Items 1 & 2. Business and Properties

We are a limited partnership, or the "Operating Partnership," owning full
service hotel properties. Our sole general partner is Host Marriott
Corporation, or "Host REIT," a self-managed and self-administered real estate
investment trust. We were formed as a Delaware limited partnership in 1998 as
a wholly owned subsidiary of Host Marriott Corporation, a Delaware
corporation, in connection with its efforts to reorganize its business
operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or "REIT," for
federal income tax purposes. As part of this reorganization, which we refer to
as the REIT conversion, and which is described below in more detail, on

1


December 29, 1998, Host Marriott and various of its subsidiaries contributed
substantially all of their assets to us and we assumed substantially all of
their liabilities. As a result, we have succeeded to the hotel ownership
business formerly conducted by Host Marriott. We conduct our business as an
umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, with Host REIT as our sole general
partner. As of December 31, 2000, Host REIT held approximately 78% of our
outstanding partnership interests, which we refer to as OP Units. On February
7, 2001, certain limited partners converted 12.5 million OP Units to Host REIT
common shares and immediately sold them to an underwriter for sale on the open
market. As a result, Host REIT now owns approximately 82% of the Operating
Partnership.

Together with Host REIT, we were formed primarily to continue, in an UPREIT
structure, the full service hotel ownership business formerly conducted by
Host Marriott and its subsidiaries. We use the name Host Marriott to refer to
Host Marriott Corporation, the Delaware corporation, prior to the REIT
conversion. Our primary business objective is to provide superior total
returns to our unitholders through a combination of distributions,
appreciation in net asset value per unit, and growth in funds from operations
per unit, or FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts (i.e., net income computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, excluding gains or losses from debt
restructuring and sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation
and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
joint ventures), by focusing on aggressive asset management and disciplined
capital allocation. In addition, we endeavor to:

. maximize the value of our existing portfolio through an aggressive asset
management program which focuses on selectively improving and expanding
our hotels;

. acquire additional existing and newly developed upscale and luxury full
service hotels in targeted markets primarily focusing on downtown hotels
in core business districts in major metropolitan markets and select
airport and resort/convention locations;

. complete our current development and expansion program, and selectively
develop and construct new upscale and luxury full service hotels;

. regenerate capital through opportunistic asset sales and selectively
dispose of noncore assets;

. opportunistically pursue other real estate investments.

As of March 12, 2001, we own 122 hotels, containing approximately 58,000
rooms, located throughout the United States and Canada. The hotels are
generally operated under the Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Hilton,
Hyatt and Swissotel brand names. These brand names are among the most
respected and widely recognized brand names in the lodging industry.

Host REIT, our sole general partner, manages all aspects of our business.
This includes decisions with respect to:

. sales and purchases of hotels;

. the financing of the hotels;

. the leasing of the hotels; and

. capital expenditures for the hotels subject to the terms of the leases
and the management agreements.

Host REIT is managed by a Board of Directors and has no employees who are
not also our employees.

Due to certain tax laws restricting REITs from deriving revenues directly
from the operations of hotels, during 1999 and 2000 the hotels were leased by
us to third party lessees, including primarily Crestline Capital Corporation,
or "Crestline", and its subsidiaries, and managed on behalf of the lessees by
nationally recognized hotel operators such as Marriott International, Four
Seasons, Hyatt, Interstate and other companies.

The REIT Modernization Act, which was enacted in December 1999, amended the
tax laws to permit REITs, effective January 1, 2001, (i) to lease hotels to a
subsidiary that qualifies as a taxable REIT subsidiary, or

2


"TRS," and (ii) to own all of the voting stock of such TRS. Effective January
1, 2001, we completed a transaction with Crestline for the termination of the
Crestline leases through the purchase of the entities, or "Crestline Lessee
Entities", owning the leasehold interests with respect to 116 of our full-
service hotels by our wholly-owned TRS for $207 million in cash, including
approximately $6 million of legal fees and transfer taxes. In connection
therewith, we recorded a non-recurring, pre-tax loss of $207 million during
the fourth quarter of 2000, net of an $82 million tax benefit which we have
recorded as a deferred tax asset, because for income tax purposes, the
acquisition is recorded as an asset that will be amortized over the remaining
term of the leases. In addition, the existing working capital of the
respective hotels, valued at $90 million as of December 31, 2000, including
the existing obligations under the working capital note, was transferred from
Crestline to the TRS. Crestline remains the lessee of one of our full-service
properties. The transaction simplifies our corporate structure, enables us to
better control our portfolio of hotels, and is expected to be accretive to
future earnings and cash flows, as the lessee entities have recorded
substantial earnings and cash flow in 2000 and 1999, although there can be no
guarantee that such results will continue. The TRS will pay rent to us, and
will be obligated to the managers for the fees and costs reimbursements under
the management agreements. On a consolidated basis, our results of operations
beginning in 2001 will reflect the revenues and expenses generated by these
hotels rather than rental income.

The economic trends affecting the hotel industry and the overall economy
will be a major factor in generating growth in hotel revenues, and the
abilities of the managers will also have a material impact on future hotel
level sales and operating profit growth. Our hotel properties may be impacted
by inflation through its effect on increasing costs, as well as recent
increases in energy costs. Unlike other real estate, hotels have the ability
to change room rates on a daily basis, so the impact of higher inflation often
can be passed on to customers, particularly in the transient segment. However,
an economic downturn may affect the managers' ability to increase room rates.
Through our strategic restructuring of our balance sheet, nearly 95% of our
debt bears interest at fixed rates, which mitigates the impact of rising
interest rates.

We endeavor to selectively acquire upscale and luxury full service hotel
lodging properties that complement our existing portfolio of high-end hotels.
Based upon data provided by Smith Travel Research, we believe that our full
service hotels outperform the industry's average occupancy rate by a
significant margin, averaging 77.5% and 77.7% occupancy for fiscal years 2000
and 1999 compared to a 70.5% and 68.8% average occupancy for our competitive
set for 2000 and 1999, respectively. "Our competitive set" refers to hotels in
the upscale and luxury full service segment of the lodging industry, the
segment which is most representative of our full service hotels, and consists
of Crowne Plaza; Doubletree; Hyatt; Hilton; Radisson; Renaissance; Sheraton;
Westin; and Wyndham.

The relatively high occupancy rates of our hotels, along with increased
demand for full-service hotel rooms, have allowed the managers of our hotels
to increase average daily room rates by selectively raising room rates for
certain types of bookings and by minimizing, in specified cases, discounted
group business, replacing it with higher-rate group and transient business.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, as a percentage of total rooms sold,
transient business comprised 59%, group business comprised 38%, and contract
business comprised less than 3%. As a result, on a comparable basis, room
revenue per available room ("REVPAR") for our full-service properties
increased approximately 6.6% in 2000.

In addition to external growth generated by new acquisitions, we intend to
aggressively manage our existing assets by carefully and periodically
reviewing our portfolio to identify opportunities to selectively enhance
operating performance through major capital improvements.

Business Strategy

Our primary business objective is to provide superior total returns to our
shareholders through a combination of distributions, appreciation in net asset
value per unit, and growth in FFO per unit. In order to achieve this objective
we employ the following strategies:

. acquire existing upscale and luxury full-service hotels as market
conditions permit, including Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels and other
hotels operated by leading management companies such as Four

3


Seasons, Hyatt, and Hilton which satisfy our investment criteria, which
acquisitions may be completed through various means including transactions
where we are already a partner, public and private portfolio transactions,
and by entering into joint ventures when we believe our return on
investment will be maximized by doing so;

. complete the development of our existing pipeline, including the 295-
room Ritz-Carlton, Naples, Golf Resort, the 50,000 square-foot spa also
at the Ritz-Carlton, Naples, and the 200-room expansion of the Memphis
Marriott, as well as selectively expand existing properties and develop
new upscale and luxury full-service hotels, operated by leading
management companies, which satisfy our investment criteria and employ
transaction structures which mitigate our risk;

. maximize the value of our existing portfolio through aggressive asset
management, including completing selective capital improvements and
expansions that are designed to increase gross hotel sales or improve
operations; and

. regenerate capital through opportunistic asset sales and selectively
dispose of noncore assets, including older assets with significant
capital needs, assets that are at risk given potential new supply, or
assets in slower-growth markets.

The availability of suitable acquisition candidates that complement our
portfolio of high-end hotels has been limited recently due to market
conditions. Most products in the market consist of smaller, suburban hotels,
and as many luxury hotel owners are choosing to hold on to their assets at
this time, competition for the limited number of available properties in the
top markets has caused them to be generally not price competitive. However, we
believe that acquisitions that meet our stringent criteria will provide the
highest and best use of our capital as they become available.

Our acquisition strategy focuses on the upscale and luxury full-service
segments of the market, which we believe will continue to offer opportunities
over time to acquire assets at attractive multiples of cash flow and at
discounts to replacement value. Our acquisition criteria continues to focus
on:

. properties in difficult to duplicate locations with high costs to
prospective competitors, such as hotels located in urban, airport and
resort/convention locations;

. premium brand names, such as Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons,
Hilton, and Hyatt;

. underperforming hotels which can be improved by conversion to high
quality brands; and

. properties which are operated by leading management companies such as
Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Hilton, and Hyatt.

In recent years, we have increased our pool of potential acquisition
candidates to include select non-Marriott and non-Ritz-Carlton branded hotels
which offer long-term growth potential, have high quality managers and are
consistent with the overall quality of our portfolio. For example, in December
1998 we acquired a portfolio of hotels consisting of two Ritz-Carlton, two
Four Seasons, one Grand Hyatt, three Hyatt Regency and four Swissotel
properties.

Our current portfolio of hotels are operated under the Marriott, Ritz-
Carlton, Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt and Swissotel brand names. In general,
based upon data provided by Smith Travel Research, we believe that these
premium brands have consistently outperformed the industry. Demonstrating the
strength of our portfolio, our comparable properties, consisting of 118
hotels, owned directly or indirectly by us for the entire 2000 and 1999 fiscal
years, respectively (excluding one property that sustained substantial fire
damage during 2000, two properties where significant expansion at the hotels
affected operations, and the Tampa Waterside Marriott, which opened in
February 2000), generated a 32% and 33% REVPAR premium over our competitive
set for fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Based on the strength of our portfolio of premium hotels, management
anticipates that any additional full service properties acquired in the future
and converted from other brands to one of our premium brands should

4


achieve increases in occupancy rates and average room rates as the properties
begin to benefit from brand name recognition, and national reservation systems
and group sales organizations. Since the beginning of fiscal year 1994, we
have acquired 15 hotels that we have converted to premium brands.

We believe we are well qualified to pursue our acquisition and development
strategy. Management has extensive experience in acquiring and financing
lodging properties and believes its industry knowledge, relationships and
access to market information provide a competitive advantage with respect to
identifying, evaluating and acquiring hotel assets.

Our asset management team, which is comprised of professionals with
exceptional industry knowledge and relationships, focuses on maximizing the
value of our existing portfolio through (i) monitoring property and brand
performance; (ii) pursuing expansion and repositioning opportunities; (iii)
overseeing capital expenditure budgets and forecasts; (iv) assessing return on
investment expenditure opportunities; and (v) analyzing competitive supply
conditions in each market.

In September 1999, the board of directors of Host REIT approved the
repurchase, from time to time on the open market and/or in privately
negotiated transactions, of up to 22 million of the outstanding shares of Host
REIT's common stock, OP Units, or Host REIT's Convertible Preferred Securities
convertible into a like number of shares of its common stock. Through March
2000, we spent, in the aggregate, approximately $150 million, $62 million in
2000, on repurchases for a total reduction of 16.2 million equivalent units on
a fully diluted basis. We have not made any repurchases since that time, but
will continue to evaluate the repurchase program based on changes in market
conditions and Host REIT's stock price.

The REIT Conversion

During 1998, Host Marriott and its subsidiaries and affiliates consummated
a series of transactions in order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes. As a result of these transactions, the hotels formerly owned by Host
Marriott and its subsidiaries and other affiliates are now owned by us and our
subsidiaries, we and our subsidiaries leased substantially all of these hotels
to Crestline Capital Corporation, and Marriott International and other hotel
operators conducted the day to day management of the hotels pursuant to
management agreements with Crestline. Host REIT has elected to be treated as a
REIT for federal income tax purposes effective January 1, 1999. The important
transactions comprising the REIT conversion are summarized below.

During 1998, Host Marriott reorganized its hotels and certain other assets
so that they were owned by us and our subsidiaries. Host Marriott and its
subsidiaries received a number of OP Units equal to the number of then
outstanding shares of Host Marriott common stock, and we and our subsidiaries
assumed substantially all of the liabilities of Host Marriott and its
subsidiaries. As a result of this reorganization and the related transactions
described below, Host REIT is our sole general partner and as of December 31,
2000 held approximately 78% of the outstanding OP Units. We and our
subsidiaries conduct the hotel ownership business. OP Units owned by holders
other than Host REIT are redeemable at the option of the holder, generally
commencing one year after the issuance of their OP Units. Upon redemption of
an OP Unit, the holder would receive from us cash in an amount equal to the
market value of one share of Host REIT common stock. However, in lieu of a
cash redemption by us, we have the right to acquire any OP Unit offered for
redemption directly from the holder thereof in exchange for either one share
of Host REIT common stock or cash in an amount equal to the market value of
one share of Host REIT common stock. On February 7, 2001, certain limited
partners converted 12.5 million OP Units to Host REIT common shares and
immediately sold them to an underwriter for sale on the open market. As a
result, Host REIT now owns approximately 82% of the outstanding OP Units.

In connection with the REIT conversion, two taxable corporations were
formed in which we own approximately 95% of the economic interest but none of
the voting interest. We refer to these two subsidiaries as the non-controlled
subsidiaries. The non-controlled subsidiaries hold various assets and related
liabilities totaling $354 million and $245 million, respectively, at December
31, 2000, which were originally contributed by Host Marriott and its
subsidiaries to us, but whose direct ownership by us or our subsidiaries
generally would

5


jeopardize Host REIT's status as a REIT and our status as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes. These assets primarily consist of controlling
interests in partnerships or other interests in three full-service hotels
which are not leased, and specified furniture, fixtures and equipment--also
known as FF&E--used in the hotels. We have no control over the operation or
management of the hotels or other assets owned by the non-controlled
subsidiaries. The Host Marriott Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust acquired
all of the voting common stock of each non-controlled subsidiary,
representing, in each case, the remaining approximately 5% of the total
economic interests in each non-controlled subsidiary. The beneficiaries of the
Employee/Charitable Trust are a trust formed for the benefit of specified
employees of the operating partnership and the J. Willard and Alice S.
Marriott Foundation. During February 2001, the Board of Directors of Host REIT
approved the acquisition by our TRS of the interests in the non-controlled
subsidiaries held by the Host Marriott Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust for
approximately $2 million in cash. If the transaction is consummated, and there
can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated, on a
consolidated basis our results of operations will reflect the revenues and
expenses generated by the two taxable corporations, our consolidated balance
sheets will include various assets and related liabilities held by the two
taxable corporations. Approximately $26 million of the subsidiaries' debt
principal matures during 2001. In addition, we will consolidate three
additional full-service properties, one located in Missouri, and two located
in Mexico City, Mexico.

Under the terms of the leases, the lessees pay rent to us and our
subsidiaries generally equal to the greater of (1) a specified minimum rent or
(2) rent based on specified percentages of different categories of aggregate
sales at the relevant hotels. Generally, there is a separate lessee for each
hotel property or there is a separate lessee for each group of hotel
properties that has separate mortgage financing or has owners in addition to
us and wholly owned subsidiaries. The lessees for all but four of our hotels
are limited liability companies, formerly wholly-owned subsidiaries of
Crestline, each of whose purpose is limited to acting as lessee under an
applicable lease. The limited liability company agreements provide that the
lessee has full control over the management of the business of the lessee,
except with respect to certain decisions for which the consent of other
members or the hotel manager is required. In addition, Marriott International
or its appropriate subsidiary has a non-economic voting interest on specific
matters pertaining to hotels managed by Marriott International or its
subsidiaries.

The leases, through the sales percentage rent provisions, are designed to
allow us and our subsidiaries that own our properties to participate in any
growth above specified levels in room sales at the hotels, which management
expects can be achieved through increases in room rates and occupancy levels.
Although the economic trends affecting the hotel industry will be the major
factor in generating growth in revenues, the abilities of the lessees and the
managers will also have a material impact on future sales growth. In 2001,
with 116 of our full-service hotels leased to our wholly-owned TRS, any
increases in future earnings and cash flows at the hotels will have a direct,
positive effect on our consolidated earnings and cash flows. Our leases have
terms ranging from seven to ten years.

In December 1999, the REIT Modernization Act was enacted, with most
provisions effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000,
which significantly amends the REIT laws applicable to us and Host REIT. Under
the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by the REIT
Modernization Act, and the corresponding regulations that govern the federal
income tax treatment of REITs and their shareholders, a REIT must meet certain
tests regarding the nature of its income and assets, as follows.

Qualification of an entity as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Beginning January
1, 2001, a REIT is permitted to own up to 100% of the voting stock of one or
more taxable REIT subsidiaries subject to limitations on the value of those
subsidiaries. The rents received from such subsidiaries will not be
disqualified from being "rents from real property" by reason of the operating
partnership's ownership interest in the subsidiary so long as the property is
operated on behalf of the taxable REIT subsidiary by an "eligible independent
contractor." This enables us to lease our hotels to wholly-owned taxable
subsidiaries if the hotels are operated and managed on behalf of such
subsidiaries by an independent third party. Under the REIT Modernization Act,
taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal income tax.

Income tests applicable to REITs. In order to maintain qualification as a
REIT, two gross income requirements must be satisfied on an annual basis.

6


. At least 75% of gross income, excluding gross income from prohibited
transactions, must be derived directly or indirectly from investments
relating to real property, including "rents from real property", gains
on the disposition of real estate, dividends paid by another REIT and
interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on
interests in real property, or from some types of temporary investments.

. At least 95% of gross income, excluding gross income from prohibited
transactions, must be derived from any combination of income qualifying
under the 75% test, dividends, interest, some payments under hedging
instruments, and gain from the sale or disposition of stock or
securities, including some hedging instruments.

Rents received from a TRS will qualify as "rents from real property" as
long as the leases are true leases and the property is a qualified lodging
facility operated by an eligible independent contractor. If rent attributable
to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property is
greater than 15% of the total rent received under the lease (based on relative
fair market values), then the portion of rent attributable to such personal
property will not qualify as "rents from real property."

Asset tests applicable to REITs. At the close of each quarter of its
taxable year, a REIT must satisfy four tests relating to the nature of its
assets.

. At least 75% of the value of total assets must be represented by real
estate assets. Our real estate assets include, for this purpose, our
allocable share of real estate assets held by the operating partnership
and its non-corporate subsidiaries, as well as stock or debt instruments
held for less than one year purchased with the proceeds of a stock or
long-term debt offering, cash and government securities.

. No more than 25% of total assets may be represented by securities other
than those in the 75% asset class.

. Of the investments included in the 25% asset class, the value of any one
issuer's securities may not exceed 5% of total assets, and a REIT may
not own more than 10% of either the outstanding voting securities or the
value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. Beginning in
2001, this limit does not apply to securities of a TRS.

. Not more than 20% of total assets may be represented by securities of
taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Recent Acquisitions, Developments and Dispositions

The pace of acquisitions changed significantly in 2000 and 1999 from the
previous years. After three years of acquisitions numbering 36, 17, and 24
full service hotels for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, our recent
acquisitions were limited due to the availability of suitable acquisition
candidates that complement our portfolio of high-end hotels, increased price
competition and capital limitations due to weak equity markets for REIT
stocks. We believe that acquisitions that meet our stringent criteria will
provide the highest and best use of our capital. Future acquisitions are
likely to be either public or private portfolio transactions, and transactions
where we already hold minority partnership interests. In addition, we believe
we can successfully add properties to our portfolio through partnership
arrangements with either the seller of the property or the incoming managers.

During 2000, we acquired a non-controlling partnership interest in the 772-
room J.W. Marriott Hotel in Washington, D.C. in which we already held a 17%
limited partner interest for $40 million and have the option to purchase an
additional 44% limited partnership interest. During 1999, our acquisitions
were limited to the acquisition of minority interests in two hotels, where we
had previously acquired the controlling interests, for a total consideration
of approximately $14 million. We have the financial flexibility and, due to
our existing private partnership investment portfolio, the administrative
infrastructure in place to accommodate such arrangements. We view this ability
as a competitive advantage and expect to enter into similar arrangements to
acquire additional properties in the future.

7


Also during 2000, we, through our affiliates, formed a joint venture with
Marriott International, the "Courtyard Joint Venture," to acquire the
partnership interests in Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership and
Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership for an aggregate payment of
approximately $372 million plus interest and legal fees, of which we paid
approximately $79 million. The Courtyard Joint Venture acquired 120 Courtyard
by Marriott properties totaling 17,554 rooms. The joint venture financed the
acquisition with mezzanine indebtedness borrowed from Marriott International
and with cash and other assets contributed by our affiliates and Marriott
International. The investment was consummated pursuant to a litigation
settlement involving the two limited partnerships, in which we, through our
affiliates, served as general partner, rather than as a strategic initiative.

During 2000, we focused our energies on increasing the value of our current
portfolio with selective investments, expansions and new developments. We plan
to complete our current pipeline of development activity, and selectively
expand existing properties and develop new upscale and luxury full-service
hotels that complement our quality portfolio in the future. We intend to
target only development projects that show promise of providing financial
returns that represent a premium to returns from acquisitions. The largest of
our recent development projects has been the construction of a 717-room full
service Marriott hotel adjacent to the convention center in downtown Tampa,
Florida. The hotel, which was completed and opened for business on February
19, 2000, includes 45,000 square feet of meeting space, three restaurants and
a 30 slip marina as well as many other amenities. The total development cost
of the property was approximately $104 million, excluding a $16 million tax
subsidy provided by the City of Tampa.

At the Orlando Marriott, the addition of a 500-room tower and 15,000 square
feet of meeting space was placed in service in June 2000 at an approximate
development cost of $88 million, making it the largest hotel in the Marriott
system with 2000 rooms. We also have renovated the golf course, added a multi-
level parking deck, and upgraded and expanded several restaurants.

Also under development is a 50,000 square-foot world-class spa at the Ritz-
Carlton, Naples, at an estimated development cost of $23 million, scheduled
for completion in March 2001. A 295-room Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples is
in process approximately 2 miles from the Ritz-Carlton, Naples, at an
estimated development cost of $75 million, with expected completion during the
fourth quarter of 2001. The golf resort will also host 15,000 square-feet of
meeting space, four food and beverage outlets, and full access to 36 holes of
a Greg Norman designed golf course surrounding the hotel. The newly created
golf resort, as well as the new spa facility will operate in concert with the
463-room Ritz-Carlton, Naples and on a combined basis will offer travelers an
unmatched resort experience. Further, given the close proximity of the
properties to each other, we will benefit from cost efficiencies and the
ability to capture larger groups.

We expect to begin a 200-room expansion of the Memphis Marriott, which is
located adjacent to a newly-renovated convention center. The property was
converted to the Marriott brand upon acquisition in 1998 to capitalize on
Marriott's brand name recognition. The project is expected to be completed in
2002 at a total development cost of approximately $16 million.

Also during 2000, we focused on aggressively managing our existing assets,
including completing approximately $21 million in projects that are expected
to provide internal rates of return in excess of 24%. Major projects completed
during the year include a renovation of the guest rooms and public space at
the Boston Marriott Newton, a conversion of a rooftop ballroom to high-end
catering and meeting space at the Marina Beach Marriott, and a conversion of
lounge space to flexible meeting space at the Ft. Lauderdale Marina Marriott.

We also accomplished various projects to enhance revenues, control
expenses, and enhance technology at the hotels. During 2000, we added
approximately 36,000 square feet of meeting space and 200 premium-priced rooms
to the portfolio, and approved new parking contracts at four of our
properties. We authorized utility conservation efforts including energy
management strategies at five properties, the closing of several unprofitable
food and beverage outlets, and the development of a program to review labor
models. We also approved internet

8


connectivity solutions and in-room portal and entertainment options to better
meet the technology needs of our customers.

Through subsidiaries we currently own four Canadian properties, with 1,636
rooms. International acquisitions are limited due to the difficulty in meeting
our stringent return criteria. However, we intend to continue to evaluate
acquisition opportunities in Canada and other international locations. The
overbuilding and economic stress experienced in some European and Pacific Rim
countries may eventually lead to additional international acquisition
opportunities. We will acquire international properties only when we believe
such acquisitions achieve satisfactory returns after adjustments for currency
and country risks.

We will also consider from time to time selling hotels that do not fit our
long-term strategy, or otherwise meet our ongoing investment criteria,
including for example, hotels in some suburban locations, hotels that require
significant future capital improvement and other underperforming assets. The
net proceeds from any such sales will be reinvested in upscale and luxury
hotels more consistent with our strategy or otherwise applied in a manner
consistent with our investment strategy (which may include the purchase of
securities) at the time of sale. We did not dispose of any hotels during 2000.

Hotel Lodging Industry

The lodging industry posted moderate gains in 2000 and 1999 as higher
average daily rates drove strong increases in REVPAR, which measures daily
room revenues generated on a per room basis. This does not include food and
beverage or other ancillary revenues generated by the property. REVPAR
represents the product of the average daily room rate charged and the average
daily occupancy achieved. Previously, the upper upscale sector of the lodging
industry benefited from a favorable supply/demand imbalance, driven in part by
low construction levels combined with high gross domestic product, or GDP,
growth. However, during 1998 through 2000, supply moderately outpaced demand,
causing slight declines in occupancy rates in the sector in which we operate.

According to Smith Travel Research, occupancy in our brands' competitive
set consisting of Crowne Plaza; Doubletree; Hyatt; Hilton; Radisson;
Renaissance; Sheraton; Westin; and Wyndham increased 2.5% for the year ended
December 31, 2000. Within our competitive set, the slight increase in
occupancy during 2000 was reinforced by a 5.0% increase in average daily rate
which generated a 7.4% increase in REVPAR.

The current amount of excess supply growth in the upper-upscale and luxury
portions of the full-service segment of the lodging industry is beginning to
moderate and has been much less severe than that experienced in the lodging
industry in other economic downturns, in part because of the greater financial
discipline and lending practices imposed by financial institutions and public
markets today relative to those during the late 1980's.

The occupancy rates and average daily rates commanded by our properties
have exceeded both the industry as a whole and the upper-upscale and luxury
full service segment. The attractive locations of our hotels, the limited
availability of new building sites for new construction of competing full
service hotels, and the lack of availability of financing for new full service
hotels has allowed us to maintain REVPAR and average daily rate premiums over
our competitors in these service segments. For our comparable hotels, average
daily rates increased 6.3% in 2000. The increase in average daily rate helped
generate a strong increase in comparable hotel

9


REVPAR of 6.6% for the same period. Furthermore, because our lodging
operations have a high fixed-cost component, increases in REVPAR generally
yield greater percentage increases in our earnings and cash flows. As a result
of our acquisition of the Crestline Lessee Entities with respect to 116 of our
full-service hotels, effective January 1, 2001 any change in earnings and cash
flow levels at those properties (which formerly were leased to Crestline) will
have a direct effect on our consolidated earnings and cash flows.

The relative balance between supply and demand growth may be influenced by
a number of factors including growth of the economy, interest rates, unique
local considerations and the relatively long lead time to develop urban,
convention and resort hotels. We believe that growth in room supply in upper-
upscale sector in which we operate will continue to exceed room demand growth
through 2001. However, we believe that during 2001 and 2002, supply growth
will begin to decrease, as the lack of availability of development financing
slows new construction. We further believe that demand growth will begin to
increase during 2001 and 2002. However, some economists are predicting an
economic slowdown in 2001, which could lead to substantial decreases in
demand. There can be no assurance that growth in supply will decrease, or that
REVPAR and EBITDA will continue to improve.

Hotel Lodging Properties

Our lodging portfolio, as of March 12, 2001, consists of 122 upscale and
luxury full service hotels containing approximately 58,000 rooms. Our hotel
lodging properties represent quality upscale and luxury assets in the full
service segment. Our hotel properties are currently operated under various
premium brands including Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt,
and Swissotel brand names.

Our hotels average approximately 478 rooms. Thirteen of our hotels have
more than 750 rooms. Hotel facilities typically include meeting and banquet
facilities, a variety of restaurants and lounges, swimming pools, gift shops
and parking facilities. Our hotels primarily serve business and pleasure
travelers and group meetings at locations in urban, airport, resort convention
and suburban locations throughout the United States. The properties are
generally well situated in locations where there are significant barriers to
entry by competitors including downtown areas of major metropolitan cities, at
airports and resort/convention locations where there are limited or no
development sites. The average age of the properties is 17 years, although
many of the properties have had substantial renovations or major additions.

To maintain the overall quality of our lodging properties, each property
undergoes refurbishments and capital improvements on a regularly scheduled
basis. Typically, refurbishing has been provided at intervals of five years,
based on an annual review of the condition of each property. For fiscal years
2000, 1999 and 1998 we spent $230 million, $197 million and $165 million,
respectively, on capital improvements to existing properties. As a result of
these expenditures, we expect to maintain high quality rooms, restaurants and
meeting facilities at our properties.

In addition to acquiring and maintaining superior assets, a key part of our
strategy is to have the hotels managed by leading management companies. As of
March 12, 2001, 100 of our 122 hotel properties were managed by subsidiaries
of Marriott International as Marriott or Ritz-Carlton brand hotels and an
additional nine hotels are part of Marriott International's full-service hotel
system through franchise agreements. The remaining hotels are managed by
leading management companies including Four Seasons, Hilton, and Hyatt. Our
properties have reported annual increases in REVPAR since 1993. Based upon
data provided by Smith Travel Research, our comparable properties, as
previously defined, have an approximate 5 and 6 percentage point occupancy
premium and an approximate 32% and 33% REVPAR premium over the competitive set
for fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively.

During 2000 and 1999, our foreign operations consisted of four full-service
hotel properties located in Canada. During 1998, our foreign operations
consisted of the four full-service properties in Canada as well as two full-
service properties in Mexico. During 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively, 98%,
98%, and 97% of total revenues were attributed to sales within the United
States, and 2%, 2%, and 3% of total revenues were attributed to foreign
countries.

11


Prior to 1997, we divested certain limited-service hotel properties through
the sale and leaseback of 53 Courtyard properties and 18 Residence Inn
properties. The Courtyard and Residence Inn properties are subleased to
subsidiaries of Crestline under sublease agreements and are managed by
Marriott International under long-term management agreements. During 2000,
limited-service properties represented less than 1% of our EBITDA
from hotel properties. Lease revenues for the 71 properties that we sub-lease
are reflected in our revenues in 2000 and 1999, while gross property-level
sales were reflected previous to that.

During 2000, the Courtyard Joint Venture, which was formed by us (through
our non-controlled subsidiary) and Marriott International, acquired the
partnership interests in Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership and
Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership, which collectively own 120
Courtyard by Marriott properties totaling 17,554 rooms. We own, through our
affiliates, a 50% non-controlling interest in the joint venture.

The following table sets forth the location and number of rooms of our 122
hotels as of March 1, 2001. All of the properties are currently leased to our
wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, unless otherwise indicated.

Investments in Affiliated Partnerships

We also maintain investments in several partnerships that own hotel
properties. Typically, we and certain of our subsidiaries manage our
partnership investments and through a combination of general and limited
partnership interests, conduct the partnership services business. As
previously discussed, during 2000 we acquired a non-controlling interest in
the partnership that owns the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Washington, D.C. In
connection with the REIT conversion, Rockledge Hotel Properties and Fernwood
Hotel Assets were formed as non-controlled subsidiaries to hold various
assets, the direct ownership of which by us or the operating partnership could
jeopardize Host REIT's status as a REIT or our treatment as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2000, substantially all of our
general and limited partner interests in partnerships owning 208 limited-
service properties (including nearly all of our interests in the Courtyard
Joint Venture) and four full-service hotels were held by our two non-
controlled subsidiaries.

The partnership hotels are currently operated under management agreements
with Marriott International or its subsidiaries. As the general partner, we
oversee and monitor Marriott International and its subsidiaries' performance
pursuant to these agreements. Additionally, we are responsible for the payment
of partnership obligations from partnership funds, preparation of financial
reports and tax returns and communications with lenders, limited partners and
regulatory bodies. As the general partner, we are reimbursed for the cost of
providing these services subject to limitations in certain cases. Cash
distributions provided from these partnerships are tied to the overall
performance of the underlying properties and the overall level of debt.
Distributions from these partnerships to us were $1.3 million in 2000 and $2
million in 1998. There were no distributions in 1999. All debt of these
partnerships is nonrecourse to us and our subsidiaries, except that we are
contingently liable under various guarantees of debt obligations of certain of
the limited-service partnerships.

Marketing

As of March 1, 2001, 100 of our 122 hotel properties are managed by
subsidiaries of Marriott International as Marriott or Ritz-Carlton brand
hotels and an additional nine hotels are part of Marriott International's
full-service hotel system through franchise agreements. The remaining hotels
are managed primarily by Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt, and Swissotel.

13


We believe that our properties will continue to enjoy competitive
advantages arising from their participation in the Marriott, Ritz-Carlton,
Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt and Swissotel hotel systems. The national
marketing programs and reservation systems of each of these managers, as well
as the advantages of strong customer preference for these upper-upscale and
luxury brands should also help these properties to maintain or increase their
premium over competitors in both occupancy and room rates. Repeat guest
business is enhanced by guest rewards programs offered by Marriott, Ritz-
Carlton, Hilton, Hyatt, and Swissotel. Each of the managers maintains national
reservation systems that provide reservation agents with complete descriptions
of the rooms available and up-to-date rate information from the properties.
Our website (www.hostmarriott.com) currently permits users to connect to the
Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt, and Swissotel reservation
systems to reserve rooms in our hotels.

Competition

Our hotels compete with several other major lodging brands in each segment
in which they operate. Competition in the industry is based primarily on the
level of service, quality of accommodations, convenience of locations and room
rates. Although the competitive position of each of our hotel properties
differs from market to market, we believe that our properties compare
favorably to their competitive set in the markets in which they operate on the
basis of these factors. The following table presents key participants in
segments of the lodging industry in which we compete:



Segment Representative Participants
------- ---------------------------

Luxury Full-Service................. Ritz-Carlton; Four Seasons
Upscale Full-Service................ Crown Plaza; Doubletree; Hyatt; Hilton;
Marriott Hotels, Resort and Suites;
Radisson; Renaissance; Sheraton;
Swissotel; Westin; Wyndham


Seasonality

Our hotel revenues have traditionally experienced significant seasonality.
Additionally, hotel revenues in the fourth quarter reflect sixteen weeks of
results compared to twelve weeks for the first three quarters of the fiscal
year. Average hotel sales by quarter over the years 1998 through 2000 for our
lodging properties are as follows:



First Quarter Second Quarter Third Quarter Fourth Quarter
------------- -------------- ------------- --------------

22% 24% 22% 32%


Other Real Estate Investments

We have lease and sublease activity relating primarily to Host Marriott's
former restaurant operations. Additionally, we have lease activity related to
certain office space that we own in Atlanta, Chicago, and San Francisco which
is included in other revenues in our statements of operations.

Employees

Currently, we have approximately 201 management employees, and
approximately 14 other employees who are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement that is subject to review and renewal on a regular basis. We believe
that we and our managers have good relations with labor unions and have not
experienced any material business interruptions as a result of labor disputes.

Environmental and Regulatory Matters

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic

14


substances on, under or in such property. Such laws may impose liability
whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the
presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain
environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability
for release of asbestos-containing materials, and third parties may seek
recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury
associated with exposure to released asbestos-containing materials.
Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which
property may be used or business may be operated, and these restrictions may
require expenditures. In connection with our current or prior ownership or
operation of hotels, we may be potentially liable for any such costs or
liabilities. Although we are currently not aware of any material environmental
claims pending or threatened against us, we can offer no assurance that a
material environmental claim will not be asserted against us.

The Management Agreements

All of our hotels are subject to management agreements for the operation of
the properties. The original terms of the management agreements are generally
15 to 20 years in length with multiple optional renewal terms. The following
is a brief summary of the general terms of the management agreements a form of
which has been filed with the Commission.

The lessees lease the hotels from us or our subsidiaries. Upon leasing the
hotels, the lessees assumed substantially all of the obligations of such
subsidiaries under the management agreements between those entities and other
companies that currently manage the hotels. As a result of their assumptions
of obligations under the management agreements, the lessees have substantially
all of the rights and obligations of the "owners" of the hotels under the
management agreements for the period during which the leases are in effect
(including the obligation to pay the management fees and other fees
thereunder) and hold the lessor harmless with respect thereto. The lessors
remain liable for all obligations under the management agreements. As
previously discussed, effective January 1, 2001, the lessor leases 116 of our
full-service hotels to subsidiaries of a wholly-owned TRS. Therefore, through
our wholly-owned subsidiary, we have assumed the rights and obligations of the
"owners" under the management agreements with respect to the 116 hotels.

. General. Under each management agreement the manager provides complete
management services to the applicable lessees in connection with its
management of such lessee's hotels.

. Operational services. The managers are responsible for the activities
necessary for the day-to-day operation of the hotels, including
establishment of all room rates, the processing of reservations,
procurement of inventories, supplies and services, periodic inspection
and consultation visits to the hotels by the managers' technical and
operational experts and promotion and publicity of the hotels. The
manager receives compensation from the lessee in the form of a base
management fee and an incentive management fee, which are normally
calculated as percentages of gross revenues and operating profits,
respectively.

. Executive supervision and management services. The managers provide
all managerial and other employees for the hotels; review the operation
and maintenance of the hotels; prepare reports, budgets and
projections; provide other administrative and accounting support
services, such as planning and policy services, financial planning,
divisional financial services, risk planning services, product planning
and development, employee planning, corporate executive management,
legislative and governmental representation and certain in-house legal
services; and protect trademarks, trade-names and service marks. The
manager also provides a national reservations system.

. Chain services. The management agreements require the manager to
furnish chain services that are furnished generally on a central or
regional basis. Such services include: (1) the development and
operation of computer systems and reservation services, (2)
administrative services, marketing and sales services, training
services, manpower development and relocation costs of personnel and
(3) such additional central services as may from time to time be more
efficiently performed on a group level. Costs and expenses incurred in
providing such services are required to be allocated among all hotels
managed by the manager or its affiliates and each applicable lessee is
required to reimburse the manager for its allocable share of such costs
and expenses.

15


. Working capital and fixed asset supplies. The lessee is required to
maintain working capital for each hotel and fund the cost of fixed
asset supplies, which principally consist of linen and similar items.
The applicable lessee also is responsible for providing funds to meet
the cash needs for the operations of the hotels if at any time the
funds available from operations are insufficient to meet the financial
requirements of the hotels.

. Use of affiliates. The manager employs the services of its affiliates
to provide certain services under the management agreements.

FF&E replacements. The management agreements generally provide that once
each year the manager will prepare a list of FF&E to be acquired and certain
routine repairs that are normally capitalized to be performed in the next year
and an estimate of the funds necessary therefor. Under the terms of the
leases, the lessor is required to provide to the applicable lessee all
necessary FF&E for the operation of the hotels (including funding any required
FF&E replacements). For purposes of funding the FF&E replacements, a specified
percentage (generally 5%) of the gross revenues of the hotel is deposited by
the manager into a book entry account. These amounts are treated under the
leases as paid by the lessees to the lessor and will be credited against their
rental obligations.

Under each lease, the lessor is responsible for the costs of FF&E
replacements and for decisions with respect thereto (subject to its
obligations to the lessee under the lease).

. Building alterations, improvements and renewals. The management
agreements require the manager to prepare an annual estimate of the
expenditures necessary for major repairs, alterations, improvements,
renewals and replacements to the structural, mechanical, electrical,
heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing and vertical
transportation elements of each hotel. Such estimate must be submitted
to the lessor and the lessee for their approval. In addition to the
foregoing, the management agreements generally provide that the manager
may propose such changes, alterations and improvements to the hotel as
are required, in the manager's reasonable judgment, to keep the hotel
in a competitive, efficient and economical operating condition or in
accordance with Marriott standards. The cost of the foregoing is paid
from the FF&E reserve account; to the extent that there are
insufficient funds in such account, the lessor is required to pay any
shortfall.

. Service marks. During the term of the management agreements, the
service mark, symbols and logos currently used by the manager and its
affiliates, may be used in the operation of the hotels. Marriott
International, Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt, and Swissotel intend to
retain their legal ownership of these marks. Any right to use the
service marks, logo and symbols and related trademarks at a hotel will
terminate with respect to that hotel upon termination of the management
agreement with respect to such hotel.

. Termination fee. Certain of the management agreements provide that if
the management agreement is terminated prior to its full term due to
casualty, condemnation or the sale of the hotel, the manager would
receive a termination fee as specified in the specific management
agreement. Under the leases, the responsibility for the payment of any
such termination fee as between the lessee and the lessor depends upon
the cause for such termination.

. Termination for failure to perform. Most of the management agreements
may be terminated based upon a failure to meet certain financial
performance criteria, subject to the manager's right to prevent such
termination by making specified payments to the lessee based upon the
shortfall in such criteria.

. Assignment of management agreements. The management agreements
applicable to each hotel have been assigned to the applicable lessee
for the term of the lease of such hotel. As previously discussed,
virtually all of our full-service hotels were leased to Crestline
during 1999 and 2000, and are now leased to subsidiaries of our wholly-
owned TRS as a result of our acquisition of the Crestline Lessee
Entities during January 2001. The lessee is obligated to perform all of
the obligations of the lessor under the management agreement during the
term of its lease, other than specified retained obligations including,
without limitation, payment of real property taxes, property casualty
insurance and ground rent, and maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E
replacements and capital expenditures, for which the lessor retains

16


responsibility. Although the lessee has assumed obligations of the lessor
under the management agreement, the lessor is not released from its
obligations and, if the lessee fails to perform any obligations, the
manager will be entitled to seek performance by or damages from the
lessor. If the lease is terminated for any reason, any new or successor
lessee must meet certain requirements for an approved lessee or otherwise
be acceptable to the manager.

Non-competition agreements

We agreed with Crestline that until December 31, 2003, we would not
purchase, finance or otherwise invest in senior living communities, or act as
an agent or consultant with respect to any of the foregoing activities, except
for acquisitions of communities which represent an immaterial portion of a
merger or similar transaction or for minimal portfolio investments in other
entities. In connection with the acquisition of the Crestline Lessee Entities,
the non-competition agreement was terminated effective January 1, 2001 and
thereafter.

We agreed with Marriott International that until June 21, 2007, we would
not operate, manage or franchise (as franchisor) senior living facilities or
invest, finance or act as an agent or consultant with respect to any of the
foregoing activities, except for acquisitions of entities engaged in such
operating, management or franchising activities if such activities are
terminated or divested within 12 months of such acquisition or for minimal
portfolio investments in such entities and except for operating or managing
senior living facilities for a transitional period or up to 12 months in
connection with a change in the operator or manager of such facility.

Risk Factors

The following risk factors should be carefully considered by prospective
investors.

Risks relating to redemption of OP Units

A holder who redeems OP Units may have adverse tax effects. A holder of OP
Units who redeems OP Units will be treated for tax purposes as having sold the
OP Units. The sale will be taxable and the holder will be treated as realizing
an amount equal to the sum of the value of the common stock or cash the holder
receives plus the amount of operating partnership nonrecourse liabilities
allocable to the redeemed OP Units. It is possible that the amount of gain the
holder recognizes could exceed the value of the common stock the holder
receives. It is even possible that the tax liability resulting from this gain
could exceed the value of the common stock or cash the holder receives.

If a holder of OP Units redeems OP Units, the original receipt of the OP
Units may be subject to tax. If a holder of OP Units redeems OP Units,
particularly within two years of receiving them, there is a risk that the
original receipt of the OP Units may be treated as a taxable sale under the
"disguised sale" rules of the Internal Revenue Code. Subject to several
exceptions, the tax law generally provides that a partner's contribution of
property to a partnership and a simultaneous or subsequent transfer of money
or other consideration from the partnership to the partner will be presumed to
be a taxable sale. In particular, if money or other consideration is
transferred by a partnership to a partner within two years of the partner's
contribution of property, the transactions are presumed to be a taxable sale
of the contributed property unless the facts and circumstances clearly
establish that the transfers are not a sale. On the other hand, if two years
have passed between the original contribution of property and the transfer of
money or other consideration, the transactions will not be presumed to be a
taxable sale unless the facts and circumstances clearly establish that they
should be.

Differences between an investment in shares of common stock and OP Units
may affect redeeming holders of OP Units. If a holder of OP Units elects to
redeem OP Units, we will determine whether the holder receives cash or shares
of our common stock in exchange for the OP Units. Although an investment in
shares of our common stock is substantially similar to an investment in OP
Units, there are some differences between

17


ownership of OP Units and ownership of common stock. These differences include
form of organization, management structure, voting rights, liquidity and
federal income taxation, some of which may be material to investors.

There are possible differing fiduciary duties of Host Marriott, as the
general partner, and the Board of Directors of Host Marriott. Host Marriott,
as the general partner of the operating partnership, and the Board of
Directors of Host Marriott, respectively, owe fiduciary duties to their
constituent owners. Although some courts have interpreted the fiduciary duties
of the Board of Directors in the same way as the duties of a general partner
in a limited partnership, it is unclear whether, or to what extent, there are
differences in such fiduciary duties. It is possible that the fiduciary duties
of the directors of Host Marriott to the shareholders may be less than those
of Host Marriott, as the general partner of the operating partnership, to the
holders of OP Units.

Risks of ownership of Host REIT common stock

There are limitations on the acquisition of Host REIT common stock and
changes in control. The charter and bylaws of Host REIT, our partnership
agreement, Host REIT's shareholder rights plan and the Maryland General
Corporation Law contain a number of provisions that could delay, defer or
prevent a transaction or a change in control of Host REIT that might involve a
premium price for Host REIT's shareholders or otherwise be in their best
interests, including the following:

Ownership limit. The 9.8% ownership limit described under "--There are
possible adverse consequences of limits on ownership of our common stock"
below may have the effect of precluding a change in control of Host REIT by
a third party without the consent of Host REIT's Board of Directors, even
if such change in control would be in the interest of Host REIT's
shareholders, and even if such change in control would not reasonably
jeopardize Host REIT's REIT status.

Staggered board. Host REIT's charter provides that Host REIT's Board of
Directors will consist of nine members and can be increased or decreased
after that according to Host REIT's bylaws, provided that the total number
of directors is not less than three nor more than 13. Pursuant to Host
REIT's bylaws, the number of directors will be fixed by Host REIT's Board
of Directors within the limits in Host REIT's charter. Host REIT's Board of
Directors is divided into three classes of directors. Directors for each
class are chosen for a three-year term when the term of the current class
expires. The staggered terms for directors may affect Host REIT
shareholders' ability to effect a change in control of Host REIT, even if a
change in control would be in the interest of Host REIT's shareholders.
Currently, there are nine directors.

Removal of board of directors. Host REIT's charter provides that, except
for any directors who may be elected by holders of a class or series of
shares of capital stock other than Host REIT's common stock, directors may
be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of Host REIT
shareholders holding at least two-thirds of Host REIT's outstanding shares
entitled to be cast for the election of directors. Vacancies on the Board
of Directors may be filled by the concurring vote of a majority of the
remaining directors and, in the case of a vacancy resulting from the
removal of a director by the shareholders, by at least two-thirds of all
the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors.

Preferred shares; classification or reclassification of unissued shares
of capital stock without shareholder approval. Host REIT's charter provides
that the total number of shares of stock of all classes which Host REIT has
authority to issue is 800,000,000, initially consisting of 750,000,000
shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which
8,160,000 have been issued. Host REIT's Board of Directors has the
authority, without a vote of its shareholders, to classify or reclassify
any unissued shares of stock, including common stock into preferred stock
or vice versa, and to establish the preferences and rights of any preferred
or other class or series of shares to be issued. The issuance of preferred
shares or other shares having special preferences or rights could delay or
prevent a change in control even if a change in control would be in the
interests of Host REIT's shareholders. Because Host REIT's Board of
Directors has the power to establish the preferences and rights of
additional classes or series of shares without a shareholder vote, Host
REIT's Board of Directors may give the holders of any class or series
preferences, powers and rights, including voting rights, senior to the
rights of holders of Host REIT's common stock.

18


Consent rights of the limited partners. Under our partnership agreement,
Host REIT generally will be able to merge or consolidate with another
entity with the consent of partners holding percentage interests that are
more than 50% of the aggregate percentage interests of the outstanding
limited partnership interests entitled to vote on the merger or
consolidation, including any limited partnership interests held by Host
REIT, as long as the holders of limited partnership interests either
receive or have the right to receive the same consideration as Host REIT
shareholders. Host REIT, as holder of a majority of the limited partnership
interests, would be able to control the vote. Under Host REIT's charter,
holders of at least two-thirds of Host REIT's outstanding shares of common
stock generally must approve the merger or consolidation.

Maryland business combination law. Under the Maryland General
Corporation Law, specified "business combinations," including specified
issuances of equity securities, between a Maryland corporation and any
person who owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation's then
outstanding shares, or an "interested shareholder," or an affiliate of the
interested shareholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent
date in which the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder.
Thereafter, any such business combination must be approved by 80% of
outstanding voting shares, and by two-thirds of voting shares other than
voting shares held by an interested shareholder unless, among other
conditions, the corporation's common shareholders receive a minimum price,
as defined in the Maryland General Corporation Law, for their shares and
the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously
paid by the interested shareholder. Host REIT is subject to the Maryland
business combination statute.

Maryland control share acquisition law. Under the Maryland General
Corporation Law, "control shares" acquired in a "control share acquisition"
have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds
of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares owned by
the acquiror and by officers or directors who are employees of the
corporation. "Control shares" are voting shares which, if aggregated with
all other such shares previously acquired by the acquiror or in respect of
which the acquiror is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting
power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the
acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the
following ranges of voting power: (1) one-fifth or more but less than one-
third, (2) one-third or more but less than a majority or (3) a majority or
more of the voting power. Control shares do not include shares the
acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously
obtained shareholder approval. A "control share acquisition" means the
acquisition of control shares, subject to specified exceptions. Host REIT
is subject to these control share provisions of Maryland law, subject to an
exemption for Marriott International pursuant to its purchase right. See
"Risks of ownership of our common stock--Marriott International purchase
right."

Merger, consolidation, share exchange and transfer of Host REIT's
assets. Pursuant to Host REIT's charter, subject to the terms of any
outstanding class or series of capital stock, Host REIT can merge with or
into another entity, consolidate with one or more other entities,
participate in a share exchange or transfer our assets within the meaning
of the Maryland General Corporation Law if approved (1) by Host REIT's
Board of Directors in the manner provided in the Maryland General
Corporation Law and (2) by Host REIT's shareholders holding two-thirds of
all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, except that any merger of
Host REIT with or into a trust organized for the purpose of changing its
form of organization from a corporation to a trust requires only the
approval of Host REIT's shareholders holding a majority of all votes
entitled to be cast on the merger. Under the Maryland General Corporation
Law, specified mergers may be approved without a vote of shareholders and a
share exchange is only required to be approved by a Maryland corporation by
its Board of Directors. Host REIT's voluntary dissolution also would
require approval of shareholders holding two-thirds of all the votes
entitled to be cast on the matter.

Amendments to Host REIT's charter and bylaws. Host REIT's charter
contains provisions relating to restrictions on transferability of Host
REIT's common stock, the classified Board of Directors, fixing the size of
Host REIT's Board of Directors within the range set forth in Host REIT's
charter, removal of directors and the filling of vacancies, all of which
may be amended only by a resolution adopted by the

19


Board of Directors and approved by Host REIT's shareholders holding two-
thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. As permitted under
the Maryland General Corporation Law, Host REIT's charter and bylaws
provide that directors have the exclusive right to amend Host REIT's
bylaws. Amendments of this provision of Host REIT's charter also would
require action of Host REIT's Board of Directors and approval by
shareholders holding two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the
matter.

Marriott International purchase right. As a result of our spin-off of
Marriott International in 1993, Marriott International has the right to
purchase up to 20% of each class of Host REIT's outstanding voting shares
at the then fair market value when specific change of control events
involving Host REIT occur, subject to specified limitations to protect Host
REIT's REIT status. The Marriott International purchase right may have the
effect of discouraging a takeover of Host REIT, because any person
considering acquiring a substantial or controlling block of Host REIT's
common stock will face the possibility that its ability to obtain or
exercise control would be impaired or made more expensive by the exercise
of the Marriott International purchase right.

Shareholder rights plan. Host REIT adopted a shareholder rights plan
which provides, among other things, that when specified events occur, their
shareholders will be entitled to purchase from Host REIT a newly created
series of junior preferred shares, subject to Host REIT's ownership limit
described below. The preferred share purchase rights are triggered by the
earlier to occur of (1) ten days after the date of a public announcement
that a person or group acting in concert has acquired, or obtained the
right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of Host REIT's
outstanding shares of common stock or (2) ten business days after the
commencement of or announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or
exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in the acquiring
person becoming the beneficial owner of 20% or more of Host REIT's
outstanding common stock. The preferred share purchase rights would cause
substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire Host
REIT on terms not approved by Host REIT's Board of Directors.

There are possible adverse consequences of limits on ownership of Host REIT
common stock. To maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes, not more than 50% in value of Host REIT's outstanding shares of
capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer
individuals, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include some entities.
In addition, a person who owns, directly or by attribution, 10% or more of an
interest in a tenant of Host REIT, or a tenant of any partnership in which
Host REIT is a partner, cannot own, directly or by attribution, 10% or more of
Host REIT's shares without jeopardizing Host REIT's qualification as a REIT.
Primarily to facilitate maintenance of Host REIT's qualification as a REIT for
federal income tax purposes, the ownership limit under Host REIT's charter
prohibits ownership, directly or by virtue of the attribution provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code, by any person or persons acting as a group, of more
than 9.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Host REIT's common stock,
subject to an exception for shares of Host REIT's common stock held prior to
the REIT conversion so long as the holder would not own more than 9.9% in
value of Host REIT's outstanding shares after the REIT conversion, and
prohibits ownership, directly or by virtue of the attribution provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code, by any person, or persons acting as a group, of
more than 9.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of any class or series of
Host REIT's preferred shares. Together, these limitations are referred to as
the "ownership limit." Host REIT's Board of Directors, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may waive or modify the ownership limit with respect to
one or more persons who would not be treated as "individuals" for purposes of
the Internal Revenue Code if it is satisfied, based upon information required
to be provided by the party seeking the waiver and upon an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to Host REIT's Board of Directors, that ownership in excess of
this limit will not cause a person who is an individual to be treated as
owning shares in excess of the ownership limit, applying the applicable
constructive ownership rules, and will not otherwise jeopardize Host REIT's
status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes (for example, by causing any
of Host REIT's tenants to be considered a "related party tenant" for purposes
of the REIT qualification rules). Common stock acquired or held in violation
of the ownership limit will be transferred automatically to a trust for the
benefit of a designated charitable beneficiary, and the person who acquired
such common stock in violation of the ownership limit will not be entitled to
any

20


distributions thereon, to vote such shares of common stock or to receive any
proceeds from the subsequent sale thereof in excess of the lesser of the price
paid therefor or the amount realized from such sale. A transfer of shares of
Host REIT's common stock to a person who, as a result of the transfer,
violates the ownership limit may be void under certain circumstances, and, in
any event, would deny that person any of the economic benefits of owning
shares of Host REIT's common stock in excess of the ownership limit. The
ownership limit may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control and, therefore, could adversely affect the shareholders'
ability to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for Host
REIT's common stock in connection with such transaction.

We depend on external sources of capital for future growth. As with other
REITs, but unlike corporations generally, Host REIT's and our ability to
reduce our debt and finance our growth largely must be funded by external
sources of capital because Host REIT generally will have to distribute to its
shareholders 90% of its taxable income in order to qualify as a REIT,
including taxable income where it does not receive corresponding cash. For
taxable years prior to January 1, 2001, Host REIT was required to distribute
95% of its taxable income to qualify as a REIT. Our access to external capital
will depend upon a number of factors, including general market conditions, the
market's perception of our growth potential, our current and potential future
earnings, cash distributions and the market price of Host REIT's common stock.
Currently, our access to external capital has been limited to the extent that
Host REIT's common stock is trading at what we believe is a discount to its
estimated net asset value.

Shares of Host REIT common stock that are or become available for sale
could affect the price for shares of Host REIT common stock. Sales of a
substantial number of shares of Host REIT's common stock, or the perception
that sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for
Host REIT's common stock. In addition, holders of our outside OP Units, who
redeem their OP Units and receive common stock will be able to sell such
shares freely, unless the person is our affiliate and resale of such
affiliate's shares is not covered by an effective registration statement.
There are currently approximately 50.7 million outside OP Units outstanding,
all of which are currently redeemable. Further, a substantial number of shares
of Host REIT's common stock have been and will be issued or reserved for
issuance from time to time under our employee benefit plans, including shares
of Host REIT's common stock reserved for options, and these shares of common
stock would be available for sale in the public markets from time to time
pursuant to exemptions from registration or upon registration. Moreover, the
issuance of additional shares of Host REIT's common stock by us in the future
would be available for sale in the public markets. We can make no prediction
about the effect that future sales of Host REIT's common stock would have on
the market price of Host REIT's common stock.

Host REIT's earnings and cash distributions will affect the market price of
shares of Host REIT common stock. We believe that the market value of a REIT's
equity securities is based primarily upon the market's perception of the
REIT's growth potential and its current and potential future cash
distributions, whether from operations, sales, acquisitions, development or
refinancings, and is secondarily based upon the value of the underlying
assets. For that reason, shares of Host REIT's common stock may trade at
prices that are higher or lower than the net asset value per share. To the
extent we retain operating cash flow for investment purposes, working capital
reserves or other purposes rather than distributing such cash flow to Host
REIT's shareholders, these retained funds, while increasing the value of our
underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase the market price of Host
REIT's common stock. Host REIT's failure to meet the market's expectation with
regard to future earnings and cash distributions would likely adversely affect
the market price of Host REIT's common stock.

Market interest rates may affect the price of shares of Host REIT's common
stock. One of the factors that investors consider important in deciding
whether to buy or sell shares of a REIT is the distribution rate on such
shares, considered as a percentage of the price of such shares, relative to
market interest rates. If market interest rates increase, prospective
purchasers of REIT shares may expect a higher distribution rate. Thus, higher
market interest rates could cause the market price of Host REIT's shares to go
down.

21


Risks of operation

We do not control our hotel operations, and we are dependent on the
managers of our hotels. Because federal income tax laws currently restrict
REITs and "publicly traded" partnerships from deriving revenues directly from
operating a hotel, we do not manage our hotels. Instead, we retain managers to
manage our hotels pursuant to management agreements. Our income from the
hotels may be adversely affected if the managers fail to provide quality
services and amenities and competitive room rates at our hotels or fail to
maintain the quality of the hotel brand names. While we employ very aggressive
asset management techniques to oversee the managers' performance, we have
limited specific recourse if we believe that the hotel managers do not
maximize the revenues from our hotels or control expenses, which in turn will
maximize our results of operations and EBITDA on a consolidated basis.

Our relationship with Marriott International may result in conflicts of
interest. Marriott International, a public hotel management company, manages a
significant number of our hotels. In addition, Marriott International manages
and in some cases may own or be invested in hotels that compete with our
hotels. As a result, Marriott International may make decisions regarding
competing lodging facilities which it manages that would not necessarily be in
our best interests. J.W. Marriott, Jr. is a member of our Board of Directors
and his brother, Richard E. Marriott, is our Chairman of the Board. Both J.W.
Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott serve as directors, and J.W. Marriott,
Jr. also serves as an officer, of Marriott International. J.W. Marriott, Jr.
and Richard E. Marriott beneficially own, as determined for securities law
purposes, as of January 31, 2001, approximately 12.6% and 12.2%, respectively,
of the outstanding shares of common stock of Marriott International. As a
result, J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott have potential conflicts of
interest as our directors when making decisions regarding Marriott
International, including decisions relating to the management agreements
involving the hotels and Marriott International's management of competing
lodging properties.

Both our Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of Marriott
International follow appropriate policies and procedures to limit the
involvement of Messrs. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott in conflict
situations, including requiring them to abstain from voting as directors of
either us or Marriott International or our or their subsidiaries on matters
which present a conflict between the companies. If appropriate, these policies
and procedures will apply to other directors and officers.

We have substantial indebtedness. Our degree of leverage could affect our
ability to:

. obtain financing in the future for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general business
purposes;

. undertake financings on terms and conditions acceptable to us;

. pursue our acquisition strategy; or

. compete effectively or operate successfully under adverse economic
conditions.

If our cash flow and working capital are not sufficient to fund our
expenditures or service our indebtedness, we would have to raise additional
funds through:

. the sale of equity;

. the refinancing of all or part of our indebtedness;

. the incurrence of additional permitted indebtedness; or

. the sale of assets.

We cannot assure you that any of these sources of funds would be available
in amounts sufficient for us to meet our obligations or fulfill our business
plans. Additionally, our debt contains performance related covenants that, if
not achieved, could require immediate repayment of our debt or significantly
increase the rate of interest on our debt.

22


There is no limitation on the amount of debt we may incur. There are no
limitations in our organizational documents or the operating partnership's
organizational documents that limit the amount of indebtedness that we may
incur. However, our existing debt instruments contain restrictions on the
amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, we could incur
indebtedness to the extent permitted by our debt agreements. If we became more
highly leveraged, our debt service payments would increase and our cash flow
and our ability to service our debt and make distributions to our shareholders
would be adversely affected.

Our management agreements could impair the sale or other disposition of our
hotels. Under the terms of the management agreements, we generally may not
sell, lease or otherwise transfer the hotels unless the transferee assumes the
related management agreements and meets specified other conditions. Our
ability to finance, refinance or sell any of the properties may, depending
upon the structure of such transactions, require the manager's consent. If the
manager did not consent, we would be prohibited from financing, refinancing or
selling the property without breaching the management agreement.

The acquisition contracts relating to some hotels limit our ability to sell
or refinance those hotels. For reasons relating to federal income tax
considerations of the former owners of some of our hotels, we agreed to
restrictions on selling some hotels or repaying or refinancing the mortgage
debt on those hotels for varying periods depending on the hotel. We anticipate
that, in specified circumstances, we may agree to similar restrictions in
connection with future hotel acquisitions. As a result, even if it were in our
best interests to sell or refinance the mortgage debt on these hotels, it may
be difficult or impossible to do so during their respective lock-out periods.

Our ground lease payments may increase faster than the revenues we receive
on the hotels. As of January 31, 2001, we leased 46 of our hotels pursuant to
ground leases. These ground leases generally require increases in ground rent
payments every five years. Our ability to make distributions to shareholders
could be adversely affected to the extent that our revenues do not increase at
the same or a greater rate as the increases under the ground leases. In
addition, if we were to sell a hotel encumbered by a ground lease, the buyer
would have to assume the ground lease, which could result in a lower sales
price. Moreover, to the extent that such ground leases are not renewed at
their expiration, our revenues could be adversely affected.

New acquisitions may fail to perform as expected or we may be unable to
make acquisitions on favorable terms. We intend to acquire additional full-
service hotels. Newly acquired properties may fail to perform as expected,
which could adversely affect our financial condition. We may underestimate the
costs necessary to bring an acquired property up to standards established for
its intended market position. We expect to acquire hotels with cash from
secured or unsecured financings and proceeds from offerings of equity or debt,
to the extent available. We may not be in a position or have the opportunity
in the future to make suitable property acquisitions on favorable terms.
Competition for attractive investment opportunities may increase prices for
hotel properties, thereby decreasing the potential return on our investment.

We may be unable to sell properties when appropriate because real estate
investments are illiquid. Real estate investments generally cannot be sold
quickly. We may not be able to vary our portfolio promptly in response to
economic or other conditions. The inability to respond promptly to changes in
the performance of our investments could adversely affect our financial
condition, and ability to service debt and make distributions to shareholders.
In addition, there are limitations under the federal tax laws applicable to
REITs and agreements that we have entered into when we acquired some of our
properties that may limit our ability to recognize the full economic benefit
from a sale of our assets.

Our revenues and the value of our properties are subject to conditions
affecting the lodging industry. If our assets do not generate income
sufficient to pay our expenses, service our debt and maintain our properties,
we will be unable to make distributions to our shareholders. Our revenues and
the value of our properties are subject to conditions affecting the lodging
industry. These include:

. changes in the national, regional and local economic climate;

23


. local conditions such as an oversupply of hotel properties or a
reduction in demand for hotel rooms;

. the attractiveness of our hotels to consumers and competition from
comparable hotels;

. the quality, philosophy and performance of the managers of our hotels;

. changes in room rates and increases in operating costs due to inflation
and other factors; and

. the need to periodically repair and renovate our hotels.

. Adverse changes in these conditions could adversely affect our
financial performance.

Our expenses may remain constant even if our revenue drops. The expenses of
owning property are not necessarily reduced when circumstances like market
factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the property. If a
property is mortgaged and we are unable to meet the mortgage payments, the
lender could foreclose and take the property. Our financial condition could be
adversely affected by:

. interest rate levels;

. the availability of financing;

. the cost of compliance with government regulation, including zoning and
tax laws; and

. changes in governmental regulations, including those governing usage,
zoning and taxes.

We depend on our key personnel. We depend on the efforts of our executive
officers and other key personnel. While we believe that we could find
replacements for these key personnel, the loss of their services could have a
significant adverse effect on our operations. We do not intend to obtain key-
man life insurance with respect to any of our personnel.

Partnership and other litigation judgments or settlements could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition. We and the operating
partnership are parties to various lawsuits relating to previous partnership
transactions, including the REIT conversion. While we and the other defendants
to such lawsuits believe all of the lawsuits in which we are a defendant are
without merit and we are vigorously defending against such claims, we can give
no assurance as to the outcome of any of the lawsuits. In connection with the
REIT conversion, the operating partnership has assumed all liability arising
under legal proceedings filed against us and will indemnify us as to all such
matters. If any of the lawsuits were to be determined adversely to us or
settlement involving a payment of a material sum of money were to occur, there
could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We may acquire hotel properties through joint ventures with third parties
that could result in conflicts. Instead of purchasing hotel properties
directly, we may invest as a co-venturer. Joint venturers often share control
over the operation of the joint venture assets. Actions by a co-venturer could
subject the assets to additional risk, including:

. our co-venturer in an investment might have economic or business
interests or goals that are inconsistent with our interests or goals;

. our co-venturers may be in a position to take action contrary to our
instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives; or

. a joint venture partner could go bankrupt, leaving us liable for its
share of joint venture liabilities.

Although we generally will seek to maintain sufficient control of any joint
venture to permit our objectives to be achieved, we might not be able to take
action without the approval of our joint venture partners. Also, our joint
venture partners could take actions binding on the joint venture without our
consent.

Environmental problems are possible and can be costly. We believe that our
properties are in compliance in all material respects with applicable
environmental laws. Unidentified environmental liabilities could arise,
however, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
and performance. Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the
protection of the environment may require a current

24


or previous owner or operator of real estate to investigate and clean up
hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at the property.
The owner or operator may have to pay a governmental entity or third parties
for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by the
parties in connection with the contamination. These laws typically impose
clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or
operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants. Even if more than
one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each person
covered by the environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the
clean-up costs incurred. In addition, third parties may sue the owner or
operator of a site for damages and costs resulting from environmental
contamination emanating from that site. Environmental laws also govern the
presence, maintenance and removal of asbestos. These laws require that owners
or operators of buildings containing asbestos properly manage and maintain the
asbestos, they notify and train those who may come into contact with asbestos
and they undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement,
if asbestos would be disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building.
These laws may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators who
fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek
recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure
to asbestos fibers.

Compliance with other government regulations can also be costly. Our hotels
are subject to various forms of regulation, including Title III of the
Americans with Disabilities Act, building codes and regulations pertaining to
fire safety. Compliance with those laws and regulations could require
substantial capital expenditures. These regulations may be changed from time
to time, or new regulations adopted, resulting in additional or unexpected
costs of compliance. Any increased costs could reduce the cash available for
servicing debt and making distributions to our shareholders.

Some potential losses are not covered by insurance. We carry comprehensive
liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss, for rental losses
extending up to 12 months, insurance with respect to all of our hotels. We
believe the policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are of
the type customarily carried for similar hotels. Some types of losses, such as
from earthquakes and environmental hazards, however, may be either uninsurable
or too expensive to justify insuring against. Should an uninsured loss or a
loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the
capital we have invested in a hotel, as well as the anticipated future revenue
from the hotel. In that event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any
mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property.

Federal income tax risks

General. We believe that Host REIT has been organized and has operated in
such a manner so as to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code,
commencing with the taxable year beginning January 1, 1999. A REIT generally
is not taxed at the corporate level on income it currently distributes to its
shareholders as long as it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income,
excluding net capital gain. No assurance can be provided, however, that Host
REIT will qualify as a REIT or that new legislation, Treasury Regulations,
administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly
change the tax laws with respect to its qualification as a REIT or the federal
income tax consequences of such qualification.

Required distributions and payments. To continue to qualify as a REIT, Host
REIT currently is required each year to distribute to its shareholders at
least 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gain (for taxable years
that ended prior to January 1, 2001, Host REIT was required to distribute at
least 95% of this amount to so qualify). Due to some transactions entered into
in years prior to the REIT conversion, we expect to recognize substantial
amounts of "phantom" income, which is taxable income that is not matched by
cash flow or EBITDA to us. In addition, we will be subject to a 4%
nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions made by
us with respect to the calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our
ordinary income and 95% of our capital gain net income for that year and any
undistributed taxable income from prior periods. Host REIT intends to make
distributions to its shareholders to comply with the distribution requirement
and to avoid the nondeductible excise tax and will rely for this purpose on
distributions from us. However, differences in timing between taxable income
and cash available for distribution due to, among other things, the

25


seasonality of the lodging industry and the fact that some taxable income will
be "phantom" income could require us to borrow funds or Host REIT to issue
additional equity to enable us to meet the distribution requirement and,
therefore, to maintain Host REIT's REIT status, and to avoid the nondeductible
excise tax. We are required to pay, or reimburse Host REIT, as general
partner, for some taxes and other liabilities and expenses that Host REIT
incurs, including all taxes and liabilities attributable to periods and events
prior to the REIT conversion. In addition, because the REIT distribution
requirements prevent Host REIT from retaining earnings, we will generally be
required to refinance debt that matures with additional debt or equity. We
cannot assure you that any of these sources of funds, if available at all,
would be sufficient to meet the distribution and tax obligations.

Adverse consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT. If we fail to
qualify as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax, including any
applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate
rates. In addition, unless entitled to statutory relief, we will not qualify
as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which REIT
qualification is lost. The additional tax burden on us would significantly
reduce the cash available for distribution by us to our shareholders and we
would no longer be required to make any distributions to shareholders. Our
failure to qualify as a REIT could reduce materially the value of our common
stock and would cause any distributions to shareholders that otherwise would
have been subject to tax as capital gain dividends to be taxable as ordinary
income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, or
E&P. However, subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code,
corporate distributees may be eligible for the dividends received deduction
with respect to our distributions. Our failure to qualify as a REIT also would
result in a default under our senior notes and our credit facility.

Our earnings and profits attributable to our non-REIT taxable years. In
order to qualify as a REIT, we cannot have at the end of any taxable year any
undistributed E&P that is attributable to one of our non-REIT taxable years. A
REIT has until the close of its first taxable year as a REIT in which it has
non-REIT E&P to distribute such accumulated E&P. We were required to have
distributed this E&P prior to the end of 1999, the first taxable year for
which our REIT election was effective. If we failed to do this, we will be
disqualified as a REIT at least for taxable year 1999. We believe that
distributions of non-REIT E&P that we made were sufficient to distribute all
of the non-REIT E&P as of December 31, 1999, but there could be uncertainties
relating to the estimate of our non-REIT E&P and the value of the Crestline
stock that we distributed to our shareholders. Therefore, we cannot guarantee
that we met this requirement.

Treatment of leases. To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy two gross income
tests, under which specified percentages of our gross income must be passive
income, like rent. For the rent paid pursuant to the leases, which constitutes
substantially all of our gross income, to qualify for purposes of the gross
income tests, the leases must be respected as true leases for federal income
tax purposes and not be treated as service contracts, joint ventures or some
other type of arrangement. In addition, the lessees must not be regarded as
"related party tenants," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. We believe,
taking into account both the terms of the leases and the expectations that we
and the lessees have with respect to the leases, that the leases will be
respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes. There can be no
assurance, however, that the IRS will agree with this view. If the leases were
not respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes or if the lessees
were regarded as "related party tenants," we would not be able to satisfy
either of the two gross income tests applicable to REITs and we would lose our
REIT status. See "--Adverse consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT"
above.

For our taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2001, as a result
of the REIT Modernization Act, we are permitted to lease our hotels to a
subsidiary of the operating partnership that is taxable as a corporation and
that elects to be treated as a "taxable REIT subsidiary." Accordingly,
effective January 1, 2001, HMT Lessee, a newly created, wholly owned
subsidiary of the operating partnership, directly or indirectly acquired all
but one of the full-service hotel leasehold interests formerly held by
Crestline. So long as HMT Lessee and other affiliated lessees qualify as
taxable REIT subsidiaries of ours, they will not be treated as "related party
tenants." We believe that HMT Lessee qualifies to be treated as a taxable REIT
subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.

26


We cannot assure you, however, that the IRS will not challenge its status as a
taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes, or that a court would
not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in disqualifying HMT
Lessee from treatment as a taxable REIT subsidiary, we would fail to meet the
asset tests applicable to REITs and substantially all of our income would fail
to qualify for the gross income tests and, accordingly, we would cease to
qualify as a REIT. See "--Adverse consequences of our failure to qualify as a
REIT" above.

Other tax liabilities; our substantial deferred and contingent tax
liabilities. Notwithstanding our status as a REIT, we are subject, through our
ownership interest in the operating partnership, to certain federal, state and
local taxes on our income and property. In addition, we will be required to
pay federal tax at the highest regular corporate rate, currently 35%, upon our
share of any "built-in gain" recognized as a result of any sale before January
1, 2009, by the operating partnership of assets, including the hotels, in
which interests were acquired by the operating partnership from our
predecessor and its subsidiaries as part of the REIT conversion. Built-in gain
is the amount by which an asset's fair market value exceeded our adjusted
basis in the asset on January 1, 1999, the first day of our first taxable year
as a REIT. At the time of the REIT conversion, we expected that we or a non-
controlled subsidiary likely would recognize substantial built-in gain and
deferred tax liabilities in the next ten years without any corresponding
receipt of cash by us or the operating partnership. We recognized a
substantial amount of these built-in gains and deferred tax liabilities in
1999 and paid tax thereon at the applicable corporate rates. Accordingly, our
potential tax exposure on these gains and deferred liabilities for the future
is significantly less than it was at the time of our REIT conversion. In
addition, because not all states treat REIT's the same as they are treated for
federal income tax purposes, we may have to pay certain state income taxes,
notwithstanding our status as a REIT. The operating partnership is obligated
under its partnership agreement to pay all such taxes incurred by us, as well
as any liabilities that the IRS may assert against us for corporate income
taxes for taxable years prior to the time we qualified as a REIT. The non-
controlled subsidiaries and any of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, including
HMT Lessee, are taxable as corporations and will pay federal and state income
tax on their net income at the applicable corporate rates.

The operating partnership's failure to qualify as a partnership. We believe
that the operating partnership qualifies to be treated as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be provided, however, that the
IRS will not challenge its status as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were
successful in treating the operating partnership as a corporation for tax
purposes, we would fail to meet two of the asset tests applicable to REITs
and, accordingly, cease to qualify as a REIT. See "--Adverse consequences of
our failure to qualify as a REIT" above. Also, the imposition of a corporate
tax on the operating partnership would reduce significantly the amount of cash
available for distribution to its limited partners, including us. Finally, the
classification of the operating partnership as a corporation would cause us to
recognize gain at least equal to our "negative capital accounts," and possibly
more, depending upon the circumstances.

REIT Modernization Act changes to the REIT asset tests. Subject to the
exceptions discussed in this paragraph, a REIT is prohibited from owning
securities in any one issuer if the value of those securities exceeds 5% of
the value of the REIT's total assets or the securities owned by the REIT
represent more than 10% of the issuer's outstanding voting securities or, for
taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, more than 10% of the
value of the issuer's outstanding securities. For taxable years beginning on
or after January 1, 2001, as a result of the REIT Modernization Act, a REIT is
permitted to own securities of a subsidiary that exceed the 5% value test and
the 10% vote or value test if the subsidiary elects to be a "taxable REIT
subsidiary," which is taxable as a corporation. However, a REIT may not own
securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries that represent in the aggregate more
than 20% of the value of the REIT's total assets. Effective January 1, 2001,
each of the non-controlled subsidiaries and HMT Lessee has elected to be
treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary.

Several provisions of the REIT Modernization Act ensure that a taxable REIT
subsidiary is subject to an appropriate level of federal income taxation. For
example, a taxable REIT subsidiary is limited in its ability to deduct
interest payments made to an affiliated REIT. In addition, the REIT has to pay
a 100% penalty tax on

27


some payments that it receives if the economic arrangements between the REIT
and the taxable REIT subsidiary are not comparable to similar arrangements
between unrelated parties.

We may be required to pay a penalty tax upon the sale of a hotel. The
federal income tax provisions applicable to REITs provide that any gain
realized by a REIT on the sale of property held as inventory or other property
held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business is
treated as income from a "prohibited transaction" that is subject to a 100%
penalty tax. Under existing law, whether property, including hotels, is held
as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of
business is a question of fact that depends upon all of the facts and
circumstances with respect to the particular transaction. The operating
partnership intends that it and its subsidiaries will hold the hotels for
investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of
acquiring and owning hotels and to make occasional sales of hotels as are
consistent with the operating partnership's investment objectives. We cannot
assure you, however, that the IRS might not contend that one or more of these
sales is subject to the 100% penalty tax, particularly if the hotels that are
sold have been held for a relatively short period of time.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

In connection with the REIT Conversion, we assumed all liability arising
under legal proceedings filed against Host REIT and will indemnify Host REIT
as to all such matters. We believe all of the lawsuits in which we are a
defendant, including the following lawsuits, are without merit and we intend
to defend vigorously against such claims; however, no assurance can be given
as to the outcome of any of the lawsuits.

Marriott Hotel Properties II Limited Partnership (MHP). Limited partners of
MHP II have filed putative class action lawsuits in Palm Beach County Circuit
Court on May 10, 1996, Leonard Rosenblum, as Trustee of the Sylvia Bernice
Rosenblum Trust, et. al. v. Marriott MHP Two Corporation, et. al., Case No.
CL-96-4087-AD, and, in the Delaware Court of Chancery on April 24, 1996, Cary
W. Salter, Jr., et. al. v. MHP II Acquisition Corp., et. al., respectively,
against Host REIT and certain of its affiliates alleging that the defendants
violated their fiduciary duties and engaged in fraud and coercion in
connection with the 1996 tender offer for MHP II units and with our
acquisition of MHP II in connection with the 1998 REIT conversion. The
plaintiffs in these actions are seeking unspecified damages.

In the Florida case, the defendants removed the case to the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Florida and, after hearings on
various procedural motions, the District Court remanded the case to state
court on July 25, 1998. In light of the court's decision in the Delaware case,
detailed below, the defendants in the Florida action filed a supplemental
memorandum in support of their motions to dismiss, and attached a copy of the
Delaware opinion to the memorandum. The Florida court has not yet ruled on the
motions.

In the Delaware case, the Delaware Court of Chancery initially granted the
plaintiffs' motion to voluntarily dismiss the case with the proviso that the
plaintiffs could refile in the aforementioned action in federal court in
Florida. After the District Court's remand of the Florida action back to
Florida state court, two of the three original Delaware plaintiffs asked the
Court of Chancery to reconsider its order granting their voluntary dismissal.
The Court of Chancery refused to allow the plaintiffs to join the Florida
action and, instead, reinstated the Delaware case, now styled In Re Marriott
Hotel Properties II Limited Partnership Unitholders Litigation, Consolidated
Civil Action No. 14961. On January 29, 1999, Cary W. Salter, one of the
original plaintiffs, alone filed an Amended Consolidated Class Action
Complaint in the Delaware action. On January 24, 2000, the Delaware Court of
Chancery issued a memorandum opinion in which the court dismissed all but one
of the plaintiff's claims, which remaining claim concerns the adequacy of
disclosure during the initial tender offer. This claim remains pending.

A subsequent lawsuit, Accelerated High Yield Growth Fund, Ltd., et al. v.
HMC Hotel Properties II Limited Partnership, et. al., C.A. No. 18254NC, was
filed on August 23, 2000 in the Delaware Court of Chancery by the MacKenzie
Patterson group of funds, one of the three original Delaware plaintiffs,
against Host REIT and certain of its affiliates alleging breach of contract,
fraud and coercion in connection with the acquisition of MHP II

28


during the 1998 REIT conversion. The plaintiffs allege that our acquisition of
MHP II by merger in connection with the REIT conversion violated the
partnership agreement and that our subsidiary acting as the general partner of
MHP II breached its fiduciary duties by allowing it to occur. The plaintiffs
in this action are seeking unspecified damages.

Marriott Suites Limited Partnership (MSLP). On December 10, 1999, KSK
Hawaii Co., Ltd. ("KSK"), a limited partner in MSLP, filed a lawsuit, KSK
Hawaii Co., Ltd. v. Marriott SBM One Corporation, et al., Civil Action No.
17657-NC, in the Delaware Court of Chancery. KSK alleges that we and our
subsidiary, the general partner of MSLP, breached fiduciary duties to KSK
through a recapitalization of the partnership in 1996 and through a merger of
the partnership in 1998. KSK contends that it was coerced into selling 19 of
its 20 partnership units in 1996 and that it was further harmed by the 1998
merger, in which its remaining interest in the partnership was eliminated.
KSK's complaint also alleges that the recapitalization and merger involved
fraud and breaches of the partnership agreement. This matter was recently
settled in a manner which will have no material impact on our financial
statements and the lawsuit will be dismissed.

Mutual Benefit Chicago Marriott Suite Hotel Partners, L.P. ("O'Hare
Suites"). On October 5, 2000, Joseph S. Roth and Robert M. Niedelman, limited
partners in O'Hare Suites, filed a putative class action lawsuit, Joseph S.
Roth, et al., v. MOHS Corporation, et al., Case No. 00CH14500, in the Circuit
Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, against Host REIT, Host LP,
Marriott International, and MOHS Corporation, a subsidiary of Host LP and a
former general partner of O'Hare Suites. The plaintiffs allege that an
improper calculation of the hotel manager's incentive management fees resulted
in inappropriate payments in 1997 and 1998, and, consequently, in an
inadequate appraised value for their limited partner units in connection with
the acquisition of O'Hare Suites during the 1998 REIT conversion. The
plaintiffs are seeking damages of approximately $13 million. The defendants
have filed motions to dismiss this case and are awaiting rulings on these
motions.

Tampa Waterside Hotel. On January 23, 2001, Tampa Convention Hotel
Associates, Inc. ("TCHA") filed a lawsuit, Tampa Convention Hotel Associates,
Inc. v. The City of Tampa, Florida, et al., Case No. 01000668, Division G, in
the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, Florida against the City of Tampa
(the "City"), Faison & Associates 2000, L.L.C. ("Faison"), Sodexho Marriott
Services, Inc., f/k/a Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott International"),
Host REIT, and HMC Hotel Development LLC ("HMC Development"). TCHA was one of
several groups who had submitted development proposals in response to the
City's 1995 request for a proposal ("RFP") to develop a convention center
hotel in downtown Tampa. Each of the proposals submitted was ranked under the
terms of the RFP. The City's Hotel Review Committee ranked the TCHA proposal
second, and commenced negotiations with the top-ranked bidder
("Faison/Sheraton"). Faison/Sheraton failed to fulfill certain contingencies
by a May 27, 1997 deadline and the parties terminated their negotiations.

TCHA alleges that it relied on the May 27, 1997 deadline, and that the City
engaged in negotiations with other bidders prior to its expiration to the
detriment of TCHA. On May 29, 1997, the City cancelled the RFP. HMC
Development subsequently entered into development agreements with the City to
develop the convention center hotel in October of 1997, and closed on the
Tampa hotel site in January of 1998.
TCHA is suing the City on promissory estoppel grounds for failing to comply
with the Florida Sunshine Law by conducting private negotiations with the
other defendants. TCHA alleges that the other defendants tortiously interfered
with its business relationship with the City. TCHA is seeking unspecified
actual, compensatory, and special damages. The City, Host REIT, and HMC
Development have filed motions to dismiss this lawsuit. A hearing on these
motions has not yet been set.

PART II

Item 5. Market for our OP Units and related unitholder matters

There is no established public trading market for our OP Units and
transfers of OP Units are restricted by the terms of our partnership
agreements. During 2000, quarterly cash distributions of $0.21, $0.21, $0.23,
and $0.26 per OP Unit were declared on March 23, June 21, September 19, and
December 18, 2000, respectively. The quarterly distributions were subsequently
paid on April 14, July 14, and October 16, 2000, and January 12, 2001. During
1999, a quarterly cash distribution of $0.21 per OP Unit was declared on March
15, June 15, September 23, 1999, and December 20, 1999. The quarterly
distributions were subsequently paid on April 14, July 14, and October 15,
1999, and January 17, 2000.

The number of holders of record of our OP Units on March 12, 2001 was
2,729. The number of outstanding OP Units was 284,705,092 as of March 12,
2001, of which 234,022,707 were owned by Host REIT.

Issuances of Unregistered Securities.

Unless stated otherwise, we acquired interests in partnerships owning hotel
properties in connection with each of the following issuances of unregistered
securities.

On December 30, 1998, we issued 25.8 million OP Units to various limited
partners in the eight public partnership mergers and the four private
partnerships in exchange for their existing partnership interests, which were
valued at approximately $333 million. The issuance of OP Units was made in
reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act pursuant to Section 4(2). The OP Units issued are redeemable for the cash
equivalent of a share of Host REIT's common stock or, at Host REIT's option,
shares of its common stock, beginning on December 30, 1999.

Also on December 30, 1998, we issued approximately 43.9 million OP Units to
the Blackstone Entities in part in exchange for the acquisition of, or
controlling interests in, twelve hotels and one mortgage loan secured by an
additional hotel. We issued approximately 3.8 million additional OP Units on
March 31, 1999 to the Blackstone Entities. The issuance of OP Units was made
in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereunder. The OP Units are
redeemable for the cash equivalent of a share of Host REIT's common stock or,
at Host REIT's option, shares of its common stock.

In December 1998, we issued approximately 205.3 million OP Units to Host
Marriott and its subsidiaries in exchange for substantially all of Host
Marriott's and its subsidiaries' assets (excluding the senior living business
transferred to Crestline) and the assumption of substantially all of their
liabilities. The number of OP Units issued to Host Marriott and its
subsidiaries equalled the number of outstanding shares of Host Marriott's
common stock. The issuance of OP Units was made in reliance on an exemption
from the registration requirements for the Securities Act pursuant to Section
4(2).

In June 1999, we issued approximately 586,000 Class TS cumulative
redeemable preferred OP Units to limited partners of Timewell Group, Ltd. and
Timeport, Ltd for the acquisition of their limited partnership interests in
Times Square Marquis Hotel, L.P., which owns the New York Marriott Marquis
Hotel. The issuance of the preferred OP units was made in reliance on an
exemption from the registration requirements for the Securities Act pursuant
to Section 4(2). The preferred OP Units are redeemable for OP Units one year
from the date of acquisition and are then immediately redeemable for cash, or
at Host REIT's option, common shares of Host REIT. During 2000, the holders
converted of all of the outstanding Class TS preferred OP Units to common OP
Units.

In August 1999, Host REIT issued 4,160,000 shares of Class A cumulative
redeemable preferred stock the proceeds of which were used to purchase
4,160,000 units of Class A cumulative redeemable preferred units.

30


Dividends on the preferred OP Units are payable quarterly in arrears at the
rate of 10% per year. The issuance of the preferred OP Units was made in
reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements for the Securities
Act pursuant to Section 4(2).

In November 1999, Host REIT issued 4,000,000 shares of Class B cumulative
redeemable preferred stock the proceeds of which were used to purchase
4,000,000 units of Class B cumulative redeemable preferred units. Dividends on
the preferred OP Units are payable quarterly in arrears at the rate of 10% per
year. The issuance of the preferred OP Units was made in reliance on an
exemption from the registration requirements for the Securities Act pursuant
to Section 4(2).

In December 1999, we issued approximately 26,000 Class AM cumulative
redeemable preferred OP Units to limited partners of Hopewell Group, Ltd. for
the acquisition of their limited partnership interests in Ivy Street Hotel
Limited Partnership, which indirectly owns the Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel.
The issuance of the preferred OP units was made in reliance on an exemption
from the registration requirements for the Securities Act pursuant to Section
4(2). The preferred OP Units are redeemable for OP Units one year from the
date of acquisition and are then immediately redeemable for cash, or at Host
REIT's option, common shares of Host REIT. During 2000, holders of
approximately 7,000 of the Class AM Preferred OP Units converted to common OP
Units. Two years from the date of acquisition, Host REIT may require the
holders to convert to OP Units.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

The following table presents certain selected historical financial data of
Host Marriott, the predecessor to Host REIT and the Operating Partnership,
which has been derived from Host Marriott's audited consolidated financial
statements for fiscal years 1996, 1997, and 1998, and our audited consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999.

The information contained in the following table for years prior to 1999 is
not comparable to our 2000 and 1999 operations because the historical
information for those years relates to an operating entity which owned and
operated its hotels, while during 1999 and 2000 we owned the hotels but leased
them to third-party lessees, receiving rental payments in connection
therewith. As a result of the acquisition by our wholly-owned taxable REIT
subsidiary of the Crestline entities owning the leasehold interests with
respect to 116 of our full-service hotels, our consolidated operations
beginning January 1, 2001 will present property-level revenues and expenses
rather than rental income from lessees.

- --------
(1) The Internal Revenue Code requires REITs to file their income tax return
on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, in 1998 we changed our fiscal year
end to December 31 for both financial and tax reporting requirements.
Previously, our fiscal year ended on the Friday nearest to December 31.
As a result of this change, the results of operations for 15 hotels not
managed by Marriott International were adjusted in 1998 to include 13
months of operations (December 1997 through December 1998) and therefore
are not comparable to fiscal years 1997 and 1996, each of which included
12 months of operations. The additional month of operations in 1998
increased our revenues by $44 million.
(2) Fiscal year 1996 includes 53 weeks. Fiscal years 1997, 1998, 1999 and
2000 include 52 weeks.
(3) The historical financial data for fiscal years 1998 and 1997 reflect as
discontinued operations our senior living business that we formerly
conducted but disposed of in the spin-off of Crestline as part of the
REIT conversion. We recorded income from the discontinued operations, net
of taxes, of $6 million in fiscal year 1998.
(4) Historical revenues for 2000 and 1999 primarily represent lease income
generated by our leases, primarily with Crestline. Periods prior to 1999
represent gross hotel sales as our leases were not in effect until
January 1, 1999. Revenues for fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996 have also
been adjusted to reclassify interest income as revenue (previously
classified as other income from operations) in order to be consistent
with our 2000 and 1999 statement of operations presentation.

32


(5) During the fiscal year 2000, we recorded an extraordinary loss of $2
million in connection with the renegotiation of the bank credit facility,
an extraordinary gain of $7 million on the extinguishment of $22 million
of the convertible debt obligation to Host REIT, and an extraordinary loss
of $1 million representing the write-off of deferred financing fees in
connection with the repurchase of 0.4 million shares of Host REIT's
Convertible Preferred Securities. In 1999, we recognized a $14 million
extraordinary gain on the renegotiation of the management agreement for
the New York Marriott Marquis, a net extraordinary gain of $5 million
related to the refinancing of the mortgage debt for eight properties, a $2
million extraordinary loss related to prepayments on the bank credit
facility, and a net extraordinary gain of $12 million on the
extinguishment of $53 million of the convertible debt obligation to Host
REIT, including the write-off of deferred financing fees in connection
with the repurchase of 1.1 million shares of Convertible Preferred
Securities. In 1998, we recognized a $148 million extraordinary loss, net
of taxes, on the early extinguishment of debt. In 1997, we recognized a $3
million extraordinary gain, net of taxes, on the early extinguishment of
debt.
(6) Basic earnings (loss) per common unit is computed by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of OP Units outstanding. Diluted
earnings (loss) per common unit is computed by dividing net income (loss)
by the weighted average number of OP Units outstanding plus other dilutive
securities. Diluted earnings (loss) per unit has not been adjusted for the
impact of the Convertible Preferred Securities for 2000, 1999, 1997 and
1996 and for the comprehensive stock plan for 1996, as they are anti-
dilutive.
(7) 2000 cash distributions per OP Unit reflect quarterly cash distributions
of $0.21, $0.21, $0.23,and $0.26 per OP Unit paid on April 14, July 14,
and October 16, 2000, and January 12, 2001, respectively. 1999 cash
distributions per OP Unit reflect a quarterly cash distribution of $0.21
per OP Unit paid on April 14, July 14 and October 15, 1999 and January 17,
2000. 1998 cash distributions per OP Unit reflect the cash portion of a
special distribution paid on February 10, 1999. This special distribution
entitled shareholders of record on December 28, 1998 to elect to receive
either $1.00 in cash or .087 of a share of common stock for each
outstanding share of common stock owned by such shareholder on the record
date. Cash totaling approximately $73 million and approximately 11.5
million Host REIT common shares were subsequently issued during 1999.
(8) Total assets for fiscal year 1997 include $236 million related to net
investment in discontinued operations.
(9) Long-term obligations consist of long term debt (which includes senior
notes, secured senior notes, mortgage debt, other notes, capital lease
obligations, a revolving bank credit facility, and the convertible debt
obligation to Host REIT).

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition

Overview

Host Marriott, L.P. a Maryland corporation formerly named HMC Merger
Corporation operating through an umbrella partnership structure, is the owner
of hotel properties. Host REIT is our sole general partner and operates as a
self-managed and self-administered REIT with its operations conducted solely
through us and our subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2000, Host REIT owned
approximately 78% of our outstanding OP Units. On February 7, 2001, certain
limited partners converted 12.5 million OP Units to Host REIT common shares
and immediately sold them to an underwriter for sale on the open market. As a
result, Host REIT now owns approximately 82% our outstanding OP Units.

As of December 31, 2000, we owned, or had controlling interests in, 122
upscale and luxury, full-service hotel lodging properties generally located
throughout the United States and operated primarily under the Marriott, Ritz-
Carlton, Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt and Swissotel brand names.

In December 1999, the REIT Modernization Act was passed, effective for
taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000, which significantly amends
the REIT laws applicable to us. Prior to that time, REITs were restricted from
deriving revenues directly from the operations of hotels. Thus, during 1999
and 2000 we leased substantially all of our hotels to subsidiaries of
Crestline and other third-party lessees.

Under the REIT Modernization Act, beginning January 1, 2001, (i) we are now
permitted to lease our hotels to a subsidiary that is a taxable corporation
and that elects to be treated as a "taxable REIT subsidiary" rather than to a
third party such as Crestline and (ii) we may own all of the voting stock of
such TRS. Consequently, on November 13, 2000, we executed a definitive
agreement with Crestline to terminate our lease arrangements through the
purchase of the Crestline Lessee Entities that own the leasehold interests
with respect to 116 of our full-service hotels. In connection therewith,
during the fourth quarter of 2000 we recorded a non-recurring, pre-tax loss of
$207 million net of a tax benefit of $82 million which we have recognized as a
deferred tax asset because, for income tax purposes, the acquisition is
recognized as an asset that will be amortized over the remaining term of the
leases. We consummated the transaction effective January 1, 2001. Under the
terms of the transaction, our wholly-owned subsidiary, which will elect to be
treated as a TRS, acquired the Crestline Lessee Entities. Beginning in 2001,
we will recognize the revenues and expenses generated by the hotels subject to
the leases rather than rental income. The transaction simplifies our corporate
structure, enables us to better control our portfolio of hotels, and is
expected to be accretive to our future earnings and cash flows.

During February 2001, the Board of Directors of Host REIT approved the
acquisition by our TRS of the interests in our non-controlled subsidiaries
held by the Host Marriott Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust for
approximately $2 million, which is also permitted as a result of the REIT
Modernization Act. If the transaction is consummated, and there can be no
assurance that it will be consummated, on a consolidated basis our results of
operations will reflect the revenues and expenses generated by the two taxable
corporations, and our consolidated balance sheets will include the various
assets and related liabilities held by the two taxable corporations, which
were $354 million and $245 million as of December 31, 2000. Approximately $26
million of the subsidiaries' debt principal matures during 2001. In addition,
we will consolidate three additional full-service properties, one located in
Missouri, and two located in Mexico City, Mexico.

During the year, we focused on maintaining the strength and flexibility of
our balance sheet in order to allow us the opportunity to selectively choose
investment alternatives that will further enhance shareholder value.

. During 1999 and the first quarter of 2000, our primary use of free cash
flow and asset sales proceeds was the funding of Host REIT's stock
buyback program. In the aggregate, we spent approximately $150 million
for a total reduction of 16.2 million equivalent units on a fully
diluted basis.

. During June 2000, we modified our bank credit facility in order to
provide the company greater financial flexibility. As modified, the
total facility has been permanently reduced to $775 million, and the
original term was extended for two additional years.

34


. In October 2000, we issued $250 million 9 1/4% Series F senior notes due
in 2007, which were exchanged for Series G senior notes in March 2001.

. During March 2001, Host REIT issued 5.2 million shares of 10% Class C
preferred stock, for net proceeds of $125.8 million, and we issued an
equivalent security, the Class C Preferred Limited Partner Units.

We and Marriott International closed on the settlement with plaintiffs to
resolve specific litigation involving seven limited partnerships in which we
acted as general partner. The settlement involved an acquisition during the
fourth quarter of 2000, of the limited partner interests in two partnerships
by a joint venture between one of our affiliates and a subsidiary of Marriott
International, the contribution by our non-controlled subsidiaries of their
general partnership interests in the partnerships and cash payments to
partners in the other five partnerships, in exchange for resolution of claims
against all defendants in all seven partnerships. Our total share of the cash
required to resolve the litigation, including amounts paid by our non-
controlled subsidiary, was approximately $112 million. As a result of the
settlement, we recorded a one-time non-recurring, pre-tax charge of $40
million in the fourth quarter of 1999.

Results of Operations

Our historical revenues for 2000 and 1999 represent rental income on
leases, net gains on property transactions, interest income and equity in
earnings affiliates. Expenses represent specific owner costs including real
estate and property taxes, property insurance and ground and equipment rent.
For 1998, we reported gross property level sales from our hotels and,
accordingly, our expenses included all property level costs including
depreciation, management fees, real and personal property taxes, ground
building and equipment rent, property insurance and other costs. Beginning
January 1, 2001, we will again report the gross property level results from
our hotels as a result of changes in the REIT tax laws and the subsequent
acquisition by the TRS of the Crestline Lessee Entities. As a result, our 2001
results will not be comparable to the historical reported amounts for 2000 and
1999. In order to provide a clearer understanding and comparability of our
results of operations we have presented unaudited pro forma statements of
operations for 2000 and 1999, adjusted to reflect the acquisition of the
Crestline Lessee Entities as if it occurred on January 1, 1999, and a
discussion of the results thereof beginning on page 39 in addition to our
discussion of the historical results.

2000 Compared to 1999 (Historical)

Revenues. Revenues increased $97 million, or 7%, to approximately $1.5
billion for 2000. Gross hotel sales, which is used in the determination of
rental income for 2000, increased $231 million or 5% over 1999 amounts as is
shown in the following table.

====== ======

- --------
(1) Gross hotel sales do not represent our reported revenues for 2000 and
1999, but are used to compute our reported rental income.

Rental income increased $95 million, or 7%, to approximately $1.4 billion
for 2000, primarily driven by the growth in room revenues generated per
available room or REVPAR for comparable properties, completion of the new
Tampa Waterside Marriott in February 2000, and the opening of a 500-room
expansion at the Orlando

35


World Center Marriott in June 2000, partially offset by the sale of five
properties (1,577 rooms) in 1999. REVPAR increased 6.6% to $123.50 for 2000
for comparable properties, which consist of the 118 properties owned, directly
or indirectly, by us for the same period of time in each period covered,
excluding one property that sustained substantial fire damage during 2000, two
properties where significant expansion at the hotels affected operations, and
the Tampa Waterside Marriott, which opened in February 2000. On a comparable
basis, average room rates increased approximately 6.3%, while average
occupancy increased less than one percentage point for 2000.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $38
million or 13% during 2000, reflecting an increase in depreciable assets,
which is primarily the result of capital projects placed in service in 2000,
including the Tampa Waterside Marriott and expansion at the Orlando World
Center Marriott, partially offset by net asset disposals of approximately $174
million in connection with the sale of five hotels during 1999.

Property-level Owner Expenses. Property-level owner expenses primarily
consist of property taxes, insurance, and ground and equipment rent. These
expenses increased $8 million, or 3%, to $272 million for 2000, primarily due
to an increase in ground lease expense, which is commensurate with the
increase in hotel sales, and an increase in equipment rent expense due to
technology initiatives at the hotels during 2000.

Minority Interest. Minority interest expense increased $6 million to $27
million for 2000, primarily reflecting the improved property-level results, as
previously discussed, to include those properties that are not wholly-owned by
us.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased less than 1% to $466 million
in 2000, primarily due to the $75 million reduction in the convertible debt
obligation to Host REIT during the fourth quarter of 1999 and first quarter of
2000, and the decrease in the outstanding balance of the bank credit facility
during 2000 compared to 1999, partially offset by the issuance of the Series F
senior notes in October 2000.

Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses increased $8 million to $42 million
for 2000, resulting primarily from an increase in compensation expense related
to employee stock plans.

Loss on Litigation Settlement. In connection with a proposed settlement for
litigation related to seven limited service partnerships discussed above, we
recorded a non-recurring charge of $40 million during the fourth quarter of
1999.

Lease Repurchase Expense. In connection with the execution of a definitive
agreement with Crestline in November 2000 for the termination of the Crestline
leases through the purchase and sale of the Crestline Lessee Entities by our
TRS for $207 million in cash, we recorded a non-recurring loss provision of
$207 million during the fourth quarter of 2000.

Income Tax Benefit. In connection with the lease repurchase expense
recognized during the fourth quarter of 2000, we recognized an income tax
benefit of $82 million, because for income tax purposes, the acquisition is
recognized as an asset that will be amortized over the remaining term of the
leases. In addition, during 2000 we favorably resolved certain tax
contingencies and reversed $32 million of our net tax liabilities into income
through the tax provision during the year ended December 31, 2000.

Extraordinary Gain (Loss). During 2000, we recorded an extraordinary loss
of approximately $2 million representing the write off of deferred financing
costs and certain fees paid to our lender in connection with the renegotiation
of the bank credit facility

During the first quarter of 2000, we extinguished approximately $22 million
of the convertible debt obligation to Host REIT through the purchase of 0.4
million shares of Host REIT's Convertible Preferred Securities on the open
market. We recorded an extraordinary gain of $7 million on this transaction,
based on the discount at which we purchased the Convertible Preferred
Securities. We also recorded an extraordinary loss of $1 million representing
the write-off of deferred financing costs in connection with the early
extinguishment.

36


In connection with the refinancing of the mortgage and renegotiation of the
management agreement on the New York Marriott Marquis hotel, we recognized an
extraordinary gain of $14 million on the forgiveness of debt in the form of
accrued incentive management fees during 1999.

An extraordinary loss of $3 million representing the write-off of deferred
financing fees occurred in July 1999 when the mortgage debt for eight
properties, including the New York Marriott Marquis hotel, was refinanced. In
connection with this refinancing, the interest rate swap agreements associated
with some of the original debt were terminated and an extraordinary gain of $8
million was recognized.

An extraordinary loss of $2 million representing the write-off of deferred
financing fees occurred during the fourth quarter of 1999 when prepayments
totaling $225 million were made to permanently reduce the outstanding balance
of the term loan portion of the Bank Credit Facility to $125 million.

During the fourth quarter of 1999, we extinguished approximately $53
million of the convertible debt obligation to Host REIT through the purchase
of 1.1 million shares of Host REIT's Convertible Preferred Securities on the
open market. We recorded an extraordinary gain of $14 million on this
transaction, based on the discount at which we purchased the Convertible
Preferred Securities. We also recorded an extraordinary loss of $2 million
representing the write-off of deferred financing fees in connection with the
extinguishment.

Net Income. Our net income in 2000 was $207 million, compared to $285
million in 1999. Basic and diluted earnings per common unit was $.66 and $.65,
respectively, for 2000, compared to $.96 and $.93, respectively, in 1999.

Net Income Available to Common Unitholders. Our net income available to
common unitholders in 2000 was $187 million, compared to $279 million in 1999,
reflecting distributions of $20 million in 2000 on the preferred limited
partner units which were issued during the second half of 1999.

1999 Compared to 1998 (Historical)

Revenues. Revenues decreased $2.2 billion, or 61%, to $1.4 billion for
1999. As discussed above, our revenues and operating profit are not comparable
to prior years, primarily due to the leasing of our hotels as a result of the
REIT conversion. However, gross hotel sales, which is used in the
determination of rental income for 1999, increased $836 million or 24% over
1998 amounts as is shown in the following table. Rental income for 1999 is
computed based on gross hotel sales.

====== ======

- --------
(1) 1999 gross hotel sales do not represent our reported revenues for 1999.
Rather, rental income, which is computed based on gross hotel sales,
represents our reported revenues for 1999.

Lodging results for 1999 were primarily driven by the addition of 36
properties in 1998. The increase in hotel sales also reflects the growth in
room revenues generated per available room or REVPAR. For comparable
properties, REVPAR increased 4.1%, to $115.13 for 1999. On a comparable basis,
average room rates increased approximately 3.8% for the year, while average
occupancy increased less than one percentage point for the year.

37


Interest income decreased $12 million or 24% as a result of a lower level
of cash and marketable securities held during 1999 compared to 1998.

The net gain on property transactions for 1999 primarily represents the $24
million recognized on the sale of five properties, including the sale of the
Ritz-Carlton Boston and the El Paso Marriott during the fourth quarter of
1999.

Expenses. As discussed above, hotel revenues and hotel operating costs are
not comparable with the prior year. The lessee pays specified direct property-
level costs including management fees and we receive a rent payment, which is
generally calculated as a percentage of revenue, subject to a minimum level,
net of certain property-level owner costs. All of these costs were our
expenses in 1998. Property-level owner costs which are comparable, including
depreciation, property taxes, property insurance, ground and equipment rent,
increased 8% to $557 million for 1999 versus 1998, primarily reflecting the
depreciation from 36 properties acquired during 1998.

Minority Interest. Minority interest expense decreased $31 million to $21
million in 1999, primarily reflecting the impact of the consolidation of
partnerships which occurred as part of the REIT conversion.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 40% to $469 million in 1999,
primarily due to the issuance of senior notes, establishment of a new credit
facility and additional mortgage debt on properties acquired in 1998. In
addition, in 1999, we recognized $38 million in interest expense related to
the convertible debt obligation to Host Marriott Corporation, which supports
the dividends paid by Host REIT to holders of the Convertible Preferred
Securities. In 1998, these dividends, totaling $37 million, were a separate
component of expense.

Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses decreased $14 million to $34 million
in 1999, resulting primarily from lower staffing levels after the Crestline
spin-off, lower costs associated with reduced acquisition activity and lower
costs related to various stock compensation plans.

Loss on Litigation. In connection with a proposed settlement for litigation
related to six limited service partnerships we have recorded a one-time, non-
recurring charge of $40 million.

Income from Discontinued Operations. Income from discontinued operations
represents the senior living communities business' results of operations for
1998.

Extraordinary Gain (Loss). In connection with the refinancing of the
mortgage and renegotiation of the management agreement on the New York
Marriott Marquis Hotel, we recognized and extraordinary gain of $14 million on
the forgiveness of debt in the form of accrued incentive management fees.

An extraordinary loss of $3 million representing the write-off of deferred
financing fees occurred in July 1999 when the mortgage debt for eight
properties was refinanced, including the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel. In
connection with this refinancing, the interest rate swap agreements associated
with some of the original debt were terminated and an extraordinary gain of $8
million was recognized.

An extraordinary loss of $2 million representing the write-off of deferred
financing fees occurred during the fourth quarter of 1999 when prepayments
totaling $225 million were made to permanently reduce the outstanding balance
of the term loan portion of the Bank Credit Facility to $125 million.

During the fourth quarter of 1999, we extinguished approximately $53
million of the convertible debt obligation to Host Marriott through the
purchase of 1.1 million shares of Host REIT's Convertible Preferred Securities
on the open market. We recorded an extraordinary gain of $14 million on this
transaction, based on the discount at which we purchased the Convertible
Preferred Securities. We also recorded an extraordinary loss of $2 million
representing the write-off of deferred financing fees in connection with the
early extinguishment.

38


In connection with the purchase of the old senior notes, we recognized an
extraordinary loss of $148 million in the third quarter of 1998, which
represents the bond premium and consent payments totaling approximately $175
million and the write-off of deferred financing fees of approximately $52
million related to the old senior notes, net of taxes.

Net Income (Loss). Our net income in 1999 was $285 million, compared to $47
million in 1998. Basic and diluted earnings per common unit was $.96 and $.93
for 1999, compared to $.22 and $.27 in 1998.

Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Unitholders. Our net income available
to common unitholders in 1999 was $279 million, compared to $47 million in
1998, reflecting dividends of $6 million in 1999 on the Class A and Class B
Preferred Units which were issued during 1999.

2000 Compared to 1999 (Pro Forma)

Because of the significant changes to our corporate structure as a result
of our acquisition of the Crestline Lessee Entities during January 2001,
management believes that a discussion of our pro forma results of operations
is meaningful and relevant to an investor's understanding of our present and
future operations. The pro forma results of operations set forth below are
based on the audited consolidated statements of operations for the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and are only adjusted to reflect the January 2001
acquisition of the Crestline Lessee Entities for $207 million in cash as if
the transaction occurred at the beginning of 1999. The following pro forma
results do not include adjustments for any transactions other than the
Crestline lease repurchase and are not presented in accordance with Article 11
of SEC Regulation S-X.

As a result of the Crestline acquisition, effective January 1, 2001, we
lease 116 of our full-service hotels to our TRS, and therefore, our
consolidated operations with respect to those hotels will represent property-
level revenues and expenses rather than rental income from third-party
lessees. In addition, the net income applicable to the TRS will be subject to
federal and state income taxes. A non-recurring pre-tax loss of $207 million
net of a tax benefit of $82 million that was recorded in our historical
results of operations for the fourth quarter of 2000 is excluded from the pro
forma results of operations for 2000.

The pro forma adjustments to reflect the acquisition of the Crestline
Lessee Entities are as follows:

. record hotel-level revenues and expenses and reduce historical rental
income with respect to the 116 properties;

. reduce historical interest income for amounts related to the working
capital note with Crestline;

. reduce historical equity in earnings of affiliates for interest earned
at our non-controlled subsidiary on the related FF&E loans with
Crestline;

. record interest expense related to the additional borrowings from the 9
1/4% Series F senior notes to fund the $207 million cash payment;

. record the minority interest effect related to the outside ownership in
the operating partnership; and

. record the tax provision attributable to the income of the TRS at an
effective rate of 39.5%.

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to represent
what our results of operations or financial condition would actually have been
if the transaction had in fact occurred at the beginning of 1999, or to
project our results of operations or financial condition for any future
period. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based upon available
information and upon assumptions and estimates that we believe are reasonable
under the circumstances. The following unaudited pro forma financial
information should be read in conjunction with our audited financial
statements contained in this annual report.

Revenues. Revenues increased $274 million, or 7%, to $4.1 billion for 2000
from $3.9 billion for 1999. Our revenue and operating profit were impacted by
improved results for comparable full-service hotel properties, and the
addition of a full-service hotel property, the Tampa Waterside Marriott, and a
significant expansion (500 rooms) at the Orlando World Center Marriott during
2000.

40


Hotel sales, which include room sales, food and beverage sales, and other
ancillary sales such as telephone sales, increased $287 million, or 8%, to
over $3.9 billion in 2000. The strong hotel results reflect the 6.6% REVPAR
increase for our comparable properties and the aforementioned developments
during 2000. Rental income, which primarily represents income on third party
leases with respect to five of our full-service hotels, decreased $10 million
or 5% to $178 million.

Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses principally
consist of property-level operating costs, depreciation, management fees, real
and personal property taxes, ground building and equipment rent, insurance and
certain other costs. Operating costs and expenses increased $229 million to
$3.3 billion for 2000, primarily representing increased hotel operating costs.
Hotel operating costs increased $136 million, or 8% to $1.8 billion for 2000,
which is commensurate with the increase in hotel sales. As a percentage of
hotel revenues, hotel operating costs and expenses were 47% for 2000 and 1999.
The significant increases in REVPAR were offset by increases in management
fees and property-level operating costs, including higher labor costs in
certain markets.

Operating Profit. As a result of the changes in revenues and operating
costs and expenses discussed above, our operating profit increased $45
million, or 5%, to $876 million for 2000. Operating profit was approximately
21% of total revenues for both 2000 and 1999.

Minority Interest. Minority interest expense increased $6 million to $27
million for 2000, primarily reflecting the improved property-level results, as
previously discussed, to include those properties that are not wholly-owned by
us.

Loss on Litigation. In connection with a proposed settlement for litigation
related to seven limited service partnerships discussed above, we recorded a
non-recurring charge of $40 million during the fourth quarter of 1999.

Income Tax Provision. Income of the TRS will be subject to federal and
state income taxes.

Income Before Extraordinary Items. Income Before Extraordinary Items for
2000 was $337 million compared to $264 million for 1999. Basic earnings before
extraordinary items per common share was $1.12 and $.88 for 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Diluted earning before extraordinary items per common share was
$1.10 and $.86 for 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $313 million and $277 million at December
31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. Cash from operations increased
$174 million to $534 million in 2000, primarily reflecting improved results of
operations as previously discussed, and changes in other liabilities, which
were a source of cash of $67 million in 2000, primarily due to the $125
million accrual, net of taxes, for the Crestline lease repurchase expense
which was not paid until January 2001, and a use of cash of $60 million in
1999 primarily reflecting cash payments for REIT Conversion expenses which
were accrued in 1998.

Cash used in investing activities was $448 million and $176 million in 2000
and 1999, respectively. Cash used in investing activities includes capital
expenditures of $379 million and $361 million and acquisitions for $40 million
and $29 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Significant investing
activities during 2000 and 1999 include:

. In December 2000, a joint venture formed by us (through non-controlled
subsidiaries) and Marriott International acquired the partnership
interests in Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership and Courtyard by
Marriott II Limited Partnership for an aggregate payment of
approximately $372 million plus interest and legal fees, of which we
paid approximately $79 million. The joint venture acquired the
partnerships by acquiring partnership units pursuant to a tender offer
for such units followed by a merger

41


of each of CBM I and CBM II with and into subsidiaries of the joint
venture. The joint venture financed the acquisition with mezzanine
indebtedness borrowed from Marriott International, cash and other assets
contributed by us (through our non-controlled subsidiaries) including
Rockledge's existing general partner and limited partner interests in the
partnerships, and cash and other sets contributed by Marriott
International. We own a 50% interest in the joint venture.

. In late June 2000, an expansion that included the additions of a 500-
room tower and 15,000 square feet of meeting space at the Orlando World
Center Marriott was placed in service at an approximate development
cost of $88 million, of which $39 million was expended during 2000.

. In May 2000, we acquired a non-controlling partnership interest in the
JWDC Limited Partnership, which owns the JW Marriott Hotel, a 772-room
hotel located on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC. We previously
held a small interest in the venture, and invested an additional $40
million in the form of a co-general partner and limited partner
interest.

. In October 1999, the Company was paid $65 million in satisfaction of
the mortgage note secured by an additional hotel that was acquired in
connection with the Blackstone Acquisition.

. Property and equipment balances include $135 million and $243 million
for construction in progress as of December 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999, respectively. The reduction in construction in progress is due to
the completion of the Tampa Waterside Marriott, which was placed in
service in February 2000 and the expansion at the Orlando World Center
Marriott, which was placed in service in late June 2000. The balance as
of December 31, 2000, primarily relates to properties in Naples,
Orlando, San Diego, and various other expansion and development
projects.

Cash used in financing activities was $50 million and $343 million in 2000
and 1999, respectively.

We believe cash payments will be required for the recognition of certain
deferred tax items and the settlement of certain audits of prior years' tax
returns with the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. We made
net payments to certain states and the IRS of approximately $14 million and
$27 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively, and made additional payments of
$24 million in the first quarter of 2001. We also believe cash payments will
be needed to fund specific development projects, all of which are discussed in
this annual report. The sources of future cash outflows are dependent on cash
from operations and the amount of additional debt, if any, necessary for
payment upon the final resolution of these matters.

As of December 31, 2000, our total consolidated debt was approximately $5.8
billion. Our debt is comprised of $2.8 billion in unsecured senior notes, $2.3
billion in non-recourse mortgage debt, $150 million outstanding under the term
loan portion of the $775 million bank credit facility, and the $492 million
convertible debt obligation to Host REIT.

Since August 1998, we have issued or refinanced more than $3.9 billion of
debt, as is described below, in order to reduce the risk and volatility in our
capital structure. The net effect of these transactions has been to virtually
eliminate all of our near term maturities, with only $8 million maturing
through 2001, reduce our weighted average interest rate by approximately 70
basis points, and extend our average maturity by over one year. As a result,
our weighted average rate is now approximately 8.2%, and our average maturity
is approximately seven years, with 95% of our debt having fixed interest
rates. Significant debt transactions include:

. As of December 31, 2000, $150 million was outstanding under the term
loan portion of the bank credit facility, while the available capacity
under the revolving credit portion of the bank credit facility was $625
million. The bank credit facility was renegotiated in June 2000 for
$775 million. The credit facility's term was extended for two
additional years, through August 2003. Borrowings under the credit
facility generally bear interest at the Eurodollar rate plus 2.25%
(9.04% at December 31, 2000), and the interest rate and a commitment
fee on the unused portion of the facility fluctuate based on specified
financial ratios. We funded a portion of the $207 million cash payment
to acquire the Crestline Lessee Entities through increased borrowings
under the revolver portion of the bank credit facility of $40 million
during

42


January 2001, and we borrowed an additional $50 million and $25 million in
February 2001 and March 2001, respectively, for general corporate
purposes.

. In October 2000, we issued $250 million of 9 1/4% Series F senior notes
due in 2007, under the same indenture and with the same covenants as the
Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series E senior notes. The net
proceeds to the Company were approximately $245 million, after
commissions and expenses of approximately $5 million. In March 2001, the
Series F Senior notes were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Series G
Senior notes, which are freely transferable by the holders.

. In February 2000, we refinanced the $80 million mortgage on Marriott's
Harbor Beach Resort property in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The new
mortgage is for $84 million, at a rate of 8.58%, and matures in March
2007.

. In February 1999, we issued $300 million of 8 3/8% Series D senior notes
due 2006 and used the proceeds to refinance, or purchase, debt which had
been assumed through the merger of some partnerships or the purchase of
hotel properties in connection with the REIT conversion in December
1998. We repaid a $40 million variable rate mortgage with a portion of
the proceeds, and terminated the associated swap agreement, incurring a
termination fee of approximately $1 million. In August 1999, the Series
D Senior notes were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Series E Senior
notes, which are freely transferable by the holders.

. In April 1999, a subsidiary of ours completed the refinancing of the
$245 million mortgage on the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel, maturing
in June 2000. In connection with the refinancing, we renegotiated the
hotel's management agreement and recognized an extraordinary gain of $14
million on the forgiveness of accrued incentive management fees by the
manager. This mortgage was subsequently refinanced as part of the $665
million financing agreement discussed below.

. In June 1999, we refinanced the debt on the San Diego Marriott Hotel and
Marina. The mortgage is for $195 million and a term of 10 years at a
rate of 8.45%. In addition, we entered into a mortgage for the
Philadelphia Marriott expansion in July 1999 for $23 million at an
interest rate of approximately 8.6%, maturing in 2009.

. In July 1999, we entered into a financing agreement pursuant to which we
borrowed $665 million due 2009 at a fixed rate of 7.47 percent. Eight of
our hotels serve as collateral for the agreement. In connection with
this refinancing, an extraordinary loss of $3 million was recognized,
representing the write-off of deferred financing fees. The proceeds from
this financing were used to refinance existing mortgage indebtedness
maturing at various times through 2000, including approximately $590
million of outstanding variable rate mortgage debt, and to terminate the
related interest rate swap agreements, recognizing an extraordinary gain
of approximately $8 million. As a result of the refinancing we no longer
have any interest rate swap agreements outstanding.

. In August 1999, we made a prepayment of $19 million to pay down in full
the mezzanine mortgage on the Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa. In
September 1999, we made a prepayment of $45 million to pay down in full
the mortgage note on the Philadelphia Four Seasons Hotel.

. In addition to the capital resources provided by our debt financings, in
December 1996, one of our wholly-owned subsidiary trusts, issued 11
million shares of 6 3/4% Convertible Quarterly Income Preferred
Securities, with a liquidation preference of $50 per share for a total
liquidation amount of $550 million. Proceeds from the issuance were
invested in 6 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due December 2,
2026 issued by us, which are the trust's sole assets. During 2000, we
repurchased .4 million shares of the Convertible Preferred Securities as
part of the stock repurchase plan discussed below. Since the inception
of the repurchase program in September 1999, 1.5 million shares of the
Convertible Preferred Securities have been repurchased.

Significant equity financings include:

. Distributions in 2000 reflect the $0.86 cash distribution per OP Unit
paid during the year. In addition, on December 18, 2000, the Board of
Directors declared a regular cash distribution of $0.26 per OP Unit

43


which was paid on January 12, 2001. 1999 distributions reflect the $73
million special dividend declared in December 1998 in connection with the
REIT Conversion, as well as the $0.63 distribution per OP Unit paid as of
December 31, 1999.

. In September 1999, the Board of Directors of Host REIT announced our
intention to repurchase, from time to time, up to 22 million shares of
Host REIT common stock, OP Units, or an amount of Host REIT's Convertible
Preferred Securities which are convertible into a like number of shares
of Host REIT's common stock based upon the specified conversion ratio.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, we purchased approximately 4.9
million shares of common stock, .4 million shares of the Convertible
Preferred Securities, and .3 million OP Units for approximately $62
million. Since the inception of the repurchase program, we spent, in the
aggregate, approximately $150 million to repurchase 16.2 million
equivalent units.

. In August 1999, Host REIT sold 4.16 million shares of 10% Class A
preferred stock and we issued an equivalent security. Holders of the
stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 10%
per year of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. Dividends are
payable quarterly in arrears beginning October 15, 1999. Dividends in
2000 reflect quarterly cash dividends of $0.625 per share paid on January
17, April 14, July 14 and October 16. In addition, on December 18, 2000,
the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.625 per share to be
paid on January 12, 2001.

. In November 1999, Host REIT sold 4.0 million shares of 10% Class B
preferred stock and we issued an equivalent security. Holders of the
stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 10%
per year of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. Dividends are
payable quarterly in arrears beginning January 15, 2000. Dividends in
2000 reflect quarterly cash dividends of $0.625 per share paid on January
17, April 14, July 14 and October 16. In addition, on December 18, 2000,
the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.625 per share to be
paid on January 12, 2001.

FFO and EBITDA

We consider Comparative Funds from Operations (Comparative FFO), which
represents FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts adjusted for significant non-recurring items detailed in the
chart below, and our EBITDA to be indicative measures of our operating
performance due to the significance of our long-lived assets. Comparative FFO
and EBITDA are also useful in measuring our ability to service debt, fund
capital expenditures and expand our business. Furthermore, management believes
that Comparative FFO and EBITDA are meaningful disclosures that will help
unitholders and the investment community to better understand our financial
performance, including comparing our performance to other REITs. However,
Comparative FFO and EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to amounts
calculated by other companies. This information should not be considered as an
alternative to net income, operating profit, cash from operations, or any
other operating or liquidity performance measure prescribed by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Cash expenditures for
various long-term assets, interest expense (for EBITDA purposes only) and
income taxes have been, and will be incurred which are not reflected in the
EBITDA and Comparative FFO presentation.

44


Comparative FFO available to common unitholders increased $62 million, or
11%, to $614 million in 2000 over 1999. The following is a reconciliation of
income before extraordinary items to Comparative FFO (in millions):

Our interest coverage, defined as EBITDA divided by cash interest expense,
was 2.4 times, 2.2 times, and 2.7 times for 2000, 1999, and 1998,
respectively. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.2 to 1.0, 1.5 to
1.0, and 1.5 to 1.0 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

Leases. In addition to our full-service hotels, we also lease some property
and equipment under noncancelable operating leases, including the long-term
ground leases for some of our hotels, generally with multiple renewal options.
The leases related to the 53 Courtyard properties and 18 Residence Inn
properties sold during 1995 and 1996, are nonrecourse to us and contain
provisions for the payment of contingent rentals based on a percentage of
sales in excess of stipulated amounts. We remain contingently liable on some
leases related to divested non-lodging properties. Such contingent liabilities
aggregated $68 million at December 31, 2000. However, management considers the
likelihood of any substantial funding related to these divested properties'
leases to be remote.

Inflation. Our hotel lodging properties have been impacted by inflation
through its effect on increasing costs and on the managers' ability to
increase room rates. Unlike other real estate, hotels have the ability to
change room rates on a daily basis, so the impact of higher inflation often
can be passed on to customers.

Approximately 95% of our debt bears interest at fixed rates. This debt
structure largely mitigates the impact of changes in the rate of inflation on
future interest costs. We have some financial instruments that are sensitive
to changes in interest rates. The interest recognized on the debt obligations
is based on various LIBOR terms, which ranged from 6.6% to 6.8% and 5.6% to
5.9% at December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

In July 1999, we completed the refinancing of approximately $588 million of
outstanding variable rate mortgage debt and terminated the related interest
rate swap agreements. In June 1999, we completed the refinancing of
approximately $196 million of outstanding variable rate mortgage debt. As a
result of the refinancing we no longer have any interest rate swap agreements
outstanding. Our remaining variable debt consists of the credit facility and
the mortgage debt on the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island property which totaled
$354 million at March 16, 2001.

New Accounting Standards. As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements, in December 1999, we changed our method of accounting
for contingent rental revenues to conform to the Commission's Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) No. 101. As a result, contingent rental revenue was deferred on
the balance sheet until certain revenue thresholds are realized. We adopted
SAB No. 101 with retroactive effect beginning January 1, 1999 to conform to
the new presentation. SAB No. 101 had no impact on full-year 2000 and 1999
revenues, net income, or earnings per share because all rental revenues
considered contingent under SAB No. 101 were earned as of December 31, 2000
and 1999. The change in accounting principle has no effect on years prior to
1999 because percentage rent relates to rental income on our leases, which
began in 1999.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative
instrument (including specified derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged
item in the income statement and requires that a company must formally
document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive
hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. We determined that there will be no impact from the
implementation of SFAS No. 133.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The table below provides information as of December 31, 2000 about our
financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For
debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted
average interest rates by expected maturity dates.

(1) The Company borrowed an additional $115 million under the revolver
portion of the bank credit facility during the first quarter of 2001 to

general corporate purposes.
(2) Interest rates are based on various LIBOR terms plus certain basis
points which range from 200 to 225 basis points. The one-month LIBOR
rate at December 31, 2000 was 6.6%. We have assumed for purposes of this
presentation that the LIBOR rate remains unchanged. A 100 basis point
increase in LIBOR would increase our interest rate expense by
approximately $2 million per year.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Host Marriott Corporation as general partner to Host Marriott, L.P.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Host
Marriott, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income,
partners' capital and cash flows of Host Marriott, L.P. for each of the three
fiscal years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements
and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated 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 financial position of Host
Marriott, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal
years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index at
Item 14(a)(2) is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic financial
statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects to the financial data required to be
set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Host Marriott L.P. ("Host LP" or the "Operating Partnership"), a Delaware
limited partnership, operating through an umbrella partnership structure with
Host Marriott Corporation ("Host REIT") as the sole general partner, is
primarily the owner of hotel properties. Host REIT operates as a self-managed
and self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") with its
operations conducted solely through the Operating Partnership and its
subsidiaries. Due to certain tax laws restricting REITs from deriving revenues
directly from the operations of hotels, effective January 1, 1999, Host LP
leased substantially all of the hotels to subsidiaries of Crestline Capital
Corporation ("Crestline") and certain other lessees as further discussed at
Note 10.

The Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 ("REIT Modernization Act")
amended the tax laws to permit REITs, effective January 1, 2001, to lease
hotels to a subsidiary that qualifies as a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS").
Accordingly, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Host LP effectively terminated the
leases with Crestline by acquiring the entities owning the leasehold interests
with respect to 116 of the full-service hotels from Crestline effective
January 1, 2001 (see Note 2).

As of December 31, 2000, the Company owned, or had controlling interests
in, 122 upscale and luxury, full-service hotel lodging properties generally
located throughout the United States and Canada and operated primarily under
the Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt and Swissotel brand
names. Of these properties, 109 are managed or franchised by Marriott
International, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Marriott International"). Host REIT
also has economic, non-voting interests in certain Non-Controlled
Subsidiaries, whose hotels are also managed by Marriott International (see
Note 5).

Basis of Presentation

On December 15, 1998, shareholders of Host Marriott Corporation, ("Host
Marriott"), a Delaware corporation and the predecessor to Host REIT, approved
a plan to reorganize Host Marriott's business operations through the spin-off
of Host Marriott's senior living business as part of Crestline and the
contribution of Host Marriott's hotels and certain other assets and
liabilities to a newly formed Delaware limited partnership, Host LP, Host
Marriott merged into HMC Merger Corporation (the "Merger"), a newly formed
Maryland corporation (renamed Host Marriott Corporation) which has elected to
be treated, effective January 1, 1999, as a REIT and is the sole general
partner of the Operating Partnership. Host Marriott and its subsidiaries'
contribution of its hotels and certain assets and liabilities to the Operating
Partnership and its subsidiaries (the "Contribution") in exchange for units of
partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units") was accounted
for at Host Marriott's historical basis. As of December 31, 2000, Host REIT
owned approximately 78% of the Operating Partnership.

On February 7, 2001, certain limited partners converted 12.5 million OP
Units to Host REIT common shares and immediately sold them to an underwriter
for sale on the open market. As a result, Host REIT now owns approximately 82%
of the Operating Partnership. The Company received no proceeds as a result of
the transaction.

In these consolidated financial statements, the "Company" or "Host
Marriott" refers to Host Marriott Corporation before, and Host LP after Host
Marriott Corporation's conversion to a REIT (the "REIT Conversion"). Host
Marriott Corporation is presented as the predecessor to the Operating
Partnership since the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries received
substantially all of the continuing operations, assets and liabilities of Host
Marriott Corporation and its subsidiaries.

57


HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


On December 29, 1998, the Company completed the previously discussed spin-
off of Crestline (see Note 2), through a taxable stock dividend to its
shareholders. Each Host Marriott shareholder of record on December 28, 1998
received one share of Crestline for every ten shares of Host Marriott common
stock owned (the "Distribution").

As a result of the Distribution, the Company's financial statements were
restated to present the senior living communities business results of
operations and cash flows as discontinued operations. See Note 2 for further
discussion of the Distribution.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates. Investments in affiliates over
which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does
not control, are accounted for using the equity method. All material
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Fiscal Year End Change

The U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, requires REITs to file
their U.S. income tax return on a calendar year basis. Accordingly in 1998,
the Company changed its fiscal year-end to December 31 for both financial and
tax reporting requirements. Previously, the Company's fiscal year ended on the
Friday nearest to December 31.

Revenues

The Company's 2000 and 1999 revenues primarily represent the rental income
from its leased hotels, net gains on property transactions, interest income
and equity in earnings of affiliates. The rent due under each lease is the
greater of base rent or percentage rent, as defined. Percentage rent
applicable to room, food and beverage and other types of hotel revenue varies
by lease and is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by the total
amounts of such revenues over specified threshold amounts. Both the minimum
rent and the revenue thresholds used in computing percentage rents are subject
to annual adjustments based on increases in the United States Consumer Price
Index and the Labor Index, as defined. As of year end 2000 and 1999, all
annual thresholds were achieved.

The comparison of the 2000 and 1999 results with 1998 is also affected by a
change in the reporting period for the Company's hotels not managed by
Marriott International. In prior years, operations for certain of the
Company's hotels were recorded from the beginning of December of the prior
year to November of the current year due to a one-month delay in receiving
results from those hotel properties. Upon conversion to a REIT, operations are
required to be reported on a calendar year basis in accordance with Federal
income tax regulations. As a result, the Company recorded one additional
period of operations in fiscal year 1998 for these properties. The effect on
revenues and net income was to increase revenues by $44 million and net income
by $6 million and diluted earnings per unit by $0.02 in 1998.

As a result of the previously discussed transaction with Crestline,
effective January 1, 2001, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company replaced
Crestline as lessee with respect to 116 full-service properties. Beginning in
2001, the Company's consolidated results of operations will represent
property-level revenues and expenses rather than rental income from lessees
with respect to those 116 properties and, therefore, will not be comparable to
2000 and 1999 results.

HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Earnings (Loss) Per Unit

Basic earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income less
distributions on preferred limited partner interests by the weighted average
number of units outstanding. Diluted earnings per unit is computed by dividing
net income less distributions on preferred limited partner interests as
adjusted for potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number
of units outstanding plus other potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive
securities may include units distributed to Host REIT for Host REIT common
shares granted under comprehensive stock plans and the Convertible Preferred
Securities. Dilutive securities also include those common and preferred OP
Units issuable or outstanding that are held by minority partners which are
assumed to be converted. Diluted earnings per unit was not adjusted for the
impact of the Convertible Preferred Securities for 2000 and 1999 as they were
anti-dilutive. In December 1998, the Company declared the Special Dividend
(see Note 3) and, in February 1999, Host REIT distributed 11.5 million shares
to existing shareholders in conjunction with the Special Dividend. The
weighted average number of units outstanding and the basic and diluted
earnings per unit computations have been restated to reflect these shares as
outstanding for all periods presented.

In February 1999, the Company distributed 8.5 million units to Host REIT
for 8.5 million shares of Host REIT common stock issued in exchange for 8.5
million OP Units issued to certain limited partners in connection with the
Partnership Mergers (see Note 13) which are deemed outstanding at December 31,
1998.

A reconciliation of the number of units utilized for the calculation of
diluted earnings per unit follows:

HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Minority Interest

Minority interest consists of limited partnership interests in consolidated
investments of $139 million and $136 million as of December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. For newly developed properties,
cost includes interest, ground rent and real estate taxes incurred during
development and construction. Replacements and improvements are capitalized.

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

Gains on sales of properties are recognized at the time of sale or deferred
to the extent required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. Deferred gains are recognized as income in subsequent periods
as conditions requiring deferral are satisfied or expire without further cost
to the Company.

In cases where management is holding for sale particular hotel properties,
the Company assesses impairment based on whether the estimated sales price
less costs of disposal of each individual property to be sold is less than the
net book value. A property is considered to be held for sale when the Company
has made the decision to dispose of the property. Otherwise, the Company
assesses impairment of its real estate properties based on whether it is
probable that undiscounted future cash flows from each individual property
will be less than its net book value. If a property is impaired, its basis is
adjusted to its fair market value.

Deferred Charges

Financing costs related to long-term debt are deferred and amortized over
the remaining life of the debt.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Marketable Securities

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90
days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash
equivalents includes approximately $0 and $5 million at December 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively, of cash related to certain consolidated partnerships, the
use of which is restricted generally for partnership purposes to the extent it
is not distributed to the partners. Short-term marketable securities include
investments with a maturity of 91 days to one year at the date of purchase.
The Company's short-term marketable securities represent investments in U.S.
government agency notes and high quality commercial paper. The short-term
marketable securities are categorized as available for sale and, as a result,
are stated at fair market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are
included as a separate component of partners' capital until realized.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents
and short-term marketable securities. The Company maintains cash and cash
equivalents and short-term marketable securities with various high credit-
quality financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of
the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and limits the
amount of credit exposure with any one institution.

In addition, on January 1, 1999, subsidiaries of Crestline became the
lessees of virtually all the hotels and, as such, their rent payments were the
primary source of the Company's revenues during 2000 and 1999. For a more
detailed discussion of Crestline's guarantee as lessee, see Note 10. The full-
service hotel leases were grouped into four lease pools. Crestline, as lessee
during 1999 and 2000, provided a guarantee limited to the greater of 10% of
the aggregate rent payable for the preceding year or 10% of the aggregate rent
payable under all leases in the respective pool. Additionally, Crestline's
obligation as lessee under each lease agreement was guaranteed by all other
lessees in the respective lease pool. As a result, the Company believed that
the operating results of each full-service lease pool for fiscal years 2000
and 1999 might have been material to the Company's consolidated financial
statements for those years. The separate consolidated financial statements of
each full-service lease pool as of and for the years ended December 31, 2000
and 1999 are included in this filing.

As a result of the acquisition of the Crestline Lessee Entities during
January 2001 (see Note 2), the third party credit concentration with Crestline
ceased to exist. Effective January 1, 2001 the Company leases substantially
all of the hotels to a wholly-owned TRS.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

REIT Conversion Expenses

The Company incurred certain costs related to the REIT Conversion. These
costs consist of professional fees, printing and filing costs, consent fees
and certain other related fees and are classified as REIT conversion expenses
on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company recognized REIT
conversion expense of $64 million in 1998.

Loss on Litigation Settlement

In connection with the settlement of litigation involving seven limited
partnerships in which the Company or its subsidiaries serve as general
partner, the Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $40 million during the
fourth quarter of 1999. The loss is classified as the loss on litigation
settlement on the consolidated statement of operations.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

In the past, the Company entered into a limited number of interest rate
swap agreements for non-trading purposes. The Company used such agreements to
fix certain of its variable rate debt to a fixed rate basis. The interest rate
differential to be paid or received on interest rate swap agreements was
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. The Company terminated its
interest rate swap agreements in July 1999.

Application of New Accounting Standards

On December 3, 1999 the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, which codified the staff's position
on revenue recognition. The Company retroactively changed its method of
accounting for contingent rental revenues to conform to SAB No. 101. As a
result, base rent is recognized as it is earned according to the applicable
lease provisions. Percentage rent is recorded as deferred revenue on the
balance sheet until the applicable hotel revenues exceed the threshold
amounts. The Company adopted SAB No. 101 with retroactive effect beginning
January 1, 1999.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative
instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
measured at its fair value. The statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company has determined that there will be
no impact from the implementation of SFAS No. 133.

2. Lease Repurchase

On November 13, 2000, the Company announced the execution of a definitive
agreement with Crestline for the termination of their lease arrangements
through the purchase of the entities ("Crestline Lessee Entities") owning the
leasehold interests with respect to 116 full-service hotel properties owned by
the Company for $207 million in cash, including $6 million of legal and
professional fees and transfer taxes. In connection therewith, during the
fourth quarter of 2000 the Company recorded a non-recurring, pre-tax loss of
$207 million net of a tax benefit of $82 million which the Company recognized
as a deferred tax asset because, for income tax purposes, the acquisition is
recognized as an asset that will be amortized over the next six years.

The transaction was consummated effective January 1, 2001. Under the terms
of the transaction, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which will elect
to be treated as a TRS for federal income tax purposes, acquired the Crestline
Lessee Entities. As a result of the acquisition, the Company's consolidated
results of operations beginning January 1, 2001 will represent property-level
revenues and expenses rather than rental income from lessees with respect to
those 116 full-service properties.

3. Distribution and Special Dividend

In December 1998, the Company distributed to its shareholders through a
taxable distribution the outstanding shares of common stock of Crestline (the
"Distribution"), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which, as
of the date of the Distribution, owned and operated the Company's senior
living communities, owned certain other assets and held leasehold interests in
substantially all of the Company's hotels. The Distribution provided Company
shareholders with one share of Crestline common stock for every ten shares of
Company common stock held by such shareholders on the record date of December
28, 1998. As a result of

62


HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

the Distribution, the Company's consolidated financial statements have been
restated to present the senior living communities' business results of
operations and cash flows as discontinued operations. Revenues for the
Company's discontinued operations totaled $241 million in 1998. The provision
for loss on disposal includes organizational and formation costs related to
Crestline.

For purposes of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between the
Company and Crestline after the Distribution and to provide for an orderly
transition, the Company and Crestline entered into various agreements,
including a Distribution Agreement, an Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement
and a Tax Sharing Agreement. Effective as of December 29, 1998, these
agreements provide, among other things, for the division between the Company
and Crestline of certain assets and liabilities.

On December 18, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a special dividend
which entitled shareholders of record on December 28, 1998 to elect to receive
either $1.00 in cash or .087 of a share of common stock of the Company for
each outstanding share of the Company's common stock owned by such shareholder
on the record date (the "Special Dividend"). Cash totaling $73 million and
11.5 million shares of common stock that were elected in the Special Dividend
were paid and/or issued in 1999.

On May 16, 2000, the Company acquired for $40 million in cash a non-
controlling interest in the JWDC Limited Partnership, which owns the JW
Marriott Hotel, a 772-room hotel located on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington,
DC. The Company previously held a 17% limited partner interest in the venture
through a non-controlled subsidiary.

In connection with the REIT Conversion, Rockledge Hotel Properties, Inc.
("Rockledge") and Fernwood Hotel Assets, Inc. (together, the "Non-Controlled
Subsidiaries") were formed to own various assets of approximately $264 million
contributed by the Company to the Operating Partnership, the direct ownership
of which by the Company or Host REIT could jeopardize Host REIT's status as a
REIT. These assets primarily consist of partnership or other interests in
hotels which are not leased and certain furniture, fixtures and equipment
("FF&E") used in the hotels. In exchange for the contribution of these assets
to the Non-Controlled Subsidiaries, the Operating Partnership received only
non-voting common stock of the Non-Controlled Subsidiaries, representing 95%
of the total economic interests therein. The Host Marriott Statutory
Employee/Charitable Trust, the beneficiaries of which are certain employees of
the Company and the J.W. Marriott Foundation concurrently acquired all of the
voting common stock representing the remaining 5% of the total economic
interest. The Non-Controlled Subsidiaries own three full-service hotels, an
interest in a joint venture discussed below, and interests in partnerships
that own an additional full-service hotel and 88 limited-service hotels.
During February 2001, the Board of Directors of Host REIT approved the
acquisition, through a TRS, of all of the voting common stock representing the
remaining 5% of the total economic interest of the Non-Controlled Subsidiaries
from the Host Marriott Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust. The transaction is
permitted as a result of the REIT Modernization Act.

In addition, during December 2000, a newly created joint venture, ("Joint
Venture") formed by Rockledge and Marriott International acquired the
partnership interests in two partnerships that collectively own 120 limited
service hotels for approximately $372 million plus interest and legal fees, of
which Rockledge paid approximately $79 million. Previously, both partnerships
were operated by Rockledge, as sole general partner. The Joint Venture
acquired the two partnerships by acquiring partnership units pursuant to a
tender offer for such units followed by a merger of the two partnerships with
and into subsidiaries of the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture financed the
acquisition with mezzanine indebtedness borrowed from Marriott International
and with cash and other assets contributed by Rockledge and Marriott
International, including Rockledge's existing general partner and limited
partner interests in the partnerships. Rockledge, through its subsidiaries,
owns a 50% non-controlling interest in the Joint Venture as of December 31,
2000.

In connection with the REIT Conversion, the Company completed the
Partnership Mergers and, as a result, investments in affiliates in prior years
include earnings and assets, which are now consolidated. (See Note 13 for
discussion.)

Receivables from affiliates are reported net of reserves of $7 million at
December 31, 2000 and 1999. Repayments were $3 million in 2000, $2 million in
1999 and $14 million in 1998.

Public Debt. In October 2000, the Company issued $250 million of 9 1/4%
Series F senior notes due in 2007, under the same indenture and with the same
covenants as the New Senior Notes (described below). The net proceeds to the
Company were approximately $245 million, after commissions and expenses of
approximately $5 million. The proceeds were used for the $26 million repayment
of the outstanding balance on the revolver portion of the bank credit
facility, settlement of certain litigation, and to partially fund the
acquisition of the Crestline Lessee Entities. The notes will be exchanged in
the first quarter of 2001 for Series G senior notes on a one-for-one basis,
which are freely transferable by the holders.

In February 1999, the Company issued $300 million of 8 3/8% Series D notes
due in 2006 under the same indenture and with the same covenants as the New
Senior Notes (described below). The debt was used to refinance, or purchase,
approximately $299 million of debt acquired in the Partnership Mergers,
including a $40 million variable rate mortgage and an associated swap
agreement, which was terminated by incurring a termination fee of $1 million.
The notes were exchanged in August 1999 for Series E Senior notes on a one-
for-one basis, which are freely transferable by the holders.

In December 1998, the Operating Partnership issued $500 million of 8.45%
Series C notes due in 2008 under the same indenture and with the same
covenants as the New Senior Notes (described below).

On August 5, 1998, the Company issued an aggregate of $1.7 billion in new
senior notes (the "New Senior Notes"). The New Senior Notes were issued in two
series, $500 million of 7 7/8% Series A notes due in 2005 and $1.2 billion of
7 7/8% Series B notes due in 2008. The indenture under which the new Senior
Notes were issued contains covenants restricting the ability of the Company
and certain of its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, grant liens on their
assets, acquire or sell assets or make investments in other entities, and make

66


HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

certain distributions to equity holders of the Company and the Operating
Partnership. The Company utilized the proceeds from the New Senior Notes to
purchase substantially all of its (i) $600 million in 9 1/2% senior notes due
2005; (ii) $350 million in 9% senior notes due 2007; and (iii) $600 million in
8 7/8% senior notes due 2007 (collectively, the "Old Senior Notes").
Approximately $13 million of the Old Senior Notes remain outstanding. In
connection with the purchase of substantially all of the Old Senior Notes, the
Company recorded a charge of approximately $148 million in 1998 (net of income
tax benefit of $80 million) as an extraordinary item representing the amount
paid for bond premiums and consent fees, as well as the write-off of deferred
financing fees on the Old Senior Notes.

Concurrently with each offer to purchase, we successfully solicited
consents (the "1998 Consent Solicitations") from registered holders of the Old
Senior Notes to certain amendments to eliminate or modify substantially all of
the restrictive covenants and certain other provisions contained in the
indentures pursuant to which the Old Senior Notes were issued.

Bank Credit Facility. In August 1998, the Company entered into a $1.25
billion credit facility (the "Bank Credit Facility") with a group of
commercial banks. The Bank Credit Facility had an initial three-year term with
two one-year extension options. At origination, the facility consisted of a
$350 million term loan and a $900 million revolver.

During June 2000, the Company modified its bank credit facility. As
modified, the total facility has been permanently reduced to $775 million,
consisting of a $150 million term loan and a $625 million revolver. In
addition, the original term was extended for two additional years, through
August 2003. Borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility bear interest currently
at the Eurodollar rate plus 2.25% at December 31, 2000. The interest rate and
commitment fee on the unused portion of the Bank Credit Facility fluctuate
based on certain financial ratios. As of December 31, 2000, $150 million was
outstanding under the Bank Credit Facility, and the available capacity under
the revolver portion was $625 million. During the first quarter of 2001, the
Company borrowed an additional $90 million under the revolver portion of the
Bank Credit Facility to partially fund the acquisition of the Crestline Lessee
Entities and for general corporate purposes.

The Bank Credit Facility contains covenants restricting the ability of the
Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, grant liens on
their assets, acquire or sell assets or make investments in other entities,
and make certain distributions to equity holders of the Company and the
Operating Partnership. The Bank Credit Facility also contains certain
financial covenants relating to, among other things, maintaining certain
levels of tangible net worth and certain ratios of EBITDA to interest and
fixed charges, total debt to EBITDA, unencumbered assets to unsecured debt,
and secured debt to total debt. As of December 31, 2000, the Company was in
compliance with all covenants.

In connection with the renegotiation of the Bank Credit Facility, the
Company recognized an extraordinary loss of approximately $3 million during
the second quarter of 2000, representing the write-off of deferred financing
costs and certain fees paid to the lender.

During 1999, the Company repaid $225 million of the outstanding balance on
the $350 million term loan portion of the Bank Credit Facility, permanently
reducing the term loan portion to $125 million. In connection with these
prepayments, an extraordinary loss of $2 million representing the write-off of
deferred financing costs was recognized.

Mortgage Debt. In February 2000, the Company refinanced the $80 million
mortgage on Marriott's Harbor Beach Resort property in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida. The new mortgage is for $84 million, at a rate of 8.58%, and matures
in March 2007.

67


HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


In August 1999, the Company made a prepayment of $19 million to pay down in
full the mezzanine mortgage on the Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa. In
September 1999, the Company made a prepayment of $45 million to pay down in
full the mortgage note on the Philadelphia Four Seasons Hotel.

In July 1999, the Company entered into a financing agreement pursuant to
which it borrowed $665 million due 2009 at a fixed rate of 7.47% with eight
hotels serving as collateral. The proceeds from this financing were used to
refinance existing mortgage indebtedness maturing at various times through
2000, including approximately $590 million of outstanding variable rate
mortgage debt.

In June 1999, the Company refinanced the debt on the San Diego Marriott
Hotel and Marina. The mortgage is $195 million with a term of 10 years at a
rate of 8.45%. In addition, the Company entered into a mortgage for the
Philadelphia Marriott expansion in July 1999 for $23 million at an interest
rate of approximately 8.6%, maturing in 2009.

In April 1999, a subsidiary of the Company completed the refinancing of the
$245 million mortgage on the New York Marriott Marquis, maturing June 2000. In
connection with the refinancing, the Company renegotiated the management
agreement and recognized an extraordinary gain of $14 million on the
forgiveness of accrued incentive management fees by the manager. This mortgage
was subsequently refinanced as part of the $665 million financing agreement
discussed above.

Interest Rate SWAP Agreements. During 1999, the Company terminated its
outstanding interest rate SWAP agreements recognizing an extraordinary gain of
approximately $8 million. The Company was party to an interest rate swap
agreement with a financial institution with an aggregate notional amount of
$100 million which expired in December 1998. The Company realized a net
reduction of interest expense of $338,000 in 1999 related to interest rate
swap agreements.

7. Convertible Debt Obligation to Host Marriott Corporation

The obligation for the $492 million and $514 million of 6 3/4% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") as of December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, has been included in these financial statements as debt of the
Company because upon the REIT Conversion the Operating Partnership assumed
primary liability for repayment of the Debentures of Host Marriott underlying
the Convertible Preferred Securities (defined below) of the Host Marriott
Financial Trust (the "Issuer"), a wholly-owned subsidiary trust of Host
Marriott. The common securities of Host Marriott Financial Trust were not
contributed to the Operating Partnership and therefore Host Marriott Financial
Trust is not consolidated by the Operating Partnership. Upon conversion by a
Convertible Preferred Securities holder, Host Marriott will issue shares of
its common stock which will be delivered to such holder. Upon the issuance of
such shares by Host Marriott, the Operating Partnership will issue to Host
Marriott the number of OP Units equal to the number of shares of the Host
Marriott common stock issued in exchange for the Debentures.

In December 1996, Host Marriott Financial Trust issued 11 million shares of
6 3/4% convertible quarterly income preferred securities (the "Convertible
Preferred Securities"), with a liquidation preference of $50 per share (for a
total liquidation amount of $550 million). The Convertible Preferred
Securities represent an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the
Issuer. The payment of distributions out of moneys held by the Issuer and
payments on liquidation of the Issuer or the redemption of the Convertible
Preferred Securities are guaranteed by the Company to the extent the Issuer
has funds available therefor. This guarantee, when taken together with the
Company's obligations under the indenture pursuant to which the Debentures
(defined below) were issued, the Debentures, the Company's obligations under
the Trust Agreement and its obligations under the indenture to pay costs,
expenses, debts and liabilities of the Issuer (other than with respect to the
Convertible Preferred Securities) provides a full and unconditional guarantee
of amounts due on the Convertible Preferred Securities. Proceeds from the
issuance of the Convertible Preferred Securities were invested in 6 3/4%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") due December 2, 2026
issued by the Company. The Issuer exists solely to issue the Convertible
Preferred Securities and its own common securities (the "Common Securities")
and invest the proceeds therefrom in the Debentures. The note receivable from
the Operating Partnership is the Issuer's sole asset.

Each of the Convertible Preferred Securities and the related debentures are
convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Host Marriott
Corporation common stock at the rate of 3.2537 shares per Convertible
Preferred Security (equivalent to a conversion price of $15.367 per share of
Host Marriott Corporation common stock). The Issuer will only convert
Debentures pursuant to a notice of conversion by a holder of Convertible
Preferred Securities. During 2000, 325 shares were converted into common
stock. During 1999 and 1998, no shares were converted into common stock. The
conversion ratio and price were adjusted to reflect the impact of the
Distribution and the Special Dividend.

Holders of the Convertible Preferred Securities are entitled to receive
preferential cumulative cash distributions at an annual rate of 6 3/4%
accruing from the original issue date, commencing March 1, 1997, and payable
quarterly in arrears thereafter. The distribution rate and the distribution
and other payment dates for the Convertible Preferred Securities will
correspond to the interest rate and interest and other payment dates on the
Debentures. The Company may defer interest payments on the Debentures for a
period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. If interest payments on the
Debentures are deferred, so too are payments on the Convertible Preferred
Securities. Under this circumstance, the Company will not be permitted to
declare or pay any cash distributions with respect to its capital stock or
debt securities that rank pari passu with or junior to the Debentures.

Subject to certain restrictions, the Convertible Preferred Securities are
redeemable at the Issuer's option upon any redemption by the Company of the
Debentures after December 2, 1999. Upon repayment at maturity

or as a result of the acceleration of the Debentures upon the occurrence of a
default, the Debentures shall be subject to mandatory redemption, from which
the proceeds will be applied to redeem Convertible Preferred Securities and
Common Securities, together with accrued and unpaid distributions.

The Company repurchased 0.4 million and 1.1 million shares of Convertible
Preferred Securities in 2000 and 1999, respectively, as part of the share
repurchase program described below in Note 8, and in connection with those
repurchases, the Operating Partnership exchanged 1.4 million and 3.4 million
OP Units to Host REIT in exchange for the extinguishment of $22 million and
$53 million of Debentures in 2000 and 1999, respectively.

8. Equity and Partners' Capital

284.9 million and 287.5 million common OP units were outstanding, of which
Host REIT held 221.3 million and 223.5 million, as of December 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. 8.16 million preferred limited partner units were
outstanding as of December 31, 2000 and 1999.

Quarterly distributions of $0.21, $0.21, and $0.23 per common unit were
paid on April 14, July 14, and October 16, 2000, respectively. In addition, a
fourth quarter distribution of $0.26 per common unit was declared on December
18, 2000 and paid on January 12, 2001. A quarterly distribution of $0.21 per
common unit was paid on April 14, July 14, and October 15 of 1999. A fourth
quarter distribution of $0.21 per common unit was declared on December 20,
1999 and paid on January 17, 2000.

During 1999, approximately 586,000 Class TS cumulative redeemable preferred
operating partnership units and approximately 26,000 Class AM cumulative
redeemable preferred operating partnership units (together the "Preferred OP
Units") were issued in connection with the acquisition of minority interests
in two hotels. The Preferred OP Units are convertible into OP Units on a one-
for-one basis, subject to adjustment in specified events, at any time
beginning one year after acquisition, and after conversion to OP Units are
redeemable for cash or at Host REIT's option, Host REIT common shares. The
Company has the right to convert the Preferred OP Units to OP Units two years
from the date of issuance. Preferred OP Unitholders are entitled to receive a
preferential cash distribution of $0.21 per quarter. During 2000, all of the
Class TS Preferred OP Units and approximately 7,000 of the Class AM Preferred
OP Units were converted by the holders to common OP Units. During 2000,
593,000 Preferred OP Units were converted by their respective holders to
common OP Units, and only 19,000 Preferred OP Units were outstanding as of
December 31, 2000.

In September 1999, the Board of Directors of Host Marriott Corporation
approved the repurchase, from time to time on the open market and/or in
privately negotiated transactions, of up to 22 million of the outstanding
shares of the common stock, operating partnership units, or a corresponding
amount of the Convertible Preferred Securities, which are convertible into a
like number of shares of common stock, based on the appropriate conversion
ratio. Such repurchases will be made at management's discretion, subject to
market conditions, and may be suspended at any time at the Company's
discretion. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company repurchased 4.9
million common shares, 0.4 million shares of the Convertible Preferred
Securities and 0.3 million OP Units for a total investment of $62 million.
Since inception of the program, the Company has spent, in the aggregate,
approximately $150 million to retire approximately 16.2 million equivalent
units on a fully diluted basis.

In August 1999, Host REIT sold 4.16 million shares of 10% Class A preferred
stock, and in November 1999, Host REIT sold 4.0 million shares of 10% Class B
preferred stock. The Operating Partnership, in turn, issued equivalent
securities, the Class A Preferred Units and Class B Preferred Units ("Class A
and B Preferred Units"), to Host REIT. Holders of the preferred stock are
entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 10% per annum of
the $25.00 per share liquidation preference, payable quarterly in arrears
commencing

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

October 15, 1999 and January 15, 2000 for the Class A and Class B preferred
stock, respectively. After August 3, 2004 and April 29, 2005, Host REIT has
the option to redeem the Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock,
respectively, for $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the
date of redemption. The Class A and B Preferred Units rank senior to the OP
Units and the Preferred OP Units, and on a parity with each other. The
preferred unitholders generally have no voting rights. Accrued distributions
at December 31, 2000 were $5 million.

The Contribution and related transactions resulted in the exchange of 217.1
million OP Units for substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Host
Marriott Corporation.

In conjunction with the Merger, the Blackstone Acquisition and the
Partnership Mergers (Note 13), the Company issued approximately 73.5 million
OP Units which are convertible into cash or shares of Host Marriott common
stock, at Host Marriott's option. Approximately 63.6 million and 64.0 million
of the OP Units were outstanding as of December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. On February 7, 2001, certain limited partners converted 12.5
million OP Units to Host REIT common shares and immediately sold them to an
underwriter for sale on the open market. As a result, Host REIT now owns
approximately 82% of the outstanding OP Units. The Company received no
proceeds as a result of this transaction.

Host Marriott Corporation issued 11.5 million shares of common stock as
part of the Special Dividend and 8.5 million shares of common stock in
exchange for 8.5 million OP Units issued to certain limited partners in
connection with the Partnership Mergers (Note 13). Also, as part of the REIT
Conversion, Host Marriott Corporation changed its par value from $1 to $0.01
per share. The change in par value did not affect the number of shares
outstanding.

9. Income Taxes

The Operating Partnership is not a tax paying entity. However, the
Operating Partnership under the Operating Partnership Agreement is required to
reimburse Host REIT for any tax payments Host REIT is required to make.
Accordingly, the tax information included herein represents disclosures
regarding Host REIT. As a result of the requirement of the Company to
reimburse Host REIT for these liabilities, such liabilities and related
disclosures are included in the Company's financial statements.

In December 1998, Host REIT restructured itself to enable Host REIT to
qualify for treatment as a REIT, pursuant to the US Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, effective January 1, 1999. In general, a corporation that
elects REIT status and meets certain distribution requirements of its taxable
income to its shareholders as prescribed by applicable tax laws and complies
with certain other requirements (relating primarily to the nature of its
assets and the sources of its revenues) is not subject to Federal income
taxation to the extent it distributes its taxable income. In 2000 and 1999,
Host REIT distributed 100% if its estimated taxable income which amounted to
$.91 and $.84, respectively, per outstanding common share. The entire 2000
distribution was taxable as an ordinary dividend and of the total 1999
distribution, $.83 per share was taxable as ordinary income with the remaining
$.01 per share taxable as a capital gain. Management believes that Host REIT
was organized to qualify as a REIT at the beginning of January 1, 1999 and
intends for it to qualify in subsequent years (including distribution of at
least 95% of its REIT taxable income to shareholders each year, 90% beginning
January 1, 2001). Management expects that Host REIT will pay taxes on "built-
in gains" on only certain of its assets. Based on these considerations,
management does not believe that Host REIT will be liable for income taxes at
the federal level or in most of the states in which it operates in future
years.

In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other
things, Host REIT was required to distribute all of its accumulated earnings
and profits ("E&P") to its stockholders in one or more taxable

71


HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

dividends prior to December 31, 1999. To accomplish the requisite
distributions of accumulated E&P, Host Marriott made distributions consisting
of approximately 20.4 million shares of Crestline valued at $297 million, $73
million in cash, and approximately 11.5 million shares of Host Marriott stock
valued at $138 million. Management believes it distributed all required E&P
prior to December 31, 1999. Host REIT's final calculation of E&P and the
distribution thereof is subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service.

Where required, deferred income taxes are accounted for using the asset and
liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for
temporary differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when
such amounts are realized or settled. However, deferred tax assets are
recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will
be realized based on consideration of available evidence, including tax
planning strategies and other factors. As permitted by the REIT Modernization
Act, the Company purchased the Crestline Lessee Entities with respect to 116
of its full-service hotels effective January 1, 2001. On December 31, 2000,
the Company recorded a non-recurring, pretax loss provision of $207 million
net of a tax benefit of $82 million which the Company has recognized as a
deferred tax asset which the Company expects to realize over the remaining
initial lease term.

Total deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2000 and December
31, 1999 were as follows:

As of February 28, 2001, Host REIT had settled with the Internal Revenue
Service substantially all outstanding issues for tax years through 1998. Host
REIT expects to resolve any remaining issues with no material impact on the
consolidated financial statements. Host REIT made net payments to the IRS of
approximately $14 million in 1999 and $27 million in 1998 related to these
settlements, and an additional $24 million was paid during the first quarter
of 2001. As a result of settling these outstanding contingencies, Host REIT
reversed $32 million and $26 million of recorded liabilities in 2000 and 1999,
respectively, as a benefit to the tax provision.

A reconciliation of the statutory Federal tax rate to Host REIT's effective
income tax rate follows (excluding the impact of the change in tax status and
acquisition of the Crestline Lessee Entities):



2000 1999 1998
----- ----- ----

Cash paid for income taxes, including IRS settlements, net of refunds
received, was $30 million in 2000, $50 million in 1999 and $83 million in
1998.

10. Leases

Hotel Leases. Due to federal income tax law restrictions on a REIT's
ability to derive revenues directly from the operation of a hotel, the Company
leased its hotels (the "Leases") to one or more third party lessees (the
"Lessees"), primarily subsidiaries of Crestline, effective January 1, 1999.
The REIT Modernization Act amended the tax laws to permit REITs, effective
January 1, 2001, to lease hotels to a subsidiary that qualifies as a TRS.
Accordingly, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Host LP, which has elected to be
treated as a TRS for federal income tax purposes, acquired the Crestline
Lessee Entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 116 of the
Company's full-service hotels during January 2001. As a result, effective
January 1, 2001, the TRS replaced Crestline as lessee under the applicable
leases.

There generally is a separate lessee for each hotel or group of hotels that
is owned by a separate subsidiary of the Company. The operating agreements for
such Lessees provide that the Lessee has full control over the management of
the business of the Lessee, subject to blocking rights by Marriott
International, for hotel properties where it is the manager, over certain
decisions by virtue of its non-economic, limited voting interest in the lessee
subsidiaries. Each full-service hotel Lease has a fixed term generally ranging
from seven to ten years, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of
certain contingencies as defined in the Leases. Each Lease requires the Lessee
to pay 1) minimum rent in a fixed dollar amount per annum plus 2) to the
extent it exceeds minimum rent, percentage rent based upon specified
percentages of aggregate sales from the applicable hotel, including room
sales, food and beverage sales, and other income in excess of specified
thresholds. The amount of minimum rent and the percentage rent thresholds will
be adjusted each year based upon the average

73


HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

of the increases in the Consumer Price Index and the Employment Cost Index
during the previous 10 months, as well as for certain capital expenditures and
casualty occurrences.

If the Company anticipates that the average tax basis of the Company's FF&E
and other personal property that are leased by any individual lessor entity
will exceed 15% of the aggregate average tax basis of the fixed assets in that
entity, then the Lessee would be obligated either to acquire such excess FF&E
from the Company or to cause a third party to purchase such FF&E. The Lessee
has agreed to give a right of first opportunity to a Non-Controlled Subsidiary
to acquire the excess FF&E and to lease the excess FF&E to the Lessee.

Each Lessee is responsible for paying all of the expenses of operating the
applicable hotel(s), including all personnel costs, utility costs and general
repair and maintenance of the hotel(s). The Lessee also is responsible for all
fees payable to the applicable manager, including base and incentive
management fees, chain services payments and franchise or system fees, with
respect to periods covered by the term of the Lease. Host Marriott also
remains liable under each management agreement.

The Company is responsible for paying real estate taxes, personal property
taxes (to the extent the Company owns the personal property), casualty
insurance on the structures, ground lease rent payments, required expenditures
for FF&E (including maintaining the FF&E reserve, to the extent such is
required by the applicable management agreement) and other capital
expenditures.

Crestline Guarantees. During 1999 and 2000, Crestline and certain of its
subsidiaries, as lessees under virtually all of the hotel leases, entered into
limited guarantees of the Lease obligations of each Lessee. The full-service
hotel leases are grouped into four lease pools (determined on the basis of the
term of the particular Lease with all leases having generally the same lease
term placed in the same "pool"). For each of the four identified pools, the
cumulative limit of Crestline's guaranty obligation is the greater of 10% of
the aggregate rent payable for the immediately preceding fiscal year under all
Leases in the pool or 10% of the aggregate rent payable under all Leases in
the pool. For each pool, the subsidiary of Crestline that is the parent of the
Lessees in the pool (a "Pool Parent") also is a party to the guaranty of the
Lease obligations for that pool. Effective January 1, 2001, a wholly-owned TRS
of the Company replaced Crestline as lessee with respect to 116 of the
Company's full-service hotels. As a result, there no longer is a significant
third party credit concentration as of that date.

The obligations of the Pool Parent under each guaranty is secured by all
funds received by the applicable Pool Parent from the hotels in the pool, and
the hotels in the pool are required to distribute their excess cash flow to
the Pool Parent for each accounting period, under certain conditions as
described by the guaranty.

As a result of the limited guarantees of the lease obligations of the
Lessees, the Company believes that the operating results of each full-service
lease pool may be material to the Company's financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. Separate financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 for each of the four lease pools in which the
Company's hotels were organized are presented in Item 8 of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K. Financial information of certain pools related to the sublease
agreements for limited service properties are not presented, as the Company
believes they are not material to the Company's financial statements.
Financial information of Crestline may be found in its quarterly and annual
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Operating Partnership sold the existing working capital to the
applicable Lessee upon the commencement of the Lease at a price equal to the
fair market value of such assets. The purchase price is represented by a note
evidencing a loan that bears interest at a rate of 5.12%. Interest accrued on
the working capital loan is due simultaneously with each periodic rent
payment, and the amount of each payment of interest is credited against such
rent payment. The principal amount of the working capital loan is payable upon

74


HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

termination of the Lease. The Lessee can return the working capital in
satisfaction of the note. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the note
receivable from Crestline for working capital was $91 million and $90 million,
respectively. In connection with the acquisition of the Crestline Lessee
Entities, the working capital related to the 116 hotels, which was valued at
approximately $90 million, was acquired by the Company's TRS.

In the event the Company enters into an agreement to sell or otherwise
transfer any full-service hotel free and clear of the applicable Lease, the
Lessor must pay the Lessee a termination fee equal to the lesser of (i) the
fair market value of the Lessee's leasehold interest in the remaining term of
the Lease using a discount rate of 12% or (ii) the allocated purchase price
for that particular lease, reduced by any amounts reflected as deductions for
federal income tax purposes. Alternatively, the Lessor will be entitled to (i)
substitute a comparable hotel or hotels for any hotel that is sold or (ii)
sell the hotel subject to the Lease and certain conditions without being
required to pay a termination fee.

Hospitality Properties Trust Relationship. In a series of related
transactions in 1995 and 1996, the Company sold and leased back 53 of its
Courtyard properties and 18 of its Residence Inns to Hospitality Properties
Trust ("HPT"). These leases, which are accounted for as operating leases and
are included in the table below, have initial terms expiring through 2012 for
the Courtyard properties and 2010 for the Residence Inn properties, and are
renewable at the option of the Company. Minimum rent payments are $51 million
annually for the Courtyard properties and $17 million annually for the
Residence Inn properties, and additional rent based upon sales levels are
payable to the owner under the terms of the leases.

In connection with the REIT Conversion, the Operating Partnership sublet
the HPT hotels (the "Subleases") to separate indirect sublessee subsidiaries
of Crestline ("Sublessee"), subject to the terms of the applicable HPT Lease.
The term of each Sublease expires simultaneously with the expiration of the
initial term of the HPT lease to which it relates and automatically renews for
the corresponding renewal term under the HPT lease, unless either the HPT
lessee (the "Sublessor") elects not to renew the HPT lease, or the Sublessee
elects not to renew the Sublease at the expiration of the initial term
provided, however, that neither party can elect to terminate fewer than all of
the Subleases in a particular pool of HPT hotels (one for Courtyard by
Marriott hotels and one for Residence Inn hotels). Rent under the Sublease
consists of the Minimum Rent payable under the HPT lease and an additional
percentage rent payable to the Sublessor. The percentage rent is sufficient to
cover the additional rent due under the HPT lease, with any excess being
retained by the Sublessor. The rent payable under the Subleases is guaranteed
by Crestline, up to a maximum amount of $30 million which amount is allocated
between the two pools of HPT hotels.

HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Other Lease Information. A number of the Company's leased hotel properties
also include long-term ground leases for certain hotels, generally with
multiple renewal options. Certain leases contain provision for the payment of
contingent rentals based on a percentage of sales in excess of stipulated
amounts. Future minimum annual rental commitments for all non-cancelable
leases for which the Company is the lessee are as follows:



Capital Operating
Leases Leases
------- ---------
(in millions)

2001....................................................... $ 6 $ 105
2002....................................................... 6 102
2003....................................................... 6 97

Total minimum lease payments............................... 21 $1,721
======
Less amount representing interest.......................... (4)

Present value of minimum lease payments.................. $17
===


Certain of the lease payments included in the table above relate to
facilities used in the Company's former restaurant business. Most leases
contain one or more renewal options, generally for five or 10-year periods.
Future rentals on leases have not been reduced by aggregate minimum sublease
rentals from restaurants and HPT subleases of $61 million and $789 million,
respectively, payable to the Company under non-cancellable subleases.

In conjunction with the refinancing of the mortgage of the New York
Marriott Marquis in 1999, the Company also renegotiated the terms of the
ground lease, retroactive to 1998. The renegotiated ground lease provides for
the payment of a percentage of the hotel sales (3% in 1998, 4% in 1999 and 5%
thereafter) through 2017, which is to be used to amortize the then existing
deferred ground rent obligation of $116 million. The Company has the right to
purchase the land under certain circumstances. The balance of the deferred
ground rent obligation was $77 million and $86 million at December 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively, and is included in other liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheets.

The Company remains contingently liable at December 31, 2000 on certain
leases relating to divested non-lodging properties. Such contingent
liabilities aggregated $68 million at December 31, 2000. However, management
considers the likelihood of any substantial funding related to these leases to
be remote.

11. Employee Stock Plans

In connection with the REIT conversion, the Company assumed the employee
obligations of Host REIT. Upon the exercise of stock options in Host REIT
common stock, Host REIT will issue shares of its common stock in return for
the issuance of an equal number of OP Units of the Company. Accordingly, those
liabilities and related disclosures are included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

At December 31, 2000, Host REIT maintained two stock-based compensation
plans, including the comprehensive stock plan (the "Comprehensive Plan"),
whereby Host REIT may award to participating employees (i) options to purchase
Host REIT's common stock, (ii) deferred shares of Host REIT's common stock and
(iii) restricted shares of Host REIT's common stock and the employee stock
purchase plan (the "Employee Stock Purchase Plan"). Total shares of common
stock reserved and available for issuance under the Comprehensive Plan at
December 31, 2000 was 13.1 million.

Employee stock options may be granted to officers and key employees with an
exercise price not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the
date of grant. Non-qualified options generally expire up to 15 years after the
date of grant. Most options vest ratably over each of the first four years
following the date of the grant. In connection with the Marriott International
Distribution in 1993, Host Marriott issued an equivalent number of Marriott
International options and adjusted the exercise prices of its options then
outstanding based on the relative trading prices of shares of the common stock
of companies.

In connection with the Host Marriott Services ("HM Services") spin-off in
1995, outstanding options held by current and former employees of the Company
were redenominated in both Company and HM Services stock and the exercise
prices of the options were adjusted based on the relative trading prices of
shares of the common stock of the two companies. Pursuant to the distribution
agreement between the Company and HM Services, the Company originally had the
right to receive up to 1.4 million shares of HM Services' common stock or an
equivalent cash value subsequent to exercise of the options held by certain
former and current employees of Marriott International. On August 27, 1999,
Autogrill Acquisition Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Autogrill SpA of
Italy, acquired Host Marriott Services Corporation. Since Host Marriott
Services is no longer publicly traded, all future payments to the Company will
be made in cash, as Host Marriott Services Corporation has indicated that the
receivable will not be settled in Autogrill SpA stock. As of December 31, 2000
and 1999, the receivable balance was approximately $8.8 million and $11.9
million, respectively, which is included in other assets in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.

Effective December 29, 1998, the Company adjusted the number of outstanding
stock options and the related exercise prices to maintain the intrinsic value
of the options to account for the Special Dividend and the Distribution. The
vesting provisions and option period of the original grant was retained. No
compensation expense was recorded by the Company as a result of these
adjustments. Employee optionholders that remained with the Company received
options only in the Company's stock and those employee optionholders that
became Crestline employees received Crestline options in exchange for the
Company's options.

The Company continues to account for expense under its plans according to
the provisions of Accounting Principle Board Opinion 25 and related
interpretations as permitted under SFAS No. 123. Consequently, no compensation
cost has been recognized for its fixed stock options under the Comprehensive
Plan and its Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

For purposes of the following disclosures required by SFAS No. 123, the
fair value of each option granted has been estimated on the date of grant
using an option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions
used for grants in 2000 and 1999, respectively: risk-free interest rates of
5.1% and 6.4%, volatility of 32% and 32%, expected lives of 12 years and 12
years, and dividend yield of $.91 per share and $0.84 per

77


HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

share. The weighted average fair value per option granted during the year was
$1.06 in 2000 and $1.15 in 1999. Pro forma compensation cost for 2000, 1999
and 1998 would have reduced net income by approximately $811,000, $919,000 and
$524,000, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share on a pro forma
basis were not impacted by the pro forma compensation cost in 2000, 1999 and
1998.

The effects of the implementation of SFAS No. 123 are not representative of
the effects on reported net income in future years because only the effects of
stock option awards granted in 1997 and subsequent years have been considered.

A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan for 2000, 1999
and 1998 follows:



2000 1999 1998

Deferred stock incentive plan shares granted to officers and key employees
after 1990 generally vest over 10 years in annual installments commencing one
year after the date of grant. Certain employees may elect to defer payments
until termination or retirement. The Company accrues compensation expense for
the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, less estimated
forfeitures. In 2000, 1999 and 1998, 20,000, 11,000 and 12,000 shares were
granted, respectively, under this plan. The compensation cost that has been
charged against income for deferred stock was not material in 2000, 1999 and
1998. The weighted average fair value per share granted during each year was
$9.44 in 2000, $14.31 in 1999 and $19.21 in 1998.

The Company from time to time awards restricted stock plan shares under the
Comprehensive Plan to officers and key executives to be distributed over the
next three to 10 years in annual installments based on

78


HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

continued employment and the attainment of certain performance criteria. The
Company recognizes compensation expense over the restriction period equal to
the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance adjusted for
forfeitures, and where appropriate, the level of attainment of performance
criteria and fluctuations in the fair market value of the Company's common
stock. In 2000, 1999 and 1998, 889,000, 3,203,000, and 2,900 shares of
additional restricted stock plan shares were granted to certain key employees
under these terms and conditions. Approximately 106,000 and 747,000 shares
were forfeited in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company recorded
compensation expense of $11 million, $7.7 million and $11 million in 2000,
1999 and 1998, respectively, related to these awards. The weighted average
grant date fair value per share granted during each year was $8.87 in 2000,
$12.83 in 1999 and $18.13 in 1998. Under these awards 3,612,000 shares were
outstanding at December 31, 2000.

In 1998, 568,408 stock appreciation rights ("SARs") were issued under the
Comprehensive Plan to certain directors of the Company as a replacement for
previously issued options that were cancelled during the year. The conversion
to SARs was completed in order to comply with ownership limits applicable to
the Company upon conversion to a REIT. The SARs are fully vested and the grant
prices range from $1.20 to $5.13. In 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company
recognized compensation (income) expense of $1.4 million, $(2.7) million and
$4.8 million, respectively, related to this grant. Additionally, in future
periods, the Company will recognize compensation expense for outstanding SARs
as a result of fluctuations in the market price of the Company's common stock.

Under the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, eligible employees may
purchase common stock through payroll deductions at 90% of the lower of market
value at the beginning or market value at the end of the plan year.

12. Profit Sharing and Postemployment Benefit Plans

The Company contributes to profit sharing and other defined contribution
plans for the benefit of employees meeting certain eligibility requirements
and electing participation in the plans. The amount to be matched by the
Company is determined annually by Host REIT's Board of Directors. The Company
provides medical benefits to a limited number of retired employees meeting
restrictive eligibility requirements. Amounts for these items were not
material in 1998 through 2000.

13. Acquisitions and Dispositions

The Company acquired the remaining unaffiliated partnership interests in
two full-service hotels by issuing approximately 612,000 cumulative preferred
OP Units and paid cash of approximately $6.8 million. During 2000, the holders
of approximately 593,000 cumulative preferred OP Units converted to common OP
Units on a one-for-one basis.

The Company acquired or gained controlling interest in 36 hotels with
15,166 rooms in 1998. Twenty-five of the 1998 acquisitions, consisting of the
Blackstone Acquisition and the Partnership Mergers, were completed on December
30, 1998 in conjunction with the REIT Conversion. Additionally, three full-
service properties were contributed to one of the Non-Controlled Subsidiaries
(Note 5). These acquisitions are summarized below.

In December 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of, or controlling
interests in, twelve hotels and one mortgage loan secured by an additional
hotel (the "Blackstone Acquisition") from the Blackstone Group, a Delaware
limited partnership, and a series of funds controlled by affiliates of
Blackstone Real Estate Partners (together, the "Blackstone Entities"). In
addition, the Company acquired a 25% interest in Swissotel Management (USA)
L.L.C., which operates five Swissotel hotels in the United States, which the
Company transferred to Crestline in connection with the Distribution. The
Operating Partnership issued approximately 47.7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

million OP Units, which OP Units are redeemable for the Company's common stock
(or cash equivalent at Host Marriott's option), assumed debt and made cash
payments totaling approximately $920 million and distributed 1.4 million of the
shares of Crestline common stock to the Blackstone Entities. As of December 31,
2000, the Blackstone Entities owned approximately 16% of the outstanding OP
Units of the Operating Partnership. On February 7, 2001, the Blackstone
Entities converted 12.5 million OP Units to common shares and immediately sold
them to an underwriter for sale on the open market. As a result, the Blackstone
Entities now own approximately 12% of the outstanding OP Units of the Operating
Partnership.

In December 1998, the Company announced the completion of the Partnership
Mergers which was the roll-up of eight public partnerships and four private
partnerships which own or control 28 properties, 13 of which were already
consolidated (the "Partnership Mergers"). The Operating Partnership issued
approximately 25.8 million OP Units to partners for their interests valued at
approximately $333 million. As of December 31, 2000, approximately 16.6 million
OP Units remain outstanding.

As a result of these transactions, the Company increased its ownership of
most of the 28 properties to 100% while consolidating 13 additional hotels
(4,445 rooms).

During 1998, prior to the Partnership mergers, the Company acquired a
controlling interest in the Atlanta Marriott Marquis II Limited Partnership,
which owns an interest in the 1,671-room Atlanta Marriott Marquis for
approximately $239 million. The Company also acquired a controlling interest in
two partnerships that own four hotels for approximately $74 million. In
addition, the Company acquired four Ritz-Carlton hotels and two additional
hotels totaling over 2,200 rooms for approximately $465 million.

During 1999 and 1998, the Company disposed of seven hotels (2,430 rooms) for
a total consideration of $410 million and recognized a net gain of $74 million.

During 2000 and 1999, respectively, approximately 652,000 and 467,000 OP
Units were redeemed for common stock and an additional 360,000 and 233,000 OP
Units were redeemed for $3 million and $2 million in cash.

15. Marriott International Distribution and Relationship with Marriott
International

The Company and Marriott International (formerly a wholly owned subsidiary,
the common stock of which was distributed to the Company's shareholders on
October 8, 1993) have entered into various agreements in connection with the
Marriott International Distribution and thereafter which provide, among other
things, that (i) the majority of the Company's hotel lodging properties are
managed by Marriott International (see Note 16); (ii) nine of the Company's
full-service properties are operated under franchise agreements with Marriott
International with terms of 15 to 30 years; (iii) Marriott International and
the Company formed a joint venture and Marriott International provided the
Company with $29 million in debt financing at an average interest rate of
12.7% and $28 million in preferred equity in 1996 for the acquisition of two
full-service properties in Mexico City, Mexico; and (iv) Marriott
International provides certain limited administrative services.

Additionally, Marriott International has the right to purchase up to 20% of
the voting stock of the Company if certain events involving a change in
control of the Company occur.

During December 2000, the newly created Joint Venture formed by Rockledge
and Marriott International acquired the partnership interests in two
partnerships that collectively own 120 limited service hotels for
approximately $372 million plus interest and legal fees (see Note 5). The
Joint Venture financed the acquisition with mezzanine indebtedness borrowed
from Marriott International and with cash and other assets contributed by
Rockledge and Marriott International. Rockledge and Marriott International
each own a 50% interest in the Joint Venture as of December 31, 2000.

In 1998, the Company paid to Marriott International $196 million in hotel
management fees and $9 million in franchise fees. Beginning in 1999, these
fees, totaling $240 million and $218 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively,
were paid by the lessees (see Note 10). In 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company
paid to Marriott International $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $4 million,
respectively, in interest and commitment fees under the debt financing and
line of credit provided by Marriott International and $2 million, $3 million,
and $3 million, respectively, for limited administrative services and office
space. In connection with the discontinued senior living communities'
business, the Company paid Marriott International $13 million in management
fees during 1998.

16. Hotel Management Agreements

Most of the Company's hotels are subject to management agreements (the
"Agreements") under which Marriott International manages the Company's hotels,
generally for an initial term of 15 to 20 years with renewal terms at the
option of Marriott International of up to an additional 16 to 30 years. The
Agreements generally provide for payment of base management fees equal to one
to four percent of sales and incentive management fees generally equal to 20%
to 50% of Operating Profit (as defined in the Agreements) over a priority
return (as defined) to the Company, with total incentive management fees not
to exceed 20% of cumulative Operating Profit, or 20% of current year Operating
Profit. In the event of early termination of the Agreements, Marriott
International will receive additional fees based on the unexpired term and
expected future base and incentive management fees. The Company has the option
to terminate certain management agreements if specified performance thresholds
are not satisfied. No agreement with respect to a single lodging facility is
cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted to any other agreement and a single
agreement may be canceled under certain conditions, although such cancellation
will not trigger the cancellation of any other agreement.

81


HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


As a result of the REIT Conversion, all fees payable under the Agreements
for subsequent periods are the primary obligations of the Lessees. The
obligations of the leases with Crestline were guaranteed to a limited extent
by Crestline on 116 of the leases through December 31, 2000. The Company
remained obligated to the managers in case the Lessee fails to pay these fees
(but it would be entitled to reimbursement from the lessee under the terms of
the Leases). Effective January 1, 2001, the Company effectively terminated the
Crestline leases through the purchase of the Crestline Lessee Entities by the
Company's wholly-owned TRS. The TRS will assume the obligations under the
Agreements as lessee.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, Marriott International is required
to furnish the hotels with certain services ("Chain Services") which are
generally provided on a central or regional basis to all hotels in the
Marriott International hotel system. Chain Services include central training,
advertising and promotion, a national reservation system, computerized payroll
and accounting services, and such additional services as needed which may be
more efficiently performed on a centralized basis. Costs and expenses incurred
in providing such services are required to be allocated among all domestic
hotels managed, owned or leased by Marriott International or its subsidiaries.
In addition, the Company's hotels also participate in the Marriott Rewards
program. The cost of this program is charged to all hotels in the Marriott
hotel system.

The Lessees are obligated to provide the manager with sufficient funds to
cover the cost of (a) certain non-routine repairs and maintenance to the
hotels which are normally capitalized; and (b) replacements and renewals to
the hotels' property and improvements. Under certain circumstances, the lessee
will be required to establish escrow accounts for such purposes under terms
outlined in the Agreements.

The Lessees assumed franchise agreements with Marriott International for 10
hotels. Pursuant to these franchise agreements, the Lessee generally pays a
franchise fee based on a percentage of room sales and food and beverage sales
as well as certain other fees for advertising and reservations. Franchise fees
for room sales vary from four to six percent of sales, while fees for food and
beverage sales vary from two to three percent of sales. The terms of the
franchise agreements are from 15 to 30 years.

The Lessees assumed management agreements with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel
Company, LLC ("Ritz-Carlton"), an affiliate of Marriott International, to
manage nine of the Company's hotels. These agreements have an initial term of
15 to 25 years with renewal terms at the option of Ritz-Carlton of up to an
additional 10 to 40 years. Base management fees vary from two to five percent
of sales and incentive management fees are generally equal to 20% of available
cash flow or operating profit, as defined in the agreements.

The Lessees also assumed management agreements with hotel management
companies other than Marriott International and Ritz-Carlton for 23 of the
Company's hotels (10 of which are franchised under the Marriott brand). These
agreements generally provide for an initial term of 10 to 20 years with
renewal terms at the option of either party or, in some cases, the hotel
management company of up to an additional one to 15 years. The agreements
generally provide for payment of base management fees equal to one to four
percent of sales. Seventeen of the 23 agreements also provide for incentive
management fees generally equal to 10 to 25 percent of available cash flow,
operating profit, or net operating income, as defined in the agreements.

17. Relationship with Crestline Capital Corporation

The Company and Crestline entered into various agreements in connection
with the Distribution as discussed in Note 3 and further outlined below.

Distribution Agreement

Crestline and the Company entered into a distribution agreement (the
"Distribution Agreement"), which provided for, among other things, (i) the
distribution of shares of Crestline in connection with the Distribution;

82


HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

(ii) the division between Crestline and the Company of certain assets and
liabilities; (iii) the transfer to Crestline of the 25% interest in the
Swissotel management company acquired in the Blackstone Acquisition and (iv)
certain other agreements governing the relationship between Crestline and the
Company following the Distribution. Crestline also granted the Company a
contingent right to purchase Crestline's interest in Swissotel Management
(USA) L.L.C. at fair market value in the event the tax laws are changed so
that the Company could own such interest without jeopardizing its status as a
REIT.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Distribution Agreement provides for,
among other things, assumptions of liabilities and cross-indemnities designed
to allocate to Crestline, effective as of the date of the Distribution,
financial responsibilities for liabilities arising out of, or in connection
with, the business of the senior living communities.

Asset Management Agreement

The Company and the Non-Controlled Subsidiaries entered into asset
management agreements (the "Asset Management Agreements") with Crestline
whereby Crestline agreed to provide advice on the operation of the hotels and
review financial results, projections, loan documents and hotel management
agreements. Crestline also agreed to consult on market conditions and
competition, as well as monitor and negotiate with governmental agencies,
insurance companies and contractors. Crestline was entitled to a fee not to
exceed $4.5 million for each calendar year for its consulting services under
the Asset Management Agreements, which included $0.25 million related to the
Non-Controlled Subsidiaries. The Asset Management Agreements were terminated
effective January 1, 2001 in connection with the acquisition of the Crestline
Lessee Entities.

Non-Competition Agreement

Crestline and the Company entered into a non-competition agreement that
limited the respective parties' future business opportunities. Pursuant to
this non-competition agreement, Crestline agreed, among other things, that
until the earlier of December 31, 2008, or the date on which it is no longer a
Lessee of more than 25% of the number of hotels owned by the Company at the
time of the Distribution, it would not own any full service hotel, manage any
limited service or full service hotel owned by the Company, or own or operate
a full service hotel franchise system operating under a common name brand,
subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Company agreed not to
participate in the business of leasing, operating or franchising limited
service or full service properties, subject to certain exceptions. In
connection with the acquisition of the Crestline Lessee Entities, the non-
competition agreement was terminated effective January 1, 2001.

18. Geographic and Business Segment Information

The Company operates one business segment, hotel ownership. The Company's
hotels are primarily operated under the Marriott or Ritz-Carlton brands,
contain an average of approximately 478 rooms as of December 31, 2000, as well
as supply other amenities such as meeting space and banquet facilities; a
variety of restaurants and lounges; gift shops and swimming pools. They are
typically located in downtown, airport, suburban and resort areas throughout
the United States. During most of 1998, the Company's foreign operations
consisted of six full-service hotel properties located in Mexico and Canada.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company's foreign operations had decreased to
four Canadian hotel properties, as the hotels in Mexico were contributed to
Rockledge Hotel Properties, Inc. There were no intercompany sales between the
properties and the Company. The following table presents revenues and long-
lived assets for each of the geographical areas in which the Company operates

All subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the Senior Notes except those
owning 48 of the Company's full service hotels and HMH HPT RIBM LLC and HMH
HPT CBM LLC, the lessees of the Residence Inn and Courtyard properties,
respectively. The separate financial statements of each guaranteeing
subsidiary (each, a "Guarantor Subsidiary") are not presented because the
Company's management has concluded that such financial statements are not

In December 1999, the Company retroactively changed its method of
accounting for contingent rental revenues to conform to the Securities and
Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101. As a result,
contingent rental revenue is deferred on the balance sheet until certain
revenue thresholds are realized. SAB No. 101 has no impact on full-year 2000
and 1999 revenues, net income, or earnings per share because all rental
revenues considered contingent under SAB No. 101 were earned as of December
31, 2000 and 1999. The change in accounting principle has no effect prior to
1999 because percentage rent relates to rental income on our leases, which
began in 1999.

For all years presented, the first three quarters consist of 12 weeks each
and the fourth quarter includes 16 weeks. The sum of the basic and diluted
earnings (loss) per common share for the four quarters in all years presented
differs from the annual earnings per common share due to the required method
of computing the weighted average number of shares in the respective periods.

To CCHP I Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CCHP I
Corporation and its subsidiaries (a Delaware corporation) as of December 29,
2000 and December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholder's equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended
December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of CCHP I Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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 financial position of CCHP I
Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the fiscal years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the

CCHP I CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

CCHP I Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of
Delaware on November 23, 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Crestline
Capital Corporation ("Crestline"). On December 29, 1998, Crestline became a
publicly traded company when Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott")
completed its plan of reorganizing its business operations by spinning-off
Crestline to the shareholders of Host Marriott as part of a series of
transactions pursuant to which Host Marriott converted into a real estate
investment trust ("REIT").

On December 31, 1998, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the "Tenant
Subsidiaries") entered into lease agreements with Host Marriott to lease 35 of
Host Marriott's full-service hotels with the existing management agreements of
the leased hotels assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries. As of December 29,
2000, the Company leased 34 full-service hotels from Host Marriott.

The Company operates as a unit of Crestline, utilizing Crestline's
employees, insurance and administrative services since the Company does not
have any employees. Certain direct expenses are paid by Crestline and charged
directly or allocated to the Company. Certain general and administrative costs
of Crestline are allocated to the Company, using a variety of methods,
principally including Crestline's specific identification of individual costs
and otherwise through allocations based upon estimated levels of effort
devoted by general and administrative departments to the Company or relative
measures of the size of the Company based on revenues. In the opinion of
management, the methods for allocating general and administrative expenses and
other direct costs are reasonable.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances
between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.

Fiscal Year

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest December 31.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less at date of purchase as cash equivalents.

Revenues

The Company records the gross property-level revenues generated by the
hotels as revenues.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

Hotel Leases

The Tenant Subsidiaries entered into leases with Host Marriott effective
January 1, 1999 for 35 full-service hotels. See Note 6 for a discussion of the
sale of all but one of the full-service hotel leases in 2001.

Each hotel lease had an initial term generally ranging from three to seven
years. The Tenant Subsidiaries were required to pay the greater of (i) a
minimum rent specified in each hotel lease or (ii) a percentage rent based
upon a specified percentage of aggregate revenues from the hotel, including
room revenues, food and beverage revenues, and other income, in excess of
specified thresholds. The amount of minimum rent is increased each year based
upon 50% of the increase in CPI during the previous twelve months. Percentage
rent thresholds are increased each year based on a blend of the increases in
CPI and the Employment Cost Index during the previous twelve months. The hotel
leases generally provided for a rent adjustment in the event of damage,
destruction, partial taking or certain capital expenditures.

The Tenant Subsidiaries were responsible for paying all of the expenses of
operating the hotels, including all personnel costs, utility costs, and
general repair and maintenance of the hotels. In addition, the Tenant
Subsidiaries were responsible for all fees payable to the hotel manager,
including base and incentive management fees, chain services payments and
franchise or system fees. Host Marriott was responsible for real estate and
personal property taxes, property casualty insurance, equipment rent, ground
lease rent, maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital
expenditures.

For those hotels where Marriott International is the manager, it had a
noneconomic membership interest with certain limited voting rights in the
Tenant Subsidiaries.

FF&E Leases

Prior to entering into the hotel leases, if the average tax basis of a
hotel's FF&E and other personal property exceeded 15% of the aggregate average
tax basis of the hotel's real and personal property (the "Excess FF&E"),

99


CCHP I CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

the Tenant Subsidiaries and affiliates of Host Marriott entered into lease
agreements (the "FF&E Leases") for the Excess FF&E. The terms of the FF&E
Leases generally ranged from two to three years and rent under the FF&E Leases
was a fixed amount.

Guaranty and Pooling Agreement

In connection with entering into the hotel leases, the Company, Crestline
and Host Marriott, entered into a pool guarantee and a pooling and security
agreement by which the Company provided a full guarantee and Crestline
provided a limited guarantee of all of the hotel lease obligations.

The cumulative limit of Crestline's guarantee obligation was the greater of
ten percent of the aggregate rent payable for the immediately preceding fiscal
year under all of the Company's hotel leases or ten percent of the aggregate
rent payable under all of the Company's hotel leases for 1999. In the event
that Crestline's obligation under the pooling and guarantee agreement was
reduced to zero, the Company could terminate the agreement and Host Marriott
could terminate the Company's hotel leases without penalty.

All of the Company's leases were cross-defaulted and the Company's
obligations under the guaranty were secured by all the funds received from its
Tenant Subsidiaries.

Note 3. Working Capital Notes

Upon the commencement of the hotel leases, the Company purchased the
working capital of the leased hotels from Host Marriott for $26,832,000 with
the purchase price evidenced by notes that bear interest at 5.12%. Interest on
each note is due simultaneously with the rent payment of each hotel lease. The
principal amount of each note is due upon the termination of each hotel lease.
See Note 6 for a discussion of the repayment of all but one of the hotel
working notes in 2001. As of December 29, 2000, the outstanding balance of the
working capital notes was $26,011,000.

Debt maturities at December 29, 2000 are as follows (in thousands):



2001................................................................. $ 1,340
2002................................................................. --
2003................................................................. 3,005
2004................................................................. --
2005................................................................. 21,666
-------
$26,011
=======


Cash paid for interest expense in 2000 and 1999 totaled $1,351,000 and
$1,463,000, respectively.

Note 4. Management Agreements

All of the Company's hotels are operated by hotel management companies
under long-term hotel management agreements between Host Marriott and hotel
management companies. The existing management agreements were assigned to the
Tenant Subsidiaries upon the execution of the hotel leases for the term of
each corresponding hotel lease. See Note 6 for a discussion of the transfer of
all of the management contracts to Host Marriott in 2001.

The Tenant Subsidiaries were obligated to perform all of the obligations of
Host Marriott under the hotel management agreements including payment of fees
due under the management agreements other than certain

100


CCHP I CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

obligations including payment of property taxes, property casualty insurance
and ground rent, maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital
expenditures for which Host Marriott retained responsibility.

Marriott International manages 30 of the 34 hotels under long-term
management agreements. The remaining four hotels are managed by other hotel
management companies. The management agreements generally provide for payment
of base management fees equal to one to four percent of revenues and incentive
management fees generally equal to 20% to 50% of Operating Profit (as defined
in the management agreements) over a priority return (as defined) to the
Tenant Subsidiaries, with total incentive management fees not to exceed 20% of
cumulative Operating Profit, or 20% of current year Operating Profit.

Note 5. Income Taxes

The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of
Crestline and its affiliates (the "Group"). Tax expense is allocated to the
Company as a member of the Group based upon the relative contribution to the
Group's consolidated taxable income/loss and changes in temporary differences.
This allocation method results in Federal, state and Canadian tax expense
allocated for the period presented that is substantially equal to the expense
that would have been recognized if the Company had filed separate tax returns.

The provision for income taxes for the fiscal years 2000 and 1999 consists
of the following (in thousands):



2000 1999
------ ------

Current........................................................ $3,945 $4,142
Deferred....................................................... 344 1,027
------ ------
$4,289 $5,169
====== ======


The significant difference between the Company's effective income tax rate
and the Federal state tax rate is attributable to the state and Canadian tax
rates.

As of December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company had no deferred
tax assets. The tax effect of the temporary difference that gives rise to the
Company's deferred tax liability is generally attributable to the hotel
working capital.

Note 6. Subsequent Event

On December 17, 1999, the Work Incentives Improvement Act was passed which
contained certain tax provisions related to REITs commonly known as the REIT
Modernization Act ("RMA"). Under the RMA, beginning on January 1, 2001, REITs
could lease hotels to a "taxable subsidiary" if the hotel is operated and
managed on behalf of such subsidiary by an independent third party. This law
enabled Host Marriott, beginning January 2001, to lease its hotels to a
taxable subsidiary. Under the terms of the Company's full-service hotel
leases, Host Marriott, at its sole discretion, could purchase the full-service
hotel leases for a price equal to the fair market value of the Company's
leasehold interest in the leases based upon an agreed upon formula in the
leases.

On November 13, 2000, Crestline, the Company and the Tenant Subsidiaries
entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Host Marriott for the purchase
and sale of Tenant Subsidiaries' leasehold interests in the full-service
hotels. The purchase and sale transaction would generally transfer ownership
of the Tenant Subsidiaries owned by the Company to a subsidiary of Host
Marriott for a total consideration of $32.6 million in cash. On January 10,
2001, upon the receipt of all required consents, the purchase and sale
transaction was completed for $28.2 million, which reflects the deferral of
the sale of one of the leases for $4.4 million. The Company

recognized a pre-tax gain on the transaction of approximately $28 million in
the first quarter of 2001, net of transaction costs. The effective date of the
transaction was January 1, 2001.

In connection with the sale of the Tenant Subsidiaries, the hotel working
capital notes for all but one of the full-service hotels were repaid.
Accordingly, the Company's remaining hotel working capital notes payable to
Host Marriott after the sale of the Tenant Subsidiaries on January 10, 2001
totaled $2,003,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To CCHP II Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CCHP II
Corporation and its subsidiaries (a Delaware corporation) as of December 29,
2000 and December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholder's equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended
December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of CCHP II Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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 financial position of CCHP II
Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the fiscal years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the

CCHP II CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

CCHP II Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of
Delaware on November 23, 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Crestline
Capital Corporation ("Crestline"). On December 29, 1998, Crestline became a
publicly traded company when Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott")
completed its plan of reorganizing its business operations by spinning-off
Crestline to the shareholders of Host Marriott as part of a series of
transactions pursuant to which Host Marriott converted into a real estate
investment trust ("REIT").

On December 31, 1998, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the "Tenant
Subsidiaries") entered into lease agreements with Host Marriott to lease 28 of
Host Marriott's full-service hotels with the existing management agreements of
the leased hotels assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries. As of December 29,
2000, the Company leased 28 full-service hotels from Host Marriott.

The Company operates as a unit of Crestline, utilizing Crestline's
employees, insurance and administrative services since the Company does not
have any employees. Certain direct expenses are paid by Crestline and charged
directly or allocated to the Company. Certain general and administrative costs
of Crestline are allocated to the Company, using a variety of methods,
principally including Crestline's specific identification of individual costs
and otherwise through allocations based upon estimated levels of effort
devoted by general and administrative departments to the Company or relative
measures of the size of the Company based on revenues. In the opinion of
management, the methods for allocating general and administrative expenses and
other direct costs are reasonable.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances
between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.

Fiscal Year

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest December 31.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less at date of purchase as cash equivalents.

Revenues

The Company records the gross property-level revenues generated by the
hotels as revenues.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

======== ========


Hotel Leases

The Tenant Subsidiaries entered into leases with Host Marriott effective
January 1, 1999 for 28 full-service hotels. See Note 6 for a discussion of the
sale of all of the full-service hotel leases in 2001.

Each hotel lease had an initial term of eight years. The Tenant
Subsidiaries were required to pay the greater of (i) a minimum rent specified
in each hotel lease or (ii) a percentage rent based upon a specified
percentage of aggregate revenues from the hotel, including room revenues, food
and beverage revenues, and other income, in excess of specified thresholds.
The amount of minimum rent is increased each year based upon 50% of the
increase in CPI during the previous twelve months. Percentage rent thresholds
are increased each year based on a blend of the increases in CPI and the
Employment Cost Index during the previous twelve months. The hotel leases
generally provide for a rent adjustment in the event of damage, destruction,
partial taking or certain capital expenditures.

The Tenant Subsidiaries were responsible for paying all of the expenses of
operating the hotels, including all personnel costs, utility costs, and
general repair and maintenance of the hotels. In addition, the Tenant
Subsidiaries were responsible for all fees payable to the hotel manager,
including base and incentive management fees, chain services payments and
franchise or system fees. Host Marriott was responsible for real estate and
personal property taxes, property casualty insurance, equipment rent, ground
lease rent, maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital
expenditures.

For those hotels where Marriott International is the manager, it had a
noneconomic membership interest with certain limited voting rights in the
Tenant Subsidiaries.

FF&E Leases

Prior to entering into the hotel leases, if the average tax basis of a
hotel's FF&E and other personal property exceeded 15% of the aggregate average
tax basis of the hotel's real and personal property (the "Excess FF&E"), the
Tenant Subsidiaries and affiliates of Host Marriott entered into lease
agreements (the "FF&E Leases") for

110


CCHP II CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

the Excess FF&E. The terms of the FF&E Leases generally ranged from two to
three years and rent under the FF&E Leases was a fixed amount.

Guaranty and Pooling Agreement

In connection with entering into the hotel leases, the Company, Crestline
and Host Marriott, entered into a pool guarantee and a pooling and security
agreement by which the Company provided a full guarantee and Crestline
provided a limited guarantee of all of the hotel lease obligations.

The cumulative limit of Crestline's guarantee obligation was the greater of
ten percent of the aggregate rent payable for the immediately preceding fiscal
year under all of the Company's hotel leases or ten percent of the aggregate
rent payable under all of the Company's hotel leases for 1999. In the event
that Crestline's obligation under the pooling and guarantee agreement was
reduced to zero, the Company could terminate the agreement and Host Marriott
could terminate the Company's hotel leases without penalty.

All of the Company's leases were cross-defaulted and the Company's
obligations under the guaranty were secured by all the funds received from its
Tenant Subsidiaries.

Note 3. Working Capital Notes

Upon the commencement of the hotel leases, the Company purchased the
working capital of the leased hotels from Host Marriott for $18,090,000 with
the purchase price evidenced by notes that bear interest at 5.12%. Interest on
each note is due simultaneously with the rent payment of each hotel lease. The
principal amount of each note is due upon the termination of each hotel lease.
See Note 6 for a discussion of the repayment of all of the hotel working
capital notes in 2001. As of December 29, 2000, the outstanding balance of the
working capital notes was $18,090,000, which mature in 2006. Cash paid for
interest expense in 2000 and 1999 totaled $926,000 and $856,000, respectively.

Note 4. Management Agreements

All of the Company's hotels are operated by hotel management companies
under long-term hotel management agreements between Host Marriott and hotel
management companies. The existing management agreements were assigned to the
Tenant Subsidiaries upon the execution of the hotel leases for the term of
each corresponding hotel lease. See Note 6 for a discussion of the transfer of
all of the management agreements to Host Marriott in 2001.

The Tenant Subsidiaries were obligated to perform all of the obligations of
Host Marriott under the hotel management agreements including payment of fees
due under the management agreements other than certain obligations including
payment of property taxes, property casualty insurance and ground rent,
maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital expenditures for
which Host Marriott retained responsibility.

Marriott International manages 23 of the 28 hotels under long-term
management agreements. The Company's remaining five hotels are managed by
other hotel management companies. The management agreements generally provide
for payment of base management fees equal to one to four percent of revenues
and incentive management fees generally equal to 20% to 50% of Operating
Profit (as defined in the management agreements) over a priority return (as
defined) to the Tenant Subsidiaries, with total incentive management fees not
to exceed 20% of cumulative Operating Profit, or 20% of current year Operating
Profit.

Note 5. Income Taxes

The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of
Crestline and its affiliates (the "Group"). Tax expense is allocated to the
Company as a member of the Group based upon the relative

111


CCHP II CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

contribution to the Group's consolidated taxable income/loss and changes in
temporary differences. This allocation method results in Federal, state and
Canadian tax expense allocated for the period presented that is substantially
equal to the expense that would have been recognized if the Company had filed
separate tax returns.

The provision for income taxes for the fiscal years 2000 and 1999 consists
of the following (in thousands):



2000 1999
------ ------

Current........................................................ $5,904 $5,835
Deferred....................................................... 625 996
------ ------
$6,529 $6,831
====== ======


The significant difference between the Company's effective income tax rate
and the Federal statutory tax rate is attributable to the state and Canadian
tax rates.

As of December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company had no deferred
tax assets. The tax effect of the temporary differences that gives rise to the
Company's federal deferred tax liability is generally attributable to the
hotel working capital.

Note 6. Subsequent Event

On December 17, 1999, the Work Incentives Improvement Act was passed which
contained certain tax provisions related to REITs commonly known as the REIT
Modernization Act ("RMA"). Under the RMA, beginning on January 1, 2001, REITs
could lease hotels to a "taxable subsidiary" if the hotel is operated and
managed on behalf of such subsidiary by an independent third party. This law
enabled Host Marriott, beginning January 2001, to lease its hotels to a
taxable subsidiary. Under the terms of the Company's full-service hotel
leases, Host Marriott, at its sole discretion, could purchase the full-service
hotel leases for a price equal to the fair market value of the Company's
leasehold interest in the leases based upon an agreed upon formula in the
leases.

On November 13, 2000, Crestline, the Company and the Tenant Subsidiaries
entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Host Marriott for the purchase
and sale of the Tenant Subsidiaries' leasehold interests in the full-service
hotels. The purchase and sale transaction would generally transfer ownership
of the Tenant Subsidiaries owned by the Company to a subsidiary of Host
Marriott for a total consideration of $66.8 million in cash. On January 10,
2001, upon receipt of all required consents, the purchase and sale transaction
was completed for $66.8 million. The Company will recognize a pre-tax gain on
the transaction of approximately $66.6 million in the first quarter of 2001,
net of transaction costs. The effective date of the transaction was January 1,
2001.

In connection with the sale of the Tenant Subsidiaries, all of the hotel
working capital notes were repaid on January 10, 2001.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

CCHP III Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of
Delaware on November 23, 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Crestline
Capital Corporation ("Crestline"). On December 29, 1998, Crestline became a
publicly traded company when Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott")
completed its plan of reorganizing its business operations by spinning-off
Crestline to the shareholders of Host Marriott as part of a series of
transactions pursuant to which Host Marriott converted into a real estate

On December 31, 1998, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the "Tenant
Subsidiaries") entered into lease agreements with Host Marriott to lease 31 of
Host Marriott's full-service hotels with the existing management agreements of
the leased hotels assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries. As of December 29,
2000, the Company leased 29 full-service hotels from Host Marriott.

The Company operates as a unit of Crestline, utilizing Crestline's
employees, insurance and administrative services since the Company does not
have any employees. Certain direct expenses are paid by Crestline and charged
directly or allocated to the Company. Certain general and administrative costs
of Crestline are allocated to the Company, using a variety of methods,
principally including Crestline's specific identification of individual costs
and otherwise through allocations based upon estimated levels of effort
devoted by general and administrative departments to the Company or relative
measures of the size of the Company based on revenues. In the opinion of
management, the methods for allocating general and administrative expenses and
other direct costs are reasonable.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company

between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.

Fiscal Year

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest December 31.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less at date of purchase as cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

In connection with the lender requirements of one of the leased hotels, the
Company is required to maintain a separate account with the lender on behalf
of the Company for the operating profit and incentive management fees of the
hotel. Following an annual audit, amounts will be distributed to the hotel's
manager and to the Company in accordance with the loan agreement.

Revenues

The Company records the gross property-level revenues generated by the
hotels as revenues.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make

Hotel Leases

The Tenant Subsidiaries entered into leases with Host Marriott effective
January 1, 1999 for 31 full-service hotels. See Note 6 for a discussion of the
sale of all of the full-service hotel leases in 2001.

Each hotel lease had an initial term of nine years. The Tenant Subsidiaries
were required to pay the greater of (i) a minimum rent specified in each hotel
lease or (ii) a percentage rent based upon a specified percentage of aggregate
revenues from the hotel, including room revenues, food and beverage revenues,
and other income, in excess of specified thresholds. The amount of minimum
rent is increased each year based upon 50% of the increase in CPI during the
previous twelve months. Percentage rent thresholds are increased each year
based on a blend of the increases in CPI and the Employment Cost Index during
the previous twelve months. The hotel leases generally provide for a rent
adjustment in the event of damage, destruction, partial taking or certain
capital expenditures.

The Tenant Subsidiaries were responsible for paying all of the expenses of
operating the hotels, including all personnel costs, utility costs, and
general repair and maintenance of the hotels. In addition, the Tenant
Subsidiaries were responsible for all fees payable to the hotel manager,
including base and incentive management fees, chain services payments and
franchise or system fees. Host Marriott was responsible for real estate and
personal property taxes, property casualty insurance, equipment rent, ground
lease rent, maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital
expenditures.

For those hotels where Marriott International is the manager, it had a
noneconomic membership interest with certain limited voting rights in the
Tenant Subsidiaries.

CCHP III CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

FF&E Leases

Prior to entering into the hotel leases, if the average tax basis of a
hotel's FF&E and other personal property exceeded 15% of the aggregate average
tax basis of the hotel's real and personal property (the "Excess FF&E"), the
Tenant Subsidiaries and affiliates of Host Marriott entered into lease
agreements (the "FF&E Leases") for the Excess FF&E. The terms of the FF&E
Leases generally ranged from two to three years and rent under the FF&E Leases
was a fixed amount.

Guaranty and Pooling Agreement

In connection with entering into the hotel leases, the Company, Crestline
and Host Marriott, entered into a pool guarantee and a pooling and security
agreement by which the Company provided a full guarantee and Crestline
provided a limited guarantee of all of the hotel lease obligations.

The cumulative limit of Crestline's guarantee obligation was the greater of
ten percent of the aggregate rent payable for the immediately preceding fiscal
year under all of the Company's hotel leases or ten percent of the aggregate
rent payable under all of the Company's hotel leases for 1999. In the event
that Crestline's obligation under the pooling and guarantee agreement was
reduced to zero, the Company could terminate the agreement and Host Marriott
could terminate the Company's hotel leases without penalty.

All of the Company's leases were cross-defaulted and the Company's
obligations under the guaranty were secured by all the funds received from its
Tenant Subsidiaries.

Note 3. Working Capital Notes

Upon the commencement of the hotel leases, the Company purchased the
working capital of the leased hotels from Host Marriott for $22,046,000 with
the purchase price evidenced by notes that bear interest at 5.12%. Interest on
each note is due simultaneously with the rent payment of each hotel lease. The
principal amount of each note is due upon the termination of each hotel lease.
See Note 6 for a discussion of the repayment of all of the hotel working
capital notes in 2001. As of December 29, 2000, the outstanding balance of the
working capital notes was $21,697,000, which mature in 2007. Cash paid for
interest expense in fiscal years 2000 and 1999 totaled $1,112,000 and
$1,042,000, respectively.

Note 4. Management Agreements

All of the Company's hotels are operated by hotel management companies
under long-term hotel management agreements between Host Marriott and hotel
management companies. The existing management agreements were assigned to the
Tenant Subsidiaries upon the execution of the hotel leases for the term of
each corresponding hotel lease. See Note 6 for a discussion of the transfer of
all of the management agreements to Host Marriott in 2001.

The Tenant Subsidiaries were obligated to perform all of the obligations of
Host Marriott under the hotel management agreements including payment of fees
due under the management agreements other than certain obligations including
payment of property taxes, property casualty insurance and ground rent,
maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital expenditures for
which Host Marriott retained responsibility.

Marriott International manages 21 of the 29 hotels under long-term
management agreements. The Company's remaining eight hotels are managed by
other hotel management companies. The management agreements generally provide
for payment of base management fees equal to one to four percent of revenues
and incentive management fees generally equal to 20% to 50% of Operating
Profit (as defined in the management

121


CCHP III CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

agreements) over a priority return (as defined) to the Tenant Subsidiaries,
with total incentive management fees not to exceed 20% of cumulative Operating
Profit, or 20% of current year Operating Profit.

Note 5. Income Taxes

The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of
Crestline and its affiliates (the "Group"). Tax expense is allocated to the
Company as a member of the Group based upon the relative contribution to the
Group's consolidated taxable income/loss and changes in temporary differences.
This allocation method results in Federal and net state tax expense allocated
for the period presented that is substantially equal to the expense that would
have been recognized if the Company had filed separate tax returns.

The provision for income taxes for the fiscal years 2000 and 1999 consists
of the following (in thousands):



2000 1999
------ ------

Current........................................................ $5,382 $3,270
Deferred....................................................... 90 342
------ ------
$5,472 $3,612
====== ======


As of December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company had no deferred
tax assets. The tax effect of the temporary differences that gives rise to the
Company's deferred tax liability is generally attributable to the hotel
working capital.

Note 6. Subsequent Event

On December 17, 1999, the Work Incentives Improvement Act was passed which
contained certain tax provisions related to REITs commonly known as the REIT
Modernization Act ("RMA"). Under the RMA, beginning on January 1, 2001, REITs
could lease hotels to a "taxable subsidiary" if the hotel is operated and
managed on behalf of such subsidiary by an independent third party. This law
enabled Host Marriott, beginning January 2001, to lease its hotels to a
taxable subsidiary. Under the terms of the Company's full-service hotel
leases, Host Marriott, at its sole discretion, could purchase the full-service
hotel leases for a price equal to the fair market value of the Company's
leasehold interest in the leases based upon an agreed upon formula in the
leases.

On November 13, 2000, Crestline, the Company and the Tenant Subsidiaries
entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Host Marriott for the purchase
and sale of the Tenant Subsidiaries' leasehold interests in the full-service
hotels. The purchase and sale transaction would generally transfer ownership
of the Tenant Subsidiaries owned by the Company to a subsidiary of Host
Marriott for a total consideration of $55.1 million in cash. On January 10,
2001, upon receipt of all required consents, the purchase and sale transaction
was completed for $55.1 million. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on the
transaction of approximately $55 million in the first quarter of 2001, net of
transaction costs. The effective date of the transaction was January 1, 2001.

In connection with the sale of the Tenant Subsidiaries, all of the hotel
working capital notes were repaid on January 10, 2001.

2000 and December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholder's equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended
December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of CCHP IV Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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 financial position of CCHP IV
Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the fiscal years

CCHP IV CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

CCHP IV Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of
Delaware on November 23, 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Crestline
Capital Corporation ("Crestline"). On December 29, 1998, Crestline became a
publicly traded company when Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott")
completed its plan of reorganizing its business operations by spinning-off
Crestline to the shareholders of Host Marriott as part of a series of
transactions pursuant to which Host Marriott converted into a real estate
investment trust ("REIT").

On December 31, 1998, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the "Tenant
Subsidiaries") entered into lease agreements with Host Marriott to lease 27 of
Host Marriott's full-service hotels with the existing management agreements of
the leased hotels assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries. As of December 29,
2000, the Company leased 27 full-service hotels from Host Marriott.

The Company operates as a unit of Crestline, utilizing Crestline's
employees, insurance and administrative services since the Company does not
have any employees. Certain direct expenses are paid by Crestline and charged
directly or allocated to the Company. Certain general and administrative costs
of Crestline are allocated to the Company, using a variety of methods,
principally including Crestline's specific identification of individual costs
and otherwise through allocations based upon estimated levels of effort
devoted by general and administrative departments to the Company or relative
measures of the size of the Company based on revenues. In the opinion of
management, the methods for allocating general and administrative expenses and
other direct costs are reasonable.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances
between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.

Fiscal Year

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest December 31.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less at date of purchase as cash equivalents.

Revenues

The Company records the gross property-level revenues generated by the
hotels as revenues.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

Hotel Leases

The Tenant Subsidiaries entered into leases with Host Marriott effective
January 1, 1999 for 27 full-service hotels. See Note 6 for a discussion of the
sale of all of the full-service hotel leases in 2001.

Each hotel lease had an initial term of ten years. The Tenant Subsidiaries
were required to pay the greater of (i) a minimum rent specified in each hotel
lease or (ii) a percentage rent based upon a specified percentage of aggregate
revenues from the hotel, including room revenues, food and beverage revenues,
and other income, in excess of specified thresholds. The amount of minimum
rent is increased each year based upon 50% of the increase in CPI during the
previous twelve months. Percentage rent thresholds are increased each year
based on a blend of the increases in CPI and the Employment Cost Index during
the previous twelve months. The hotel leases generally provide for a rent
adjustment in the event of damage, destruction, partial taking or certain
capital expenditures.

The Tenant Subsidiaries were responsible for paying all of the expenses of
operating the hotels, including all personnel costs, utility costs, and
general repair and maintenance of the hotels. In addition, the Tenant
Subsidiaries were responsible for all fees payable to the hotel manager,
including base and incentive management fees, chain services payments and
franchise or system fees. Host Marriott was responsible for real estate and
personal property taxes, property casualty insurance, equipment rent, ground
lease rent, maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital
expenditures.

For those hotels where Marriott International is the manager, it had a
noneconomic membership interest with certain limited voting rights in the
Tenant Subsidiaries.

FF&E Leases

Prior to entering into the hotel leases, if the average tax basis of a
hotel's FF&E and other personal property exceeded 15% of the aggregate average
tax basis of the hotel's real and personal property (the "Excess FF&E"), the
Tenant Subsidiaries and affiliates of Host Marriott entered into lease
agreements (the "FF&E Leases") for

130


CCHP IV CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

the Excess FF&E. The terms of the FF&E Leases generally ranged from two to
three years and rent under the FF&E Leases was a fixed amount.

Guaranty and Pooling Agreement

In connection with entering into the hotel leases, the Company, Crestline
and Host Marriott, entered into a pool guarantee and a pooling and security
agreement by which the Company provided a full guarantee and Crestline
provided a limited guarantee of all of the hotel lease obligations.

The cumulative limit of Crestline's guarantee obligation was the greater of
ten percent of the aggregate rent payable for the immediately preceding fiscal
year under all of the Company's hotel leases or ten percent of the aggregate
rent payable under all of the Company's hotel leases for 1999. In the event
that Crestline's obligation under the pooling and guarantee agreement was
reduced to zero, the Company could terminate the agreement and Host Marriott
could terminate the Company's hotel leases without penalty.

All of the Company's leases were cross-defaulted and the Company's
obligations under the guaranty were secured by all the funds received from its
Tenant Subsidiaries.

Note 3. Working Capital Notes

Upon the commencement of the hotel leases, the Company purchased the
working capital of the leased hotels from Host Marriott for $16,522,000 with
the purchase price evidenced by notes that bear interest at 5.12%. Interest on
each note is due simultaneously with the rent payment of each hotel lease. The
principal amount of each note is due upon the termination of each hotel lease.
See Note 6 for a discussion of the repayment of all of the hotel working
capital notes in 2001. As of December 29, 2000, the outstanding balance of the
working capital notes was $16,522,000, which mature in 2008. Cash paid for
interest expense in 2000 and 1999 totaled $846,000 and $781,000, respectively.

Note 4. Management Agreements

All of the Company's hotels are operated by hotel management companies
under long-term hotel management agreements between Host Marriott and hotel
management companies. The existing management agreements were assigned to the
Tenant Subsidiaries upon the execution of the hotel leases for the term of
each corresponding hotel lease. See Note 6 for a discussion of the transfer of
all of the management agreements to Host Marriott in 2001.

The Tenant Subsidiaries were obligated to perform all of the obligations of
Host Marriott under the hotel management agreements including payment of fees
due under the management agreements other than certain obligations including
payment of property taxes, property casualty insurance and ground rent,
maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital expenditures for
which Host Marriott retained responsibility.

Marriott International manages 23 of the 27 hotels under long-term
management agreements. The Company's remaining four hotels are managed by
other hotel management companies. The management agreements generally provide
for payment of base management fees equal to one to four percent of revenues
and incentive management fees generally equal to 20% to 50% of Operating
Profit (as defined in the management agreements) over a priority return (as
defined) to the Tenant Subsidiaries, with total incentive management fees not
to exceed 20% of cumulative Operating Profit, or 20% of current year Operating
Profit.

CCHP IV CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

Note 5. Income Taxes

The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of
Crestline and its affiliates (the "Group"). Tax expense is allocated to the
Company as a member of the Group based upon the relative contribution to the
Group's consolidated taxable income/loss and changes in temporary differences.
This allocation method results in Federal and net state tax expense allocated
for the period presented that is substantially equal to the expense that would
have been recognized if the Company had filed separate tax returns.

The provision for income taxes for fiscal years 2000 and 1999 consists of
the following (in thousands):



2000 1999
------ ------

Current........................................................ $2,452 $2,725
Deferred....................................................... 299 741
------ ------
$2,751 $3,466
====== ======


As of December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company had no deferred
tax assets. The tax effect of the temporary differences that gives rise to the
Company's deferred tax liability is generally attributable to the hotel
working capital.

Note 6. Subsequent Event

On December 17, 1999, the Work Incentives Improvement Act was passed which
contained certain tax provisions related to REITs commonly known as the REIT
Modernization Act ("RMA"). Under the RMA, beginning on January 1, 2001, REITs
could lease hotels to a "taxable subsidiary" if the hotel is operated and
managed on behalf of such subsidiary by an independent third party. This law
enabled Host Marriott, beginning January 2001, to lease its hotels to a
taxable subsidiary. Under the terms of the Company's full-service hotel
leases, Host Marriott, at its sole discretion, could purchase the full-service
hotel leases for a price equal to the fair market value of the Company's
leasehold interest in the leases based upon an agreed upon formula in the
leases.

On November 13, 2000, Crestline, the Company and the Tenant Subsidiaries
entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Host Marriott for the purchase
and sale of the Tenant Subsidiaries' leasehold interests in the full-service
hotels. The purchase and sale transaction would generally transfer ownership
of the Lessee Entities owned by the Company to a subsidiary of Host Marriott
for a total consideration of $46.1 million in cash. On January 10, 2001, upon
receipt of all required consents, the purchase and sale transaction was
completed for $46.1 million. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on the
transaction of approximately $46 million in the first quarter of 2001, net of
the transaction costs. The effective date of the transaction was January 1,
2001.

In connection with the sale of the Tenant Subsidiaries, all of the hotel
working capital notes were repaid on January 10, 2001.
