STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS WORLDWIDE, INC.
PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
DECEMBER 31, 1997
(UNAUDITED)
The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet is
presented as if (i) the merger of Chess Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Sub"), a
newly formed Nevada corporation and a subsidiary of Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide, Inc. (the "Corporation"), with and into ITT Corporation ("ITT") and
(ii) the acquisition by the Corporation and Starwood Hotels & Resorts (the
"Trust" and, together with the Corporation, "Starwood Hotels" or the "Company")
and certain of their affiliates of Westin Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.
("Westin Worldwide"), W&S Lauderdale Corp. ("Lauderdale"), W&S Seattle Corp.
("Seattle"), Westin St. John Hotel Company, Inc. ("St. John"), W&S Denver Corp.
("Denver") and W&S Atlanta Corp. ("Atlanta" and, together with Westin Worldwide,
Lauderdale, Seattle, St. John and Denver, "Westin") had occurred as of December
31, 1997.
Acquisition of ITT
On February 23, 1998, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and
Plan of Merger dated as of November 12, 1997 (the "ITT Merger Agreement") among
the Corporation, Merger Sub, the Trust and ITT, the Company acquired ITT.
Pursuant to the terms of the ITT Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged
with and into ITT (the "ITT Merger"), whereupon the separate corporate existence
of Merger Sub ceased and ITT continued as the surviving corporation. As a result
of the ITT Merger, ITT was owned jointly by the Trust and the Corporation.
Immediately after the effective time of the ITT Merger, the Corporation
purchased all of the common stock, no par value, of ITT ("ITT Common Stock")
owned by the Trust for a combination of cash and notes. After such purchase, ITT
became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
Under the terms of the ITT Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of ITT
Common Stock, together with the associated right to purchase shares of Series A
Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of ITT (the "Rights" and, together with
the ITT Common Stock, "ITT Shares"), other than those that were converted into
cash pursuant to a cash election by the holder (and other than ITT Shares owned
directly or indirectly by ITT or Starwood Hotels, which shares were canceled),
was converted into 1.543 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of
the Corporation (the "Corporation Shares") and 1.543 shares of beneficial
interest, par value $.01 per share, of the Trust (the "Trust Shares" and, when
paired with the Corporation Shares, the "Paired Shares"). Pursuant to cash
election procedures, approximately 35,196,000 ITT Shares, representing
approximately 30% of the outstanding ITT Shares, were converted into $85 in cash
per share. In addition, each ITT Share was converted into additional cash
consideration in the amount of $.37493151, which amount represents the interest
that would have accrued (without compounding) on $85 at an annual rate of 7%
during the period from and including January 31, 1998 to but excluding the date
of the closing of the ITT Merger (February 23, 1998). The aggregate value of the
ITT acquisition in cash, Paired Shares and assumed debt was approximately $14.6
billion.
On February 23, 1998, the Company obtained two additional credit facilities
($5.6 billion in total) with Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., Bankers Trust Company
and The Chase Manhattan Bank to fund the cash portion of the ITT Merger
consideration, to refinance a portion of the Company's existing indebtedness
(including indebtedness outstanding under the $2.2 Billion Facility (as defined
below) and to provide funds for general corporate purposes. These facilities are
comprised of a $3.1 billion senior secured credit facility (the "$3.1 Billion
Facility") and a $2.5 billion, five-year increasing rates notes facility (the
"IRN Facility").
The $3.1 Billion Facility has three tranches: a $1.0 billion, one-year term
loan; a $1.0 billion, five-year term loan; and a $1.1 billion, five-year
revolving credit facility. The Corporation, the Trust and certain of their
respective direct and indirect subsidiaries may be designated as borrowers or
co-borrowers under all or a
F-3
<PAGE> 7
portion of the $3.1 Billion Facility. The interest rate for the $3.1 Billion
Facility is one-, two- or three-month LIBOR, at the Company's option, plus 187.5
basis points for the four months ending June 24, 1998, one-, two-or three-month
LIBOR plus 162.5 basis points for the two months ending August 24, 1998, and
thereafter is determined pursuant to a pricing "grid" with rates based on the
Company's leverage and/or senior unsecured debt rating. Quarterly amortization
of the five-year term loan begins in the third year, with total amortization of
10%, 20% and 70% of the principal amount over the third, fourth and fifth year,
respectively. Repayment of amounts borrowed under the $3.1 Billion Facility is
guaranteed by the Trust and the Corporation and substantially all of their
respective significant subsidiaries (including the Partnerships (as defined
below)) other than gaming subsidiaries, and is secured by a pledge of all the
capital stock, partnership interests and other equity interests of the guarantor
subsidiaries.
Acquisition of Westin
On January 2, 1998, pursuant to a Transaction Agreement dated as of
September 8, 1997 (the "Westin Transaction Agreement"), among WHWE L.L.C.
("WHWE"), Woodstar Investor Partnership ("Woodstar"), Normura Asset Capital
Corporation ("Nomura"), Juergen Bartels (Mr. Bartels, and together with WHWE,
Woodstar and Nomura, the "Members"), Westin Worldwide, Lauderdale, Seattle, St.
John, Denver, Atlanta, W&S Hotel L.L.C. ("W&S LLC" and, together with Westin,
the "Westin Companies"), the Trust, SLT Realty Limited Partnership (the "Realty
Partnership"), the Corporation and SLC Operating Limited Partnership (the
"Operating Partnership" and, together with the Realty Partnership, the
"Partnerships"), the Company acquired Westin.
Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement.
(i) Westin Worldwide merged into the Trust (the "Westin Merger"). In
connection with the Westin Merger, all of the issued and outstanding shares
of capital stock of Westin Worldwide (other than shares held by Westin
Worldwide and its subsidiaries or by the Company) were converted into an
aggregate of 6,285,783 Class A Exchangeable Preferred Shares, par value
$.01 per share (the "Class A EPS"), of the Trust and 5,294,783 Class B
Exchangeable Preferred Shares, liquidation value $38.50 per share (the
"Class B EPS" and, together with the Class A EPS, the "EPS"), of the Trust
and cash in the amount of $177.9 million;
(ii) The stockholders of Lauderdale, Seattle and Denver contributed
all of the outstanding shares of such companies to the Realty Partnership.
In exchange for such contribution and after giving effect to the deemed
exchange of certain units, the Realty Partnership issued to such
stockholders an aggregate of 470,309 limited partnership units of the
Realty Partnership and the Trust issued to such stockholders an aggregate
of 127,534 shares of Class B EPS. In addition, in connection with the
foregoing share contribution, the Realty Partnership assumed, repaid or
refinanced the indebtedness of Lauderdale, Seattle and Denver and assumed
$84.2 million of indebtedness incurred by the Members prior to such
contributions; and
(iii) The stockholders of Atlanta and St. John contributed all of the
outstanding shares of such companies to the Operating Partnership. In
exchange for such contribution and after giving effect to the deemed
exchange of certain units, the Operating Partnership issued to such
stockholders an aggregate of 312,741 limited partnership units of the
Operating Partnership and the Trust issued to such stockholders an
aggregate of 80,415 shares of Class B EPS. In addition, in connection with
the foregoing share contributions, the Operating Partnership assumed,
repaid or refinanced indebtedness of Atlanta and St. John and assumed $3.4
million of indebtedness incurred by the Members prior to such
contributions.
The aggregate principal amount of debt assumed by the Company pursuant to
the Westin Transaction Agreement was approximately $1.0 billion.
The shares of Class A EPS, the shares of Class B EPS and the limited
partnership interests issued in connection with the Westin Merger and the
contribution of Seattle, Lauderdale, Denver, St. John and Atlanta to the
Partnerships are directly or indirectly exchangeable on a one-to-one basis
(subject to certain adjustments) for Paired Shares (subject to the right of the
Company to elect to pay cash in lieu of issuing
F-4
<PAGE> 8
such shares). The limited partnership interests also are exchangeable on a
one-to-one basis for shares of Class B EPS. The shares of Class B EPS have a
liquidation preference of $38.50 per share and provide the holders with the
right, from and after the fifth anniversary of the closing date of the Westin
acquisition, to require the Trust to redeem such shares at a price of $38.50.
On January 2, 1998, the Company obtained a $2.265 billion credit facility
(the "$2.2 Billion Facility") from a group of lenders led by Bankers Trust
Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank to fund the cash portion of the purchase of
Westin for approximately $178 million and to repay an aggregate of approximately
$1.0 billion of outstanding debt of Westin and of the Company under a $1.2
billion facility. The $2.2 Billion Facility was refinanced on February 23, 1998
with proceeds from the $3.1 Billion Facility and the IRN Facility.
The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet should be read
in conjunction with the combined consolidated historical financial statements of
Starwood Hotels and the Notes thereto included in the Starwood Hotels Joint
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the
historical financial statements of ITT and Westin and the Notes thereto included
in this Joint Current Report on Form 8-K. In management's opinion, all pro forma
adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the acquisition of ITT and
Westin have been made.
The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet is not
necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position of the Company
would have been as of December 31, 1997, nor does it purport to represent the
future financial position of the Company.

STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS WORLDWIDE, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED
PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1997
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Trust and the Corporation have unilateral control of the Realty
Partnership and the Operating Partnership respectively, and, therefore, the
historical financial statements of the Realty Partnership and the Operating
Partnership are consolidated with those of the Trust and the Corporation,
respectively. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the
"Trust" and the "Corporation" include the Trust and the Corporation and those
entities respectively owned or controlled by the Trust or the Corporation,
including the Realty Partnership and the Operating Partnership, respectively.
NOTE 2. ITT ACQUISITION
On February 23, 1998, pursuant to the ITT Merger Agreement, the Company
acquired ITT.
Pursuant to the terms of the ITT Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged
with and into ITT, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub
ceased and ITT continued as the surviving corporation. As a result of the ITT
Merger, ITT was owned jointly by the Trust and the Corporation. Immediately
after the effective time of the ITT Merger, the Corporation purchased all of the
ITT Common Stock owned by the Trust for a combination of cash and notes. After
such purchase, ITT became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
Under the terms of the ITT Merger Agreement, each outstanding ITT Share,
other than those that were converted into cash pursuant to a cash election by
the holder (and other than ITT Shares owned directly or indirectly by ITT or
Starwood Hotels, which shares were canceled), was converted into 1.543 Paired
Shares. Pursuant to cash election procedures, approximately 35,196,000 ITT
Shares, representing approximately 30% of the outstanding ITT Shares, were
converted into $85 in cash per share. In addition, each ITT Share was converted
into additional cash consideration in the amount of $.37493151, which amount
represents the interest that would have accrued (without compounding) on $85 at
an annual rate of 7% during the period from and including January 31, 1998 to
but excluding the date of the closing of the ITT Merger (February 23, 1998). The
aggregate value of the ITT acquisition in cash, Paired Shares and assumed debt
was approximately $14.6 billion.
Accounting Treatment
Starwood Hotels will account for the ITT Merger as a reverse purchase in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16. Purchase accounting
for a combination is similar to the accounting treatment used in the acquisition
of any asset group. Although the Trust and the Corporation issued Paired Shares
to ITT stockholders and survived as reporting companies following the ITT
Merger, the Trust and the Corporation are considered the acquired companies for
accounting purposes because the ITT stockholders represented the majority
shareholders of Starwood Hotels after the ITT Merger was consummated. The fair
market value of the pro forma Paired Shares and Partnership units held by the
Starwood Hotels shareholders and the Partnerships' unit holders, respectively
(using the stock price of $54.31 based on the average of the high and low prices
per Paired Share of Starwood Hotels as reported on the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE") on November 12, 1997), is used as the valuation basis for the
combination. The assets and liabilities of Starwood Hotels are revalued to their
respective fair market values at the combination date. The pro forma financial
statements of Starwood Hotels reflect the combined operations from the date of
the combination. Certain reclassifications have been made to the pro forma
Starwood Hotels balance sheet to conform to the presentation of the ITT balance
sheet.

<PAGE> 11
NOTE 3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
(A) Represents ITT's pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 1997
reflecting the sale of ITT's 50% ownership interest in WBIS+ and the
disposition of ITT World Directories ("WD") (see page F-14 through F-16).
(B) Represents Starwood Hotels pro forma combined consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 1997, as adjusted for the acquisition of Westin
(see pages F-17 through F-23).
(C) Represents the purchase consideration in excess of the fair market
value of the combined pro forma net assets of Starwood Hotels. The Merger
will be accounted for as a reverse purchase (see note 2 above). As a
result, the purchase consideration is based upon the fair market value of
Starwood Hotels' pro forma Paired Shares outstanding (after giving effect
to the Westin acquisition and assuming the conversion of the Partnership's
units into Paired Shares and using the stock price of $54.31 based on the
average of the high and low prices per Paired Share of Starwood Hotels as
reported on the NYSE on November 12, 1997). Since the majority of Starwood
Hotels' pro forma assets were acquired within the last year, their cost
basis is deemed to approximate fair market value. The amount attributable
to goodwill will be analyzed during 1998 to determine whether any amounts
should be specifically allocated to properties or other assets. The
calculation of goodwill is as follows:
<TABLE>

Paired Shares and Partnership units outstanding prior to the

options.

approximate 6.6% pro forma minority interest of the Partnership units plus
the minority interests of certain joint ventures.

STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS AND
STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS WORLDWIDE, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED
PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF INCOME
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Trust and the Corporation have unilateral control of the Realty
Partnership and the Operating Partnership, respectively, and, therefore, the
historical financial statements of the Realty Partnership and the Operating
Partnership are consolidated with those of the Trust and the Corporation,
respectively. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the
"Trust" and the "Corporation" include the Trust and the Corporation and those
entities respectively owned or controlled by the Trust or the Corporation,
including the Realty Partnership and the Operating Partnership.
NOTE 2. ITT ACQUISITION
On February 23, 1998, pursuant to the ITT Merger Agreement, the Company
acquired ITT.
Pursuant to the terms of the ITT Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged
with and into ITT, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub
ceased and ITT continued as the surviving corporation. As a result of the ITT
Merger, ITT was owned jointly by the Trust and the Corporation. Immediately
after the effective time of the ITT Merger, the Corporation purchased all of the
ITT Common Stock owned by the Trust for a combination of cash and notes. After
such purchase, ITT became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
Under the terms of the ITT Merger Agreement, each outstanding ITT Share,
other than those that were converted into cash pursuant to a cash election by
the holder (and other than ITT Shares owned directly or indirectly by ITT or
Starwood Hotels, which shares were canceled), was converted into 1.543 Paired
Shares. Pursuant to cash election procedures, approximately 35,196,000 ITT
Shares, representing approximately 30% of the outstanding ITT Shares, were
converted into $85 in cash per share. In addition, each ITT Share was converted
into additional cash consideration in the amount of $.37493151, which amount
represents the interest that would have accrued (without compounding) on $85 at
an annual rate of 7% during the period from and including January 31, 1998 to
but excluding the date of the closing of the ITT Merger (February 23, 1998). The
aggregate value of the ITT acquisition in cash, Paired Shares and assumed debt
was approximately $14.6 billion.
Accounting Treatment
Starwood Lodging will account for the ITT Merger as a reverse purchase in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16. Purchase accounting
for a combination is similar to the accounting treatment used in the acquisition
of any asset group. Although the Trust and the Corporation issued Paired Shares
to ITT stockholders and survived as reporting companies following the ITT
Merger, the Trust and the Corporation are considered the acquired companies for
accounting purposes because the ITT stockholders represented the majority
shareholders of Starwood Hotels after the ITT Merger was consummated. The fair
market value of the pro forma Paired Shares and Partnership units held by the
Starwood Hotels shareholders and the Partnerships' unit holders, respectively
(using the stock price of $54.31 based on the average of the high and low prices
per Paired Share of Starwood Hotels as reported on the NYSE on November 12,
1997), is used as the valuation basis for the combination. The assets and
liabilities of Starwood Hotels are revalued to their respective fair market
values at the combination date. The pro forma financial statements of the
Starwood Hotels reflect the combined operations from date of combination.
Certain reclassifications have been made to Starwood Hotels' pro forma
statements of operations to conform to the presentation of the ITT statements of
income.

NOTE 3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
(A) Represents ITT's pro forma statements of income for the year ended
December 31, 1997 reflecting the sale of shares of Alcatel Alsthom owned by ITT,
the sale of ITT's 39.8% ownership interest in Madison Square Garden and the sale
of ITT's 50% ownership interest in WBIS+ (see pages F-14 through F-16).
(B) Represents Starwood Hotels' combined consolidated pro forma statements
of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997, as adjusted for the
acquisition of Westin (see pages F-17 through F-30).
(C) Represents the amortization expense related to the goodwill recorded as
a result of the purchase consideration exceeding the fair market of the combined
net assets of Starwood Hotels. (See note (C) on page F-8).
(D) Represents interest expense, using an average interest rate of 7.5%, on
the additional debt incurred to finance (i) the $2.991 billion representing the
cash portion of the purchase price of ITT Shares acquired and (ii) the $357
million representing the cash necessary to retire approximately 8.7 million ITT
stock options.
(E) Represents the tax effect of the additional interest expense described
in note (D) above and interest expense, using an average interest rate of 8.5%,
on $4.9 billion of collateralized notes, issued by the Corporation to acquire
the Trust's interest in ITT.
(F) Represents the adjustment to the minority interest to reflect the
weighted average pro forma minority interest of the Partnership units and the
minority interests of certain joint ventures.
(G) Represents the effect of the conversion of each outstanding ITT Share,
other than those converted into cash pursuant to a cash election by the holder
(and other than ITT Shares owned directly or indirectly by ITT or Starwood
Hotels, which shares were canceled) into 1.543 Paired Shares.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements may not be
indicative of the results that would have occurred if the transactions discussed
below had actually occurred on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in
the future. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes to such financial statements of ITT, which are included in
this Joint Current Report. Set forth below is a discussion of the adjustments
that are given effect in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
statements.
BALANCE SHEET
The accompanying unaudited consolidated pro forma balance sheet assumes
that the following adjustments occurred as of December 31, 1997:
(A) Pro forma effect is given to the sale of ITT's interest in WBIS+ at
its book value of $105 million and the disposition of WD for a total
consideration valued at $2.1 billion. On May 12, 1997, ITT and Dow
Jones & Company, Inc. reached a definitive agreement to sell WBIS+,
Channel 31 in New York City, to Paxson Communications Corporation
("Paxson") for a purchase price of $257.5 million, approximately $105
million of which represented ITT's interest. The sale of WBIS+ closed
on March 6, 1998. On December 18, 1997, the Corporation announced that
it had reached a binding agreement with VNU, a leading international
publishing and information company based in The Netherlands, for the
disposition of WD for a total consideration to the Corporation valued
at $2.1 billion. The disposition of WD occurred on February 19, 1998.
STATEMENTS OF INCOME
The accompanying unaudited consolidated pro forma statements of income
assume the following adjustments:
(A) Pro forma effect is given to the asset dispositions indicated in the
unaudited consolidated pro forma statements of income as if such
transactions had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods
presented. Those dispositions include the sale of ITT's interest in
WBIS+, the sale of ITT's 7.5 million share stake in Alcatel Alsthom
and the sale of ITT's 39.8% ownership interest in Madison Square
Garden. The sale of the Alcatel Alsthom shares generated proceeds of
approximately $830 million and a pre-tax gain of $183 million. The
sale of the ownership interest in Madison Square Garden generated
proceeds of $500 million and a pre-tax gain of $200 million.

of 127,534 shares of Class B EPS. In addition, in connection with the
foregoing share contribution, the Realty Partnership assumed, repaid or
refinanced the indebtedness of Lauderdale, Seattle and Denver and assumed
$84.2 million of indebtedness incurred by the Members prior to such
contributions; and
(iii) The stockholders of Atlanta and St. John contributed all of the
outstanding shares of such companies to the Operating Partnership. In
exchange for such contribution and after giving effect to the deemed
exchange of certain units, the Operating Partnership issued to such
stockholders an aggregate of 312,741 limited partnership units of the
Operating Partnership and the Trust issued to such stockholders an
aggregate of 80,415 shares of Class B EPS. In addition, in connection with

The aggregate principal amount of debt assumed by the Company pursuant to
the Westin Transaction Agreement was approximately $1.0 billion.
The pro forma adjustments allocate Westin's assets between the Trust and
the Corporation in accordance with the terms of the acquisition. The assets were
allocated based upon a valuation performed by an independent accounting firm. As
a result, all the properties owned by Westin (other than the Westin

Corporation borrowed approximately $294.2 million from the Trust to partially
finance the acquisition of assets allocable to the Corporation.
Finally, the consideration included the assumption of approximately $1.030
billion of debt and the cash payment of approximately $178.0 million. The cash
portion was drawn down under the Company's revolving line of credit. The Company
refinanced some of Westin's debt to obtain credit terms similar to the Company's
existing credit facilities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF ITT CORPORATION:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ITT
Corporation (a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flow and
stockholders equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1997, as set forth in the accompanying Index to Financial Statements and
Schedule. These financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the
responsibility of the Corporation'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 opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ITT
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As explained in the Notes to the Financial Statements, effective January 1,
1997, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for start-up costs.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the Index to
Financial Statements and Schedule is presented for purposes of complying with
the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and is not a part of the basic
financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

ITT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS ARE IN MILLIONS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ITT Corporation ("ITT" or "the Company") is one of the world's largest
hotel and gaming companies. Its principal lines of business are hotels and
gaming. The hotels segment is comprised of a worldwide hospitality network of
over 440 full-service hotels serving three markets: luxury, upscale and
mid-price. The Company's hotel operations are represented on every continent and
in nearly every major world market. The Company's gaming operations are located
in several key domestic jurisdictions. The Company also operates various
hotel/casino ventures outside the United States.
On December 19, 1995 (the "Distribution Date"), the former ITT Corporation
("Old ITT," which has been renamed ITT Industries, Inc.), distributed to its
shareholders of record at the close of business on such date all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of ITT, then a wholly owned subsidiary of Old
ITT (the "Distribution"). In such Distribution, holders of common stock of Old
ITT received one share of ITT common stock for every one share of ITT
Industries, Inc. ("ITT Industries") common stock held. In connection with such
Distribution, ITT, which was then named "ITT Destinations, Inc.", changed its
name to ITT Corporation.
These financial statements present the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of the Company as if it were a separate entity for all
periods presented. Old ITT's historical basis in the assets and liabilities of
the Company has been carried over and all majority-owned subsidiaries have been
consolidated. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
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.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition: Generally, revenues are recognized when the services
have been rendered. The following is a description of the composition of
revenues of the Company's business segments:
Hotels Operations: At December 31, 1997, the Company operated 162 hotels
under long-term management agreements. These agreements effectively convey to
the Company the right to use the hotel properties in exchange for payments to
the property owners which are based primarily on the hotels' profitability.
Accordingly, the Company includes the operating results of hotel properties
under long-term management agreements in its consolidated financial statements.
Revenues related to these hotel properties were $3.0 billion, $2.8 billion and
$2.8 billion for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and amounts provided for
payments to the property owners for the use of the hotel properties were $.7
billion, $.6 billion and $.5 billion for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Gaming Operations: Casino revenues represent the net win from gaming wins
and losses. Revenues exclude the retail value of rooms, food, beverage,
entertainment and other promotional allowances provided on a complimentary basis
to customers. The estimated retail value of these promotional allowances was
$157, $161 and $144 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The estimated cost of such promotional allowances was $100, $111
and $99 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and
has been included in Costs and Expenses in the accompanying statement of
Consolidated Income.

====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ======
</TABLE>
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
Inventories: Inventories, comprised principally of hotel and gaming
supplies, are generally valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market and potential losses from obsolete and slow-moving inventories are
provided for in the current period.
Plant, Property and Equipment: Plant, property and equipment, including
capitalized interest of $35 and $13 in 1997 and 1996, respectively, applicable
to major project expenditures, are recorded at cost. The Company normally claims
the maximum depreciation deduction allowable for tax purposes. In general, for
financial reporting purposes, depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis
over the useful economic lives of the assets involved as follows: Buildings and
improvements -- primarily 15 to 40 years, Machinery and equipment -- 2 to 10
years, and Other -- 5 to 40 years. Gains or losses on the sale or retirement of
assets are included in income.
Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company uses derivative financial
instruments from time to time, including foreign currency forward contracts
and/or swaps, as a means of hedging exposure to foreign currency and/or interest
rate risks. Forward exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps are accounted
for in accordance with SFAS No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation." The Company
is an end-user and does not utilize these instruments for speculative purposes.
The Company has strict policies regarding the financial stability and credit
standing of its major counterparties. Changes in the spot rate of derivative
instruments designated as hedges of foreign currency denominated assets have
been classified in the same manner as the classification of the changes in the
underlying assets.
Foreign Currency: Balance sheet accounts are translated at the exchange
rates in effect at each year end and income and expense accounts are translated
at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The national
currencies of foreign operations are generally the functional currencies. Gains
and losses from foreign currency transactions are reported currently in costs
and expenses and were insignificant for all periods presented.
Income Tax: Prior to the Distribution, the Company and its subsidiaries
were included in the consolidated U.S. Federal tax return of ITT Industries and
remitted to (received from) ITT Industries an income tax provision (benefit)
computed in accordance with a tax sharing arrangement. This arrangement
generally required that the Company determine its tax provision (benefit) as if
it were filing a separate U.S. Federal income tax return. However, the
arrangement allowed the Company to record benefits of certain
F-37
<PAGE> 41
ITT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
tax attributes, primarily foreign tax credits, utilizable on the ITT Industries
consolidated tax return, which may not have been available on a separate company
basis.
Goodwill: The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired is
amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Accumulated amortization was
$100, $72 and $33 at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company
continually reviews goodwill to assess recoverability from future operations
using undiscounted cash flows. Impairments would be recognized in operating
results if a permanent diminution in value is deemed to have occurred.
Earnings Per Share: In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share," which requires replacement of
primary and fully diluted earnings (loss) per share with basic and diluted
earnings (loss) per share. All periods presented herein have been restated to
comply with the requirements of this pronouncement.
Basic earnings per share were computed based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
share were computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period and the dilutive effect of stock options, one
million shares in 1996 and 1995. Due to the loss in 1997, the effect of stock
options is antidilutive and is therefore excluded from the diluted earnings per
share computation.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior years' financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company changed its method of accounting for
start-up costs on major hospitality and gaming projects to expense these costs
as incurred. Prior to 1997, the Company capitalized these costs and amortized
them over a three-year period. This change was made to increase the focus on
controlling costs associated with the start-up of new projects. The Company
restated 1997 first-quarter results to record a pretax charge of $17 ($11 after
taxes or $0.09 per share) as the cumulative effect of this accounting change.
This change also increased 1997 pretax loss by $33 ($21 after taxes or $0.18 per
share). On a pro forma basis, this change would have reduced 1996 pretax income
by $1 ($1 after taxes or $0.01 per share) and 1995 pretax income and after-tax
income would have been unchanged.
RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER SPECIAL CHARGES
Restructuring
During 1997, the Company recorded pretax charges totaling $260 to
restructure and rationalize operations at its World Headquarters and the
headquarters of its field operations. Of the total pretax charge, approximately
$196 represented severance and other related employee termination costs
associated with the elimination of nearly 370 positions worldwide. The balance
of the restructuring charge ($64 pretax) related primarily to asset write-offs,
lease commitments and termination penalties. The substantial portion of these
costs are expected to be paid during 1998.
The Company recorded a $51 pretax charge in the Hotels segment and a $6
pretax charge in the Gaming segment during 1995 to restructure and rationalize
their world headquarters operations and provide for the planned disposal of
non-core assets. Of the total pretax charge, approximately $20 represented
severance and other related employee termination costs. The balance of the
restructuring charge ($37 pretax) related primarily to asset write-offs, lease
commitments and termination penalties and reserve actions in connection with the
disposal of non-core assets and reduced facilities utilization. As of December
31, 1997, substantially all of these restructuring costs have been paid.
F-38
<PAGE> 42
ITT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Other Special Charges
On October 17, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors agreed to an offer by
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. and Starwood Hotels & Resorts
(collectively, "Starwood") to acquire the common stock of the Company for an
aggregate consideration of $82 per share. On November 6, 1997, the Board of
Directors of the Company approved the revised terms of an offer which increased
the aggregate consideration to $85 per share and would allow the holders of the
Company's common stock to elect between cash and paired shares of Starwood. On
February 12, 1998, the stockholders of the Company voted to accept the offer.
As a result of the aforementioned actions, the Company recorded the
following special charges in 1997: (1) conversion of the accounting for the
Company's stock option plan to variable accounting due to limited stock
appreciation rights subject to exercise and related charges for tax
reimbursements to employees of $431, and (2) other costs including legal fees,
investment banking fees and asset write-offs totaling $169. The employee related
costs and the restructuring charges are included as a component of operating
income in the accompanying statement of income, while the other costs are
included in miscellaneous income, net.
TRANSACTIONS WITH ITT INDUSTRIES
The Company included many of the corporate functions of ITT Industries and
provided ITT Industries and other affiliates certain centralized systems for
legal, accounting, tax, treasury and insurance services. The Company received
fees for such services which ranged between 0.5% and 1% of net sales of the
affiliate and totaled $96 in 1995. Service fee income has been recorded in costs
and expenses in the accompanying statement of Consolidated Income.
Interest expense was charged to the Company on the portion of its
Investments and Advances from ITT Industries which was deemed debt. Interest
expense was charged at 8% and totaled $161 in 1995.
The Company was one of several affiliates participating in the ITT Salaried
Retirement Plan as well as health care and life insurance programs for salaried
employees and retirees sponsored by ITT Industries through the time of the
Distribution (see "Employee Benefit Plans").
ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS
ITT completed various hotel acquisitions during 1996. These acquisitions
were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The aggregate
purchase price of $371, including assumed liabilities of $176, was approximately
equal to the fair value of the assets acquired. The results of operations of
these acquisitions have been included in Consolidated Income from their
respective dates of acquisition. ITT also made minority investments in certain
hotel properties during 1996 in the aggregate amount of $65. The pro forma
effects of these transactions on revenues, net income and earnings per share
were not material.
On July 1, 1996, ITT, in partnership with Dow Jones & Co., launched a new
television station, WBIS+. The partnership purchased the broadcasting license
from New York City for $207. This purchase was funded equally by the partners.
ITT's investment in this partnership is reported using the equity method of
accounting and the Company's share of WBIS+'s results of operations are included
in Consolidated Income from the date of acquisition. On May 12, 1997, the
partnership agreed to sell the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") license
of WBIS+ to Paxson Communications Corporation for approximately $258. This
agreement is subject to the approval of the FCC, which is expected to be
received in early 1998. This transaction is expected to be completed during
1998.
On January 30, 1995, ITT completed a cash tender offer for the outstanding
shares of Caesars World, Inc. ("Caesars") for approximately $1.76 billion
(including expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of approximately
$10). The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. Accordingly,
the purchase price was allocated to assets based on their estimated fair values.
The purchase price, including assumed
F-39
<PAGE> 43
ITT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
liabilities of $450, exceeded the fair value of assets acquired by approximately
$1.1 billion. Caesars results of operations are included in Consolidated Income
from the date of acquisition.
On March 10, 1995, ITT, in a joint venture with Rainbow Programming
Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of Cablevision Systems Corporation ("Cablevision"),
completed the acquisition of the businesses comprising Madison Square Garden
("MSG") for approximately $1 billion. The acquisition was funded by equity
contributions from the venture partners of approximately $720 and the remainder
was financed through bank debt. The Company's share of the results of MSG are
included in Consolidated Income from the date of acquisition.
On February 18, 1997, the Company received $169 as payment of the remaining
amount necessary to equalize the partnership interests of Cablevision and ITT in
MSG. On April 15, 1997, ITT entered into a Partnership Interest Transfer
Agreement with Cablevision. Pursuant to the Partnership Interest Transfer
Agreement, Cablevision paid ITT $500 in cash on June 17, 1997. ITT also has a
"put" option to require Cablevision or MSG to purchase half of ITT's continuing
interest in MSG for $75 on June 17, 1998 and the other half of this continuing
interest for an additional $75 on June 17, 1999 (or, if the first option is not
exercised the entire continuing interest for $150). In addition, ITT agreed to
contribute to MSG an ITT-owned aircraft which MSG has used for the New York
Knickerbockers and the New York Rangers. In consideration of the aircraft
contribution, Cablevision has agreed to add an additional $19 to the exercise
price of each of ITT's "put" options. The Partnership Interest Transfer
Agreement also includes a "call" option requiring ITT to sell its remaining
stake in MSG on June 17, 2000 at fair market value, but not below a minimum
price based on the "put" prices.
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents information as if the
Caesars and MSG acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 1995:

* The 1995 provision (benefit) for income taxes was computed in accordance with
tax sharing agreement between the Company and ITT Industries that generally
requires that such provision (benefit) be computed as if the Company were a
stand-alone entity. The primary exception to the stand-alone computation
relates to the utilization of foreign tax credits. The agreement allows for
the realization of such credits since they were utilized by ITT Industries in
the consolidated tax returns.
No provision was made for U.S. taxes payable on undistributed foreign
earnings amounting to approximately $173 since these amounts are permanently
reinvested. No provision was made for foreign withholding taxes payable on
undistributed foreign earnings amounting to approximately $377 since these
amounts are permanently reinvested.
Deferred income taxes represent the tax effect of the differences between
the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets
(liabilities) include the following:

interest rates on both U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar denominated indebtedness.
The estimated fair value of long-term debt at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was
$2,976 and $3,868, respectively, and was determined based on quoted market
prices and/or discounted cash flows using the Company's incremental borrowing

to secure indebtedness (including mortgage loans) amounted to $246 as of
December 31, 1997.
ITT's historical practice has been to incur indebtedness for its
consolidated group at the parent company level or at a limited number of
subsidiaries, rather than at the operating company level, and to centrally
manage various cash functions. ITT maintains lines of credit under which bank
loans and other short-term debt are drawn. On November 4, 1996, ITT renewed its
major revolving credit facilities ("Revolvers") with syndicate banks totaling
$3.0 billion (a five-year facility of $2.0 billion; and a 364-day facility of
$1.0 billion which expired in November 1997). In addition, smaller credit lines
are maintained by ITT's foreign subsidiaries. ITT had approximately $1.4 billion
of available borrowing capacity under the Revolver as of December 31, 1997.

EARLY RETIREMENT OF DEBT
During 1997, the Company announced the tender offer for $546 of debt
securities of a subsidiary company. The tender offer was financed through short
term bank facilities. The tender offer resulted in the Company paying a tender
premium of $42 after tax ($78 pretax) or $0.36 per share which has been recorded
as an extraordinary loss on the early retirement of debt.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 18, 1997, a binding agreement was reached to dispose ITT World
Directories to VNU, a leading international publishing and information company
based in The Netherlands, for $2.1 billion. The Company is also exploring its
options regarding the disposition of ITT Educational. Therefore, the businesses
comprising the information services segment of the Company (ITT World
Directories and ITT Educational) have been presented as discontinued operations.
The assets and liabilities of ITT World Directories and ITT Educational are
included in Net Liabilities of Discontinued Operations and Net Assets of
Discontinued Operations, respectively. Company interest expense and debt is
allocated to Discontinued Operations based upon the amount of debt to be repaid
with the proceeds from these sales. Summary financial information of the

eligible employees to contribute from 2% to 16%

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
of their pretax pay subject to certain limits, as defined. The Company
contributes an amount equal to 1% of an eligible employee's pay to the plan
regardless of each employee's individual contribution decision. Employees are
100% vested in this contribution at all times. In addition, the Company matches
50% of eligible employees contributions to the plan up to a maximum of 5% of
pretax pay. This matching contribution is 20% vested each year and fully vested
after five years of employment with the Company. Both the retirement and
matching contributions made by the Company are invested in the Company's common
stock. Contribution expense related to this plan was $10 in 1997 and $10 in
1996. Prior to the Distribution, the Company participated in ITT Industries'
Investment and Savings Plans. The contribution expenses related to these plans
which were charged to the Company were $9 in 1995.
Postretirement Health and Life -- The Company and its subsidiaries provide
health care and life insurance benefits for certain eligible retired employees.
The Company has prefunded a portion of the health care and life insurance
obligations through trust funds where such prefunding can be accomplished on a

The assumed rate of future increases in the per capita cost of health care
(the "health care trend rate") was 7.5% for 1997, decreasing gradually to 5.0%
in the year 2001 and remaining at that level thereafter. Increasing the table of
health care trend rates by 1% per year would have the effect of increasing the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $1 and the annual expense by
$0.1. To the extent that the actual experience differs from the inherent
assumptions, the effect will be amortized over the average future service of the
covered active employees.
LEASES AND RENTALS
As of December 31, 1997, minimum rental commitments under operating leases
were $37, $35, $33, $32 and $32 for 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002,
respectively. For the remaining years, such commitments amounted to $292,
aggregating total minimum lease payments of $461.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Rental expenses for operating leases were $39, $47 and $50 in 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively.
CAPITAL STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 50 million shares of preferred stock,
none of which was outstanding at December 31, 1997.
In connection with the Distribution, the Company issued one Series A
Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock Purchase Right (a "Right") for each
share of the Company's common stock outstanding. Additionally, Rights will be
issued in respect of common stock subsequently issued until the Rights
Distribution Date, as defined, and, in certain circumstances, with respect to
common stock issued after the Rights Distribution Date. In the event a person or
group has acquired, or has obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership
of more than 15% of the outstanding shares of common stock or certain specified
tender offers occur for more than 15% of the common stock, or in the event the
Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination or certain other
specified events occur, the Right entitles each holder, subject to certain
exceptions, to purchase the number of 1/1,000ths of a share of Series A
Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company equivalent to the number
of shares of the Company's common stock or common stock of the surviving
corporation or other specified entity, as applicable, which have a market value
of twice the specified Purchase Price at the relevant date. The Rights, which do
not have voting rights, will be redeemed by the Company at a price of $.01 per
Right in connection with the acquisition of the Company by Starwood.
STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
Concurrent with the Distribution, ITT adopted the 1995 ITT Corporation
Incentive Stock Plan (the "1995 Plan") for key employees. Awards may be made
under the 1995 Plan through the year 2005. The 1995 Plan provides for the
granting of nonqualified or incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights
payable in stock or cash, performance shares, restricted stock or any
combination of the foregoing.
In connection with the Distribution, ITT granted substitute stock options
to acquire 6,276,596 of ITT's common shares, all of which were outstanding at
December 31, 1995. These substitute options replaced 2,627,591 options which
were outstanding prior to the Distribution, and maintain the same economic
value, vesting, expiration dates and other restrictions, terms and conditions
which existed under the ITT Industries stock incentive plans.
The 1995 Plan limits awards to employees to no more than 1.5% of the issued
and outstanding shares (including treasury shares) on the last day of each year
plus any unused portions of such limit carried over from prior years.
Additionally, no more than 5,000,000 shares may be available for incentive stock
options and no more than 20% of the total may be available for awards of
restricted stock or performance shares under the 1995 Plan. No more than 10% of
the annual limit may be granted to any one person. The exercise price of each
stock option granted is equal to the closing price of ITT's common stock on the
date of grant. Generally, stock options have a maximum term of ten years and
vest ratably over a three year period from the date of grant. Options granted to
senior officers of ITT vest after nine years from the grant date or upon
attaining certain defined market price levels of ITT's common stock, whichever
occurs first.

* Included in the number of shares outstanding at 12/31/97 are 35,000 non
exercisable options, granted during 1997 at exercise prices of $63.75 and
$68.50, that will become exercisable in whole or in part upon achievement of
specified market prices for ITT's common stock or fully exercisable after the
passage of nine years from the date of grant, whichever occurs first.
Upon the occurrence of an acceleration event, as defined, all outstanding
stock options will become immediately exercisable for 60 days beginning on the
date of the event. Additionally, limited stock appreciation rights ("SARs") are
attached to each outstanding option and become exercisable, upon forfeit of the
option, for 60 days beginning with the day after an acceleration event. Such
SARs allow option holders to receive, when exercised, cash payments equal to the
spread between a formula market price and the applicable option price, less
withholding taxes.
ITT applied APB Opinion 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and
related interpretations; accordingly, compensation cost was not recognized for
grants of stock options at market price. In November 1997, the Board of
Directors approved the Starwood offer. Due to the election of the holder of each
SAR to receive either cash, stock or a combination, variable accounting required
an expense to be recognized for the difference between the option price and the
formula market price totaling $342.

ITT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Had compensation cost for grants been determined based on the fair value at
the grant dates consistent with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been
reduced by $20 ($0.18 per share) and $6 ($0.05 per share) in 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The fair value of each option grant used in the 1996 and 1995 pro
forma amounts were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for
grants in 1996 and 1995, respectively: dividend yield of zero for all years;
expected volatility of 33 percent for all years; risk free interest rates of 5.3
percent and 6.4 percent; and an expected life of 4 years for all options.
In addition to the 1995 Plan, ITT maintains a restricted stock plan for
non-employee directors called the 1996 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee
Directors (the "1996 Restricted Stock Plan"). ITT has reserved 120,000 common
shares for grants under the 1996 Restricted Stock Plan. Under this plan, grants
of restricted shares are made automatically on the date of each Annual Meeting
of Stockholders to each non-employee director elected at the meeting, or
continuing in office following the meeting. The amount of each award is equal to
(and in lieu of ) the annual retainer in effect for the calendar year within
which the award date falls, divided by the fair market value of ITT's common
stock. Grants of approximately 5,697 and 7,165 restricted shares, resulting in
$1 of expense for each grant, were made under this plan in 1997 and 1996, all of
which were outstanding on December 31, 1997. These shares vested in 1998 upon
the acceleration event.
ITT converted 127,401 substitute restricted common shares from the ITT
Industries employee stock incentive plans on the Distribution Date, all of which
were outstanding at December 31, 1995. During 1997 and 1996, 0 and 7,964 of
these restricted shares vested. Amortization expense recorded during 1997 and
1996 was $1 and $1 related to these employee restricted stock awards. The
remaining restricted shares, which were outstanding at December 31, 1997, vested
on February 12, 1998.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company has entered into four forward exchange contracts with major
financial institutions to hedge exchange rate exposure on the Company's foreign
currency denominated assets. The dollar equivalent of the contractual amounts of
these hedges at December 31, 1997 and 1996, were $68 and $300, respectively. The
contracts mature in 1998. The total unrealized gains (losses) on these contracts
at December 31, 1997 and 1996 were $4 and $(25), respectively and approximate
the fair value of these contracts. The fair value of forward exchange contracts
is the estimated amount the Company would pay to terminate the contracts at the
reporting date.
From time to time the Company uses derivatives to manage its exposure to
interest rate fluctuations on its variable rate debt in U.S. dollars and other
currencies. The Company currently has three interest rate swaps in place with an
aggregate notional amount of $94 and $95 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively in which the Company pays fixed rates and receives variable rates.
The estimated unrealized loss on these interest rate swaps was $2 and $8 at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The unrealized loss represents the
amount the Company would pay to terminate the swap agreements based on current
interest rates. In addition, the Company has two currency swaps in place with an
aggregate notional amount of $226 and no unrealized loss or gain.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal matters,
some of which include claims for substantial sums. Reserves have been
established when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. While
the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be determined, the Company
does not expect that the resolution of all legal matters will have a material
adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or
cash flow.

ITT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
The Company has guaranteed certain loans and commitments of various
ventures to which it is a party. These commitments, which in the aggregate were
approximately $91 at December 31, 1997, are not expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
For purposes of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between the
Company and ITT Industries after the Distribution and to provide for an orderly
transition, the Company and ITT Industries have entered into various agreements
including a Distribution Agreement, Employee Benefits Services and Liability
Agreement, Tax Allocation Agreement and Intellectual Property Transfer and
License Agreements. The Company may be liable to or due reimbursement from ITT
Industries relating to the resolution of certain pre-distribution matters under
these agreements.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 23, 1998 Starwood completed the acquisition of the Company.
Each outstanding share of common stock of the Company, together with the
associated Right, other than those that were converted into cash pursuant to a
cash election by the holder (and other than shares owned directly or indirectly
by ITT or Starwood, which shares were canceled), was converted into 1.543 paired
shares. Pursuant to cash election procedures, approximately 35,196,000 shares of
the Company's common stock, representing approximately 30% of the outstanding
shares, were converted into $85 in cash per share. In addition, each share of
the Company's common stock was converted into additional cash consideration in
the amount of $.37493151, which amount represents the interest that would have
accrued (without compounding) on $85 at an annual rate of 7% during the period
from and including January 31, 1998 to but excluding the date of the closing
(February 23, 1998). As of February 24, 1998, all outstanding securities of the
Company were de-listed from trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders of Westin
Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Westin Hotels &
Resorts Worldwide, Inc. and subsidiaries and certain affiliates (Westin
Combined) as of December 31, 1997, the consolidated balance sheet of W&S Hotel
L.L.C. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, and the related combined and
consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity
(deficit), members' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997
and 1996 and for the period from acquisition (May 12, 1995) through December 31,
1995. We have also audited the accompanying combined statements of operations,
changes in net assets and cash flows of the predecessor business (as defined in
Note 1) for the period from January 1, 1995 through May 12, 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined financial position of Westin Combined and
the consolidated financial position of W&S Hotel L.L.C. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the combined and consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
and for the period from acquisition (May 12, 1995) through December 31, 1995,
and the combined results of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows of
the predecessor business for the period from January 1, 1995 through May 12,
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

WESTIN COMBINED, W & S HOTEL L.L.C. CONSOLIDATED
AND PREDECESSOR BUSINESS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
W&S Hotel L.L.C. (the LLC) acquired the stock of Westin Hotel Company and
certain additional subsidiaries and affiliates on May 12, 1995 (the
acquisition). Prior to the acquisition, the LLC had no material operations. On
January 2, 1998, Westin Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (Worldwide), the parent
company of Westin Hotel Company, merged with Starwood Hotels & Resorts (the
Trust). The capital stock of all affiliate companies controlled by the LLC prior
to its termination were sold to the Trust and Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide, Inc. (the Corporation, and together with the Trust, Starwood), a
hotel management and operating company. In contemplation of these transfers, the
LLC distributed the shares of Worldwide and its affiliates to the LLC members
and terminated its existence prior to December 31, 1997. Accordingly, the 1997
financial statements presented reflect the combined results of Worldwide and its
affiliates previously consolidated by the LLC (collectively referred to herein
as Westin Combined). There are no material differences in the assets,
liabilities or operations of the LLC and Westin Combined. The 1995 consolidated
financial statements of the LLC include the results of operations of the
acquired enterprises since the acquisition. The combined financial statements of
the predecessor business include the results of operations of the acquired
enterprises prior to the purchase but exclude businesses and assets not
acquired. The LLC, Westin Combined, and the predecessor business are
collectively referred to in these notes as the Company.
2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Description of Business
The Company operates in the lodging industry under the name of Westin
Hotels & Resorts. It owns, manages, franchises and represents upscale hotels and
resorts in locations worldwide. All owned hotels and partnerships are located in
the United States and its territories. Operating revenues from hotel operations
consist of rooms, food and beverage and other operating department revenues
generated by owned hotels. Operating revenues from management services are
primarily for management, franchise and related services provided to non-owned
hotels.
The Company also provides workers' compensation, property, general and
automobile liability coverage to the owned and managed hotels through its wholly
owned subsidiary, Westel Insurance Company.
b. Members' Equity
The LLC was a limited liability company formed on November 21, 1994, under
the laws of Delaware and was terminated during 1997.
There were Class A members and a Class B member in the LLC. The Class A
members were Woodstar Investor Partnership, an affiliate of Starwood Capital
Group L.P.; WHWE L.L.C., an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co.; and a senior
executive of the Company. Nomura Asset Capital Corporation was the sole Class B
member. Members' liability was limited to their respective capital
contributions. Concurrence of the Class B member was required for certain
decisions.
Earnings and losses of the LLC were generally allocated to each member in
accordance with their respective percentage interests, but losses were allocated
first to members with positive equity balances. The percentage interests totaled
73% for Class A members and 27% for the Class B member. Generally, distributions
of net proceeds from operations and excess refinancing proceeds were made to the
Class A members to the extent of interest on their unreturned capital
contributions, and thereafter, to all members in proportion to their respective
percentage interests.

<PAGE> 66
WESTIN COMBINED, W & S HOTEL L.L.C. CONSOLIDATED
AND PREDECESSOR BUSINESS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
The original Class A members committed to contribute capital up to
$132,000,000 no later than May 12, 1998. As of December 31, 1996, these members
had contributed cash of $93,000,000 and notes of $2,640,000. In lieu of
receiving distributions, the Class A members reduced their capital commitment by
approximately $18,000,000 through December 31, 1996. The remaining capital
commitment and additional capital contributions were funded during 1997 in
connection with hotel acquisitions described in Note 3. Distributions totaling
$201,284,000 were made to the members during 1997.
c. Combination and Consolidation
The combined and consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and the acquired subsidiaries. The combined and consolidated
statements of operations also include the Company's share of net income from
partnerships. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated.
d. Accounting 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, the
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.
e. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid debt
instruments bearing floating interest rates and other short-term investments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
f. Marketable Securities
The Company's marketable securities are all available for sale. The
securities are reported at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on
securities available for sale are reported net of tax as a separate component of
equity until realized.
g. Guest and Trade Receivables
In the ordinary course of business, the Company extends credit to guests of
owned hotels, primarily business travelers. In addition, the Company extends
credit to managed and franchised hotels located principally in North America and
Asia for the payment of management and marketing fees and for reimbursement of
payroll and other expenses.
h. Inventories
Inventories include food, beverage and supplies and are valued at the lower
of cost (first-in, first-out) or replacement market.
i. Investments in Partnerships
The Company's investments in partnerships that are not majority-owned or
controlled are accounted for using the equity method.

WESTIN COMBINED, W & S HOTEL L.L.C. CONSOLIDATED
AND PREDECESSOR BUSINESS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
j. Property and Equipment
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are provided using
the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Buildings and leasehold
improvements..................... Shorter of 5-45 years or remaining lease term
Furniture, fixtures and
equipment........................ 2-12 years
Expendable supplies................ 2-4 years
</TABLE>
The Company uses an annual group method of depreciation. Under this method,
individual assets are not specifically identified for purposes of determining
retirements. Fully depreciated asset groups are written off the year after they
are fully depreciated. Proceeds from miscellaneous sales of depreciable property
and equipment are credited to accumulated depreciation.
Expendable supplies include linens, china, silverware and glassware. They
are depreciated to 50% of the cost of initial stock. Replacements are expensed
when purchased.
Maintenance and repairs, including the cost of minor replacements, are
charged to property maintenance expense accounts. The cost of additions and
betterments of property are capitalized to property and equipment accounts.
Interest incurred during the construction or renovation of hotels and
related facilities is capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives
of the assets. During 1997, $2,363,000 of interest was capitalized. There was no
interest capitalized in any of the prior periods presented.
k. Intangible and Other Assets
Intangible and other assets include management contracts, goodwill,
software, deferred loan costs, and restricted deposits. Management contracts
represent the allocation of the Company's acquisition cost based on the
estimated present value of income primarily from management agreements, less
accumulated amortization. The direct costs incurred to obtain a management or
franchise agreement are also capitalized. Goodwill represents the excess of the
Company's acquisition cost over the net fair value of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, less accumulated amortization. Deferred loan costs and
computer software are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Capitalized
cost for computer software includes both external and internal labor costs
directly attributable to the development of software. Restricted deposits result
primarily from capital expenditure reserves required under certain property
mortgage financing.
The costs incurred to acquire management contracts are amortized using the
straight-line method over the lives of the contracts. Goodwill is amortized
using the straight-line method. Deferred loan costs are amortized using the
straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method over the
contractual terms of the related indebtedness. Software costs are amortized
using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the
software, not to exceed seven years. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
WESTIN COMBINED AND
W&S HOTEL L.L.C. PREDECESSOR BUSINESS
------------------- --------------------
<S> <C> <C>
Management contracts...................... 5-15 years 25 years
Goodwill.................................. 40 years 40 years
Deferred loan costs....................... 2-7 years N/A
Software.................................. 2-7 years 7 years
</TABLE>
The estimated lives of the management contracts include the weighted
averages of the remaining contract periods as of the respective business
acquisition dates. The predecessor owner acquisition occurred in 1988.
F-64
<PAGE> 68
WESTIN COMBINED, W & S HOTEL L.L.C. CONSOLIDATED
AND PREDECESSOR BUSINESS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Management periodically assesses the carrying value of intangible assets to
determine whether any permanent impairment or changes in estimated useful lives
have occurred.
l. Long-Lived Assets
The recoverability of management contract costs, goodwill and hotel
investments are periodically evaluated to determine whether such costs will be
recovered from future operations. Evaluations of goodwill are based on estimated
undiscounted cash flow. Management contracts and hotel investments are
individually evaluated based on estimated undiscounted cash flow. If the
estimated undiscounted amounts are insufficient to recover the recorded assets,
then the estimated amounts are discounted to determine the revised carrying
value and a write-down for the difference is recorded.
m. Preopening Expenses
The Company defers preopening costs until the hotel opening date and
amortizes the total over one year. n. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into interest rate protection agreements to manage
well-defined interest rate risk and does not use them for trading or speculative
purposes. The Company's agreements are with major international financial
institutions that are expected to fully perform under the terms of the
agreements thereby reducing the credit risk from the transactions.
Fees paid for interest rate protection agreements are recorded ratably as
interest expense over the terms of the agreements and the related impact on the
Company's cash flows is included in cash flows from operating activities.
Gains or losses on interest rate protection agreements that the Company
considers hedges, including hedges of anticipated refinancing transactions, are
deferred. In order for gains or losses for anticipated refinancing transactions
to be deferred the Company must determine, by reviewing its ability and intent
to refinance, that it is probable that the anticipated refinancing will occur.
If the Company concludes that an interest rate protection agreement no longer
qualifies as a hedge, gains or losses would be recorded as other income or
expense at each reporting date based on the amount that would have been paid or
received to settle the agreement on the reporting date.
o. Income Taxes
The former members of the LLC were required to include their respective
share of profits and losses in their separate income tax returns. Income taxes
reflected in the financial statements relate to taxable corporations owned by
the LLC included in the combined and consolidated financial statements.
The operations of the predecessor business were included in the
consolidated tax returns of the predecessor owner and its affiliates. Income
taxes for the predecessor business have been computed assuming the Company was a
stand-alone entity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases, and to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.

AND PREDECESSOR BUSINESS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
p. Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements include foreign currency amounts attributed to
foreign subsidiaries and branches that have been translated into U.S. dollars
using year-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average annual
rates for revenues and expenses. Translation gains or losses arising from
fluctuations in the year-end exchange rates are recorded as equity adjustments
from foreign currency translations. Foreign exchange gains or losses recorded in
the statements of operations include actual foreign exchange transactions and
the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on assets or liabilities that are
denominated in currencies other than their own.
q. Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the
advertising takes place.
r. Equity Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its equity-based compensation following the fair
value accounting provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The predecessor
business did not have equity-based compensation arrangements.
s. Other, Net
Other, net reported on the statements of operations includes gains on
disposal of investments in partnership, gains on curtailment of benefit plans, a
litigation settlement charge and miscellaneous income and expense. For the year
ended December 31, 1997, other, net includes a gain of $20,969,000 for the sale
of a partnership interest.
t. Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the Company's prior period
financial statements to conform with the 1997 presentation.

3. ACQUISITIONS
On May 12, 1995, the LLC acquired all of the stock of Westin Hotel Company
and certain additional enterprises, which are collectively referred to as the
predecessor business. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. Accordingly, the total cost has been allocated to the
assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the fair values at the
date of acquisition. The purchase price in excess of the estimated fair value of
the net assets acquired was $154,079,000 and has been recorded as goodwill.
Valuation allowances for deferred tax assets resulting principally from net
operating losses and foreign tax credit carryforwards were recorded as part of
the acquisition. As those net operating losses or foreign tax credits are used,
goodwill has been reduced accordingly. A summary of the acquisition of the
predecessor business follows:

On March 4, 1997, the Company acquired a 573-room hotel located in
Indianapolis, Indiana for approximately $57,948,000, net of cash acquired. The
acquisition was funded with existing cash of $10,348,000 and $47,600,000 of
indebtedness secured by the hotel.
On May 15, 1997, the Company acquired a 285-room resort located on Great

$20,000,000 of indebtedness secured by the resort.
On June 4, 1997, the Company purchased mortgage notes secured by a 1,068
room hotel in Atlanta, Georgia for approximately $114,009,000, net of cash
acquired. The acquisition of the notes resulted in operating and ownership
control and was accounted for as a purchase of the hotel. The purchase was
funded with $90,000,000 of debt secured by the hotel, assumed capital leases of
$1,037,000 and $22,972,000 of cash primarily from LLC Class A member
contributions and the issuance of Subordinated Notes.
On June 24, 1997, the Company acquired a 420-room hotel in Denver, Colorado
for approximately $77,389,000, net of cash acquired. The purchase was funded
with $53,200,000 of debt secured by the hotel, assumed capital leases of $14,000
and $24,175,000 of cash primarily from Class A member contributions and the
issuance of Subordinated Notes.
The 1997 acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.

4. CASH MANAGEMENT
The Company invests cash in excess of operating needs in short-term
investments in which its funds are available upon request. Under the program,
participants' cash receipts are deposited in a centralized bank account. The
full amount of the funds in the centralized account is available for use by the
participants in their normal operations. Interest income or expense is allocated
to participants that are not wholly owned based upon their net funds deposited
or borrowed under the program. The interest rate is based upon the average yield
of investments in the centralized account.
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the payable to affiliates includes
$1,614,000 and $3,010,000, respectively, representing net cash transfers under

Hotel Partners for $50,518,000. This transaction generated a pre-tax gain of
approximately $20,969,000, and net proceeds after a required repayment of
long-term debt were approximately $44,000,000. The net proceeds from this
transaction have been utilized to fund a portion of the Company's hotel
acquisitions.
The Company has an approximate 49% ownership interest in the Westin O'Hare
Hotel Venture located at the O'Hare Airport in Chicago, Illinois, a 20%
ownership interest in the Galleria Hotel Venture located in Dallas, Texas, a 25%
ownership interest in Sixth & Virginia Properties (The Westin Office Building)
located in Seattle, Washington, an approximate 23% interest in LCWW Partners
(The Westin La Cantera currently under development in San Antonio, Texas) and an
approximate 16% interest in Savannah Harbor Resort Developers LLC (The Westin
Savannah Harbor Resort currently under development in Savannah, Georgia). The
Company has agreed to fund 50% of certain predevelopment costs of The Westin La
Cantera.
Additionally, the Company has an effective ownership interest of
approximately 8% in Westin Hotels Limited Partnership (WHLP), which owns The
Westin Michigan Avenue in Chicago and The Westin St. Francis in San Francisco,
but has reduced the investment basis and share of earnings to zero because of
priorities associated with other investor returns. At December 31, 1997, WHLP
had assets of $269,785,000 and equity of $65,190,000. At December 31, 1996, WHLP
had assets of $263,148,000 and equity of $68,381,000. WHLP had revenues of
$127,053,000, $110,950,000, $51,791,000 and $45,453,000 and net income (loss) of
$9,691,000, $6,978,000, $4,244,000 and ($2,531,000) for the year ended December
31, 1997, the year ended December 31, 1996, the period from May 12, 1995 through
December 31, 1995 and the period from January 1, 1995 through May 12, 1995,
respectively.
Investments include unamortized cost in excess of the Company's share of
the net assets of partnerships of $4,704,000 at December 31, 1997 and
$24,360,000 at December 31, 1996 ($19,700,000 was attributable to the investment
in Biltmore Hotel Partners). This amount is being amortized into income over the
lives of the underlying assets.
Partnership distributions totaled $4,405,000 in 1997; $25,378,000 in 1996
(including $22,000,000 from Biltmore Hotel Partners); $3,369,000 from May 12,

Substantially all property and equipment is pledged as security under the
long-term debt agreements at December 31, 1997.
In December 1997, the Company amended the May 1997 Senior Credit Facility
described below. The new facility totaled $630,000,000 and is comprised of a
revolving facility of $50,000,000, a Series A term loan of $412,000,000 and a
Series B term loan of $168,000,000. In addition to the replacement of the May
1997 Senior Credit Facility, proceeds from this facility prepaid the
Subordinated Notes and the remainder of the proceeds were distributed to the LLC
members. The Company is obligated by the Series A term loan to make scheduled
repayments through maturity. The revolving facility and the Series A term loan
mature in 2002; the Series B term loan matures in 1998.
This refinancing resulted in an early extinguishment of the Subordinated
Notes and notes under the May 1997 Senior Credit Facility described below.
Unamortized deferred loan costs associated with these notes were written-off as
an extraordinary after-tax charge totaling $3,517,000.
There are restrictive covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility, Series
A term loan and Series B term loan. These covenants include limitations on
indebtedness, capital expenditures, dividends and distributions; leverage, fixed
charge coverage, and interest coverage ratios; and net worth minimums.
In May 1997, the Company elected not to exercise its option to extend the
due date of the Senior Secured Notes and repaid the notes with the proceeds of a
$331,000,000 Senior Credit Facility. This facility was comprised of a revolving
facility of $50,152,000, and a term facility of $280,848,000.
At December 31, 1997 the Company had an interest rate protection agreement
which limits its exposure to interest rate increases for a notional amount of
$112,500,000 related to the Senior Credit Facility. This agreement, which
terminates in June 2000, provides for interest rate protection in the event that
floating

AND PREDECESSOR BUSINESS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
interest rates exceed certain levels. The Company's position in this agreement
was an insignificant amount at December 31, 1997.
The mortgage loans incurred in 1997 are secured by the acquired hotel
property and equipment. The loan agreements typically require the hotels to fund
reserves for taxes, insurance and debt service (current restricted cash) and for
capital replacement (noncurrent restricted cash).
The acquired resort located in the U.S. Virgin Islands has a total loan
facility of $29,500,000. The resort has borrowed $25,240,000 through December
31, 1997 and will borrow the remaining $4,260,000 in connection with its
renovation.
Annual maturities of long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 1997 were
as follows:
<TABLE>

(THOUSANDS)

Interest cost paid, net of interest capitalized, amounted to $52,025,000,
in 1997; $41,981,000 in 1996; $23,401,000 from May 12, 1995 through December 31,
1995; and $8,574,000 from January 1, 1995 through May 12, 1995.
During 1995, in connection with its borrowing under the Senior Secured
Notes, the Company entered into an interest rate protection agreement with the
lender, which was the sole Class B member of the LLC. On the basis of interest
rates as of December 31, 1996, the settlement amount due to the lender would
have been approximately $5,449,000 had the Company repaid the outstanding
principal of the Senior Secured Notes on December 31, 1996.
The Company accounted for the interest rate protection agreement as a hedge
against its anticipated future refinancing debt risk. Accordingly, the Company
deferred recognition of changes in the estimated settlement amount of the
agreement. In connection with the repayment of the Senior Secured Notes, the
Company settled the interest rate protection agreement associated with the
Senior Secured Notes for an insignificant amount.
The interest rate protection agreement also required that the Company pay
an interest rate management fee equal to an annual rate of 0.93 percent of the
Senior Secured Note amount. This fee, which was approximately $1,052,000 in
1997, $3,098,000 in 1996 and $2,002,000 from May 12, 1995 to December 31, 1995,
is included in interest expense.
The predecessor owner borrowed funds when it acquired the predecessor
business. The related interest cost has not been included in the predecessor
business financial statements as that debt has not been assumed by the LLC and
there are no ongoing guarantees or pledges of the Company's assets relating to
that debt.

At December 31, 1997, the Company's taxable subsidiaries had net operating
losses available for carryforward to future years of $6,683,000 for federal
income tax purposes that will expire in the years 2005 through 2010. The
Company's taxable subsidiaries also had net operating losses available for
carryforward to future years relating to various city and state tax
jurisdictions that aggregate $48,774,000 and expire in the years 1998 through
2011.
The foreign tax credits available for carryforward to future years of
$16,106,000 will expire in 1999. The Company's alternative minimum tax credit
carryforwards of $1,339,000 may be used indefinitely to reduce future regular
federal income taxes to the extent regular federal income taxes exceed
alternative minimum tax. The general business credits available for carryforward
to future years of $218,000 will expire in the years 2002 through 2010.
Substantially all of the Company's valuation allowance is for net operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards generated through May 12, 1995. Future tax
benefits from these net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for which a
valuation allowance has been provided will reduce goodwill. During 1997 and 1996
goodwill was reduced by $1,862,000 and $472,000, respectively, for tax benefits
from tax credits and operating loss carryforwards.
The Company's valuation allowance decreased by a net $1,056,000 during
1997. This decrease was principally due to the use of tax credits and expiration
of net operating loss carryforwards for which a valuation allowance had
previously been provided. The Company's valuation allowance decreased a net
$2,869,000

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
during 1996 due, principally, to the expiration of tax credits and net operating
loss carryforwards for which a valuation allowance had previously been recorded.
The Company's valuation allowance increased by $125,000 from May 12, 1995
through December 31, 1995 and decreased by $769,000 from January 1, 1995 through
May 12, 1995. The changes in the valuation allowance were primarily due to the
net generation or utilization of federal and state operating losses during the
respective periods.
Federal, state and foreign income tax payments amounted to $32,673,000 in
1997; $6,432,000 in 1996; $2,499,000 for May 12, 1995 through December 31, 1995;
and $1,670,000 for January 1, 1995 through May 12, 1995.
The Company is indemnified by the predecessor owner against taxes for
periods prior to the acquisition subject to $2,000,000 to be paid by the Company
after an agreed amount of current taxes are paid. The Company has recorded the
$2,000,000 obligation in deferred income tax liabilities.

15. PENSIONS
The Company sponsors two domestic defined benefit plans and several defined
contribution plans. The Company has determined that it will primarily use
defined contribution plans to provide retirement benefits to employees.
In December 1995, the Company amended its qualified noncontributory defined
benefit plan for management employees (Management Retirement Plan) to curtail
any further benefit accruals beyond December 31, 1995. All benefits earned under
the plan were vested at December 31, 1995. The plan has not been terminated. The
Company recognized a curtailment gain of $4,186,000 in accordance with SFAS No.
88, Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and for Terminated Benefits, in the May 12, 1995 through December
31, 1995 consolidated statement of operations.
A noncontributory, nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
provides benefits for certain executives. The plan is unfunded apart from
general assets of the Company.
The Company also sponsors a qualified investment and profit-sharing plan
covering domestic employees that meet certain minimum service requirements.
Participants are able to contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan.
The Company matches participant contributions up to a certain portion of
participant base pay. The Company also makes profit-sharing contributions to the
plan based on a portion of participants' base pay. The amount of expense for
investment matching and profit sharing totaled $1,955,000 in 1997; $1,300,000 in
1996; $1,157,000 from May 12, 1995 through December 31, 1995; and $659,000 from
January 1, 1995 through May 12, 1995.
The Company sponsors nonqualified deferred compensation plans for
executives. The Company makes matching contributions based on participant
contributions and percentages of compensation. One of the executive deferred
compensation plans also provides a fixed rate of return to participants. The
costs of the executive deferred compensation plans are not significant.

The actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation of the
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was determined assuming an increase in
future compensation levels of 5.5% and 6.0% at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Because benefits were frozen on December 31, 1995, no assumption
for increases in future compensation levels was required in order to determine
the present value of the projected benefit obligation of the Management
Retirement Plan. An expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 8.5% was
used in each period. A discount rate of 8.5% was used during 1995 and was
reduced to 7.5% on December 31, 1995. On December 31, 1997, the discount rate
was reduced to 6% for the Management Retirement Plan and 7% for the Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan. The changes in the discount rate and future
compensation levels have not had a significant impact on net pension costs.
During 1997, the Company approved the termination of the management
retirement plan. The Company plans to settle the accumulated obligations through
nonparticipating insurance contracts. This transaction is expected to be
completed in 1998.
16. OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company sponsored two defined benefit postretirement plans that covered
certain domestic salaried employees. One plan provided life insurance, and the
other provides medical and dental benefits. The postretirement health care plan
is contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually, and contains
F-80

other cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. The Company

For measurement purposes, a 7.0% annual rate of increase in the per capita
cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 1997; the rate was assumed
to decrease gradually to 5% by 2007 and remain at that level thereafter.
Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in
each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of
December 31, 1997 by $99,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest cost
components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year then ended
by $7,000.
An expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 5% was used in 1997
and 1996. An expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 5.7% was used
in each of the other periods. A discount rate of 8.5% was used during 1995 and
was reduced to 7.5% on December 31, 1995 and remained unchanged on December 31,
1996. The discount rate was reduced to 7% on December 31, 1997. The changes in
the discount rate have not had a significant impact on postretirement benefit
costs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
In August 1997, the Company terminated its postretirement life insurance
plan. The insurance obligations were settled through the purchase of
nonparticipating single premium insurance contracts, and the remaining plan
assets, totaling approximately $6,446,000, were transferred to a voluntary
employee benefit association (VEBA) to fund future medical expenses.
Additionally, the Company amended its postretirement medical plan to exclude a
substantial portion of its employees. A limited number of qualified employees
and retirees will continue to receive this benefit. The Company has recorded a
curtailment gain of $1,850,000 resulting from these benefit plan changes.
17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments approximate fair
value as determined by the Company, using appropriate market information and
valuation methodologies, as noted below. Considerable judgment is required to
develop the estimates of fair value. Thus, the estimates provided below as of
December 31 are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had capital commitments for the
following (thousands):
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Capital expenditures........................................ $ 5,000
Loans and investments for new hotel ventures and management

-------
Total commitments........................................... $18,700
=======
</TABLE>
Approximately $4,118,000 of these commitments will not require funding
until 1999.
The Company has also guaranteed its proportionate share of a joint venture
indebtedness totaling $2,800,000 and has provided operating cash flow guarantees
to a managed hotel owned by an affiliate totaling $2,500,000 annually for each
of the next four years.
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits which are incidental to its
business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will
not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
In January 1996 the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and a consultant
of the company were named defendants in a lawsuit filed by Radisson Hotels
International, Inc. (Radisson). Radisson asserted claims for a patent
infringement, trade secret misappropriation, unfair competition and breach of
contract. The Company indemnified its consultant from Radisson's patent
infringement claim and filed a counterclaim to declare Radisson's patent
invalid. In 1997 the Company settled this matter and recorded an expense. The
Company is pursuing insurance recoveries related to this matter.
19. MANAGEMENT AND SERVICE AGREEMENT
The Company provides management and related services to owned and nonowned
hotels under agreements with terms generally ranging from 2 to 30 years. Fees
paid to the Company are based primarily upon percentages of the hotels' gross
operating revenues or gross operating profits as defined in the agreements.
F-83

The net cost reflects the Company's pro rata share of sales, marketing and
hotel reservation costs.
Additionally, under the agreements, the Company generally provides hotels
with the services of certain full-time employees. The Company is reimbursed for
these employees' salaries and related benefits.
Management and representation fees to partnerships carried on the equity
basis of accounting are at terms that are comparable to fees under similar
agreements with unrelated third parties.
20. OPERATING LEASE OBLIGATIONS
Operating lease agreements cover land, hotel buildings, office space,
furniture and equipment at several locations. Lease terms generally provide that
the Company is to pay minimum rentals, taxes, insurance, maintenance and
utilities associated with the leased properties, as well as rentals based upon
percentages of operating profits or revenues. Rent expense pursuant to
percentages of operating profits totaled $3,535,000 and $3,633,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Percentage rent was not material
for 1995.
Future minimum lease payments are as follows:

21. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
During the period from May 12, 1995 to December 31, 1995, the LLC awarded
equity-based compensation to certain key employees. The equity-based
compensation arrangements consisted of options granted to acquire up to 5% of
the outstanding equity of the LLC or its subsidiaries. The options vested over a
five-year period and were exercisable upon the earlier of five years or a change
in control in or liquidation of
F-84
<PAGE> 88
WESTIN COMBINED, W & S HOTEL L.L.C. CONSOLIDATED
AND PREDECESSOR BUSINESS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
the LLC. The option strike prices increased from initial strike prices based on
the fair value of the LLC at the date of employment, at annual rates ranging
from 15% to 25%, with a weighted average rate of increase of 18%. Additional
options were granted during 1996 representing approximately 0.25% of the total
outstanding equity of the LLC or its subsidiaries. These options were
exercisable based on the estimated fair value of the LLC or its subsidiaries at
the grant date, increasing annually by 10% with similar vesting provisions as
the options granted in 1995. All options granted were outstanding at December
31, 1996. Twenty percent of the options granted prior to December 31, 1995 were
vested at December 31, 1996. No options were exercisable and no options were
exercised, forfeited or expired during the period from May 12, 1995 to December
31, 1996. In connection with the liquidation of the LLC, the merger of Worldwide
into the Trust and the sale of the capital stock of all affiliate companies to
Starwood discussed in Note 1 (the Merger), the option holders exercised their
options and received cash and Starwood paired shares in the same ratios as the
LLC members.
The LLC estimates the fair value of its stock options following the
provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under the
provisions of SFAS 123, the fair value of increasing strike price options is the
difference between a risk-free interest rate that corresponds to the option
period and the rate of increase of the option strike price. Since the rates of
increase exceed the risk-free interest rates, the fair value of the options at
the time of the award was zero. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been
reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
During 1997, the LLC offered certain executives of the Company the right to
invest in restricted equity instruments which vest over four years. In
connection with the Merger, the officers who elected to invest received cash and
Starwood paired shares in the same ratios as the LLC members. The cash to be
received by the officers in excess of amounts invested has been accrued as
compensation expense in the accompanying financial statements. The fair value of
the shares received by the officers is being amortized over the four year
vesting period. Accrued compensation relating to this award was $2,642,000 at
December 31, 1997.
22. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Equity was issued in exchange for notes receivable in 1997 for $780,000 and
in the period May 12, 1995 through December 31, 1995 for $4,640,000.
Capital lease obligations of $5,564,000, $4,888,000, $474,000 and $32,000
were incurred or assumed in connection with hotel acquisitions in 1997, 1996,
the period May 12, 1995 through December 31, 1995 and the period January 1, 1995
through May 12, 1995, respectively.
In 1997, Senior Secured Notes of $324,500,000 were refinanced with the
proceeds of the May 1997 Senior Credit Facility of $331,000,000, net of
$6,500,000 of deferred loan costs. Also in 1997, the May 1997 Senior Credit
Facility of $331,000,000 and Subordinated Notes of $119,488,000 were refinanced
with the proceeds of the Senior Credit Facility of $462,226,000, net of
$11,738,000 of deferred loan costs.
23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Through January 1998, the Company operated in Asia subject to an exclusive
license granted by the predecessor owner to manage, franchise and invest in
hotels in Asia under the Westin Hotels & Resorts name. The Company, through its
successor owner (as more fully described in Note 1), purchased the rights to the
exclusive license for approximately $36,000,000 and acquired a note receivable
from Westin Hotels Limited Partnership for $34,000,000 plus accrued interest and
certain deferred incentive management fees for $10,000,000.
