References herein to "Smith Travel Research" are to industry data provided by
Smith Travel Research. References herein to "Coopers & Lybrand" refer to the
January 1996 Hospitality Directions Quarterly Research Journal published by
Coopers & Lybrand LLP.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
  The Company is one of the largest owners of hotels in the world with 90
lodging properties as of December 29, 1995, primarily located in the United
States. These properties generally are operated under Marriott brands and
managed by Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott International"), formerly a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Marriott brand name is among the
most respected and widely recognized brand names in the lodging industry. The
Company's primary focus is on the acquisition of full-service lodging
properties. During 1994 and 1995, the Company added 27 full-service hotels with
approximately 11,300 rooms for an aggregate of approximately $915 million,
bringing the Company's total full-service hotels to 55 at December 29, 1995.
Based on data provided by Smith Travel Research, the Company believes that its
full-service hotels consistently outperform the industry's average occupancy
rate by a significant margin and averaged 75.5% occupancy for 1995 compared to
68.2% average occupancy for the upscale full-service segment of the lodging
industry (the segment which is most representative of the Company's full-
service hotels).
 
  The lodging industry as a whole, and the full-service hotel segment in
particular, is benefiting from an improved supply and demand relationship in
the United States. Management believes that recent demand increases have
resulted primarily from an improved economic environment and a corresponding
increase in business travel. In spite of increased demand for rooms, the room
supply growth rate in the full-service segment has greatly diminished.
Management believes that this decrease in the supply growth rate in the full-
service segment is attributable to many factors including the limited
availability of attractive building sites for full-service hotels, the lack of
available financing for new full-service hotel construction and the
availability of existing full-service properties for sale at a discount to
their replacement value. Due to the relatively high occupancy rates of the
Company's hotels, the limited supply of new rooms and the recent increase in
business travel, the managers of the Company's hotels have increased average
daily room rates by primarily replacing certain discounted group business with
higher-rated group and transient business and by selectively increasing room
rates. As a result, on a comparable basis, room revenues per available room
("REVPAR") for full-service properties increased approximately 7% for 1995 over
the comparable period for the prior year. Furthermore, because lodging property
operations have a high fixed cost component, increases in REVPAR generally
yield greater percentage increases in operating profit. Accordingly, the
approximate 7% increase in REVPAR resulted in a 25% increase in comparable
full-service hotel operating profit for 1995. The Company expects this
supply/demand imbalance, particularly in the upscale full-service segment, to
continue, which should result in improved REVPAR and operating profits at its
hotel properties in the near term.
 
                               BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
  The Company's business strategy continues to focus on opportunistic
acquisitions of full-service urban, convention and resort hotels primarily in
the United States. The Company believes that the full-service segment of the
market offers numerous opportunities to acquire assets at attractive multiples
of cash flow and at substantial discounts to replacement value, including
underperforming hotels which can be improved by conversion to the Marriott
brand. The Company believes this segment is very promising because:
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
 
  . There is virtually no new supply of upscale full-service hotel rooms
    currently under construction. According to Smith Travel Research, from
    1988 to 1990, upscale full-service room supply increased an average of
    approximately 5% annually, which resulted in an oversupply of rooms in
    the industry. However, this growth slowed to an average of approximately
    1.7% from 1990 to 1995. Management believes that the lead time from
    conception to completion of a full-service hotel is generally five years
    or more in the types of markets the Company is principally pursuing,
    which will contribute to the continued low growth of supply. According to
    Coopers & Lybrand, hotel supply in the upscale full-service segment is
    expected to grow annually at 1.8% to 1.9% through 1998. Furthermore,
    because of the prolonged lead time for construction of new full-service
    hotels, management believes that growth in the full-service segment will
    continue to be limited at least through 2000.
  . Many desirable hotel properties are held by inadvertent owners such as
    banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions which are
    motivated and willing sellers. The Company has acquired several
    properties from these inadvertent owners at significant discounts to
    replacement cost.
  . Management believes that there are numerous opportunities to improve the
    performance of acquired hotels by replacing the existing hotel manager
    with Marriott International and converting the hotels to the Marriott
    brand. Nine of the 27 full-service hotels added in 1994 and 1995 were
    converted to the Marriott brand following their acquisition. These
    conversion properties (excluding the Marriott World Trade Center which
    was only partially open during 1995) experienced a 66.5% average
    occupancy rate during 1995 compared to an average occupancy rate of 75.5%
    for all of the Company's full-service hotels. The Company believes these
    nine conversion properties will experience improved operations as a
    result of increases in occupancy and room rates as the properties begin
    to benefit from Marriott's brand recognition, reservation system and
    group sales organization. The Company intends to pursue additional full-
    service hotel acquisitions, some of which may be conversion
    opportunities.
 
  The Company holds minority interests and serves as general partner in various
partnerships that own, as of December 29, 1995, an aggregate of 262 additional
properties, 42 of which are full-service properties, managed by Marriott
International. Four of the properties added by the Company in the last two
years were held by a partnership in which the Company holds a minority
interest. As opportunities arise, the Company will consider the acquisition of
additional full-service hotels currently held by such partnerships.
   
  The Company believes it is well qualified to pursue its acquisition strategy.
Management has extensive experience in acquiring and financing lodging
properties and believes its industry knowledge, relationships and access to
market information provide a competitive advantage with respect to evaluating
and acquiring hotel assets. In addition, the Company is well positioned to
convert acquired properties to the high-quality Marriott brand name due to its
relationship with Marriott International. For a description of the Company's
relationship with Marriott International, see "Relationship Between the Company
and Marriott International."     
 
           RECENT ACQUISITIONS, PENDING ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
   
  During 1994, the Company added 18 full-service hotels with approximately
7,400 rooms (including the Springfield Radisson Hotel, a 199-room hotel
subsequently sold in 1995) for approximately $525 million. In 1995, the Company
acquired nine full-service hotels with approximately 3,900 rooms in separate
transactions for approximately $390 million. In 1996, through the date hereof,
the Company has acquired one full-service hotel (374 rooms), controlling
interests in three additional properties (2,269 rooms), one of which is
currently under construction and is scheduled to be completed during the third
quarter of 1996, and an 83% interest in the mortgage loans secured by a 250-
room full-service property. See "Business and Properties--1996 Acquisitions."
The Company has also entered into agreements to purchase two full-service
properties (608 rooms) for approximately $52 million and a controlling interest
in one full-service property (400 rooms) for approximately $18 million
(together, the "Pending Acquisitions"). See "Business and Properties--Pending
Acquisitions."

  Consistent with its strategy of focusing on the full-service segment of the
lodging industry, the Company sold 26 of its 30 Fairfield Inns and all of its
14 senior living communities in 1994. In addition, the Company sold (subject to
a leaseback) 37 Courtyard by Marriott ("Courtyard") properties to an unrelated
real estate investment trust (the "REIT") in 1995. In 1995, the Company also
sold its remaining four Fairfield Inns and the 199-room Springfield Radisson
Hotel (which was acquired as part of a portfolio of lodging properties by the
Company in 1994). Management believes that all of these sales were made at
valuations that were attractive to the Company. In February 1996, the Company
entered into an agreement with the REIT to sell and lease back 16 Courtyard
properties and 18 Residence Inns (the "Pending Dispositions") for $349 million
(10% of which would be deferred). The Pending Dispositions should be completed
in the first and second quarters of 1996 and the Company intends to reinvest
the proceeds in the acquisition of full-service lodging properties. See
"Business and Properties--Pending Dispositions."     
 
                                SPECIAL DIVIDEND
 
  The Company previously operated food, beverage and merchandise concessions at
airports, on tollroads and at stadiums and arenas and other tourist attractions
(the "Operating Group"). On December 29, 1995, the Company distributed to its
shareholders through a special dividend (the "Special Dividend") all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Host Marriott Services Corporation ("HM
Services"), formerly a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which, as
of the date of the Special Dividend, owned and operated the Operating Group
business. The Special Dividend provided Company shareholders with one share of
common stock of HM Services for every five shares of Company Common Stock held
by such shareholders on the record date of December 22, 1995.
 
  The Special Dividend was designed to separate two types of businesses with
distinct financial, investment and operating characteristics and to allow each
business to adopt strategies and pursue objectives appropriate to its specific
needs. The Special Dividend (i) facilitates the development of employee
compensation programs custom-tailored to the operations of each business,
including stock-based and other incentive programs, which will more directly
reward employees of each business based on the success of that business, (ii)
enables the management of each company to concentrate its attention and
financial resources on the core businesses of such company, and (iii) permits
investors to make more focused investment decisions based on the specific
attributes of each of the two businesses.

- --------
   
 (1) Pro forma for the 1994 addition of 18 full-service properties (one of
     which was sold in December 1995), the 1994 sale of 14 senior living
     communities, the 1994 sale of 26 Fairfield Inns, the 1995 acquisition of
     eight full-service properties (excluding the Marriott World Trade Center),
     the 1995 sale/leaseback of 37 Courtyard properties, the 1995 sale of the
     four remaining Fairfield Inns, the May 1995 Debt Offering (as defined
     herein), the December 1995 Debt Offering (as defined herein), the 1996
     acquisition of a controlling interest in the San Diego Marriott Hotel and
     Marina, the 1996 acquisition of the Toronto Delta Meadowvale, the 1996
     purchase of an 83% interest in the mortgage loans secured by the Newport
     Beach Marriott Suites, the Pending Acquisitions and the Pending
     Dispositions. See "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data."     
 (2) For fiscal years 1995 and 1994, the Company recorded extraordinary losses
     on the extinguishment of debt of $20 million and $6 million, respectively,
     after taxes. For fiscal years 1995 and 1994, the Company recorded a loss
     from discontinued operations of $61 million and $6 million, respectively,
     after taxes.
 (3) EBITDA consists of the sum of consolidated net income (loss) from
     continuing operations, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
     amortization and certain other noncash charges (principally noncash write-
     downs of lodging properties and equity in earnings of affiliates, net of
     distributions received). The Company considers EBITDA to be an indicative
     measure of the Company's operating performance due to the significance of
     the Company's long-lived assets and because EBITDA can be used to measure
     the Company's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and
     expand its business; however, such information should not be considered as
     an alternative to net income, operating profit, cash flows 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 and income taxes have been,
     and will be, incurred which are not reflected in the EBITDA presentation.
 (4) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing income
     (loss) from continuing operations before taxes, interest expense and other
     fixed charges by total fixed charges, including interest expense,
     amortization of debt issuance costs and the portion of rent expense which
     represents interest. The deficiency of earnings to fixed charges is
     largely the result of depreciation and amortization of $122 million for
     fiscal year 1995, and $113 million for fiscal year 1994.
   
 (5) Pro forma for the 1996 acquisition of a controlling interest in the San
     Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina, the 1996 acquisition of the Toronto Delta
     Meadowvale, the 1996 purchase of an 83% interest in the mortgage loans
     secured by the Newport Beach Marriott Suites, the Pending Acquisitions and
     the Pending Dispositions. See "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
     Data."     
 (6) As further adjusted to give effect to the Offerings.
 (7) Consists of the 25 properties owned by the Company for all of 1995 and
     1994, except for the 255-room Elk Grove Suites hotel, which is leased to a
     national hotel chain through 1997 and the Sacramento property, which is
     operated as an independent hotel.
 (8) REVPAR represents room revenues generated per available room and excludes
     food and beverage and other ancillary revenues generated by the property.
 (9) Excludes the 820-room Marriott World Trade Center acquired in the last
     week of 1995.
(10) Excludes six properties acquired in the last two weeks of fiscal year 1994
     and the Detroit Airport Marriott included in the Special Dividend.
(11) Includes the 37 properties which the Company sold (subject to a leaseback)
     to the REIT in 1995.

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
  In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus,
prospective investors should consider carefully the following factors before
purchasing the securities offered hereby.
 
SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE AND LIMITED FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY
   
  The Company has substantial indebtedness. As of December 29, 1995, on a pro
forma basis as adjusted to give effect to the Offerings, the Company had
consolidated debt of $2.4 billion, representing 71% of its total
capitalization on a pro forma basis. The Company's business is capital
intensive, and the Company will have significant capital requirements in the
future. The Company's leverage could affect its ability to obtain financing in
the future or to undertake refinancings on terms and subject to conditions
deemed acceptable by the Company.     
 
  In the event that the Company's cash flow and working capital are not
sufficient to fund the Company's expenditures or to service its indebtedness,
the Company would be required to raise additional funds through the sale of
additional equity securities, the refinancing of all or part of its
indebtedness, the incurrence of additional permitted indebtedness, or the sale
of assets. There can be no assurance that any of these sources of funds would
be available in amounts sufficient for the Company to meet its obligations.
Moreover, even if the Company were able to meet its obligations, its leveraged
capital structure could significantly limit its ability to finance its
acquisition program and other capital expenditures, to compete effectively or
to operate successfully under adverse economic conditions.
 
POTENTIAL ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES OF DEBT FINANCING
 
  The indentures relating to senior notes issued by certain of the Company's
subsidiaries contain financial and operating covenants, including, but not
limited to, restrictions on the ability of such subsidiaries to incur
additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, pay dividends or make other
distributions to the Company, create liens, sell assets, enter into certain
transactions with affiliates, and enter into certain mergers and
consolidations. In addition, the new $225 million revolving line of credit
with Marriott International (the "New Line of Credit") imposes certain
restrictions on the ability of the Company and certain other subsidiaries to
incur additional debt, create liens or mortgages on their properties (other
than various types of liens arising in the ordinary course of business),
extend new guarantees (other than replacement guarantees), pay dividends and
repurchase their common stock. The above restrictions may limit the Company's
ability to secure additional financing, and may prevent the Company from
engaging in transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to the Company and
to holders of Common Stock.
 
RISKS OF ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
  The Company intends to pursue a strategy of growth through the opportunistic
acquisition of full-service urban, convention and resort hotels primarily in
the United States. There can be no assurance that the Company will find
suitable properties for acquisition. The Company incurs certain costs in
connection with the acquisition of new properties and may be required to
provide significant capital expenditures for conversions and upgrades when
acquiring a property operating as other than a Marriott-brand property. See
"Business and Properties--Hotel Lodging Properties--Hotels, Resorts and
Suites." There can be no assurance that any of the properties the Company may
acquire will be profitable following such acquisition. The acquisition of a
property that is not profitable, or the acquisition of a property that results
in significant unanticipated conversion costs, could adversely affect the
Company's profitability. The Company expects to finance new acquisitions from
a combination of the proceeds of the Offerings and, to the extent available,
funds from operations, other indebtedness and proceeds from the sale of
limited-service properties. Depending on the number, size and timing of such
transactions, the Company may in the future require additional financing in
order to continue to make acquisitions. There is no assurance that such
additional financing, if any, will be available to the Company on acceptable
terms.
 
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
COMPETITION AND RISKS OF THE LODGING INDUSTRY
   
  The Company's hotels generally operate in areas that contain numerous other
competitors. There can be no assurance that demographic, geographic or other
changes in markets will not adversely affect the convenience or desirability
of the location of the Company's hotels. Furthermore, there can be no
assurance that, in the markets in which the Company's hotels operate,
competing hotels will not pose greater competition for guests than presently
exists, or that new hotels will not enter such markets.     
   
  During the 1980s, construction of lodging facilities in the United States
resulted in an excess supply of available rooms. This over-supply had an
adverse effect on occupancy levels and room rates in the industry. Although
the current outlook for the industry has improved, there can be no assurance
that in the future, the lodging industry, including the Company and its
hotels, will not be adversely affected by (i) national and regional economic
conditions, (ii) changes in travel patterns, (iii) seasonality of the hotel
business, (iv) taxes and government regulations which influence or determine
wages, prices, interest rates, construction procedures and costs, and (v) the
availability of credit. Hotel investments are relatively illiquid. Such
illiquidity will tend to limit the ability of the Company to respond to
changes in economic or other conditions.     
 
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS WITH MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL
   
  The interests of the Company and Marriott International may potentially
conflict due to the ongoing relationships between the companies. In addition,
the Company and Marriott International share two common directors--J.W.
Marriott, Jr. serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of
Marriott International and also serves as a director of the Company, and
Richard E. Marriott serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Company and also serves as a director of Marriott International. Messrs. J.W.
Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott, as well as certain other officers and
directors of Marriott International and the Company, also own shares (and/or
options or other rights to acquire shares) in both companies. With respect to
the various contractual arrangements between the two companies, the potential
exists for disagreement as to the quality of services provided by Marriott
International and as to contract compliance. Any such disagreements between
the Company and Marriott International could adversely affect the performance
of one or more of the Company's hotels. Additionally, the possible desire of
the Company, from time to time, to finance, refinance or effect a sale of any
of the properties managed by Marriott International may, depending upon the
structure of such transactions, result in a need to modify the management
agreement with Marriott International with respect to such property. Any such
modification proposed by the Company may not be acceptable to Marriott
International, and the lack of consent from Marriott International could
adversely affect the Company's ability to consummate such financing or sale.
In addition, certain situations could arise where actions taken by Marriott
International in its capacity as manager of competing lodging properties would
not necessarily be in the best interests of the Company. Any such actions by
Marriott International could adversely impact one or more of the Company's
hotels. Nevertheless, the Company believes that there is sufficient mutuality
of interest between the Company and Marriott International to result in a
mutually productive relationship. Moreover, appropriate policies and
procedures are followed by the Board of Directors of each of the companies to
limit the involvement of Messrs. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott
(and, if appropriate, other officers and directors of such companies) in
conflict situations, including requiring them to abstain from voting as
directors of either the Company or Marriott International (or as directors of
any of their subsidiaries) on certain matters which present a conflict between
the companies. For a description of the Company's relationship with Marriott
International, see "Relationship Between the Company and Marriott
International."     
 
RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTMENTS THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS OR JOINT VENTURES
 
  Historically, the Company has served as a general or limited partner in
hotel partnerships, which typically owned a number of hotel properties and
involved numerous limited partners. More recently, the Company's joint
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
venture arrangements have been focused on one or a small number of properties,
and have involved only a few partners, which could include the manager or
former owners of such hotels. In the future, the Company intends selectively
to use joint venture arrangements to acquire properties and may consider
acquiring full or controlling interests in partnerships in which it currently
holds general or limited partner interests. Joint venturers may have certain
rights over the operation of the joint venture assets. Therefore, such
investments may, under certain circumstances, involve risks such as the
possibility that the co-venturer in an investment might become bankrupt, or
have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with the
business interests or goals of the Company, or be in a position to take action
contrary to the instructions or the requests of the Company or contrary to the
Company's policies or objectives. Consequently, actions by a co-venturer might
result in subjecting hotel properties owned by the joint venture to additional
risk. Although the Company will seek to maintain sufficient control of any
joint venture to permit the Company's objectives to be achieved, it may be
unable to take action without the approval of its joint venture partners or
its joint venture partners could take actions binding on the joint venture
without the Company's consent. Additionally, should a joint venture partner
become bankrupt, the Company could, in certain circumstances, become liable
for such partner's share of joint venture liabilities.
 
POTENTIAL ANTITAKEOVER EFFECT OF PROVISIONS IN COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
   
  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws each contain
provisions that will make difficult an acquisition of control of the Company
by means of a tender offer, open market purchases, proxy fight, or otherwise,
that is not approved by the Board of Directors. Provisions that may have an
antitakeover effect include (i) a staggered board of directors with three
separate classes, (ii) a super-majority vote requirement for removal or
filling of vacancies on the Board of Directors and for amendment to the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, (iii) a
prohibition on shareholder action by written consent and (iv) super-majority
voting requirements for approval of mergers and other business combinations
involving the Company and interested shareholders. In addition, the Company is
subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law requiring
super-majority approval for certain business combinations. The Company has
also adopted a shareholder rights plan which may discourage or delay a change
in control of the Company. Certain indebtedness issued by subsidiaries of the
Company also have change of control provisions that would require such
indebtedness to be repurchased in the event of a change of control which also
may have the effect of discouraging or delaying a change in control of the
Company. Finally, the Company has granted Marriott International, for a period
expiring in October 2003, the right to purchase up to 20% of each class of the
then outstanding voting stock of the Company at the fair market value thereof
upon the occurrence of certain specified events, generally involving changes
in control of the Company (the "Marriott International Purchase Right"). The
Marriott International Purchase Right may have certain antitakeover effects
with respect to the Company. Any person considering acquiring a substantial or
controlling block of Common Stock would face the possibility that its ability
to exercise control would be impaired by Marriott International's 20%
ownership resulting from exercise of the Marriott International Purchase
Right. It is also possible that the exercise price of the Marriott
International Purchase Right would be lower than the price at which a
potential acquirer might be willing to purchase a 20% block of shares of
Common Stock because the purchase price for the Marriott International
Purchase Right is based on the average trading price during a 30-day period
which may be prior to the announcement of the takeover event. This potential
price difference may have a further antitakeover effect of discouraging
potential acquirers of the Company. See "Purposes and Antitakeover Effects of
Certain Provisions of the Company Certificate and Bylaws and the Marriott
International Purchase Right" and "Description of Capital Stock--Rights and
Junior Preferred Stock."     
 
UNCERTAINTY AS TO MARKET PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK
 
  Because the market price of Common Stock is subject to fluctuation, the
market value of the shares of Common Stock may increase or decrease prior to
and following the consummation of the Offering. There can be no assurance that
at or after the consummation of the Offering the shares of Common Stock will
trade at the
 
                                      12
<PAGE>
 
prices at which such shares have traded in the past. The prices at which the
Common Stock trades after the consummation of the Offering may be influenced
by many factors, including the liquidity of the Common Stock, investor
perceptions of the Company and the real estate industry, the operating results
of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company's dividend policy, and
general economic and market conditions.
   
HISTORY OF LOSSES     
   
  The Company has sustained losses from continuing operations of $13 million
and $62 million during 1994 and 1995, respectively. The Company's losses have
resulted principally from depreciation, interest expense and write downs of
the carrying values of certain assets to their estimated sales values. There
can be no assurance that the Company will not continue to experience losses
from operations in the future. See "Selected Historical Financial Data" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition."     
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
  The Company is one of the largest owners of lodging properties in the world.
The Company's lodging properties (90 as of December 29, 1995) are generally
operated under Marriott brands and managed by Marriott International, formerly
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company is the largest owner of
hotels operated under Marriott brands. The Company also holds minority
interests in various partnerships that own in the aggregate as of December 29,
1995, 262 additional properties operated by Marriott International. The
Company's properties span several market segments, including full-service
(primarily Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites), moderate-priced (Courtyard by
Marriott), and extended-stay (Residence Inn). These Marriott brands are among
the most respected and widely recognized in the lodging industry.
 
  The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 10400 Fernwood
Road, Bethesda, Maryland, 20817, and its telephone number is (301) 380-9000.
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1929.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Common Stock offered
hereby, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated
expenses of the Offerings, are estimated to be approximately $   million
(approximately $   million if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is
exercised in full). The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the
Offerings to fund future acquisitions of primarily full-service lodging
properties or related assets and for general corporate purposes.
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
  The Company intends to retain future earnings, if any, for use in its
business and does not currently anticipate paying any regular cash dividends
on Common Stock. In addition, the New Line of Credit contains restrictions on
the payment of dividends on Common Stock and the Company's subsidiaries are
subject to certain agreements that limit their ability to pay dividends to the
Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

                PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
 
  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of
the Company reflect the following transactions for the fiscal year ended
December 29, 1995 and the fiscal year ended December 30, 1994, as if such
transactions had been completed at the beginning of each period:
 
  . 1996 acquisition of a controlling interest in the San Diego Marriott
    Hotel and Marina
  . 1996 acquisition of the Toronto Delta Meadowvale
     
  . 1996 acquisition of an 83% interest in the mortgage loans secured by the
    Newport Beach Marriott Suites     
  . Consummation of the Pending Acquisitions
  . Consummation of the Pending Dispositions
  . 1995 acquisition of eight full-service hotel properties (see discussion
    below)
  . 1995 sale/leaseback of 37 Courtyard properties
  . 1995 sale of the Company's remaining four Fairfield Inns
  . May 1995 Debt Offering
  . December 1995 Debt Offering
  . 1994 addition of 18 full-service hotel properties
  . 1994 sale of 14 senior living communities
  . 1994 sale of 26 Fairfield Inns
   
  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company
reflects the first quarter 1996 acquisition of a controlling interest in the
San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina, the first quarter 1996 acquisition of the
Toronto Delta Meadowvale, the first quarter 1996 purchase of an 83% interest
in the mortgage loans secured by the Newport Beach Marriott Suites, the
consummation of the Pending Acquisitions and the Pending Dispositions, as if
such transactions had been completed on December 29, 1995.     
   
  During the first quarter of 1996, the Company acquired the Toronto Delta
Meadowvale, a controlling interest in the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina
and an 83% interest in the mortgage loans secured by the Newport Beach
Marriott Suites. In February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with
the REIT to sell and lease back 16 Courtyard properties and 18 Residence Inns,
the Pending Dispositions.     
   
  The Company has also entered into agreements to purchase two full-service
hotel properties and a controlling interest in one full-service hotel
property. These transactions comprise the Pending Acquisitions.     
 
  During 1995, the Company acquired nine full-service hotel properties. The
accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations do not reflect any pro forma adjustments related to the New York
Vista Hotel (renamed the Marriott World Trade Center) due to the suspension of
hotel operations and the renovation of the hotel as a result of extensive
damage from an explosion on February 26, 1993. Because the hotel did not
resume full operations until mid-1995, the historical operations of the hotel
during the periods presented are not meaningful.
 
  During 1994, the Company added 18 full-service hotels to its lodging
portfolio (one of which was subsequently sold in 1995), including two hotels
for which a subsidiary of the Company provided 100% nonrecourse financing to
an affiliate of the Company for the acquisition of the hotels (which the
Company treats as owned for accounting purposes).
 
  During 1994, the Company sold all 14 of its senior living communities and 26
of its 30 Fairfield Inns. During 1995, 37 of the Company's Courtyard
properties were sold to and leased back from the REIT, and the Company sold
its four remaining Fairfield Inns.
 
  HMH Properties, Inc. ("HMH Properties"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, issued $600 million of debt (the "Properties Notes") in May
1995 (the "May 1995 Debt Offering"). The Properties Notes were issued at par
and carry a 9.5% interest rate with a final maturity of May 2005. The net
proceeds to the Company were used to defease, and subsequently redeem, bonds
which carried a weighted average interest rate of 10.4%, and to pay down a
portion of the line of credit with Marriott International. Additionally, the
Company replaced its $630 million line of credit with Marriott International
with the New Line of Credit.
 
 
 
                                      15
<PAGE>
 
  In December 1995, HMC Acquisition Properties, Inc. ("Acquisitions"), an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $350 million of 9%
senior notes (the "Acquisitions Notes") to several initial purchasers (the
"December 1995 Debt Offering"). The Acquisitions Notes were issued at par and
have a final maturity of December 2007. The proceeds were utilized to repay in
full the $210 million of outstanding borrowings under, and terminate,
Acquisitions' $230 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), to
acquire one full-service hotel in the fourth quarter of 1995 and the Toronto
Delta Meadowvale in the first quarter of 1996, and to finance future
acquisitions of full-service hotel properties, including one of the Pending
Acquisitions.
 
  During 1995, the Company sold the 199-room Springfield Radisson Hotel which
was acquired as part of a portfolio of lodging properties by the Company in
1994. No adjustment has been reflected in the accompanying Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations due to the immateriality of the
operating results for this property.
 
  The "Historical" column in the accompanying Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations excludes the results of the Operating Group, which
are considered discontinued operations.
 
  The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data of the Company are
unaudited and presented for informational purposes only and may not reflect
the Company's future results of operations and financial position or what the
results of operations and financial position of the Company would have been
had such transactions occurred as of the dates indicated. The unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data and Notes thereto should be read

D. Represents the adjustment to eliminate the revenues and the operating costs

   operating costs and secured debt interest expense for the 1995 acquisition
   of eight full-service properties, as if they were added at the beginning of
   the applicable period. On February 26, 1993, an explosion caused damage to
   the structure and interior of the New York Vista Hotel, as well as the
   adjoining World Trade Center complex. As a result of the damage, all hotel
   operations were suspended and the hotel underwent extensive renovation.
   Because the hotel did not resume full operations until mid-1995, the
   historical operations of the hotel during the periods presented are not
   meaningful and the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
   Statements of Operations do not reflect any adjustments related to the
   hotel.
 
F. Represents the adjustment to record the revenue and operating costs for the
   Pending Acquisitions, including depreciation expense reflecting the
   Company's basis in the assets and the incremental management fees as a
   result of the new management agreements that will be entered into in
   conjunction with the transactions.
   
G. Represents the adjustment to record the revenue, operating costs, secured
   debt interest expense and interest income for the first quarter 1996
   acquisition of the Toronto Delta Meadowvale, the purchase of a controlling
   interest in the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina, and the purchase of an
   83% interest in the mortgage loans secured by the Newport Beach Marriott
   Suites.     
 
H. Represents the net adjustment to eliminate the depreciation expense and
   record the incremental lease expense for the 1995 sale/leaseback of the 37
   Courtyard properties.
 
I. Represents the net adjustment to eliminate the depreciation expense and
   record the incremental lease expense for the Pending Dispositions.

   senior notes of Host Marriott Hospitality, Inc. (the "Hospitality Notes")
   with the net sales proceeds from the 26 Fairfield Inns, 14 senior living
   communities and 21 Courtyard properties.
 
K. Represents the adjustment to reduce interest expense to reflect the
   decrease in interest rates as a result of the issuance of the Properties
   Notes and the decrease in commitment fees as a result of the New Line of
   Credit. Extraordinary losses of approximately $17 million, after taxes,
   related to the 1995 redemption of certain of the Hospitality Notes are not
   reflected in the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
   Statements of Operations.
 
L. Represents the adjustment to interest expense to eliminate the interest
   expense and related amortization of deferred financing fees for the
   Revolver, and to record the interest expense and related amortization of
   deferred financing fees as a result of the issuance of the Acquisitions
   Notes.
 
M. Represents the income tax impact of pro forma adjustments at statutory
   rates.
 
N. Represents the adjustment to eliminate the revenues and the operating costs
   for the 26 Fairfield Inns sold during 1994.
 
O. Represents the adjustment to reflect the incremental increase in revenue,
   operating costs and the secured debt interest expense for the 1994 addition
   of 18 full-service properties, mainly utilizing proceeds from the January
   1994 issuance of Common Stock by the Company and the Revolver, and the
   related decrease in interest income.
 
P. Represents the adjustments to eliminate the revenues, operating costs and
   the secured debt interest expense for the 14 senior living communities sold
   during 1994.
 
Q. Represents the adjustment to increase the weighted average number of common
   shares outstanding assuming the January 1994 issuance of common stock by
   the Company occurred as of January 1, 1994.
 
R. EBITDA consists of the sum of consolidated net income (loss) from
   continuing operations, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
   amortization and certain other noncash charges (principally noncash write-
   downs of lodging properties and equity in earnings of affiliates, net of
   distributions received). The Company considers EBITDA to be an indicative
   measure of the Company's operating performance due to the significance of
   the Company's long-lived assets and because EBITDA can be used to measure
   the Company's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand
   its business; however, such information should not be considered as an
   alternative to net income, operating profit, cash flows 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 and income taxes have been, and will be,
   incurred which are not reflected in the EBITDA presentation.

    through the Marriott International Distribution date of October 8, 1993.
    These operations had a net pretax effect on income of $211 million for the
    year ended December 31, 1993 and are recorded as "Profit from operations
    distributed to Marriott International" on the Company's consolidated
    statements of operations and are, therefore, not included in sales,
    operating profit before corporate expenses and interest, interest expense
    and interest income for the same period. The net pretax effect of these
    operations is, however, included in income before income taxes,
    extraordinary item and cumulative effect of changes in accounting
    principles and in net income for the same periods. Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," was
    adopted in the first quarter of 1993. In the second quarter of 1993, the
    Company changed its accounting method for assets held for sale. During
    1993, the Company recorded a $34 million credit to reflect the adoption of
    SFAS No. 109 and a $32 million charge, net of taxes, to reflect the change
    in its accounting method for assets held for sale.
(4) Operating results in 1993 and 1992 included pretax expenses related to the
    Marriott International Distribution totaling $13 million and $21 million,
    respectively.
(5) Fiscal year 1991 includes 53 weeks.
(6) The Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, as
    a result of the Special Dividend of $61 million in 1995, $6 million in
    1994, and $4 million in 1993, and income from discontinued operations, net
    of taxes, of $10 million in 1992, and $12 million in 1991. The 1995 loss
    from discontinued operations includes a pretax charge of $47 million for
    the adoption of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting For the Impairment of Long-Lived
    Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," a pretax $15 million
    restructuring charge and an extraordinary loss of $10 million, net of
    taxes, on the extinguishment of debt.
(7) Earnings per common share is computed on a fully diluted basis by dividing
    net income available for common stock by the weighted average number of
    outstanding common and common equivalent shares, plus other potentially
    dilutive securities. Common equivalent shares and other potentially
    dilutive securities have been excluded from the weighted average number of
    outstanding common shares for 1995 and 1994, as they are antidilutive.
(8) Includes convertible subordinated debt of $20 million at December 31,
    1993, $228 million at January 1, 1993 and $210 million at January 3, 1992.

  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
                                   CONDITION
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The following discussion and analysis includes the results of operations of
the Company for 1995 and 1994 on a historical basis, and 1993 on a pro forma
basis. On October 8, 1993, Marriott Corporation (as the Company was formerly
known) made a special dividend consisting of the distribution (the "Marriott
International Distribution") to holders of outstanding shares of common stock,
on a share-for-share basis, of all outstanding shares of its wholly owned
subsidiary, Marriott International, which at the time of the Marriott
International Distribution held all of the assets relating to the lodging and
senior living services management, timeshare resort development and operation,
food service and facilities management and other contract services businesses
(the "Management Business") formerly conducted by the Company. Marriott
International now conducts the Management Business as a separate publicly
traded company.
 
  Management believes that a discussion of the Company's historical results of
operations for 1993 is not relevant because the significant changes as a
result of the Marriott International Distribution and related transactions
make the 1994 and 1993 historical results of operations not comparable and
that it is more meaningful and relevant in understanding the present and
ongoing Company operations to compare the Company's historical 1994 operating
results to the pro forma operating results for 1993 reflecting the Marriott
International Distribution and related transactions ("Distribution Pro
Forma"). Accordingly, the Company's Distribution Pro Forma consolidated
statement of operations for fiscal 1993 is presented below. This Distribution
Pro Forma condensed consolidated statement of operations was prepared as if
the Marriott International Distribution and related transactions and the
implementation of the various related agreements entered into with Marriott
International, including the lodging management agreements and senior living
community leases, occurred at the beginning of the period and include only the
operations of the businesses retained by the Company, and exclude, among other
items, certain nonrecurring costs totalling $13 million relating to the
Marriott International Distribution, accounting changes, extraordinary losses
and discontinued operations related to the Special Dividend. See Notes 3, 6,
8, 9, 11, 15 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included
elsewhere herein for discussion of the Marriott International Distribution,
and the related transactions and agreements.

  The following Distribution Pro Forma consolidated statement of operations
for 1993 and management's discussion and analysis related thereto are
presented in the format that the Company adopted as of January 1, 1994. The
historical and Distribution Pro Forma consolidated statements of operations
and related analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
The Distribution Pro Forma consolidated statement of operations does not
purport to be indicative of results which may occur in the future or what the
results of operations and financial position of the Company would have been
had such transactions occurred as of the dates indicated. The Distribution Pro
Forma consolidated statement of operations only reflects the consummation of
the Marriott International Distribution.

(1) Significant adjustments to the 1993 historical financial statements for
    the Distribution Pro Forma data include:
 
  .  the reduction of hotel revenues by $354 million to equal house profit,
     which the Company treats as revenue from owned hotels subsequent to the
     Marriott International Distribution, with a matching decrease in
     operating costs and expenses. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
     Statements included elsewhere herein;
 
  .  the reduction of operating profit by $14 million to reflect management
     fees paid to Marriott International under the lodging management
     agreements;
 
  .  the reduction of property level revenues of $67 million to equal rental
     income of $23 million and the reduction of operating expenses of $46
     million for senior living communities owned by the Company and leased to
     Marriott International. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
     Statements included elsewhere herein;
 
  .  the elimination of the pretax profit from operations distributed to
     Marriott International of $211 million;
 
  .  the elimination of certain nonrecurring charges of $13 million directly
     related to the Marriott International Distribution; and
 
  .  the net decrease to interest expense of $12 million primarily related to
     the assumption by Marriott International of 90% of the Liquid Yield
     Option Notes ("LYONs") issued by Marriott Corporation, partially offset
     by the increase in interest expense as a result of a debt exchange offer
     in 1993. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included
     elsewhere herein.

(2) SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" was adopted in the first
    quarter of 1993. In the second quarter of 1993, the Company changed its
    accounting method for assets held for sale. The Company recorded a $34
    million credit to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 109 and a $32 million
    charge, net of taxes, to reflect the change in its accounting method for
    assets held for sale in 1993. See the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
    Statements included elsewhere herein.
(3) In 1995, the Company recognized a $20 million extraordinary loss, net of
    taxes, on the extinguishment of debt. The Company recognized a $6 million
    extraordinary loss, net of taxes, on the required redemption of senior
    notes in 1994. The Company recognized a $4 million extraordinary loss, net
    of taxes, on the completion of a debt exchange offer in 1993. See Notes 3
    and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.
(4) The Company's loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, as a result
    of the Special Dividend was $61 million in 1995, $6 million in 1994 and $4
    million in 1993. The 1995 loss from discontinued operations includes a
    pretax charge of $47 million for the adoption of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
    for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
    Disposed Of," a pretax $15 million restructuring charge and an
    extraordinary loss of $10 million, net of taxes, on the extinguishment of
    debt. See the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.
(5) The 1993 pro forma weighted average shares are based on weighted average
    common shares of the Company adjusted to reflect (i) the conversion of the
    Company's preferred stock into 10.6 million shares of Common Stock prior
    to the Marriott International Distribution, and (ii) the issuance by the
    Company of 1.8 million shares of its Common Stock, prior to the Marriott
    International Distribution, in connection with the refinancing of certain
    of its senior debt.
 
  Subsequent to the Marriott International Distribution, revenues primarily
represent house profit from the Company's hotel properties, net gains (losses)
on real estate transactions, equity in the earnings of affiliates and lease
rentals from the Company's senior living communities (1994 and 1993). House
profit reflects the net revenues flowing to the Company as property owner and
represents hotel sales less property-level expenses (excluding depreciation,
management fees, real and personal property taxes, ground and equipment rent,
insurance and certain other costs which are classified as operating costs and
expenses). The operating costs and expenses of the senior living communities
consist of depreciation and amortization, while other operating costs and
expenses include idle land carrying costs and certain other costs.
 
  For the periods discussed herein, the Company's properties have experienced
substantial increases in room revenues generated per available room
("REVPAR"). REVPAR is a commonly used indicator of market performance for
hotels which represents the combination of the average daily room rate charged
and the average
 
                                      25
<PAGE>
 
occupancy achieved. REVPAR does not include food and beverage or other
ancillary revenues generated by the property. The REVPAR increase primarily
represents strong percentage increases in room rates, while occupancies have
generally increased slightly or remained flat. Increases in room rates have
generally been achieved by the managers through shifting occupancies away from
discounted group business to higher-rated group and transient business. This
has been made possible by increased travel due to improved economic conditions
and by the favorable supply/demand characteristics existing in the lodging
industry today, particularly in the full-service segment. The Company expects
this supply/demand imbalance, particularly in the full-service segment, to
continue, which should result in improved REVPAR and operating profits at its
hotel properties in the near term. However, there can be no assurance that
REVPAR will continue to increase in the future.
 
  Nine of the Company's properties were converted to the Marriott brand name
following their acquisition by the Company. The conversion of these properties
to the Marriott brand is intended to increase occupancy and room rates as a
result of Marriott International's nationwide marketing and reservation
systems and Honored Guest Awards Program, as well as customer recognition of
the Marriott brand name. In connection with the conversion of four of the nine
conversion properties, the Company employed, or will employ, additional
capital to upgrade these properties to the Company's and the new manager's
standards. The invested capital with respect to these properties is primarily
used for the improvement of common areas as well as upgrading soft and hard
goods (i.e., carpets, draperies, paint, furniture and additional amenities).
The conversion process typically causes periods of disruption to these
properties as selected rooms and common areas are temporarily taken out of
service. Due to these disruptive periods, the time necessary for integration
into the nationwide Marriott system and the Company's realization of the
anticipated effect of these improvements, the operating results for 1995 do
not reflect the full impact of conversion for these four properties. The
Company expects to begin to realize the benefits of conversion improvements
within six to 12 months of their completion. For three of the four conversion
properties, the Company expects to realize the benefits during 1996. For the
fourth conversion property, significant conversion improvement efforts will be
completed during 1996 and the Company expects to begin to realize the benefits
therefrom in 1997. The operating performance of the five properties which did
not require significant renovation have begun to reflect the benefits of
conversion subsequent to their conversion to the Marriott brand name.
 
  The Company's hotel operating costs and expenses are, to a great extent,
fixed. Therefore, the Company derives substantial operating leverage from
increases in revenue. This operating leverage is somewhat diluted, however, by
the impact of base management fees which are calculated as a percentage of
sales, variable lease payments and incentive management fees tied to operating
performance above certain established levels. Successful 1994 and 1995 full-
service hotel performance resulted in certain of the Company's properties
reaching levels which allowed the manager to share in the growth of profits in
the form of higher management fees. The Company views this as a positive
development because it helps to strengthen the alignment of the managers'
interest with the Company's. The Company expects that this trend will continue
in 1996 as the hotel industry continues to strengthen.
 
  The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been restated to
reflect the results of the Operating Group as discontinued operations for all
periods discussed below.
 
 1995 Compared to 1994
 
  Revenues. Revenues primarily represent house profit from the Company's hotel
properties, net gains (losses) on real estate transactions, equity in earnings
of affiliates and lease rentals for the Company's senior living communities
(in 1994). Revenues increased $104 million, or 27%, to $484 million in 1995.
The Company's revenue and operating profit from continuing operations were
impacted by:
 
  . improved lodging results (see discussion below);
 
  . the net addition of 28 full-service hotel properties during 1994 and
    1995;
 
  . the 1995 sale and leaseback of 37 of the Company's Courtyard properties;
 
 
                                      26
<PAGE>
 
  . the $60 million pretax charge in 1995 to write down the carrying value of
    one undeveloped land parcel to its estimated sales value;
 
  . the $10 million pretax charge in 1995 to write down the carrying value of
    certain Courtyard and Residence Inn properties held for sale to their net
    sales values;
 
  . the 1994 sale of the Company's senior living communities;
 
  . the 1994 and 1995 sales of the Company's Fairfield Inns; and
 
  . the 1994 reduction in general liability and workers' compensation self-
    insurance program reserves related to the Company's continuing operations
    of $4 million.
 
  Hotel revenues increased $136 million, or 40%, to $474 million in 1995, as
all three of the Company's lodging concepts reported growth in REVPAR. The
hotels added by the Company in 1994 and 1995 provided $197 million of revenue
in 1995. Excluding the impact of the addition of full-service properties, the
sales of the Fairfield Inns, and the sale and leaseback of 37 Courtyards,
comparable hotel revenues increased $28 million, or 11%, in 1995 over 1994.
   
  Revenue for nearly all of the Company's full-service hotels, resorts and
suites for 1995 was improved or comparable to the results for 1994. Increases
in REVPAR of 7% for comparable units led to improved results. On a comparable
basis for the Company's full-service properties, average room rates increased
9%, while average occupancy decreased over one percentage point.     
 
  The Company's moderate-price Courtyard properties reported nearly an 8%
increase in REVPAR due to a 7% increase in average room rates and a small
increase in occupancy.
 
  The Company's extended-stay Residence Inns reported an 8% increase in REVPAR
due to an increase in average room rates of 7%, combined with a one percentage
point increase in average occupancy. Due to the high occupancy of these
properties, the Company expects future increases in REVPAR, if any, to result
from room rate increases, rather than occupancy increases. However, there can
be no assurance that REVPAR will continue to increase in the future.
 
  In the third quarter of 1994, the Company sold 26 of its 30 Fairfield Inns
for $114 million and in the second quarter of 1995, the Company sold its four
remaining Fairfield Inns to the same buyer for net cash proceeds of $6
million. Revenues and operating profit in 1995 for the four remaining
Fairfield Inns prior to their disposition were comparable to 1994.
 
  The net loss on property transactions for 1995 includes the pretax charge of
$10 million to write down the carrying value of five individual Courtyard and
Residence Inn properties held for sale to their estimated net sales values,
partially offset by the deferred gain amortization related to the 1994 and
1993 sales of the Company's remaining limited partner interests in the
Residence Inn USA partnership.
 
  Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses principally
consist of depreciation, management fees, real and personal property taxes,
ground and equipment rent, insurance and certain other costs. The Company's
operating costs and expenses increased $142 million to $370 million for 1995
primarily representing increased hotel operating costs, partially offset by
the impact on operating costs from the 1994 sale of the senior living
communities. Hotel operating costs increased $83 million to $281 million for
1995 primarily due to the net addition of 28 full-service properties during
1994 and 1995 and increased management fees and rentals tied to improved
property results, net of the impact of the sales of certain limited-service
properties discussed above. As a percentage of hotel revenues, hotel operating
costs and expenses remained unchanged at 59% of revenues in both 1995 and
1994. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company determined that a 174-
acre undeveloped land site will no longer be developed into an office project
over an extended time period as previously planned, but instead, the Company
decided to market the site for near-term sale. As a result of this change in
strategy, a pretax charge of $60 million was recorded to reduce the asset to
its estimated sales value.
 
 
                                      27
<PAGE>
 
  Operating Profit. As a result of the changes in revenues and operating costs
and expenses discussed above, the Company's operating profit decreased $38
million, or 25%, to $114 million in 1995. Hotel operating profit increased $53
million, or 38%, to $193 million, or 41% of revenues, for 1995 from $140
million, or 41% of revenues, for 1994. The hotels added by the Company in 1994
and 1995 provided $73 million of operating profit for 1995. Excluding the
impact of the non-comparable items discussed earlier, hotel operating profit
increased $29 million, or 31%, over 1994. Several hotels, including the New
York Marriott Marquis, Santa Clara Marriott and the Newport Beach Marriott
posted significant improvements in operating profit.
 
  Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses increased $5 million to $36 million
in 1995 primarily due to an increase in the number of employees and overall
higher corporate administrative and travel costs associated with higher
revenues. As a percentage of revenues, corporate expenses decreased to 7% of
revenues in 1995 from 8% in 1994.
 
  Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by 8% to $178 million in 1995
primarily due to the additional debt incurred in connection with the 1994 and
1995 full-service hotel acquisitions, increased interest rates on the
Company's variable rate debt, and the decreased benefit from the Company's
interest rate swap agreements, which was partially offset by the net impact of
the 1994 and 1995 redemptions of Hospitality Notes and the New Line of Credit.
 
  Continuing Operations. The loss from continuing operations for 1995
increased $49 million to $62 million principally due to the changes in
operating profit discussed above and the increase in corporate expenses and
interest expense.
 
  Discontinued Operations. The loss from discontinued operations for 1995 of
$61 million principally was due to a $10 million extraordinary loss on the
redemption and defeasance of certain debt in 1995, a charge of approximately
$47 million before taxes for the adoption of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,"
a $15 million pretax charge for the restructuring of HM Services' business
processes and $9 million of expenses related to the Special Dividend.
 
  Extraordinary Item. In connection with the redemption and defeasance of
certain of the Company's debt in 1995, the Company recognized an extraordinary
loss of $30 million ($20 million after taxes), primarily representing premiums
paid on the redemption of Hospitality Notes of $13 million and the write-off
of deferred financing fees and discounts on the Hospitality Notes and the
Revolver.
 
  Net Loss. The Company's net loss for 1995 increased $118 million to $143
million. The net loss for 1995 was $.90 per share, compared to $.17 per share
for 1994.
 
 Historical 1994 Compared to Pro Forma 1993
 
  Revenues. Revenues from continuing operations rose $119 million, or 46%, to
$380 million for 1994 from $261 million on a pro forma basis for 1993. The
Company's revenue and operating profit from continuing operations were
impacted by:
 
  . improved lodging results (see discussion below);
 
  . the addition of 18 full-service hotel properties during 1994;
 
  . the consolidation of the partnership owning the New York Marriott Marquis
    on December 31, 1993;
 
  . the 1994 sale of the Company's senior living communities;
 
  . the 1994 sale of 26 of the Company's Fairfield Inns;
 
  . the 1994 reduction in general liability and workers' compensation self-
    insurance program reserves related to the Company's continuing operations
    of $4 million;
 
 
                                      28
<PAGE>
 
  . the 1993 $11 million charge to write down the carrying value of certain
    Fairfield Inn properties held for sale to their net realizable value;
 
  . the 1993 sale of 11 Residence Inns; and
 
  . the 1993 $10 million gain on the sale of the Company's interest in a
    hotel partnership.
 
  Hotel revenues increased $89 million, or 36%, to $338 million for 1994, as
all of the Company's lodging concepts reported growth in REVPAR for comparable
units. The hotels added by the Company in 1994 provided $27 million of
revenue. Excluding the impact of the addition of full-service properties, the
sales of the Fairfield Inns and Residence Inns and consolidation of the New
York Marriott Marquis, comparable hotel revenues increased $31 million, or
15%, in 1994 over pro forma 1993.
 
  Revenue for the Company's full-service hotels, resorts, and suites was
improved or comparable to 1993 results with the exception of the Miami Airport
Marriott Hotel which achieved very high occupancy levels in early 1993
resulting from Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The Company's full-service hotels
posted a 7% increase in REVPAR for comparable units. Average occupancy
increased over one percentage point for comparable units, while average room
rates increased 5%.
 
  The Company's moderate-priced Courtyard properties reported significant
increases in revenues in 1994 due to REVPAR increases. REVPAR of the Company's
Courtyard properties increased 8%, due to a 7% increase in average room rates
and almost a one percentage point increase in average occupancy.
 
  The Company's extended-stay Residence Inns also reported significant
increases in revenues in 1994 due to REVPAR increases. REVPAR of the Company's
Residence Inns increased 8% for comparable units due primarily to an increase
in average room rates of 7%, combined with a one percentage point increase in
average occupancy.
 
  On August 5, 1994, the Company sold 26 of its Fairfield Inns to an unrelated
party for net proceeds of approximately $114 million. Prior to their sale,
year-to-date revenues and operating profit were comparable to the prior year.
Year-to-date revenues and operating profit for the four remaining Fairfield
Inns were comparable to the 1993 pro forma amounts.
 
  Senior living communities' revenues consist of rentals earned under the
lease agreements with Marriott International. During the first quarter of
1994, the Company executed an agreement to sell all of its senior living
communities to an unrelated party for approximately $320 million, which
approximated the communities' carrying value. The sale of the communities was
completed during the second and third quarters of 1994. Prior to their sales,
year-to-date revenues and operating profit for senior living communities were
comparable to 1993.
 
  The net gains (losses) on property transactions for 1994 principally
included amortization of the deferred gain on the 1993 sale of Residence Inns,
and for 1993 principally included the Fairfield Inn net realizable value
write-down and the gain on the 1993 sale of the Company's interest in the
partnership owning the Boston Copley Marriott Hotel.
 
  Equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates was break even for 1994, compared
to $27 million of losses recorded in 1993. The significant decrease is
attributable to the consolidation of the partnership owning the New York
Marriott Marquis on December 31, 1993.
 
  Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased $47
million to $228 million in 1994. Hotel operating costs increased $43 million
to $198 million in 1994. As a percentage of hotel revenues, hotel operating
costs and expenses represented 59% of revenues in 1994 and 62% of revenues in
1993. Due to favorable claims experience for the general liability and
workers' compensation self-insurance programs, the Company reduced its related
actuarially estimated reserves by $4 million in 1994, which is reflected as a
reduction in the Company's other operating costs and expenses.
 
 
                                      29

  Operating Profit. As a result of the changes in revenues and operating costs
and expenses discussed above, the Company's operating profit increased $72
million, or 90%, to $152 million in 1994. Hotel operating profit increased $46
million, or 49%, to $140 million, or 41% of hotel revenues for 1994 from $94
million or 38% of hotel revenues for 1993 on a pro forma basis. The hotels
added by the Company in 1994 provided $13 million of operating profit for
1994. Excluding the impact of the noncomparable items discussed earlier, hotel
operating profit increased $24 million, or 32%, over pro forma 1993 levels.
 
  Corporate expenses. Corporate expenses increased $8 million to $31 million
for 1994 primarily due to higher employee restricted stock award expenses and
administrative costs. Corporate expenses decreased to 8% of revenues in 1994
from 9% of revenues in 1993.
 
  Interest expense. Interest expense increased by 9% to $165 million for 1994
due to the consolidation of the partnership owning the New York Marriott
Marquis and the impact of rising interest rates on the Company's floating rate
debt and interest rate swap agreements, partially offset by the impact of bond
redemptions in the second half of 1994.
 
  Continuing Operations. The loss from continuing operations for 1994
decreased $47 million to $13 million principally due to the strong performance
of the Company's lodging properties as discussed above.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  The Company funds its capital requirements with a combination of operating
cash flow, debt and equity financing, and proceeds from sales of selected
properties and other assets. The Company utilizes these sources of capital to
acquire new properties, fund capital additions and improvements, and make
principal payments on debt.
   
  Capital Transactions. On December 20, 1995, HMC Acquisition Properties, Inc.
("Acquisitions"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued
$350 million of 9% senior notes (the "Acquisitions Notes") to several initial
purchasers (the "December 1995 Debt Offering"). Acquisitions owns 16 of the
Company's full-service hotel properties. The Acquisitions Notes were issued at
par and have a final maturity of December 2007. The net proceeds totaled $340
million and were utilized to repay in full the outstanding borrowings of $210
million under the Revolver, which was then terminated, to acquire one full-
service property for $29 million in December 1995 and another full-service
property for $25 million in the first quarter of 1996, and to finance future
acquisitions of full-service hotel properties with the remaining $76 million
of proceeds. The Acquisitions Notes are guaranteed by Acquisitions'
subsidiary. The indenture governing the Acquisitions Notes contains covenants
that, among other things, limit the ability of Acquisitions and its subsidiary
to incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, pay dividends or
make other distributions, repurchase capital stock or subordinated
indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with
affiliates, sell certain assets, issue or sell stock of Acquisitions'
subsidiary, and enter into certain mergers and consolidations. In addition,
under certain circumstances, Acquisitions will be required to offer to
purchase the Acquisitions Notes at par value with the proceeds of certain
asset sales. Acquisitions will not be required to make principal payments on
the Acquisitions Notes until maturity, except in the event of certain changes
in control. Distributions by Acquisitions to the Company are available through
the payment of dividends only to the extent that the cumulative amount of such
dividends from December 20, 1995 does not exceed $15 million plus an amount
equal to the excess of Acquisitions' EBITDA over 200% of Acquisitions'
interest expense, as defined in the indenture, plus the amount of capital
contributions to Acquisitions subsequent to December 20, 1995. Acquisitions
has the ability to enter into a revolving credit facility of up to $25
million, which would be available for Acquisitions' working capital, and other
general corporate purposes, and to incur other indebtedness as specified in
the indenture.     
 
  On May 25, 1995, two wholly owned subsidiaries of Host Marriott Hospitality,
Inc. ("Hospitality"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued an
aggregate of $1 billion of 9.5% senior secured notes in two concurrent
offerings. HMH Properties, Inc. ("Properties"), the owner of 57 of the
Company's 90 lodging properties, and Host Marriott Travel Plazas, Inc.
("HMTP"), the operator/manager of HM Services' food,
 
                                      30
<PAGE>
 
beverage and merchandise concessions business, issued $600 million and $400
million, respectively, of senior notes secured by the stock of certain of
their respective subsidiaries. The bonds were issued at par and have a final
maturity of May 2005. The net proceeds of approximately $971 million were used
to defease, and subsequently redeem, all of Hospitality's remaining bonds (the
"Hospitality Notes") and to repay borrowings under the line of credit with
Marriott International. The Properties Notes are secured by a pledge of the
stock of certain of Properties' subsidiaries and are guaranteed, jointly and
severally, by certain of Properties' subsidiaries. The indenture governing the
Properties Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the
ability of Properties and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness
and issue preferred stock, pay dividends or make other distributions,
repurchase capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, create certain liens,
enter into certain transactions with affiliates, sell certain assets, issue or
sell stock of Properties' subsidiaries, and enter into certain mergers and
consolidations. Distributions of Properties' equity are restricted but will be
available for the payment of dividends to the extent that the cumulative
amount of such dividends from May 25, 1995 does not exceed $25 million plus an
amount equal to the excess of Properties' EBITDA over 200% of Properties'
interest expense, as defined in the indenture, plus the amount of capital
contributions to Properties subsequent to May 25, 1995. Properties has the
ability to enter into a revolving credit facility of up to $35 million, which
would be available for Properties' working capital and other general corporate
purposes, and to incur other indebtedness as specified in the indenture. The
HMTP senior notes were included in the HM Services' Special Dividend.
 
  Under the indentures for the Acquisitions Notes and the Properties Notes,
proceeds from the sale of assets within the subsidiary issuing the notes may
be used for the acquisition of new properties subject to certain limitations.
 
  During 1995, the Company replaced its line of credit with the New Line of
Credit with Marriott International pursuant to which the Company has the right
to borrow up to $225 million to fund (i) obligations under certain guarantees
made by the Company, (ii) payments of principal on specified recourse debt of
the Company and its subsidiaries, (iii) payment of interest on amounts
borrowed under the New Line of Credit and on specified recourse debt of the
Company and its subsidiaries, (iv) working capital, and (v) other items
approved in advance by Marriott International. Borrowings under the New Line
of Credit bear interest at LIBOR plus 3% (4% when the outstanding balance
exceeds $112.5 million) and mature in June 1998. Any such borrowings are
guaranteed by, or secured by the pledge of the stock of, certain subsidiaries
of the Company. An annual commitment fee of 5/8% is charged on the unused
portion of the New Line of Credit. There was $22 million outstanding under the
New Line of Credit at December 29, 1995. The New Line of Credit imposes
certain restrictions on the ability of the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries to incur additional debt, create liens or mortgages on their
properties (other than various types of liens arising in the ordinary course
of business), extend new guarantees (other than replacement guarantees), pay
dividends, and repurchase their common stock. When no advances are outstanding
under the New Line of Credit and the Company and certain of its subsidiaries
have adequately reserved for debt maturities over a 6-month term, such
restricted payments as would otherwise be prohibited are permitted in the
amount by which aggregate EBITDA of the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries (as defined in the New Line of Credit) and the proceeds of
specified stock issuances exceed 170% of the aggregate of certain specified
charges.
 
  In January 1994, the Company raised $230 million of net proceeds from the
sale of 20.1 million shares of common stock. Additionally, the Company
obtained the Revolver for up to $230 million with a group of commercial banks
for the acquisition of full-service hotels. The common stock and Revolver
proceeds were utilized to fund the acquisition of full-service hotel
properties. As discussed above, the Revolver was repaid in full, and
terminated, with certain proceeds from the December 1995 Debt Offering.
 
  There are no plans to pay regular cash dividends on the Company's common
stock in the near future, and the Company is prohibited from paying dividends
while amounts are outstanding under its New Line of Credit with Marriott
International.
 
  Asset Dispositions. The Company historically has and may, from time to time
in the future, consider opportunities to sell certain of its real estate
properties if price targets can be achieved. During the first and third
 
                                      31
<PAGE>
 
   
quarters of 1995, 37 of the Company's Courtyard properties were sold to and
leased back from the REIT for approximately $330 million. The Company received
net proceeds from the two transactions of approximately $297 million and will
receive approximately $33 million upon expiration of the leases. A deferred
gain of $14 million on the sale/leaseback transactions will be amortized over
the initial term of the leases. In February 1996, the Company entered into an
agreement with the REIT to sell and lease back 16 of the Company's remaining
Courtyard properties for approximately $176 million and 18 of the Company's
Residence Inn properties for approximately $172 million (10% of the sale
amount of both transactions would be deferred). The transactions are expected
to close in the first and second quarters of 1996. In 1995, the Company also
sold its four remaining Fairfield Inns for net cash proceeds of approximately
$6 million, which approximated their carrying value, and the Springfield
Radisson Hotel for net cash proceeds of approximately $3 million, which
approximated its carrying value. During the second and third quarters of 1994,
the Company sold 14 senior living communities to an unrelated party for
approximately $320 million, which approximated the communities' carrying
value. Additionally, during the third quarter of 1994, the Company sold 26 of
its Fairfield Inns to an unrelated party. The net proceeds from the sale of
the hotels was approximately $114 million, which exceeded the carrying value
of the hotels by approximately $12 million, and such excess has been deferred.
Approximately $27 million of the Fairfield Inn proceeds was payable in the
form of a note from the purchaser.     
 
  In cases where the Company has made a decision to dispose of particular
properties, the Company assesses impairment of each individual property to be
sold on the basis of expected sales price less estimated costs of disposal.
Otherwise, the Company assesses impairment of its real estate properties based
on whether it is probable that undiscounted future cash flows from such
properties will be less than their net book value. If a property is impaired,
its basis is adjusted to its fair market value. In the second quarter of 1995,
the Company made a determination that its owned Courtyard and Residence Inn
properties were held for sale. While management expects to sell these
properties as part of one or more portfolios and has currently signed an
agreement to do so, the Company recorded a $10 million charge to write down
the carrying value of five individual Courtyard and Residence Inn properties
to their estimated net realizable values. The Company also recorded an $11
million charge in the fourth quarter of 1993 to write down 15 individual
Fairfield Inn properties to their net realizable value, although the overall
sales transaction generated a net gain.
 
  Capital Acquisitions, Additions and Improvements. The Company seeks to grow
primarily through opportunistic acquisitions of full-service hotels. The
Company believes that the full-service segment of the market offers
opportunities to acquire assets at attractive multiples of cash flow and at
discounts to replacement value, including under-performing hotels which can be
improved under new management. During 1995, the Company acquired nine hotels
totaling approximately 3,900 rooms in separate transactions for approximately
$390 million ($141 million of which was financed through first mortgage
financing on four of the hotels). Four of the nine acquisitions, totaling $223
million, were completed in the fourth quarter of 1995. During 1994, the
Company acquired 15 full-service hotels totaling approximately 6,100 rooms
(including one 199-room hotel subsequently sold in 1995) for approximately
$440 million. The Company also provided 100% financing totaling approximately
$35 million to an affiliated partnership, in which the Company owns the sole
general partner interest, for the acquisition of two full-service hotels
(totaling another 684 rooms) by the partnership. Additionally, the Company
acquired a controlling interest in one 662-room, full-service hotel through an
equity investment of $16 million and debt financing of $36 million (the debt
was subsequently sold in 1995). The Company considers all of these properties
as owned hotels for accounting purposes.
   
  During the first quarter of 1996, the Company acquired one full-service
hotel (374 rooms) for $25 million, controlling interests in three additional
properties (2,269 rooms) for approximately $66 million and an 83% interest in
the mortgage loans secured by a 250-room full-service property for $18
million. See "Business and Properties--1996 Acquisitions." The Company has
also entered into agreements to purchase two full-service properties (608
rooms) for approximately $52 million and a controlling interest in one full-
service property (400 rooms) for approximately $18 million. The Company is
continually engaged in discussions with respect to other potential acquisition
properties.     
 
  Under the terms of its management agreements, the Company is generally
required to spend approximately 5% of gross hotel sales to cover the capital
needs of the properties, including major guest room and common
 
                                      32
<PAGE>
 
area renovations which occur every five to six years. The Company anticipates
spending approximately $75 million to $80 million annually on the renovation
and refurbishment of the Company's existing lodging properties.
 
  The Company completed the construction of the 1,200-room Philadelphia
Marriott Hotel, which opened on January 27, 1995. The construction costs of
this hotel were funded 60% through a loan from Marriott International ($109
million outstanding at December 29, 1995). Construction of a second hotel in
Philadelphia, the 419-room Philadelphia Airport Marriott Hotel (the "Airport
Hotel"), also was completed and opened on November 1, 1995. The Airport Hotel
was financed principally with $40 million of proceeds from an industrial
development bond financing. The Company also is constructing a 300-room
Residence Inn in Arlington, Virginia, scheduled for completion in early 1996.
Capital expenditures for these three hotels totaled $64 million in 1995, $104
million in 1994 and $60 million in 1993. The Company anticipates spending
approximately $7 million in 1996 to complete construction of the Pentagon City
Residence Inn in Arlington, Virginia.
 
  Debt Payments. At December 29, 1995, the parent company is obligated on
approximately $262 million of recourse debt (which has been classified as
"debt carrying a parent company guarantee of repayment"), including $22
million outstanding under the New Line of Credit. Required amortization of
these obligations is generally limited to $172 million over the next five
years.
 
  The remainder of the Company's debt, approximately $1,916 million at
December 29, 1995, is secured by specific hotel properties or has recourse
limited to certain subsidiaries of the Company, and has been classified as
"debt not carrying a parent company guarantee." Payments on a large portion of
this debt generally come from the specific cash flows generated by the assets
securing the debt. Maturities over the next five years total $375 million, a
substantial portion ($302 million) of which represents the maturity of the
mortgage on the New York Marriott Marquis in 1998.
 
  The Company repaid certain indebtedness (with a principal balance of $87
million) upon its maturity on May 24, 1995 with a draw on its line of credit
with Marriott International. Additionally, and pursuant to the then-existing
indenture, senior notes issued by Hospitality were required to be repaid to
the extent of 50% to 75% of net proceeds from certain asset sales (at par) and
100% of net refinancing proceeds (generally at 103% of the principal amount).
Based on net proceeds from qualifying asset sales for the first quarter of
1995, the Company redeemed $100 million of Hospitality bonds in the second
quarter of 1995.
 
  The Company currently is party to eight interest rate exchange agreements
with an aggregate notional amount of $545 million. These agreements are with
Citibank, N.A., New York, Salomon Brothers and the Industrial Bank of Japan
Trust Company (the "Contracting Parties"). Under certain of these agreements
aggregating $400 million, the Company pays interest based on the specified
floating rates of three- and six-month LIBOR (average rate of 5.6% at December
29, 1995) and collects interest at fixed rates (average rate of 7.1% at
December 29, 1995) through May 1997. Under the remaining agreements
aggregating $145 million, the Company collects interest based on specified
floating interest rates of one month LIBOR (rate of 6.1% at December 29, 1995)
and pays interest at fixed rates (average rate of 6.4% at December 29, 1995).
These agreements expire in 1996 through 1998. The Company realized a net
reduction of interest expense of $5 million in 1995, $11 million in 1994 and
$21 million in 1993 related to interest rate exchange agreements. The Company
monitors the creditworthiness of the 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 all BBB+ or better. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the
event of non-performance by the Contracting Parties; however, the Company does
not anticipate non-performance by the Contracting Parties.
 
  Cash Flows. The Company's cash flow from continuing operations in 1995, 1994
and 1993 totaled $110 million, $75 million and $335 million, respectively.
 
  The Company's cash used in investing activities from continuing operations
in 1995, 1994 and 1993 totaled $156 million, $135 million and $201 million,
respectively. Cash from investing activities primarily consists of
 
                                      33
<PAGE>
 
net proceeds from the sales of certain assets, offset by the acquisition of
hotel and other real estate assets and other capital expenditures previously
discussed.
 
  The Company's cash from financing activities from continuing operations was
$204 million for 1995 and $24 million in 1994 and cash used in financing
activities from continuing operations was $389 million for 1993. The Company's
cash from financing activities primarily consists of the proceeds from equity
and debt offerings, borrowings under the line of credit with Marriott
International and the Revolver, mortgage financing on certain acquired hotels,
offset by redemptions and payments on senior notes, the line of credit with
Marriott International, the Revolver and other scheduled principal payments.
 
  Lodging Properties Formerly Held For Sale. Prior to the Marriott
International Distribution, the Company developed and sold lodging properties
to syndicated limited partnerships, while continuing to operate the properties
under long-term agreements. Those agreements provided the Company with
specified percentages of sales and operating profits as compensation for
operating the properties for the owners.
 
  Most lodging properties developed by the Company since the early 1980s were
reported as assets held for sale prior to 1992. The Company used this
classification because the sale of newly developed lodging properties, subject
to long-term operating agreements, was the principal method of financing the
Company's lodging property development during this period. Sales of such
properties also enabled the Company to transfer the risk of real estate
ownership. Most of these properties were in the Company's Courtyard, Fairfield
Inn and Residence Inn brands, and were sold in large groups with a balanced
geographical mix of properties of the same brand.
 
  In April 1992, as a result of continuing unfavorable conditions in the real
estate markets, the Company decided it was no longer appropriate to view such
sales of lodging properties as a primary means of long-term financing.
Accordingly, the Company discontinued classification of these properties as
assets held for sale.
 
  During the period the Company classified lodging properties as assets held
for sale, it determined the net realizable value of such assets on a property-
by-property basis in the case of full-service hotels, resorts and suites, and
on an aggregate basis, by brand, in the case of its limited service (i.e.,
Courtyard, Fairfield Inn and Residence Inn) lodging properties. On this basis,
the carrying value of these properties was not in excess of their net
realizable value based on estimated selling prices, although, as a result of
deteriorating market conditions, certain individual properties within a
limited service brand had carrying values in excess of their estimated selling
prices. In certain cases, these unrealized losses related to properties
constructed during 1990 and 1991 where total development and construction
costs exceeded net realizable value. Following the reclassification of these
properties, the Company assesses impairment of its owned real estate
properties based on whether it is probable that undiscounted future cash flows
from such properties will be less than their net book value.
 
  Beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 1993, under a new accounting
policy adopted by the Company, net realizable value of assets held for sale is
determined on a property-by-property basis as to all lodging properties,
whereas formerly such determination was made on an aggregate basis by hotel
brand as to Courtyard properties, Fairfield Inns and Residence Inns. The
after-tax cumulative effect of this change on years prior to 1993 of $32
million was recorded in the quarter ended June 18, 1993. The reduction in the
annual depreciation charge as a result of this change did not have a material
effect on 1993 results of operations.
 
  Partnership Activities. The Company serves as general partner or the
managing general partner of numerous limited partnerships which own 262 hotels
as of December 29, 1995 managed by Marriott International. Debt of the hotel
limited partnerships is typically secured by first mortgages on the properties
and is generally nonrecourse to the partnership and the partners. However, the
Company has committed to advance amounts to these affiliated limited
partnerships, if necessary, to cover certain future debt service requirements.
Such commitments were limited, in the aggregate, to $173 million at December
29, 1995. Subsequent to year end, such maximum commitment was reduced to $128
million. Net funding under these guarantees amounted to $8 million in 1995 and
$2 million for 1994.
 
  Leases. The Company leases certain property and equipment under
noncancelable operating leases, including the long-term ground leases for
certain hotels, generally with multiple renewal options. The leases
 
                                      34
<PAGE>
 
related to the 37 Courtyard properties sold during 1995 contain provisions for
the payment of contingent rentals based on a percentage of sales in excess of
stipulated amounts. The Company remains contingently liable on certain leases
related to divested non-lodging properties. Management considers the
likelihood of any substantial funding related to these divested properties'
leases to be remote.
 
  Inflation. The Company's lodging properties are impacted by inflation
through its effect on increasing costs and on the managers' ability to
increase room rates. Unlike other real estate, hotels have the ability to
change room rates on a daily basis, so the impact of higher inflation
generally can be passed on to customers.
 
  A substantial portion of the Company's debt bears interest at fixed rates.
This debt structure largely mitigates the impact of changes in the rate of
inflation on future interest costs. However, the Company currently is exposed
to variable interest rates through four interest rate exchange agreements with
an aggregate notional amount of $400 million. These agreements are with
Citibank, N.A., New York and Salomon Brothers. Under these agreements, the
Company pays interest based on the specified floating rates of three- and six-
month LIBOR (average rate of 5.6% at December 29, 1995) and collects interest
at fixed rates (average rate of 7.1% at December 29, 1995) through May 1997.
In addition, outstanding borrowings under the New Line of Credit ($22 million
as of December 29, 1995) bear interest based on variable rates. Accordingly,
the amount of the Company's interest expense under the interest rate swap
agreements and the floating rate debt will be affected by changes in short-
term interest rates.
 
  Accounting Standards. In the first quarter of 1995, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." Adoption of SFAS
No. 114 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
 
  Effective September 9, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of." The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have any effect on the
Company's continuing operations. See the discussion below for a discussion of
the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 121 on discontinued operations.
 
   SFAS No. 121 requires that an impairment loss be recognized when the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted estimated
future cash flows associated with the asset. Under SFAS No. 121, the Company
reviewed the impairment of its assets employed in its operating group business
lines (airport, toll plaza and sports and entertainment) on an individual
operating unit basis. For each individual operating unit determined to be
impaired, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying
value and the fair market value of the unit's assets was recognized. Fair
market value was estimated to be the present value of expected future cash
flows of the individual operating unit, as determined by management, after
considering such factors as future air travel and toll-pay vehicle data and
inflation. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 121, the Company recognized
a non-cash, pretax charge against earnings during the fourth quarter 1995 of
$47 million, which has been reflected in discontinued operations.

                            BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
 
GENERAL
 
  Host Marriott Corporation (the "Company") is one of the largest owners of
lodging properties in the world. The Company owned 90 lodging properties as of
December 29, 1995, which are generally operated under Marriott brands and
managed by Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott International"), formerly a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Marriott brand name is among the
most respected and widely recognized brand names in the lodging industry. The
Company's primary focus is on the acquisition of full-service lodging
properties. During 1994 and 1995, the Company has added 27 full-service hotels
(including one 199-room hotel subsequently sold in December 1995) representing
approximately 11,300 rooms for an aggregate of approximately $915 million,
bringing the Company's total full-service hotels to 55 at December 29, 1995.
Based on data provided by Smith Travel Research, the Company believes that its
full-service hotels consistently outperform the industry's average occupancy
rate by a significant margin and averaged 75.5% occupancy for 1995 compared to
68.2% average occupancy for the upscale full-service segment of the lodging
industry (the segment which is most representative of the Company's full-
service hotels).
 
  The lodging industry as a whole, and the full-service hotel segment in
particular, is benefiting from an improved supply and demand relationship in
the United States. Based on data provided by Smith Travel Research, the
Company believes that demand for rooms in the upscale segment, as measured by
annual domestic occupied room nights, increased 3.3% in 1993, 3.0% in 1994 and
2.4% in 1995. Management believes that recent demand increases have resulted
primarily from an improved economic environment and a corresponding increase
in business travel. In spite of increased demand for rooms, the room supply
growth rate in the full service segment has greatly diminished. Management
believes that this decrease in the supply growth rate is attributable to many
factors including the limited availability of attractive building sites for
full-service hotels, the lack of available financing for new full-service
hotel construction and the availability of existing full-service properties
for sale at a discount to their replacement value. Due to the relatively high
occupancy rates of the Company's hotels, the limited supply of new rooms and
the recent increase in business travel, the managers of the Company's hotels
have increased its average daily room rates primarily by replacing certain
discounted group business with higher-rated group and transient business and
by selectively increasing room rates. As a result, on a comparable basis, room
revenues per available room ("REVPAR") for full-service properties increased
approximately 7% in 1995. Furthermore, because lodging property operations
have a high fixed cost component, increases in REVPAR generally yield greater
percentage increases in operating profit. Accordingly, the approximate 7%
increase in REVPAR resulted in a 25% increase in comparable full-service hotel
operating profit in 1995. The Company expects this supply/demand imbalance,
particularly in the upscale full-service segment (the segment which is most
representative of the Company's full-service hotels), to continue, which
should result in improved REVPAR and operating profits at its hotel properties
in the near term.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
  The Company's business strategy continues to focus on opportunistic
acquisitions of full-service urban, convention and resort hotels primarily in
the United States. The Company believes that the full-service segment of the
market offers numerous opportunities to acquire assets at attractive multiples
of cash flow and at substantial discounts to replacement value, including
underperforming hotels which can be improved by conversion to the Marriott
brand. The Company believes this segment is very promising because:
 
  . There is virtually no new supply of upscale full-service hotel rooms
    currently under construction. According to Smith Travel Research, from
    1988 to 1990, upscale full-service room supply increased an average of
    approximately 5% annually, which resulted in an oversupply of rooms in
    the industry. However, this growth slowed to an average of approximately
    1.7% from 1990 to 1995. Management believes that the lead time from
    conception to completion of a full-service hotel is generally five years
    or more in the types of markets the Company is principally pursuing,
    which will contribute to the continued low growth of supply. According to
    Coopers & Lybrand, hotel supply in the upscale full-service segment
 
                                      36
<PAGE>
 
   is expected to grow annually at 1.8% to 1.9% through 1998. Furthermore,
   because of the prolonged lead time for construction of new full-service
   hotels, management believes that growth in the full-service segment will
   continue to be limited at least through 2000.
 
  . Many desirable hotel properties are held by inadvertent owners such as
    banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions which are
    motivated and willing sellers. The Company has acquired several
    properties from these inadvertent owners at significant discounts to
    replacement cost.
 
  . Management believes that there are numerous opportunities to improve the
    performance of acquired hotels by replacing the existing hotel manager
    with Marriott International and converting the hotels to the Marriott
    brand. Nine of the 27 full-service hotels added in 1994 and 1995 were
    converted to the Marriott brand following their acquisition. These
    conversion properties (excluding the Marriott World Trade Center which
    was only partially open during 1995) experienced a 66.5% average
    occupancy rate during 1995 compared to an average occupancy rate of 75.5%
    for all of the Company's full-service hotels. The Company believes these
    nine conversion properties will experience improved operations as a
    result of increases in occupancy and room rates as the properties begin
    to benefit from Marriott's brand recognition, reservation system and
    group sales organization. The Company intends to pursue additional full
    service hotel acquisitions, some of which may be conversion
    opportunities.
 
  The Company holds minority interests and serves as general partner in
various partnerships that own, as of December 29, 1995, an aggregate of 262
additional hotel properties, 42 of which are full-service properties, managed
by Marriott International. Four of the properties added by the Company in the
last two years were held by a partnership in which the Company holds a
minority interest. As opportunities arise, the Company will consider the
acquisition of additional full-service hotels currently held by such
partnerships.
 
  The Company intends to continue actively to increase its full-service hotel
portfolio. In carrying out this strategy, the Company evaluates each
opportunity on an individual basis and may from time to time elect to acquire
controlling interests in a hotel joint venture, rather than pursue the
outright acquisition of a property, when it believes its return on investment
will be maximized by so doing. The Company may make acquisitions directly or
through its subsidiaries depending on a variety of factors, including the
existence of debt, the form of investment, the restrictions and requirements
of its bond indentures and the availability of funds.
   
  The Company believes it is well qualified to pursue its acquisition
strategy. Management has extensive experience in acquiring and financing
lodging properties and believes its industry knowledge, relationships and
access to market information provide a competitive advantage with respect to
identifying, evaluating and acquiring hotel assets. In addition, the Company
is well positioned to convert acquired properties to high-quality lodging
brand names due to its relationship with Marriott International. For a
description of the Company's relationship with Marriott International, see
"Relationship Between the Company and Marriott International."     
 
  During 1994, the Company acquired 15 full-service hotels totaling
approximately 6,100 rooms (including the Springfield Radisson Hotel, a 199-
room hotel subsequently sold in 1995) for approximately $440 million. The
Company also provided 100% financing totaling approximately $35 million to an
affiliated partnership, in which the Company owns the sole general partner
interest, for the acquisition of two full-service hotels (totaling 684 rooms).
Additionally, the Company acquired a controlling interest in one 662-room
full-service hotel through an equity investment of $16 million and debt
financing of $36 million (the debt was subsequently sold in 1995). In 1995,
the Company acquired nine full-service hotels totaling approximately 3,900
rooms in separate transactions for approximately $390 million. The Company
considers all of these properties as owned hotels for accounting purposes.
   
  In 1996, through the date hereof, the Company has acquired one full-service
hotel (374 rooms) for approximately $25 million, controlling interests in
three additional properties (2,269 rooms), one of which is currently under
construction and is scheduled to be completed during the third quarter of
1996, for a total investment of approximately $66 million and an 83% interest
in the mortgage loans secured by a 250-room full-service property for $18
million. The Company has also entered into agreements to purchase two full-
service properties (608 rooms) for approximately $52 million and a controlling
interest in one full-service property (400 rooms) for approximately $18
million.     
 
                                      37
<PAGE>
 
   
  As of December 29, 1995, the Company also owned 17 Courtyard and 18
Residence Inn properties. In February 1996, the Company entered into an
agreement with the REIT (as defined herein) to sell and lease back 16
Courtyard properties and 18 Residence Inns (comprising the Pending
Dispositions) for $349 million (10% of which will be deferred). The Pending
Dispositions should be completed in the first and second quarters of 1996 and
the Company intends to reinvest the proceeds in the acquisition of full-
service lodging properties.     
 
  Consistent with its strategy of focusing on the full-service segment of the
lodging industry, the Company sold 26 of its 30 Fairfield Inns and all of its
14 senior living communities in 1994. In addition, the Company sold (subject
to a lease back) 37 Courtyard properties for approximately $330 million to the
REIT in 1995. Ten percent of the sale amount of the Courtyard transactions was
deferred. In 1995, the Company also sold its remaining four Fairfield Inns for
net proceeds of approximately $6 million and the Springfield Radisson Hotel
(which was acquired by the Company as part of a portfolio of lodging
properties in 1994) for net proceeds of approximately $3 million. Management
believes that all of these sales were made at valuations that were attractive
to the Company.
 
  Subsequent to the Special Dividend, the Company's assets principally consist
of hotel lodging properties, real estate partnership investments, and
undeveloped and leased land assets.
 
HOTEL LODGING INDUSTRY
 
  The lodging industry as a whole, and the full-service segment in particular,
is benefiting from a cyclical recovery as well as a shift in the supply/demand
relationship with supply relatively flat and demand strengthening. The lodging
industry posted strong gains in revenues and profits in 1995, as demand growth
continued to outpace additions to supply. Based on Coopers & Lybrand data, the
Company expects hotel room supply growth to remain limited through 1998 and
for the forseeable future thereafter. Accordingly, the Company believes this
supply/demand imbalance will result in improving occupancy and room rates
which should result in improved REVPAR and operating profit.
 
  Following a period of significant overbuilding in the mid-to-late 1980s, the
lodging industry experienced a severe downturn. Since 1991, new hotel
construction, excluding casino-related construction, has been modest, largely
offset by the number of rooms taken out of service each year. Due to an
increase in travel and an improving economy, hotel occupancy has grown
steadily over the past several years, and room rates recently have begun to
improve. According to Coopers & Lybrand, room demand for upscale full-service
properties (full-service hotels with average daily rates generally falling
between the 70th and 80th percentile in their market) is expected to grow
approximately 2.4% annually through 1998. Increased room demand should result
in increases in hotel occupancy and room rates. According to Smith Travel
Research, upscale full-service occupancy grew in 1995 to 68.2%, while room
rate growth exceeded inflation for the third straight year. Based on Coopers &
Lybrand data, the Company expects these recent trends to continue, with
overall occupancy climbing to approximately 70% by 1998, and room rates
increasing at more than one-and-one-half times the rate of inflation in each
of the next three years.
   
  While room demand has been rising, new hotel supply growth has slowed. Smith
Travel Research data shows that, from 1988 to 1990, upscale full-service room
supply increased an average of approximately 5% annually. According to Smith
Travel Research, this growth slowed to an approximate 1.7% average annual
growth rate from 1990 through 1995. Through 1998, upscale full-service room
supply growth is expected to increase to approximately 1.8% annually,
according to Coopers & Lybrand. The increase in room demand and slow down in
growth of new hotel supply has also led to increased room rates. According to
Coopers & Lybrand, room rates for such hotels are expected to grow
approximately 4% to 5% annually through 1998.     
 
  As a result of the overbuilding in the mid-to-late 1980s, many full-service
hotels built have not performed as originally planned. Cash flow has often not
covered debt service requirements, causing lenders (e.g., banks, insurance
companies, and savings and loans) to foreclose and become "inadvertent owners"
who are motivated
 
                                      38
<PAGE>
 
to sell these assets. In the Company's experience to date, these sellers have
been primarily United States financial organizations. The Company believes
that numerous international financial institutions are also inadvertent owners
of lodging properties and expects that there will be increased opportunities
to acquire lodging properties from international financial institutions. While
the interest of inadvertent owners to sell has created attractive acquisition
opportunities with strong current yields, the lack of supply growth and
increasing room night demand should contribute to higher long-term returns on
invested capital. Given the relatively long lead time to develop urban,
convention and resort hotels, as well as the lack of project financing,
management believes the growth in room supply in this segment will be limited
for an extended period of time.
 
HOTEL LODGING PROPERTIES
 
  The Company's hotel lodging properties represent quality assets in the full-
service and limited-service (moderate-price and extended-stay) lodging
segments. All but three of the Company's hotel properties are operated under
Marriott brand names, each of which achieved favorable operating results
relative to competing hotels in their respective market segments. The three
hotels (representing an aggregate of 527 rooms, or approximately 2% of the
Company's total rooms) that do not carry the Marriott brand have not been
converted to the Marriott brand due to their size, quality and/or contractual
commitments which would not permit such conversion.
 
  The following table sets forth information as of December 29, 1995 regarding
the hotel properties that comprise the Company's lodging portfolio.

  One commonly used indicator of market performance for hotels is revenue per
available room, or REVPAR, which measures daily room revenues generated on a
per room basis. This does not include food and beverage or other ancillary
revenues generated by the property. REVPAR represents the combination of the
average daily room rate charged and the average daily occupancy achieved. Each
of the Company's lodging concepts reported annual increases in REVPAR from
1993 to 1995.
 
  To maintain the overall quality of the Company's lodging properties, each
property undergoes refurbishments and capital improvements on a regularly
scheduled basis. Typically, refurbishing has been provided at intervals of
five years, based on an annual review of the condition of each property. For
1995 and 1994, the Company spent $56 million and $54 million, respectively, on
capital improvements to existing properties. As a result of these
expenditures, the Company has been able to maintain high quality rooms at its
properties.
 
  Hotels, Resorts and Suites. As of December 29, 1995, the Company's full-
service hotels included 52 Marriott-branded hotels, resorts, and suites, and
three other hotel brands offering similar amenities. The Company's full-
service hotels generally contain from 300 to 600 rooms, and the Company's
convention hotels are larger and contain up to 1,900 rooms. Hotel facilities
typically include meeting and banquet facilities, a variety of restaurants and
lounges, swimming pools, gift shops, and parking facilities. The Company's
full-service hotels primarily serve business and pleasure travelers and group
meetings at locations in downtown and
 
                                      39
<PAGE>
 
suburban areas, near airports and at resort locations throughout the United
States. The average age of the full-service properties is 14 years, several of
which have had substantial renovations or major additions.
 
  The Company believes that its hotels consistently outperform the industry's
average REVPAR growth rates. On a comparable basis, REVPAR increased 7.3% for
1995, as compared to a REVPAR increase of 4.9% for the upscale full-service
segment of the lodging industry for 1995. Due to the relatively high occupancy
rates of the Company's hotels, the limited supply of new rooms and the recent
increase in business travel, the managers of the Company's hotels have
increased average room rates by replacing certain discounted group business
with higher-rated group and transient business and by selectively increasing
room rates. The Company believes that these favorable REVPAR growth trends
should continue due to the limited new construction of full-service properties
and the expected improvements from the conversion of nine properties to the
Marriott brand in 1994 and 1995.

  Revenues in 1995 for nearly all of the Company's full-service hotels,
resorts and suites were improved or comparable to 1994. This improvement was
achieved through steady increases in customer demand, as well as yield
management techniques applied by the managers to maximize REVPAR on a
property-by-property basis.
 
  A number of the Company's full-service hotel acquisitions were converted to
the Marriott brand upon acquisition. The conversion of these properties to the
Marriott brand is intended to increase occupancy and room rates as a result of
Marriott International's nationwide marketing and reservation systems as well
as customer recognition of the Marriott brand name. In connection with the
conversion of these properties, the Company employed, or will employ,
additional capital to upgrade these properties to the Company's and the new
 
                                      40
<PAGE>
 
managers' standards. The invested capital with respect to these properties is
primarily used for the improvement of common areas as well as upgrading soft
and hard goods (i.e., carpets, drapes, paint, furniture and additional
amenities). The conversion process typically causes periods of disruption to
these properties as selected rooms
and common areas are temporarily taken out of service. The conversion
properties are already showing improvements as the benefits of Marriott
International's marketing and reservation programs and customer service
initiatives take hold.The Company actively manages these conversions and, in
many cases, has worked closely with the manager to selectively invest in
enhancements to the physical product to make the property more attractive to
guests or more efficient to operate.
 
  The Company's and the managers' focus is on maximizing profitability
throughout the portfolio by concentrating on key objectives. These key
objectives include evaluating marginal restaurant operations, exiting low rate
airline room contracts in strengthening markets, reducing property-level
overhead by sharing management positions with other managed hotels in the
vicinity and selectively making additional investments where favorable
incremental returns are expected. These objectives, while principally manager-
initiated, have the Company's strong support, and the Company seeks to ensure
their prompt implementation wherever practical.
 
  The Company and its managers will continue to focus on cost control, such as
the sharing of managerial and administrative functions among hotels in close
proximity to each other, in an attempt to ensure that hotel sales increases
serve to maximize house and operating profit. While control of fixed costs
serves to improve profit margins as hotel sales increase, it also results in
more properties reaching financial performance levels that allow the managers
to share in the growth of profits in the form of incentive management fees.
The Company believes this strengthens the alignment of the Company's and the
managers' interests.
 
  During 1995, the Company completed construction of the Philadelphia Marriott
Hotel (1,200 rooms; opened in January 1995), which is the largest hotel in
Pennsylvania, and recently completed the construction of the Philadelphia
Airport Hotel (419 rooms; opened in November 1995). The Philadelphia Marriott
Hotel was financed, in part, by a mortgage loan provided by Marriott
International. The Philadelphia Airport Hotel has been largely financed
through the issuance of $40 million of industrial revenue bonds.
 
  Courtyard Hotels. The Company's Courtyard properties are moderate-priced,
limited-service hotels aimed at individual business and pleasure travelers, as
well as families. Courtyard hotels typically have approximately 150 rooms at
locations in suburban areas or near airports throughout the United States. The
Courtyard properties include well-landscaped grounds, a courtyard with a pool
and socializing areas. Each hotel features meeting rooms and a restaurant and
lounge with approximately 80 seats. The Courtyard hotels owned by the Company
are among the newest in the Courtyard hotel system, averaging only five years
old. The Company's Courtyard properties have substantially matured and are
operating at exceptionally high occupancy rates. The Company believes this
competitive position will enable the manager to continue to improve
profitability by adjusting the mix of business to build room rates. The chart
below sets forth comparable performance information for the Company's owned
and leased Courtyard properties:

  The Company's Courtyard properties benefited in 1995 from higher demand.
REVPAR increased almost 8% due to increases in room rates of over 7% and a
small occupancy increase. House profit margins also increased by almost two
percentage points, reflecting the operating leverage inherent in properties
already running at close to capacity.
 
                                      41

  The Company's Courtyard properties were generally fully occupied during the
business week and enjoyed high occupancies during the weekends. The Company
believes this competitive position will enable the manager to continue to
improve profitability through yield management and selective room rate
increases.
   
  During the first and third quarters of 1995, 37 of the Company's Courtyard
properties were sold to and leased back from the REIT. In February 1996, the
Company entered into an agreement with the REIT to sell and lease back 16 of
the Company's remaining Courtyard properties for approximately $176 million
(10% of which would be deferred). The transaction is expected to close in the
first and second quarters of 1996. The Company will retain its downtown
Chicago, Illinois Courtyard.     
   
  Residence Inns. The Company's Residence Inns are extended-stay, limited-
service hotels which cater primarily to business and family travelers who stay
more than five consecutive nights. Residence Inns typically have 80 to 130
studio and two-story penthouse suites. Residence Inns generally are located in
suburban settings throughout the United States and feature a series of
residential style buildings with landscaped walkways, courtyards and
recreational areas. Residence Inns do not have restaurants, but offer
complimentary continental breakfast. In addition, most Residence Inns provide
a complimentary evening hospitality hour. Each suite contains a fully equipped
kitchen, and many suites have woodburning fireplaces. The 18 Residence Inns
owned by the Company are among the newest in the Residence Inn system,
averaging only five years old. The table below sets forth performance
information for such Inns for the periods presented. The following table
excludes information with respect to the 11 Residence Inns that are no longer
consolidated with the Company as of December 31, 1993.

</TABLE>
 
  For 1995, the Company's Residence Inns performed well with advances in room
rates of 7%, while also increasing occupancy by one percentage point.
Continued popularity of this product with customers combined with increasing
business travel resulted in superior performance for 1995. At an average
occupancy rate of 86.6% for 1995, these properties were near full occupancy
during the business week and enjoyed high occupancies during the weekends.
Given this strong demand, the Company's Residence Inns were able to improve
room rates through managing their mix of business.
   
  During 1993, the Company sold the majority of its equity interest in a
partnership owning 11 Residence Inns. The Company is currently constructing
one additional 300-room property in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, near
National Airport, just outside of Washington, D.C., which is scheduled for
completion in the second quarter of 1996.     
   
  In February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with the REIT to
sell and lease back 18 of the Company's Residence Inns for approximately $172
million (10% of which would be deferred). The transaction is expected to close
in the first and second quarters of 1996. The Company will retain the Pentagon
City Residence Inn.     
 
MARKETING
 
  All but six of the Company's hotel properties, at December 29, 1995, are
managed by Marriott International as Marriott-brand hotels. Three of the six
remaining hotels are operated as Marriott brand hotels under franchise
agreements with Marriott International. The Company believes that its lodging
properties will continue to enjoy competitive advantages arising from their
participation in the Marriott International hotel systems. Marriott
International's nationwide marketing programs and reservation systems as well
as the advantage of increasing
 
                                      42
<PAGE>
 
customer preference for Marriott brands should also help these properties to
maintain or increase their premium over competitors in both occupancy and room
rates. Repeat guest business in the Marriott hotel system is enhanced by the
Marriott Honored Guest Awards program. As other hotel chains eliminate or
scale back awards for their frequent stay programs, Marriott Honored Guest
Awards and its companion program, Marriott Miles, continue to expand, and now
include more than 6.4 million members.
 
  The Marriott reservation system was upgraded significantly in 1994 giving
Marriott reservation agents complete descriptions of the rooms available for
sale, and more up-to-date rate information from the properties. The
reservation system also features improved connectivity to airline reservation
systems, providing travel agents with greater access to available rooms
inventory for all Marriott lodging properties. In addition, new software at
Marriott's centralized reservations centers enables agents to immediately
identify the nearest Marriott brand property with available rooms when a
caller's first choice is sold out.
 
PROPERTIES
 
  The following table sets forth certain information relating to each of the
Company's hotels grouped by lodging concept. All of the properties are
operated under Marriott brands by Marriott International, unless otherwise
indicated. The land on which the hotel is built is fee owned by the Company
unless otherwise indicated.

1996 ACQUISITIONS
 
  In January 1996, the Company acquired a controlling interest in the 1,355-
room San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina through a restructuring of two
limited partnerships which previously owned the hotel. The Company previously
owned 5% general partner interests in each of the limited partnerships, and
through a capital contribution of $10 million, became the managing general
partner with a total general and limited partnership interest of 51% in one
restructured partnership which now owns the San Diego Marriott Hotel and
Marina.
 
  In February 1996, the Company also acquired a controlling interest in two
hotels for $56 million in Mexico City, Mexico totaling 914 rooms. One of the
hotels is currently operating and the other hotel is currently under
construction and scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 1996. The
hotels will be owned by a venture which includes the Company, Marriott
International, which will manage the hotels, and the seller of the hotels.
 
  In addition, the Company acquired the 374-room Toronto Delta Meadowvale for
approximately $25 million in February 1996. The hotel is currently managed by
Interstate Hotel Corporation ("Interstate").
   
  Also in February 1996, the Company purchased an 83% interest in the mortgage
loans securing the 250-room Newport Beach Marriott Suites for $18 million.
    
PENDING ACQUISITIONS
   
  During 1996 through the date hereof, the Company has entered into agreements
to purchase two full-service properties, the Washington Dulles Marriott Suites
(254 rooms) and the Oklahoma City Marriott (354 rooms) and a controlling
interest in one full-service property, the Pittsburgh Hyatt (400 rooms).
Management anticipates that such acquisitions will be consummated in the first
and second quarters of 1996.     
   
  The Company expects that the Pittsburgh Hyatt will be acquired for
approximately $18.5 million by a limited partnership, of which a subsidiary of
the Company would be the sole general partner. The Company would own a 95%
interest in this limited partnership and would contribute approximately $17.5
million to the limited partnership to fund the acquisition of the Pittsburgh
Hyatt. Interstate would manage the Pittsburgh Hyatt and contribute
approximately $1 million to the limited partnership for the acquisition of the
hotel. Management anticipates that the Pittsburgh Hyatt will be converted to
the Marriott brand at a cost of approximately $7 million during 1996. There
was a dispute between the seller and the manager of the Pittsburgh Hyatt
concerning the termination of the manager which was settled. The settlement
provides for the manager to vacate the premises on the scheduled closing date
of April 1, 1996, after which time the hotel will be closed for renovations in
preparation for conversion to the Marriott brand. In the unlikely event that
Hyatt does not vacate the premises prior to the scheduled closing, the closing
could be delayed.     
 
  The Pending Acquisitions are subject to certain conditions, including
customary due diligence and other closing conditions, and no assurance can be
given that the transactions will be consummated or, if consummated, that the
transactions will be consummated at the time or on the terms currently
contemplated. In addition to the Pending Acquisitions discussed above, the
Company intends to pursue expansion opportunities through the acquisition of
other full-service lodging properties.
 
PENDING DISPOSITIONS
   
  During February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with the REIT to
sell and lease back 16 Courtyard properties and 18 Residence Inns for $349
million. Ten percent of the sales price for such properties is deferred. The
Company expects to complete the sale in the first and second quarters of 1996
and to invest the proceeds in the acquisition of full-service lodging
properties.     
 
                                      45
<PAGE>
 
INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED PARTNERSHIPS
 
  The Company and certain of its subsidiaries also manage the Company's
partnership investments and conduct the partnership services business. As
such, the Company and/or its subsidiaries own an equity investment in, and
serve as the general partner or managing general partner for, 30 partnerships
which collectively own 42 Marriott full-service hotels, 120 Courtyard hotels,
50 Residence Inns and 50 Fairfield Inns. In addition, the Company holds notes
receivable (net of reserves) from partnerships totaling approximately $170
million at December 29, 1995.
 
  As the managing general partner, the Company and its subsidiaries are
responsible for the day-to-day management of partnership operations, which
includes payment of partnership obligations from partnership funds,
preparation of financial reports and tax returns and communications with
lenders, limited partners and regulatory bodies. The Company or its subsidiary
is usually reimbursed for the cost of providing these services.
 
  Hotel properties owned by the partnerships generally were acquired from the
Company or its subsidiaries in connection with limited partnership offerings.
These hotel properties are currently operated under management agreements with
Marriott International. As the managing general partner of such partnerships,
the Company or its subsidiaries oversee and monitor Marriott International's
performance pursuant to these agreements.
 
  The Company's interests in these partnerships range from 1% to 50%. Cash
distributions provided from these partnerships are tied to the overall
performance of the underlying properties and the overall level of debt owed by
the partnership. Partnership distributions to the Company were $3 million for
1995, $4 million in 1994 and $6 million in 1993. All partnership debt is
nonrecourse to the Company and its subsidiaries, except that the Company is
contingently liable under various guarantees of debt obligations of certain of
these partnerships. Such commitments are limited in the aggregate to $173
million at December 29, 1995. Subsequent to year end, such maximum commitment
was reduced to approximately $128 million. In most cases, fundings of such
guarantees represent loans to the respective partnerships.
 
COMPETITION
 
  The cyclical nature of the U.S. lodging industry has been demonstrated over
the past two decades. Low hotel profitability during the 1974-75 recession led
to a prolonged slump in new construction and, over time, high occupancy rates
and real price increases in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Changes in tax and
banking laws during the early 1980s precipitated a construction boom that
created an oversupply of hotel rooms. The Company expects the U.S. upscale
full-service hotel supply/demand imbalance to continue to improve over the
next few years as room demand continues to grow and room supply growth is
expected to be minimal, in particular in the full-service segment.
 
  The Company's hotels compete with several other major lodging brands in each
segment in which they operate. Competition in the industry is based primarily
on the level of service, quality of accommodations, convenience of locations
and room rates. The following table presents key participants in segments of
the lodging industry in which the Company competes:

OTHER REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
 
  The Company currently owns 38 undeveloped parcels of vacant land, totaling
approximately 250 acres, originally purchased primarily for the development of
hotels or senior living communities. The Company sold
 
                                      46
<PAGE>
 
13 parcels during 1995 for proceeds of approximately $10 million. The Company
may sell its remaining undeveloped parcels from time to time when market
conditions are favorable. Some of the properties may be developed as part of a
long-term strategy to realize the maximum value of these parcels. The Company
also has lease and sublease activity relating primarily to its former
restaurant operations.
 
  In addition, the Company owns a 174-acre parcel of undeveloped land in
Germantown, Maryland, zoned for commercial office building development. The
site was originally purchased in the 1980's for a proposed new corporate
headquarters. Due to Company downsizing, plans for a new corporate
headquarters were dropped. The Company subsequently planned to develop the
site into an office project over an extended time period to recover its
investment, however, the continuing weakness of the real estate market in
Montgomery County, Maryland, has negatively impacted this development plan. In
the fourth quarter of 1995, management instituted a program to aggressively
liquidate certain non-income producing assets and to reinvest the proceeds in
the acquisition of full-service hotels. As part of this program, management
determined that the site will no longer be developed and instead has decided
to attempt to sell the property. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a
pretax charge of $60 million in the fourth quarter of 1995 to reduce the asset
to its estimated sales value.
 
SPECIAL DIVIDEND
 
  In addition to acquiring and owning hotels (the "Real Estate Group"), the
Company previously operated food, beverage and merchandise concessions at
airports, on tollroads and at stadiums and arenas and other tourist
attractions (the "Operating Group"). On December 29, 1995, the Company
distributed to its shareholders through a special dividend (the "Special
Dividend") all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Host Marriott
Services Corporation ("HM Services"), formerly a direct wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company which, as of the date of the Special Dividend, owned
and operated the Operating Group business. The Special Dividend provided
Company shareholders with one share of common stock of HM Services for every
five shares of Company Common Stock held by such shareholders on the record
date of December 22, 1995.
 
  The Special Dividend was designed to separate two types of businesses with
distinct financial, investment and operating characteristics and to allow each
business to adopt strategies and pursue objectives appropriate to its specific
needs. The Special Dividend (i) facilitates the development of employee
compensation programs custom-tailored to each business's operations, including
stock-based and other incentive programs, which will more directly reward
employees of each business based on the success of that business, (ii) enables
the management of each company to concentrate its attention and financial
resources on the core businesses of such company, and (iii) permits investors
to make more focused investment decisions based on the specific attributes of
each of the two businesses.
 
RELATIONSHIP WITH MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL; MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION
 
  Prior to October 8, 1993, the Company was named "Marriott Corporation." In
addition to conducting its existing Real Estate Group business and the
Operating Group business (which was recently distributed to shareholders
through the Special Dividend), Marriott Corporation engaged in lodging and
senior living services management, timeshare resort development and operation,
food service and facilities management and other contract services businesses
(the "Management Business"). On October 8, 1993, the Company completed the
Marriott International Distribution. Marriott International conducts the
Management Business as a separate publicly traded company.
 
  The Company and Marriott International have entered into agreements which
provide, among other things, for Marriott International to (i) manage lodging
properties owned or leased by the Company, (ii) advance up to $225 million to
the Company under a line of credit which matures in 1998, (iii) provide $109
million of first mortgage financing for the Philadelphia Marriott Hotel and
(iv) guarantee the Company's performance in connection with certain loans or
other obligations. See "Relationship Between the Company and Marriott
 
                                      47

International." The Company views its relationship with Marriott International
as providing various advantages, including access to high quality management
services, strong brand names and superior marketing and reservation systems.
    
  Marriott International has the right to purchase up to 20% of the voting
stock of the Company if certain events involving a change of control of the
Company occur. See "Purposes and Antitakeover Effects of Certain Provisions of
the Company Certificate and Bylaws and the Marriott International Purchase
Right--Marriott International Purchase Right."
 
EMPLOYEES
 
  The Company and its subsidiaries collectively have approximately 200
corporate employees, and approximately 600 other employees (primarily employed
at two of its non-U.S. hotels) which are covered by collective bargaining
agreements that are subject to review and renewal on a regular basis. The
Company believes that it has good relations with its unions and has not
experienced any material business interruptions as a result of labor disputes.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
  Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic
substances on, under or in such property. Such laws may impose liability
whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the
presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain
environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability
for release of asbestos-containing materials ("ACMs"), and third parties may
seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury
associated with exposure to released ACMs. Environmental laws also may impose
restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or business may be
operated, and these restrictions may require expenditures. In connection with
its current or prior ownership or operation of hotels, the Company may be
potentially liable for any such costs or liabilities. Although the Company is
currently not aware of any material environmental claims pending or threatened
against it, no assurance can be given that a material environmental claim will
not be asserted against the Company.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
   
  In September 1994, the Company and certain holders and purchasers of certain
of the Company's bonds (the "PPM Group") went to trial as a result of
litigation initiated by the PPM Group in response to the Marriott
International Distribution. In October 1994, the judge declared a mistrial
based on the inability of the jury to reach a verdict. In January 1995, the
judge granted the Company's motion for judgment in its favor on the PPM
Group's claims as a matter of law. An appeal was filed by the PPM Group in
February 1995, and the appeal was argued in February 1996. In March 1996, the
Company settled the litigation for a payment of $1.25 million, which
represented a small fraction of the costs expended by the PPM Group in
pursuing the litigation. The settlement leaves in place the trial court's
judgment in favor of the Company on all of the PPM Group's claims. The
settlement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition
and results of operations.     
 
  The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation incidental to
their businesses. Management believes that such litigation is not significant
and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations.

  RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND HM SERVICES AFTER THE SPECIAL DIVIDEND
 
  For the purpose of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between
the Company and HM Services after the Special Dividend and to provide
mechanisms for an orderly transition, the Company and HM Services have entered
into various agreements, and have adopted policies, as described in this
section. The Company believes that the agreements are fair to both parties and
contain terms which generally are comparable to those which would have been
reached in arms-length negotiations with unaffiliated parties. In most cases
(such as the Distribution Agreement, the Tax Sharing Agreement and the
Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement) the agreements are comparable to those
used by others in similar situations. In each case, the terms of these
agreements have been reviewed by individuals who were then and are now at a
senior management level at the Company and by individuals who were then and
are now at a senior management level of HM Services.
 
DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
 
  Subject to certain exceptions, the HM Services Distribution Agreement (the
"HM Services Distribution Agreement") provides for, among other things,
assumptions of liabilities and cross-indemnities designed to allocate,
effective as of December 29, 1995, financial responsibility for the
liabilities arising out of or in connection with the business of the Operating
Group ("Operating Group Business") to HM Services and its subsidiaries, and
financial responsibility for the liabilities arising out of or in connection
with the business of the Real Estate Group ("Real Estate Group Business") to
the Company and its subsidiaries. Other agreements executed in connection with
the HM Services Distribution Agreement set forth certain specific allocations
of liabilities between the Company and HM Services. See "--Employee Benefits
and other Employment Matters," and "--Tax Sharing Agreement," below. Under the
HM Services Distribution Agreement, the Company retains all cash and cash
equivalent balances of HM Services and its subsidiaries, as of the close of
business on December 29, 1995, except for an amount equaling $25 million (the
"Initial Cash Amount"), which is subject to adjustments to reflect certain
restructuring costs, certain budgeted capital expenditures to be incurred by
the HM Services and cash maintained by HM Services at Schiphol Airport in
Amsterdam, Netherlands. The HM Services Distribution Agreement also provides
that HM Services will assume its proportionate share of the Company's current
obligation for certain employee benefit awards denominated in Host Marriott
Common Stock currently held by employees of Marriott International. The
Company and HM Services agreed to share the cost to Host Marriott of such
awards. HM Services may issue up to 1.7 million shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise or distribution of such awards. At the Company's option, HM
Services may satisfy this obligation by paying to the Company cash equal to
the value of such shares of HM Services common stock. Additionally, the
Company and HM Services have agreed to share the exercise price for options
comprising such awards.
 
  To avoid adversely affecting the intended tax consequences of the Special
Dividend and related transactions, the HM Services Distribution Agreement
provides that, until December 29, 1997, HM Services must obtain an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company or a supplemental tax ruling
before HM Services may make certain material dispositions of its assets,
engage in certain repurchases of HM Services capital stock or cease the active
conduct of its business independently, with its own employees and without
material changes. The Company must also obtain an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to HM Services or a supplemental tax ruling before the
Company may engage in similar transactions during such period. The Company
does not expect these limitations to inhibit significantly its operations,
growth opportunities or its ability to respond to unanticipated developments.
 
  On December 20, 1995, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 7.5 million shares of Host Marriott Common Stock (the "Warrants")
issued (or reserved for issuance) in connection with the settlement of
litigation brought by certain holders and purchasers of senior notes and
debentures of the Company. In connection with the HM Services Distribution,
the Warrants were adjusted such that, after December 29, 1995, each Warrant is
exercisable for one share of Host Marriott Common Stock and one fifth of a
share of HM Services common stock. The HM Services Distribution Agreement
provides that, upon notice to HM Services of the exercise of Warrants, HM
Services will issue to the exercising holder of the Warrants the
 
                                      49
<PAGE>
 
appropriate number of whole shares of HM Services common stock and, if
applicable, a check for the value of any fractional shares of HM Services
otherwise issuable in connection with such exercise; and HM Services will be
entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the exercise price (such pro rata
portion to be established by allocating the exercise price of the HM Services
common stock and the Host Marriott Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants in accordance with their relative values immediately following the
Special Dividend.)
 
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND OTHER EMPLOYMENT MATTERS
 
  The Company and HM Services entered into an Employee Benefits Allocation and
Other Employment Matters Agreement (the "Employee Benefits Allocation
Agreement") providing for the allocation of certain responsibilities with
respect to employee compensation, benefit and labor matters. The Employee
Benefits Allocation Agreement provides that, effective as of December 29,
1995, HM Services will assume or retain, as the case may be, all liabilities
of the Company, under employee benefit plans, policies, arrangements,
contracts and agreements, including under collective bargaining agreements,
with respect to employees who, on or after December 29, 1995, will be
employees of HM Services or its subsidiaries, including those former employees
employed by HM Services and its subsidiaries for whom the Company retained
such liabilities in connection with the Marriott International Distribution,
as defined below ("HM Services Employees"). The Employee Benefits Allocation
Agreement also provides that, effective as of December 29, 1995, the Company
will assume or retain, as the case may be, all liabilities of the Company,
under employee benefit plans, policies, arrangements, contracts and
agreements, including under collective bargaining agreements, with respect to
employees who on or after December 29, 1995 will be employees of the Company
or its other subsidiaries, including certain former employees employed by the
Company or one of its other subsidiaries for whom the Company retained such
liabilities in connection with Marriott International Distribution ("Company
Employees"). Pursuant to the Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement, and in
connection with the Special Dividend, the Company also adjusted outstanding
awards under Company employee benefit plans.
 
TAX SHARING AGREEMENT
   
  The Company and HM Services entered into a tax sharing agreement (the "Tax
Sharing Agreement") that defines the parties' rights and obligations with
respect to deficiencies and refunds of federal, state and other income or
franchise taxes relating to the Company's business for tax years prior to the
Special Dividend and with respect to certain tax attributes of the Company
after the Special Dividend. In general, with respect to periods ending on or
before December 29, 1995, the Company is responsible for (i) filing both
consolidated federal tax returns for the Company affiliated group and combined
or consolidated state tax returns for any group that includes a member of the
Company affiliated group, including in each case HM Services and its
subsidiaries for the relevant periods of time that such companies were members
of the applicable group, and (ii) paying the taxes relating to such returns
(including any subsequent adjustments resulting from the redetermination of
such tax liabilities by the applicable taxing authorities). HM Services will
reimburse the Company for a defined portion of such taxes relating to the
Operating Group. HM Services is responsible for filing returns and paying
taxes related to the Operating Group for subsequent periods. The Company and
HM Services have agreed to cooperate with each other and to share information
in preparing such tax returns and in dealing with other tax matters.     
 
TRANSITIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
 
  The Company and HM Services entered into an agreement pursuant to which the
Company or HM Services may provide certain services to the other for a
transitional period on an as-needed basis. The fee for such services will be
based on hourly rates designed to reflect the cost for providing such services
plus reimbursement of certain direct out of pocket expenses. Subject to the
termination provisions of the agreement, HM Services will be free to procure
such services from outside vendors or may develop an in-house capability in
order to provide such services internally. In general, the transitional
services agreement will terminate prior to the end of 1996. The transitional
services to be provided to HM Services pursuant to such agreements may include
corporate secretary services, cash management services, accounting services,
internal audit services, tax administration, litigation management or any
other similar services that HM Services may require.
 
                                      50
<PAGE>
 
ASSIGNMENT OF TRADEMARKS
 
  In conjunction with the Special Dividend, all of the Company's right, title
and interest in certain trademarks, including the Company logo, were conveyed
to HM Services. Under the HM Services Distribution Agreement, the Company and
its subsidiaries retain the right to use the name "Host" without limitation or
expiration. The Company does not currently contemplate any change to its name.
The Company has adopted a new logo (presented on the cover of this
Prospectus); although, the Company has retained the right to use its former
logo for a period of 18 months following the Special Dividend, which period
may be extended for up to an additional 12 months with HM Services' consent.
 
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING CONFLICTS
 
  The on-going relationship between the Company and HM Services may present
certain conflicts for J.W. Marriott, Jr. who serves as a director of the
Company and HM Services and for Richard E. Marriott who serves as a director
of HM Services and as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Mr. Richard E. Marriott, as well as other executive officers and directors of
the Company and HM Services also own (or have options or other rights to
acquire) a significant number of shares of Common Stock in the Company and HM
Services. The Company and HM Services have adopted appropriate policies and
procedures to be followed by the Board of Directors of each company to limit
the involvement of Richard E. Marriott and J.W. Marriott, Jr. (or such
executive officers and other directors having a significant ownership interest
in the companies) in conflict situations, including matters relating to
contractual relationships or litigation between the Company and HM Services.
Such procedures include requiring Richard E. Marriott and J.W. Marriott, Jr.
(or such executive officers or other directors having a significant ownership
interest in the companies) to abstain from voting as directors of each company
with respect to matters that present a significant conflict of interest
between the companies. Whether or not a significant conflict of interest
exists will be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on such factors as
the dollar value of the matter, the degree of personal interest of Richard E.
Marriott and J.W. Marriott, Jr. (or such executive officers and other
directors having a significant ownership interest in the companies) in the
matter and the likelihood that resolution of the matter has significant
strategic, operational or financial implications for the business of the
Company. It is a principal responsibility of the General Counsel of each of
the Company and HM Services to monitor this issue in consultation with the
Company's or HM Services' (as applicable) board of directors and to determine
when a significant conflict of interest exists. The Company and HM Services
believe that such conflicts will be minimal.
 
                     RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND
                            MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL
 
  For the purpose of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between
the Company and Marriott International after the Marriott International
Distribution and to provide mechanisms for an orderly transition, the Company
and Marriott International entered into various agreements and adopted
policies, as described in this section. Subsequent to the Marriott
International Distribution, the Company and Marriott International have
entered into additional agreements and arrangements which are also described
below. The Company believes that the agreements are fair to both parties and
contain terms which generally are comparable to those which would have been
reached in arms-length negotiations with unaffiliated parties (although
comparisons are difficult with respect to certain agreements, such as the
Assignment and License Agreement, which relate to the specific circumstances
of certain transactions). In many cases (such as with the Lodging Management
Agreements, the Consolidation Agreement and the Transitional Services
Agreements) the forms of agreements are based on agreements that the Company
has in fact negotiated with third parties. In other cases (such as the
Marriott International Distribution Agreement, the Marriott International Tax
Sharing Agreement and the New Line of Credit) the agreements are comparable to
those used by others in similar situations. In each case, the terms of such
agreements have been reviewed by individuals at a senior management level in
the Company and by individuals at a senior management level in Marriott
International.

DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
 
  The Marriott International Distribution Agreement provides for, among other
things, assumptions of liabilities and cross-indemnities designed to allocate,
effective as of the Marriott International Distribution, financial
responsibility for the liabilities arising out of or in connection with the
Management Business to Marriott International and its subsidiaries, and
financial responsibility for the liabilities arising out of or in connection
with the Real Estate Group Business and the Operating Group Business, along
with the Company's liabilities under a substantial portion of its pre-existing
financing and long-term debt obligations, to the Company and its retained
subsidiaries. The agreements executed in connection with the Marriott
International Distribution Agreement also set forth certain specific
allocations of liabilities between the Company and Marriott International.
 
  Under the Marriott International Distribution Agreement, Marriott
International has the Marriott International Purchase Right to purchase up to
20% of each class of the Company's voting stock (determined after assuming
full exercise of the right) at its then fair market value (based on an average
of trading prices during a specified period), upon the occurrence of certain
specified events generally involving a change in control of the Company. The
Marriott International Purchase Right terminates on October 8, 2003. The
Marriott International Purchase Right may have certain antitakeover effects as
described in "Antitakeover Effects of Certain Provisions of the Company's
Certificate and Bylaws and the Marriott International Purchase Right."
 
LODGING MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  Nearly all of the Company's hotels are managed by Marriott International.
The Marriott International Lodging Management Agreements provide for Marriott
International to manage most of the Marriott full-service hotels and all
Courtyard hotels and Residence Inns owned or leased by the Company. Each
Marriott International Lodging Management Agreement reflects market terms and
conditions and is substantially similar to the terms of management agreements
with other third-party owners regarding lodging facilities of a similar type.
The Company paid to Marriott International fees of $67 million, $41 million
and $5 million during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, from the managed and
franchised lodging properties owned or leased by the Company. Additionally,
the Company is a general partner in several unconsolidated partnerships that
own over 260 lodging properties operated by Marriott International under long-
term agreements.
 
  A separate Lodging Management Agreement is typically entered into for each
hotel owned or leased by the Company and operated by Marriott International.
Each Lodging Management Agreement has an initial term of 15 to 20 years and,
at the option of Marriott International, may be renewed for up to two or three
additional terms of eight to ten years each, aggregating 16 to 30 years, for a
total term of up to 50 years. Each Lodging Management Agreement for the
Courtyard hotels and Residence Inns (but not full-service hotels) is also
subject to the terms of a Consolidation Agreement (the "Consolidation
Agreement"), pursuant to which (i) certain fees payable under the Lodging
Management Agreement with respect to a particular lodging facility will be
determined on a consolidated basis with certain fees payable under the Lodging
Management Agreements for all lodging facilities of the same type, and (ii)
certain base fees payable under Lodging Management Agreements with respect to
a particular lodging facility will be waived in return for payment of an
incentive fee upon the sale of such facility. No Lodging Management Agreement
with respect to a single lodging facility is cross-collateralized or cross-
defaulted to any other Lodging Management Agreement and a single Lodging
Management Agreement may be cancelled under certain conditions, although such
cancellation will not trigger the cancellation of any other Lodging Management
Agreement. Marriott International does not have the right to set off amounts
owed to the Company under any Lodging Management Agreement against any other
indebtedness or amounts due from the Company and Marriott International may
not apply cash flows from one lodging facility against cash deficits of other
lodging facilities. Under the Consolidation Agreement (which is discussed
below), all revenues collected, expenses incurred under Lodging Management
Agreements for the Company's limited service hotels are aggregated on the
basis of hotel product line for purposes of calculating certain management
fees payable to Marriott International thereunder. The Lodging Management
Agreements with respect to the Company's full service hotels are not subject
to the Consolidation Agreement and the
 
                                      52
<PAGE>
 
management fees payable to Marriott International under a single Lodging
Management Agreement are calculated solely with respect to the lodging
facility managed thereunder. In general, properties remain subject to the
Lodging Management Agreement upon the sale of such property to third parties.
 
  Under each Lodging Management Agreement for full-service hotels, Marriott
International collects all revenue generated at a particular lodging property.
Marriott International holds such amounts on behalf of the Company in
segregated accounts and forwards to the Company every two weeks all amounts in
excess of certain expenses and management fees (as described more fully
below). Under the Lodging Management Agreements for the Company's limited
service hotels and the Consolidation Agreement, all revenues generated at the
Company's limited service hotels are collected and aggregated in a single
segregated account for each limited service product line (i.e., Courtyard and
Residence Inns). Marriott International forwards to the Company amounts in
excess of aggregated expenses and management fees in a manner similar to that
for the full-service hotels. Because amounts collected by Marriott
International are held on the Company's behalf, the Company does not depend
upon the creditworthiness of Marriott International for receipt of such
payments.
 
  Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites. The form of Lodging Management
Agreement for full-service hotels in the Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites
line provides for a base management fee equal to three percent of annual gross
revenues plus an incentive management fee generally equal to 40% to 50% of
"Available Cash Flow" for each fiscal year (provided that the cumulative
incentive management fee may not on any date exceed 20% of the cumulative
operating profit of the hotel from the Marriott International Distribution
through such date). The Company and Marriott International have agreed that,
subject to certain exceptions, the incentive management fee for full-service
hotels acquired after September 8, 1995 will equal 20% of Available Cash Flow.
Available Cash Flow is defined to be the excess of "Operating Profit" over the
"Owner's Priority." Operating Profit is defined generally in all forms of
Lodging Management Agreements as gross revenues, less all ordinary and
necessary operating expenses, including all base and system fees and
reimbursement for certain system-wide operating costs ("Chain Services"), as
well as a deduction to fund a required reserve for furniture, fixtures and
equipment for certain hotels, before any depreciation or amortization or
similar fixed charges. Owner's Priority in all forms of Lodging Management
Agreements is derived from an agreed-upon base amount assigned to each lodging
facility. Marriott International is also entitled to reimbursement for certain
costs attributable to Chain Services of Marriott International. The Company
has the option to terminate the agreement if specified performance thresholds
regarding Operating Profit are not satisfied and if specified revenue market
share tests are not met (provided that Marriott International can elect to
avoid such termination by making cure payments to the extent necessary to
allow the specified Operating Profit thresholds to be satisfied).
 
  The Company intends to aggressively pursue further hotel acquisitions and it
is anticipated that the Company will engage Marriott International to manage
many of the hotels that are acquired.
 
  Limited Service Hotels. The forms of Lodging Management Agreements for
Courtyard hotels and Residence Inns provide for a system fee equal to three
percent (in the case of Courtyard hotels) or four percent (in the case of
Residence Inns) of annual gross revenue, and a base fee equal to two percent
of annual gross revenues. The base fee is deferred in favor of the Owner's
Priority, and in any fiscal year in which the base fee is greater than
Operating Profit (prior to deduction of the base fee) less Owner's Priority,
the excess base fee is deferred, to be paid in a subsequent fiscal year out of
excess Operating Profit. Owner's Priority and Operating Profit are determined
in substantially the same manner as described above for Marriott Hotels,
Resorts and Suites. In addition, the agreements provide for an incentive
management fee equal to 50% of "Available Cash Flow" for each fiscal year
(provided that the cumulative incentive management fee may not on any date
exceed 20% of the cumulative Operating Profit of the hotel through such date).
Available Cash Flow is defined to be the excess of Operating Profit (after
deduction of the base fee, including any portion of the base fee that is
deferred or waived) over the Owner's Priority. Under such forms of agreement,
Marriott International is also entitled to reimbursement for certain costs
attributable to Chain Services of Marriott International. The Company or its
subsidiaries have the option to terminate the agreement if specified
performance thresholds regarding Operating Profit are not satisfied and if
specified revenue market share tests are not met (provided that Marriott
International can elect to avoid such termination by making cure payments to
the extent necessary to allow the specified Operating Profit thresholds to be
satisfied).
 
                                      53
<PAGE>
 
  Consolidation Agreement. Each Lodging Management Agreement for the Courtyard
hotels and Residence Inns (but not full-service hotels) is subject to the
terms of the Consolidation Agreement. Pursuant to the Consolidation Agreement,
certain revenues, expenses and fees payable under the Lodging Management
Agreements for Courtyard hotels and Residence Inns are consolidated by product
line as discussed herein. With respect to any Courtyard hotels and Residence
Inns managed by Marriott International under a Lodging Management Agreement,
for so long as the Company has not sold or financed any such lodging facility,
then the calculations, distributions and dispositions of gross revenues,
reserves, base fees, Owner's Priority, incentive management fees and system
fees under the Lodging Management Agreement with respect to such lodging
facility will be determined and reported on an aggregate basis, together with
all such facilities governed by a Lodging Management Agreement in the same
product line. After any such lodging facility is sold or financed, the
Consolidation Agreement will no longer be applicable to such facility, and the
gross revenues, reserves, base fee, Owner's Priority, incentive management fee
and system fee for such facility will be determined solely in accordance with
the Lodging Management Agreement applicable to such facility.
 
  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Consolidation Agreement, the base
fee payable under the Lodging Management Agreements (other than Lodging
Management Agreements for full-service hotels) is modified as set forth below.
Until December 31, 2000, in lieu of the base fees payable to Marriott
International with respect to the Courtyard hotels and Residence Inns managed
by Marriott International under a Lodging Management Agreement, Marriott
International will receive a "Bonus Incentive Fee" upon the sale of any of
such facilities by the Company. The "Bonus Incentive Fee" is defined to be 50%
of the "Net Excess Sale Proceeds" resulting from the sale of such facility
(provided that the Bonus Incentive Fee shall not exceed two percent of the
cumulative gross revenues of such facility, from the date of inception of the
Lodging Management Agreement for such facility through the earlier of December
31, 2000 or the date of sale). Net Excess Sale Proceeds is defined to be the
gross property sales price for the facility less (i) the reasonable costs
incurred by the Company in connection with the sale and (ii) a base amount
assigned to each lodging facility. Any future owners of such facility, and the
Company to the extent that it retains ownership of such facility after
December 31, 2000, will not be subject to the foregoing terms and will be
required to pay to Marriott International the base fee as set forth in the
Lodging Management Agreement applicable to such facility.
 
FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS
 
  At the time that the Company acquired the San Francisco Marriott--
Fisherman's Wharf, the Charlotte Marriott Executive Park and the Plaza San
Antonio, the Company entered into franchise agreements with Marriott
International to allow the Company to use the Marriott brand, associated
trademarks, research, standards, quality control, reservation systems, food
and beverage services and other related items in connection with its
operations of these properties. Pursuant to these franchise agreements, the
Company pays a franchise royalty fee of six percent of gross room sales plus
three percent of gross food and beverage sales, except for the Plaza San
Antonio for which the Company pays a royalty fee of four percent of gross room
sales in years one and two increasing to five percent in years three and four
and six percent in years five through ten, plus two percent of gross food and
beverage sales in years one and two increasing to three percent in years three
through ten. Additionally, the Company pays an advertising fee of one percent
of gross room sales and a reservations charge on usage of the Marriott
International reservations system, subject to certain agreed upon adjustments.
The term of the franchise agreement for the San Francisco Marriott--
Fisherman's Wharf is 30 years, the term of the franchise agreement for the
Charlotte Marriott Executive Park is 15 years and the term of the franchise
agreement for the Plaza San Antonio is ten years.
 
NEW LINE OF CREDIT
 
  Marriott International and the Company have entered into the New Line of
Credit under which the Company has the right to borrow from Marriott
International up to $225 million to fund (i) obligations under certain
guarantees made by the Company, (ii) payments of principal on specified
recourse debt of the Company and its subsidiaries, (iii) payment of interest
on amounts borrowed under the New Line of Credit and on specified recourse
debt of the Company and its subsidiaries, (iv) working capital, and (v) other
items approved in advance
 
                                      54
<PAGE>
 
by Marriott International. Borrowings under the New Line of Credit bear
interest at LIBOR plus 3% (4% when the outstanding balance exceeds $112.5
million) and mature in June 1998. Any such borrowings are guaranteed by, or
secured by the pledge of the stock of, certain subsidiaries of the Company. An
annual commitment fee of 5/8% is charged on the unused portion of the New Line
of Credit. The New Line of Credit imposes certain restrictions on the ability
of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional debt,
create liens or mortgages on their properties (other than various types of
liens arising in the ordinary course of business), extend new guarantees
(other than replacement guarantees), pay dividends, and repurchase their
common stock. When no advances are outstanding under the New Line of Credit
and the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have adequately reserved for
debt maturities over a 6-month term, such restricted payments as would
otherwise be prohibited are permitted in the amount by which aggregate EBITDA
of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (as defined in the New Line of
Credit) and the proceeds of specified stock issuances exceed 170% of the

ending on or before the last day of 1993, the Company is responsible for (i)
filing both consolidated federal tax returns for the Company affiliated group
and combined or consolidated state tax returns for any group that includes a
member of the Company affiliated group, including in each case Marriott
International and its subsidiaries for the relevant periods of time that such
companies were members of the applicable group, and (ii) paying the taxes
relating to such returns (including any subsequent adjustments resulting from
the redetermination of such tax liabilities by the applicable taxing
authorities). Marriott International will reimburse the Company for the
portion of such taxes relating to the Management Business. Marriott
International is responsible for filing returns and paying taxes related to
the Management Business for subsequent periods. The Company and Marriott
International have agreed to cooperate with each other and to share
information in preparing such tax returns and in dealing with other tax
matters.

TRANSITIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS
 
  Marriott International and the Company entered into a number of agreements
pursuant to which Marriott International has agreed to provide certain
continuing services to the Company and its subsidiaries for a transitional
period. Such services are provided on market terms and conditions. Subject to
the termination provisions of the specific agreements, the Company and its
subsidiaries are free to procure such services from outside vendors or may
develop an in-house capability in order to provide such services internally.
The Company believes that these agreements are based on commercially
reasonable terms including pricing and payment terms. In general, the
transitional services agreements can be kept in place at least through 1997.
The Company has the right to terminate such agreements upon giving 180 days
(or less) notice.
 
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING CONFLICTS
 
  The on-going relationship between Marriott International and the Company may
present certain conflicts for Messrs. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E.
Marriott, because J.W. Marriott, Jr. serves as Chairman of the Board of
Directors and President of Marriott International and also serves as a
director of the Company, and Richard E. Marriott serves as Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Company and as a director of Marriott International.
Messrs. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott, as well as other executive
officers and directors of the Company and Marriott International, also own (or
have options or other rights to acquire) a significant number of shares of
common stock in both the Company and Marriott International. The Company and
Marriott International have adopted appropriate policies and procedures to be
followed by the Board of Directors of each company to limit the involvement of
Messrs. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott (or such other executive
officers and directors having a significant ownership interest in both
companies) in conflict situations, including matters relating to contractual
relationships or litigation between the companies. Such procedures include
requiring Messrs. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott (or such other
executive officers or directors having a significant ownership interest in
both companies) to abstain from making management decisions in their
capacities as officers of Marriott International and the Company,
respectively, and to abstain from voting as directors of either company, with
respect to matters that present a significant conflict of interest between the
companies. Whether or not a significant conflict of interest exists is
determined on a case-by-case basis depending on such factors as the dollar
value of the matter, the degree of personal interest of Messrs. J.W. Marriott,
Jr. or Richard E. Marriott (or such other executive officers and directors
having a significant ownership interest in both companies) in the matter, the
interests of the shareholders of the Company and the likelihood that
resolution of the matter has significant strategic, operational or financial
implications for the business of the Company. It is a principal responsibility
of the general counsel of the Company to monitor this issue in consultation
with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and to determine when a
significant conflict of interest exists. See "Risk Factors--Potential
Conflicts with Marriott International."
 
OTHER TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS
 
  The Company has also entered into certain other transactions and
relationships with Marriott International. Marriott International has
provided, and expects in the future to provide, financing to the Company for a
portion of the cost of acquiring properties to be operated or franchised by
Marriott International. In 1995, Marriott International invested an aggregate
of $80 million, principally in the form of mortgage loans. The Company also
acquired a full-service property from a partnership in which Marriott
International owned a 50% interest. In January 1996, Marriott International
provided $57 million in connection with the Company's acquisition of a
controlling interest in two full-service hotels in Mexico City comprising 914
hotel rooms. See "Business and Properties--1996 Acquisitions."

(1) Mr. Golden joined the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer on
    September 1, 1995.
(2) Salary amounts include base salary earned and paid in cash during the
    fiscal year and the amount of base salary deferred at the election of the
    executive officer under the Company's Employees' Profit Sharing,
    Retirement and Savings Plan and Trust (the "Profit Sharing Plan") and the
    Company's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Compensation
    Plan").
(3) Bonus includes the amount of cash bonus earned pursuant to the named
    individual's bonus plan during the fiscal year and paid subsequent to the
    end of each fiscal year.
(4) Under its long-term compensation program for executive officers, the
    Company awards shares of restricted stock pursuant to the Company's 1993
    Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan (the "Comprehensive Stock Plan") and
    previously awarded such shares under the Company's Restricted Stock Plan
    for Key Employees (the "Company's Restricted Stock Plan") and the
    Company's Deferred Stock Incentive Plan (the "Company's Deferred Stock
    Plan"), predecessor plans to the Comprehensive Stock Plan. For Mr. R.E.
    Marriott, such restricted shares are as follows: for 1993, 2,411 shares of
    deferred bonus stock awarded under the Company's Deferred Stock Plan and
    160,000 shares awarded under the Comprehensive Stock Plan. For Mr. McKenna
    such restricted shares are as follows: for 1993, 2,590 shares awarded
    under the Company's Deferred Stock Plan and 72,000 shares awarded under
    the Comprehensive Stock Plan. For Mr. Parsons, such restricted shares are
    as follows: for 1993, 1,420 shares awarded under the Company's Deferred
    Stock Plan and 20,000 shares awarded under the Comprehensive Stock Plan.
    For Mr. Bollenbach, such restricted shares are as follows: for 1993, 7,124
    shares awarded under the Company's Deferred Stock Plan and 900,000 shares
    under the Comprehensive Stock Plan. Mr. Bollenbach's unvested share awards

    restricted shares of stock are as follows: for 1993, 3,096 shares awarded
    under the Company's Deferred Stock Plan and 144,000 shares awarded under
    the Comprehensive Stock

  Plan. For Mr. Mayer, such restricted shares are as follows: for 1993, 943
  shares awarded under the Company's Deferred Stock Plan and 20,000 shares
  awarded under the Comprehensive Stock Plan. The restricted shares reported
  in Table I and in this footnote are shares subject to "General Restrictions"
  (see footnote 8 below). Restricted shares with "Performance Restrictions"
  (see footnote 8 below) awarded as long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") awards
  are excluded.
(5) The Deferred Stock Bonus Awards granted by the Company are generally
    derived based on dividing 20% of each individual's annual cash bonus award
    by the average of the high and low trading prices for a share of Company
    Common Stock on the last trading day of the fiscal year. No voting rights
    or dividends are attributed to award shares until such award shares are
    distributed. Awards may be denominated as current awards or deferred
    awards. A current award is distributed in 10 annual installments
    commencing one year after the award is granted. A deferred award is
    distributed in a lump sum or in up to 10 installments following
    termination of employment. Deferred award shares contingently vest pro
    rata in annual installments commencing one year after the Deferred Stock
    Bonus Award is granted to the employee. Awards are not subject to
    forfeiture once the employee reaches age 55 or after 10 years of service
    with the Company. The aggregate number and value of shares of Company
    deferred stock and restricted stock subject to "General Restrictions" and
    "Performance Restrictions" (see footnote 8 below) held by each identified
    executive officer as of the end of the fiscal year 1995 are as follows:
    Mr. R.E. Marriott 372,137 shares valued at $4,394,938; Mr. McKenna,
    149,897 shares valued at $1,770,284; Mr. Parsons, 20,708 shares valued at
    $244,561; Mr. Hart, 5,347 shares valued at $63,148; Mr. Mayer, 20,079
    shares valued at $237,133. Mr. Golden and Mr. Bollenbach do not have any
    Company deferred or restricted stock. During the period in which any
    restrictions apply, holders of restricted stock are entitled to receive
    all dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such stock.
(6) For 1995, the amounts attributed to LTIP Payouts represent the value for
    the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards which vested following the
    close of the fiscal year based on performance for the fiscal year. The
    value stated is the average of the high and low trading prices of a share
    of stock on the date the performance restrictions were removed.
(7) With the exceptions of Mr. Bollenbach and Mr. Hart, amounts included in
    "All Other Compensation" represent total matching Company contribution
    amounts received under the Profit Sharing Plan and the Deferred
    Compensation Plan. The actual amounts attributable to each of the Plans is
    currently unavailable. For Mr. Bollenbach, a total of $20,671 is
    attributable to the Profit Sharing and Deferred Compensation Plans. A
    total of $37,400 is attributable to a separation leave payment. The
    remaining $1,000,000 is attributable to a consulting arrangement between
    the Company and Mr. Bollenbach to be paid through July 1996. For Mr. Hart,
    $15,507 is attributable to the Profit Sharing and Deferred Compensation
    Plans. The remaining $800,000 is attributable to Mr. Hart's separation
    arrangement with the Company. Under these arrangements, an additional
    payment of $200,000 may be made in the third quarter of 1996 at the sole
    discretion of the Company.
(8) On October 17, 1993, the Compensation Policy Committee (the "Committee")
    of the Board of Directors approved grants of restricted stock to certain
    key employees of the Company, including Mr. Hart, Mr. McKenna, Mr. Parsons
    and Mr. Mayer. On October 29, 1993, the Board of Directors approved an
    award of restricted stock to Mr. Bollenbach, and on December 2, 1993, the
    Board of Directors approved a grant of restricted stock to Mr. R.E.
    Marriott. Each such grant made in 1993 to Mr. R.E. Marriott, Mr.
    Bollenbach, Mr. Hart, Mr. Parsons, Mr. Mayer and Mr. McKenna consists of
    two awards: shares subject to restrictions relating primarily to continued
    employment ("General Restrictions") which vest ratably over a five or ten
    year period or at the end of a five or ten year-period and an award of
    shares subject to performance objectives such as financial performance of
    the Company ("Performance Restrictions"). Performance objectives are
    established by the Committee and are subject to periodic review and
    revision. All restricted stock awards subject only to General Restrictions
    are presented on Table I as "Restricted Stock Awards," and the value
    stated in Table I is the fair market value on the date of the grant.
(9) Mr. Bollenbach joined the Company as Executive Vice President and Chief
    Financial Officer on March 2, 1992 and resigned his position as President
    and Chief Executive Officer effective May 1995. Mr. Hart resigned his
    position as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective
    October 1995. Mr. Mayer resigned his position effective January 1996.

    In connection with the Special Dividend and pursuant to the Host Marriott
    Corporation 1993 Comprehensive Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan"), all
    Company Options held by employees of the Company were adjusted to reflect
    the Special Dividend by providing each option holder with the option to
    purchase one share of HM Services common stock for every five shares of
    Common Stock held as of the close of business on December 29, 1995. The
    exercise price of the HM Services option was set, and the price of the
    Company Options was adjusted, so that the economic value of the Company
    Options prior to the Special Dividend was preserved and not increased or
    decreased as a result of the Special Dividend.
(3) Based on a per share price for Company Common Stock of $11.81, a per share
    price for HM Services Corporation common stock of $6.69 and a per share

    reflect the average of the high and low trading prices on the New York

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
 
  In connection with his resignation as President and Chief Executive Officer

subsidiaries to Marriott International, including (i) the Lodging Management
Agreements, pursuant to which Marriott International or its subsidiaries
receive fees for managing lodging properties owned by the Company and its
subsidiaries, and (ii) certain transitional services agreements pursuant to
which Marriott International or its subsidiaries receive fees for providing

financing to the Company pursuant to (i) the New Line of Credit under which
the Company has the right to borrow from Marriott International up to $225
million, and (ii) the Philadelphia Mortgage under which Marriott International
provided first mortgage financing for a portion of the development and

International and their positions as Chairman and director, respectively, J.W.
Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott, who also are a director and Chairman,
respectively, of the Company, would be deemed in control of Marriott
International within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Other members
of the Marriott family might also be deemed control persons of Marriott
International by reason of their ownership of shares of Marriott International
and/or their relationship to other family members.

                         DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
  The following description of the Company's capital stock is a summary and is
subject in all respects to applicable Delaware law and to the provisions of
the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and shareholder's rights
plan listed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus
is a part.
 
GENERAL
 
  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Company
Certificate") authorizes the issuance of a total of 301 million shares of all
classes of stock, of which one million may be shares of preferred stock,
without par value, and 300 million may be shares of Common Stock. At September
8, 1995, approximately 159.0 million shares of Common Stock were outstanding.
The Company Certificate provides that the Board is authorized to provide for
the issuance of shares of preferred stock, from time to time, in one or more
series, and to fix any voting powers, full or limited or none, and the
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other
special rights, applicable to the shares to be included in any such series and
any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
  Voting Rights. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each
share registered in his name on the books of the Company on all matters
submitted to a vote of shareholders. Except as otherwise provided by law, the
holders of Common Stock vote as one class. The shares of Common Stock do not
have cumulative voting rights. As a result, subject to the voting rights, if
any, of the holders of any shares of the Company's preferred stock which may
at the time be outstanding, the holders of Common Stock entitled to exercise
more than 50% of the voting rights in an election of directors will be able to
elect 100% of the directors to be elected if they choose to do so. In such
event, the holders of the remaining Common Stock voting for the election of
directors will not be able to elect any persons to the Board. The Company
Certificate provides that the Board is classified into three classes, each
serving a three-year term, with one class to be elected in each of three
consecutive years.
 
  Dividend Rights. Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of the
Company's preferred stock which may at the time be outstanding, holders of
Common Stock are entitled to such dividends as the Board of Directors may
declare out of funds legally available therefor. The Company intends to retain
future earnings for use in its business and does not currently intend to pay
regular cash dividends. In addition, the New Line of Credit contains
restrictions on the payment of dividends on the Common Stock. See "Dividend
Policy."
 
  Liquidation Rights and Other Provisions. Subject to the prior rights of
creditors and the holders of any of the Company's preferred stock which may be
outstanding from time to time, the holders of Common Stock are entitled in the
event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up to share pro rata in the
distribution of all remaining assets. The Common Stock is not liable for any
calls or assessments and is not convertible into any other securities. The
Company Certificate provides that the private property of the shareholders
shall not be subject to the payment of corporate debts. There are no
redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock, and the
Company Certificate provides that there shall be no preemptive rights.
 
  The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is First Chicago Trust
of New York.
 
RIGHTS AND JUNIOR PREFERRED STOCK
 
  The Company has adopted a shareholder rights plan as set forth in a Rights
Agreement dated February 3, 1989, as amended, between the Company and the Bank
of New York, as rights agent (the "Rights Agreement"). The following is a
summary of the terms of the Rights Agreement.
 
  Rights. Following the occurrence of certain events (the "Occurrence Date")
and except as described below, each right (a "Right," and, collectively, the
"Rights") will entitle the registered holder thereof to
 
                                      65
<PAGE>
 
purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share (a "Unit") of the
Company's Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock ("Junior Preferred
Stock") at a price (the "Purchase Price") of $150 per Unit, subject to
adjustment. The Rights are not exercisable until the Occurrence Date. The
Rights expire on the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the Rights
Agreement, unless exercised in connection with a transaction of the type
described below or unless earlier redeemed by the Company.
 
  Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights
as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to
vote or to receive dividends.
 
  Initially, ownership of the Rights will be attached to all Common Stock
certificates representing shares then outstanding, and no separate
certificates representing the Rights (the "Rights Certificates") will be
distributed. Until the Occurrence Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of
the Rights), the Rights will be transferable only with the Common Stock, and
the surrender or transfer of any certificate of Common Stock will also
constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Stock
represented by such certificate. The Rights will separate from the Common
Stock and an Occurrence Date will occur upon the earlier of (i) 10 days
following the date (a "Stock Acquisition Date") of a public announcement that
a person or group of affiliates or associated persons (an "Acquiring Person")
has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or
more of the outstanding Common Stock or (ii) 10 business days following the
commencement of or announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or
exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in the Acquiring Person
becoming the beneficial owner of 30% or more of such outstanding Common Stock
(such date being called the Occurrence Date).
 
  For purposes of the Rights Agreement, a person shall not be deemed to
beneficially own "Exempt Shares" which include (i) shares of Common Stock
acquired by such person by gift, bequest and certain other transfers, which
shares were Exempt Shares immediately prior to such transfer and were held by
such person continuously thereafter and (ii) shares acquired by such person in
connection with certain distributions of Common Stock with respect to Exempt
Shares which were held by such person continuously thereafter. In connection
with the Marriott International Distribution, the Board amended the Rights
Agreement to provide that the shares of Common Stock acquired by Marriott
International upon exercise of the Marriott International Purchase Right will
be deemed "Exempt Shares" under the Rights Agreement, such that the exercise
of such right by Marriott International will not cause Marriott International
to be deemed an "Acquiring Person" under the Rights Agreement and thus trigger
a distribution of the Rights. See "Relationship Between the Company and
Marriott International--Marriott International Purchase Right."
 
  As soon as practicable following an Occurrence Date, Rights Certificates
will be mailed to holders of record of Common Stock as of the close of
business on the Occurrence Date. After such time, such separate Rights
Certificates alone will evidence the Rights and could trade independently from
the Common Stock.
 
  In the event (i) the Company is the surviving corporation in a merger with
an Acquiring Person and the Common Stock is not changed or exchanged, or (ii)
an Acquiring Person becomes the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock (except pursuant to an offer for all
outstanding shares of Common Stock which the Board determines to be fair to
and otherwise in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders), each
holder of a Right will, in lieu of the right to receive one one-thousandth of
a share of Junior Preferred Stock, thereafter have the right to receive, upon
exercise, Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other
securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the exercise
price of the Right. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the
occurrence of any of the events set forth in this paragraph, all Rights that
are (or, under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement, were)
beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will be null and void. However, the
Rights are not exercisable following the occurrence of either of the events
set forth above until such time as the Rights are no longer redeemable by the
Company as set forth below.
 
  For example, at an exercise price of $150 per Right, each Right not owned by
an Acquiring Person (or by certain related parties) following an event set
forth in the preceding paragraph would entitle its holder to purchase
 
                                      66
<PAGE>
 
$300 worth of Common Stock (or other consideration, as noted above) for $150.
Assuming that the Common Stock had a per share value of $30 at such time, the
holder of each valid Right would be entitled to purchase 10 shares of Common
Stock for $150.
 
  In the event that, at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the
Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger
described in the second preceding paragraph or a merger which follows an offer
described in the second preceding paragraph), or (ii) 50% or more of the
Company's assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a
Right (except Rights which previously have been voided as set forth above)
shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the
acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the
Right.
 
  In general, the Board may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at
any time until 10 days following the Stock Acquisition Date, at a price of
$.01 per Right. After the redemption period has expired, the Company's right
of redemption may be reinstated if an Acquiring Person reduces its beneficial
ownership to 10% or less of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in a
transaction or series of transactions not involving the Company. Immediately
upon the action of the Board ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights
will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive
the $.01 per Right redemption price.
 
  The purchase price payable, and the number of shares of Junior Preferred
Stock or other securities or property issuable upon exercise of the Rights are
subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events with respect to
the Company, including stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations,
reclassifications, rights or warrants offerings of Junior Preferred Stock at
less than the then current market price and certain distributions of property
or evidences of indebtedness of the Company to holders of Junior Preferred
Stock, all as set forth in the Rights Agreement.
 
  The Rights have certain antitakeover effects. The Rights may cause
substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company
on terms not approved by the Board, except pursuant to an offer conditioned on
a substantial number of Rights being acquired. The Rights should not interfere
with any merger or other business combination approved by the Board since the
Rights may be redeemed by the Company as set forth above. See "Purposes and
Antitakeover Effects of Certain Provisions of the Company Certificate and
Bylaws and the Marriott International Purchase Right."
 
  Junior Preferred Stock. In connection with the Rights Agreement, 300,000
shares of Junior Preferred Stock are authorized and reserved for issuance by
the Board. No shares of Junior Preferred Stock are currently outstanding. The
material terms of the Junior Preferred Stock are summarized herein; however,
such summary is subject to the terms of the Company Certificate and the
certificate of designation relating to the Junior Preferred Stock (the "Junior
Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation").
 
  Subject to the prior payment of cumulative dividends on any class of
preferred stock ranking senior to the Junior Preferred Stock, a holder of
Junior Preferred Stock will be entitled to cumulative dividends out of funds
legally available therefor, when, as and if declared by the Board, at a
quarterly rate per share of Junior Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (a)
$10.00 or (b) 1000 times (subject to adjustment upon certain dilutive events)
the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends and 1000 times (subject
to adjustment upon certain dilutive events) the aggregate per share amount
(payable in kind) of all noncash dividends or other distributions (other than
dividends payable in Common Stock or a sub-division of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock) declared on Common Stock, since the immediately preceding
quarterly dividend payment date for the Junior Preferred Stock (or since the
date of issuance of the Junior Preferred Stock if no such dividend payment
date has occurred).
 
  A holder of Junior Preferred Stock will be entitled to 1000 votes (subject
to adjustment upon certain dilutive events) per share of Junior Preferred
Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company. Such
holders will vote together with the holders of the Common Stock as a single
class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company.
 
                                      67
<PAGE>
 
  In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company which results in
Common Stock being exchanged or changed for other stock, securities, cash
and/or other property, the shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall similarly be
exchanged or changed in an amount per share equal to 1000 times (subject to
adjustment upon certain dilutive events) the aggregate amount of stock,
securities, cash and/or other property, as the case may be, into which each
share of Common Stock has been exchanged or changed.
 
  In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, a
holder of Junior Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive $1000 per share,
plus accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, before any
distribution may be made to holders of shares of stock of the Company ranking
junior to the Junior Preferred Stock, and the holders of Junior Preferred
Stock are entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share equal to 1000
times (subject to adjustment upon certain dilutive events) the aggregate
amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Stock.
 
  In the event that dividends on the Junior Preferred Stock are in arrears in
an amount equal to six quarterly dividends thereon, all holders of Junior
Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class with the holders of any other
series of preferred stock of the Company with dividends in arrears, will be
entitled to elect two directors pursuant to provisions of the Company
Certificate. Such right to elect two additional directors shall continue at
each annual meeting until all dividends in arrears (including the then-current
quarterly dividend payment) have been paid or declared and set apart for
payment. Upon payment or declaration and reservation of funds for payment of
all such dividends, the term of office of each director elected shall
immediately terminate and the number of directors shall be such number as may
be provided for in the Company Certificate or Bylaws.
 
  The Junior Preferred Stock is not subject to redemption. The terms of the
Junior Preferred Stock provide that the Company is subject to certain
restrictions with respect to dividends and distributions on and redemptions
and purchases of shares of stock of the Company ranking junior to or on a
parity with the Junior Preferred Stock in the event that payments of dividends
or other distributions payable on the Junior Preferred Stock are in arrears.
 
WARRANTS
 
  The Company agreed to issue warrants (the "Warrants") to acquire 7,700,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock in connection with the settlement of
class action lawsuits instituted against the Company and certain individual
defendants by certain holders and purchasers of senior notes and debentures of
the Company. As adjusted to reflect the Special Dividend, each Warrant
entitles the holder, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on October 8, 1998 (the
"Expiration Time"), to purchase one share of Common Stock from the Company and
one-fifth share of HM Services common stock at a price (the "Exercise Price")
of (i) $8.00, if exercised on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on
October 8, 1996, or (ii) $10.00, if exercised after 5:00 p.m. New York City
time on October 8, 1996, but on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on
October 8, 1998. The portion of the Exercise Price attributable to the HM
Services common stock is payable to HM Services. See "Relationship Between the
Company and HM Services After the Special Dividend." Both the Exercise Price
and the number of shares subject to the Warrants are subject to certain
adjustments. Warrants that are not exercised prior to the Expiration Time
expire and become void. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the
issuance of the Warrants.
 
  Warrantholders will not be entitled to vote or to consent or to receive
notice as shareholders in respect of the meeting of shareholders or the
election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or possess any
rights whatsoever as shareholders of the Company.
 
  The Company has also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any
required approvals or registration under state securities laws for the
issuance of the Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants. Under the Warrant
Agreement, however, Warrants may not be exercised by or, shares of Common
Stock issued to, any Warrant holder in any state where such exercise or
issuance would be unlawful. The Warrants have no established trading market
and no assurance can be given that any such markets will develop.
 
  As of December 29, 1995, approximately 7,500,000 Warrants were outstanding
or reserved for issuance.

                 PRICE RANGE OF THE COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDENDS
 
  The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Chicago Stock
Exchange, the Pacific Stock Exchange and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and,
since consummation of the Marriott International Distribution, is traded under
the symbol "HMT." The following table sets forth, for the fiscal periods
indicated, the high and low sales prices per share of the Common Stock as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape and the cash dividends
paid per share of Common Stock. All periods presented in the table below prior
to the fourth quarter of 1993 are prior to the Marriott International
Distribution. The Special Dividend of HM Services was completed on December
29, 1995 and provided Company shareholders with one share of common stock of
HM Services for every five shares of Host Marriott Common Stock. Therefore,
due to the Marriott International Distribution and the Special Dividend, stock
prices and dividends paid are not indicative of the Company's current stock
price or dividend policies except for the 1st Quarter of 1996. The Company
currently intends to retain future earnings, if any, for use in its business
and does not anticipate paying regular cash dividends on the Common Stock. See
"Dividend Policy." As of December 29, 1995, there were approximately 57,000
holders of record of Common Stock.

    PURPOSES AND ANTITAKEOVER EFFECTS OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE COMPANY
     CERTIFICATE AND BYLAWS AND THE MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL PURCHASE RIGHT
 
COMPANY CERTIFICATE AND BYLAWS
 
  The Company Certificate contains several provisions that will make difficult
an acquisition of control of the Company by means of a tender offer, open
market purchases, a proxy fight or otherwise, that is not approved by the
Board. The Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws") also contain provisions that could
have an antitakeover effect.
 
  The purposes of the relevant provisions of the Company Certificate and
Bylaws are to discourage certain types of transactions, described below, which
may involve an actual or threatened change of control of the Company and to
encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to consult first
with the Board to negotiate the terms of any proposed business combination or
offer. The provisions are designed to reduce the vulnerability of the Company
to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover that does not contemplate the
acquisition of all outstanding shares or is otherwise unfair to shareholders
of the Company or an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all
or part of the Company. The Company believes that, as a general rule, such
proposals would not be in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders.
 
  There has been a history of the accumulation of substantial stock positions
in public companies by third parties as a prelude to proposing a takeover or a
restructuring or sale of all or part of the company or another similar
extraordinary corporate action. Such actions are often undertaken by the
third-party without advance notice to, or consultation with, the management or
board of directors of the target company. In many cases, the purchaser seeks
representation on the company's board of directors in order to increase the
likelihood that its proposal will be implemented by the company. If the
company resists the efforts of the purchaser to obtain representation on the
company's board, the purchaser may commence a proxy contest to have its
nominees elected to the board in place of certain directors or the entire
board. In some cases, the purchaser may not truly be interested in taking over
the company, but may use the threat of a proxy fight and/or a bid to take over
the company as a means of forcing the company to repurchase its equity
position at a substantial premium over market price.
 
  The Company believes that the imminent threat of removal of the Company's
management or Board in such situations would severely curtail the ability of
management or the Board to negotiate effectively with such purchasers. The
management or the Board would be deprived of the time and information
necessary to evaluate the takeover proposal, to study alternative proposals
and to help ensure that the best price is obtained in any transaction
involving the Company which may ultimately be undertaken. If the real purpose
of a takeover bid were to force the Company to repurchase an accumulated stock
interest at a premium price, management or the Board would face the risk that,
if it did not repurchase the purchaser's stock interest, the Company's
business and management would be disrupted, perhaps irreparably.
 
  Certain provisions of the Company Certificate and Bylaws, the Company
believes, will help ensure that the Board, if confronted by a surprise
proposal from a third party which has acquired a block of stock, will have
sufficient time to review the proposal and appropriate alternatives to the
proposal and to act in what it believes to be the best interests of the
shareholders. In addition, certain other provisions of the Company Certificate
are designed to prevent a purchaser from utilizing two-tier pricing and
similar inequitable tactics in the event of an attempt to take over the
Company.
 
  These provisions, individually and collectively, will make difficult and may
discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy fight, even if such transaction or
occurrence may be favorable to the interests of the shareholders, and may
delay or frustrate the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of
stock of the Company and the removal of incumbent management, even if such
removal might be beneficial to the shareholders. Furthermore, these provisions
may deter or could be utilized to frustrate a future takeover attempt which is
not approved by the incumbent Board, but which the holders of a majority of
the shares may deem to be in their best
 
                                      70
<PAGE>
 
interests or in which shareholders may receive a substantial premium for their
stock over prevailing market prices of such stock. By discouraging takeover
attempts, these provisions might have the incidental effect of inhibiting
certain changes in management (some or all of the members of which might be
replaced in the course of a change of control) and also the temporary
fluctuations in the market price of the stock which often result from actual
or rumored takeover attempts.
 
  Set forth below is a description of such provisions in the Company
Certificate and Bylaws. Such description is intended as a summary only and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company Certificate and Bylaws
which are exhibits to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 of which this
Prospectus is a part.
 
  Classified Board of Directors. The Company Certificate provides for the
Board to be divided into three classes serving staggered terms so that
directors' current terms will expire at the 1996, 1997 or 1998 annual meeting
of shareholders. See "Management--Board of Directors and Executive Officers."
 
  The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more
difficult for shareholders to change the composition of the Board in a
relatively short period of time. At least two annual meetings of shareholders,
instead of one, will generally be required to effect a change in a majority of
the Board. Such a delay may help ensure that the Board, if confronted by a
holder attempting to force a stock repurchase at a premium above market
prices, a proxy contest or an extraordinary corporate transaction, will have
sufficient time to review the proposal and appropriate alternatives to the
proposal and to act in what it believes are the best interests of the
shareholders.
 
  The classified board provision could have the effect of discouraging a third
party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of
the Company, even though such an attempt might be beneficial to the Company
and its shareholders. The classified board provision could thus increase the
likelihood that incumbent directors will retain their positions. In addition,
since the classified board provision is designed to discourage accumulations
of large blocks of the Company's stock by purchasers whose objective is to
have such stock repurchased by the Company at a premium, the classified board
provision could tend to reduce the temporary fluctuations in the market price
of the Company's stock that could be caused by accumulations of large blocks
of such stock. Accordingly, shareholders could be deprived of certain
opportunities to sell their stock at a temporarily higher market price.
 
  The Company believes that a classified board of directors helps to assure
the continuity and stability of the Board and business strategies and policies
as determined by the Board, because generally a majority of the directors at
any given time will have had prior experience as directors of the Company. The
classified board provision also helps assure that the Board, if confronted
with an unsolicited proposal from a third party that has acquired a block of
the voting stock of the Company, will have sufficient time to review the
proposal and appropriate alternatives and to seek the best available result
for all shareholders.
 
  Removal; Filling Vacancies. The Company Certificate provides that, subject
to any rights of the holders of preferred stock, only a majority of the Board
then in office shall have the authority to fill any vacancies on the Board,
including vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors. In
addition, the Company Certificate provides that a new director elected to fill
a vacancy on the Board will serve for the remainder of the full term of his or
her class and that no decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the
term of an incumbent. Moreover, the Company Certificate provides that
directors may be removed with or without cause only by the affirmative vote of
holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote
at the election of directors, voting together as a single class. These
provisions relating to removal and filling of vacancies on the Board will
preclude shareholders from enlarging the Board or removing incumbent directors
and filling the vacancies with their own nominees.
 
  Limitations on Shareholder Action By Written Consent; Special Meetings. The
Company Certificate and Bylaws provide that shareholder action can be taken
only at an annual or special meeting of shareholders and prohibit shareholder
action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. The Company Certificate and
Bylaws provide
 
                                      71
<PAGE>
 
that, subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock,
special meetings of shareholders can be called only by a majority of the
entire Board. Shareholders are not permitted to call a special meeting or to
require that the Board call a special meeting of shareholders. Moreover, the
business permitted to be conducted at any special meeting of shareholders is
limited to the business brought before the meeting by or at the direction of
the Board.
 
  The provisions of the Company Certificate and Bylaws restricting shareholder
action by written consent may have the effect of delaying consideration of a
shareholder proposal until the next annual meeting unless a special meeting is
called by a majority of the entire Board. These provisions would also prevent
the holders of a majority of the voting power of the voting stock from using
the written consent procedure to take shareholder action and from taking
action by consent without giving all the shareholders of the Company entitled
to vote on a proposed action the opportunity to participate in determining
such proposed action. Moreover, a shareholder could not force shareholder
consideration of a proposal over the opposition of the Board by calling a
special meeting of shareholders prior to the time the Board believed such
consideration to be appropriate.
 
  The Company believes that such limitations on shareholder action will help
to assure the continuity and stability of the Board and the Company's business
strategies and policies as determined by the Board, to the benefit of all of
the Company's shareholders. If confronted with an unsolicited proposal from
Company shareholders, the Board will have sufficient time to review such
proposal and to seek the best available result for all shareholders, before
such proposal is approved by such shareholders by written consent in lieu of a
meeting or through a special meeting of shareholders.
 
  Nominations of Directors and Shareholder Proposals. The Bylaws establish an
advance notice procedure with regard to the nomination, other than by or at
the direction of the Board, of candidates for election as directors (the
"Nomination Procedure") and with regard to shareholder proposals to be brought
before an annual or special meeting of shareholders (the "Business
Procedure").
 
  The Nomination Procedure provides that only persons who are nominated by or
at the direction of the Board, or by a shareholder who has given timely prior
written notice to the Secretary of the Company prior to the meeting at which
directors are to be elected, will be eligible for election as directors. The
Business Procedure provides that shareholder proposals must be submitted in
writing in a timely manner in order to be considered at any annual or special
meeting. To be timely, notice must be received by the Company (i) in the case
of an annual meeting, not less than 90 days prior to the annual meeting for a
director nomination, and not less than 120 days prior to the annual meeting
for a shareholder proposal or (ii) in the case of a special meeting not later
than the seventh day following the day on which notice of such meeting is
first given to shareholders for both a director nomination and a shareholder
proposal.
 
  Under the Nomination Procedure, notice to the Company from a shareholder who
proposes to nominate a person at a meeting for election as a director must
contain certain information about that person, including age, business and
residence addresses, principal occupation, the class and number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned, the consent to be nominated and such other
information as would be required to be included in a proxy statement
soliciting proxies for the election of the proposed nominee, and certain
information about the shareholder proposing to nominate that person. Under the
Business Procedure, notice relating to a shareholder proposal must contain
certain information about such proposal and about the shareholder who proposes
to bring the proposal before the meeting, including the class and number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such shareholder. If the Chairman
or other officer presiding at a meeting determines that a person was not
nominated in accordance with the Nomination Procedure, such person will not be
eligible for election as a director, or if he determines that the shareholder
proposal was not properly brought before such meeting, such proposal will not
be introduced at such meeting. Nothing in the Nomination Procedure or the
Business Procedure will preclude discussion by any shareholder of any
nomination or proposal properly made or brought before an annual or special
meeting in accordance with the above-mentioned procedures.
 
 
                                      72
<PAGE>
 
  The purpose of the Nomination Procedure is, by requiring advance notice of
nomination by shareholders, to afford the Board a meaningful opportunity to
consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees and, to the extent deemed
necessary or desirable by the Board, to inform shareholders about such
qualifications. The purpose of the Business Procedure is, by requiring advance
notice of shareholder proposals, to provide a more orderly procedure for
conducting annual meetings of shareholders and, to the extent deemed necessary
or desirable by the Board, to provide the Board with a meaningful opportunity
to inform shareholders, prior to such meetings, of any proposal to be
introduced at such meetings, together with any recommendation as to the
Board's position or belief as to action to be taken with respect to such
proposal, so as to enable shareholders better to determine whether they desire
to attend such meeting or grant a proxy to the Board as to the disposition of
any such proposal. Although the Bylaws do not give the Board any power to
approve or disapprove shareholder nominations for the election of directors or
of any other proposal submitted by shareholders, the Bylaws may have the
effect of precluding a nomination for the election of directors or precluding
the conducting of business at a particular shareholder meeting if the proper
procedures are not followed, and may discourage or deter a third-party from
conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or
otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, even if the conduct of
such solicitation or such attempt might be beneficial to the Company and its
shareholders.
 
  Fair Price Provision. Article Fifteen of the Company Certificate (the "Fair
Price Provision") requires approval by the holders of 66 2/3% of the voting
power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors (the "Voting Stock") as a condition for
mergers and certain other business combinations ("Business Combinations")
involving the Company and any holder of more than 25% of such voting power (an
"Interested Shareholder") unless the transaction is either (i) approved by a
majority of the members of the Board who are not affiliated with the
Interested Shareholder and who were directors before the Interested
Shareholder became an Interested Shareholder (the "Disinterested Directors")
or (ii) certain minimum price and procedural requirements are met.
 
  The Fair Price Provision is designed to prevent a third party from utilizing
two-tier pricing and similar inequitable tactics in a takeover attempt. The
Fair Price Provision is not designed to prevent or discourage tender offers
for the Company. It does not impede an offer for at least 66 2/3% of the
Voting Stock in which each shareholder receives substantially the same price
for his or her shares as each other shareholder or which the Board has
approved in the manner described herein. Nor does the Fair Price Provision
preclude a third party from making a tender offer for some of the shares of
Voting Stock without proposing a Business Combination in which the remaining
shares of Voting Stock are purchased. Except for the restrictions on Business
Combinations, the Fair Price Provision will not prevent an Interested
Shareholder having a controlling interest of the Voting Stock from exercising
control over the Company or increasing its interest in the Company. Moreover,
an Interested Shareholder could increase its ownership to 66 2/3% and avoid
application of the Fair Price Provision. However, the separate provisions
contained in the Company Certificate and the Bylaws relating to "Classified
Boards of Directors" discussed above will, as therein indicated, curtail an
Interested Shareholder's ability to exercise control in several respects,
including such shareholder's ability to change incumbent directors who may
oppose a Business Combination or to implement a Business Combination by
written consent without a shareholder meeting. The Fair Price Provision would,
however, discourage some takeover attempts by persons intending to acquire the
Company in two steps and to eliminate remaining shareholder interests by means
of a business combination involving less consideration per share than the
acquiring person would propose to pay for its initial interest in the Company.
In addition, acquisitions of stock by persons attempting to acquire control
through market purchases may cause the market price of the stock to reach
levels which are higher than would otherwise be the case. The Fair Price
Provision may thereby deprive some holders of the Common Stock of an
opportunity to sell their shares at a temporarily higher market price.
 
  Although the Fair Price Provision is designed to help assure fair treatment
of all shareholders vis-a-vis other shareholders in the event of a takeover,
it is not the purpose of the Fair Price Provision to assure that shareholders
will receive a premium price for their shares in a takeover. Accordingly, the
Board is of the view that the adoption of the Fair Price Provision does not
preclude the Board's opposition to any future takeover proposal
 
                                      73
<PAGE>
 
which it believes would not be in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders, whether or not such a proposal satisfies the minimum price
criteria and procedural requirements of the Fair Price Provision.
 
  In addition, under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law as
applicable to the Company, certain "business combinations" (defined generally
to include (i) mergers or consolidations between a Delaware corporation and an
interested shareholder (as defined below) and (ii) transactions between a
Delaware corporation and an interested shareholder involving the assets or
stock of such corporation or its majority-owned subsidiaries, including
transactions which increase the interested shareholder's percentage ownership
of stock) between a Delaware corporation, whose stock generally is publicly
traded or held of record by more than 2,000 shareholders, and an interested
shareholder (defined generally as those shareholders, who, on or after
December 23, 1987, become beneficial owners of 15% or more of a Delaware
corporation's voting stock) are prohibited for a three-year period following
the date that such shareholder became an interested shareholder, unless (i)
prior to the date such shareholder became an interested shareholder, the board
of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or
the transaction which resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested
shareholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that made such
shareholder an interested shareholder, the interested shareholder owned at
least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the
transaction commenced (excluding voting stock owned by officers who also are
directors and voting stock held in employee benefit plans in which the
employees do not have a confidential right to tender or vote stock held by the
plan), or (iii) the business combination was approved by the board of
directors of the corporation and ratified by two-thirds of the voting stock
which the interested shareholder did not own. The three-year prohibition also
does not apply to certain business combinations proposed by an interested
shareholder following the announcement or notification of certain
extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had been
an interested shareholder during the previous three years or who became an
interested shareholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation's
directors.
 
  Shareholder Rights Plan. The Company has adopted a shareholder rights plan
which may have anti-takeover effects. See "Description of Capital Stock-Rights
and Junior Preferred Stock."
 
  Amendment of the Company Certificate and Bylaws. The Company Certificate
contains provisions requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
66 2/3% the voting power of the stock entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors to amend certain provisions of the Company Certificate
and Bylaws (including the provisions discussed above). These provisions make
it more difficult for shareholders to make changes in the Company Certificate
or Bylaws, including changes designed to facilitate the exercise of control
over the Company. In addition, the requirement for approval by at least a 66
2/3% shareholder vote will enable the holders of a minority of the Company's
capital stock to prevent holders of a less-than-66 2/3% majority from amending
such provisions of the Company's Certificate or Bylaws.
 
MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL PURCHASE RIGHT
 
  The Company granted to Marriott International, for a period of ten years
following the Marriott International Distribution (i.e., until October 2003),
the right to purchase a number of shares equal in amount of up to 20% of each
class of the Company's outstanding voting stock at the then fair market value
upon the occurrence of certain change of control events involving the Company.
The Marriott International Purchase Right may be exercised for a 30-day period
following the date a person or group of affiliated persons has (i) become the
beneficial owner of 20% or more of the total voting power of the then
outstanding shares of the Company's voting stock or (ii) announced a tender
offer for 30% or more of the total voting power of the then outstanding shares
of the Company's voting stock. These change of control events upon which the
Marriott International Purchase Right becomes exercisable are substantially
identical to those events that cause a distribution of the Rights under the
Rights Agreement (see "Description of Capital Stock--Rights and Junior
Preferred Stock"). Accordingly, certain share ownership of the Company's
voting stock by specified persons is exempt under the Rights Agreement, and
consequently will not result in a distribution of Rights, and will not cause
the Marriott International Purchase Right to become exercisable.
 
 
                                      74
<PAGE>
 
  In connection with the Marriott International Distribution, the Board
amended the terms of the Rights Agreement to provide that the exercise of the
Marriott International Purchase Right will not result in a distribution of the
Rights. Accordingly, upon exercise of the Marriott International Purchase
Right, Marriott International will be entitled to receive the Rights
associated with the Common Stock and will not be deemed an "Acquiring Person"
under the Rights Agreement.
 
  The purchase price for the Common Stock to be purchased upon the exercise of
the Marriott International Purchase Right is determined by taking the average
of the closing sale price of the Common Stock during the 30 consecutive
trading days preceding the date the Marriott International Purchase Right
becomes exercisable. The specific terms of the Marriott International Purchase
Right are set forth in the Marriott International Distribution Agreement.
 
  The Marriott International Purchase Right will have an antitakeover effect.
Any person considering acquiring a substantial or controlling block of Common
Stock would face the possibility that its ability to exercise control would be
impaired by Marriott International's 20% ownership resulting from exercise of
the Marriott International Purchase Right. Moreover, so long as the Marriott
family's current percentage of ownership of Common Stock continues, the
combined Marriott family (including various trusts established by members of
the Marriott family) and Marriott International ownership following exercise
of the Marriott International Purchase Right may effectively block control by
others (see "Description of Capital Stock"). It is also possible that the
exercise price of the Marriott International Purchase Right would be lower
than the price at which a potential acquiror might be willing to purchase a
20% block of shares of Common Stock because the purchase price for the
Marriott International Purchase Right is based on the average trading price
during a 30-day period which may be prior to the announcement of the takeover
event. This potential price differential may have a further antitakeover
effect by discouraging potential acquirers of the Company. The antitakeover
effect of the Marriott International Purchase Right will be in addition to the
antitakeover effects of the provisions contained in the Company Certificate
and Bylaws.
 
CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS OF
                                 COMMON STOCK
 
  The following is a general summary of certain United States federal income
and estate tax consequences of the ownership, sale or other disposition of
Common Stock by a person (a "non-U.S. holder") that, for United States federal
income tax purposes, is a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation,
a foreign partnership or a foreign estate or trust, as such terms are defined
in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). This summary
does not address all aspects of United States federal income and estate taxes
that may be relevant to non-U.S. holders in light of their particular facts
and circumstances or to certain types of non-U.S. holders that may be subject
to special treatment under United States federal income tax laws (for example,
insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions or
broker-dealers). Furthermore, this summary does not discuss any aspects of
foreign, state or local taxation. This summary is based on current provisions
of the Code, existing and proposed regulations promulgated thereunder and
administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all of which are subject
to change, possibly retroactively.
 
DIVIDENDS
 
  Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder of Common Stock will generally be
subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a 30% rate or
such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, unless
the dividends are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business of the non-U.S. holder within the United States. In order to claim
the benefit of an applicable tax treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder may have to
file with the Company or its dividend paying agent an exemption or reduced
treaty rate certificate or letter in accordance with the terms of such treaty.
 
 
                                      75
<PAGE>
 
  Dividends that are effectively connected with such holder's conduct of a
trade or business in the United States are generally subject to tax on a net
income basis (that is, after allowance for applicable deductions) at rates
applicable to United States citizens, resident aliens and domestic United
States corporations, and are not generally subject to withholding. Any such
effectively connected dividends received by a non-U.S. corporation may also,
under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional "branch profits tax"
at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income
tax treaty.
 
  Under current United States Treasury regulations, dividends paid to an
address outside the United States are presumed to be paid to a resident of
such country for purposes of the withholding discussed above (unless the payor
has knowledge to the contrary). Under the current interpretation of United
States Treasury regulations, the same presumption applies for purposes of
determining the applicability of a tax treaty rate; however, under proposed
United States Treasury regulations not currently in effect, a non-U.S. holder
of Common Stock who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate
would be required to satisfy applicable certification and other requirements.
Certain certification and disclosure requirements must be complied with in
order to be exempt from withholding under the effectively connected income
exemption discussed above.
 
  A non-U.S. holder of Common Stock that is eligible for a reduced rate of
United States tax withholding pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a
refund of any excess amounts currently withheld by filing an appropriate claim
for refund with the United States Internal Revenue Service.
 
DISPOSITION OF COMMON STOCK
 
  A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to United States federal
income tax in respect of gain recognized on the disposition of Common Stock
unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business of a non-U.S. holder in the United States, (ii) in the case of a non-
U.S. holder who is a nonresident alien individual and holds Common Stock as a
capital asset, such holder is present in the United States for 183 or more
days in the taxable year of the sale and either (a) such individual's "tax
home" for United States federal income tax purposes is in the United States or
(b) the gain is attributable to an office or other fixed place of business
maintained in the United States by such individual, or (iii) if the Company is
or has been a "U.S. real property holding corporation" for federal income tax
purposes at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the
disposition or, if shorter, the period during which the non-U.S. holder held
the Common Stock (the "applicable period") and the non-U.S. holder holds,
actually or constructively, at any time during the applicable period, more
than 5% of the Common Stock.
 
  The Company expects to be treated as a United States real property holding
company for United States federal tax purposes because of its ownership of
substantial real estate assets in the United States. As a result, a non-U.S.
holder who holds, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the Common Stock may
be subject to United States federal income taxation on any gain realized from
the sale or other disposition of such stock, unless an exemption is provided
under an applicable tax treaty.
 
FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES
 
  Common Stock owned or treated as owned by a holder who is neither a United
States citizen nor a United States resident (as specially defined for United
States federal estate tax purposes) at the time of death will be included in
such holder's gross estate for United States federal estate tax purposes,
unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.
 
UNITED STATES INFORMATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING TAX
 
  The Company must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to each
non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax
withheld with respect to such dividends. These information reporting
requirements apply regardless of whether withholding is required. Copies of
the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be
made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S.
holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.
 
                                      76
<PAGE>
 
  United States backup withholding (which generally is imposed at a 31% rate)
generally will not apply to (a) the payment of dividends paid on Common Stock
to a non-U.S. holder at an address outside the United States or (b) the
payment of the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock to or through the foreign
office of a broker. In the case of the payment of proceeds from such a sale of
Common Stock through foreign offices of United States brokers, or foreign
brokers with certain types of relationships to the United States, however,
information reporting (but not backup withholding) is required with respect to
the payment unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the
owner is a non-U.S. holder (and has no actual knowledge to the contrary) and
certain other requirements are met or the holder otherwise establishes an
exemption. The payment of the proceeds of a sale of shares of Common Stock to
or through a U.S. office of a broker is subject to information reporting and
possible backup withholding at a rate of 31% unless the owner certifies its
non-U.S. status under penalties of perjury or otherwise establishes an
exemption. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a
payment to a non-U.S. holder will be allowed as a refund or a credit against
such non-U.S. holder's United States federal income tax liability, provided
that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
 
  These information reporting and backup withholding rules are under review by
the United States Treasury and could be changed by future regulations,
possibly retroactively.
   
  THE FOREGOING SUMMARY IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. ACCORDINGLY,
INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE
UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION
OF COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF THE LAWS OF ANY
STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

  The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several
Underwriters to purchase and accept delivery of the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by counsel
and to certain other conditions. If any of the shares of Common Stock are
purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, all such
shares (other than shares covered by the over-allotment option described
below) must be purchased. The offering price and underwriting discounts and
commissions per share for the U.S. Offering and the International Offering are
identical.
 
  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute
to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
 
  The Representatives have advised the Company that the Underwriters propose
to offer the shares of Common Stock to the public initially at a price to the
public set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers
(who may include the Underwriters) at such price less a concession not to
exceed $  per share. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow,
discounts not in excess of $  per share to any other Underwriter and certain
other dealers.
 
  The Company has granted to the U.S. Underwriters an option to purchase up to
an aggregate of 3,750,000 additional shares of Common Stock, at the initial
public offering price net of underwriting discounts and commissions, solely to
cover over-allotments. Such option may be exercised at any time until 30 days
after the date of this Prospectus. To the extent that the U.S. Representatives
exercise such option, each of the U.S. Underwriters will be committed, subject
to certain conditions, to purchase a number of option shares proportionate to
such U.S. Underwriter's initial commitment as indicated in the preceding
table.
 
  The Company, Richard E. Marriott and J.W. Marriott, Jr. have agreed, subject
to certain exceptions, not to sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common
Stock or sell or grant rights, options or warrants with respect to Common
Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock prior to the
expiration of 90 days from the date of this Prospectus, without prior written
consent of the Representatives.

  Pursuant to an Agreement Between U.S. Underwriters and International
Managers (the "Agreement Between U.S. Underwriters and International
Managers"), each U.S. Underwriter has represented and agreed that, with
respect to the shares included in the U.S. Offering and with certain
exceptions, (a) it is not purchasing any Common Stock for the account of
anyone other than a United States or Canadian Person (as defined below) and
(b) it has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell, directly or
indirectly, any Common Stock or distribute this Prospectus outside of the
United States or Canada or to anyone other than a United States or Canadian
Person. Pursuant to the Agreement Between U.S. Underwriters and International
Managers, each International Manager has represented and agreed that, with
respect to the shares included in the International Offering and with certain
exceptions, (a) it is not purchasing any Common Stock for the account of any
United States or Canadian Person and (b) it has not offered or sold, and will
not offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or distribute this
Prospectus within the United States or Canada or to any United States or
Canadian Person. The foregoing limitations do not apply to stabilization
transactions and to certain other transactions among the International
Managers and the U.S. Underwriters. As used herein, "United States or Canadian
Person" means any national or resident of the United States or Canada or any
corporation, pension, profit-sharing or other trust or other entity organized
under the laws of the United States or Canada or of any political subdivision
thereof (other than a branch located outside the United States or Canada of
any United States or Canadian Person) and includes any United States or
Canadian branch of a person who is not otherwise a United States or Canadian
Person, and "United States" means the United States of America, its
territories, its possessions and all areas subject to its jurisdiction.
 
  Pursuant to the Agreement Between U.S. Underwriters and International
Managers, sales may be made between the U.S. Underwriters and the
International Managers of any number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased
pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement as may be mutually agreed. The per
share price and currency of settlement of any shares so sold shall be the
public offering price set forth on the cover page hereof, in United States
dollars, less an amount not greater than the per share amount of the
concession to dealers set forth above.
 
  Pursuant to the Agreement Between U.S. Underwriters and International
Managers, each U.S. Underwriter has represented that it has not offered or
sold, and has agreed not to offer or sell, any Common Stock, directly or
indirectly, in Canada in contravention of the securities laws of Canada or any
province or territory thereof and has represented that any offer of Common
Stock in Canada will be made only pursuant to an exemption from the
requirement to file a prospectus in the province or territory of Canada in
which such offer is made. Each U.S. Underwriter has further agreed to send any
dealer who purchases from it any Common Stock a notice stating in substance
that, by purchasing such Common Stock, such dealer represents and agrees that
it has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell, directly or
indirectly, any of such Common Stock in Canada in contravention of the
securities laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof and that any
offer of Common Stock in Canada will be made only pursuant to an exemption
from the requirement to file a prospectus in the province or territory of
Canada in which such offer is made, and that such dealer will deliver to any
other dealer to whom it sells any of such Common Stock a notice to the
foregoing effect.
 
  Each of the Representatives and certain affiliates have from time to time
performed certain investment banking and commercial banking services for the
Company or its affiliates, for which each received customary fees.
 
  Pursuant to the Agreement between U.S. Underwriters and International
Managers, each International Manager has represented and agreed that (i) it
has not offered or sold and during the period of six months from the date of
this Prospectus will not offer or sell any Common Stock to persons in the
United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in
acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or
agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances
which do not constitute an offer to the public in the United Kingdom for the
purposes of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995 (the
"Regulations"); (ii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable
provisions of the Financial Services Act of 1986 of Great Britain and the
Regulations with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Common
Stock in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and (iii) it has
only issued or passed on and will only issue or pass on in the United Kingdom
any document received by it in connection with the issue of the
 
                                      80

Common Stock to a person who is of a kind described in Article 11(3) of the
Financial Services Act 1986 (Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order
1995 of Great Britain or is a person to whom the document may otherwise
lawfully be issued or passed on.
 
  No action has been taken in any jurisdiction by the Company or the
Underwriters that would permit a public offering of the Common Stock offered
pursuant to the Offering in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is
required, other than the United States. The distribution of this Prospectus
and the offering or sale of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby in
certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Accordingly, the shares of
Common Stock offered hereby may not be offered or sold, directly or
indirectly, and neither this Prospectus nor any other offering material or

result in compliance with applicable rules and regulations of any such
jurisdiction. Such restrictions may be set out in applicable Prospectus
supplements. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes are required
by the Company and the Underwriters to inform themselves about and to observe
any applicable restrictions. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of,
or an invitation to subscribe for purchase of, any shares of Common Stock and
may not be used for the purpose of an offer to, or solicitation by, anyone in
any jurisdiction or in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation
is not authorized or is unlawful.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Host Marriott Corporation:
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Host
Marriott Corporation (formerly Marriott Corporation) and subsidiaries as of
December 29, 1995 and December 30, 1994, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended December 29, 1995. 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 an 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 29, 1995 and December 30,
1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended December 29, 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  As discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in
1995 the Company changed its method of accounting for the impairment of long-

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Description of Business
 
  As of December 29, 1995, Host Marriott Corporation (the "Company," formerly
Marriott Corporation) owned 90 lodging properties generally located throughout
the United States and operated under Marriott brand names and managed by
Marriott International. The Company also holds minority interests in various
partnerships that own 262 additional properties operated by Marriott
International. The Company's properties span several market segments,
including full-service (hotels, resorts and suites), moderate-price (Courtyard
by Marriott) and extended-stay (Residence Inn).
 
  On December 29, 1995, the Company distributed to its shareholders through a
special tax-free dividend (the "Special Dividend") its food, beverage, and
merchandise concessions business at airports, on tollroads, and at stadiums,
arenas and other attractions (the "Operating Group"). See Note 2 for a
discussion of the Special Dividend. The consolidated financial statements have
been restated to reflect the Operating Group as discontinued operations.
 
  The structure of the Company was substantially altered on October 8, 1993
(the "Marriott International Distribution Date") when the Company distributed
the stock of a wholly owned subsidiary, Marriott International, Inc.
("Marriott International") in a special dividend (the "Marriott International
Distribution"). See Note 3 for a description of the Marriott International
Distribution and related transactions.
 
 Principles of Consolidation
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates. Investments in 50% or less
owned affiliates over which the Company has the ability to exercise
significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. All material
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
  The Company's financial statements include the results of operations and
cash flows of Marriott International through the Marriott International
Distribution Date. Marriott International's results of operations through the
Marriott International Distribution Date included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements consist of the following:

 Fiscal Year
 
  The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest to December 31.
 
 Revenues and Expenses
 
  Subsequent to the Marriott International Distribution, revenues include
house profit from the Company's owned hotel properties because the Company has
delegated substantially all of the operating decisions related to the
generation of house profit from its hotels to the manager. Revenues subsequent
to the Marriott International
 
                                      F-8
<PAGE>
 
                  HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Distribution also include net gains (losses) on real estate transactions,
equity in the earnings of affiliates and lease rentals from the Company's
senior living communities. House profit reflects the net revenues flowing to
the Company as property owner and represents hotel operating results, less
property-level expenses, excluding depreciation, management fees, real and
personal property taxes, ground and equipment rent, insurance and certain
other costs, which are classified as operating costs and expenses.
 
  In 1993, revenues related to Marriott International are included in profits
from operations distributed to Marriott International in the accompanying
statement of operations.
 
  Prior to the Marriott International Distribution, the Company operated 388
hotels under long-term management agreements whereby payments to owners were
based primarily on hotel profits. Working capital and operating results of
managed hotels operated with the Company's employees were consolidated because
the operating responsibilities associated with such hotels were substantially
the same as those for owned and leased hotels.
 
 Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
 
  Earnings (loss) per common share are computed on a fully diluted basis by
dividing net income (loss) available for common stock by the weighted average
number of outstanding common and common equivalent shares, plus other
potentially dilutive securities, aggregating 158.3 million in 1995, 151.5
million in 1994 and 121.3 million in 1993. Common equivalent shares and other
potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the weighted average
number of outstanding shares for 1995 and 1994 as they are anti-dilutive.
 
 International Operations
 
  The consolidated statements of operations include the following amounts
related to non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates; revenues of $258 million in
1993 (including $223 million related to Marriott International) and income
before income taxes of $26 million in 1993. International sales and income
before income taxes, subsequent to the Marriott International Distribution,
were not material.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Property and equipment is recorded at cost, including interest, rent and
real estate taxes incurred during development and construction. Replacements
and improvements are capitalized.
 
  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings and three to 10
years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related buildings.
 
  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 lodging properties,
the Company assesses impairment based on whether the net realizable value
(estimated sales price less costs of disposal) of each individual property to
be sold is less than the net book value. A lodging 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 estimated 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.

                  HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 Pre-Opening Costs
 
  Costs of an operating nature incurred prior to opening of lodging properties
are deferred and amortized over three years for hotels opened prior to
September 8, 1995 and one year for hotels opened after September 8, 1995. Such
costs, which are included in other assets, amounted to $7 million and $6
million, net of accumulated amortization, at December 29, 1995 and December
30, 1994, respectively.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
 
 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.
 
 Self-Insurance Programs
 
  Prior to the Marriott International Distribution Date, the Company was self-
insured for certain levels of general liability, workers' compensation and
employee medical coverage. Estimated costs of these self-insurance programs
were accrued at present values of projected settlements for known and
anticipated claims. The Company discontinued its self-insurance programs for
claims arising subsequent to the Marriott International Distribution Date.
 
 Interest Rate Swap Agreements
 
  The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to diversify
certain of its debt to a variable rate or fixed rate basis. The interest rate
differential to be paid or received on interest rate swap agreements is
accrued as interest rates change and is recognized as an adjustment to
interest expense.
 
 New Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
 
  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," and SFAS No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," during
1994 and SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,"
during 1995. Adoption of these statements did not have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
  During 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."
The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have any effect on the Company's
continuing operations. See Note 2 for a discussion of the adoption of SFAS No.
121 on discontinued operations. The Company is also required to adopt SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," no later than its fiscal year
ending January 3, 1997. Adoption of SFAS No. 123 will not have any material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. HM SERVICES SPECIAL DIVIDEND
   
  On December 29, 1995, the Company distributed to its shareholders through
the Special Dividend all of the outstanding shares of common stock of HM
Services, formerly a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which, as
of the date of the Special Dividend, owned and operated food, beverage and
merchandise concessions at airports, on tollroads and at stadiums and arenas
and other tourist attractions (the "Operating Group"). The Special Dividend
provided Company shareholders with one share of common stock of HM Services
for every five shares of Company common stock held by such shareholders on the
record date of December 22, 1995. The Company recorded approximately $9
million of expenses related to the consummation of the Special Dividend in
1995. Revenues for the Company's discontinued operations totaled $1,158
million in 1995, $1,121 million in 1994 and $1,067 million in 1993. The
provision for loss on disposal includes the operating loss from discontinued
operations from August 9, 1995 (measurement date) through December 29, 1995 of
$44 million, net of taxes, and estimated expenses related to the Special
Dividend of $9 million.     
 
  Effective September 9, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of." SFAS No. 121 requires that an impairment loss be recognized when
the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted estimated
future cash flows associated with the asset. Under SFAS No. 121, the Company
reviewed the impairment of its assets employed in its Operating Group business
lines (airport, toll plaza and sports and entertainment) on an individual
operating unit location basis. For each individual operating unit determined
to be impaired, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the
carrying value and the fair market value of the unit's assets was recognized.
Fair market value was estimated to be the present value of expected future
cash flows of the individual operating unit, as determined by management,
after considering such factors as future air travel and toll-pay vehicle data
and inflation. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 121, the Company
recognized a non-cash, pre-tax charge during the fourth quarter of $47
million. Such charge has been reflected in discontinued operations for fiscal
year 1995.
 
  Prior to September 9, 1995, the Company determined the impairment of
concession unit assets on a business line basis (airport, toll plaza and
sports and entertainment), not by individual operating unit, consistent with
the manner in which the Operating Group has managed its business. Using the
business line basis, if the net carrying costs exceeded the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows from a business line, such excess costs would be
charged to expense.
 
  For purposes of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between the
company and HM Services after the Special Dividend and to provide for an
orderly transition, the Company and HM Services entered into various
agreements including a Distribution Agreement, an Employee Benefits Allocation
Agreement, a Tax Sharing Agreement and a Transitional Services Agreement.
Effective as of December 29, 1995, these agreements provide, among other
things, for the division between the Company and HM Services of certain assets
and liabilities, including but not limited to liabilities related to employee
stock and other benefit plans and the establishment of certain obligations for
HM Services to issue shares upon exercise of warrants (see Note 10) and to
issue shares or pay cash to the Company upon exercise of stock options held by
certain former employees of the Company (see Note 11).
 
3. MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION
 
  On October 8, 1993 (the "Marriott International Distribution Date"),
Marriott Corporation distributed, through a special tax-free dividend (the
"Marriott International Distribution"), to holders of Marriott Corporation's
common stock (on a share-for-share basis), approximately 116.4 million
outstanding shares of common stock of an existing wholly owned subsidiary,
Marriott International, resulting in the division of Marriott Corporation's
operations into two separate companies. The distributed operations included
the former Marriott Corporation's lodging management, franchising and resort
timesharing operations, senior living service operations, and the
institutional food service and facilities management business. The Company
retained the former Marriott Corporation's airport and tollroad food, beverage
and merchandise concessions operations, as

                  HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
well as most of its real estate properties. Effective at the Marriott
International Distribution Date, Marriott Corporation changed its name to Host
Marriott Corporation. Subsequent to the Company's announcement in late 1992 of
the planned Marriott International Distribution, the Company recorded a
reserve of $21 million, representing management's best estimate, at that time,
of the anticipated costs to complete the Marriott International Distribution.
During 1993, the Company recognized an additional $13 million of charges based
on management's revised estimate of the ultimate cost of completing the
Marriott International Distribution. The costs include $30 million payable to
attorneys, investment bankers, consultants and financial institutions, and $4
million in employee compensation awards. Substantially all of the unpaid costs
at December 31, 1993 were paid during 1994. The other notes to the financial
statements discuss further the agreements and events relating to the Marriott
International Distribution.
 
  In connection with the Marriott International Distribution, the Company
completed an exchange offer ("Exchange Offer") pursuant to which holders of
senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.2 billion
("Old Notes") exchanged such Old Notes for a combination of (i) cash, (ii)
common stock and (iii) Hospitality Notes ("Hospitality Notes") issued by an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Host Marriott Hospitality,
Inc. ("Hospitality"). The Hospitality Notes were redeemed in 1995 (see Note
8). The Exchange Offer was treated as an extinguishment of debt and,
accordingly, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of $4 million, net
of taxes of $3 million, in 1993.
 
  The following condensed unaudited pro forma income statement data for
continuing operations for the Company is presented as if the Marriott
International Distribution and Exchange Offer had occurred at the beginning of
fiscal year 1993. This pro forma data has been presented for informational
purposes only. It does not purport to be indicative of the results which may
occur in the future.

  Interest cost capitalized in connection with the Company's development and
construction activities totaled $5 million in 1995 and $10 million in 1994 and
1993.
 
  Following discussions with the Staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Company agreed in the second quarter of 1993 to change its
method of determining net realizable value of assets reported as held
 
                                     F-12
<PAGE>
 
                  HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
for sale. The Company previously determined net realizable value of such
assets on a property-by-property basis in the case of full-service hotels,
resorts and suites, and on an aggregate basis, by hotel brand, in the case of
Courtyard hotels, Fairfield Inns and Residence Inns. Beginning in the second
fiscal quarter of 1993 and thereafter, under the Company's new accounting
policy, net realizable value of all assets held for sale is determined on a
property-by-property basis. The after-tax cumulative effect of this change on
periods prior to the second quarter of 1993 of $32 million is reflected as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting for assets held for sale in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1993. The reduction in the annual depreciation charge as a result
of this change did not have a material effect on results of operations. There
was no pro forma effect of this change on the results of operations for 1993.
 
  In cases where the Company has made a decision to dispose of particular
properties, the Company assesses impairment of each individual property to be
sold on the basis of expected sales price less estimated costs of disposal.
Otherwise, the Company assesses impairment of its real estate properties based
on whether the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from such properties
will be less than their net book value. In the second quarter of 1995, the
Company made a determination that its owned Courtyard and Residence Inn
properties were held for sale. While management expects to sell these
properties as part of one or more portfolios, the Company recorded a $10
million charge to write down the carrying value of five individual Courtyard
and Residence Inn properties to their estimated net realizable values. The
Company's Courtyard and Residence Inn properties held for sale have a net book
value of $335 million at December 29, 1995.
 
  During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company engaged in formal
negotiations to sell the majority of its Fairfield Inns and executed a letter
of intent in January 1994. In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company
considered these hotels as held for sale and recorded a pre-tax charge to
earnings of $11 million to write-down the carrying value of 15 such properties
to their individual estimated net realizable value.
 
  The Company owns a 174-acre parcel of undeveloped land in Germantown,
Maryland, zoned for commercial office building development. The site was
originally purchased in the 1980s for a proposed new corporate headquarters.
Due to Company downsizing, plans for a new corporate headquarters were
dropped. The Company subsequently planned to develop the site into an office
project over an extended time period to recover its investment, however, the
continuing weakness of the real estate market in Montgomery County, Maryland,
has negatively impacted this development plan. In the fourth quarter of 1995,
management instituted a program to liquidate certain non-income producing
assets and to reinvest the proceeds in the acquisition of full-service hotels.
As part of this program, management determined that the site will no longer be
developed and instead has decided to attempt to sell the property.
Accordingly, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $60 million in the fourth
quarter of 1995 to reduce the asset to its estimated sales value.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
  Hotel properties owned by affiliates generally were acquired from the
Company in connection with limited partnership offerings. The Company or one
of its subsidiaries typically serve as a general partner of each partnership
and the hotels are operated under long-term agreements by Marriott
International.
 
  At December 31, 1993, the Company owned a 50% interest in Times Square
Marquis Hotel, L.P. ("Times Square"), formerly Times Square Hotel Company, the
owner of the New York Marriott Marquis, and held security interests in an
additional 39% of the partnership interests as collateral for loans made to
certain partners. The partners were in default on the loans and the Company,
for accounting purposes, realized an in-substance foreclosure of their
partnership interests. In the first quarter of 1994, the Company foreclosed on
a 29% partnership interest and completed the transfer of an additional 7%
partnership interest in Times Square in full satisfaction of the loans. As a
result, the Company holds an 86% partnership interest in Times Square at
December 29, 1995. In 1993, the Company began reporting substantially all the
losses of Times Square and on December 31, 1993 began consolidating Times
Square.
 
  In December 1993, the Company sold its 15% interest in the partnership
owning the Boston Copley Marriott Hotel for $10.4 million.
 
  In 1993, the Company sold portions of its equity interests in Residence Inns
USA partnership for $31 million. These sales reduced the Company's ownership
by the fourth quarter of 1993 to 16.6% and allowed the Company to be released
from certain debt guarantee obligations. Accordingly, the Company
deconsolidated the partnership at December 31, 1993. In 1994, the Company sold
an additional portion of its equity interests in the partnership for $7
million. A gain on the sale transactions totaling $14 million has been
deferred and is being amortized through 1996.
 
  In the fourth quarter of 1993, a Company-owned addition to a hotel owned by
a partnership in which the Company is a general partner was taken through
foreclosure by the hotel's lender. The Company's investment in the addition
was written off at that time.
 
  Receivables from affiliates are reported net of reserves of $210 million at
December 29, 1995 and $200 million at December 30, 1994. Receivables from
affiliates at December 29, 1995 includes a $145 million mortgage note at 9%
which amortizes through 2003, and net debt service and other advances totaling
$7 million which are generally secured by subordinated liens on the
properties. The Company has committed to advance additional amounts to
affiliates, if necessary, to cover certain debt service requirements. Such
commitments are limited, in the aggregate, to an additional $173 million at
December 29, 1995. Subsequent to year end, such commitments were reduced to
$128 million. Net amounts funded under these commitments totaled $8 million in
1995, $2 million in 1994 and $14 million in 1993.
 
  The Company's pretax income from affiliates includes the following:

6. INCOME TAXES
 
  The Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS
109"), during the first quarter of 1993. Prior to such adoption, the Company
deferred the past tax effects of timing differences between amounts recorded
for financial reporting purposes and taxable income. SFAS 109 requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities equal to the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences.
 
  The $34 million cumulative credit resulting from this change in accounting
principle has been reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations for 1993.
 
  Total deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 29, 1995 and December
30, 1994 were as follows:

  The valuation allowance required under SFAS 109 primarily represents net
operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") the benefits of which were not
previously recorded, but which have been recorded under SFAS 109 as deferred
tax assets with an offsetting valuation allowance. Any subsequent reduction in
the valuation allowance related to the NOLs will be recorded as a reduction of
income tax expense. There was no change in the valuation allowance during 1995
and 1994.

gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax assets and liabilities as

  At December 29, 1995, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
$12 million which expire through 2001. Additionally, the Company has
approximately $26 million of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards
which do not expire.
   
  During 1995, the Company settled with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
substantially all remaining issues through the 1990 tax year, except for one
issue which the Company expects to resolve with no material impact on the
consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates net payments to the
IRS in 1996 of approximately $45 million related to these settlements. Certain
adjustments totalling approximately $11 million in 1995 have been made to the
tax provision related to those settlements.

  The Company leases certain property and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases. As discussed in Note 13, the Company sold and leased back 37
of its Courtyard properties. The leases, which are accounted for as operating
leases and are included above, have initial terms expiring through 2006 and
are renewable at the option of the Company. Subsequent to year end, the
initial term of the leases was extended through 2012. Minimum rent payments
are $33 million annually and additional rent based upon sales levels are
payable to the owner under the terms of the leases. Leases 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.     
 
  Certain of the leases included above relate to facilities used in the former
restaurant business. Most leases contain one or more renewal options,
generally for five or 10-year periods. Future rentals on leases have not

  The Company remains contingently liable at December 29, 1995 on certain

  The Company repaid certain indebtedness (with a principal balance of $87
million) upon its maturity on May 24, 1995 with a draw on its line of credit
with Marriott International. Additionally, and pursuant to the then-existing
senior note indenture, senior notes ("Hospitality Notes") issued by Host
Marriott Hospitality, Inc. ("Hospitality"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, were required to be repaid to the extent of 50% to 75% of net
proceeds from certain asset sales (at par) and 100% of net refinancing
proceeds (generally at 103% of the principal amount). Based on net proceeds
from qualifying asset sales for the first quarter of 1995, the Company
redeemed $100 million of Hospitality Notes in the second quarter of 1995. The
Company also redeemed $292 million of Hospitality Notes in 1994 from the net
proceeds from qualifying assets sales. In connection with the 1994
redemptions, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of $6 million, net
of taxes of $3 million, in 1994.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  In May 1995, two wholly owned subsidiaries of Hospitality issued an
aggregate of $1 billion of 9.5% senior secured notes in two concurrent
offerings to several initial purchasers. HMH Properties, Inc. ("Properties"),
the owner of 57 of the Company's 90 lodging properties at December 29, 1995,
and Host Marriott Travel Plazas, Inc. ("HMTP"), the operator/manager of HM
Services' food, beverage and merchandise concessions business, issued $600
million (the "Properties Notes") and $400 million ("HMTP Notes"),
respectively, of senior notes secured by the stock of certain of their
respective subsidiaries. The bonds were issued at par and have a final
maturity of May 2005. The net proceeds were used to defease, and subsequently
redeem, all of Hospitality's Notes and to repay borrowings under the line of
credit with Marriott International. In connection with the redemptions and
defeasance, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss in 1995 of $17
million, net of taxes, related to continuing operations, primarily
representing premiums paid on the redemptions and the write-off of deferred
financing fees and discounts on the Hospitality Notes. The Properties Notes
are secured by a pledge of the stock of certain of Properties' subsidiaries
and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of Properties'
subsidiaries. The indenture governing the Properties Notes contains covenants
that, among other things, limit the ability of Properties and its subsidiaries
to incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, pay dividends or
make other distributions, repurchase capital stock or subordinated
indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with
affiliates, sell certain assets, issue or sell stock of Properties'
subsidiaries, and enter into certain mergers and consolidations. The net
assets of Properties at December 29, 1995 were approximately $380 million,
substantially all of which were restricted. The HMTP Notes were included in
the Special Dividend to HM Services.
 
  In December 1995, HMC Acquisition Properties, Inc. ("Acquisitions"), an
indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $350 million of 9%
senior notes (the "Acquisitions Notes") to several initial purchasers. The
Acquisitions Notes were issued at par and have a final maturity of December
2007. A portion of the net proceeds were utilized to repay in full the
outstanding borrowings under the $230 million revolving line of credit (the
"Acquisition Revolver"), which was then terminated. In connection with the
termination of the Acquisition Revolver, the Company recognized an
extraordinary loss in 1995 of $3 million, net of taxes of $1 million,
representing the write-off of deferred financing fees on the Acquisition
Revolver. The Acquisitions Notes are guaranteed by Acquisitions' subsidiary.
The indenture governing the Acquisitions Notes contains covenants that, among
other things, limit the ability of Acquisitions and its subsidiary to incur
additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, pay dividends or make other
distributions, repurchase capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, create
certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, sell certain
assets, issue or sell stock of Acquisitions' subsidiary, and enter into
certain mergers and consolidations. In addition, under certain circumstances,
Acquisitions will be required to offer to purchase the Acquisitions Notes at
par value with the proceeds of certain asset sales. The net assets of
Acquisitions at December 29, 1995 were approximately $225 million,
substantially all of which were restricted.
 
  During 1995, the Company replaced its $630 million line of credit with a new
line of credit with Marriott International (the "New Line of Credit") pursuant
to which the Company has the right to borrow up to $225 million for certain
permitted uses. Borrowings under the New Line of Credit bear interest at LIBOR
plus 3% (4% when the outstanding balance exceeds $112.5 million) and mature in
June 1998. Any such borrowings are guaranteed by, or secured by the pledge of
the stock of, certain subsidiaries of the Company. An annual commitment fee of
5/8% is charged on the unused portion of the New Line of Credit. The New Line
of Credit imposes certain restrictions on the ability of the Company and
certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, create liens or
mortgages on their properties (other than various types of liens arising in
the ordinary course of business), extend new guarantees (other than
replacement guarantees), pay dividends, and repurchase their common stock.
 
  In conjunction with the construction of the Philadelphia Marriott, the
Company obtained first mortgage financing from Marriott International for 60%
of the construction and development costs of the hotel. As of

December 29, 1995, the outstanding loan balance was $109 million. The loan
bears interest at LIBOR plus 3% (8.7% at December 29, 1995) for the period
ending two years after construction. For the following 10 years, the loan
bears interest at 10% per annum with an additional 2% per annum deferred.
 
  At December 29, 1995, the Company was party to interest rate exchange
agreements with three financial institutions (the contracting parties) with an
aggregate notional amount of $545 million. Under certain of these agreements
aggregating $400 million, the Company collects interest at fixed rates
(average rate of 7.1% at December 29, 1995) and pays interest based on
specified floating interest rates (average rate of 5.6% at December 29, 1995)
through May 1997. Under the remaining agreements aggregating $145 million, the
Company collects interest based on specified floating interest rates of one
month LIBOR (rate of 6.1% at December 29, 1995) and pays interest at fixed
rates (average rate of 6.4% at December 29, 1995). These agreements expire in
1996 through 1998. 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 all BBB+ or better. The Company
is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the contracting
parties to the interest rate swap agreements; however, the Company does not
anticipate non-performance by the contracting parties.

  Cash paid for interest for continuing operations, net of amounts
capitalized, was $177 million in 1995, $157 million in 1994 and $174 million
in 1993. Deferred financing costs, which are included in other assets,
amounted to $37 million and $31 million at December 29, 1995 and December 30,
1994, respectively.
 
9. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBT
 
  In June 1991, the Company issued $675 million (principal amount at maturity)
of zero coupon convertible subordinated debt in the form of Liquid Yield
Option Notes ("LYONs") due 2006. Pursuant to the Marriott International
Distribution, Marriott International assumed 90% and the Company retained 10%
of the debt obligations evidenced by the LYONs. The LYONs were convertible
into 13.277 shares each of the Company's and Marriott International's common
stock for each $1,000 principal amount of LYONs. On December 13, 1993, the
Company initiated a call of the LYONs redeemable on January 25, 1994.
Substantially all of the LYONs' holders elected to convert their LYONs into
common stock prior to the redemption. Such conversions represented 8.3 million
shares of the Company's common stock issued in 1993 and .7 million shares
issued in 1994.

10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
  Three hundred million shares of common stock, with a par value of $1 per
share, are authorized, of which 159.7 million and 153.6 million were issued
and outstanding as of December 29, 1995 and December 30, 1994, respectively.
One million shares of no par value preferred stock are authorized. During
1995, substantially all outstanding shares of such preferred stock were
converted into approximately five million shares of common stock. The
remaining outstanding shares of preferred stock which were not converted were
defeased prior to December 29, 1995 and are no longer outstanding. Additional
paid-in capital at December 29, 1995 includes obligations for deferred
compensation of $9 million.
 
  On January 27, 1994, the Company completed the issuance of 20.1 million
shares of common stock for net proceeds of $230 million. In connection with
the class action settlement discussed in Note 17, the Company issued warrants
to purchase up to 7.7 million shares of the Company's common stock in 1994.
The warrants are exercisable for five years from the Marriott International
Distribution Date, at $8.00 per share during the first three years and $10.00
per share during the last two years. As of December 29, 1995, there were
approximately 7.5 million warrants outstanding.
 
  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 to shareholders of
record on February 20, 1989. Each right entitles 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 will be
exercisable 10 days after a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of
20% or more of the Company's common stock, or begins a tender or Exchange
Offer for 30% or more of the Company's common stock. Shares owned by a person
or group on February 3, 1989 and held continuously thereafter are exempt for
purposes of determining beneficial ownership under the rights plan. The rights
are non-voting and will expire on February 2, 1999, unless exercised or
previously redeemed by the Company for $.01 each. If the Company is 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 acquirer
having a value of twice the exercise price of the right.

  Under the comprehensive stock plan (the "Comprehensive plan"), 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. In addition, the Company has
an employee stock purchase plan (the "stock purchase plan"). The principal
terms and conditions of the two plans are summarized below.
 
  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. Options granted before May 11, 1990 expire 10 years after the
date of grant and nonqualified options granted on or after May 11, 1990 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.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
In connection with the Marriott International Distribution, 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 Special Dividend, the then 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. For all options held by certain current and former
employees of Marriott International, the number and exercise price of the
options were adjusted based on the trading prices of shares of the Company's
common stock immediately before and after the Special Dividend. Therefore, the
options outstanding reflect these revised exercise prices. 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
cash subsequent to exercise of the options held by the certain former and

  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. Deferred stock incentive plan shares granted
in 1990 and prior years generally vest in annual installments commencing one
year after the date of grant and continuing until retirement. Employees also
could elect to forfeit one-fourth of their deferred stock incentive plan award
in exchange for accelerated vesting over a 10-year period. The Company accrues
compensation expense for the fair market value of the shares on the date of
grant, less estimated forfeitures. In 1995, 1994 and 1993, 158,000, 159,000,
and 489,000 shares were granted, respectively, under this plan.
 
  In 1993, 3,537,000 restricted stock plan shares under the comprehensive plan
were issued to officers and key executives and will be distributed over the
next three to ten 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 stock. Subsequent to year-end, 2,133,000 shares of
additional restricted shares were granted to certain key employees under terms
and conditions similar to the 1993 grants. The Company recorded compensation
expense of $5 million, $6 million and $400,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, related to these awards.
 
  Under the terms of the stock purchase plan, eligible employees may purchase
common stock through payroll deductions at the lower of market value at the
beginning or end of the plan year.
 
12. PROFIT SHARING AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS
 
  The Company contributes to profit sharing and other defined contribution
plans for the benefit of employees meeting certain eligibility requirements
and electing participation in the plans. The amount to be matched by the
Company is determined annually by the Board of Directors, and totaled $17
million for 1993. The Company contributions were not significant in 1994 and
1995.
 
  The Company provides medical benefits to a limited number of retired
employees meeting restrictive eligibility requirements. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" during 1994.
Adoption of SFAS No. 112 did not have a material effect on the accompanying
financial statements.
 
13. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
 
  In 1995, the Company acquired nine full service hotels totaling
approximately 3,900 rooms in separate transactions for approximately $390
million. In 1994, the Company acquired 15 full service hotels (approximately
6,000 rooms) in several transactions for approximately $443 million. The
Company also provided 100% financing totaling approximately $35 million to an
affiliated partnership, in which the Company owns the sole general partner
interest, for the acquisition of two full-service hotels (totaling another 684
rooms). Additionally, the Company acquired a controlling interest in one 662-
room, full-service hotel through an equity investment of $16 million and debt
financing of $36 million (the debt was subsequently sold in 1995). The Company
accounts for all of these properties as owned hotels for accounting purposes.
 
  During the first and third quarters of 1995, 37 of the Company's Courtyard
properties were sold and leased back from a real estate investment trust (the
"REIT") for approximately $330 million. The Company received net proceeds from
the two transactions of approximately $297 million and will receive
approximately $33 million upon expiration of the leases. A deferred gain of
$14 million on the sale/leaseback transactions will be amortized over the
initial term of the leases.
   
  In February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with the REIT to
sell and lease back 16 of its Courtyard properties and 18 of its Residence Inn
properties for $349 million (10% of which would be deferred). This transaction
is expected to close in the first and second quarters of 1996. Transactions to
acquire, or purchase controlling interest in, five additional full-service
hotels have been consummated or are expected to close in early 1996.     
 
  In the third quarter of 1994, the Company completed the sale of 26 of its
Fairfield Inns to an unrelated third party. The net proceeds from the sale of
such hotels were approximately $114 million, which exceeded the carrying value
of the hotels by approximately $12 million. Approximately $27 million of the
proceeds was payable in the form of a note from the purchaser. The gain on the
sale of these hotels has been deferred. During 1994, the Company sold its 14
senior living communities to an unrelated party for $320 million, which
approximated the communities' carrying value.

Valuations for secured debt are determined based on the expected future
payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The fair values of the New Line of
Credit and other notes are estimated to be equal to their carrying value.
Senior Notes are valued based on quoted market prices.
 
  The Company is contingently liable under various guarantees of obligations
of certain affiliates (affiliate debt service commitments) with a maximum
commitment of $173 million at December 29, 1995 and $236 million at December
30, 1994. Subsequent to year end, such maximum commitment was reduced to $128
million. A fair value is assigned to commitments with expected future
fundings. The fair value of the commitments represents the net expected future
payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates. Such payments are accrued on an
undiscounted basis.
 
  The fair value of interest rate swap agreements is based on the estimated
amount the Company would receive to terminate the swap agreements. The
aggregate notional amount of the agreements was $545 million at December 29,
1995 and $500 million at December 30, 1994.
 
15. RELATIONSHIP WITH MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL
 
  The Company and Marriott International have entered into agreements which
provide, among other things, that (i) most of the Company's lodging properties
will be 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 16); (ii) the
Company leased its owned senior living communities to Marriott International
prior to their disposal (see Note 13); (iii) Marriott International guarantees
the Company's performance in connection with certain loans and other
obligations; (iv) the Company can borrow up to $225

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
million for certain permitted uses under the New Line of Credit (see Note 8);
(v) the Company has borrowed $109 million of first mortgage financing for
construction of the Philadelphia Marriott Hotel (see Note 8); (vi) Marriott
International provided the Company with $70 million of mortgage financing in
1995 for the acquisition of three full-service properties by the Company at an
average interest rate of 8.5%; (vii) three of the Company's full-service
properties are operated under franchise agreements with Marriott International
with terms of 10 to 30 years; and (viii) Marriott International provides
certain administrative services under transitional services agreements.
 
  In 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company paid to Marriott International $67
million, $41 million and $5 million, respectively, in lodging management fees;
$21 million, $23 million and $5 million, respectively, in interest and
commitment fees under the lines of credit with Marriott International, the
Philadelphia Marriott Hotel mortgage and mortgages for three additional full-
service properties; $12 million, $11 million and $3 million, respectively,
under the various transitional service agreements; and earned $14 million and
$5 million under the senior living community leases during 1994 and 1993. The
Company also paid Marriott International $1 million of franchise fees in 1995.
 
  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.
 
  In 1995, the Company also acquired a full-service property from a
partnership in which Marriott International owned a 50% interest.
 
16. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  The Company is party to management agreements (the "Agreements") which
provide for Marriott International to manage most of 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-
and-one-half to four percent of sales and incentive management fees generally
equal to 40% 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. For certain full-
service hotels acquired after September 8, 1995, the incentive management fee
is equal to 20% of Operating Profits. 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 cancelled under certain
conditions, although such cancellation will not trigger the cancellation of
any other Agreement.
 
  The limited-service properties are subject to the terms of a "Consolidation
Agreement" pursuant to which (i) certain fees payable under the management
agreement with respect to a particular lodging property will be determined on
a consolidated basis with certain fees payable under the Agreements for all
lodging properties of the same type, and (ii) until December 31, 2000, certain
base fees payable under the management agreement with respect to a particular
lodging property will be waived in return for payment upon the sale or certain
financings of such properties. After any lodging property is sold or financed,
the Consolidation Agreement will no longer be applicable to such property. The
Agreements with respect to the Company's full-service hotels are not subject
to the Consolidation Agreement and the management fees payable to Marriott
International under a single Agreement are calculated solely with respect to
the lodging facility managed thereunder.
 
  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

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
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 full-service hotels also
participate in Marriott's Honored Guest Awards Program and the Courtyard
hotels in the Courtyard Club. The cost of these programs are charged to all
hotels in the respective hotel system.
 
  The Company 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, the
Company will be required to establish escrow accounts for such purposes under
terms outlined in the Agreements.
 
  At December 29, 1995 and December 30, 1994, $65 million and $52 million,
respectively, have been advanced to the hotel managers for working capital and
are included in "Due From Hotel Managers" in the accompanying balance sheet.
 
17. LITIGATION
 
  In March 1993, the Company reached agreement in principle (the "Class Action
Settlement") with certain holders and recent purchasers of the Company's Old
Notes, who had either instituted or threatened litigation in response to the
Marriott International Distribution. In August 1993, the United States
District Court approved the Class Action Settlement. In connection with this
settlement, the Company issued warrants in 1994 to purchase up to 7.7 million
shares of Host Marriott common stock (see Note 10).
 
  A group of bondholders (the "PPM Group"), purported to have at one time
owned approximately $120 million of Senior Notes, and another group purporting
to hold approximately $7.5 million of Senior Notes, opted out of the Class
Action Settlement. The PPM Group alleged that laws had been violated in
connection with the sale by the Company of certain series of its Senior Notes
and debentures and claimed damages of approximately $30 million. The group
purporting to hold $7.5 million of Senior Notes settled with the Company in
April 1994. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company repurchased the
Senior Notes at their par value in the second quarter of 1994.
 
  In September 1994, the Company settled with certain members of the PPM Group
whose claims represented about 40% of the PPM Group's aggregate claims. The
claims of the remainder of the PPM Group went to trial in September 1994, and
in October 1994, the judge declared a mistrial based on the inability of the
jury to reach a verdict. In January 1995, the judge granted the Company's
motion for judgment in its favor on the PPM Group's claims as a matter of law.
An appeal was filed by the PPM Group in February 1995. The appeal was argued
in February 1996 and a decision is pending.
 
  The Company believes that all claims of the PPM Group are without merit and
that the appeal will not be successful.
 
  The Company 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 Company.
 
18. HOTEL OPERATIONS
 
  As discussed in Note 1, subsequent to the Marriott International
Distribution, hotel revenues reflect house profit from the Company's hotel
properties. House profit reflects the net revenues flowing to the Company as
property owner and represents all gross hotel operating revenues, less all
gross property-level expenses, excluding depreciation, management fees, real
and personal property taxes, ground and equipment rent, insurance

and certain other costs, which are classified as operating costs and expenses.
Prior to the Marriott International Distribution, hotel revenues included room
sales and food and beverage sales at hotel properties. Accordingly, the
following table presents the details of the Company's house profit for 1995,
1994 and 1993. In 1993, the Company's hotel revenues presented in the
accompanying Statement of Operations represent the Company's post-Marriott
International Distribution house profit (revenues) for 1993 plus the pre-
Marriott International Distribution gross hotel sales for 1993.

  The first three quarters consist of 12 weeks each, and the fourth quarter
includes 16 weeks.
 
  The quarterly financial data, as presented in prior filings, has been
restated to reflect the results of the Operating Group as discontinued
operations.
 
  Second quarter 1995 results include a $10 million pre-tax charge to write
down the carrying value of five individual Courtyard and Residence Inn
properties to their net realizable values (see Note 4). Fourth quarter 1995
results include a $60 million pre-tax charge to write down an undeveloped land
parcel to its estimated sales value (see Note 4). The fourth quarter 1995 net
loss includes a pre-tax charge of $47 million for the adoption of SFAS No. 121
(see Note 1) and a pre-tax $15 million restructuring charge, both of which
were related to HM Services and have been included in discontinued operations
in the accompanying 1995 statement of operations. Second and fourth quarter
1995 results include extraordinary after-tax losses of $17 million and $3
million, respectively, on the extinguishment of debt (see Note 8).
 
  Third and fourth quarter 1994 results each include extraordinary after-tax
losses of $3 million on the extinguishment of debt. In the second quarter of
1994, the Company reduced its general liability and workers' compensation
insurance reserves by $4 million due to favorable claims experience.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
TO THE OWNERS OF THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH AIRPORT MARRIOTT:
   
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Dallas/Fort Worth
Airport Marriott, as defined in Note 1, as of December 30, 1994, and the
related statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December
30, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management
of the PHLP, as defined in Note 1. 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Dallas/Fort Worth
Airport Marriott (as defined in Note 1) as of December 30, 1994, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. THE HOTEL
 
 Basis of Presentation
 
  On August 22, 1995 ("Sale Date"), HMC Acquisitions Properties, Inc., a
wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Host Marriott Corporation, purchased the
building, leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment related
to the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott located in Irving, Texas (the
"Hotel") from Potomac Hotel Limited Partnership ("PHLP"), a Delaware limited
partnership, for approximately $45 million. The Hotel was part of a portfolio
of properties owned by PHLP. The Hotel, with approximately 500 rooms, is
operated by Marriott International, Inc. as part of the Marriott Hotels,
Resorts and Suites full-service hotel system.
 
  The Hotel's purchase price at the Sale Date was in excess of its carrying
value. No adjustments related to the resultant sale are reflected in the
accompanying statements.
   
  These financial statements present the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows related to the business of the Dallas/Fort Worth
Airport Marriott which is a lesser component of PHLP for all periods
presented. PHLP's historical basis in assets and liabilities of the Hotel have
been carried over. Changes in Net Advances to PHLP represent the operating
results of the Hotel adjusted for net cash transferred between PHLP and the
Hotel.     
 
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Basis of Accounting
 
  The Hotel's records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting and
its fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest to December 31.
 
 Revenues
 
  Revenues represent house profit, which is the Hotel's sales less property-
level expenses excluding depreciation, management fees, real and personal
property taxes, insurance and certain other costs which are classified as
operating costs and expenses.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Replacements and improvements
are capitalized as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 30 years for
buildings and five to six years for furniture and equipment.
 
 Working Capital and Supplies
   
  Pursuant to the terms of the Hotel's management agreement discussed in Note
6, the Hotel is required to provide the respective manager with working
capital and supplies to meet its operating needs. The manager converts cash
advanced by PHLP into other forms of working capital consisting primarily of
operating cash, inventories, and trade receivables and payables which are
maintained and controlled by the manager. Upon the termination of the
agreements, it is expected that the working capital and supplies will be
partially reconverted into cash and returned to PHLP or transferred to a
subsequent owner or operator for consideration. Such working capital and
supplies are also pledged as security for the Hotel's share of PHLP's debt as
described in Note 5. As a result of these conditions, the individual
components of working capital and supplies controlled by the manager is not
reflected in the accompanying balance sheet.

 Income Taxes
 
  Provision for Federal or state income taxes has not been made in the
accompanying financial statements since PHLP does not pay income taxes but,
rather, allocates its profits and losses to individual partners.

  All property and equipment is pledged as security against the Hotel's
portion of PHLP's indebtedness and in the case of rental payments from the
Hotel's portion of FF&E leases, the loans related to FF&E of the Hotel. The
amounts above reflect PHLP's historical basis in the Hotel's property and
equipment and do not reflect the impact of the sale to HMC Acquisition
Properties Inc. on August 22, 1995.
 
NOTE 5. DEBT
 
 Bank Loan
 
  On December 22, 1987, PHLP borrowed $245 million (the "Bank Loan") from The
Mitsui Trust and Banking Company (the "Bank Lender") secured by seven of PHLP
hotels (the "Bank Hotels"). The Bank Loan bore interest at an effective fixed
rate of 10.37% and required monthly, interest-only payments.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
  The Bank Loan matured on December 22, 1994, and was not repaid because PHLP
had insufficient funds to do so. At December 22, 1994, the principal balance
of the Bank Loan was $245 million.
 
  PHLP entered into a forbearance agreement with the Bank Lender under which
the Lender agreed not to exercise its rights and remedies for nonpayment of
the Bank Loan. PHLP subsequently refinanced (the "Refinancing") the Bank Loan.
Under the Refinancing, PHLP was required to repay $44 million in principal and
Host Marriott Corporation advanced $10 million under an existing Bank Loan
guaranty. In exchange for the lender's agreement to forbear, PHLP agreed to
continue to make monthly interest payments at a rate equal to the one-month
LIBOR plus two percentage points for the period December 22, 1994 through June
21, 1995 and the one-month LIBOR plus two and one quarter percentage points
for the period June 22, 1995 through the end of the extended forbearance
period.
 
  Approximately $51.4 million of the $245 million Bank Loan principal has been
allocated to the Hotel based on the relative amounts of title insurance
specified by the lender to be required for the Hotel as compared to the total
title insurance for the seven hotels when the Bank Loan originated in 1987.
 
 Other Loans
 
  As of December 30, 1994, $897,000 was outstanding to Host Marriott for an
FF&E loan related to the Hotel. The FF&E loan is nonrecourse to the Parent and
is effectively secured by payments from Marriott International, Inc. under the
FF&E Lease, as defined in Note 6 below. As of December 30, 1994, Marriott
International, Inc. owed $980,000, including related interest costs, for the
Hotel FF&E capital lease.
 
NOTE 6. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
 
  Marriott International, Inc. (the "Manager") operates the Hotel pursuant to
a long-term management agreement (the "Management Agreement") for a term of 25
years from the opening of the Hotel with renewal terms, at the option of the
Manager, of up to an additional 50 years. The Management Agreement provides
for payment of base management fees equal to 8% of gross hotel sales and
incentive management fees equal to 20% of hotel operating profits (as defined,
calculated before debt service on total Parent debt), and additional incentive
fees, after certain returns to the Parent, ranging from 10% to 70% depending
on the level of returns made to the partners. Payment of the incentive
management fees is dependent upon the availability of cash flow after debt
service, and payable only after repayment of certain debt service guaranty
advances and certain priority returns to the Parent expressed as a percentage
of limited partner invested equity. Through December 30, 1994, no incentive
fees have been paid since inception. Deferred base fees were $7,360,000 as of
December 30, 1994. Deferred incentive management fees were $19,523,000 as of
December 30, 1994. In the event of early termination of the Management
Agreement, the Manager will be owed additional fees based on the unexpired
term and expected future base and incentive management fees.
 
  In accordance with the Management Agreement, the Manager is required to
lease all FF&E replacements from the Hotel (the "FF&E Lease") for terms of up
to six years. Lease payments represent an amount approximately equal to the
principal amortization, interest and fees associated with indebtedness
incurred by the Hotel to finance the FF&E replacements and any sales and use
taxes, personal property taxes, insurance premiums and additional costs
incurred by the Parent in connection with the acquisition and use of such
replacements. As of December 30, 1994, the Manager was obligated to pay
$980,000 (including related interest costs) to the Hotel during the term of
this agreement.
 
  On February 24, 1995, the Parent, Bank Lender and the Manager entered into a
cash collateral agreement with terms effective January 1, 1995. Effective
January 1, 1995, 4% of gross hotel sales must be deposited in a property
improvement fund for the future furniture, fixtures and equipment needs of the
Hotel. Additionally, 1%

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
of gross hotel sales must be deposited in a restricted cash account and are
subordinated to the payment of debt service on the Bank Loan.
 
  The cash collateral agreement also adjusted the base management fee earned
by the Manager under the management agreement from 8% to 3% of gross hotel
sales effective January 1, 1995. The payment of 1% of the 3% base fee earned
is subordinated to the payment of debt service on the Bank Loan. As a result,
the subordinated base management fees are set aside in a restricted cash
account where it will be held and made available for the payment of debt
service.
 
  In conjunction with the acquisition of the Hotel by HMC Acquisition
Properties, Inc., a new management agreement was entered into with the
Manager. The new agreement provides for payment of base management fees equal
to three percent of sales and a formula based incentive management fee limited
to 20% of fiscal year Hotel operating profit (as defined). Had these terms
been in effect for the year ended December 30, 1994, pro forma base and
incentive management fees would have been $688,000.
 
  In connection with the Refinancing approximately $27 million of deferred
management fees related to the Hotel were forgiven by the Manager on August
22, 1995.
 
  Additionally, the Parent has advanced $946,000 to the manager for working
capital and supplies related to the Hotel which is included in Due from
Marriott International, Inc.

  1. The accompanying financial statements of the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport
Marriott (the "Hotel") have been prepared without audit. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.
The Hotel believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the
fiscal year ended December 30, 1994 included elsewhere in this Registration
Statement.
 
  In the opinion of the Hotel, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Hotel as of August
11, 1995 and the results of operations and cash flows for the thirty-two weeks
ended August 12, 1994 and August 11, 1995. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of fiscal year performance because of the impact of seasonal and
short-term variations.
 
  2. House profit represents hotel operating results less property-level
expenses excluding depreciation, management fees, real and personal property
taxes, insurance and certain other costs which are classified as operating
costs and expenses.
 
  House profit generated by the Hotel for the thirty-two weeks ended August
11, 1995 and August 12, 1994 consists of:

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors
Hilton International Co.
   
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of New York Vista (a
facility of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey) as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. 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 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 report dated January 20, 1995 and January 21, 1994, we expressed an
opinion that the 1994, 1993 and 1992 financial statements did not fairly
present financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles because the Company
had not obtained actuarial information regarding pension expense and minimum
liability for the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation over plan assets. As
described in Note 6, the Company obtained the requisite actuarial information
in January 1996. Such actuarial information indicated that the minimum
liability for unfunded accumulated benefit obligations over plan assets was
not understated and accordingly, no adjustments were necessary in 1994, 1993
and 1992 for the financial statements to conform with generally accepted
accounting principles. Accordingly, our present opinion on the 1994, 1993 and
1992 financial statements, as presented herein, is unqualified rather than
qualified.
   
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of New York Vista at December
31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1994
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Organization
 
  New York Vista ("Vista"), the hotel located in the World Trade Center in New
York City, is a facility of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (the
"Port Authority"). Significant asset and liability accounts related to Vista
are recorded on the books of the Port Authority and, accordingly, are not
reflected on Vista's financial statements (such amounts relate principally to
property, furnishings and mortgage). Vista is operated by Inhil Co., Inc.
("Inhilco"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hilton International Co. ("Hilton"),
under a management agreement ("Management Agreement").
 
  Vista has no separate legal status or existence. Vista's assets are legally
available for the satisfaction of debts of the Port Authority and not solely
those appearing on the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, as
its debts may result in claims against assets not appearing thereon.
 
  On February 26, 1993, an explosion caused damage to the structure and
interior of the Vista, as well as the adjoining World Trade Center complex. As
a result of the damage, all hotel operations were suspended as of that date.
Certain limited hotel operations resumed on November 1, 1994.
 
 Inventories
 
  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or
market.
 
 Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
 
  In accordance with the Management Agreement, annual charges to operations
are made for the replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment.
Expenditures for the replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment are
charged to the related reserve (see Note 4).
 
 Operating Equipment
 
  The cost of operating equipment, consisting primarily of linen, silverware
and other utensils, is charged in full to operating expenses when purchased.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  Provisions for Federal, state or local income taxes are not reflected in the
accompanying financial statements since the Port Authority is a nontaxable
entity.
 
 Preopening and Other Business Restoration Costs
 
  Preopening and other business restoration costs, which primarily consists of
contract labor and other clean-up costs as well as employee payroll, employee
training expense and marketing expenses incurred in connection with Vista's
resumption of operations, were charged to expense as incurred.
 
 Pension Plans
 
  Certain nonunion employees of Vista are covered by a noncontributory defined
benefit pension plan of Hilton, which provides for normal retirement at age 65
after a minimum of five years' service. Hilton may

terminate the plan at any time. Union employees are covered by a
noncontributory pension plan under their union contract.
 
 Reclassification and Restatement
 
  Certain December 31, 1993 and 1992 amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the December 31, 1994 presentation. The statement of revenues and expenses
for the year ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 has been restated to remove rent
of $1,349,276 and $2,278,696, respectively, which was previously indicated as
to be received from the Port Authority and to include interest expense of
$1,094,213 and $300,000, respectively, in connection with the loan payable,
Inhil Co., Inc. Such amounts were previously included in the difference
between assets and liabilities representing amount due from The Port Authority
of New York and New Jersey on the statement of assets and liabilities as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992 and, accordingly, such amount does not change as a
result of the restatement:

2. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
 
  Vista is managed by Inhilco under the terms of an amended Management
Agreement which, among other matters, provides (i) for payment to Inhilco,
under certain circumstances, of a management fee equal to 3% of revenues, as
defined, and an incentive fee based on a formula, as provided, and (ii) for
the refurbishment of the guest rooms over a three-year period which commenced
in May 1992 at a cost not to exceed $17,600,000. Under the agreement, Inhilco
is required to finance the first $15,000,000 of refurbishment costs.
Refurbishment costs in excess of $15,000,000 are to be funded by the reserves
for capital expenditures and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment
to the extent such funds are available. Interest expense on amounts advanced
by Inhilco accrues at 10% per annum. The amount payable to Inhilco in
connection with the refurbishment, including accrued interest with respect
thereto, which is reflected as loan payable, Inhil Co., Inc. in the
accompanying balance sheet, includes the following:

  For the period subsequent to the commencement of refurbishment (May 1992),
Vista is required to expend revenue proceeds, as defined, in the following
priority: (i) the payment of operating expenses, as defined, (ii) the funding
of the reserves for furniture, fixtures and equipment and capital
expenditures, (iii) the payment of current

and past due debt service on a certain mortgage payable, (iv) the payment of
current and past due interest on amounts advanced by Inhilco during the
refurbishment period and, after the refurbishment period, the payment of
current and past due principal and interest on amounts advanced by Inhilco
amortized at 10% per annum over 7 years, (v) the payment of past due and
current management fees and (vi) the payment of the incentive fee.
 
  The repayment period with respect to principal and interest on amounts
advanced by Inhilco is based on a 7 year amortization period, but it will be
extended for as long as necessary for Inhilco to recover such amounts.
However, if the repayment period extends beyond 7 years, additional interest
will not accrue. With respect to the management fee, any portion of a
management fee not payable to Inhilco from revenue proceeds in the current or
four subsequent years is forfeited. With respect to the incentive fee, such
fee will commence the later of May 1, 2002 or the date of final repayment of
amounts advanced by Inhilco. There is no carryforward of unpaid incentive fee.
 
  The management fee commenced January 1, 1992. For the period prior to the
commencement of refurbishment, January 1, 1992 through April 30, 1992,
management fee expense approximated $364,000. However, since any portion of a
management fee not payable to Inhilco from revenue proceeds in the current or
four subsequent years is forfeited, no management fee expense was recognized
for any periods between May 1, 1992 through December 31, 1994 as during such
periods revenue proceeds were insufficient to require payment of such fee. The
management fee attributable to such periods, approximately $300,000 (1994),
$620,000 (1993) and $800,000 (1992), will be recognized as expense at such
time as payment is probable.
 
  The Management Agreement expires in March 2021. The Port Authority is
required to either extend the Management Agreement for a single 20-year period
or offer a certain lease agreement to Inhilco for such 20-year period in lieu
of the Management Agreement.
 
  In addition, Vista has agreed to perform and finance certain additional
hotel construction. Vista shall be reimbursed the cost of such additional
construction by the Port Authority upon its completion. Amounts due Vista in
connection with such additional construction, which are included in the
difference between assets and liabilities representing the amount due from the
Port Authority, are as follows:

4. RESERVES FOR REPLACEMENT OF FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT AND CAPITAL
EXPENDITURES
 
  The Management Agreement requires annual charges to operations to provide
for the replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment. The annual charge is
equivalent to 5% of gross revenues, to the extent revenues exceed expenses.
The Management Agreement also requires that beginning January 1, 1992 the
following percentages of gross revenue, to the extent revenues exceed
expenses, be charged to operations for capital expenditures: 1% for the first
three years; 1.5% for the next five years; and 2% for the following years
until termination of the agreement.
 
  Due to the suspension of operations resulting from the explosion in February
1993, the above provisions for 1993 are based on actual revenue through
February 26, 1993 and, for the subsequent period, Vista's operating budget for
such period and related business interruption insurance claim. For 1994, the
credit reflects the reduction to the 1993 provisions to record the effect of
the reimbursement offered by the insurance carrier.

  The Management Agreement requires that beginning January 1, 1992 cash from
the operating account equal to the above provisions be deposited by Vista into
a segregated interest bearing bank account. The funds, including interest
earned thereon, shall be used by Vista to pay for capital expenditures,
replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment and certain refurbishment
costs (see Note 2). As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, unfunded restricted cash
was approximately $3,047,000 and $2,335,000, respectively. Interest earned on
the restricted cash account is reflected as a payable to the Port Authority
and is included with amounts due (from)/to the Port Authority (see Note 3).

5. REAL ESTATE TAXES
 
  Vista accrues for payments in lieu of real estate taxes to the Port
Authority based upon space occupied by Vista in the World Trade Center. The
hotel is currently disputing the expense attributable to the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993.
 
6. PENSION PLANS
 
  Certain nonunion employees of Vista are covered by a defined benefit
noncontributory pension plan of Hilton, which provides for normal retirement
at age 65 after a minimum of five years' service. Hilton may terminate the
Plan at any time. Unfunded past service costs are amortized over thirty years.
Vista's policy is to fund pension costs accrued, subject to full funding
limitations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The
assets of the Plan are invested primarily in listed stocks and bonds.
 
  Vista had not obtained actuarial information for the nonunion plan regarding
pension expense for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 and the
minimum liability, if any, for the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation
over plan assets. Management estimated the minimum liability for unfunded
accumulated benefit obligations and pension costs but was unable to provide
the financial statement disclosure required under Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions."
Because of the termination of the Management Agreement (see Note 8), Hilton
obtained the requisite actuarial information in January 1996. Such actuarial
information indicated that the minimum liability for unfunded accumulated
benefit obligations over plan assets was not understated and, accordingly, no
adjustments were necessary in 1994, 1993 and 1992 for the financial statements
to conform with generally accepted accounting principles. In January

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONCLUDED)
1996, Hilton subsequently paid the participants and terminated the Company's
portion of the plan. The total pension expense for 1994, 1993 and 1992 was
approximately $75,000 and $19,000 and $125,000 respectively. Vista makes
annual contributions to the plan equal to the amount accrued for pension
expense. The pension liability approximated $0, $138,000 and $335,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
 
  Vista, under a Collective Bargaining Agreement with the New York Hotel and
Motel Trade Council AFL-CIO, makes contributions into a multi-employer pension
plan. This plan provides defined benefits to union employees. Pension expense
for this plan for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 was
approximately $77,000, $117,000 and $513,000, respectively.
 
7. CONTINGENCIES
 
  During 1993 and 1994, Vista filed insurance claims with its business
interruption insurance carrier requesting reimbursement of damages incurred as
a result of an explosion in February 1993. Other income includes approximately
$5,800,000 (1994) and $15,800,000 (1993) in connection with such insurance
claims. The 1993 financial statements reflect as income the reimbursement
requested for 1993. The 1994 financial statements reflect as income the total
reimbursement offered by the insurance carrier net of the insurance claims
reflected as income in 1993 and amounts applicable to 1995. During 1995, the
claim was settled with the insurance carrier at the total reimbursement
previously offered.
 
  Inhilco has filed a claim against a vendor alleging that damage to the glass
and aluminum facade of Vista resulted from cleaning work performed by such
vendor. The Port Authority has advised Inhilco that if Vista is unable to
recover sufficient amounts from such vendor or the insurer of the hotel to
make the necessary repairs, it would seek to hold Inhilco responsible for the
cost. Inhilco believes it has defenses available to it in the event that such
a claim would be asserted by the Port Authority. Under the terms of the
terminated Management Agreement (see Note 8), Inhilco was released from any
obligation and claims to the Port Authority if the Vista is unable to recover
sufficient amounts from the vendor.
 
  Vista has been named as a defendant in a legal proceeding arising out of a
labor dispute. The management of Vista believes that the ultimate resolution
of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on Vista's
financial condition.
 
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  Inhilco terminated their Management Agreement of the Vista with the Port
Authority effective August 31, 1995. This termination also releases and
discharges Inhilco from any obligations and claims. Under the terms of the
terminated Management Agreement, the Port Authority has the right to be
reimbursed by Inhilco for losses sustained greater than $340,000, within six
months after the termination date, as a result of the breach of certain
representations made by Inhilco.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(UNAUDITED)
 
  1. The accompanying combined financial statements of the New York Vista
Hotel (the "Vista") have been prepared without audit. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.
The Vista believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 included elsewhere herein.
 
  In the opinion of the Vista, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the results of operations and cash flows for the
period from January 1, 1995 through December 22, 1995 and the period from
January 1, 1994 through December 22, 1994. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of fiscal year performance because of the impact of seasonal and
short-term variations.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Partners of Pacific Landmark Hotel, Ltd. and Pacific Gateway, Ltd.
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Pacific Landmark
Hotel, Ltd. and Pacific Gateway, Ltd., limited partnerships, (the
"Partnerships") as of December 31, 1995, and the related combined statements
of operations, changes in partners' deficit and cash flows for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the General
Partners' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the
Partnerships as of December 31, 1994 were audited by other auditors whose
report dated March 10, 1995, except as to Note 6 to the combined financial
statements, which is as of January 5, 1996, expressed an unqualified opinion
on those statements. We also audited the adjustments described in Note 2 that
were applied to restate the 1994 financial statements. In our opinion, such
adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Pacific Landmark Hotel,
Ltd. and Pacific Gateway, Ltd. as of December 31, 1995, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1. THE PARTNERSHIP
 
 Description of the Partnership
 
  Pacific Landmark Hotel, Ltd. ("Landmark"), a California limited partnership,
was formed on October 2, 1981 to develop, construct and own a 681-room hotel
(Tower I) and an adjacent marina. Upon completion of construction, hotel
operations for Tower I commenced on March 15, 1984. On May 1, 1985, Landmark
completed construction of an $11 million conference center. The conference
center is adjacent to Tower I and provides additional meeting and exhibition
space for the hotel.
 
  Pacific Gateway, Ltd. ("Gateway"), a California limited partnership, was
formed on February 28, 1984 to develop, construct and own an adjacent 683-room
hotel (Tower II). On December 15, 1987, construction was completed and the
hotel commenced operations (Landmark and Gateway are collectively referred to
as the "Partnerships"). The accompanying combined financial statements include
Landmark and Gateway.
 
  Tower I, Tower II and the conference center are collectively referred to as
(the "Hotel"). The Hotel is located near downtown San Diego, California on bay
front property. The Hotel is managed as part of the Marriott hotel system by
Marriott International, Inc. (the "Manager").
 
  Host Marriott Corporation, through an affiliate, owns a 5% general partner
interest in the Partnerships. On December 29, 1995, Host Marriott
Corporation's operations were divided into two separate companies: Host
Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott") and Host Marriott Services Corporation.
Entities controlled by Douglas F. Manchester, the developer of the Hotel, own
a 5% general partner interest in the Partnerships and the remaining limited
partner interests. The developer is the managing general partner.
 
 Partnership Allocations and Distributions
 
  For financial reporting purposes, net income and net losses for the
Partnerships are allocated among the partners based upon their stated
interests in cash available for distribution.
 
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Basis of Accounting
 
  The Partnerships' records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting
and their fiscal years coincide with the calendar year.
 
 Use of Estimates
 
  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.
 
 Basis of Presentation
 
  The Partnerships changed the presentation of its combined balance sheet to
an unclassified format in order to be consistent with current industry
practice. The 1994 amounts were conformed to be consistent with the 1995
presentation.

            PACIFIC LANDMARK HOTEL, LTD. AND PACIFIC GATEWAY, LTD.
 
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 Revenues and Expenses
 
  The Partnerships also changed the presentation of operating revenues and
expenses in the accompanying combined statement of operations. Revenues in the
new presentation represent house profit from the Hotel because the
Partnerships have delegated substantially all of the operating decisions
related to the generation of house profit from the Hotel to the Manager. House
profit reflects the net revenues flowing to the Partnerships as property
owners and represents hotel operating results less property-level expenses,
excluding depreciation and amortization, base management fees, real and
personal property taxes, ground and equipment rent, insurance and certain
other costs, which are classified as operating costs and expenses (see Note
3). There was no effect in any period on reported net loss, net loss per
limited partner unit or partners' deficit as a result of this presentational
change. The 1994 combined statement of operations was conformed to be
consistent with the 1995 presentation.
 
 New Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
 
  The Partnerships are required to adopt Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

December 31, 1996. The Partnerships do not expect that the adoption of SFAS
No. 121 will have a material effect on its combined financial statements.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the
assets:

 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  The Partnerships consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  Provisions for Federal and state income taxes have not been made in the
accompanying combined financial statements since the Partnerships do not pay
income taxes but rather allocate profits and losses to the individual
partners. Significant differences exist between the net loss reported for
financial reporting purposes and the net loss as reported in the Partnerships'
tax returns. These differences are primarily due to the use, for income tax
purposes, of accelerated depreciation methods and shorter depreciable lives of
assets.

NOTE 6. DEBT
 
 Mortgage Debt
 
  On October 7, 1987, the Partnerships signed Loan Modification Agreements
with a third party lender (the "Loan Agreements") which modified the terms of
the original Landmark and Gateway mortgage loans of $117.4 million and $90.0
million, respectively. Under the Loan Agreements, from October 1992 through
loan maturity on September 30, 1997, the mortgage loans bear interest at a
rate of the lesser of the Eleventh District Average Cost of Funds Index plus
2.5 percentage points or 11% per annum. Monthly payments represent the amount
necessary to amortize the outstanding principal balances over a thirty year
period. Interest is accrued on the amount by which the accrued interest on the
entire unpaid balance of the mortgages exceeds the interest paid. Upon sale or
refinancing, the lender may receive the greater of the accrued deferred
interest or a portion of the net proceeds for sale or refinancing. The
mortgage debt is collaterized by first deeds of trust on all the property and
equipment of the Hotel and an assignment of an operating agreement.
 
  Upon the execution of the Loan Agreements, Host Marriott provided
foreclosure guarantees of $90.0 million on the Gateway mortgage loan and $29.4
million on the Landmark mortgage loan. Pursuant to the foreclosure guarantees,
amounts will be payable upon a foreclosure of the Hotel and only in the event
that proceeds from the foreclosure sale are less than the guaranteed amounts.
 
  First mortgage debt maturities, at December 31, 1995 are (in thousands):

 Notes to General Partners or Affiliates
 
  The Partnerships borrowed $10 million from an affiliate of the developer.
The loan bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum compounded annually.
Minimum annual payments ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 were to begin in
1993 and are to be applied first to unpaid interest. As of December 31, 1995,
no payments have been made. Unpaid principal and accrued interest are due in
December 1997. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, a total of $12,852,000 and
$10,775,000, respectively, of interest had accrued. The note is collaterized
by second deeds of trust on the Partnerships' property.
 
  The Partnerships borrowed $12 million from an affiliate of Host Marriott.
The loan bears interest at an annual compounded rate of 10% per annum with
principal and accrued interest due in October 1997 or upon a refinancing, sale
or other transfer of interest. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, a total of
$14,342,000 and $11,947,000, respectively, of interest had accrued. The notes
are collateralized by third deeds of trust on the Partnerships' property.
 
NOTE 7. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
 
  In 1987, the Partnerships entered into hotel management agreements (the
"Agreements") with Marriott International Inc. ("MII") to manage the Hotel for
an initial term of 30 years, expiring in 2017. The Agreements automatically
renew for three consecutive periods of ten years. MII earns a base management
fee equal to 3.5% of gross sales. MII also is entitled to an incentive
management fee equal to 30% of available cash flow, as defined. As of December
31, 1995, no incentive management fees have been earned or paid.
 
                                     F-61
<PAGE>
 
            PACIFIC LANDMARK HOTEL, LTD. AND PACIFIC GATEWAY, LTD.
 
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, MII is required to furnish the
Hotel with certain services ("Chain Services") which are generally provided on
a central or regional basis to all hotels in the Marriott full service 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 full service hotels, managed, owned or leased by MII
or its subsidiaries. In addition, the Hotels participate in Marriott's Honored
Guest Awards Program ("HGA"). The cost of this program is charged to all
hotels in the Marriott full service hotel system based upon the HGA sales at
each hotel. The total amount of Chain Services and HGA costs were $2,396,000
and $2,201,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, the Partnerships are required to
provide MII with working capital and supplies to meet the operating needs of
the Hotels. MII converts cash advanced by the Partnerships into other forms of
working capital consisting primarily of operating cash, inventories, and trade
receivables and payables which are maintained and controlled by MII. Upon
termination of the Agreements, the working capital and supplies will be
returned to the Partnerships. The individual components of working capital and
supplies controlled by MII are not reflected in the Partnerships' combined
balance sheet. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, amounts have been advanced to
MII for working capital and supplies which are included in Due from Marriott
International, Inc. in the accompanying combined balance sheet.
 
  The Agreements provide for the establishment of a property improvement fund
to pay for replacements and renewals of the Hotel's building, furniture and
equipment. Contributions to the fund are based on a percentage of gross Hotel
sales. Contributions to the fund for the Partnerships were 4% in 1995 and
1994.
 
NOTE 8. GROUND LEASE
 
  The Partnerships lease the land from the San Diego Unified Port District on
which the Hotel and marina are located. The initial term of the leases expire
on March 31, 2032 with an option to extend the leases to March 31, 2048. Upon
expiration or termination of the leases, title to the Hotel and all
improvements revert to the lessor. The leases require contingent rents based
on specified percentages of gross Hotel sales. Total minimum rents through
March 2007 under existing leases at December 31, 1995 were scheduled to be $1
million per annum. See Note 10.
 
  Minimum annual rent for the period April 2007 through March 31, 2048 is to
be at least 75% of the average contingent rents during the last three years of
the previous rental period. Contingent rentals are based on varying percentage
of total revenues. Rent expense for fiscal year 1995 and 1994 was $5.2 million
and $4.9 million, respectively.
 
NOTE 9. LITIGATION
 
  In December 1992, the Partnerships filed a complaint against Marriott
International, Inc. and Host Marriott alleging, among other things, breach of
contract and breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The defendants
filed a cross-complaint for damages alleging breach of contract, defamation
and other charges. Subsequent to year end, the Partnerships settled all
litigation (see Note 10). Accordingly, no provision for any liability has been
made in the accompanying combined financial statements.
 
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
  On January 10, 1996 (the "Effective Date"), the Partnerships were
restructured and the Landmark partnership ceased to exist and all of its
assets and properties were merged and transferred into the Gateway partnership
(the "Restructured Partnership"). On the Effective Date, a subsidiary of Host
Marriott paid $13.5 million in cash and contributed as equity certain notes
receivables from the partnerships and one of the partners.
 
                                     F-62
<PAGE>
 
            PACIFIC LANDMARK HOTEL, LTD. AND PACIFIC GATEWAY, LTD.
 
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
In return, a Host Marriott subsidiary became a sole 10% managing general
partner and another Host Marriott subsidiary became a 41% limited partner. The
remaining 49% limited partnership interests continue to be held by entities
controlled by Douglas Manchester.
 
  In conjunction with the restructuring, the mortgage debt was extended and
restructured into two loans, one in the principal amount of $150 million
("Loan A") and the other in the principal amount of $56.1 million ("Loan B").
Both of these loans mature on January 31, 2006. Loan A bears an interest rate
equal to the six month London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.5
percentage points. Interest on Loan B accrues at LIBOR plus 2.75 percentage
points. Loan A and Loan B amortize based on a 25 and 15 year schedule,
respectively. As a condition to the loan restructuring, MII provided a $15
million debt service guarantee on Loan B. As additional security, the
Restructured Partnership pledged a $10 million debt service reserve as
security for obligations under Loan B. All accrued deferred interest on the
old mortgage debt as of the Effective Date, was waived by the lender.
 
  On January 17, 1996, the Restructured Partnership amended and combined the
hotel management agreements into one agreement. The restructured hotel
management agreement expires on December 31, 2010. Beginning in 1996, MII
earns a base management fee equal to 3.0% of gross Hotel sales, excluding
marina, parking and retail revenues, of which 2% of gross Hotel sales, shall
be deferred in any fiscal year that cash flow is less than debt service on
Loan A and Loan B. Any base management fees not paid in a fiscal year are
waived. MII also is entitled to an incentive management fee equal to 10% of
available cash flow, as defined, over $23 million. Incentive management fees
earned but not paid are deferred and payable in subsequent years, without
interest, from 50% of net refinancing or sales proceeds. The required
contribution to the property improvement fund will equal 4% of gross Hotel
sales through 1997 and 5% thereafter of which 1% of gross Hotel sales is
subordinated to debt service on Loan A and Loan B. Fund contributions which
are deferred may be paid in subsequent years based on the cash flow of the
Restructured Partnership.
 
  As a result of the Partnership restructuring, the leases with the San Diego
Unified Port District were amended and combined into one ground lease. The
restructured term expires on November 30, 2061. The lease requires annual
rents through November 30, 2006 of the greater of $3.8 million or varying
percentages of certain hotel sales.

The General Partners
Pacific Landmark Hotel, Ltd. and Pacific Gateway, Ltd.:
 
  We have audited the combined financial statements of Pacific Landmark Hotel,
Ltd. and Pacific Gateway, Ltd. (limited partnerships), as listed in the
accompanying index to financial statements. These combined financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined 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 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Pacific
Landmark Hotel, Ltd. and Pacific Gateway, Ltd. as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years in the two-year period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with

(1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Organization
 
  Pacific Landmark Hotel, Ltd. (Landmark), a California limited partnership,
was formed on October 2, 1981 to develop, construct and own a 681-room hotel
(Tower I) and an adjacent Marina. Upon completion of construction, hotel
operations for Tower I commenced on March 15, 1984. On May 1, 1985, Landmark
completed construction of an $11 million conference center. The conference
center is adjacent to Tower I and provides additional meeting and exhibition
space for the hotel.
 
  Pacific Gateway, Ltd. (Gateway), a California limited partnership, was
formed on February 28, 1984 to develop, construct and own a 683-room hotel
(Tower II) adjacent to Tower I. On December 15, 1987, construction was
completed and the hotel commenced operations (Landmark and Gateway are
collectively referred to as the "Partnerships" and Tower I, Tower II and the
Marina are collectively referred to as the "Hotel").
 
  The Hotel is located near downtown San Diego, California, on bay front
property leased from the San Diego Unified Port District. The Partnerships
have entered into an agreement with Marriott International, Inc. (Marriott) to
operate and manage the Hotel (Note 5). Host Marriott Corporation, an affiliate
of Marriott, owns a 5% general partnership interest in the Partnerships. The
developer of the Hotel is the other general partner.
 
  The combined financial statements include the Partnerships. The general
partners, through their affiliates, hold general and limited partnership
interests aggregating effectively 100% of the Partnerships. Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the combined
financial statements.
 
 Inventories
 
  Food, beverage and operating supplies inventories are stated at the lower of
cost or market. Food and beverage inventories are determined using the first-
in, first-out method. Operating supplies inventories are determined using the
average cost method.
 
 Statements of Cash Flows
 
  For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnerships consider all
highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity date of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
 
 China, Glassware, Silver and Linen
 
  China, glassware and silver are stated at the lower of cost or market,
determined on the first-in, first-out method. The initial supply of linen has
been capitalized; subsequent replacements are expensed.
 
 Property and Equipment and Depreciation
 
  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which
range from five to 40 years.
 
 Provision for Impairment Losses
 
  Provision is made for impairment losses if estimated future operating cash
flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) over a long-term holding
period, plus estimated disposition proceeds (undiscounted), are less then
current book value. There was no such provision for 1994 or 1993.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 Income Taxes
 
  No provision for federal or state income taxes has been made in the
accompanying combined financial statements as the partners are individually
responsible for reporting income or loss based upon their respective share of
the Partnerships' income and expenses as reported for income tax purposes.
 
 Partnership Allocations of Net Loss
 
  According to the partnership agreements, net losses for Gateway are
allocated 99% and 1% to general and limited partnership interests,
respectively. Net losses for Landmark are allocated 95% and 5% to general and
limited partnership interests, respectively.
 
 Net Loss Per Unit
 
  The Partnerships do not report net loss per unit as the partners' interests
are not represented by units.
 
 Fiscal Year
 
  The Partnerships' fiscal years end on December 31; however, the combined
financial statements include the Hotel's operations through the Friday closest
to December 31, in order to conform to the operator's fiscal year.

Notes payable to bank with monthly payments
 sufficient to fully amortize the unpaid principal
 balance over 360 months with interest at the
 lesser of the Eleventh District Average Cost of
 Funds Index plus 2 1/2% or 11% per annum adjusted
 monthly. At December 31, 1994, the effective
 interest rate was approximately equal to 6.9%.
 The monthly payment amount is adjusted annually.
 Interest is accrued on the amount by which the
 accrued interest on the entire unpaid balance of
 the loan exceeds the interest paid. Upon sale or

(5) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  In 1987, the Partnerships entered into management contracts with Marriott to
manage and operate Towers I and II. The initial terms of the contracts expire
in 2017 and automatically renew for three consecutive periods of ten years,
and give Marriott first right of refusal on any continued association with the
hotel subsequent to 2017. The agreements provide for annual compensation of 3
1/2% of gross revenue and 30% of available cash flow as defined. Management
fees paid to Marriott in 1994 and 1993 amounted to $2,940,000 and $2,891,000,
respectively.
 
  In addition, during the course of normal operations various supplies,
services and other operating expenses are purchased from or provided by
Marriott and its affiliates.
 
  Amounts included in due to affiliates of general partners at December 31,
1994 and 1993 are as follows:

(6) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  The following disclosure includes estimated fair value information at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, as required by FASB Statement 107. Such
information, which pertains to the combined Partnerships' financial
instruments, is based on the requirements set forth in that statement and does
not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value of the Partnerships.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
  The following methods and assumptions were used by the Partnerships in
estimating such values:
 
  . The fair values of the Partnerships' long-term debt payable to third
    party, long-term debt payable to a general partner and an affiliate of
    the general partners, accrued interest, and amounts due to affiliates of
    general partners were determined based on the timing of future cash
    flows, market interest rates, the relationship of the parties and the
    nature of the financial instruments.
 
    The estimated fair values of the combined Partnerships' long-term debt
    payable to third party, long-term debt payable to a general partner and an
    affiliate of the general partners, accrued interest and amounts due to
    affiliates of general partners at December 31, 1994 and 1993 are as

 (b) Litigation
 
  In December 1992, the Partnerships filed a complaint against Marriott and
other defendants alleging, among other things, breach of contract and breach
of covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The defendants have filed a cross-
complaint for damages alleging breach of contract, defamation, and other
charges. Based in part on the

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONCLUDED)
advice of outside counsel, management does not believe that the cross-
complaint will have a material impact on the Partnerships' combined financial
condition or results of operations. Accordingly, no provision for any
liability has been made in the accompanying combined financial statements.
 
  The Partnerships are involved in various other legal proceedings which are
routine litigation incident to their business. In the opinion of management of
the Partnerships, none of the other pending litigation will have a material
adverse effect upon the Partnerships' combined financial position or results
of operations.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Owners of the San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk:
   
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the San Antonio Marriott
Riverwalk, as defined in Note 1, as of December 30, 1994, and the related
statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 30, 1994.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the
Parent, as defined in Note 1. 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the San Antonio Marriott
Riverwalk (as defined in Note 1) as of December 30, 1994, and its operations
and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1.
 
 Basis of Presentation
 
  On June 16, 1995 ("Sale Date"), HMH Properties, Inc., a wholly-owned
indirect subsidiary of Host Marriott Corporation, acquired the San Antonio
Marriott Riverwalk (the "Hotel"), located in San Antonio, Texas, from MRI
Business Property Fund Ltd., II (the "Parent"), a California limited
partnership, for approximately $50 million. The Hotel was part of a portfolio
of properties owned by the Parent. The Hotel, with approximately 500 rooms, is
operated by Marriott International, Inc. as a part of the Marriott Hotels,
Resorts and Suites full-service hotel system.
 
  The Hotel's purchase price at the Sale Date was in excess of its carrying
value. No adjustments related to the resultant sale are reflected in the
accompanying statements.
   
  These financial statements present the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows related to the business of the San Antonio Marriott
Riverwalk which is a lesser component of the Parent for all periods presented.
The Parent's historical basis in assets and liabilities of the Hotel have been
carried over. Changes in Net Advances from Parent represent the operating
results of the Hotel adjusted for net cash transferred between the Parent and
the Hotel.     
 
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Basis of Accounting
 
  The Hotel's records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting and
its fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest to December 31.
 
 Revenues
 
  Revenue represents house profit, which is the Hotel's operating results less
property-level expenses, excluding depreciation, management fees, real and
personal property taxes, ground and equipment rent, insurance, and certain
other costs which are classified as operating costs and expenses (see Note 3).
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Replacements and improvements
are capitalized as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 30 years for
buildings and 5 to 6 years for furniture and equipment.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
   
  The Hotel considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 30,
1994, the Hotel's outstanding checks were in excess of then available cash
balances by $126,000 and have been classified as accounts payable and accrued
expenses in the accompanying balance sheet.     
 
 Deferred Financing Costs
 
  Deferred financing costs, which are included in other assets, amounted to
$194,000 at December 30, 1994. These costs are being amortized over the life
of the Refinanced Loan, as defined below.

 Income Taxes

accompanying financial statements since the Parent is a partnership and does
not pay income taxes but rather allocates its profits and losses to the
Parent's individual partners.

NOTE 6. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
 
  Marriott International, Inc. (the "Manager") operates the Hotel pursuant to
a long-term management agreement (the "Management Agreement") with an initial
term expiring in 2008. The management agreement provides for a base fee equal
to 3% of Hotel sales and an incentive management fee of up to 20% of gross
operating profit, as defined. Pursuant to the terms of the Management
Agreement, the Manager is required to furnish the Hotel with certain services
such as 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 ("Chain Services") and, are generally provided on a central or regional
basis to all hotels in the Manager's full-service hotel system. Costs and
expenses incurred in providing such services are allocated among all domestic
full-service hotels managed, owned and leased by the Manager and its
subsidiaries and, in accordance with these arrangements, the Hotel paid Chain
Services of $734,000 in 1994. In addition, the Hotel also participates in the
Manager's Honored Guest Awards Program. The cost of this program is charged to
all hotels in the Manager's full-service hotel system.
 
  The Management Agreement also provides for the establishment of a property
improvement fund for the Hotel to cover (a) the cost of certain non-routine
repairs and maintenance to the Hotel which are normally capitalized; and (b)
the cost of replacements and renewals to the Hotel's property and
improvements. Contributions to the property improvement fund are 5 1/2% of
Hotel sales and totaled $1,270,000 for 1994.
 
NOTE 7. LEASES
 
  The land under the Hotel is leased from a third party under a long-term
lease expiring December 31, 2033 (the "Land Lease"). Minimum annual rent is
$50,000 per year. In addition to minimum annual rent, percentage rent equal to
 .5% of gross revenues, as defined, is required to be paid. Rent expense
related to the Land Lease was $129,000 for 1994.

1. The accompanying financial statements of the San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk
   (the "Hotel") have been prepared without audit. Certain information and
   footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in
   accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.
   The Hotel believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the
   information presented not misleading. However, the financial statements
   should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and
   notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 30, 1994 included
   elsewhere in this Registration Statement.
 
   In the opinion of the management of the Hotel, the accompanying unaudited
   financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal
   recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of
   operations and cash flows for the twenty-four weeks ended June 16, 1995 and
   June 17, 1994. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal
   year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term
   variations.
 
2. House profit represents hotel operating results less property-level
   expenses excluding depreciation, management fees, real and personal
   property taxes, ground and equipment rent, insurance and certain other
   costs which are classified as operating costs and expenses.
 
   House profit generated by the Hotel for the twenty-four weeks ended June
   16, 1995 and June 17, 1994 consists of (in thousands):

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
TO THE OWNERS OF THE TEC ENTITIES (AS DEFINED IN NOTE 1):
   
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the TEC
Entities, as defined in Note 1, as of December 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993,
and the related combined statements of operations and cash flows for the years
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of the TEC Entities (as defined in Note 1). 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 an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined financial position of the TEC Entities
(as defined in Note 1) as of December 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, and the
combined results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  On November 3, 1995 ("Sale Date"), HMC Toronto EC, Inc., a wholly-owned
indirect subsidiary of Host Marriott Corporation, acquired all interests in
the Toronto Eaton Centre Marriott (the "Hotel"), located in Toronto, Canada
from 1028796 Ontario Limited, a subsidiary of the Bank of Nova Scotia, and
Marriott Corporation of Canada, Ltd., a subsidiary of Marriott International
Inc., for approximately $44 million Canadian. These interests included 100%
investments in T.E.C. Hotels, Ltd. ("TEC Hotels"), T.E.C. Operations Limited
("TEC Ops"), and a Canadian co-tenancy between 1028796 Ontario Limited and
Marriott Corporation of Canada Ltd. (the "Co-tenancy") (collectively, as the
"TEC Entities") and the assumption of the ground lease obligation discussed in
Note 8. Under the pre-acquisition organization structure, TEC Ops leased the
Hotel from the Co-tenancy, who in turn, leased the Hotel from TEC Hotels. For
purposes of the combined financial statements presented, these lease
agreements have been eliminated in consolidation. The Hotel, with 459 rooms,
was opened on September 16, 1991 and is operated by Marriott International,
Inc. as part of the Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites full-service hotel
system.
   
  These financial statements present the combined financial position, results
of operations and cash flows related to the business of the Toronto Eaton
Centre Marriott (including the Co-tenancy, TEC Hotels and TEC Ops) in Canadian
dollars which represents the functional currency of the Hotel.     
 
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Basis of Accounting
 
  The Hotel's records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting and
its fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest to December 31.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Property and equipment is recorded at its net realizable value. Replacements
and improvements are capitalized as incurred. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
generally 40 years for buildings and 5 to 6 years for furniture and equipment.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  The Hotel considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
 
 Deferred Financing Costs
 
  Deferred financing costs, net of amortization, and are included in other
assets, amounted to $1,040,424 at December 30, 1994. These costs are being
amortized over the life of the debt. Accumulated amortization as of December
30, 1994 and December 31, 1993 was $1,720,701 and $1,199,701, respectively.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  No net provision for Federal or provincial income taxes has been made in the
accompanying combined financial statements because the individual entities
included in the combined statements utilized tax loss carry forwards to offset
taxable income in all years. Although the cumulative amount of taxable losses
is available to offset future taxable income, management has determined that
it is not likely that the benefits of such losses will be realized.

  During 1993, management concluded that the future estimated cash flows of
the hotel would not be adequate to recover the carrying value of the property
and the property was written down to its estimated market value.
 
NOTE 5. DEBT
 
 Revolving Credit Agreement
 
  On July 7, 1993, the Co-tenancy entered into a $15,000,000 Canadian
revolving credit facility (the "Facility") with the Bank of Nova Scotia (the
"Lender"), secured by the receivables of the Hotel and a guarantee by the co-
tenants. The Facility matures January 1, 1997 and bears an interest rate equal
to the Canadian prime rate, which was 6.9% for 1994.
 
 Construction Loan
 
  On July 7, 1993, the Co-tenancy borrowed $70,664,000 Canadian (the
"Construction Loan") from the Bank of Nova Scotia, secured by the Hotel. The
Construction Loan matures January 1, 1997 and bears an interest rate equal to
the Canadian prime rate.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  The Co-tenancy's operations could not support the interest payments due
under the Construction Loan in 1994, and a majority of the interest payments
due were transferred from the revolving credit facility. As a result, the
Facility was fully utilized and entered into default in 1995. On November 3,
1995, the Lender called the $15 million guarantee from the Co-tenants relating
to the revolver, the Co-tenancy paid down an additional $42 million with the
proceeds of the sale of the Hotel and all remaining debt balances were
forgiven by the Lender. An extraordinary gain of $29 million was recognized in
1995 as a result of this forgiveness.
 
NOTE 6. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
 
  Marriott International, Inc. (the "Manager") operates the Hotel pursuant to
a long-term management agreement (the "Management Agreement") with an initial
term expiring in 2016. The manager maintains the option to renew the
Management Agreement for five successive 10 year terms upon expiration. The
Management Agreement provides for a base fee equal to 3% of Hotel sales (as
defined), totalled $699,000 and $610,000 for 1994 and 1993, respectively. The
Management Agreement also provides for an incentive management fee equal to
20% of operating profit, as defined. There were no incentive management fees
in 1994 or 1993. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the
Manager is required to furnish the Hotel with certain services such as 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 ("Chain
Services") and, are generally provided on a central or regional basis to all
hotels in the Manager's full-service hotel system. Costs and expenses incurred
in providing such services are allocated among all domestic full-service
hotels managed, owned or leased by the Manager or its subsidiaries and, in
accordance with these arrangements, the Hotel paid Chain Services of $534,000
and $596,000 in 1994 and 1993, respectively. In addition, the Hotel also
participates in the Manager's Honored Guest Awards Program. The cost of this
program is charged to all hotels in the Manager's full-service hotel system.
 
  The Management Agreement also provides for the establishment of a property
improvement fund for the Hotel to cover (a) the cost of certain non-routine
repairs and maintenance to the Hotel which are normally capitalized; and (b)
the cost of replacements and renewals to the Hotel's property and
improvements. Contributions to the property improvement fund were 3% and 2% of
Hotel sales in 1994 and 1993, respectively.

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1.
 
  The accompanying combined financial statements of T.E.C. Hotels, Ltd.,
T.E.C. Operations, Ltd. and a Canadian co-tenancy between 1028796 Ontario
Limited and Marriott Corporation of Canada, Ltd. (collectively, the "TEC
Entities") have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The Hotel
believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading. However, the combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the
two fiscal years ended December 30, 1994, specifically with respect to the
sale of the hotel assets and forgiveness of debt in November 1995.
 
  In the opinion of the TEC Entities, the accompanying unaudited combined
financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the combined results of
operations and cash flows of the TEC Entities for the period ended October 30,
1995 and 1994. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year
performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
 
  Article Eleven and Article Sixteen of the Company's Certificate and Section
7.7 of the Bylaws limit the personal liability of directors to the Company or
its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty. These
provisions of the Company Certificate and Bylaws are collectively referred to
herein as the "Director Liability and Indemnification Provisions." The Company
Certificate and the Bylaws are included as exhibits to the Registration
Statement on Form S-1 of which this Prospectus is a part.
 
  Set forth below is a description of the Director Liability and
Indemnification Provisions. Such description is intended as a summary only and
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company Certificate and the
Bylaws.
 
  Elimination of Liability in Certain Circumstances. Article Sixteen of the
Company Certificate protects directors against monetary damages for breaches
of their fiduciary duty of care, except as set forth below. Under the Delaware
General Corporation Law, absent such limitation of liability provisions as are
provided in Article Sixteen, directors could generally be held liable for
gross negligence for decisions made in the performance of their duty of care
but not for simple negligence. Article Sixteen eliminates liability of
directors for negligence in the performance of their duties, including gross
negligence. In a context not involving a decision by the directors (i.e., a
suit alleging loss to the Company due to the directors' inattention to a
particular matter) a simple negligence standard might apply. Directors remain
liable for breaches of their duty of loyalty to the Company and its
shareholders, as well as acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law and transactions from
which a director derives improper personal benefit. Article Sixteen does not
eliminate director liability under Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, which makes directors personally liable for unlawful
dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions and expressly sets
forth a negligence standard with respect to such liability.
 
  While the Director Liability and Indemnification Provisions provide
directors with protection from awards of monetary damages for breaches of the
duty of care, they do not eliminate the directors' duty of care. Accordingly,
these provisions will have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies
such as an injunction or rescission based upon a director's breach of the duty
of care. The provisions of Article Sixteen, which eliminates liability as
described above, will apply to officers of the Company only if they are
directors of the Company and are acting in their capacity as directors, and
will not apply to officers of the Company who are not directors. The
elimination of liability of directors for monetary damages in the
circumstances described above may deter persons from bringing third-party or
derivative actions against directors to the extent such actions seek monetary
damages.
 
                                     II-1
<PAGE>
 
  Indemnification and Insurance. Under Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified
actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation--a
"derivative action") if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard of
care is applicable in the case of the derivative actions, except that
indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred
in connection with defense or settlement of such an action, and the Delaware
General Corporation Law requires court approval before there can be any
indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable
to the corporation.
 
  Section 7.7 of the Bylaws provides that the Company shall indemnify any
person to whom, and to the extent, indemnification may be granted pursuant to
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
  Article Eleven of the Company Certificate provides that a person who was or
is made a party to, or is involved in, any action, suit or proceeding by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Company will be indemnified by the Company against all expenses and
liabilities, including counsel fees, reasonably incurred by or imposed upon
him, except in such cases where the director, officer or employee is adjudged
guilty of willful misconduct or malfeasance in the performance of his duties.
Article Eleven also provides that the right of indemnification shall be in
addition to and not exclusive of all other rights to which such director,
officer or employee may be entitled.

included:
 
     Schedule I   --Condensed financial information of
     Schedule III registrant                            S-2 to S-6
                  --Real estate and accumulated depreciation   S-7

ITEM 17: UNDERTAKINGS
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 14
above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of such registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
 
  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
    (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Act, the
  information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
  registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
  of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
  497(h) under the Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
  statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
    (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each
  post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
  to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
  therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
  to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ON SCHEDULES
 
TO HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION
 
  We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the consolidated financial statements of Host Marriott Corporation and
subsidiaries (formerly Marriott Corporation) included in this registration
statement and have issued our report thereon dated February 26, 1996. Our
audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules appearing on
pages S-2 through S-8 are the responsibility of the Company's management and
are presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and are not part of the basic consolidated financial
statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in
our opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data required
to be set forth therein in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole.

                           HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION
 
                 CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT
 
                   NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
A) The accompanying condensed financial information of Host Marriott
   Corporation (the "Parent Company") present the financial position, results
   of operations and cash flows of the Parent Company with the investment in,
   and operations of, consolidated subsidiaries with restricted net assets on
   the equity method of accounting.
 
  In May 1995, HMH Properties, Inc. ("Properties"), an indirect, wholly-owned
  subsidiary of the Parent Company, issued $600 million of 9.5% senior notes
  at par value with a final maturity of May 2005 (the "Properties Notes").
  The Properties Notes are secured by a pledge of the stock of certain of
  their respective subsidiaries and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by
  all of Properties' subsidiaries. The indenture governing the Properties
  Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of
  Properties and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and issue
  preferred stock, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase
  capital stock or subordinates indebtedness, create lines, enter into
  certain transactions with affiliates, sell certain assets, issue or sell
  stock of Properties subsidiaries and enter into certain mergers and
  consolidations. The net assets of Properties at December 29, 1995 were
  approximately $380 million, substantially all of which were restricted.
 
  In December 1995, HMC Acquisition Properties, Inc. ("Acquisitions"), an
  indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, issued $350
  million of 9% senior notes (the "Acquisition Notes") at par value with a
  final maturity of December 2007. The Acquisition Notes are guaranteed by
  Acquisitions' subsidiary. The indenture governing the Acquisition Notes
  contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of
  Acquisitions and subsidiary to incur additional indebtedness and issue
  preferred stock, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase
  capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, create liens, enter into
  certain transactions with affiliates, sell certain assets, issue or sell
  stock of Acquisitions' subsidiary and enter into certain mergers and
  consolidations. The net assets of Acquisitions at December 29, 1995 were
  approximately $225 million, substantially all of which were restricted.
 
  On October 8, 1993 (the "Marriott International Distribution Date"), the
  Parent Company distributed, through a special tax-free dividend (the
  "Marriott International Distribution") to holders of its common stock (on a
  share-for-share basis) all outstanding shares of common stock of an
  existing wholly-owned subsidiary, Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott
  International"). In connection with the Marriott International
  Distribution, the Parent Company completed an exchange offer ("Exchange
  Offer") pursuant to which holders of senior notes in an aggregate principal
  amount of approximately $1.2 billion ("Old Notes") exchanged such Old Notes
  for a combination of (i) cash, (ii) common stock and (iii) new senior notes
  ("Hospitality Notes") issued by Host Marriott Hospitality, Inc.
  ("Hospitality"), a wholly owned subsidiary of HMH Holdings, Inc.
  ("Holdings"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Company. The
  Hospitality Notes were redeemed in the second quarter of 1995 partially
  with the net proceeds from the Properties Notes. The indenture governing
  the Hospitality Notes contained covenants that, among other things, limited
  the ability of Hospitality and its subsidiaries to incur additional
  indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions, create liens,
  enter into certain transactions with affiliates, sell certain assets and
  limit the activities of Holdings. Substantially all of Hospitality's net
  assets were restricted. Holdings' primary asset was the capital stock of
  Hospitality and was the borrower of a $630 million line of credit with
  Marriott International which was terminated during 1995. During 1995,
  Holdings was liquidated and merged upstream into Host Marriott.

                 CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT
 
             NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION--(CONTINUED)
 
  Properties, Acquisitions and Holdings are restricted subsidiaries of the
  Parent Company (the "Restricted Subsidiaries") and are accounted for under
  the equity method of accounting on the accompanying condensed financial
  information of the Parent Company.
 
B) Under the terms of the Exchange Offer, the Parent Company secured the Old
   Series I Notes with a principal balance of $87 million equally and ratably
   with the Hospitality Notes issued in the Exchange Offer. The Old Series I
   Notes were repaid upon maturity in May 1995. Investment in and advances to
   restricted subsidiaries include $87 million at December 30, 1994, which
   were pushed down to Hospitality prior to its repayment.
 
  In fiscal year 1993, for the period from the beginning of the year through
  October 8, 1993, Hospitality's financial statements reflect the pushed-down
  effects of 100% of that portion of the Old Notes that would have been
  replaced with the Hospitality Notes had the Company received tenders for
  100% of the aggregate amount of Old Notes that were subject to the Exchange
  Offer.
 
  Interest expense related to the pushed-down debt discussed above of $4
  million in 1995, $8 million in 1994 and $63 million in 1993 is included in
  interest expense in the accompanying condensed statements of income.
   
C) In 1995, Properties paid $36 million of cash dividends to the Parent
   Company as permitted under its indenture agreement. There were no cash
   dividends paid to the Parent Company in 1994 and 1993.     
 
D) Aggregate debt maturities at December 29, 1995, excluding capital lease
   obligations, are (in millions):

   Restricted Subsidiaries, including Hospitality, after elimination of
   interest expense (see Note B) and before income taxes. The Restricted
   Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated income tax returns of Host
   Marriott Corporation.

   statements, the Company completed a special dividend to shareholders on
