HIGHLAND HOSPITALITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Description of Business

Highland Hospitality Corporation (the Company) is a self-advised real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns
upscale full-service, premium limited-service, and extended-stay properties located in major convention, business, resort and airport markets in the United States. The Company commenced operations on December 19, 2003 when it completed its
initial public offering (IPO) and concurrently acquired its first three hotel properties. As of September 30, 2006, the Company owned 26 hotel properties with 8,239 rooms located in 13 states and the District of Columbia.

Substantially all of the Companys assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Highland Hospitality, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the Operating Partnership). For the Company to qualify as a REIT, it cannot operate hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership, which is owned approximately 99% by the Company and approximately 1% by other
limited partners, leases its hotels to subsidiaries of HHC TRS Holding Corporation (collectively, HHC TRS), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. HHC TRS then engages hotel management companies to operate the
hotels pursuant to management contracts. HHC TRS is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.

Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted (SFAS 133). Under SFAS 133, all derivative instruments are required to be recognized as either assets or liabilities
in the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered
fair value hedges. Derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow
hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders equity to the extent the hedge is effective. For a derivative instrument designated as a fair value hedge, the change in fair
value each period is reported in earnings along with the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being

hedged. For a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting or is not designated as a hedge, the change in fair value each period is
reported in earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Investment in Hotel
PropertiesInvestments in hotel properties are recorded at acquisition cost and allocated to land, property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,
Business Combinations. Replacements and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of a fixed asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
Companys accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations.

Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 15 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements and three to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related assets.

The Company reviews its investments in hotel properties for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand
for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an
adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel propertys estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss recognized. No impairment losses have been recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005.

The Company classifies a hotel property as held for sale in the period in which it has made the decision to dispose of the
hotel property, a binding agreement to purchase the property has been signed under which the buyer has committed a significant amount of nonrefundable cash, and no significant financing contingencies exist which could cause the transaction not to be
completed in a timely manner. If these criteria are met, depreciation of the hotel property will cease and an impairment loss will be recorded if the fair value of the hotel property, less the costs to sell, is lower than the carrying amount of the
hotel property. The Company will classify the loss, together with the related results of operations, as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and classify the assets and related liabilities as held for sale in the
consolidated balance sheet.

The Company capitalizes interest related to hotel properties undergoing major renovations. Interest
capitalized for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $69,000 and $50,000, respectively. Interest capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Minority Interest in Operating PartnershipCertain hotel properties have been acquired by the Operating Partnership, in part,
through the issuance of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The minority interest in the Operating Partnership is: (i) increased or decreased by the limited partners pro-rata share of the Operating Partnerships
net income or net loss, respectively; (ii) decreased by distributions; (iii) decreased by redemption of partnership units for the Companys common stock; and (iv) adjusted to equal the net equity of the Operating Partnership
multiplied by the limited partners ownership percentage immediately after each issuance of units of the Operating Partnership and/or shares of the Companys common stock and after each purchase of treasury stock through an adjustment to
additional paid-in capital. Net income or net loss is allocated to the minority interest in the Operating Partnership based on the weighted-average percentage ownership throughout the period.

Revenue RecognitionRevenues from operations of the hotels are recognized when the
services are provided. Revenues consist of room sales, food and beverage sales, and other hotel department revenues, such as golf, parking, telephone, and gift shop sales.

Deferred Financing CostsDeferred financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in issuing debt.
Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt and is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Debt Discounts or PremiumsDebt assumed in connection with hotel property acquisitions is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and
any resulting discount or premium is amortized through interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the remaining term of the debt.

Income TaxesThe Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on that
portion of its net income (loss) that does not relate to HHC TRS, the Companys wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary. HHC TRS, which leases the Companys hotels from the Operating Partnership, is subject to federal and state income taxes.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). Under SFAS 109, the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Valuation allowances are provided if based upon the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely
than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Earnings Per ShareBasic net income (loss) per
common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, less dividends on unvested restricted common stock, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss)
per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, less dividends on unvested restricted common stock, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus other potentially
dilutive securities, such as unvested shares of restricted common stock and warrants. The outstanding Operating Partnership units (which may be redeemed for common shares) have been excluded from the diluted net income (loss) per common share
calculation, as there would be no effect on reported diluted net income (loss) per common share.

Stock-Based CompensationFrom
time-to-time, the Company grants restricted stock awards to employees. To-date, the Company has granted three types of restricted stock awards: (1) awards that vest solely on continued employment (time-based awards); (2) awards that vest
based on the Company achieving specified levels of funds from operations (FFO) and continued employment (performance-based awards); and (3) awards that vest based on the Company achieving specified levels of relative total shareholder return
and continued employment (market-based awards). The Company measures stock-based compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The fair value of time-based awards and
performance-based awards is determined based on the average trading price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of market-based awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. For time-based awards, stock-based
compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the entire award. For performance-based awards and market-based awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for each award. The
requisite service period for the market-based

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



awards is derived from the Monte Carlo simulation. No compensation cost is recognized for awards for which employees do not render the requisite service.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)Comprehensive income (loss), as defined, includes all changes in stockholders equity during
a period from non-owner sources. The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income (loss) other than net income (loss).

Treasury StockThe Company records treasury stock purchases under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock.

Segment InformationStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information (SFAS 131), requires public entities to report certain information about operating segments. Based on the guidance provided in SFAS 131, the Company has determined that its business is conducted in one reportable segment,
hotel ownership.

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.

ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting PronouncementsFASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. The Company must determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be
sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Once it is determined that a position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the position
is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. The Company will adopt the provisions of this interpretation beginning in the first quarter of 2007. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings
on January 1, 2007. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

3. Acquisition of Hotel Properties

7. Long-Term Debt

On January 6, 2006, the
Company completed a $35 million financing secured by the Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village hotel. The loan bears a fixed annual interest rate of 5.97% and matures on February 1, 2013. Principal payments will commence in February 2007 and
will be based on a 30-year amortization period.

On February 24, 2006, the Company extinguished its $100 million term loan facility
and completed a separate unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. In connection with the extinguishment, the Company wrote off approximately $1.1 million of remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to the term
loan facility.

The revolving credit facility provides aggregate revolving loan commitments of up to $150 million with an option to
increase the amount of the facility by up to $50 million. The amount that the Company can borrow under the revolving credit facility is based on the value of the Companys unencumbered hotel properties included in the borrowing base, as defined
in the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2006, the maximum borrowing availability under the facility was $150 million, of which $94 million had been drawn.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at variable rates equal to, at the Companys option, either (a) LIBOR, plus a credit spread, or (b) a base rate, plus a credit spread. The
base rate in effect on any given day is equal to the higher of (a) the prime rate published by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or (b) the Federal Funds Rate announced by the Federal Reserve Bank, plus 0.5%. The credit spread is reset each quarter
based on the Companys current leverage ratio. The credit agreement contains standard financial covenants, including certain leverage ratios, coverage ratios, and a minimum tangible net worth. The Company is required to pay an unused fee of
0.20% per annum on the amount of unused capacity under the credit facility. The facility matures on February 23, 2009 and has a one-year extension option.

On March 13, 2006, the Company completed a $52 million financing secured by the Nashville Renaissance hotel. The loan bears a fixed annual interest rate of 6.11% and matures on April 1, 2013. Principal
payments commenced in April 2006 and are based on a 25-year amortization period.

million financing secured by the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs resort. The loan bears a fixed annual interest rate of 6.28% and matures on September 1, 2016. Principal payments will commence in September 2008 and will be based on a 30-year
amortization period.

exercise price of $10 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the underwriter acquired 681,275 shares of common stock upon exercises of the warrants. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has reserved 207,213 shares of
common stock for issuance upon additional exercises of the warrants.

Treasury StockFor the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company purchased 14,674 shares and 12,452 shares, respectively, of common stock from employees to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements related to the vesting of their shares of restricted
common stock.

Operating Partnership UnitsHolders of Operating Partnership units have certain redemption rights, which enable
them to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their units in exchange for, at the sole discretion of the Operating Partnership, either shares of the Companys common stock on a one-for-one basis or cash per unit equal to the market price of
the Companys common stock at the time of redemption. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the redemption rights will be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro-rata share transactions,
which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the limited partners or the stockholders of the Company. As of September 30, 2006, the total number of Operating Partnership units outstanding owned by third-party
limited partners was 529,850.

11. Stock Incentive Plan

On May 23, 2006, the Companys stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the 2003 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the Plan), which authorizes the issuance of
options to purchase shares of common stock and the grant of stock awards, stock appreciation rights, deferred shares, performance shares and performance units. Employees and directors of the Company and other persons that provide consulting services
to the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan. The compensation policy committee of the board of directors administers the Plan and determines the numbers of awards to be granted, the vesting period, and the exercise price, if any.

The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to
persons who are employees of the Company. The exercise price for granted options cannot be less than the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date the option is granted, and in the event a participant is deemed to be a 10% or
more owner of the Company, the exercise price of an incentive stock option cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date the option is granted. No participant may be granted incentive stock options
that are exercisable for the first time in any calendar year for common stock having a total fair market value (determined as of the option grant), in excess of $100,000. As of September 30, 2006, no stock options had been granted under the
Plan.

The Plan also provides for the grant of stock awards. A stock award may be subject to payment by the
participant of a purchase price for shares of common stock subject to a stock award, and a stock award may be subject to vesting requirements or transfer restrictions or both as determined by the compensation policy committee of the board of
directors. Those conditions may include, for example, a requirement that the participant complete a specified period of service or that certain performance objectives be achieved. Transfer of the shares of common stock subject to a stock award
normally will be restricted prior to vesting.

Under the Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to stock
options, stock awards, deferred shares or performance shares or covered by stock appreciation rights is 5,002,000 shares. No one participant may receive awards for more than 500,000 shares of common stock in any one calendar year. The maximum number
of performance units that may be granted to a participant in any one calendar year is 750,000 for each full or fractional year included in the performance period for the award granted during the calendar year. These limitations, and the terms of
outstanding awards, will be adjusted without the approval of the Companys stockholders as the compensation policy committee of the board of directors determines is appropriate in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification of
stock or similar events. If an award terminates, expires, is forfeited or becomes unexercisable, the shares of common stock subject to such award become available for future awards under the Plan. In addition, shares which are granted under any type
of award under the Plan and which are repurchased or reacquired by the Company at the original purchase price for such shares also become available for future awards under the Plan. As of September 30, 2006, subject to increases resulting from
the forfeiture of currently outstanding awards, 2,667,989 shares of common stock were reserved and available for future issuances under the Plan.

The board of directors may amend or terminate the Plan at any time, but an amendment will not become effective without the approval of the Companys stockholders (within 12 months of the date such amendment is adopted by the board of
directors) if it increases the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted under the Plan. No amendment or termination of the Plan will affect a participants rights under outstanding awards without the participants
consent.

On May 23, 2006, the Company granted 1,340,000 shares of restricted common stock to certain employees. Three types of shares
were granted: (1) 893,332 shares that vest solely on continued employment (time-based awards); (2) 148,889 shares that vest based on the Company achieving specified levels of FFO and continued employment (performance-based awards); and
(3) 297,779 shares that vest based on the Company achieving specified levels of relative total shareholder return and continued employment (market-based awards). The time-based awards are eligible to vest 10% in 2007, 25% in 2008, 30% in 2009,
and 35% in 2010. The performance-based awards and market-based awards are eligible to vest 25% in each of 2007 through 2010. Additional vesting of market-based awards may also occur in 2010 if the cumulative level of relative total shareholder
return during the entire performance measurement period results in a higher total number of shares being vested than the total number of shares that vested based on relative total shareholder return on an individual year basis. Dividends on the
shares of restricted common stock will accrue, but will not be paid unless the related shares vest. The fair value of the market-based awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions: volatility of 25.2% based on
the Companys stock price since the IPO; an expected term equal to the requisite service period for the awards; and a three-year risk-free interest rate of 4.90%.

12. Related-Party Transactions

Management AgreementsAs of September 30, 2006, 14 of the Companys 26 hotels operated pursuant to long-term management agreements
with Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc. Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Barceló Crestline, which sponsored the Companys formation and IPO. Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc.
receives a base management fee, and if the hotels meet and exceed certain performance thresholds, an incentive management fee. The base management fee for the hotels is generally between 2% and 3.5% of total gross revenues from the hotels. The
incentive management fee, if any, for each hotel will be equal to 15% of the amount by which operating income for the fiscal year exceeds 11% of the Companys capitalized investment in the hotel. The management agreements place a cap on the
total amount of combined base and incentive management fees paid to Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc. for each hotel at 4.5% of gross revenues for each fiscal year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company paid Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc. approximately $1.3 million and
$0.7 million, respectively, in management fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company paid Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc. approximately $3.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in management fees.

Overhead and Cost-Sharing ArrangementSince the Companys inception, it has had an informal overhead and cost-sharing
arrangement with Barceló Crestline whereby the Company has shared Barceló Crestlines office space and related furniture, fixtures and equipment and certain support services, including human resources and information technology
functions, in exchange for a monthly reimbursement of the estimated value to the Company from this sharing arrangement. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company paid Barceló Crestline approximately $40,000 and
$36,000, respectively, under this arrangement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company paid Barceló Crestline approximately $120,000 and $162,000, respectively, under this arrangement.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Ground and
Building LeasesThe Company leases the Portsmouth Renaissance hotel and adjoining conference center pursuant to two separate lease agreements, each with an initial term ending May 2049, with four ten-year renewal options and one nine-year
renewal option. Base rent under the hotel lease is $50,000 per year. Annual percentage rent, if any, is equal to 100% of available net cash flow after payment of all hotel operating expenses, the base rent, real estate taxes, insurance and a
cumulative priority annual return to the

Company of approximately $2 million, up to $0.2 million, then 50% of any remaining net cash flow until the

landlord has been paid percentage (and additional) rent of $10 million in aggregate, and thereafter 10% of net cash flow annually. If the Company sells or
assigns the hotel lease, an additional rent payment equal to 50% of the net sales proceeds in excess of the Companys capital investment in the hotel and unpaid annual return of 15% on the investment will be due. Annual rent under the
conference center lease is equal to the lesser of $75,000 per year or the maximum amount of rent allowable under tax regulations so as to preserve the tax-exempt status of the Portsmouth Industrial Development Authority bonds issued in connection
with the hotel and conference center.

The Company leases the conference center and parking facility adjoining the Sugar Land Marriott
hotel pursuant to a lease agreement with an initial term ending October 2102. The minimum rent is $1 per year, plus an incentive rent payment for the first 25 years of the term of the lease. If during any of those first 25 years, the Companys
cumulative internal rate of return on investment in the hotel exceeds 15%, then the Company will pay incentive rent in an amount equal to 36% of the net cash flow for the applicable year in excess of the amount of net cash flow that would be
necessary to generate a cumulative internal rate of return of 15%.

The Company leases the land underlying the Nashville Renaissance hotel
and a portion of the adjoining convention center pursuant to a lease agreement with an initial term ending June 2017, with seven 10-year renewal options. Base rent under the lease is $0.5 million per year. Annual percentage rent is equal to 20% of
available net cash flow after payment of all hotel operating expenses, the base rent, real estate taxes, insurance, debt service, property improvement reserve funding, and a priority annual return to the Company of 15% of the Companys
capitalized investment in the hotel. If the Company sells or assigns the hotel lease, an additional payment equal to 20% of the net sales proceeds in excess of the Companys capital investment in the hotel will be due. In addition, if the
Company refinances the debt secured by the hotel, an additional payment equal to 20% of the net cash proceeds will be due.

Percentage and
incentive rent is accrued when it becomes probable that the specified thresholds will be achieved. No percentage or incentive rent was recognized in any period presented in the consolidated financial statements, as the thresholds were not expected
to be met.

The Company leases the land underlying the Sheraton Annapolis hotel pursuant to a lease agreement with an initial term ending
September 2059. Annual rent due under the lease is approximately $0.3 million and increases each year over the remaining term of the lease by 40% of the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for that year. In addition, the land will be
appraised every five years and the annual rent will be increased to an amount equal to the product of the appraised value and 12%. However, annual rent will not be increased by an amount greater than 10% of the annual rent for the preceding year.

The Company leases the land underlying the Wyndham Palm Springs hotel pursuant to a sub-lease agreement with an initial term ending
December 2059, with a 25-year renewal option. Annual rent due under the lease is the greater of base rent or percentage rent. Annual base rent for the years 2005 through 2009 is approximately $0.9 million. Base rent increases every five years over
the remaining term of the lease by the increase in the CPI over that same five-year period; however, the increase in base rent every five years will not be increased by an amount greater than 30% of the base rent for the preceding five-year period.
Annual percentage rent is equal to the sum of 4% of rooms gross receipts, 2% of food and beverage gross receipts, and 10% of tenant rentals.

Management AgreementsAs of September 30, 2006, the Companys hotel properties operated pursuant to long-term agreements with five management companies, including Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (14 hotels),
Marriott International, Inc. (6 hotels), Hyatt Corporation (2 hotels), McKibbon Hotel Management, Inc. (2 hotels), and Hilton Hotels Corporation (2 hotels). Each management company receives a base management fee

generally between 2% and 4% of hotel revenues. The management companies are also eligible to receive an incentive management fee if hotel operating income,
as defined in the management agreements, exceeds certain performance thresholds. The incentive management fee is generally calculated as a percentage of hotel operating income after the Company has received a priority return on its investment in the
hotel.

Franchise AgreementsAs of September 30, 2006, 14 of the Companys 26 hotel properties operated pursuant to
franchise agreements from national hotel companies. Pursuant to the franchise agreements, the Company pays a royalty fee generally between 4% and 5% of room revenues, plus additional fees for marketing, central reservation systems, and other
franchisor costs that amount to between 3% and 4% of room revenues from the hotels. 10 of the Companys 26 hotel properties, which include the Hyatt Regency Savannah hotel, the Hyatt Regency Wind Watch Long Island hotel, the Dallas/Fort Worth
Airport Marriott hotel, the Nashville Renaissance hotel, the Ritz-Carlton Atlanta Downtown hotel, the Courtyard Boston Tremont hotel, the Courtyard Denver Airport hotel, the Courtyard Gaithersburg Washingtonian Center hotel, the Hilton Boston Back
Bay hotel, and the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs resort are managed by Hyatt Corporation, Marriott International, Inc., or Hilton Hotels Corporation. The management agreements for these 10 hotel properties allow the hotel properties to operate under
the respective brand. With respect to the Companys other two hotel properties, The Churchill hotel and The Melrose hotel operate as independent hotels.

Property Improvement ReservesPursuant to its management, franchise and loan agreements, the Company is required to establish a property improvement reserve for each hotel to cover the cost of replacing
furniture, fixtures and equipment at the hotels. Contributions to the property improvement reserve are based on a percentage of gross revenues or receipts at each hotel. The Company is generally required to contribute between 3% and 5% of gross
revenues each month over the term of the agreements.

LitigationThe Company is not involved in any material litigation nor, to
its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company.

Substantially all of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through,
Highland Hospitality, L.P. (our Operating Partnership). In order for us to qualify as a REIT, neither our company nor the Operating Partnership can operate hotels directly. Therefore, the Operating Partnership, which is owned
approximately 99% by us and approximately 1% by other limited partners, leases its hotels to subsidiaries of HHC TRS Holding Corporation (collectively, HHC TRS), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. HHC TRS
then engages hotel management companies to operate the hotels pursuant to management contracts. HHC TRS is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.

##### Table of Contents

Key Operating Metrics

Hotel results of operations are best explained by three key performance indicators: occupancy, average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR), which is room revenue divided by
total number of room nights. RevPAR does not include food and beverage revenues or other ancillary revenues, such as golf, telephone, parking or other guest services provided by the property.

Occupancy is a major driver of room revenue, as well as other revenue categories, such as food and beverage and telephone. ADR helps to drive room
revenue as well; however, it does not have a direct effect on other revenue categories. Fluctuations in occupancy are accompanied by fluctuations in most categories of variable operating costs, such as utility costs and certain labor costs such as
housekeeping, resulting in varying levels of hotel profitability. Increases in ADR typically result in higher hotel profitability since variable hotel expenses generally do not increase correspondingly. Thus, increases in RevPAR attributable to
increases in occupancy are accompanied by increases in most categories of variable operating costs, while increases in RevPAR attributable to increases in ADR are accompanied by increases in limited categories of operating costs, such as management
fees and franchise fees.

Executive Summary of Third Quarter Events

The lodging industry generated solid growth in the third quarter 2006 with industry-wide RevPAR up 6.0% for the quarter. The upper upscale and upscale segments, where we are focused, experienced RevPAR increases of
6.0% and 7.3%, respectively. For the third quarter 2006, the upper upscale and upscale segments occupancy rates were 73.3% and 73.1%, respectively, driving pricing power in these segments. ADRs for the upper upscale and upscale segments
increased approximately $10 for the third quarter 2006 compared to the prior year period. Overall, the trends we saw in the first half of the year of strong group and business transient demand continued in the third quarter 2006. The decline in
discounted business and business from third-party distribution channels continues to support rate growth. For the remainder of 2006, we expect these solid trends to continue. There will continue to be a modest decline in demand growth to the 2%
range. However, with room supply remaining under 1% across the industry, we expect that RevPAR growth will be in the 6.5% to 7.0% range for the remainder of 2006. All in all, the economic dynamics for the lodging industry remain attractive.

We were very pleased with our hotel portfolio operating results during the third quarter 2006. For the fourth consecutive quarter, we
achieved double-digit RevPAR growth in our comparable properties. For our total hotel portfolio, RevPAR increased 11.1% in the third quarter 2006, as compared to the third quarter 2005, and our comparable hotel portfolio RevPAR increased 10.6% for
those same periods. In addition, for our total hotel portfolio, operating income margins increased 390 basis points in the third quarter 2006, as compared to the third quarter 2005, and our comparable hotel portfolio operating income margins
increased 260 basis points for those same periods. This outstanding growth was largely driven by our recently renovated hotels, including the Hyatt Regency Savannah hotel, the Plaza San Antonio Marriott hotel, and the Courtyard Boston Tremont hotel,
as well as our recent acquisitions, including the Hilton Boston Back Bay hotel, the Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village hotel, and the Nashville Renaissance hotel.

In the third quarter 2006, we acquired the 444-room Ritz-Carlton Atlanta Downtown hotel in Atlanta, Georgia for approximately $77.4 million. The acquisition of this hotel, representing our first investment in the
luxury segment, was an opportunistic purchase of an urban Ritz-Carlton for a total investment of under $200,000 per key (including planned guestroom upgrades). During the third quarter 2006, we sold the Barceló Tucancun Beach resort for
approximately $38.5 million, recording a net gain on the sale of approximately $1.3 million. The sale of the Barceló Tucancun Beach resort resulted from our shift in strategic focus toward opportunities located in the top U.S. markets. Given
the increases in asset pricing in Mexico and the numerous other difficulties we have confronted in consummating transactions there, we believe that selling the Barceló Tucancun Beach resort was a prudent course of action.

We continue to maintain an active pipeline of investment opportunities and seek to selectively acquire high-quality assets located in major, high
barrier-to-entry markets with strong current yields and solid bottom-line growth potential, while at the same time maintaining a prudent capital structure.

Results of Operations

Comparison of three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005

On August 31, 2006, we sold the
Barceló Tucancun Beach resort for net sales proceeds of approximately $38.5 million and recognized a net gain of approximately $1.3 million. The results of operations for the Barceló Tucancun Beach resort have been reclassified as
discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Results
of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 include the operating activity of 25 hotels for a full quarter and two hotels for a partial quarter. Results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 include
the operating activity of 19 hotels for a full quarter and one hotel for a partial quarter (see table above for hotel property acquisition dates). As such, comparisons of results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006
versus the three months ended September 30, 2005 are not meaningful.

RevenuesTotal revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 was $99.7 million, as compared to $56.4 million for the comparable period in 2005. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 included rooms revenue of $68.7 million, food and beverage revenue of $25.8
million, and other revenue of $5.1 million. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2005 included rooms revenue of $39.2 million, food and beverage revenue of $15.1 million, and other revenue of $2.1 million.

Included in the following table are comparisons of the key operating metrics for our hotel portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2006
and 2005. The comparisons do not include the results of operations for the recently sold Barceló Tucancun Beach resort and Marriott Mount Laurel hotel or the newly developed Courtyard Gaithersburg Washingtonian Center hotel. Since eight of
our hotels owned as of September 30, 2006 were acquired in the second half of 2005 and 2006, the key operating metrics for the total hotel portfolio reflect the results of operations of those eight hotels under previous ownership for either a
portion of, or the entire, three months ended September 30, 2005.

For the three months ended September 30, 2006, RevPAR for our total hotel portfolio increased 11.1% to $98.00 from the comparable pro forma period
in 2005. Occupancy increased by 1.7 percentage points to 72.8%, while ADR increased by 8.5% to $134.65. For our comparable hotel portfolio, RevPAR increased 10.6% to $94.32 from the comparable pro forma period in 2005. Occupancy increased by 1.0
percentage point to 72.8%, while ADR increased by 9.2% to $129.62. The increase in RevPAR for the third quarter 2006 versus the pro forma third quarter 2005 was largely a result of significant RevPAR increases at our recently renovated hotels,
including the Hyatt Regency Savannah hotel, the Plaza San Antonio Marriott hotel, and the Courtyard Boston Tremont hotel. In addition, several of the hotels that we acquired in the last 12 months experienced significant RevPAR increases, including
the Hilton Boston Back Bay hotel, the Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village hotel, and the Nashville Renaissance hotel. The Portsmouth Renaissance hotel, the Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Town Center hotel, and the Courtyard Denver Airport hotel
also experienced double-digit RevPAR increases for the third quarter 2006. Offsetting the RevPAR increases at the aforementioned hotels were The Melrose hotel and The Churchill hotel, which are located in Washington, D.C. and, consistent with the
overall D.C. market, experienced decreases in RevPAR for the third quarter 2006. In addition, the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott hotel, the Sheraton Annapolis hotel, and the Hilton Parsippany hotel, all of which have been undergoing renovations,
also experienced minimal-to-decreased RevPAR for the third quarter 2006.

For the three months ended September 30, 2006, hotel operating income for our total hotel portfolio increased 29.8% to $24.9 million from the
comparable pro forma period in 2005 and hotel operating income margins increased by 3.9 percentage points to 25.4%. For our comparable hotel portfolio, hotel operating income increased 22.7% to $17.6 million from the comparable pro forma period in
2005 and hotel operating income margins increased by 2.6 percentage points to 29.3%. The significant increase in hotel operating income and margins for the third quarter 2006 versus the pro forma third quarter 2005 was largely a result of
significant operating income increases at our recently renovated hotels, including the Hyatt Regency Savannah hotel, the Courtyard Boston Tremont hotel, and the Hyatt Regency Wind Watch Long Island hotel. In addition, several of the hotels that we
acquired in the last 12 months experienced significant operating income increases, including the Hilton Boston Back Bay hotel, the Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village hotel, and the Nashville Renaissance hotel.

Depreciation and amortizationDepreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $11.5 million, as
compared to $5.9 million for the comparable period in 2005. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 versus the comparable period in 2005 was attributable to the increase in investment
in hotel properties during 2005 and 2006.

Corporate general and administrativeTotal corporate general and administrative
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $3.9 million, as compared to $2.3 million for the comparable period in 2005. Included in corporate general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006
and 2005 was $2.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses is primarily a result of an increase in corporate franchise tax expense, due to the
mix of states that we own hotels in, an increase in employee salaries, and additional stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards granted in May 2006.

attributable to the increase in long-term debt during 2005 and 2006.

Income tax benefitIncome tax benefit for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The income tax benefits resulted from taxable operating losses incurred by our TRS for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs resort, and the Wyndham Palm Springs hotel. The Sugar Land Marriott hotel, the Omaha Marriott hotel, and the Courtyard Denver Airport hotel also experienced significant operating income increases for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006.

Depreciation and amortizationDepreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 was $30.8 million, as compared to $15.5 million for the comparable period in 2005. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus the comparable period in 2005
was attributable to the increase in investment in hotel properties during 2005 and 2006.

Corporate general and
administrativeTotal corporate general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $10.5 million, as compared to $7.4 million for the comparable period in 2005. Included in corporate general and
administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $4.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses is
primarily a result of an increase in corporate franchise tax expense, due to the mix of states that we own hotels in, an increase in employee salaries, and additional stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards granted in May
2006.

Interest incomeInterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $1.4 million and $0.8
million, respectively.

Interest expenseInterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $28.4 million,
as compared to $17.5 million for the comparable period in 2005. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus the comparable period in 2005 was directly attributable to the increase in long-term debt
during 2005 and 2006.

Income tax expenseIncome tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1.5
million, as compared to an income tax benefit of $0.6 million for the comparable period in 2005. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 resulted from taxable operating income generated by our TRS, whereas the income tax
benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 resulted from taxable operating losses incurred by our TRS.

Net
incomeNet income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $25.8 million, as compared to $5.0 million for the comparable period in 2005, due to the items discussed above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial
measures are measures of our historical or future financial performance that are different from measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These include: funds from
operations (FFO) available to common stockholders, adjusted FFO available to common stockholders, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA.

FFO
available to common stockholdersFFO available to common stockholders is defined as net income (loss) available to common stockholders, excluding depreciation and amortization and gains (losses) on sales of hotel properties. Historical cost
accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most industry investors have
considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Accordingly, we believe that FFO available to common stockholders is a useful financial measure for
investors and management because it

provides another indication of our performance, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization. We also exclude gains (losses) on sales of hotel
properties from net income (loss) available to common stockholders because we believe that by excluding gains (losses) on sales of hotel properties, investors and management are provided a more comparable financial measure of our operating
performance.

Adjusted FFO available to common stockholdersWe further adjust FFO available to common stockholders to exclude
certain other non-recurring items, such as gains (losses) on early extinguishments of debt, because we believe that by excluding these non-recurring items, investors and management are provided a more comparable financial measure of our operating
performance.

The following table reconciles FFO and adjusted FFO available to common stockholders to net income available to common
stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

EBITDAEBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes and depreciation
and amortization. We believe it is a useful financial measure for investors and management because it provides an indication of the operating performance of our hotel properties and is not impacted by our capital structure.

Adjusted EBITDAWe further adjust EBITDA to exclude gains (losses) on sales of hotel properties and certain other non-recurring items, such
as gains (losses) on early extinguishments of debt, because we believe that by excluding non-recurring items, investors and management are provided a more comparable financial measure of our operating performance.

The following table reconciles EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

##### Table of Contents

The calculation of FFO available to common stockholders, adjusted FFO available to common stockholders,
and adjusted EBITDA may vary from entity to entity, and as such, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures by us may not be comparable to FFO available to common stockholders, adjusted FFO available to common stockholders, and adjusted
EBITDA reported by other REITs.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal source of cash to meet our operating requirements, including distributions to stockholders and repayments of indebtedness, is from our hotels results of operations. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $53.2 million. We currently expect that our operating cash flows will be sufficient to fund our continuing operations, including distributions to stockholders
required to maintain our REIT status and our required debt service obligations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net
cash used in investing activities was approximately $291.0 million, including approximately $338.2 million to purchase the 673-room Nashville Renaissance hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, the 240-room Melrose hotel in Washington, DC, the 585-room
Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs resort in Phoenix, Arizona, the 210-room Courtyard Gaithersburg Washingtonian Center hotel in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and the 444-room Ritz-Carlton Atlanta Downtown hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. We also used approximately
$37.5 million in improvements and additions to our hotel properties, the majority of which was used for major renovations taking place at the Hilton Parsippany hotel, the Courtyard Boston Tremont hotel, and the recently sold Marriott Mount Laurel
hotel and Barceló Tucancun Beach resort. Offsetting the aforementioned cash payments was approximately $71.6 million of net sales proceeds received related primarily to the sale of the Marriott Mount Laurel hotel and the Barceló
Tucancun Beach resort on June 29, 2006 and August 31, 2006, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net
cash provided by financing activities was approximately $203.2 million. In March 2006, we completed an underwritten public offering and sold 7,300,000 shares of common stock, generating net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and
offering expenses of approximately $88.1 million. We also issued 681,275 shares of common stock as a result of our IPO lead managing underwriters exercises of warrants, generating proceeds of approximately $6.8 million. We generated $142.3
million from the issuance of mortgage loans secured by the Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village hotel, the Nashville Renaissance hotel, and the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs resort. In February 2006, we closed on an unsecured revolving credit
facility and borrowed $100 million immediately to extinguish our term loan facility. Since then, we have made net repayments of $6 million on the revolving credit facility. We also used approximately $32.3 million to pay dividends to common and
preferred stockholders.

In August 2006, we finalized the settlement of our insurance claim relating to the damages caused by Hurricane
Wilma at the 332-room Barceló Tucancun Beach resort in Cancun, Mexico for a total of approximately $9.0 million in proceeds, all of which has been received.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $30.2
million and restricted cash of approximately $19.2 million. As of October 31, 2006, we had approximately $26.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $46 million of remaining borrowing capacity under our $150 million revolving credit
facility. We have the ability to raise additional capital by either issuing mortgage loans on our unencumbered hotel properties or contributing them into the borrowing base of our revolving credit facility and, therefore, increasing our borrowing
capacity. We intend to invest our remaining cash and cash equivalents and additional capacity under the revolving credit facility in hotel properties, either through planned renovations or new hotel acquisitions.

In December 2004, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, registering equity securities with a maximum
aggregate offering price of up to $500 million. As of September 30, 2006, we had equity securities with a maximum aggregate offering price of approximately $213 million available to issue.

##### Table of Contents

Capital Expenditures

We maintain each hotel in good repair and condition and in conformity with applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with the franchisors standards and the agreed-upon requirements in our management
agreements. The cost of all such routine improvements and alterations will be paid out of a property improvement fund, which will be funded by a portion of hotel gross revenues. Routine capital expenditures will be administered by the management
companies. However, we have approval rights over the capital expenditures as part of the annual budget process.

From time-to-time, certain
of our hotel properties may be undergoing renovations as a result of our decision to upgrade portions of the hotels, such as guestrooms, meeting space, and/or restaurants, in order to better compete with other hotels in our markets. In addition,
often after we acquire a hotel property, we are required to complete a property improvement plan (PIP) in order to bring the hotel property up to the respective franchisors standards. If permitted by the terms of the management
agreement, funding for a renovation will first come from the property improvement fund. To the extent that the property improvement fund is not adequate to cover the cost of the renovation, we will fund the remaining portion of the renovation with
cash and cash equivalents on hand.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2006, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods (in thousands). There
were no other material off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2006.

Inflation

Operators of
hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to reflect the effects of inflation. However, competitive pressures may limit the ability of our management companies to raise room rates.

Seasonality

Demand in the lodging industry is
affected by recurring seasonal patterns. For non-resort properties, demand is generally lower in the winter months due to decreased travel and higher in the spring and summer months during the peak travel season. For resort properties, demand is
generally higher in the winter months. We expect that our operations will generally reflect non-resort seasonality patterns. Accordingly, we expect that we will have lower revenue, operating income and cash flow in the first and fourth quarters and
higher revenue, operating income and cash flow in the second and third quarters. These general trends are, however, expected to be greatly influenced by overall economic cycles.

Critical Accounting Policies

We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Investment in Hotel PropertiesInvestments in hotel properties are stated at acquisition cost and allocated to land, property and equipment
and identifiable intangible assets at fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Property and equipment are recorded at fair value based on current replacement cost for
similar capacity and allocated to buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment using cost segregation studies performed by management and independent third parties. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method
over an estimated useful life of 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and three to ten years for furniture and equipment. Identifiable intangible assets are typically contracts, including lease, management and franchise agreements, which
are recorded at fair value. Above-market and below-market contract values are based on the present value of the difference between contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the contracts acquired and our estimate of the fair market contract rates
for corresponding contracts measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the contract. Contracts acquired which are at market do not have significant value. An existing management or franchise agreement is typically
terminated at the time of acquisition and a new agreement is entered into based on then current market terms. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining non-cancelable term of the related agreements. In making
estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we may utilize a number of sources that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of a property and other market data. Management also considers information
obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired.

We review our investments in hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investments in hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or
circumstances that may cause us to perform our review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand for lodging at our properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where
our hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of an investment in a hotel property
exceed the hotels carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss
recognized.

Stock-Based CompensationFrom time-to-time, we grant restricted stock awards to employees. To-date, we have
granted three types of restricted stock awards: (1) awards that vest solely on continued employment (time-based awards); (2) awards that vest based on us achieving specified levels of funds from operations (FFO) and continued employment
(performance-based awards); and (3) awards that vest based on us achieving specified levels of relative total shareholder return and continued employment (market-based awards).

We measure stock-based compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The fair value of
time-based awards and performance-based awards is determined based on the average trading price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of market-based awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation performed by a third-party
valuation specialist. A Monte Carlo simulation requires the use of a number of assumptions, including historical volatility and correlation of our common stock and the common stock of our peer group, a risk-free rate of return, and an expected term.

For time-based awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the entire award. For
market-based awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for each award. The requisite service period for the market-based awards is derived from the Monte Carlo simulation. For both time-based awards and
market-based awards, once the total amount of stock-based compensation expense is determined on the date of the grant, no adjustments are made to the amount

recognized each period. Similar to market-based awards, stock-based compensation expense for performance-based awards is recognized over the requisite
service period for each award. However, unlike time-based awards and market-based awards, the amount of stock-based compensation expense, if any, recognized each period is based on whether the performance measure is expected to be met. For all three
types of awards, no compensation cost is recognized for awards for which employees do not render the requisite service.

Revenue
RecognitionHotel revenues, including room, food and beverage, and other hotel revenues, are recognized as the related services are provided.

New Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. We must determine
whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Once it is determined that a
position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. We will adopt the provisions of this interpretation beginning in the first quarter of 2007. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 will be reported
as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2007. We do not anticipate that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate RiskWe are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2006, $532.1 million or 84% of our $636.8 million of long-term debt was fixed. Another $60.9 million was
effectively fixed, as a result of interest rate swaps that fix the interest rates on our variable-rate mortgage loan and $50 million borrowed under our revolving credit facility. The remaining $44.0 million borrowed under our revolving credit
facility as of September 30, 2006 was variable.

Due to the fact that our portfolio of long-term debt is substantially comprised of
fixed-rate instruments, the fair value of the portfolio is relatively sensitive to effects of interest rate fluctuations. Assuming a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates, the fair value of our portfolio of long-term debt would increase by
approximately $17.1 million. Although a change in market interest rates impacts the fair value of our fixed-rate debt, it has no impact on interest expense incurred or cash flows.

With respect to our variable rate long-term debt, if market rates of interest on our variable long-term debt increase by 1%, the increase in interest
expense on our variable long-term debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.4 million annually. On the other hand, if market rates of interest on our variable rate long-term debt decrease by 1%, the decrease in interest
expense on our variable rate long-term debt would increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.4 million annually. This assumes that the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility remains at $94 million, the balance at
September 30, 2006, and we continue to fix the interest rate on $50 million of the $94 million through the use of an interest rate swap.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

The Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Highland Hospitality Corporation have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act)), as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, and have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, Highland Hospitality Corporations
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There was no change in Highland Hospitality Corporations internal control over
financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during Highland Hospitality Corporations most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, Highland Hospitality Corporations internal control over financial reporting.
