 1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Host
      Funding, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Registrant" or the
      "Company"), include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated
      subsidiaries.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements have
      been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
      for Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, these statements do not include all of
      the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
      accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
      opinion of management of the Registrant, all adjustments necessary for
      a fair presentation have been included.  The financial statements
      presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the accounting
      policies described in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
      the year ended December 31, 1997 and should be read in accordance
      therewith. The results of operations for the three-month period ended
      March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
      expected for the full year.

 2.   NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE.

      Net Income or Loss per share for the three months ended March 31 1998,
      and 1997 is computed based on the weighted average number of shares 
      of common stock outstanding.  The impact of common stock equivalents 
      to earnings per share is immaterial.

      The Company adopted Statement of Financial 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 weighted-average
      number of common shares outstanding for the period and diluted EPS to
      reflect 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 is required to be
      restated to conform to the provision of this statement.  There is no
      difference between basic and diluted EPS; therefore, no restatement
      of prior periods nor reconciliation of these amounts is needed.

 3.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.

      REIT STATUS

      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 

                                      9
<PAGE>

      outstanding of the Company.  The Company has not satisfied 
      this requirement and therefore, has not elected to qualify 
      as a REIT during the 1997 tax year and currently is subject 
      to the corporate tax provisions. However, the Company is 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 had no 
      taxable income for the 1997.

     CONTRACTS TO PURCHASE PROPERTIES

      The Company has entered into contracts to purchase two properties
      along the West Coast of Florida for an approximate aggregate price of 
      $14 million.  The properties are located in Clearwater and Port Richey
      and contain an aggregate of 258 rooms. Closing is anticipated early 
      in the third quarter, 1998, subject to customary due diligence 
      conditions. The Company is currently negotiating with Buckhead 
      America Corporation, a publicly traded corporation ("Buckhead"), 
      to lease and manage both properties.  Southwest Securities of 
      Dallas, Texas is assisting the Company in procuring financing 
      of these transactions.

      FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS

      Host Funding has been granted franchise license agreements relating to
      the Super 8 Motels, Sleep Inns, and Country Hearth Inns for terms

      revenue, and reservation fees due under the Country Hearth agreements
      of 1% of gross room revenues plus $1.00 per each room night generated
      by the Country Hearth reservation system.  Pursuant to the lease
      agreements for each of the hotel properties owned by the Company, the
      responsibility for payment of the fees on the Sleep Inns and the Super
      8 Motels has been assigned to Crossroads Hospitality Tenant Company,
      LLC, as lessee ("Crossroads"). Likewise, the responsibility for
      payment of the fees on the Country Hearth Inns has been assigned to
      Buckhead America Corporation as lessee of the Country Hearth Inns.


      WARRANTS

      The Company 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, $0.01 par value per share, at $9.90 per share,
      and expire on February 2, 2000. The Series B Warrants provide warrants

      Series B Warrants include certain restrictions prohibiting exercise 
      of the warrants if the Company gives notice of a potential public 
      offering of the securities of the Company under certain terms and 
      conditions. 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.

      TERMINATION OF CROSSROADS AS LESSEE; LETTER OF INTENT TO SELL
      LEASING/MANAGEMENT RIGHTS TO BUCKHEAD

      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.  In addition, the Company has entered into a letter of
      intent with Buckhead 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 cash and restricted Buckhead stock for the right to lease or
      manage the Company hotels previously leased by Crossroads.

      ADDITIONAL FINANCING

      The Company and Credit Suisse First Boston Capital LLC ("First

      with a five (5) year term and interest paid monthly at an 
      annual rate of LIBOR plus 550 basis points.  As Security for the loan,

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
         ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

            The Company currently owns 12 properties, all of which are 
subject to percentage leases (the "Percentage Leases") pursuant to which 
Crossroads Hospitality Tenant Company, L.L.C.  ("Crossroads") is responsible 
for management and operation of 10 properties and Buckhead America 
Corporation ("Buckhead") is responsible for 2 properties. The Company has 
entered into agreements in principle with Buckhead and Crossroads whereby the 
Company will terminate the Percentage Leases between Crossroads and the 
Company (the "Crossroads Leases") and will enter into new leases with 
Buckhead (the "New Buckhead Leases").  The New Buckhead Leases will contain 
substantially the same provisions as the Crossroads Leases.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997:

            The Company acquired four hotel properties on April 1, 1995 (the 
"Initial Hotels"), one property on April 1, 1996 (the "Mission Bay Hotel"), 
four properties on September 13, 1996 (the "Sleep Inn Properties"), one 
property on March 14, 1997 (the "Flagstaff Property"), and two properties on 
October 21, 1997 (the "Country Hearth Inns").  Collectively, the twelve 
properties owned by the Company are herein referred to as the "Company 
Properties".

            Occupancy and average room rates of 52.4% and $52.97 for the Company
Properties for the three months ended March 31, 1998 resulted in total sales of
approximately $2,309,000 and generated lease revenues of approximately 
$910,000. Occupancy and average room rates of 63.5% and $46.98 for the 
Initial Hotels, the Mission Bay Hotel, and the Sleep Inn Properties for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 89.37% and $52.87 for the Flagstaff 
property for the period from March 14 to March 31, 1997 resulted in total 
sales of approximately $1,930,000 which generated lease revenues of 
approximately $749,000.

            The increase in Interest Expense (including amortization of loan 
costs) to approximately $703,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 
from $519,000 in 1997 results from debt associated with property acquisitions 
over these periods.  The 1998 and 1997 amounts include approximately $74,000 
and $151,000 in loan fees.

            The increase in Depreciation and amortization results from 
acquisition of the Company Properties over the three years.  The Company 
Properties are recorded at cost and depreciated over the useful lives.  
Franchise fees totaling approximately $3,000 are included in Depreciation and 
Amortization.

            Administrative expenses - other totaled approximately $212,000 
and $274,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 including 
salary and benefit costs of $77,000 and $56,000, audit and accounting fees of 
$19,000 and $28,000, contract labor of $11,000 and $0, rent of $3,000 and $0, 
fees to the American Stock Exchange of $7,000 and $0, fees to the stock 
transfer agent of $15,500 and $23,000, filing and printing costs of 
$10,000 and $0, relinquished project costs of $33,000 and $0, legal fees of 
$11,000 and $60,000, travel costs of $2,000 and $37,000, and other costs of 
$23,500 and $46,000.

            Net income or loss per share and weighted average shares 
outstanding have been calculated based upon the daily average of the number 
of shares outstanding for the applicable reporting periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

            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 stockholders, is its 
share of the Company's cash flow from the Percentage Leases relating to the 
hotel properties owned by the Company.  Although the obligations of 
Crossroads, as lessee, under the Percentage Leases are 

                                       13
<PAGE>

guaranteed in part by Crossroads Hospitality Company, LLC, a Delaware limited 
liability company (a subsidiary of Interstate Hotels, Inc., a publicly 
traded, Delaware corporation and parent company of Crossroads), the ability 
of Crossroads to make lease payments under the Percentage Leases, and 
therefore the Company's liquidity, including its ability to make 
distributions to stockholders, is dependent on the ability of Crossroads to 
generate sufficient cash flow from the hotels.

            The Company intends to make additional investments in hotel 
properties and may incur 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 potential 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 in the 
form of future public offerings or private placements, 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 prudent.

INFLATION

            Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust 
room rates quickly.  Competitive pressures may, however, limit the ability of 
the lessee 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. To the extent that cash flow form operations is insufficient 
during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in lease 
revenue, the Company expects to utilize other cash on hand or borrowings to 
make distributions to its shareholders.  No assurance can be given, however, 
that the Company will make distributions in the future.
