NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent (i) Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Corporation”), including Sheraton Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries and Starwood Hotels & Resorts and its subsidiaries (the “Trust” and together with the Corporation, “Starwood” or the “Company”), and (ii) the Trust.

Starwood is one of the world’s largest hotel and leisure companies. Starwood’s status as one of the leading hotel and leisure companies resulted from the 1998 acquisitions of Westin Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“Westin”) (the “Westin Merger”) and ITT Corporation (the “ITT Merger”), renamed Sheraton Holding Corporation (“Sheraton Holding”).

The Company’s principal business is hotels and leisure, which is comprised of a worldwide hospitality network of more than 700 full-service hotels as well as vacation ownership resorts primarily serving two markets: luxury and upscale.

On October 1, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Starwood Vacation Ownership, Inc. (formerly Vistana, Inc.) (“SVO”), whereby SVO merged with and into a subsidiary of the Corporation and thereby became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. SVO’s principal operations include the acquisition, development and operation of vacation ownership resorts; marketing and selling vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) in the resorts; and providing financing to customers who purchase such interests. Starwood considers SVO’s vacation ownership operations to be a separate segment from its hotel business.

The Trust was formed in 1969 and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). In 1980, the Trust formed the Corporation and made a distribution to the Trust’s shareholders of one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporation (a “Corporation Share”) for each common share of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, of the Trust (a “Trust Share”). Until January 6, 1999, the Corporation Shares and Trust Shares were paired on a one-for-one basis and, pursuant to an agreement between the Corporation and the Trust, could be held or transferred only in units (“Paired Shares”) consisting of one Corporation Share and one Trust Share. The Trust is one of the largest REITs in the United States.

During 1998, Congress enacted tax legislation that had the effect of eliminating the grandfathering for certain interests in real property acquired after March 26, 1998 by a formation of a “paired share REIT.” In response to this legislation, a reorganization of the Corporation and the Trust (the “Reorganization”) was proposed by the Company and was approved by the Corporation and Trust shareholders on January 6, 1999. As a result of the Reorganization, the Trust became a subsidiary of the Corporation, which indirectly holds all outstanding shares of the new Class A shares of beneficial interest in the Trust (“Class A Shares”). Each outstanding Trust Share was converted into one share of the new non-voting Class B shares of beneficial interest in the Trust (a “Class B Share”). The Corporation Shares and the Class B Shares trade together on a one-for-one basis, and pursuant to an agreement between the Corporation and the Trust, may be transferred only in units (“Shares”) consisting of one Corporation Share and one Class B Share. The Reorganization was accounted for as a reorganization of two companies under common control. As such, there was no revaluation of the assets and liabilities of the combining companies. Unless otherwise stated herein, all information with respect to Shares refers to Shares on or since January 6, 1999 and to Paired Shares for periods before January 6, 1999.

The Corporation, through its subsidiaries, is the general partner of, and held, as of June 30, 2003, an aggregate 98.1% partnership interest in, SLC Operating Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The Trust, through its subsidiaries, is the general partner of, and held an aggregate 97.3% partnership interest in, SLT Realty Limited Partnership (the “Realty Partnership” and, together with the Operating Partnership,

the “Partnerships”) as of June 30, 2003. The units of the Partnerships (“LP Units”) held by the limited partners of the respective Partnerships are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Shares. At June 30, 2003, there were approximately 5.7 million LP Units outstanding (including 4.3 million LP Units held by the Corporation). For all periods presented, the LP Units are assumed to have been converted to Shares for purposes of calculating basic and diluted weighted average Shares outstanding.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Earnings Per Share. The following reconciliation of basic earnings (losses) per Share to diluted earnings (losses) from continuing operations assumes the conversion of LP Units to Shares (in millions, except per Share data):

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for its stock-based employee long-term incentive plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income (loss) as all options granted to employees under these plans have an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per Share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 150 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (VIE’s) in an effort to expand and clarify existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity. FIN No. 46 is effective immediately for all enterprises with variable interests in VIE’s created after January 31, 2003. FIN No. 46 provisions must be applied to variable interests in VIE’s created before February 1, 2003 beginning in the third quarter of 2003. If an entity is determined to be a VIE, it must be consolidated by the enterprise that absorbs the majority of the VIE’s expected losses if they occur, receives a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns if they occur, or both. Where it is reasonably possible that the company will consolidate or disclose information about a VIE, the company must disclose the nature, purpose, size and

AND STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

activity of the VIE and the company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the VIE in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003.

The Company is reviewing its different forms of investments and at this time, does not believe that the adoption of FIN No. 46 will result in the consolidation of a significant number of previously unconsolidated entities. The adoption of FIN No. 46 may result in additional disclosure about a limited number of investments in VIE’s. The Company does not expect such disclosure to be material.

FIN No. 46 does not apply to qualifying special purpose entities, such as those typically used by the Company to sell notes receivable originated by the vacation ownership business in connection with the sale of VOIs. These qualifying special purpose entities will continue to be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125”.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”. This statement addresses transition methodologies for companies who intend to adopt the fair valuation methodology of SFAS No. 123 for their employee stock-based compensation, as well as additional annual and quarterly disclosure requirements for stock-based compensation. Starwood has incorporated the new disclosure requirements into this note above.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN No. 45 “Guarantor Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”. This interpretation modifies the accounting treatment for certain guarantees and is effective for all guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The new disclosure rules are effective for interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company has incorporated the disclosure requirements into this filing and is monitoring its new guarantees for compliance. FIN No. 45 did not have a material impact on the Company.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or cash flows; however it may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs.

Note 3. Assets Held for Sale

The Company considers properties to be assets held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market a property for sale or a signed sales contract exists. Upon designation as an asset held for sale, the Company records the carrying value of each property at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and the Company stops recording depreciation expense. Any gain realized in connection with the sale of properties for which the Company has significant continuing involvement (such as through a management or franchise agreement) is deferred and recognized over the life of the associated involvement (e.g.,the life of the related agreement).

In June 2003, the Company sold the Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan, Italy (“Principe”) for 275 million Euro (approximately $315 million based on exchange rates at the time the sale closed) in gross cash proceeds. The Company will have no continuing involvement with the Principe, therefore the Principe results and related gain on sale are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 4. Discontinued Operations for further discussion.

In June 2003, the Company also sold a portfolio of assets including four hotels, a marina and shipyard, a golf club and a 51% interest in its undeveloped land in Costa Smeralda in Sardinia, Italy (“Sardinia Assets”) for 290 million Euro (approximately $340 million based on exchange rates as of the time the sale closed) in gross cash proceeds. The Company will continue to manage the four hotels and other facilities subject to long-

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

term management contracts. Accordingly, the results related to the Sardinia Assets prior to the sale date are not classified as discontinued operations and the gain on sale of $82 million is deferred and will be recognized over the life of the management contracts.

At the end of the first quarter of 2003, the Company approved a plan to sell a portfolio of 18 non-core domestic hotels including several non-proprietary branded hotels. As a result, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company classified these hotels as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $170 million (pre-tax) to reflect the fair value less selling costs of this portfolio in the first quarter of 2003. In the latter part of the second quarter, and early July, the Company sold 13 of these non-core domestic hotels, the majority of which were sold subject to franchise agreements. On July 29, 2003, the Company signed binding agreements to sell two additional properties and continues to work towards the sale of the three additional non-core domestic hotels. The Company expects to close these sales later in 2003. An additional impairment charge of $4 million was recorded in the second quarter related to these hotels to reflect the actual and expected proceeds from these sales.

Note 4. Discontinued Operations

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, as a result of the sale of the Principe (see Note 3. Assets Held for Sale) with no continuing involvement in June 2003, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations of the Principe as a discontinued operation. Interest expense of $3 million and $7 million, respectively, for both three and six month periods presented was allocated to discontinued operations based upon the amount of Euro denominated debt that was required to be repaid upon the consummation of the sale. The amount of Euro denominated debt allocated to discontinued operations was approximately $284 million at December 31, 2002. Summary financial information for discontinued operations is as follows (in millions) (unaudited):

(pre-tax) of liabilities relating to the Company’s former gaming business disposed of in 1999. The Company believes that these liabilities are no longer required.

During the second quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a gain of $104 million from discontinued operations primarily related to Internal Revenue Service regulations issued in 2002, which allowed the Company to recognize a tax benefit from a loss on the 1999 sale of its former gaming business. The tax loss was previously disallowed under the old regulations. The remaining gain resulted from an adjustment to the Company’s tax basis in its World Directories subsidiary, which was disposed of in early 1998. The increase in the tax basis has the effect of reducing the deferred tax liability relating to the gain on this disposition.

Note 5. Restructuring and Other Special Credits

The Company had remaining accruals related to restructuring charges of $25 million at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, of which $21 million is included in other liabilities in the accompanying June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 consolidated balance sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded a reversal of $3 million of other special charges related to sales of its investments in certain e-business ventures previously deemed impaired and the collections of receivables which were previously deemed uncollectible. The following table summarizes restructuring and other special credits activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 (there was no restructuring or other special charges activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003):

Note 6. Notes Receivable Securitizations and Sales

At June 30, 2003, the Company has approximately $124 million in net timeshare notes receivable. From time to time, the Company securitizes or sells these timeshare notes receivable. The Company accounts for its notes receivable securitizations and sales as transactions in accordance with SFAS No. 140. The Company accounted for both of the transactions described below as SFAS No. 140 sales. The Company retains interests in the assets transferred to qualified and non-qualified special purpose entities which are accounted for as over-collateralizations and interest only strips (“Beneficial or Retained Interests”). These Beneficial or Retained Interests are treated as “trading” for transactions prior to 2002 and “available-for-sale” for transactions thereafter under the provisions of SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.”

STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS WORLDWIDE, INC.

AND STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company sold an additional $30 million of notes reveivable into its existing special purpose entity (see discussion below), resulting in a gain of $4 million, which is included in other hotel and leisure revenues in the consolidated statements of income. An additional $1 million of gain was recognized due to the substitution of defaulted notes in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 pursuant to the substitution rights described below.

In June 2002, the Company sold, without recourse, through a special purpose entity (the “SPE”), notes receivable originated by the Company’s vacation ownership operations in connection with the sale of VOIs. If certain conditions are not met, the Company may be obligated to repurchase a transferred note if representations or warranties made by the Company with regard to the transferred note are found not to have been accurate at the date of transfer. The Company may elect to substitute that non-qualifying note with another qualifying note, if available. The Company continues to service the sold notes. The Company’s right to receive cash flows from the Retained Interests is limited to cash available after paying the SPE’s financing expenses, program fees and absorbing credit losses related to the sold notes. Net cash proceeds received from this sale of notes receivable through June 30, 2002 were approximately $75 million. Gains from the sale of these notes totaled $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and are included in other hotel and leisure revenues in the consolidated statements of income. An additional $1 million of gains was recognized due to the substitution of defaulted notes in the six month period ending June 30, 2002 pursuant to the substitution rights described below.

At June 30, 2003, $120 million of principal balances are outstanding under the sale of receivables in 2001 and an additional $134 million of principal balances are outstanding under the sales of receivables in 2002. Delinquencies of more than 90 days on these receivables at June 30, 2003 amounted to approximately $3 million and $2 million for the sales of receivables in 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Under receivable sales completed in 2001 and 2002, the Company has an option to repurchase defaulted notes (as defined) included in the transactions for their outstanding principal amounts. The Company has been able to resell vacation ownership interests underlying the loans that it repurchased under these provisions without incurring significant losses.

At the time of the receivable sales in 2001 and 2002 and at the end of each financial reporting period, the Company estimates the fair value of its Beneficial and Retained Interests using a discounted cash flow model. All assumptions used in the models are reviewed and updated, if necessary, based on current trends and historical experience.

The Company has completed a sensitivity analysis on the net present value of the Beneficial and Retained Interests to measure the change in value associated with independent changes in individual key variables. The methodology used applied unfavorable changes that would be considered statistically significant for the key variables of prepayment rate, discount rate and expected gross credit losses. The net present value of Beneficial and Retained Interests at June 30, 2003 was approximately $22 million and approximately

STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS WORLDWIDE, INC.

AND STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

$35 million, respectively. The decrease in value of the Beneficial and Retained Interests as a result of various changes in key variables are as follows (in millions):

Note 7. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest expense. The Company’s objective is to manage the impact of interest rates on the results of operations, cash flows and the market value of the Company’s debt. At June 30, 2003, the Company had one outstanding interest rate swap agreement under which the Company pays a fixed rate and receives a variable rate of interest (the “Interest Rate Swap Agreement”). The notional amount of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement was approximately $48 million and the estimated fair value of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement was a liability of approximately $100,000 as of June 30, 2003. This agreement is scheduled to mature in December 2003 and, upon maturity, any unrealized gains or losses will be recognized in the Company’s earnings.

At June 30, 2003, the Company also had five outstanding interest rate swap agreements under which the Company pays floating rates and receives fixed rates of interest (the “Fair Value Swaps”). The aggregate notional amount of the Fair Value Swaps was $1.050 billion. The Fair Value Swaps hedge the change in fair value of certain fixed rate debt related to fluctuations in interest rates and mature through 2007. The Fair Value Swaps modify the Company’s interest rate exposure by effectively converting debt with a fixed rate to a floating rate. The fair value of the Fair Value Swaps was an asset of approximately $34 million at June 30, 2003.

From time to time, the Company uses various hedging instruments to hedge the foreign currency exposure associated with the Company’s foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. At June 30, 2003, the Company did not have any forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding.

Periodically, the Company hedges the net assets of certain international subsidiaries (“Net Investment Hedges”) using various hedging instruments to manage the translation and economic exposures related to the Company’s investments in these subsidiaries. The Company measures the effectiveness of derivatives designated as Net Investment Hedges by using the changes in forward exchange rates because this method best reflects the Company’s risk management strategies and the economics of those strategies in the financial

STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS WORLDWIDE, INC.

AND STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

statements. Under this method, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument attributable to the changes in forward exchange rates is reported in stockholders’ equity to offset the translation results on the hedged net investment. The remaining change in fair value of the hedging instrument, if any, is recognized through income. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company entered into two Net Investment Hedges on a portion of our Euro-denominated subsidiaries (“Euro Net Investment Hedges”). The Euro Net Investment Hedges minimize currency risk arising from Euro-based net assets. The Euro Net Investment Hedges have a total notional amount of 200 million Euro and mature in June 2004.

The Company does not expect its remaining derivative financial instruments to significantly impact earnings for the next twelve months.

Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity

Exchangeable Preferred Shares. During 1998, 5.5 million shares of Class B EPS and approximately 800,000 exchangeable units were issued by the Trust in connection with the Westin Merger. Exchangeable units and Class B EPS have a liquidation preference of $38.50 per share and provide the holders with the right, from and after the fifth anniversary of the Westin Merger which began on January 2, 2003, to require the Trust to redeem such shares at a price of $38.50 for a one-year period. Shares of exchangeable units and Class B EPS are convertible on a one-for-one basis (subject to certain adjustments) to Class A EPS. Through June 30, 2003, in accordance with the terms of the Class B EPS discussed above, 425,489 units of Class B EPS were put back to the Company for approximately $16 million.

Note 9. Business Segment Information

The Company has two operating segments: hotels and vacation ownership. The hotel segment represents a worldwide network of owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels and resorts operated primarily under the Company’s proprietary brand names including St. Regis®, The Luxury Collection®, Sheraton®, Westin®, W® and Four Points® by Sheraton as well as hotels and resorts which are managed or franchised under these brand names in exchange for fees. Also included are earnings and losses from the Company’s interest in unconsolidated joint ventures. The vacation ownership segment includes the development, ownership and operation of vacation ownership resorts, marketing and selling VOIs and providing financing to customers who purchase such interests.

The performance of the hotels and vacation ownership segments is evaluated primarily on operating profit before corporate selling, general and administrative expense, interest, gains on the sale of real estate, investments, restructuring and other special charges and income taxes. The Company does not allocate these items to its segments.

Note 10.	Commitments and Contingencies

Guaranteed Loans and Commitments. In limited cases, the Company has made loans to owners of or partners in hotel or resort ventures for which the Company has a management or franchise agreement. Loans

STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS WORLDWIDE, INC.

AND STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

outstanding under this program totaled $148 million at June 30, 2003. Unfunded loan commitments aggregating $26 million were outstanding at June 30, 2003, of which minimal amounts are expected to be funded in 2003 and $8 million is expected to be funded in total. These loans typically are secured by pledges of project ownership interests and/or mortgages on the projects.

The Company participates in programs with unaffiliated lenders in which the Company may partially guarantee loans made to facilitate third-party ownership of hotels that the Company manages or franchises. At June 30, 2003, the Company was a guarantor for loans that could reach a maximum of $169 million relating primarily to three projects: the St. Regis in Monarch Beach, California, which opened in mid-2001; the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona, which opened in November 2002; and the Westin in Charlotte, North Carolina, which opened in April 2003. In connection with the loan guarantee for the Westin Charlotte, the Company also entered into a guarantee to fund working capital shortfalls for this resort through 2005. No significant fundings are anticipated under this working capital guarantee. With respect to the Westin Kierland, the guarantee is joint and several with another equity partner. The Company does not anticipate any significant funding under these loan guarantees in 2003, as all projects are well capitalized. Furthermore, since each of these properties was funded with significant equity financing and subordinated debt financing, if the Company’s loan guarantees were to be called, the Company could take an equity position in these properties at values significantly below construction costs.

Surety bonds issued on behalf of the Company as of June 30, 2003 totaled $66 million, the majority of which were required by state or local governments relating to our vacation ownership operations and by our insurers to secure large deductible insurance programs.

In order to secure management contracts, the Company may provide performance guarantees to third-party owners. Most of these performance guarantees allow the Company to terminate the contract rather than fund shortfalls if certain performance levels are not met. In limited cases, the Company is obliged to fund shortfalls in performance levels. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had seven management contracts with performance guarantees with possible cash outlays of up to $74 million, $50 million of which, if required, would be funded over a period of 25 years and would be largely offset by management fees received under these contracts. Many of the performance tests are multi-year tests, are tied to the results of a competitive set of hotels, and have exclusions for force majeure and acts of war and terrorism. The Company does not anticipate any significant funding under the performance guarantees in 2003. In addition, the Company has agreed to guarantee certain performance levels at a managed hotel that has authorized VOI sales and marketing. The exact amount and nature of the guaranty is currently under dispute. However, the Company does not believe that any payments under this guaranty will be significant. Lastly, the Company does not anticipate losing any significant management or franchise contracts in 2003.

Litigation. From time to time in the course of general business activities, the Company becomes involved in legal disputes and proceedings. The Company does not expect the resolution of these matters to have a material adverse affect on the financial position or on the results of operations and cash flows of the Company, except as disclosed in the Company’s Joint Annual Report on Form 10-K as amended by the Joint Annual Report on Form 10-K/ A for the year ended December 31, 2002 incorporated herein by reference. However, depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect the Company’s future results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.

STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS WORLDWIDE, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Senior Credit Facility and for other operational purposes. Holders may first present their notes to the Company for repurchase in May 2006.

During the second quarter of 2003, the Company successfully amended its Senior Credit Facility. The amendment adjusted the leverage coverage ratio for the second quarter of 2003 and for the next eight quarters (through June 30, 2005). In addition, the Company modified its current covenant on encumbered EBITDA (as defined) and added a restriction on the level of cash dividends. The Company currently expects to be in compliance with the amended covenants for the remainder of the Senior Credit Facility term.

Note 12. Guarantor Subsidiary

The Company’s payment obligations under the senior credit facility, the senior notes and both the convertible notes and convertible debt are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Sheraton Holding, a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Guarantor Subsidiary”). The obligation of the Guarantor Subsidiary under its guarantee of the senior credit facility, senior notes and the convertible notes and convertible debt is equal in right of payment to its obligations under the Sheraton Holding public debt.

Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the Company (the “Parent”), the Guarantor Subsidiary and all other legal entities that are consolidated into the Company, including the Trust, but which are not the Guarantor Subsidiary (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the Parent and the Guarantor Subsidiary on the equity method of accounting. Earnings of subsidiaries are, therefore, reflected in the Parent’s and Guarantor Subsidiary’s investments in subsidiaries’ accounts. The elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those relating to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventories, investments, plant, property and equipment (including assets held for sale), goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, financing operations, frequent guest program liability, self-insurance claims payable, restructuring costs, retirement benefits and contingencies and litigation.

Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

The Company believes the following to be its critical accounting policies:

Revenue Recognition. The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the following sources: (1) hotel and resort revenues at the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture properties; (2) management and franchise fees; (3) vacation ownership revenues; and (4) other revenues which are

ancillary to the Company’s operations. Generally, revenues are recognized when the services have been rendered. The following is a description of the composition of revenues for the Company:

• Owned, Leased and Consolidated Joint Ventures — Represents revenue primarily derived from hotel operations, including the rental of rooms and food and beverage sales, from a worldwide network of owned, leased or consolidated joint venture hotels and resorts operated primarily under the Company’s proprietary brand names including St. Regis, The Luxury Collection, Sheraton, Westin, W and Four Points by Sheraton. Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied and services have been rendered.

• Management and Franchise Fees — Represents fees earned on hotels managed worldwide, usually under long-term contracts with the hotel owner, and franchise fees received in connection with the franchise of the Company’s Sheraton, Westin, Four Points by Sheraton and Luxury Collection brand names. Management fees are comprised of a base fee, which is generally based on a percentage of gross revenues, and an incentive fee, which is generally based on the property’s profitability. Base fee revenues are recognized when earned in accordance with the terms of the contract. For any time during the year, incentive fees are recognized for the fees due and earned as if the contract was terminated at that date, exclusive of any termination fees due or payable. Franchise fees are generally based on a percentage of hotel room revenues and are recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 45, “Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue,” as the fees are earned and become due from the franchisee. Management and franchise fees are recognized in other hotel and leisure revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

• Vacation Ownership — The Company recognizes revenue from VOI sales in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” The Company recognizes sales when a minimum of 10% of the purchase price for the VOI has been received in cash, the period of cancellation with refund has expired and receivables are deemed collectible. For sales that do not qualify for full revenue recognition as the project has progressed beyond the preliminary stages but has not yet reached completion, all revenue and profit are initially deferred and recognized in earnings through the percentage-of-completion method. Vacation ownership revenues are recognized in other hotel and leisure revenues in the consolidated statements of income. From time to time, the Company may also securitize or sell its VOI receivables. These securitizations are accounted for as sales transactions under the guidance of SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities — replacement of FASB Statement No. 125”.

Assets Held for Sale. The Company considers properties to be assets held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market a property for sale or a signed sales contract exists. Upon designation as an asset held for sale, the Company records the carrying value of each property at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and the Company stops recording depreciation expense. Any gain realized in connection with the sale of properties for which the Company has significant continuing involvement (such as through a management or franchise agreement) is deferred and recognized over the life of the associated involvement (e.g., the life of the related agreement).

Frequent Guest Program. SPG is the Company’s frequent guest incentive marketing program. SPG members earn points based on their spending at the Company’s properties and, to a lesser degree, through participation in affiliated partners’ programs, such as those offered by airlines. Points can be redeemed at most Company owned, leased, managed and franchised properties.

SPG is provided as a marketing program to the Company’s properties, including as incentives to first time buyers of VOIs. The cost of operating the program, including the estimated cost of award redemption, is charged to properties based on members’ qualifying expenditures. Revenue is recognized by participating hotels and resorts when points are redeemed for hotel stays.

The Company, through the services of third-party actuarial analysts, determines the fair value of the future redemption obligation based on statistical formulas which project the timing of future point redemption

based on historical experience, including an estimate of the “breakage” for points that will never be redeemed, and an estimate of the points that will eventually be redeemed. These factors determine the required liability for outstanding points. The Company’s management and franchise agreements require that the Company be reimbursed currently for the costs of operating the program, including marketing, promotion, communications with, and performing member services for the SPG members. Actual expenditures for SPG may differ from the actuarially determined liability.

The liability for the SPG program is included in other long-term liabilities and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The total actuarially determined liability as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 is $184 million and $175 million, respectively.

Asset Valuations. The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of its assets for impairment. Asset impairment analysis is conducted on the following classes of assets: (1) long lived assets (including assets held for sale); (2) investments; and (3) goodwill and intangible assets.

• Long Lived Assets — The expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets are compared to the net book value of the assets. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value is charged to current earnings. Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, appraisals and, if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets based on its plans, at the time, for such assets. Changes to the Company’s plans, including a decision to dispose of an asset, can have a material impact on the carrying value of the asset, the Company’s financial position and the Company’s results from operations.

• Investments — The Company also assesses the carrying value of its long-term investments. The fair market value of investments is based on the market prices for the last day of the accounting period if the investment trades on quoted exchanges. For non-traded investments, fair value is estimated based on the underlying value of the investment, which is dependent on the performance of the companies or ventures in which the Company has invested, as well as the volatility inherent in external markets for these types of investments.

In assessing potential impairment for these investments, the Company will consider these factors as well as forecasted financial performance of its investees. If these forecasts are not met, the Company may have to record impairment charges. The fair value of investments, which is based on market prices or the value of the underlying collateral, exceeds the carrying value of investments at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002.

• Goodwill and Intangible Assets — Goodwill and intangible assets arise in connection with acquisitions, including the acquisition of management contracts. The Company has ceased amortizing goodwill in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Intangible assets with finite lives continue to amortize on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. The Company reviews all goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment by comparisons of fair value to net book value annually, or upon the occurrence of a trigger event. Impairments, excluding those in the year of adoption, are recognized in operating results. Intangibles with finite lives are assessed for impairment on a basis consistent with the analysis conducted for long-lived assets described above.

Beneficial and Retained Interests. The Company periodically sells notes receivable originated by its vacation ownership business in connection with the sale of VOIs. The Company retains interests in the assets transferred to qualified and non-qualified special purpose entities, which are accounted for as over-collateralizations and interest only strips (“Beneficial or Retained Interests”). These Beneficial or Retained Interests are treated as “trading” for transactions prior to 2002 and “available-for-sale” for transactions thereafter under the provisions of SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company reports changes in the fair values of these Beneficial or Retained Interests through

the accompanying consolidated statements of income for trading securities and through the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income for available-for-sale securities. The Company had Beneficial and Retained Interests of $57 million and $47 million at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

Legal Contingencies. The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” requires that an estimated loss from a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure of a contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a significant loss has been incurred. The Company evaluates, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact the Company’s financial position or its results of operations.

Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact the Company’s financial position or its results of operations.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2002

The Company’s operating results for the second quarter of 2003 were significantly impacted by the weakened worldwide economic environment, the war in Iraq and its aftermath, and the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (“SARS”) epidemic, all of which have resulted in a dramatic slowdown in business and international travel. The decrease in business transient demand, when compared to the second quarter of 2002, had an adverse impact on the Company’s majority owned hotels, many of which are located in major urban markets.

Revenues. Total revenues, including other revenues from managed and franchised properties, were $1.220 billion, flat with 2002 levels. Total revenues, excluding other revenues from managed and franchised properties (“Total Revenues”), declined slightly to $1.000 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to $1.020 billion in the corresponding period in 2002. Total Revenues reflect a 3.2% decrease in revenues from the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels to $821 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to $848 million in the corresponding period of 2002, offset by an increase of $7 million in other hotel and leisure revenues to $179 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to $172 million in the corresponding period of 2002.

REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America decreased 5.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to the same period of 2002. REVPAR at the Company’s international Same-Store Owned Hotels, which slightly decreased by 0.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to the same period of 2002, was also impacted by weakened global economies, the situation in the Middle East and the SARS epidemic, but was offset by favorable effects of foreign currency translation. REVPAR for Same-Store Owned Hotels in Europe, where the Company has its biggest concentration of international owned hotels, decreased 17.2% excluding the favorable effect of foreign currency translation.

The increase in other hotel and leisure revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002, resulted from the increase in vacation ownership revenues of 13.1% to $111 million in 2003 compared to $99 million in 2002. Contract sales of VOI inventory increased 14.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002, primarily as a result of sales at the Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas in Maui, Hawaii. Gains on sales of receivables totaled $5 million and $9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively. These increases were partially offset by declines in equity earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures due to the continued weakeness in the hotel industry.

Other revenues and expenses from managed and franchised properties were $220 million and $200 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These revenues represent reimbursements of costs incurred on behalf of managed hotel properties and franchisees. These costs relate primarily to payroll costs at managed properties where the Company is the employer. Since the reimbursements are made based upon the costs incurred with no added margin, these revenues and corresponding expenses have no effect on the Company’s operating income, net income or profit margins.

Operating Income. Total Company operating income (which includes $1 million of restructuring and other special credits and $9 million of foreign exchange gains related to the devaluation of the Argentine Peso in 2002) was $130 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $196 million in 2002. Excluding depreciation and amortization of $105 million and $120 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, operating income decreased 25.6% or $81 million to $235 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to $316 million in the same period in 2002, primarily due to the decline in operating income at the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels as a result of the weakened global economies, the war in Iraq and its aftermath and the SARS epidemic. Operating income at the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels was $148 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $197 million in the same period of 2002. These hotels were also negatively impacted by increased energy and insurance costs and reduced cancellation and telecommunication fees in 2003 when compared to 2002. In addition, total Company operating income was adversely impacted by the nonrecurring Argentina foreign exchange gains in 2002 of $9 million and increased costs associated with workers compensation insurance, international pension and retirement plans and the Sheraton “Let’s Spend the Night Together” advertising campaign. Operating income for the vacation ownership segment was $27 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $28 million in 2002. Excluding depreciation and amortization of $3 million in each of the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, operating income declined to $30 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $31 million in the prior year primarily due to the $5 million gain on vacation ownership notes receivable sales realized in 2003 as compared to a gain of $9 million for the same period in 2002.

Restructuring and Other Special Credits. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a $1 million reversal of other special charges primarily related to the collection of receivables which were previously deemed uncollectible. There was no restructuring or special charge activity in 2003.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation expense decreased $17 million, to $98 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $115 million in the corresponding period of 2002. Additional depreciation expense resulting from capital expenditures at the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels in the past 12 months was offset by the reduced depreciation expense from fully depreciated furniture, fixtures and equipment, as the Company reached the five year anniversary of the merger with ITT Corporation in February 2003 and the classification of the 18 non-core domestic hotels, the four

Costa Smeralda hotels and the Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan, Italy (“Principe”) as held for sale effective March 31, 2003. Amortization expense increased to $7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $5 million in the corresponding period of 2002 due primarily to the amortization of intangible assets associated with new hotel management contracts.

Net Interest Expense. Interest expense, which is net of interest income of $1 million and discontinued operations allocations of $3 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, decreased to $73 million from $107 million. This decrease was due primarily to $29 million of early debt extinguishment charges recorded in the second quarter of 2002 and lower interest rates in 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 and the impact of certain financing transactions, including the issuance of convertible debt in May 2003. The Company’s weighted average interest rate was 5.44% at June 30, 2003 versus 5.75% at June 30, 2002.

Loss On Asset Dispositions and Impairments, Net. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $170 million (pre-tax) to write down a portfolio of 18 non-core domestic hotels, including several non-proprietary branded hotels to fair value less selling costs due to the Company’s plan to dispose of these assets subject to, in most cases, franchise agreements. The Company completed the sale of 13 of these hotels in June and early July 2003. On July 29, 2003, the Company signed binding agreements to sell two of these properties and continues to work towards the sale of the remaining three non-core domestic hotels. The Company expects to close these sales later in 2003. An additional impairment charge of $4 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2003 reflecting the actual and expected net sale proceeds for these hotels. The Company also recorded a $9 million gain on the sale of a 51% interest in undeveloped land in Costa Smeralda in Sardinia, Italy, which was offset by an $8 million write-down of the value of a hotel which was formerly managed together with one of the hotels sold in July 2003 and is now closed and under review for alternative use. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a $1 million impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of one of its marketable equity securities to fair value.

Discontinued Operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, loss from discontinued operations represents the results of the Principe net of $3 million in each period of allocated interest expense. The Company sold the Principe in June 2003, with no continuing involvement. The gain on dispositions for the three months ended June 30, 2003 consists of $193 million of gains recorded in connection with the sale of the Principe on June 30, 2003 and of the reversal of $49 million (pre-tax) of accruals relating to the Company’s former gaming business disposed of in 1999. The Company believes that these accruals are no longer required.

The $104 million gain on dispositions for the three months ended June 30, 2002, primarily relates to Internal Revenue Service regulations issued in 2002, which allowed the Company to recognize a tax benefit from a loss on the 1999 sale of the Company’s gaming business. The tax loss was previously disallowed under the old regulations. The remaining gain resulted from an adjustment to the Company’s tax basis in its World Directories subsidiary, which was disposed of in early 1998.

Income Tax Expense. The effective income tax rate for continuing operations for the second quarter of 2003 excluding special items was 0% compared to 20.5% in the corresponding quarter in 2002. The Company’s effective income tax rate excluding special items is determined by the level and composition of pre-tax income subject to varying foreign, state and local taxes and other items. The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 is significantly lower than the prior year due to the combination of the expected lower pre-tax earnings for 2003 and the level of the Company’s 2003 dividend, which at this time, is expected to be consistent with the $0.84 per Share annual dividend paid for 2002. Including the net tax benefits on special items primarily related to asset dispositions and impairment charges, as well as various adjustments related to the successful settlement of certain tax matters in 2003 and the early extinguishment of debt in the same period of 2002, the effective income tax rate for continuing operations was a benefit of 70.9% in the second quarter of 2003 as compared to a tax rate of 12.8% in the second quarter of 2002. See discussion above for the tax impact on discontinued operations during 2002.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2002

Revenues. Total revenues, including other revenues from managed and franchised properties, were $2.313 billion, up slightly from 2002 levels. Total revenues, excluding other revenues from managed and franchised properties (“Total Revenues”), declined slightly to $1.883 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to $1.904 billion in the corresponding period in 2002. Total Revenues reflect a 2.3% decrease in revenues from the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels to $1.553 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to $1.590 billion in the corresponding period of 2002, offset by an increase of $16 million in other hotel and leisure revenues to $330 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to $314 million in the corresponding period of 2002.

The decrease in revenues from owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels is due primarily to decreased revenues at the Company’s hotels owned during both periods (“Same-Store Owned Hotels”) (143 hotels for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, excluding one hotel without comparable results and 21 hotels sold or held for sale in 2003 and 2002). Revenues at the Company’s Same-Store Owned Hotels decreased 1.6% to $1.466 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to the same period of 2002 due primarily to a decrease in revenue per available room (“REVPAR”). REVPAR at the Company’s Same-Store Owned Hotels decreased 2.9% to $95.38 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to the corresponding 2002 period. The decrease in REVPAR was primarily attributed to decreases in average daily rate (“ADR”). ADR at these Same-Store Owned Hotels decreased to $151.65 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $153.21 for the corresponding 2002 period. Occupancy rates at these hotels decreased to 62.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to 64.1% in the same period in 2002. REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America decreased 4.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to the same period of 2002. As discussed above, the decrease in REVPAR and revenues from owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels in North America was primarily due to the decline in business transient demand as a result of the weakened global economies and the war in Iraq and its aftermath as well as the impact of SARS and particularly the World Health Organization’s travel advisory related to Toronto where the Company owns two Sheraton hotels, as well as the severe winter weather in the Northeast United States in February 2003 which significantly restricted travel in these regions. REVPAR at the Company’s international Same-Store Owned Hotels, which increased by 1.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to the same period of 2002, was also impacted by weakened global economies, the situation in the Middle East and the SARS epidemic, but was offset by net favorable effects of foreign currency translation. REVPAR for Same-Store Owned Hotels in Europe, where the Company has its biggest concentration of international owned hotels, decreased 14.1% excluding the favorable effect of foreign currency translation.

The increase in other hotel and leisure revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002, resulted from the increase in vacation ownership revenues of 13.7% to $204 million in 2003 compared to $180 million in 2002. Contract sales of VOI inventory increased 14.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002, primarily as a result of sales at the Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas in Maui, Hawaii. Gains on sales of receivables totaled $5 million and $10 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These increases were offset in part by reduced interest income and reduced equity earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures due to the continued weakness in the hotel industry.

Other revenues and expenses from managed and franchised properties were $430 million and $402 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These revenues represent reimbursements of costs incurred on behalf of managed hotel properties and franchisees. These costs relate primarily to payroll costs at managed properties where the Company is the employer. Since the reimbursements are made based upon the costs incurred with no added margin, these revenues and corresponding expenses have no effect on the Company’s operating income, net income or profit margins.

Operating Income. Total Company operating income (which includes $3 million of restructuring and other special credits and $33 million of foreign exchange gains related to the devaluation of the Argentine Peso in 2002) was $189 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $320 million in 2002. Excluding

depreciation and amortization of $222 million and $236 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, operating income decreased 26.1% or $145 million to $411 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 when compared to $556 million the same period in 2002, primarily due to the decline in operating income at the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels as a result of the weakened global economies, the war in Iraq and its aftermath and the SARS epidemic. In North America, where the Company has its largest concentration of owned hotels, the Company’s hotels were adversely impacted by the severe winter storm in the Northeast United States in February 2003, increased energy and insurance costs and reduced cancellation and telecommunication fees in 2003 when compared to 2002, in addition to the geopolitical climate discussed previously. Additional contributions to the decline in operating income was the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses which is due in part to the nonrecurring Argentina foreign exchange gains in 2002 of $33 million and increased costs associated with workers compensation insurance, international pension and retirement plans and the Sheraton “Let’s Spend the Night Together” advertising campaign. Operating income for the vacation ownership segment was $46 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $43 million in 2002. Excluding depreciation and amortization of $5 million in each of the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, operating income was $51 million as compared to $48 million in the prior year.

Restructuring and Other Special Credits. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded a $3 million reversal of other special charges primarily related to sales of the Company’s investments in certain e-business ventures previously deemed impaired and the collection of receivables which were previously deemed uncollectible. There was no restructuring or special charge activity in 2003.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation expense decreased by $17 million to $209 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $226 million in the corresponding period of 2002. Additional depreciation expense resulting from capital expenditures at the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels in the past 12 months was offset by the reduced depreciation expense from fully depreciated furniture, fixtures and equipment, as the Company reached the five year anniversary of the merger with ITT Corporation in February 2003 and the classification of the 18 non-core domestic hotels, the four Costa Smeralda hotels and the Principe as held for sale effective March 31, 2003. Amortization expense increased to $13 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $10 million in the corresponding period of 2002 due primarily to the amortization of intangible assets associated with new hotel management contracts.

Net Interest Expense. Interest expense, which is net of interest income of $1 million and discontinued operations allocations of $7 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, decreased to $150 million from $183 million. This decrease was due primarily to $29 million of early debt extinguishment charges recorded in the second quarter of 2002 and lower interest rates in 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 and the impact of certain financing transactions, including the issuance of debt in April 2002 and May 2003. The Company’s weighted average interest rate was 5.44% at June 30, 2003 versus 5.75% at June 30, 2002.

Loss On Asset Dispositions and Impairments, Net. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $170 million (pre-tax) to write down a portfolio of 18 non-core domestic hotels, including several non-proprietary branded hotels to fair value less selling costs due to the Company’s plan to dispose of these assets subject to, in most cases, franchise agreements. The Company completed the sale of 13 of these hotels in June and early July 2003. On July 29, 2003, the Company signed binding agreements to sell two of these properties and continues to work towards the sale of the remaining three non-core domestic hotels. The Company expects to close these sales later in 2003. An additional impairment charge of $4 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2003 reflecting the actual and expected net sale proceeds for these hotels. The Company also recorded a $9 million gain on the sale of a 51% interest in undeveloped land in Costa Smeralda in Sardinia, Italy, which was offset by an $8 million write-down of the value of a hotel which was formerly managed together with one of the hotels sold in July 2003 and is now closed and under review for alternative uses. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a $1 million impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of one of its marketable equity securities to fair value.

Discontinued Operations. Loss from discontinued operations represents the results of the Principe, net of $7 million in each period of allocated interest expense. The Company sold the Principe in June 2003, with no continuing involvement. The gain on dispositions for the three months ended June 30, 2003 consists of $193 million of (pre-tax) gains recorded in connection with the sale of the Principe on June 30, 2003 and the reversal of $52 million (pre-tax) of accruals relating to the Company’s former gaming business disposed of in 1999, which was completed in June 2000. The Company believes that these accruals are no longer required.

Income Tax Expense. The effective income tax rate for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 excluding special items was 0% compared to 20.6% in the corresponding period in 2002 The Company’s effective income tax rate excluding special items is determined by the level and composition of pre-tax income subject to varying foreign, state and local taxes and other items. The effective income tax rate for the six month ended June 30, 2003 is significantly lower than the prior year due to the combination of the expected lower pre-tax earnings for 2003 and the level of the Company’s 2003 dividend, which at this time, is expected to be consistent with the $0.84 per Share annual dividend paid for 2002. Including the tax net benefit on special items primarily related to asset dispositions and impairment charges as well as various adjustments related to the successful settlement of certain tax matters in 2003 and the taxes on the Argentine foreign exchange gains offset by tax benefits on the early extinguishment of debt in the same period of 2002, the effective income tax rate for continuing operations was a benefit of 77.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to 18.1% for the six months of 2002. See discussion above for the tax impact on discontinued operations during 2002.

Seasonality and Diversification

The hotel and leisure industry is seasonal in nature; however, the periods during which the Company’s properties experience higher hotel revenue activities vary from property to property and depend principally upon location. The Company’s revenues historically have generally been lower in the first quarter than in the second, third or fourth quarters.

Same-Store Owned Hotels Results

Starwood continually updates and renovates its owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels. While undergoing major renovation, these hotels are generally not operating at full capacity and, as such, these renovations can negatively impact Starwood’s hotel revenues. Starwood expects to continue renovating its owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels as it pursues its brand and quality strategies. In addition, several owned hotels are located in regions which are seasonal and therefore, these hotels do not operate at full capacity throughout the year.

The following table summarizes REVPAR, ADR and occupancy for the Company’s Same-Store Owned Hotels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 represent results for 143 owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels

(excluding one hotel for which comparable results are not available and 21 hotels sold or held for sale in 2003 and 2002).

The following is a reconciliation of total revenues from owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels to systemwide revenues (in millions):



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,

	2003		2002		2003		2002

Revenues from owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels	$	821	$	848	$	1,553	$	1,590
Revenues generated at managed properties		1,237		1,253		2,463		2,382

Systemwide revenues	$	2,058	$	2,101	$	4,016	$	3,972

The Company considers systemwide revenues to be a meaningful indicator of its performance, as it measures the growth in revenues of all properties operated by the Company. The Company’s growth profitability is in part driven by such overall revenue growth.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities

Cash flow from operating activities is the principal source of cash used to fund the Company’s operating expenses, interest payments on debt, maintenance capital expenditures and distribution payments by the Trust. Despite the weakened global economies, the impact of the war in Iraq and the lead-up to it, the Company anticipates that cash flow provided by operating activities will be sufficient to service these cash requirements. In 2002, the Company shifted from a quarterly distribution to an annual distribution, declaring a distribution of $0.84 per share to shareholders of record on December 31, 2002. The Company paid the 2002 distribution in January 2003. The Company believes that existing borrowing availability together with capacity from additional borrowings and cash from operations will be adequate to meet all funding requirements for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

In limited cases, the Company has made loans to owners of or partners in hotel or resort ventures for which the Company has a management or franchise agreement. Loans outstanding under this program totaled $148 million at June 30, 2003. The Company evaluates these loans for impairment, and at June 30, 2003, believes these loans are collectible. Unfunded loan commitments aggregating $26 million were outstanding at June 30, 2003, of which minimal amounts are expected to be funded in 2003 and $8 million is expected to be funded in total. These loans typically are secured by pledges of project ownership interests and/or mortgages on the projects.

The Company participates in programs with unaffiliated lenders in which the Company may partially guarantee loans made to facilitate third-party ownership of hotels that the Company manages or franchises. As of June 30, 2003, the Company was a guarantor for loans which could reach a maximum of $169 million relating primarily to three projects: the St. Regis in Monarch Beach, California, which opened in mid-2001; the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona, which opened in November 2002; and the Westin in Charlotte, North Carolina, which opened in April 2003. In connection with the loan guarantee for the Westin Charlotte, the Company also entered into a guarantee to fund working capital shortfalls for this resort through 2005. No significant fundings are anticipated under this working capital guarantee. With respect to the Westin Kierland, the guarantee is joint and several with another equity partner. The Company does not anticipate any funding under these loan guarantees in 2003, as all projects are well capitalized. Furthermore, since each of these properties was funded with significant equity and subordinated debt financing, if the Company’s loan guarantees were to be called, the Company could take an equity position in these properties at values significantly below construction costs.

In order to secure management and franchise contracts, the Company may provide performance guarantees to third-party owners. Most of these performance guarantees allow the Company to terminate the contract rather than fund shortfalls if certain performance levels are not met. In limited cases, the Company is obliged to fund shortfalls in performance levels. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had seven management contracts with performance guarantees with possible cash outlays of up to $74 million, $50 million of which, if required, would be funded over a period of 25 years and would be largely offset by management fees received under these contracts. Many of the performance tests are multi-year tests, are tied to the results of a competitive set of hotels, and have exclusions for force majeure and acts of war and terrorism. The Company does not anticipate any significant funding under the performance guarantees in 2003. In addition, the Company has agreed to guarantee certain performance levels at a managed hotel that has authorized VOI sales and marketing. The exact amount and nature of the guaranty is currently under dispute. However, the Company does not believe that any payments under this guaranty will be significant. Lastly, the Company does not anticipate losing a significant number of management or franchise contracts in 2003.

The Company intends to finance the acquisition of additional hotel properties (including equity investments), hotel renovations, VOI construction, capital improvements, technology spend and other core business acquisitions and investments and provide for general corporate purposes through its credit facilities described below, through the net proceeds from dispositions and when market conditions warrant, through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities.

The Company periodically reviews its business with a view to identifying properties or other assets that we believe either are non-core, no longer complement our business, are in markets which may not benefit us as much as other markets during an economic recovery or could be sold at significant premiums. The Company is focused on restructuring and enhancing real estate returns and monetizing investments. In the first quarter of 2003, the Company entered into binding agreements to sell the Principe and a portfolio of assets including four hotels, a marina and shipyard, a golf club and a 51% interest in its undeveloped land assets in Costa Smeralda in Sardinia, Italy (“Sardinia Assets”), for 275 million Euro and 290 million Euro, respectively (aggregate of $655 million based on exchange rates as of the respective sale dates). These asset sales were completed in June 2003. Also at the end of the first quarter of 2003, the Company approved a plan to sell a portfolio of 18 non-core domestic hotels. In the latter part of the second quarter and early July, the Company sold 13 of these non-core domestic hotels. The Company completed the sale of 13 of these hotels in June and early July 2003. On July 29, 2003, the Company signed binding agreements to sell two of these properties and continues to work towards the sale of the remaining three non-core domestic hotel. The Company expects to close these sales later in 2003. Total proceeds from all three transactions, are expected to be approximately $1.1 billion. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to complete the remaining dispositions on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Cash Used for Financing Activities

In May 2003, the Company sold an aggregated amount of $360 million 3.5% coupon convertible senior notes due 2023. The notes are convertible, subject to certain conditions, into 7.2 million Shares based on a conversion price of $50.00 per Share. Gross proceeds received were used to repay a portion of the Company’s Senior Credit Facility and for other operational purposes. Holders may first present their notes to the Company for repurchase in May 2006.

In October 2002, the Company refinanced its previous senior credit facility with a new four-year $1.3 billion facility, comprised of a $1.0 billion revolving facility and a $300 million term loan, each maturing in 2006, with a one-year extension option, and an initial interest rate of LIBOR + 1.625% (the “Senior Credit Facility”). The proceeds of the new Senior Credit Facility were used to pay off all amounts owed under the Company’s previous senior credit facility, which was due to mature in February 2003. The Company incurred approximately $1 million in charges in connection with this early extinguishment of debt.

In September 2002, the Company terminated certain fair value swaps, resulting in a $78 million cash payment to the Company. These proceeds were used to pay down the previous revolving credit facility and will result in a decrease to the interest expense on the hedged debt through its maturity in 2007. In order to retain its fixed versus floating rate debt position, the Company immediately entered into five new fair value swaps on the same underlying debt as the terminated swaps.

In April 2002, the Company sold $1.5 billion of senior notes in two tranches — $700 million principal amount of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2007 and $800 million principal amount of 7 7/8% senior notes due 2012 (the “Senior Notes Offering”). The Company used the proceeds to repay all of its senior secured notes facility and a portion of its previous senior credit facility. In connection with the repayment of debt, the Company incurred charges of approximately $29 million including approximately $23 million for the early termination of interest rate swap agreements associated with repaid debt, and $6 million write-off of deferred financing costs and termination fees for the early extinguishment of debt.

The Company maintains non-U.S.-dollar-denominated debt, which provides a hedge of the Company’s international net assets and operations but also exposes its debt balance to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. At June 30, 2003, the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates was a net increase in debt of approximately $41 million when compared to December 31, 2002. The Company’s debt balance is also affected by changes in interest rates as a result of the Company’s fair value swaps. The fair market value of the fair value swaps is recorded as an asset or liability and as the fair value swaps are deemed to be effective, an adjustment is recorded against the corresponding debt. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company’s debt included an increase of approximately $85 million and $75 million, respectively related to the unamortized gain on terminated fair value swaps and the fair market value of current fair value swaps.

A portion of the proceeds from the sales of the Principe and Sardinia Assets were used to repay the 450 million Euro debt scheduled to mature in June 2003, as required by the debt agreement. Approximately $250 million of the Sheraton Holdings public debt matures in November 2003. Based upon the current level of operations, management believes that the Company’s cash flow from operations, together with cash on hand, available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (approximately $705 million at June 30, 2003), available borrowings from international revolving lines of credit (approximately $77 million), capacity from additional borrowings and proceeds from non-core asset sales, will be adequate to meet anticipated requirements for scheduled maturities, dividends, working capital, capital expenditures, marketing and advertising program expenditures, other discretionary investments, interest and scheduled principal payments for the foreseeable future. However, Starwood has a substantial amount of indebtedness and had a working capital deficiency of $246 million at June 30, 2003. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to repay or refinance its indebtedness as it becomes due and, if re-financed, on favorable terms, nor can there be assurance that the Company’s business will continue to generate cash flow at or above historical levels or that currently anticipated results will be achieved.

On May 6, 2003, S&P announced its decision to downgrade the company’s Credit Rating to BB+ (non-investment grade with a stable outlook) from BBB-(investment grade rating on Credit Watch with negative implications). The downgrading of the Company’s credit rating may result in higher borrowing costs on future financings.

At June 30, 2003, approximately 900,000 shares of Class B Exchangeable Preferred Shares and Limited Partnership Units of SLC Operating Limited Partnership and SLT Realty Limited partnership (“Exchangeable Units”) can be put to the Company at $38.50 per unit, aggregating $35 million.

If Starwood is unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service the Company’s debt, the Company may be required to sell additional assets, reduce capital expenditures, refinance all or a portion of its existing debt or obtain additional financing. The Company’s ability to make scheduled principal payments, to pay interest on or to refinance the Company’s indebtedness depends on its future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the hotel and vacation ownership industries and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond the Company’s control, including the severity and duration of the current economic downturn.

The following is a summary of the Company’s debt portfolio as of June 30, 2003:

existing Share program, of up to an additional $500 million of Shares, subject to the terms of the senior credit facility. At June, 2003, remaining availability under the Share Repurchase Program was $633 million.

(1) Filed or furnished herewith.


(a)	Balance excludes other revenues from managed and franchised properties of $220 million, $200 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $430 million and $402 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

(b)	The following costs are not allocated to hotel and leisure in evaluating operating income:


(c)	Includes assets held for sale of $444 million and $839 million at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.


	•	Owned, Leased and Consolidated Joint Ventures — Represents revenue primarily derived from hotel operations, including the rental of rooms and food and beverage sales, from a worldwide network of owned, leased or consolidated joint venture hotels and resorts operated primarily under the Company’s proprietary brand names including St. Regis, The Luxury Collection, Sheraton, Westin, W and Four Points by Sheraton. Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied and services have been rendered.

	•	Management and Franchise Fees — Represents fees earned on hotels managed worldwide, usually under long-term contracts with the hotel owner, and franchise fees received in connection with the franchise of the Company’s Sheraton, Westin, Four Points by Sheraton and Luxury Collection brand names. Management fees are comprised of a base fee, which is generally based on a percentage of gross revenues, and an incentive fee, which is generally based on the property’s profitability. Base fee revenues are recognized when earned in accordance with the terms of the contract. For any time during the year, incentive fees are recognized for the fees due and earned as if the contract was terminated at that date, exclusive of any termination fees due or payable. Franchise fees are generally based on a percentage of hotel room revenues and are recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 45, “Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue,” as the fees are earned and become due from the franchisee. Management and franchise fees are recognized in other hotel and leisure revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

	•	Vacation Ownership — The Company recognizes revenue from VOI sales in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” The Company recognizes sales when a minimum of 10% of the purchase price for the VOI has been received in cash, the period of cancellation with refund has expired and receivables are deemed collectible. For sales that do not qualify for full revenue recognition as the project has progressed beyond the preliminary stages but has not yet reached completion, all revenue and profit are initially deferred and recognized in earnings through the percentage-of-completion method. Vacation ownership revenues are recognized in other hotel and leisure revenues in the consolidated statements of income. From time to time, the Company may also securitize or sell its VOI receivables. These securitizations are accounted for as sales transactions under the guidance of SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities — replacement of FASB Statement No. 125”.


	•	Long Lived Assets — The expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets are compared to the net book value of the assets. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value is charged to current earnings. Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, appraisals and, if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets based on its plans, at the time, for such assets. Changes to the Company’s plans, including a decision to dispose of an asset, can have a material impact on the carrying value of the asset, the Company’s financial position and the Company’s results from operations.

	•	Investments — The Company also assesses the carrying value of its long-term investments. The fair market value of investments is based on the market prices for the last day of the accounting period if the investment trades on quoted exchanges. For non-traded investments, fair value is estimated based on the underlying value of the investment, which is dependent on the performance of the companies or ventures in which the Company has invested, as well as the volatility inherent in external markets for these types of investments.


	•	Goodwill and Intangible Assets — Goodwill and intangible assets arise in connection with acquisitions, including the acquisition of management contracts. The Company has ceased amortizing goodwill in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Intangible assets with finite lives continue to amortize on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. The Company reviews all goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment by comparisons of fair value to net book value annually, or upon the occurrence of a trigger event. Impairments, excluding those in the year of adoption, are recognized in operating results. Intangibles with finite lives are assessed for impairment on a basis consistent with the analysis conducted for long-lived assets described above.


(1)	Included in these balances are commitments that may be satisfied by the Company’s managed and franchised properties.


(a)	Excludes approximately $406 million of the Company’s share of unconsolidated joint venture debt, all of which is non-recourse, except as noted earlier.

(b)	At June 30, 2003, one-month LIBOR was 1.12%

(c)	Included approximately $29 million and $56 million at June 30, 2003 of fair value adjustments related to the fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps for the Sheraton Holding public debt and the Senior Notes, respectively.

(d)	Maturity reflects the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility which would be used to refinance the amount put to the Company.

(e)	Maturity reflects the earliest date the debt can be put to the Company.


	•	May 6, 2003, reporting under Items 5 and 7 the decision by Standard & Poor’s Ratings services to lower Starwood’s corporate rating to BB+ (non-investment grade) with a stable outlook from BBB- (investment grade).


	•	May 9, 2003, reporting under Items 5 and 7 that the Company has agreed to sell $300 million principle convertible senior notes due 2023, plus an option to the initial purchasers to acquire up to an additional $60 million.

	•	June 12, 2003, reporting under Items 5 and 7 that the initial purchases of the $300 million principle convertible senior notes described above have exercised their option to acquire an additional $60 million of principle amount of such notes.


	•	April 29, 2003, reporting under Items 5 and 7 its press release announcing earnings for the first quarter of 2003.
