Item 2. Acquisition Or Disposition Of Assets

On December 30, 1998, Host Marriott Corporation("Host Marriott" or "Host
REIT"), through its subsidiary Host Marriott, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership"), acquired ownership of, or controlling interests in, 12 upscale
and luxury full-service hotels and certain other assets (collectively, the
"Blackstone Portfolio") from the Blackstone Group, a Delaware limited
partnership, and a series of funds controlled by affiliates Blackstone Real
Estate Partners (together, the "Blackstone Entities"). Host Marriott
Corporation is the sole general partner and majority limited partner of Host
Marriott, L.P. In exchange for these assets, (1) Host Marriott, L.P. issued
approximately 43.9 million of its limited partnership units ("OP Units") which
OP Units are redeemable for cash (or at Host Marriott's option, shares of
common stock of Host Marriott), assumed debt and made cash payments totaling
approximately $920 million and (2) Host Marriott distributed 1.4 million shares
of Crestline Capital Corporation ("Crestline", NYSE:CLJ). The actual number of
OP Units to be issued to the Blackstone Entities will fluctuate based upon
certain adjustments to be determined on March 31, 1999. Based on current stock
prices, the Operating Partnership will be required to issue to the Blackstone
Entities approximately 3.7 million additional OP Units in April 1999. The
Blackstone Portfolio includes interest in The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, The
Ritz-Carlton, Boston, the Hyatt Regency Burlingame at San Francisco Airport,
the Hyatt Regency Cambridge, the Hyatt Regency Reston, Virginia, the Grand
Hyatt Atlanta, the Four Seasons Philadelphia, the Four Seasons Atlanta, the

A director of Host Marriott Corporation, John G. Schreiber, is a limited
partner of Blackstone Real Estate Associates, LP and Blackstone Real Estate

approximately 34.8 million partnership units of Host Marriott, L.P.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Host Marriott, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Blackstone
Hotel Portfolio (as defined in Note 1) as of December 29, 1998, and the related
combined statements of operations, changes in capital and cash flows for the
period from January 1, 1998 to December 29, 1998. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Blackstone Hotel Portfolio's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the combined 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Blackstone
Hotel Portfolio as of December 29, 1998, and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the period from January 1, 1998 to December 29, 1998, in

THE BLACKSTONE HOTEL PORTFOLIO
(Acquired by Host Marriott, L.P. on December 30, 1998)

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Acquisition of Blackstone Hotel Portfolio

On December 30, 1998 (the "Acquisition Date"), Host Marriott, L.P. (the
"Operating Partnership") a Delaware limited partnership and subsidiary of Host
Marriott Corporation ("Host REIT"), acquired controlling interests in the land,
building, improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment related to the
twelve hotels listed below that were acquired from Affiliates of Blackstone(R)
Real Estate Partners I and Blackstone(R) Real Estate Partners II Funds
(collectively, "Blackstone"). These hotels are collectively referred to herein
as the "Blackstone Hotel Portfolio".

. the Grand Hyatt Atlanta (Atlanta, Georgia)

. the Swissotel Atlanta (Atlanta, Georgia)

. the Four Seasons Atlanta (Atlanta, Georgia)

. The Ritz-Carlton--Boston (Boston, Massachusetts)

. the Swissotel Boston (Boston, Massachusetts)

. the Hyatt Regency Cambridge (Cambridge, Massachusetts)

. the Hyatt Regency Reston (Reston, Virginia)

. the Hyatt Regency Burlingame (San Francisco, California)

. the Four Seasons Philadelphia (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

. The Ritz-Carlton--Amelia Island (Amelia Island, Florida)

. the Swissotel Chicago (Chicago, Illinois)

. the Swissotel New York (New York, New York)

In exchange for these assets, (1) Host Marriott, L.P., issued to Blackstone
approximately 43.9 million of its limited partnership units (OP Units) (which
are convertible into cash or at Host REIT's option, common stock of Host REIT),
assumed debt of $792 million, made cash payments totaling approximately $117
million and (2) Host REIT distributed 1.4 million shares of Crestline Capital
Corporation ( a subsidiary of Host Marriott spun-off to its shareholders on
December 29, 1998, herein referred to as Crestline) common stock and other
consideration to Blackstone. The total number of OP Units to be issued to
Blackstone will fluctuate based upon certain adjustments to be determined on
March 31, 1999. Based on the relative stock prices of Host Marriott and
Crestline, the Operating Partnership will be required to issue to Blackstone
approximately 3.7 million additional OP Units pursuant to such adjustments in
April 1999. The Blackstone Hotel Portfolio consists of four properties managed
by Swissotel Management (USA) L.L.C., four hotels managed by Hyatt Corporation,
two hotels managed by The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company and two hotels managed by
Four Seasons Hotels Limited. The accompanying combined financial statements of
the Blackstone Hotel Portfolio present the financial position and results of
operations and cash flows of the Blackstone Hotel Portfolio prior to
acquisition by the Operating Partnership. The Blackstone Hotel Portfolio
consists of twelve hotels, which were owned by six separate limited liability
corporations and three limited partnerships. The assets and liabilities of the
Blackstone Hotel Portfolio are presented at Blackstone's historical basis and
do not reflect the basis that will be recorded by the Operating Partnership. No
adjustments related to the acquisition are reflected in the accompanying
combined financial statements.

The balance sheet and operating accounts of the Blackstone Hotel Portfolio
have been combined in these financial statements because the hotels were
acquired simultaneously by the Operating Partnership as a portfolio from
affiliated entities and are intended to meet the requirements of Rule 3-05 of
Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

2. Description of Host Marriott Corporation REIT Conversion

During 1998, Host REIT, Host REIT's predecessor Host Marriott Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("Host" or "Host Marriott"), and their subsidiaries
(including the Operating Partnership) and affiliates consummated a series of
transactions intended to enable Host Marriott to qualify as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes. As a result of these transactions (which are referred to
collectively herein as the "REIT Conversion"), the hotel ownership business
formerly conducted by Host Marriott and its subsidiaries and other affiliates
is now conducted as an Umbrella Partnership REIT through the Operating
Partnership and its subsidiaries. Host REIT is the sole general partner of the
Operating Partnership and intends to elect, effective January 1, 1999, to be
treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

Effective December 29, 1998, Host Marriott merged with and into Host REIT,
then named HMC Merger Corporation. In the merger, Host Marriott shareholders
received one share of common stock of Host REIT for each share of Host Marriott
common stock. In addition, Host REIT made certain distributions to its
shareholders in which they received one-tenth of one share of common stock of
Crestline and $1 or 0.087 share of Host REIT, at the election of the
shareholder, for each share of Host Marriott common stock. Host REIT was the
surviving entity in the merger and subsequently renamed itself Host Marriott
Corporation.

Subsequent to their acquisition by the Operating Partnership, the hotels
were leased to subsidiaries of Crestline.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Combination

The combined financial statements include the accounts of the Blackstone
Hotel Portfolio. The Blackstone Hotel Portfolio's records are maintained on the
accrual basis of accounting. As part of the acquisition, the Operating
Partnership acquired mortgage notes relating to The Ritz Carlton-Boston and the
Hyatt Regency Burlingame totalling $86.9 million which were held by Blackstone
and therefore eliminated in combination. Acquisition of these mortgage notes by
the Blackstone Hotel Portfolio have been treated as capital contributions by
Blackstone.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at the historical purchase price of the
seller, adjusted for replacements and improvements which are capitalized, and
accumulated depreciation.

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.

Blackstone 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 Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs related to long-term debt are deferred and
amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining life of the debt
which approximates the effective interest method.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Blackstone considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90
days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

11
<PAGE>

THE BLACKSTONE HOTEL PORTFOLIO
(Acquired by Host Marriott, L.P. on December 30, 1998)

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

Revenues

Revenues primarily represent the gross sales generated by the Blackstone
Hotel Portfolio's hotels.

Income Taxes
The accompanying combined statement of operations includes no provision for
income taxes because the hotels within the Blackstone Hotel Portfolio were
owned by limited partnerships and limited liability companies which do not pay
income taxes, but, rather allocate their profits and losses to the partners and
members. The acquisition by the Operating Partnership creates a new income tax
structure for most of these assets.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

Blackstone had eight interest rate swap agreements which effectively
converted certain of its debt from variable rate to fixed rate debt. The
interest rate differential paid or received on interest rate swap agreements is
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Blackstone Hotel
Portfolio to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of
cash and cash equivalents. Blackstone maintains cash and cash equivalents with
various high credit-quality financial institutions. Blackstone performs
periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial
institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any institution.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

9. Hotel Management Agreements

Swissotel Hotel Management Agreements

Four of the Blackstone Hotel Portfolio's hotels are subject to management
agreements with Swissotel Management (USA) L.L.C. ("Swissotel"), under which
Swissotel will manage the four hotels for initial terms of 15 years with two 5
year extensions at the option of Swissotel. The agreements provide for payment
of basic management fees equal to 1.5% of sales, trademark fees of 1% of sales
and incentive management fees equal to 12% of net operating income (as defined
in the agreements) over a priority return (as defined). Blackstone has the
option to terminate the agreements if certain performance thresholds defined in
the agreements are not met. No agreement with respect to a single hotel is
cross-defaulted to any other agreement and a single agreement may be cancelled
under certain conditions, although such cancellation will not trigger the
cancellation of any other agreement.

Blackstone is obligated to provide Swissotel with sufficient funds to cover
the costs of (a) certain non-routine repairs and maintenance to the hotels that
are normally capitalized; and b) replacements and renewals to the hotels'
property and improvements. Blackstone is required to establish an escrow
account for such purposes and is required to contribute 4% of hotel sales into
such escrow account. Contributions were $5.8 million for the four hotels
managed by Swissotel during the year ended December 29, 1998. The balance of
the escrow account for certain furniture, fixtures, furnishings and equipment
("FF&E") for the above-mentioned hotels was approximately $3 million as of
December 29, 1998.

Hyatt Corporation Management Agreements

Four of the Blackstone Hotel Portfolio's hotels are subject to management
agreements with Hyatt Corporation ("Hyatt"), under which Hyatt will manage the
four hotels for initial terms of 10 to 30 years with renewal extensions at the
option of either party. The agreements provide for payment of basic management
fees ranging from 2.5% to 4% of sales and incentive management fees ranging
from 10% to 25% of operating profit (as defined in the agreements) over a
priority return (as defined). Blackstone has the option to terminate the
agreements if certain performance thresholds are not met, as defined in the
agreements. No agreement with respect to a single hotel is cross-defaulted to
any other agreement and a single agreement may be cancelled under certain
conditions, although such cancellation will not trigger the cancellation of any
other agreement.

Blackstone is obligated to provide Hyatt with sufficient funds to cover the
costs of (a) certain non-routine repairs and maintenance to the hotels that are
normally capitalized; and b) replacements and renewals to the hotels' property
and improvements. Blackstone is required to establish an escrow account for
such purposes and is required to contribute 4% of hotel sales into such escrow
account. Contributions were $6.3 million for the four hotels managed by Hyatt
during the year ended December 29, 1998. The balance of the FF&E escrow account
for the above-mentioned hotels was approximately $4.2 million as of December
29, 1998.

Two of the Blackstone Hotel Portfolio's hotels are subject to management
agreements with The Ritz Carlton Hotel Company ("Ritz"), under which Ritz will
manage the two hotels for initial terms of 25 years with four 10 year renewal
extensions at the option of Ritz. The agreements provide for payment of
operator fees ranging from 3% to 5% of sales and incentive management fees
ranging from 0% to 10% of operating profit (as defined in the agreements) over
a priority return (as defined). The total management fees earned by Ritz can
not exceed 5% of gross revenues, as defined in the agreements. Blackstone has
the option to terminate the agreements if certain performance thresholds
defined in the agreements are not met. No agreement with respect to a single
hotel is cross-defaulted to any other agreement and a single agreement may be
cancelled under certain conditions, although such cancellation will not trigger
the cancellation of any other agreement.

Blackstone is obligated to provide Ritz with sufficient funds to cover the
costs of (a) certain non-routine repairs and maintenance to the hotels that are
normally capitalized; and b) replacements and renewals to the hotels' property
and improvements. Blackstone is required to establish an escrow account for
such purposes and is required to contribute 4% of hotel sales into such escrow
account. Contributions were $3.7 million for the two hotels managed by Ritz
during the year ended December 29, 1998. The balance of the FF&E escrow account
for the above-mentioned hotels was approximately $4 million as of December 29,
1998.

Four Seasons Hotels Limited Management Agreements

Two of the Blackstone Hotel Portfolio's hotels are subject to management
agreements with Four Seasons Hotels Limited ("Four Seasons"), under which Four
Seasons will manage the two hotels for initial terms of 20 years with renewal
extensions at the option of Four Seasons. The agreements provide for payment of
operator fees ranging from 1.5% to 2% of sales and incentive management fees
ranging from 10% to 20% of operating profit (as defined in the agreements) over
a priority return (as defined). Blackstone has the option to terminate the
agreements if certain performance thresholds defined in the agreements are not
met. No agreement with respect to a single hotel is cross-defaulted to any
other agreement and a single agreement may be cancelled under certain
conditions, although such cancellation will not trigger the cancellation of any
other agreement.

Blackstone is obligated to provide Four Seasons with sufficient funds to
cover the costs of (a) certain non-routine repairs and maintenance to the
hotels that are normally capitalized; and b) replacements and renewals to the
hotels' property and improvements. Blackstone is required to establish an
escrow account for such purposes and is required to contribute 2% to 3% of
hotel sales into such escrow account. Contributions were $1.5 million for the
two hotels managed by Four Seasons during the year ended December 29, 1998. The
balance of the FF&E escrow account for the above-mentioned hotels was
approximately $446,000 as of December 29, 1998.

10. Litigation

Blackstone is from time-to-time the subject of, or involved in, judicial
proceedings. Management believes that any liability or loss resulting from such
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or
results of operations of the Blackstone Hotel Portfolio.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Host Marriott Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Host
Marriott Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and January 2,
1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three fiscal
years in the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and January 2,
1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
has given retroactive effect to the change to include property-level sales and
operating expenses of its hotels in the consolidated statements of operations.

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Host Marriott Corporation a Maryland corporation formerly named HMC Merger
Corporation ("Host REIT"), operating through an umbrella partnership structure,
is the owner of full-service hotel properties. Host REIT operates as a self-
managed and self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") and its
operations are conducted solely through an operating partnership and its
subsidiaries. As REITs are not permitted to derive revenues directly from the
operations of hotels, Host REIT leases substantially all of the hotels to
subsidiaries of Crestline Capital Corporation ("Crestline" or the "Lessee") and
certain other lessees as further discussed at Note 9.

As of December 31, 1998, Host REIT owned, or had controlling interests in,
126 upscale and luxury, full-service hotel lodging properties generally located
throughout the United States and operated primarily under the Marriott, Ritz-
Carlton, Four Seasons, Swissotel and Hyatt brand names. Most of these
properties are managed by Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott
International"). Host REIT also has certain economic, non-voting interests in
certain Non-Controlled Subsidiaries, whose hotels are also managed by Marriott
International (see Note 4).

Basis of Presentation

On April 16, 1998, the Board of Directors 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 Marriott, L.P. (the
"Operating Partnership"). Host Marriott merged into HMC Merger Corporation (the
"Merger"), a newly formed Maryland corporation (renamed Host Marriott
Corporation) which intends to qualify, effective January 1, 1999, as a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") and is the sole general partner of the
Operating Partnership. Host Marriott's 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 was accounted for at Host Marriott's
historical basis. As of December 31, 1998, Host REIT owned approximately 78% of
the Operating Partnership.

In these consolidated financial statements, the "Company" or "Host Marriott"
refers to Host Marriott Corporation, both before and after the Merger and its
conversion to a REIT (the "REIT Conversion").

On December 29, 1998, the Company completed the previously announced 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 have
been 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. All historical financial statements presented
have been restated to conform to this presentation, with the historical assets
and liabilities of that segment presented on the balance sheet as Net
Investment in Discontinued Operations.

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. Fiscal year 1998 and 1997 included 52 weeks
compared to 53 weeks for fiscal year 1996.

Revenues and Expenses

Revenues primarily represent the gross sales generated by the Company's
hotel properties and net gains (losses) on property transactions. As discussed
below, the Company previously recorded only the house profit generated by the
Company's hotels as revenue. House profit is total hotel sales less certain
hotel property-level costs and expenses, which reflects the net revenues
flowing to the Company as the property owner.

On November 20, 1997, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus on EITF 97-2,
"Application of FASB Statement No. 94 and APB Opinion No. 16 to Physician
Practice Management Entities and Certain Other Entities with Contractual
Management Arrangements." EITF 97-2 addresses the circumstances in which a
management entity may include the revenues and expenses of a managed entity in
its financial statements.

The Company considered the impact of EITF 97-2 on its financial statements
and determined that EITF 97-2 requires the Company to include property-level
sales and operating expenses of its hotels in its statements of operations. The
Company has given retroactive effect to the adoption of EITF 97-2 in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Application of EITF 97-2 to
the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31,
1998, January 2, 1998 and January 3, 1997 increased both revenues and operating
expenses by approximately $2.1 billion, $1.7 billion and $1.2 billion,
respectively, and had no impact on operating profit, net income (loss) or
earnings per share.

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, all operations are required to be reported on a
calendar year basis in accordance with Federal income tax regulations. As a
result, the Company has 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 share by $.02.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings
per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding plus other dilutive securities.
Diluted earnings per common share has not been adjusted for the impact of the
Convertible Preferred Securities for 1997 and 1996 and for the comprehensive
stock plan and warrants for 1996 as they were anti-dilutive. In December 1998,
the Company declared the Special Dividend (Note 2) and, in February 1999, the
Company distributed 11.9 million shares to existing shareholders in conjunction
with the Special Dividend. The weighted average number of common shares
outstanding and the basic and diluted earnings per share computations have been
restated to reflect these shares as outstanding for all periods presented.

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

In February 1999, the Company issued 8.5 million shares in exchange for 8.5
million OP Units issued to certain limited partners in connection with the
Partnership Mergers (see Note 12) which are deemed outstanding at December 31,
1998.

A reconciliation of the number of shares utilized for the calculation of
dilutive earnings per common share follows:

International Operations

The consolidated statements of operations include the following amounts
related to non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates: revenues of $121 million, $105
million and $49 million and income (loss) before income taxes of $7 million,
($9 million) and ($2 million) in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Minority Interest

The 22% of the Operating Partnership equity owned by outside third parties
is presented as minority interest ($368 million as of December 31, 1998).
Minority interest also includes minority interests in consolidated investments
of the Operating Partnership of $147 million.

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.

Gains on sales of properties are recognized at the time of sale or deferred
to the extent required by generally accepted accounting principles. 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

26
<PAGE>

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

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 $22 million and $115 million at December
31, 1998 and January 2, 1998, 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
shareholders' equity 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 institution.

The Company is also subject to credit risk as a party to interest rate swap
agreements. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its contracting
parties by evaluating credit exposure and referring to the ratings of widely
accepted credit rating services. The Standard and Poors' long-term debt
ratings for the contracting parties are AA-, AA- and BBB+. The Company is
exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the contracting
party to the interest rate swap agreements; however, the Company does not
anticipate non-performance by any of the contracting parties.

In addition, on January 1, 1999, subsidiaries of Crestline became the
lessees of virtually all the hotels and, as such, its rent payments are the
primary source of the Company's future revenues. Rent payments are provided
from pools of hotels which are guaranteed by Crestline. For discussion of the
guarantee, see Note 9. However, management believes that due to Crestline's
substantial assets, net worth and ability to operate as a separate publicly
traded company, Crestline will have the financial stability and access to
capital necessary to meet the substantial obligations as lessee under the
leases.

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

REIT Conversion Expenses

The Company has 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. As of December 31, 1998, $48 million
of REIT Conversion expenses were accrued and included in accounts payable and
accrued expenses.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company has entered into a limited number of interest rate swap
agreements for non-trading purposes. The Company uses 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 is
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.

Other Comprehensive Income

As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130) which establishes new rules for the reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS 130 requires
unrealized gains or losses on the Company's right to receive HM Services stock
(see Note 10) and foreign currency translation adjustments, to be included in
other comprehensive income. Prior year financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the requirements of SFAS 130.

The components of total accumulated other comprehensive income in the
balance sheet are as follows (in millions):

<TABLE>

Net unrealized gains ............................................. 5 12
Foreign currency translation adjustment........................... (9) --

</TABLE>

Application of New Accounting Standards

During 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." In 1997, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share;" SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure
of Information About Capital Structure" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The adoption of these
statements did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements and comprehensive income.

As discussed above, the Company has retroactively adopted EITF 97-2.

28
<PAGE>

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

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 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, 1999. The Company has not determined the impact of SFAS No. 133, but
management does not believe it will be material.

The EITF reached a consensus in May 1998 on Issue 98-9, "Accounting for
Contingent Rents in Interim Financial Periods," which required a lessor to
defer recognition of contingent rental income in interim periods until the
specified target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. In
November 1998, EITF 98-9 was rescinded; however, the impact of the accounting
principles outlined in EITF 98-9 must continue to be disclosed in quarterly
financial statements. The Company's accounting policy is to recognize rental
income based on an estimate of full-year rental income and disclose in the
footnotes to the financial statements the portion of rental income that is
contingent.

2. 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 the Distribution, the Company's 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 and $111 million in 1998
and 1997, respectively. 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 $69 million and 11.9
million shares of common stock that were elected in the Special Dividend were
paid and/or issued on February 10, 1999.

Interest cost capitalized in connection with the Company's development and
construction activities totaled $4 million in 1998, $1 million in 1997 and $3
million in 1996.

In 1997, the Company, through an agreement with the ground lessor of one of
its properties terminated its ground lease and recorded a $15 million loss on
the write-off of its investment, including certain transaction costs, which has
been included in net gains (losses) on property transactions in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In 1996, the Company recorded a $4 million charge to write down an
undeveloped land parcel to its net realizable value based on its expected sales
value.

(1) During 1998, all or substantially all of the interests in the previously
unconsolidated hotel partnerships were consolidated or contributed to the
Non-Controlled Subsidiaries (defined herein) as a result of the REIT
Conversion and the Partnership Mergers.

In connection with the REIT Conversion, Rockledge Hotel Properties, Inc. 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 the Operating Partnership could jeopardize the Company's status as a
REIT. These assets primarily consist of

30
<PAGE>

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

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. As a result, as
of December 31, 1998, the Company did not control the Non-Controlled
Subsidiaries. The Non-Controlled Subsidiaries own three full-service hotels and
interests in partnerships that own an additional two full-service hotels and
220 limited-service hotels.

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 12 for
discussion.)

In 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding interests in Chesapeake
Hotel Limited Partnership ("CHLP") that owns six hotels and acquired
controlling interests in four affiliated partnerships for approximately $550
million, including the assumption of approximately $410 million of debt. In
early 1998, the Company obtained a controlling interest in the partnership that
owns the 1,671-room Atlanta Marriott Marquis for approximately $239 million,
including the assumption of $164 million of mortgage debt.

Receivables from affiliates are reported net of reserves of $7 million at
December 31, 1998 and $144 million at January 2, 1998. Net amounts funded by
the Company totaled $10 million in 1997, and repayments were $14 million in
1998 and $2 million in 1997. There were no fundings in 1998 and 1996.

The detail above excludes $317 million of debt relating to the discontinued
senior living business in 1997.

On July 10, 1997, HMH Properties, Inc. ("Properties," an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Host Marriott) and HMC Acquisitions Properties, Inc.
("Acquisitions", an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Host Marriott)
completed consent solicitations (the "1997 Consent Solicitations") with holders
of their senior notes ($600 million of 9 1/2% senior notes due 2005 and $350
million of 9% senior notes due 2007) to amend

32
<PAGE>

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

certain provisions of their senior indentures. The 1997 Consent Solicitations
facilitated the merger of Acquisitions with and into Properties. The amendments
to the indentures also increased the ability of Properties to acquire, through
certain subsidiaries, additional properties subject to non-recourse
indebtedness and controlling interests in corporations, partnerships and other
entities holding attractive properties and increased the threshold required to
permit Properties to make distributions to affiliates.

Concurrent with the 1997 Consent Solicitations and the Properties and
Acquisitions merger, Properties issued an aggregate of $600 million of 8 7/8%
senior notes at par with a maturity of July 2007. Properties received net
proceeds of approximately $570 million, net of the costs of the 1997 Consent
Solicitations and the offering.

In conjunction with the REIT Conversion, Properties was merged with the
Operating Partnership and all of the debt of Host Marriott and Properties was
assumed by the Operating Partnership.

During 1997, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, HMC Capital
Resources Corporation ("Resources"), entered into a credit facility (the "Old
Credit Facility") with a group of commercial banks under which it could borrow
up to $500 million for the acquisition of lodging real estate and for the
Company's working capital purposes. During August 1998, the Old Credit Facility
was terminated.

The Company also purchased 100% of the outstanding bonds secured by a first
mortgage on the San Francisco Marriott in 1997. The Company purchased the bonds
for $219 million, an $11 million discount to the face value of $230 million. In
connection with the redemption and defeasance of the bonds, the Company
recognized an extraordinary gain of $5 million, which represents the $11
million discount less the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, net
of taxes. In 1997, the Company also incurred approximately $418 million of
mortgage debt in conjunction with the acquisition of 11 hotels.

In connection with the acquisition of the outstanding common stock of Forum
Group, Inc. (the "Forum Group") in June 1997, the Company assumed debt of
approximately $270 million. In 1997, an additional $33 million of debt
financing was provided by Marriott International. The Company also assumed
approximately $15 million of debt in conjunction with the acquisition of the
Leisure Park retirement community in 1997. As a result of the Distribution, the
debt related to the Forum Group and Leisure Park retirement community is
included in net investments of discontinued operations for 1997 (Note 2). The
Company continues to provide a guarantee on the Leisure Park debt.

In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company repaid the $109 million mortgage
on the Philadelphia Marriott. In the first quarter of 1997, the Company
obtained $90 million in first mortgage financing from two insurance companies
secured by the Philadelphia Marriott. The mortgage bears interest at a fixed
rate of 8.49% and matures in April 2009.

In December 1997, the Company successfully completed the refinancing of the
MHP (defined herein) mortgage debt for approximately $152 million. The new
mortgage bears interest at 7.48% and matures in January 2008. In connection
with the refinancing, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of $2
million which represents payment of a prepayment penalty and the write-off of
unamortized deferred financing fees, net of taxes.

On April 20, 1998, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed a shelf
registration on Form S-3 (the "Shelf Registration") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the issuance of up to $2.5 billion in securities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

On August 5, 1998, the Company (through Properties) utilized the Shelf
Registration to issue 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 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 $21 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 (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, Properties 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.

In conjunction with the issuance of the New Senior Notes, Properties entered
into a $1.25 billion credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") with a group
of commercial banks. The New Credit Facility has an initial three-year term
with two one-year extension options. Borrowings under the New Credit Facility
bear interest currently at the Eurodollar rate plus 1.75% (7.5% at December 31,
1998). The interest rate and commitment fee on the unused portion of the New
Credit Facility fluctuate based on certain financial ratios. The New Senior
Notes and the New Credit Facility were assumed by the Operating Partnership in
connection with the REIT Conversion. As of December 31, 1998, $350 million was
outstanding under the New Credit Facility.

The New Credit Facility and the indenture under which the New Senior Notes
were issued contain covenants restricting the ability of Properties 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 equityholders of Properties, the Company, and the Operating
Partnership. The New 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.
In connection with the REIT Conversion, Properties was merged with, and into,
the Operating Partnership in December 1998.

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. In February 1999, the Company issued $300 million of 8
3/8% Series D notes due in 2006. The debt was used to refinance, or purchase,
approximately $299 million of debt acquired in the Partnership Mergers, and
approximately $40 million of other mortgage debt.

In December 1998, the Company became party to eight interest rate swap
agreements in connection with the Blackstone Acquisition discussed in Note 12.
The notional amount of the agreements is approximately $365 million, with
expiration dates between August 2000 and August 2002. The Company receives
interest based on one month LIBOR (5.06% at December 31, 1998) and pays
interest at fixed rates ranging from 5.72% to 6.60%. The interest rate swap
agreements allow the Company to effectively eliminate the variability of the
interest rates on certain secured debt. 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. In 1997, the Company was
party to two additional interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate
notional amount of $400 million which expired in May 1997. The Company realized
a net reduction of interest expense of $1 million in 1997 and $6 million in
1996 related to interest rate swap agreements. The reduction in interest
expense in 1998 was not material as the Company did not assume the agreements
until December 30.

1996. Deferred financing costs, which are included in other assets, amounted to
$98 million and $96 million, net of accumulated amortization, as of December
31, 1998 and January 2, 1998, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing
costs totaled $10 million, $7 million and $5 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

6. Company-obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Securities of
a Subsidiary Trust Holding Company Substantially All of Whose Assets are the
Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2026

In December 1996, Host Marriott Financial Trust (the "Issuer"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary trust of the Company, 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, which is its sole asset. Separate financial
statements of the Issuer are not presented because of the Company's guarantee
described above; the Company's management has concluded that such financial
statements are not material to investors as the Issuer is wholly-owned and
essentially has no independent operations.

Each of the Convertible Preferred Securities is convertible at the option of
the holder into shares of Company common stock at the rate of 3.2537 shares per
Convertible Preferred Security (equivalent to a conversion price of $15.367 per
share of Company common stock). The Debentures are convertible at the option of
the holders into shares of Host Marriott common stock at a conversion rate of
3.2537 shares for each $50 in principal amount of Debentures. The Issuer will
only convert Debentures pursuant to a notice of conversion

35

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

by a holder of Convertible Preferred Securities. During 1998, 1997 and 1996, 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.

In connection with consummation of the REIT Conversion, the Operating
Partnership assumed primary liability for repayment of the convertible
debentures of the Company underlying the Convertible Preferred Securities. Upon
conversion by a Convertible Preferred Securities holder, the Company will issue
shares of Company common stock, which will be delivered to such holder. Upon
the issuance of such shares by the Company, the Operating Partnership will
issue to the Company a number of OP Units equal to the number of shares of
Company common stock issued in exchange for the Debentures.

7. Shareholders' Equity

Seven hundered fifty million shares of common stock, with a par value of
$0.01 per share, are authorized, of which 225.6 million and 203.8 million were
outstanding as of December 31, 1998 and January 2, 1998, respectively. Fifty
million shares of no par value preferred stock are authorized with none
outstanding.

In conjunction with the Merger, the Blackstone Acquisition and the
Partnership Mergers (Note 12), the Operating Partnership issued approximately
64.5 million OP Units which are convertible into cash (or at Host Marriott's
option shares of Host Marriott common stock). These OP Units are restricted
from converting until July 1999, October 1999 and January 2000 when 23.9
million, 11.9 million and 28.8 million units, respectively, are eligible for
conversion.

The Company issued 11.9 million shares of common stock as part of the
Special Dividend (Note 2) and 8.5 million shares of common stock in exchange
for 8.5 million OP Units issued to certain other limited partners in connection
with the Partnership Mergers (Note 12). Also, as part of the REIT Conversion,
the Company changed its par value from $1 to $0.01 per share. The change in par
value did not affect the number of shares outstanding.

On March 27, 1996, the Company completed the issuance of 31.6 million shares
of common stock for net proceeds of nearly $400 million.

In connection with a class action settlement, the Company issued warrants to
purchase up to 7.7 million shares of the Company's common stock at $8.00 per
share through October 8, 1996 and $10.00 per share thereafter. During 1996, 6.8
million warrants were exercised at $8.00 per share and an equivalent number of

36
<PAGE>

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

shares of Company common stock were issued. During 1997 and 1998, 60,000 and
98,000 warrants were exercised at $10.00 per share. On October 8, 1998, the
remaining warrants expired.

In February 1989, the Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan
under which a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right was distributed
for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock. Each right entitled
the holder to buy 1/1,000th of a share of a newly issued series of junior
participating preferred stock of the Company at an exercise price of $150 per
share. The rights were exercisable 10 days after a person or group acquired
beneficial ownership of at least 20%, or began a tender or exchange offer for
at least 30%, of the Company's common stock. Shares owned by a person or group
on February 3, 1989 and held continuously thereafter were exempt for purposes
of determining beneficial ownership under the rights plan. The rights were non-
voting and expired on February 2, 1999, unless exercised or previously redeemed
by the Company for $.01 each. If the Company was involved in a merger or
certain other business combinations not approved by the Board of Directors,
each right entitles its holder, other than the acquiring person or group, to
purchase common stock of either the Company or the acquiror having a value of
twice the exercise price of the right.

8. Income Taxes

In December 1998, the Company restructured itself to enable the Company 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 distributes at least 95% of its taxable income to its
shareholders 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.
Management believes that the Company was organized and will operate so as to
qualify as a REIT as of January 1, 1999 (including distribution of at least 95%
of its REIT taxable income to shareholders in 1999 and subsequent years).
Management expects that the Company will pay taxes on "built-in gains" on only
certain of its assets. Based on these considerations, management does not
believe that the Company will be liable for income taxes at the federal level
or in most of the states in which it operates in future years, and the Company
eliminated $106 million of its net existing deferred tax liabilities as of
December 31, 1998. The Company does not expect to provide for any material
deferred income taxes in future periods except in certain states and foreign
countries. In connection with the Distribution and formation of the Non-
Controlled Subsidiaries, the Company reduced deferred income tax liabilities by
$102 million.

In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other
things, the Company must have distributed all of the accumulated earnings and
profits ("E&P") of Host Marriott Corporation to its stockholders in one or more
taxable dividends prior to the end of the first full taxable year for which the
REIT election of the Company is effective, which currently is expected to be
the taxable year commencing January 1, 1999.

37
<PAGE>

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

In an effort to help accomplish the requisite distributions of the
accumulated E&P, Host Marriott made an initial E&P distribution consisting of
approximately 20.4 million shares of Crestline valued at $297 million, $69
million in cash, and approximately 11.9 million shares of Host Marriott stock
valued at $143 million.

The actual amount of the initial E&P distribution was based, in part, upon
the estimated amount of accumulated E&P of Host Marriott as of the last day of
its taxable year. To the extent that the initial E&P distribution was not
sufficient to eliminate Host Marriott's accumulated E&P, Host Marriott will
make one or more additional taxable distributions to its stockholders (in the
form of cash or securities) prior to the last day of Host Marriott's first full
taxable year as a REIT.

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.

Total deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 1998 and January
2, 1998 were as follows:

At December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $32 million of
alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards available which do not expire.

Through 1997, the Company settled with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
substantially all issues for tax years through 1993. The Company expects to
resolve any remaining issues with no material impact on the consolidated
financial statements. The Company made net payments to the IRS of approximately
$27 million, $10 million and $45 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
related to these settlements. Certain adjustments totaling approximately $2
million in 1996 were made to the tax provision related to those settlements.

Crestline and the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement (the "Tax
Sharing Agreement") which defines each party's rights and obligations with
respect to deficiencies and refunds of federal, state and other income or
franchise taxes relating to Crestline's business for taxable years prior to the
Distribution and with respect to certain tax attributes of Crestline after the
Distribution. The Company is responsible for filing consolidated returns and
paying taxes for periods through the date of the Distribution, and Crestline is
responsible for filing its returns and paying taxes for subsequent periods.

Cash paid for income taxes, including IRS settlements, net of refunds
received, was $83 million in 1998, $56 million in 1997 and $40 million in 1996.

9. Leases

As of January 1, 1999, the Company leases substantially all of its hotels to
subsidiaries of Crestline. Additionally, the Company also leases certain
property and equipment under non-cancellable operating and capital leases.

Hotel Leases. Due to current federal income tax law restrictions on a REIT's
ability to derive revenues directly from the operation of a hotel, the Company
leases its hotels (the "Leases") to one or more lessees (the "Lessees").

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 Crestline member of the Lessee has full control
over the management of the business of the Lessee, subject to blocking rights
by Marriott International, 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 any 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

Crestline and certain of its subsidiaries entered into limited guarantees of
the Lease obligations of each Lessee. For each of four identified "pools" of
hotels (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"), 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.

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.

40
<PAGE>

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

In the event that Crestline's obligation under a guaranty is reduced to
zero, the applicable Pool Parent can elect to terminate its guaranty and the
pooling agreement for that pool by giving notice to the Operating Partnership.
In that event, subject to certain conditions, the Pool Parent's guaranty will
terminate six months after the effective date of such notice, subject to
reinstatement in certain limited circumstances.

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
termination of the Lease. The Lessee can return the working capital in
satisfaction of the note. As of December 31, 1998, the note receivable from
Crestline for working capital was $95 million.

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 fair market value of
the Lessee's leasehold interest in the remaining term of the Lease using a
discount rate of 12%. 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.

In the event that changes in the Federal income tax laws allow the Company,
or subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company, to directly operate the hotels
without jeopardizing the Company's status as a REIT, the Company will have the
right to terminate all, but not less than all, of the full-service and HPT
hotel Leases in return for paying the Lessees the fair market value of the
remaining terms of the full-service hotel Leases, valued in the same manner as
discussed above. The payment is payable in cash or, subject to certain
conditions, shares of the Company's common stock, at the election of the
Company. The rights of each Lessee will be expressly subordinated to qualifying
mortgage debt and any refinancing thereof.

The Company sold and leased back 37 of its Courtyard properties in 1995 and
an additional 16 Courtyard properties in 1996 to Hospitality Properties Trust
("HPT"). Additionally, in 1996, the Company sold and leased back 18 of its
Residence Inns to 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 CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

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:

</TABLE>

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 $103 million and $915 million,
respectively, payable to the Company under non-cancellable subleases.

The aggregate minimum rental payments to be received by the Operating
Partnership under the hotel leases are $774 million in 1999 and will be
adjusted in future periods based on changes in the Consumer Price Index and
Employment Cost Index.

In conjunction with the refinancing of the mortgage of the New York Marriott
Marquis, the Company also renegotiated the terms of the ground lease. 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 existing deferred ground rent obligation of $116 million.
The Company has the right to purchase the land under certain circumstances.

The Company remains contingently liable at December 31, 1998 on certain
leases relating to divested non-lodging properties. Such contingent liabilities
aggregated $93 million at December 31, 1998. However, management considers the
likelihood of any substantial funding related to these leases to be remote.

Rent expense consists of:

10. Employee Stock Plans

At December 31, 1998, the Company maintained two stock-based compensation
plans, including the comprehensive stock plan (the "Comprehensive Plan"),
whereby the Company may award to participating employees (i) options to
purchase the Company's common stock, (ii) deferred shares of the Company's
common stock and (iii) restricted shares of the Company'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, 1998 was 26.6 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, the Company 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 the two 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 has 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. As of December 31, 1998, the
Company valued this right at approximately $9 million, which is included in
other assets.

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 1997 and 1996, respectively: risk-free interest rate of 6.2% and
6.6%, respectively, volatility of 35% and 36%, respectively, expected lives of
12 years and no dividend yield. The weighted average fair value per option
granted during the year was $13.13 in 1997 and $8.68 in 1996. No options were
granted in 1998. Pro forma compensation cost for 1998, 1997 and 1996 would have
reduced (increased) net income (loss) by approximately $524,000, $330,000 and
($150,000), respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share on a pro forma
basis were not impacted by the pro forma compensation cost in 1998, 1997 and
1996.

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

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 1998, 1997 and 1996, 12,000, 14,000 and 13,000 shares were
granted, respectively, under this plan. The compensation cost that has been
charged against income for deferred stock was not material in 1998, 1997 and
1996. The weighted average fair value per share granted during each year was
$19.21 in 1998, $15.81 in 1997 and $11.81 in 1996.

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 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 1998, 1997 and 1996,
2,900, 198,000 and 2,511,000 shares of additional restricted stock plan shares
were granted to certain key employees under these terms and conditions.
Approximately 16,842 and 161,000 shares were forfeited in 1998 and 1996,
respectively. There were no shares forfeited in 1997. The Company recorded
compensation expense of

44

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

$11 million, $13 million and $11 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
related to these awards. The weighted average fair value per share granted
during each year was $18.13 in 1998, $16.88 in 1997 and $14.01 in 1996. Under
these awards 925,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 1998. The Board
has voted to approve 3,199,000 shares for award in 1999 under similar terms.

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 1998, the Company recognized compensation
expense of $4.8 million 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.

11. 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 the 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 1996
through 1998.

12. Acquisitions and Dispositions

The Company acquired or gained controlling interest in 36 hotels with 15,166
rooms in 1998, 18 hotels with 9,128 rooms in 1997 and 24 hotels with 11,385
rooms in 1996. The Company has also disposed of a number of hotels, including
two hotels since 1997 and one subsequent to year-end 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 4). Each of these transactions is
discussed separately below.

1998 Acquisitions. In January 1998, the Company acquired an additional
interest in Atlanta Marriott Marquis II Limited Partnership, which owns an
interest in the 1,671-room Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel, for $239 million,
including the assumption of $164 million of mortgage debt. The Company
previously owned a 1.3% general and limited partnership interest. In March
1998, the Company acquired a controlling interest in a partnership that owns
three hotels: the 359-room Albany Marriott, the 350-room San Diego Marriott
Mission Valley and the 320-room Minneapolis Marriott Southwest for
approximately $50 million. In the second quarter of 1998, the Company acquired
the partnership that owns the 289-room Park Ridge Marriott in Park Ridge, New
Jersey for $24 million. The Company previously owned a 1% managing general
partner interest and a note receivable interest in such partnership. In
addition, the Company acquired the 281-room Ritz-Carlton, Phoenix for $75
million, the 397-room Ritz-Carlton in Tysons Corner, Virginia for $96 million
and the 487-room Torrance Marriott near Los Angeles, California for $52
million. In the third quarter of 1998, the Company acquired the 308-room Ritz-
Carlton, Dearborn for $65 million, the 336-room Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco for
$161 million and the 404-room Memphis Crowne Plaza (which was converted to the
Marriott brand upon acquisition) for $16 million.

Blackstone Acquisition. 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, from the Blackstone Entities, which the Company transferred to
Crestline in connection with the Distribution. The Operating Partnership issued
approximately 43.9 million OP Units, which OP Units are redeemable for cash (or
at Host Marriott's option, shares of common stock of Host Marriott) 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.
The actual number of OP Units to be issued to the Blackstone Entities will
fluctuate based upon certain adjustments to be determined on March 31, 1999.
Based on current stock prices, the Operating Partnership will be required to
issue to the Blackstone Entities approximately 3.7 million additional units in
April 1999. The consideration received by the Blackstone Entities was
determined through negotiations between the Company and Blackstone and was not
based upon appraisals of the assets. Each OP Unit is exchangeable for one share
of the Company's common stock (or its cash equivalent, at the Company's
election). After all adjustments, the Blackstone Entities will own
approximately 16.4% of the outstanding OP Units of the Operating Partnership.

At the closing of the Blackstone Acquisition, the hotels were leased to
subsidiaries of Crestline but will continue to be managed on behalf of the
Lessees under their existing management agreements.

Partnership Mergers. 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 million OP Units to partners for their
interests valued at approximately $333 million. The eight public partnerships
that merged are: the Atlanta Marriott Marquis II, Limited Partnership ("Atlanta
Marquis"); Desert Springs Marriott Limited Partnership ("Desert Springs");
Hanover Marriott Limited Partnership ("Hanover"); Marriott Diversified American
Hotels, Limited Partnership ("MDAH"); Marriott Hotel Properties, Limited
Partnership ("MHP"); Marriott Hotel Properties II, Limited Partnership
("MHP2"); Mutual Benefit Chicago Marriott Suite Hotel Partners, Limited
Partnership ("Chicago Suites") and Potomac Hotel Limited Partnership ("PHLP")
(collectively, the "Public Partnerships"). The four private partnerships in
which all or controlling interests also were acquired include privately-held
ownership interests in the Atlanta Marriott Marquis; The Ritz-Carlton, Naples;
The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead; the New York Marriott Marquis and the Hartford
Marriott (collectively, the "Private Partnerships"). The Company had previously
not consolidated three of the 12 partnerships. Those three partnerships are: 1)
MDAH, the owner of six full-service Marriott hotels; 2) PHLP, the owner of
eight Marriott hotels (two of which were previously consolidated) and 3)
Chicago Suites, the owner of the 256-room Marriott O'Hare Suites. As a result
of these transactions, the Company has increased its ownership of most of the
28 properties to 100% while consolidating 13 additional hotels (4,445 rooms).

1998 Dispositions. In 1998, the Company sold the 662-room New York Marriott
East Side for approximately $191 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of
approximately $40 million. The Company also sold the 191-room Napa Valley
Marriott for approximately $21 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of
approximately $10 million.

1999 Dispositions. In February 1999, the Company sold the 479-room
Minneapolis/Bloomington Marriott for approximately $35 million and recorded a
pre-tax gain of approximately $13 million.

1997 Acquisitions. In 1997, the Company acquired eight full-service hotels
totaling 3,600 rooms for approximately $145 million. In addition, the Company
acquired controlling interests in nine full-service hotels totaling 5,024 rooms
for approximately $621 million, including the assumption of approximately $418
million

of debt. The Company also completed the acquisition of the 504-room New York
Marriott Financial Center, after acquiring the mortgage on the hotel for $101
million in late 1996.

Also in 1997, the Company acquired the outstanding common stock of the Forum
Group from Marriott Senior Living Services. The Company purchased the Forum
Group portfolio of 29 senior living communities for approximately $460 million,
including approximately $270 million in debt. The Company also acquired 49% of
the remaining 50% interest in the partnership which owned the 418-unit Leisure
Park retirement community for approximately $23 million, including the
assumption of approximately $15 million of debt. The Company contributed these
assets in conjunction with the Distribution of Crestline.

1996 Acquisitions. In 1996, the Company acquired six full-service hotels
totaling 1,964 rooms for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $189
million. In addition, the Company acquired controlling interests in 17 full-
service hotels totaling 8,917 rooms for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $1.1 billion, including the assumption of approximately $696
million of debt. The Company also purchased the first mortgage of the 504-room
New York Marriott Financial Center for approximately $101 million.

In the first and second quarters of 1996, the Company completed the sale and
leaseback of 16 of its Courtyard properties and 18 of its Residence Inn
properties for $349 million. The Company received net proceeds of approximately
$314 million and will receive approximately $35 million upon expiration of the
leases. A deferred gain of $45 million on the sale/leaseback transactions is
being amortized over the initial term of the leases.

The Company's summarized, unaudited consolidated pro forma results of
operations, assuming the above transactions occurred on January 3, 1997, are as

Short-term marketable securities and receivable Convertible Preferred
Securities are valued based on quoted market prices. Receivables from
affiliates, notes and other financial assets are valued based on the expected
future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates. Valuations for secured
debt are determined based on the expected future payments discounted at risk-
adjusted rates. The fair values of the New Credit Facility and other notes are
estimated to be equal to their carrying value. Senior notes are valued based on
quoted market prices.

The fair value of the liability related to the interest rate swap agreements
assumed in the Blackstone Acquisition was $14 million. The fair value is based
on the estimated amount the Company would pay or receive to terminate the swap
agreements. The aggregate notional amount of the agreements was $365 million at
December 31, 1998 and $100 million at January 2, 1998.

14. 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 under agreements with initial terms of 15 to
20 years and which are subject to renewal at the option of Marriott
International for up to an additional 16 to 30 years (see Note 15); (ii) 13 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 provided the Company with $92 million of financing at an average
rate of 9% in 1997 related to the Company's discontinued senior living
operations; (iv) the Company acquired 49% of Marriott International's 50%
interest in the Leisure Park retirement community in 1997 for $23 million,
including approximately $15 million of assumed debt; (v) Marriott International
guarantees the Company's performance in connection with certain loans and other
obligations ($70 million at December 31, 1998); (vi) the Company borrowed and
repaid $109 million of first mortgage financing for construction of the
Philadelphia Marriott (see Note 5); (vii) 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 (viii) Marriott International provides
certain limited administrative services.

In 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company paid to Marriott International $196
million, $162 million and $101 million, respectively, in hotel management fees;
$4 million, $13 million and $18 million, respectively, in interest and
commitment fees under the debt financing and line of credit provided by
Marriott International, and $3 million, $3 million and $4 million,
respectively, for limited administrative services. The Company also paid
Marriott International $9 million, $4 million and $2 million, respectively, of
franchise fees in 1998, 1997 and 1996. In connection with the discontinued
senior living communities' business, the Company paid Marriott International
$13 million and $6 million in management fees during 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

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.

15. 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

48
<PAGE>

HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

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.

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 Lessees are guaranteed to a limited extent by Crestline. The
Company remains 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).

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 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.

Crestline, as the Company's Lessee, is 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, Crestline will be required to establish escrow accounts for such
purposes under terms outlined in the Agreements.

Crestline assumed franchise agreements with Marriott International for 10
hotels. Pursuant to these franchise agreements, Crestline 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.

Crestline assumed management agreements with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company,
LLC ("Ritz-Carlton"), an affiliate of Marriott International, to manage ten 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.

Crestline 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.

16. Relationship with Crestline Capital Corporation

The Company and Crestline have entered into various agreements in connection
with the Distribution as discussed in Note 2 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; (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 agrees to provide advice on the operation of the hotels and
review financial results, projections, loan documents and hotel management
agreements. Crestline also agrees to consult on market conditions and
competition, as well as monitor and negotiate with governmental agencies,
insurance companies and contractors. Crestline will be paid a fee not to exceed
$4.5 million for each calendar year for its consulting services under the Asset
Management Agreements, which includes $0.25 million related to the Non-
Controlled Subsidiaries. The Asset Management Agreements each have terms of two
years with an automatic one year renewal, unless earlier terminated by either
party in accordance with the terms thereof.

Non-Competition Agreement

Crestline and the Company entered into a non-competition agreement that
limits the respective parties' future business opportunities. Pursuant to this
non-competition agreement, Crestline agrees, 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 will 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 agrees not to participate in the
business of leasing, operating or franchising limited service or full service
properties, subject to certain exceptions.

1998 Employee Benefits and Other Employment Matters Allocation Agreement

As part of the REIT Conversion, the Company, the Operating Partnership and
Crestline entered into the 1998 Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement relating
to various compensation, benefits and labor matters. Under the agreement, the
Operating Partnership and Crestline each assumed certain liabilities related to
covered benefits and labor matters arising prior to the effective date of the
Distribution and relating to employees of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

each organization, respectively, after the Distribution. The agreements also
govern the treatment of awards under the Comprehensive Plan and requires the
adoption of such a plan by Crestline and the Operating Partnership.

17. Litigation

The Company is and from time-to-time will be the subject of, or involved in,
judicial proceedings. Management believes that any liability or loss resulting
from such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company reached a settlement in a lawsuit
against Trinity Industries and others for claims related to construction of the
New York Marriott Marquis. In settlement of the lawsuit, the Company and its
affiliate received a cash settlement of approximately $70 million, the majority
of which was considered a recovery of construction costs and $10 million of
which has been recorded as other revenues in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

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 nearly 465 rooms, 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.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segment based primarily on
operating profit before depreciation, corporate expenses, and interest expense.
The Company's income taxes are included in the consolidated Federal income tax
return of the Company and its affiliates and is allocated based upon the
relative contribution to the Company's consolidated taxable income/loss and
changes in temporary differences. The allocation of taxes is not evaluated at
the segment level and, therefore, the Company does not believe the information
is material to the consolidated financial statements.

The quarterly data in the table above has been restated to reflect the
Company's senior living business as a discontinued operation and the impact of
the 1998 stock portion of the Special Dividend on earnings per share.

The first three quarters consist of 12 weeks each in both 1998 and 1997, and
the fourth quarter includes 16 weeks. The sum of the basic and diluted earnings
(loss) per common share for the four quarters in 1998 and 1997 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.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION

In December 1998 Host Marriott completed a series of transactions intended
to enable Host Marriott (referred to as Host REIT herein) to qualify as a REIT
under the applicable Federal income tax regulations. A component of those
transactions was the distribution of the Company's senior living business to
the Company's shareholders. As such, the consolidated financial statements for
all periods have been restated to present the operations of Host Marriott's
senior living business distributed to Crestline as a discontinued operation.

The pro forma financial information for Host REIT reflects various
transactions effected as part of or contemporaneously with the REIT
conversion, including (i) the distribution of Crestline common stock to the
shareholders of Host Marriott, (ii) certain acquisitions and dispositions
consummated by Host Marriott, its subsidiaries or the operating partnership
and certain financing transactions and (iii) certain other transactions
relating to the REIT conversion.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements of Host REIT reflect the
transactions described below for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 as if
such transactions had been completed at the beginning of the fiscal year
presented.

The unaudited pro forma statement of operations presented below includes
only income from continuing operations and therefore excludes the operations
of the discontinued senior living business.

Pro forma adjustments under the caption "Acquisitions, dispositions and
other activities" represent the transactions shown below:

. February 1999 Series D Senior Notes and the application of proceeds
therefrom

. Blackstone Acquisition

. August 1998 issuance of New Senior Notes and retirement of Old Senior
Notes

. December 1998 issuance of Series C Senior Notes and the application of
proceeds therefrom refinancing certain debt

. 1999 Disposition of one full service hotel

. 1998 acquisition of, or purchase of controlling interests in, eleven
full service hotels

. 1998 purchase of minority interests in two full service hotels

. 1998 disposition of two full service hotels

All of the above transactions except for the issuance of the Series D
Senior Notes and the 1999 disposition of one full service hotel are already
reflected in the Host Marriott consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
1998 and, therefore, no pro forma adjustments for these transactions were
necessary on the unaudited pro forma balance sheet.

Pro forma adjustments under the caption "REIT Conversion Activities"
include the following transactions comprising a portion of the REIT conversion
(all of which are reflected in the historical balance sheet as of December 31,
1998):

. 1998 contribution of assets and liabilities contributed to the Non-
Controlled Subsidiaries, including the sale of certain FF&E to the Non-
Controlled Subsidiaries

. 1998 Public Partnership Mergers

. 1998 acquisition of minority interests in four private partnerships in
exchange for OP Units

. 1998 lease of certain hotel properties to Crestline and conversion of
revenues and certain operating expenses to rental income

54
<PAGE>

. 1998 adjustment to remove deferred taxes and the impact on the tax
provision resulting from the change in tax status related to the REIT
conversion

. 1998 special dividend to Host REIT shareholders of either .087 shares of
Host REIT stock or $1.00 in cash per share of common stock, at the
election of each shareholder ("Special Dividend")

. 1998 sale of an investment in a subsidiary to Crestline

The unaudited pro forma financial statements do not purport to represent
what the results of operations of Host REIT would actually have been if these
transactions had in fact occurred on such date or at the beginning of such
period, or to project the results of operations for any future period.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements are based upon available
information and upon certain assumptions, as set forth in the notes to the
unaudited pro forma financial statements, that the operating partnership
believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma
financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with
Host Marriott's consolidated financial statements included in this Form 8-K.

noted, total rent in the pro forma statements of operations is calculated based
on the historical gross sales of the property and the negotiated rental rates
and thresholds by property as if the leases were entered into on the first day
of fiscal year 1998. There are generally three sales categories utilized in the
rent calculation: rooms, food and beverage and other. For rooms and food and
beverage, there are three tiers of rent with two thresholds, while the other
category generally has two tiers of rent and one threshold. The percentage rent
thresholds are increased annually on the first day of each year after the
initial lease year based on a blended increase of the consumer price index
("CPI") and a wage and benefit index.

N Represents the adjustment to record minority interest expense related to
amendments to partnership agreements adjusted in connection with the REIT
conversion.

O Represents the adjustment to the income tax provision to reflect the REIT
conversion including the elimination of the $106 million tax benefit recorded

P Represents the adjustment to eliminate non-recurring expenses incurred in
connection with the REIT conversion. Management expects that the total
estimated non-recurring expenses to be incurred will be approximately $64
million.
