guarantees the performance
of the obligations of each of the limited partnerships under the Country
Hearth Notes.

         On June 19, 1997, the Company executed a promissory note payable to
Blacor, Inc. ("Blacor") in the original principal amount of $70,000 (the
"Original Blacor Note"). On December 30, 1997, the Original Blacor Note was
canceled and replaced by a new promissory note in the original principal
amount of $86,595. Proceeds from the note were used for general operating
purposes. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions: Other Related
Party Notes."

         On December 30, 1997, the Company also executed a promissory note
payable to Guy and Dorothy Hatfield in the original principal amount of
$100,000 (the "Hatfield Note"). Proceeds from the note were used for general
operating purposes. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions: Other
Related Party Notes."

         The terms of the leases on the Company Hotels (the "Company Hotel
Leases") are for a period of fifteen (15) years from the date of acquisition
of each property (the "Commencement Date"). The Company Hotel Leases have
combined total annual base rentals of $3,756,400, plus percentage rentals
ranging from 30% to 35% of year to date revenues less varying breakeven
thresholds adjusted annually by defined percentages for each hotel. During
the first four years after the Commencement Date, the lessee is entitled to
accumulate a credit of 50% of base rent paid in excess of hotel cash flow, if
any, as defined in the Company Hotel Leases, which may be applied towards
future percentage rentals that may become due (the "Negative Base Rent").
Should no future percentage rental be due under the Company Hotel Leases
during the lease terms, the Negative Base Rent will expire. No Negative Base

                                       19

<PAGE>


Rent credit was outstanding as of December 31, 1997. The Company Hotel Leases
generally require the lessee to pay all operating expenses of the properties,
including maintenance and insurance, while the Company is responsible for
property taxes. In addition, the Company is required to set aside in a
replacement reserve account, amounts from 4% to 6% of gross room revenues to
be used for capital expenditures which generally must be jointly approved by
the Company and lessee. Through December 31, 1997, the total amount due under
this provision equals approximately $440,743, $255,920 of which has been
funded at December 31, 1997. Further, should the Company decide to sell any
of the properties leased to Crossroads under the Company Hotel Leases,
Crossroads will be provided a 30 day right of first refusal to purchase such
property at the price offered the Company by the third party. In addition,
should Crossroads choose not to exercise their right of first refusal to
acquire the properties and should the Company elect to terminate the lease,
upon the Company's, Crossroads' and the buyer's consent, Crossroads may be
entitled to some portion of the sale proceeds based on a formula as provided
in the Company Hotel Leases. In addition, the Company was required to provide
a long-term advance in varying amounts not exceeding $30,000 per hotel
property to Crossroads, subject to proration adjustments, to be used for
working capital purposes which is due back to the Company at the end of the
term of the applicable Company Hotel Lease.

     The Company has addressed the "Year 2000 Problem" in which certain
electronic systems may be affected by the turn of the millenium.  Management
has determined that the Company's accounting software is Year 2000 compliant.
Management is evaluating the level of compliance of other systems utilized by
the Company, but does not anticipate a material effect on its financial
condition or results of operations.

         The Company has no committed additional sources of external
liquidity available, therefore the Company will rely on its internal cash
flow to meet its liquidity needs. The Company's principal source of cash to
meet its cash requirements, including distributions to shareholders, is its
share of the Company's cash flow from the Company Hotel Leases. Although, the
obligations of Crossroads, as lessee, under the Company Hotels leased by
Crossroads are guaranteed in part by Crossroads Hospitality Company, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (a subsidiary of Interstate Hotels, Inc.,
a Delaware Corporation and parent company of Crossroads), the ability of
Crossroads to make lease payments under the Company Hotel Leases, and
therefore the Company's liquidity, including its ability to make
distributions to shareholders, is dependent on the ability of Crossroads to
generate sufficient cash flow from such Company Hotels. The following table
sets forth certain financial information for Crossroads Hospitality Company,
LLC, as of and for the year ended December 31, 1997.

<TABLE>
<S>                                         <C>
                  Total Assets              $1,064,004

                  Partners' Equity          $   50,535

                  Net Income                $   85,562
</TABLE>

         Other than debt service on the Company's loan facilities and notes,
the capital expenditures required under the Company Hotel Leases or the
Company's loan facilities, property taxes on the Company Hotels, obligations
under employment agreements, other administrative expenses and the Internal
Revenue Service tax requirements (the "Code") to make distributions to
shareholders to achieve or maintain the Company's REIT status, the Company is
not aware of any demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will
result or are likely to result in a change in the Company's liquidity.

         The Company intends to make additional investments in hotel
properties and may incur

                                       20

<PAGE>

indebtedness to make such investments or to meet distribution requirements
imposed on a REIT under the Code to the extent that working capital and cash
flow from the Company's investments are insufficient to make such
distributions. The Company will invest in additional hotel properties only as
suitable opportunities arise, and the Company will not undertake investments
unless adequate sources of financing are available. Based upon REIT
distribution requirements, the Company expects that future investments in
hotel properties will be financed, in whole or in part, with common stock,
proceeds from additional issuances of common stock, or from the issuance of
other debt or equity securities. The Company in the future may seek to obtain
a line of credit or a permanent credit facility, negotiate additional credit
facilities, or issue corporate debt instruments, all in compliance with its
charter restrictions. Any debt incurred or issued by the Company may be
secured or unsecured, long-term or short-term, charge a fixed or variable
interest rate and may be subject to such other terms as the Board of
Directors of the Company deems reasonably prudent.

INFLATION

         Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room
rates quickly. Competitive pressures may, however, limit the ability of the
lessees and operators of the Company Hotels to raise room rates in the face
of inflation.

SEASONALITY

         Hotel operations are generally seasonal in nature based upon
geographic locations. This seasonality can be expected to cause fluctuations
in the Company's quarterly lease revenue to the extent that it receives
percentage rent.

         The Compensation Committee of the Company consists of Don W.
Cockroft, Charles R. Dunn, and Guy E. Hatfield, each of whom is a director
and non-employee of the Company. No member of the Compensation Committee was
an executive officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at

SECTION 16-(a) COMPLIANCE
    
   
         Section 16-(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's officers
and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and change in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"). Officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%)
stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with
copies of all Section 16-(a) forms they file. Based solely on its review of
the copies of such forms received by it, or written representation from
certain reporting persons that no Forms 3, 4 or 5 were required for those
persons, the Company believes that, from January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997,
all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors, and greater
than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners were timely met.

Amendment to Advisory Agreement between the parties dated effective as of
June 12, 1996 (as amended, the "Advisory Agreement"). The purpose and effect
of the termination of the Advisory Agreement was to eliminate the status of

<PAGE>

Agreement provided for the payment by the Company of acquisition fees on
hotel properties submitted by HMR and acquired by the Company. The
Acquisition Agreement was terminated by the Company effective September 4,
1997; provided, that the Company remains obligated to pay commissions to HMR
pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement for certain properties submitted to the
Company prior to termination of the Acquisition Agreement, if and only if,
the Company closes the purchase of such properties within one year from the
date of such termination.

         In consideration for the termination of the Advisory Agreement and
the restatement and amendment of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company paid
the Advisor $30,000 in cash, and issued Series A Warrants and Series B
Warrants to HMR to purchase a total of 450,000 shares of the Class A Common
Stock of the Company (divided 225,000 shares to the Series A Warrants and

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
     Host Funding, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Host Funding, 
Inc. and subsidiaries (the ""Company'') as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and 
the related combined statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash 
flows for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the nine months ended 
December 31, 1995 and the financial statement schedule included in the index 
of this Form 10-K.  These financial statements and schedule are the 
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position 
of Host Funding, Inc. at December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and the 
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 
1997 and December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended December 31, 1995, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our 
opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered 
in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, 
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be 
included therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1:  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         ORGANIZATION:

         Host Funding, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Host Funding" or the
         "Company"), was initially formed on December 22, 1994, and structured
         to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"). The principal
         business of the Company is to acquire and then lease limited service
         and full hotels/motels. The Company owned 12 limited service hotels at
         December 31, 1997.  Host Funding was inactive from inception,
         December 22, 1994 to March 31, 1995. Host Funding's fiscal year end is
         December 31.

         On April 1, 1995, Host Funding and All American Group, Ltd. a Delaware
         limited partnership ("AAG"), entered into a Contribution and Assumption
         Agreement (the "Contribution and Assumption Agreement"). Under the
         Contribution and Assumption Agreement, AAG transferred, assigned and
         conveyed to Host Funding all of the real property and Host Funding
         agreed to assume stock issuance costs payable and all real property
         debt, at historical cost, of four (4) Super 8 motels located and doing
         business in Somerset, Kentucky; Miner, Missouri; Poplar Bluff,
         Missouri; and Rock Falls, Illinois. In addition, AAG contributed a note
         receivable (the "Related Party Note") ($1,805,675). In accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles, the Related Party Note was
         offset against shareholder's equity as the Related Party Note was
         originally issued for equity in AAG. Host Funding issued 100 shares of
         common stock as consideration to AAG. As of December 31, 1995, all of
         the outstanding stock of Host Funding was owned by AAG.

         On April 22, 1996, Host Funding raised additional capital through an
         initial public offering of Class A common stock (the "Stock Offering").
         Host Funding used the capital raised from the Stock Offering to pay
         down long-term debt, to pay expenses of the formation of Host Funding,
         and for working capital purposes. Further, on April 22, 1996, Host
         Funding acquired for a total purchase price of $2,810,000, certain
         assets of Mission Bay Super 8, Ltd., a California limited partnership,
         the owner of a 117 room Super 8 motel located in San Diego, California,
         pursuant to an asset acquisition agreement (the "Mission Bay
         Acquisition Agreement"). Host Funding exchanged 252,049 shares of
         common stock at a stated value of $10.00 per share ($2,520,490) plus
         cash for a reserve for dissenters rights and fractional share
         settlements of approximately $290,000. See note 6. The five Super 8
         Hotels located in Somerset, Kentucky; Miner, Missouri; Poplar Bluff,
         Missouri; Rock Falls Illinois and San Diego, California hereinafter
         shall be referred to as the "Initial Hotels".

         Upon completion of the Stock Offering and the Mission Bay Acquisition
         Agreement, Host Funding issued additional Class A, B and C common
         shares to AAG in exchange for 100 initial shares held by AAG based upon
         appraised values of Host Funding's assets net of liabilities prior to
         the Stock Offering. The common shares issued upon completion of the

                                       F-8
<PAGE>

         Stock Offering include 410,000 Class A, 140,000 Class B and 140,000
         Class C, which number of shares were determined based upon the net
         appraised value of assets net of liabilities of $6,900,000 or $10.00
         per share. The Class B and C shares included certain restrictions as to
         the future payment of dividends and were convertible to Class A common
         shares at certain times and under certain circumstances as defined in
         the charter. The Class C common shares converted into Class A common
         shares effective January 1, 1997. The Class B common shares were
         redeemed for $140,000 Class A common shares pursuant to an Exchange and
         Note Prepayment Agreement. See note 5.

         On September 5, 1996, Host Funding formed CrossHost, Inc., a Maryland
         Corporation ("CrossHost"), as a wholly-owned, special purpose, REIT
         qualified subsidiary. Upon formation, CrossHost acquired four Sleep Inn
         Hotels located in Destin, Sarasota, and Tallahassee, Florida and Ocean
         Springs, Mississippi, pursuant to an acquisition and credit facility in
         the amount of $15,500,000 (the "Initial Loan Facility") and provided by
         Credit Suisse First Boston Capital, L.L.C. ("First Boston"). The
         Initial Loan Facility was payable interest only, monthly, at the LIBOR
         Rate plus 304.5 basis points with a maturity date of October 21, 1997.
         See notes 3,6, and 7.

         On March 5, 1997, Host Funding formed Host Ventures, Inc., a Maryland
         corporation ("Host Ventures"), as a wholly-owned, special purpose
         subsidiary of Host Funding. On March 14, 1997, CrossHost and Host
         Ventures entered into the CrossHost Loan Facility totaling $13,000,000
         and the Host Ventures Loan Facility totaling $8,725,000 whereby the
         Initial Credit Facility was repaid totaling $15,500,000 and a 90 room
         Super 8 motel in Flagstaff Arizona (the "Flagstaff Super 8") was
         purchased. Additionally, on March 14, 1997 CrossHost transferred to
         Host Ventures the Sleep Inn Hotels owned by CrossHost and located in
         Ocean Springs, Mississippi and Sarasota, Florida.

         The CrossHost Loan Facility is payable over twenty years in equal
         monthly installments of $120,838, including interest at a fixed rate of
         9.46% per annum (the "Base Interest Rate") over the first ten years,
         with an increased fixed monthly payment the second ten years that fully
         amortizes remaining principal plus interest at an interest rate equal
         to the greater of 2% over the Base Interest Rate or 2% over the
         then-existing ten year U.S. Treasury Note rate, with a due date in
         March 2017.

         The Host Ventures Loan Facility is payable interest only, monthly at
         the LIBOR Rate plus 350 basis points (LIBOR Rate was 5.69141% as of
         March 1, 1998), with a maturity date of April 1, 1999, at which time
         all unpaid interest plus principal are due.

         Effective September 17, 1997 the Company entered into an Exchange and
         Note Prepayment Agreement whereby Guy and Dorothy Hatfield and All
         American Group satisfied that certain Promissory Note (the "Related
         Party Note") dated April 1, 1995 payable to Host Funding in the
         principal amount of $1,805,675. See Note 5.

         On October 21, 1997, the Company purchased from Findlay Equity
         Partners, an Ohio general partnership, a Country Hearth Inn (the
         "Findlay Country Hearth") located in Findlay, Ohio and from Auburn
         Equity Partners, an Indiana general partnership, a Country 

                                      F-9

<PAGE>

         Hearth Inn (the "Auburn Country Hearth") located in Auburn, Indiana 
         (collectively, the "Country Hearth Inns") for an aggregate of 
         approximately 150 rooms, which increases the Company's real estate 
         portfolio to twelve hotel properties containing approximately 921 
         rooms. The Company completed the purchase of the Country Hearth Inns 
         by forming two separate, special purpose limited partnerships with 
         Buckhead America Corporation, a publicly-traded hotel company 
         ("Buckhead"). Wholly owned subsidiaries of Host Funding (Host Findlay 
         G.P., Inc and Host Auburn G.P., Inc) own 1% of the respective limited 
         partnerships and BacHost, L.L.C. (BacHost) owns 99% of each limited 
         partnership. Host Funding owns 81% of BacHost and Buckhead owns 19% of
         Bachost. Each limited partnership has leased its respective Country 
         Hearth Inn to Buckhead pursuant to a separate percentage lease 
         agreement (collectively, the "Country Hearth Leases").  Buckhead also 
         manages the hotel properties and holds the franchise for each of the 
         Country Hearth Inns outside of the limited partnerships (collectively,
         the "Country Hearth Franchise Agreements").

         Unless stated otherwise, the hotel properties owned by the subsidiaries
         of the Company are herein referred to as the "Company Hotels".

         Host Funding is listed on the American Stock Exchange.

         using primarily straight-line methods over useful lives ranging from 3
         to 7 years from the original historical date of acquisition.

         Host Funding periodically evaluates the carrying value of its real 
         estate properties to determine if circumstances exist indicating an 
         impairment in the carrying value. If facts or circumstances support 
         the possibility of impairment, the Company will prepare a projection of
         undiscounted future cash flows from each individual property. In cases
         when the Company does not expect to recover the carrying value, the
         Company recognizes an impairment loss. No impairment has occurred as
         of December 31, 1997, nor has impairment been required to be recorded 
         upon implementation in 1997 of Statement of Financial Accounting 
         Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived 
         Assets and for Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and in banks plus
         all short-term investments with a maturity, at the date of purchase, of
         three months or less.

         RESTRICTED CASH

         Restricted cash represents cash deposited in escrow accounts under
         contractual agreements for property taxes and capital improvements that
         are restricted as to usage.

         LOAN COMMITMENT FEES

         The loan commitment fees are amortized over the terms of the loans
         using the straight-line method which approximates the effective
         interest rate method. Accumulated amortization of loan fees totaled
         $568,000 and $195,000 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

         FRANCHISE FEES

         Franchise fees are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
         fifteen (15) year life of the franchise agreements. Accumulated
         amortization of franchise fees totaled $10,240 and $1,750 as of
         December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

         REVENUES

         Host Funding recognizes lease revenue on an accrual basis over the
         terms of the lease agreement.

         LOSS PER SHARE
         
         The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
         128 ("SFAS 128"), Earnings Per Share ("EPS") beginning with the 
         Company's fourth quarter of 1997.  SFAS 128 requires basic EPS to be 
         computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the 
         weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period 
         and diluted EPS to reflect the potential dilution that could occur if 
         securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or 
         converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common 
         stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.  All prior 
         period EPS data has been restated to conform to the provision of this 
         statement.  There is no difference between basic and diluted EPS, 
         therefore, no reconciliation of these amounts is needed.
         
         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

         The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by
         available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.
         However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data
         and develop the related estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the
         estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the
         amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial
         instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
         methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
         amounts.

                                      F-11
<PAGE>
         Rent Receivable - Crossroads, due from related parties, long-term
         advances to Crossroads, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and
         accounts payable are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate
         their fair value.

         The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value as the
         related interest rate is variable and approximates market rates.

         USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

         INCOME TAXES

         The primary components of the Company's deferred income tax 
         liabilities and assets as of December 31, 1997 were as follows:

<TABLE>
                                                     1997
<S>                                               <C>
         Deferred tax liabilities:
            Depreciation                           $284,000
         
         
         Total deferred tax liabilities            $284,000
            Accrued expenses                       $109,000
            Net operating loss                     $499,000
         
         Total deferred tax assets                 $608,000
         
         Net deferred tax asset                    $324,000
         Valuation allowance                      $(324,000)
</TABLE>

         At December 31, 1997 the Company had approximately $1,249,000 of net 
         operating loss carryforwards, all of which will expire on December 
         31, 2012.

         The valuation allowance for the net deferred tax asset was $324,000 
         as of December 31, 1997.  In assessing the realizability of a 
         deferred tax asset, management considers whether it is more likely 
         than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not 
         be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is 
         dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the 
         periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  
         Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for 
         future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets 
         are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the 
         Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, 
         net of the existing valuation allowance at December 31, 1997.

         The Company, as a requirement under the Internal Revenue Code (the 
         ("Code") to elect REIT status, must have no more than five (5) 
         shareholders, who own no more than 50% of the common stock, common 
         stock equivalents, or other forms of equity outstanding of the 
         Company. The Company had expected to make an election to be treated 
         as a REIT under the provisions of the Code beginning with the 1996 
         year.  As a result, the Company would not be subject to federal 
         income tax on its taxable income at corporate rates to the extent it 
         distributes annually 95% of its taxable income to its shareholders 
         and complies with certain other requirements.  The Company did not 
         satisfy the REIT shareholder requirement as of June 30, 1997, and 
         therefore, did not elect to qualify as a REIT during the 1996 tax 
         year and was subject to the corporate tax provisions. However at 
         that date, the Company was in a net operating loss position, and 
         has a net deferred tax asset under SFAS 109, Accounting for Income 
         Taxes, that has been fully reserved. The Company's decision not to 
         elect REIT qualification will not adversely affect the stockholders 
         of the Company in that the Company will have no taxable income for 
         the 1997 tax year. The Company plans to continue its efforts to 
         qualify for REIT status effective for the 1998 tax year.

         PENDING ADOPTION OF AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT

         In June 1997, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, 
         "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130").  SFAS 130 requires that 
         an enterprise classify items of other comprehensive income by their 
         nature in a financial statement and display the accumulated balance of 
         other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and 
         additional paid-in-capital in the equity section of a statement of 
         financial position.  SFAS 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning 
         after December 15, 1997.  Reclassification of financial statements for 
         earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is required.  The 
         Company plans to adopt SFAS 130 for the year ended December 31, 1998.
         
         In June 1997, the FASB also issued SFAS no. 131 ("SFAS 131"), 
         "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." 
         SFAS 131 specifies revised guidelines for determining an entity's 
         operating segments and the type and level of financial information to 
         be disclosed.  SFAS 131 changes current practice by establishing a new 
         framework on which to base segment reporting, including the 
         determining of a segment and the financial information to be disclosed 
         for each segment, referring to as the "management" approach.  The 
         management approach requires that management identify "operating 
         segments" based on the way that management disaggregates the entity 
         for making internal operating decisions. SFAS 131 is effective for 
         fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1997, and requires 
         restatement of information for earlier periods.  Management is 
         determining the segments to be disclosed and intends to adopt the 
         statement for the year ended December 31, 1998.

         SHORT TERM DEBT/NOTES PAYABLE:

         In June, 1997 the Company entered into a note payable to Blacor, Inc.
         (an affiliate of Michael McNulty, President of Host Funding). The
         December 31, 1997 balance is $86,600, the note has an amended maturity
         date of May 1998 and accrues interest at 12%.

         In December, 1997 the Company entered into a note payable to Guy and
         Dorothy Hatfield. The December 31, 1997 outstanding balance is
         $100,000, the note accrues interest at 12%, and is due in May, 1998.

         In October, 1997 B-H Findlay L.P. ("B-H Findlay") and B-H Auburn, L.P.
         ("B-H Auburn") entered into notes payable to the sellers of the Country
         Hearth Inn located in Findlay, Ohio and the Country Hearth Inn located
         in Auburn, Indiana, respectively (collectively, the "Country Hearth
         Notes"). The notes have December 31, 1997 outstanding balances in the
         amounts of $651,111 and $487,442 respectively. The Company is the
         beneficial owner of 81% of both B-H Findlay and B-H Auburn. Interest
         accrual commences on January 1, 1998 at the rate of the Wall Street
         Journal Prime Rate plus 1% per annum. No payments are due under the
         Country Hearth Notes until April 1, 1998, at which time all outstanding
         principal and interest balances are due. The Company, on behalf 
         of the limited partnerships, is currently in negotiation with the 
         holders of the Country Hearth Notes to extend the maturity date of such
         notes. The Company pledged an aggregate of 90,000 shares (51,660 
         shares for Findlay, Ohio and 38,348 shares for Auburn, Indiana) of 
         the Class B Common Stock of the Company to secure payment of the 
         Country Hearth Notes. In addition, the Company executed a corporate
         guaranty pursuant to which the Company guarantees the performance 
         of the obligations of each of the limited partnerships under the 
         Country Hearth Notes. 

         In October, 1997 B-H Findlay and B-H Auburn each executed notes payable
         to Buckhead America Corporation ("Buckhead") with December 31, 1997
         balances of $10,000 each. These notes accrue interest at the rate of 8%
         per annum; no payments are due until April 1, 1998, at which time all
         outstanding interest and principal are due. The company is currently in
         negotiation with Buckhead to extend the maturity of such note.

NOTE 4.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

         Host Funding is authorized to issue 55,000,000 shares of common stock,
         consisting of 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, $.01 par value
         per share, and 4,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $.01 par value
         per share and 1,000,000 shares of Class C common stock, $.01 par value
         per share.

         Upon consummation of the Stock Offering and Mission Bay Acquisition
         Agreement, Host Funding sold to each independent director then in
         office 10,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price per share equal
         to $10 per share. The purchase price ($300,000) was paid through the

         the Company's acquisition of hotel properties and allowed cancellation

NOTE 6.  ACQUISITIONS

         The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared
         assuming that the acquisition of Mission Bay and the Acquired Hotels
         has occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. Permitted pro
         forma adjustments include only the effects of events directly
         attributable to a transaction that are factually supportable and
         expected to have continuing impact. Pro forma adjustments reflecting
         anticipated "efficiencies" in operations resulting from a transaction
         are, under most circumstances, not permitted. As a result of the
         limitations imposed with regard to the types of permitted pro forma
         adjustments, Host Funding believes that this unaudited pro forma
         information is not indicative of future results of operations, not the
         results of historical operations had the acquisition of Mission Bay and
         the Acquired Properties been consummated as of the assumed dates.

NOTE 7.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         REIT STATUS:

         Host Funding, as a requirement under the Code to elect REIT status,
         must have no more than five (5) shareholders, own no more than 50% of
         the common stock, common stock equivalents, or other forms of equity
         outstanding. Host Funding has not met this requirement as of December
         31, 1997. Under the Code, Host Funding is allowed a six month exemption
         after the tax year in which the election is to be effective to meet the
         requirement. While management at Host Funding intends to meet the Code
         requirements, no assurance can be given that REIT status will be
         maintained, which could preclude Host Funding from electing REIT status
         in the future.

         PERCENTAGE LEASE AGREEMENTS:

         The Company Hotels are leased by separate lease agreements (the
         "Percentage Leases"). Excluding the two Country Hearth Inns, all of the
         Company Hotels are leased to Crossroads Hospitality Tenant Company, LLC
         ("Crossroads") as lessee, and are further subject to Master Agreements
         among the Company, Crossroads and Crossroads Hospitality Company, LLC
         ("Crossroads Hospitality"). 75% of Crossroads' voting interest are
         owned by 

                                      F-18


<PAGE>

         Crossroads Hospitality; each of Crossroads and Crossroads hospitality
         is controlled by Interstate Hotels Corporation, a publicly held, 
         nation wide operator and manager of hotel properties. The Country
         Hearth Inns are managed and leased by Buckhead America Corporation, as
         lessee, pursuant to separate lease agreements.

         Each Percentage Lease has an initial term of not less than fifteen
         years, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain
         contingencies. The lessees are required to pay base and percentage
         rents and are entitled to all profits from the operations of the
         Company Hotels after the payment of certain specified operating
         expenses. The Company is required to set aside replacement reserve
         amounts of 4% to 6% of gross room revenues to be used for capital
         expenditures which generally must be jointly approved by the Company
         and the lessee. Through December 31, 1997, the total amount due under
         this provision equals approximately $440,000, $256,000 of which
         has been funded at December 31, 1997.

         FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS:

         Host Funding has been granted franchise license agreements from Super 8
         and Sleep Inns for terms expiring in 2005 and 2011, respectively.
         Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Host Funding is required to pay
         royalty fees and advertising fees of 5% to 4% and 3% to 1.3%,
         respectively, and reservation fees due under the Sleep Inn agreements
         of 1.75%, of gross room revenue. The responsibility for payment of the
         fees has been assigned to Crossroads under the Combined Leases.

         TERMINATION OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT, AMENDMENT OF ACQUISITION AGREEMENT 
         AND ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS:

         On February 3, 1997, Host Funding entered into an Agreement with the
         Acquisition Company and the Advisor whereby the Acquisition Company and
         Host Funding agreed to amend the Acquisition Agreement and the Advisor
         and Host Funding terminated the Advisory Agreement (see note 5).

         As compensation to the Acquisition Company for amending the Acquisition
         Agreement allowing a thirty (30) day cancellation, Host Funding has
         agreed to issue 225,000 Series A Warrants (the "Series A Warrants") and
         225,000 Series B Warrants (the "Series B Warrants") to the Acquisition
         Company.

         The Series A Warrants provide warrants to purchase 225,000 shares of
         Host Funding's Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, at
         $9.90 per share, and expire on February 2, 2000. There are additional
         provisions in the Series A Warrants that allow pari passu treatment
         upon recapitalization of Host Funding.

         The Series B Warrants provide warrants to purchase 225,000 shares of
         Host Funding's Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, at
         $10.80 per share, and expire on February 2, 2001. There are additional
         provisions in the Series B Warrants that allow pari passu 

                                      F-19

<PAGE>

         treatment upon recapitalization of Host Funding and certain 
         restrictions with the first twenty-four months of issuance as to the 
         price allowed upon exercise of the Series B Warrants based upon 
         consummation of a public offering in which proceeds to Host Funding 
         are not less than $50 million.

         EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS:

         Host Funding has entered into Employment Agreements (the "Employment
         Agreements") with William Birdsall, Chairman of the Board; Michael S.
         McNulty, President; and Bona K. Allen, Chief Financial Officer, for a
         term of three years from February 1997. The Employment Agreements
         provide for base salaries of $291,000 with a minimum bonus of 15% up to
         a maximum of 50%, based upon a prescribed formula in the Employment
         Agreements, of base compensation in the first year. The Employment
         Agreements also provide for base salary increases based upon prescribed
         increases in Host Funding's asset size. The Employment Agreements are
         terminable by Host Funding, for cause, upon thirty (30) days written
         notice, or upon death or disability, with severance payments due
         employees ranging from nothing or two years of current base salary then
         in effect.

         HOST FUNDING, INC. 1997 INCENTIVE PLAN:

         At the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of Host Funding, Inc., the
         Stockholders approved the Host Funding, Inc. 1997 Incentive Plan (the
         "1997 Plan") pursuant to which certain individuals, including officers
         and directors of the Company, may be granted awards for incentive stock
         options, non-statutory stock options, stock awards, performance shares
         and incentive awards. No such awards have been awarded for the year
         ended December 31, 1997.

         REPAIRS TO SLEEP INN PROPERTIES LOCATED IN SARASOTA AND DESTIN, FLORIDA

         The Company is evaluating certain required repairs to the Sleep Inn
         properties located in Sarasota and Destin, Florida. The cost of these
         repairs has not been determined, but the Company does not anticipate
         any reduction in the valuation of these properties. The Company has
         received a notice of potential default relating to these repairs from
         the franchiser and expects to achieve compliance with the Franchise
         Agreements as repairs are completed.

         YEAR 2000 ISSUE

         The Company has addressed the "Year 2000 Problem", in which certain
         electronic systems may be affected by the turn of the millenium.
         Management has determined that the company's accounting software is
         Year 2000 compliant. Management is evaluating the level of compliance
         of other systems utilized by the Company, but does not anticipate a 
         material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

         NOTE 8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
         
         TERMINATION OF CROSSROADS AS LESSEE; LETTER OF INTENT TO SELL 
         LEASING/MANAGEMENT RIGHTS TO BUCKHEAD
         
         The Company has agreed with Crossroads to terminate, during the 
         second quarter of 1998, all of the lease agreements, including the 
         Master Agreements, relating to Company Hotels leased by Crossroads.
         
         The Company has entered into a letter of intent whereby, upon 
         termination of the lease agreements with Crossroads, the Company 
         and Buckhead will enter into new lease agreements or management 
         agreements with respect to all of the Company Hotels currently 
         leased to Crossroads.  The Company anticipates that the new lease 
         agreements will contain substantially the same terms as the current 
         lease agreements with Crossroads.  Buckhead will pay the Company 
         approximately $900,000 in cash and restricted Buckhead stock for 
         the right to lease or manage the Company hotels previously leased 
         by Crossroads.  The payment by Buckhead to the Company is net of 
         the termination costs due to Crossroads.
         
         COMMITMENT LETTER FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
         
         The Company and Credit Suisse First Boston Capital LLC ("First

         term of 10 years (20 year amortization) and annual interest rate of

         provide a loan facility in the amount of $1.0 million with a 2 year 
         term and interest paid monthly at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 550 
         basis points.

         an aggregate of approximately 257 rooms.


         1998 OPERATIONS

         and internal forecasts of the Company, adequate sources will be 
         available to fund the 1998 operations and obligations of the 
         Company.
