DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

         On June 30, 2000, Host Funding, Inc. (the "Company") issued to Hotel
International Advisors, LLC ("HIA") 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock in exchange for the transfer to the Company of minority equity
interests in four Mexican domiciled entities which own interests in four
separate Mexican hotels. The equity interests in the Mexican entities have an
estimated fair market value of approximately $3,190,000 as described in Item
2 below.

         The shares of Class A Common Stock were issued to HIA pursuant to
the terms and conditions of a letter agreement between the Company and HIA
accompanied by the execution and delivery by HIA to the Company of an
Investment Letter Agreement. As a result of the transaction, HIA owns
approximately 31% of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company.

         HIA is a limited liability company that is owned by three
individuals. No individual owns more than 49.995% of HIA. The operating
agreement of HIA provides that all major decisions, including voting the
shares of the Common Stock of the Company received in the exchange, must
receive the approval of at least 80% of the members of HIA. Mr. Michael S.
McNulty, the prior president of the Company and a prior director, is the
managing member of HIA. On December 21, 1999, Mr. McNulty resigned as a
director of the Company and effective December 31, 1999 as president. Except
for Mr. McNulty, the members of HIA own varying percentage interests in over
