                            HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)




1.    Organization

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

      On December 15, 1998, shareholders of Host Marriott Corporation, ("Host
      Marriott"), a Delaware corporation and the predecessor to Host REIT,
      approved a plan to reorganize Host Marriott's business operations through
      the spin-off of Host Marriott's senior living business as part of
      Crestline and the contribution of Host Marriott's hotels and certain other
      assets and liabilities to a newly formed Delaware limited partnership,
      Host Marriott, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership" or "Host LP"). Host
      Marriott merged into HMC Merger Corporation, a newly formed Maryland
      corporation (renamed Host Marriott Corporation) which intends to qualify,
      effective January 1, 1999, as a REIT and is the sole general partner of
      the Operating Partnership. Host Marriott and its subsidiaries'
      contribution of its hotels and certain assets and liabilities to the
      Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries in exchange for units of
      partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units") was
      accounted for at Host Marriott's historical basis. As of March 24, 2000,
      Host REIT owned approximately 77% of the Operating Partnership.

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

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
      the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared without audit. Certain
      information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
      statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally
      accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. The Company
      believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
      presented not misleading. However, the unaudited condensed consolidated
      financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
      financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual
      report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

      In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
      consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to
      present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 24, 2000
      and December 31, 1999, and the results of operations and cash flows for
      the twelve weeks ended March 24, 2000 and March 26, 1999. Interim results
      are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year performance because of the
      impact of seasonal and short-term variations.

      Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year financial statements
      to conform to the new presentation.

      The Company's leases have remaining terms ranging from 2 to 10 years,
      subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain
      contingencies, as defined. Effective November 15, 1999, the leases with

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

                            HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

      Crestline were amended to give Crestline the right to renew each of these
      leases for up to four additional terms of seven years each at a fair
      rental value. The rent due under each lease is the greater of base rent or
      percentage rent, as defined. Percentage rent applicable to room, food and
      beverage and other types of hotel sales varies by lease and is calculated
      by multiplying fixed percentages by the total amounts of such revenues
      over specified threshold amounts. Both the minimum rent and the revenue
      thresholds used in computing percentage rents are subject to annual
      adjustments based on increases in the United States Consumer Price Index
      and the Labor Index, as defined.

      The Company recognizes percentage rent when all contingencies have been
      met, that is, when annual thresholds for percentage rent have been met or
      exceeded. Percentage rent received pursuant to the leases but not
      recognized, is included on the balance sheet as deferred rent. Contingent
      rental revenue of $123 million and $115 million, respectively, for the
      twelve weeks ended March 24, 2000 and March 26, 1999 have been deferred.

3.    Earnings Per Share

      Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income
      available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares
      of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by
      dividing net income available to common shareholders as adjusted for
      potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of shares
      of common stock outstanding plus other potentially dilutive securities.
      Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive stock
      plans and the Convertible Preferred Securities. Dilutive securities may
      also include those common and preferred OP Units issuable or outstanding
      that are held by minority partners which are assumed to be converted. No
      effect is shown for securities if they are anti-dilutive.

4.    Stock Repurchases

      In September 1999, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase, from
      time to time on the open market and/or in privately negotiated
      transactions, of up to 22 million of the outstanding shares of the
      Company's common stock, OP Units, or a corresponding amount (based on the
      appropriate conversion ratio) of the Company's Convertible Preferred
      Securities. Such repurchases will be made at management's discretion,
      subject to market conditions, and may be suspended at any time at the
      Company's discretion. During the twelve weeks ended March 24, 2000, the
      Company repurchased approximately 4.9 million common shares, 325,000 OP
      Units, and 435,000 shares of the Convertible Preferred Securities for a
      total investment of $62 million. Since inception of the repurchase program
      through May 1, 2000, the Company has spent, in the aggregate,
      approximately $150 million to repurchase 16.2 million equivalent shares.

5.    Dividends and Distributions Payable

      On March 23, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
      $0.21 per share of common stock and a corresponding distribution of $0.21
      per common OP Unit. The first quarter dividend and distribution were paid
      on April 14, 2000 to shareholders and unitholders of record on March 31,
      2000.

      On March 23, 2000, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.625 per
      share of Preferred Stock, which was paid on April 14, 2000 to shareholders
      of record on March 31, 2000.

6.    Development

      In February 2000, construction of the 717-room Tampa Waterside Marriott
      adjacent to the convention center in downtown Tampa, Florida was completed
      at a total development cost of approximately $104 million, not including a
      $16 million tax subsidy provided by the City of Tampa.

7.    Debt Issuances and Refinancing

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

8.    Geographic Information

      As of March 24, 2000, the Company's foreign operations consisted of four
      hotel properties located in Canada. There were no intercompany sales
      between the properties and the Company. The following table presents
      revenues for each of the geographical areas in which the Company owns
      hotels (in millions):

9.    Other Comprehensive Income

      The Company's other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains and
      losses on foreign currency translation adjustments and the right to
      receive cash from Host Marriott Services Corporation subsequent to the
      exercise of the options held by certain former and current employees of
      Marriott International, pursuant to the distribution agreement between the
      Company and Host Marriott Services Corporation. For the twelve weeks ended
      March 24, 2000 and March 26, 1999, the comprehensive loss totaled $58
      million and $45 million, respectively. As of March 24, 2000 and December
      31, 1999, the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income was $1
      million and $2 million, respectively.

10.   Summarized Lease Pool Financial Statements

      As discussed in Note 1, as of March 24, 2000 almost all the properties of
      the Company and its subsidiaries were leased to Crestline. In conjunction
      with these leases, Crestline and certain of its subsidiaries entered into
      limited guarantees of the lease obligations of each lessee. The
      full-service hotel leases are grouped into four lease pools, with
      Crestline's guarantee limited to the greater of 10% of the aggregate rent
      payable for the preceding year or 10% of the aggregate rent payable under
      all leases in the respective pool. Additionally, the lessee's obligation
      under each lease agreement is guaranteed by all other lessees in the
      respective lease pool. As a result, the Company believes that the
      operating results of each full-service lease pool may be material to the
      Company's financial statements. Financial information of certain pools
      related to the sublease agreements for limited service properties are not
      presented, as the Company believes they are not material to the Company's
      financial statements. Financial information of Crestline may be found in
      its quarterly and annual filings with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission. Further information regarding these leases and Crestline's
      limited guarantees may be found in the Company's annual report on Form
      10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. The results of
      operations and summarized balance sheet data of the lease pools in which
      the Company's hotels are organized are as follows (in millions):

11.   Subsequent Event

      In April 2000, the Company borrowed $40 million under the revolver portion
      of the bank credit facility. As a result, the available capacity under the
      line of credit was reduced to $860 million, and the total line remains
      $1.025 billion.

12.   Contingencies

     On March 16, 1998, limited partners in several limited partnerships filed a
     lawsuit, the Texas Multi-Partnership Lawsuit, naming the Company, Marriott
     International and others as defendants and claiming that they conspired to
     sell hotels to the partnerships for inflated prices, that they charged the
     partnerships excessive management fees to operate the partnerships' hotels
     and otherwise breached their fiduciary duties. The lawsuit involved the
     following partnerships: Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership,
     Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership, Marriott Residence Inn
     Limited Partnership, Marriott Residence Inn II Limited Partnership,
     Fairfield Inn by Marriott Limited Partnership, Desert Springs Marriott
     Limited Partnership and Atlanta Marriott Marquis Limited Partnership. Three
     other lawsuits, collectively, the Partnership Lawsuits, involving limited
     partners of some of the aforementioned partnerships had also been filed, at
     various dates beginning in June 1996, and include similar actions naming
     the Company, Marriott International and others as defendants.

                                   (Unaudited)

     The Company and Marriott International announced that we have executed a
     definitive settlement agreement to resolve the Texas Multi-Partnership
     Lawsuit and the Partnership Lawsuits. The understanding, which is still
     subject to numerous conditions, including court approval and various
     consents, has two principal features. First, the Company and Marriott
     International expect, through a joint venture to be formed between their
     affiliates, to acquire the equity interest of the limited partners in the
     two Courtyard partnerships for approximately $372 million. The Company's
     share of the acquisition costs of the Courtyard partnerships is expected to
     be approximately $82 million. Second, the Company and Marriott
     International will each pay approximately $31 million to the limited
     partners of the remaining partnerships in exchange for settlement of the
     litigation and a full release of claims. As a result of the proposed
     settlement, the Company recorded a non-recurring, pre-tax charge of $40
     million during the fourth quarter of 1999.

     The Company has also been named a defendant in other lawsuits involving
     various hotel partnerships. The lawsuits are ongoing, and although the
     ultimate resolution of lawsuits is not determinable, the Company does not
     believe the outcome will be material to the financial position, statement
     of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Results of Operations

Revenues. Our revenues primarily represent rental income from our leased hotels,
net gains on property transactions, interest income and equity in earnings of
affiliates. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, percentage
rental revenues of $123 million and $115 million for the twelve weeks ended
March 24, 2000 and March 26, 1999, respectively, were deferred on the balance
sheet in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"). Percentage rent will be recognized as
income during the year once specified hotel sales thresholds are achieved.

The table below represents hotel sales from which rental income is computed, in
order to facilitate an investor's understanding of the operation of our
properties.

Rental income increased $2 million, or 1%, to $173 million for the first quarter
of 2000 versus the first quarter of 1999, primarily driven by the growth in room
revenues generated per available room or REVPAR for comparable properties, and
partially offset by the sale of five properties in 1999. REVPAR increased 3.3%
to $122.38 for the first quarter of 2000 for comparable properties, which
consist of the 114 properties owned, directly or indirectly, by us for the same
period of time in each period covered, excluding two properties where
significant expansion at the hotels affected operations and five properties
where reported results were affected by a change in reporting period. On a
comparable basis, average room rates increased approximately 5%, while average
occupancy decreased 1 percentage point.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $6
million or 9% for the first quarter of 2000 versus the first quarter of 1999,
reflecting an increase in depreciable assets, which is primarily the result of
$361 million in capital expenditures during 1999, partially offset by net asset
disposals of approximately $174 million in connection with the sale of five
hotels during 1999.

Property-level Expenses. Property-level owner expenses primarily consist of
property taxes, insurance, and ground and equipment rent. These expenses
increased less than 2% to $59 million for the first quarter of 2000 versus first
quarter of 1999, reflecting, in part, the effect of the sale of five hotel
properties in 1999.

Minority Interest Benefit. For the twelve weeks ended March 24, 2000 and March
26, 1999, respectively, we recognized a minority interest benefit of $11 million
and $8 million, reflecting the minority owners' share in the net loss, which is
primarily the result of the deferral of contingent rental income of $123 million
and $115 million. The benefit will be reversed in subsequent quarters as we earn
the contingent rent.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased 3% to $96 million in the first
quarter of 2000, primarily due to repayments on the term loan portion of the
bank credit facility totaling $225 million during the second half of 1999.

Dividends on Convertible Preferred Securities. Amounts reflect the dividends
accrued during the first twelve weeks of fiscal year 2000 and 1999 on the
outstanding shares of 63/4% Convertible Preferred Securities. The $2 million
decrease to $7 million for the first quarter of 2000 is due to repurchases under
our stock repurchase program (see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements), which commenced during the fourth quarter of 1999, totaling 1.5
million shares of the Convertible Preferred Securities through March 24, 2000.

Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses increased $3 million to $10 million for
the first quarter of 2000, resulting primarily from an increase in compensation
expense related to employee stock plans.

Net Loss. Our net loss increased to $57 million for the first quarter of 2000
from $44 million for the first quarter of 1999.

Net Loss Available to Common Shareholders. The net loss available to common
shareholders was $58 million for the first quarter of 2000, an increase of $14
million over the first quarter of 1999. The net loss available to common
shareholders for the first quarter of 2000 reflects dividends of $5 million on
preferred stock, which was issued during the second half of 1999, and a $4
million gain, net of taxes, on the repurchase of 435,000 million shares of the
Convertible Preferred Securities during the first quarter of 2000.

Comparative FFO and EBITDA

We consider Comparative Funds From Operations ("Comparative FFO"), which
consists of Funds From Operations, as defined by the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts, plus contingent rent, as well as our consolidated
earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and
other non-cash items (including contingent rent) ("EBITDA") to be indicative
measures of our operating performance due to the significance of our long-lived
assets. Comparative FFO and EBITDA are also useful in measuring our ability to
service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. Furthermore,
management believes that Comparative FFO and EBITDA are

meaningful disclosures that will help shareholders and the investment community
to better understand our financial performance, including comparing our
performance to other real estate investment trusts. However, Comparative FFO and
EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to FFO and EBITDA amounts calculated
by other companies. This information should not be considered as an alternative
to net income, operating profit, cash from operations, or any other operating or
liquidity performance measure prescribed by generally accepted accounting
principles. Cash expenditures for various long-term assets, interest expense
(for EBITDA purposes only) and income taxes have been, and will be incurred
which are not reflected in the EBITDA and Comparative FFO presentations.

Comparative FFO available to common shareholders increased $1 million, or 1%, to
$92 million in the first quarter of 2000 over the first quarter of 1999. The
following is a reconciliation of the net loss to Comparative FFO (in millions):

We are the sole general partner in the Operating Partnership and as of March 24,
2000 held approximately 77% of the outstanding OP Units. The $27 million and $26
million deducted for the twelve weeks ended March 24, 2000 and March 26, 1999,
respectively, represent the Comparative FFO attributable to the interests in the
Operating Partnership held by those minority partners. OP Units owned by holders
other than us are redeemable at the option of the holder, generally commencing
one year after the issuance of their OP Units. Upon redemption of an OP Unit,
the holder would receive from the Operating Partnership cash in an amount equal
to the market value of one share of our common stock, or at our option, a share
of our common stock.

EBITDA increased $6 million, or 3%, to $218 million in the first quarter of
2000, reflecting primarily EBITDA growth from owned properties, partially offset
by EBITDA related to assets sold during 1999. Hotel EBITDA was $114 million in
both the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, which does not include deferred rental
income of $123 million and $115 million, respectively.

The following schedule presents our EBITDA as well as a reconciliation of EBITDA
to the net loss (in millions):

Distributions to minority holders of OP Units for the twelve weeks ended March
24, 2000 and March 26, 1999 were $13 million and $14 million, respectively.
These OP Units are convertible into cash or our common stock at our option. The
first quarter distributions were declared on March 23, 2000 and March 15, 1999,
respectively, and subsequently paid on April 14, 2000 and April 14, 1999,
respectively.

Our interest coverage, defined as EBITDA divided by cash interest expense, was
2.3 times and 2.2 times for the 2000 and 1999 first quarters, respectively. The
deficiency of earnings to fixed charges was $68 million for the first quarter of
2000 and $50 million for the first quarter of 1999, which is primarily due to
the deferral of contingent rental revenue of $123 million and $115 million for
the same periods, respectively.

Cash Flows and Financial Condition

We reported a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $151 million during the
twelve weeks ended March 24, 2000. Cash from operations was $68 million for the
first quarter of 2000 and $4 million for the first quarter of 1999. The $64
million increase in cash from operations primarily relates to changes in
operating accounts, specifically rent receivable. First quarter 1999 cash from
operations were affected by the addition of 36 properties as of December 30,
1998 and the timing of the receipt of cash payments as a result of our hotel
leases, which were effective beginning January 1, 1999 in connection with the
REIT Conversion.

Cash used in investing activities was $99 million and $42 million for the first
quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for
the first quarter includes capital expenditures and other investments of $99
million and $76 million for 2000 and 1999, respectively, mostly related to
renewals and replacements on existing properties and new development projects.

equipment balances include $163 million and $243 million for construction in
progress as of March 24, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The reduction
in construction in progress is due to the Tampa Waterside Marriott, which was
placed in service in February 2000. The current balance primarily relates to
properties in Orlando, Memphis, Naples and various other expansion and
development projects.

Cash used in financing activities was $120 million for the first quarter of 2000
and $114 million for the first quarter of 1999. Cash used in financing
activities includes $80 million in prepayment of debt, offset by a similar
amount of debt issuances, as well as repurchases under our stock buyback program
and the payment of dividends.

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

On March 23, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per
share of common stock, and a corresponding distribution of $0.21 per common OP
Unit, which was paid on April 14, 2000 to shareholders and unit holders of
record on March 31, 2000. In addition, the Board of Directors declared a
dividend of $0.625 per share of Preferred Stock, which was paid on April 14,
2000 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2000.

In September 1999, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase, from time to
time on the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions, of up to 22
million of the outstanding shares of our common stock, OP Units, or a
corresponding amount (based on the appropriate conversion ratio) of our
Convertible Preferred Securities. The repurchases have been financed in part
through cash from operations and the net proceeds from sales of assets, prior to
their reinvestment in real estate assets. Based on current market conditions, we
believe that, at our current stock price, the stock repurchase program reflects
a favorable return on investment for our shareholders. However, we will continue
to look at strategic acquisitions as well as evaluate our stock repurchase
program based on changes in market conditions and our stock price. During the
first quarter of 2000, we repurchased approximately 4.9 million common shares,
325,000 OP Units, and 435,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Securities, for a
total investment of $62 million. Since inception of the repurchase program
through May 1, 2000, repurchases under the program total 16.2 million common
shares or equivalent for a total investment of $150 million.

In April 2000, the resort property in Singer Island, Florida was converted to
the Hilton brand, representing our first property under this brand.

In April 2000, the Company borrowed $40 million under the revolver portion of
the bank credit facility. As a result, the available capacity under the line of
credit was reduced to $860 million, and the total line remains $1.025 billion.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our borrowings under the term loan portion of the bank credit facility as well
as the mortgage on The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia, Island are sensitive to changes in
interest rates. The interest rates on these debt obligations, which were $214.8
million and $215.0 million, respectively, at March 24, 2000 and December 31,
1999, are based on various LIBOR terms plus certain basis points which range
from 165 to 200 basis points. The weighted average interest rate for these
financial instruments are 7.77% at March 24, 2000 and 7.58% at December 31,
1999.
