ITEMS 1 and 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES We are a worldwide operator and franchisor of hotels and related lodging facilities, an operator of senior living communities, and a provider of distribution services. Our operations are grouped into six business segments, Full Service Lodging, Select Service Lodging, Extended Stay Lodging, Timeshare, Senior Living Services and Distribution Services, which represented 55, 9, 6, 8, 7, and 15 percent, respectively, of total sales in the fiscal year ended December 29, 2000. In our Lodging business, we operate, develop and franchise hotels under 14 separate brand names and we operate, develop and market Marriott timeshare properties under 3 separate brand names. Our lodging business includes the Full Service, Select Service, Extended Stay and Timeshare segments. 2 In our Senior Living Services segment at December 29, 2000, we developed and operated 153 senior living communities offering independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing care for seniors in the United States. Marriott Distribution Services (MDS) supplies food and related products to external customers and to internal lodging and senior living services operations throughout the United States. Financial information by industry segment and geographic area as of December 29, 2000 and for the three fiscal years then ended, appears in the Business Segments note to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report. Formation of "New" Marriott International - Spinoff in March 1998 We became a public company in March 1998, when we were spun off (the Spinoff) as a separate entity by the company formerly named "Marriott International, Inc." (Old Marriott). Our company - the "new" Marriott International - was formed to conduct the lodging, senior living and distribution services businesses formerly conducted by Old Marriott. The Spinoff was effected through a dividend of one share of our common stock and one share of our Class A Common Stock for each share of Old Marriott Common Stock outstanding on March 20, 1998. As the result of a shareholders' vote at our 1998 annual meeting of shareholders, on May 21, 1998 we converted all of our outstanding shares of common stock into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. At the same time as the Spinoff, Old Marriott merged its remaining businesses - food service and facilities management - with the similar businesses of Sodexho Alliance, S.A. (Sodexho Alliance) in the United States and Canada, to form Sodexho Marriott Services, Inc. (SMS). On June 20, 2001, SMS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sodexho Alliance and changed its name to Sodexho, Inc. We are providing certain transitional administrative services to SMS, and MDS provides food distribution services to many of SMS's food service locations. Lodging We operate or franchise 2,099 lodging properties worldwide, with 390,469 rooms as of December 29, 2000. In addition, we provide 6,959 furnished corporate housing units. We believe that our portfolio of lodging brands - from luxury to economy to extended stay to corporate housing - is the broadest of any company in the world, and that we are the leader in the quality tier of the vacation timesharing business. Consistent with our focus on management and franchising, we own very few of our lodging properties. Our lodging brands include: Full Service Lodging Extended Stay Lodging . Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites . Residence Inn . Marriott Conference Centers . TownePlace Suites . JW Marriott Hotels . Marriott Executive Apartments . Renaissance Hotels, Resorts and Suites . ExecuStay by Marriott . Ramada International Hotels, Resorts and Suites (Europe, Middle East and Asia/Pacific) Timeshare . Bvlgari Hotels and Resorts/1/ . Marriott Vacation Club International . The Ritz-Carlton Hotels . Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club . The Ritz-Carlton Club Select Service Lodging . Courtyard . Fairfield Inn . SpringHill Suites /1/As part of our ongoing strategy to expand our reach through partnerships with preeminent, world-class companies, in early 2001, we announced our plans to launch a joint venture with Bulgari SpA to introduce a distinctive new luxury hotel brand - Bvlgari Hotels and Resorts. 3 Company-Operated Lodging Properties At December 29, 2000, we operated a total of 931 properties (231,416 rooms) as owned or under long-term management or lease agreements with property owners (together, the Operating Agreements). Terms of our management agreements vary, but typically we earn a management fee which comprises a base fee, which is a percentage of the revenues of the hotel, and an incentive management fee, which is based on the profits of the hotel. Our management agreements also typically include reimbursement of costs (both direct and indirect) of operations. Such agreements are generally for initial periods of 20 to 30 years, with options to renew for up to 50 additional years. Our lease agreements also vary, but typically include fixed annual rentals plus additional rentals based on a percentage of annual revenues in excess of a fixed amount. Many of the Operating Agreements are subordinated to mortgages or other liens securing indebtedness of the owners. Additionally, a number of the Operating Agreements permit the owners to terminate the agreement if financial returns fail to meet defined levels and we have not cured such deficiencies. For lodging facilities that we manage, we are responsible for hiring, training and supervising the managers and employees required to operate the facilities and for purchasing supplies, for which we generally are reimbursed by the owners. We provide centralized reservation services, and national advertising, marketing and promotional services, as well as various accounting and data processing services. For lodging facilities that we manage, we prepare and implement annual operating budgets that are subject to owner review. Franchised Lodging Properties We have franchising programs that permit the use of certain of our brand names and our lodging systems by other hotel owners and operators. Under these programs, we generally receive an initial application fee and continuing royalty fees, which typically range from four percent to six percent of room revenues for all brands, plus two percent to three percent of food and beverage revenues for certain full-service hotels. In addition, franchisees contribute to our national marketing and advertising programs, and pay fees for use of our centralized reservation systems. At December 29, 2000, we had 1,168 franchised properties (159,053 rooms). Summary of Properties by Brand ------------------------------ As of December 29, 2000 we operated or franchised the following properties by brand (excluding 6,959 corporate housing rental units): Company-operated Franchised ------------------------- --------------------------- Brand Properties Rooms Properties Rooms --------------------------------------------------------- ------------ ---------- ------------ ---------- Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites ..................... 238 105,396 155 43,825 Ritz-Carlton ............................................ 38 13,018 - - Renaissance Hotels, Resorts and Suites .................. 78 30,133 29 9,995 Ramada International .................................... 7 1,325 40 7,870 Residence Inn ........................................... 139 18,052 215 23,298 Courtyard ............................................... 280 43,689 240 30,152 TownePlace Suites ....................................... 31 3,290 53 5,242 Fairfield Inn ........................................... 52 7,526 387 33,886 SpringHill Suites ....................................... 12 1,736 49 4,785 Marriott Vacation Club International .................... 47 5,556 - - Marriott Executive Apartments and other ................. 9 1,695 - - ------------ ---------- ------------ ---------- Total ................................................... 931 231,416 1,168 159,053 ============ ========== ============ ========== We plan to open over 200 hotels (more than 35,000 rooms) during 2001. We believe that we have access to sufficient financial resources to finance our growth, as well as to support our ongoing operations and meet debt service and other cash requirements. Nonetheless, our ability to sell properties that we develop, and the ability of hotel developers to build or acquire new Marriott properties, which are important parts of our growth plans, is partially dependent on the availability and price of capital. 4 Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites (including JW Marriott Hotels and Marriott Conference Centers) primarily serve business and leisure travelers and meeting groups at locations in downtown and suburban areas, near airports and at resort locations. Most Marriott full-service hotels contain from 300 to 500 rooms. Marriott full-service hotels typically have swimming pools, gift shops, convention and banquet facilities, a variety of restaurants and lounges and parking facilities. Marriott resort hotels have additional recreational facilities, such as tennis courts and golf courses. The 13 Marriott Suites (approximately 3,400 rooms) are full-service suite hotels that typically contain approximately 260 suites, each consisting of a living room, bedroom and bathroom. Marriott Suites have limited meeting space. Unless otherwise indicated, references throughout this report to Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites include JW Marriott Hotels and Marriott Conference Centers. JW Marriott Hotels are located in many of the world's major gateway cities in upscale business and resort locations. These 13 hotels cater to discerning upscale travelers seeking a lodging experience of high comfort and prestige. Most JW Marriott Hotels contain 300 to 450 rooms. In addition to the features found in a typical Marriott full-service hotel, the facilities and amenities in the JW Marriott Hotels include valet parking, upgraded in-room amenities, "on-call" housekeeping, upgraded executive business centers and fitness centers/spas, and 24-hour room service. We operate 13 conference centers (3,154 rooms), located throughout the United States. Some of the centers are used exclusively by employees of the sponsoring organization, while others are marketed to outside meeting groups and individuals. The centers typically include meeting room space, dining facilities, guestrooms and recreational facilities. Room operations contributed the majority of hotel sales for fiscal year 2000 with the remainder coming from food and beverage operations, recreational facilities and other services. Although business at many resort properties is seasonal depending on location, overall hotel profits have been relatively stable and include only moderate seasonal fluctuations.

On December 20, 2000 we announced our plans to convert approximately 80 Treff hotels to Ramada-Treff hotels. We also entered into an agreement with Treff hotels for them to develop, over the next five years, ten new Ramada International hotels per year, primarily in Germany and Switzerland.

At December 29, 2000, 61 properties (6,521 rooms) were located in 24 states. Marriott Vacation Club International develops, sells and operates vacation timesharing resorts. Revenues are generated from three primary sources: (1) selling fee simple and other forms of timeshare intervals, (2) operating the resorts and (3) financing consumer purchases of timesharing intervals. Many timesharing resorts are located adjacent to Marriott hotels, and timeshare owners have access to certain hotel facilities during their vacation. Owners can trade their annual interval for intervals at other Marriott timesharing resorts or for intervals at certain timesharing resorts not otherwise sponsored by Marriott through an affiliated exchange company. Owners also can trade their unused interval for points in the Marriott Rewards frequent stay program, enabling them to stay at over 2,000 Marriott hotels worldwide. In 2000, we successfully launched The Ritz-Carlton Club, our luxury vacation timesharing resort, with two premier locations: St Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands and Aspen, Colorado. We also initiated sales at Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club (Horizons) at a resort in Branson, Missouri and at our flagship resort in Orlando, Florida. Horizons represents our entrance into the moderate tier vacation ownership market. Marriott Vacation Club International's owner base continues to expand, with 182,000 owners at year end 2000, compared to 140,000 in 1999. Marriott Vacation Club International (all brands) Geographic Distribution at December 29, 2000 Resorts Units ---------------------------------------------------- --------- --------- Continental United States .......................... 40 4,586 Hawaii ............................................. 2 386 Caribbean .......................................... 3 285 Europe ............................................. 2 299 --------- --------- Total .............................................. 47 5,556 ========= ========= We provide temporary housing (serviced apartments) for business executives and others who need quality accommodations outside their home country, usually for 30 or more days. Some serviced apartments operate under the Marriott Executive Apartments brand, which is designed specifically for the long-term international traveler. At December 29, 2000, nine serviced apartment properties (1,695 units), including four Marriott Executive Apartments, were located in five countries and territories. All Marriott Executive Apartments are located outside the United States. ExecuStay provides furnished corporate apartments for stays of one month or longer nationwide. ExecuStay owns no residential real estate and provides units primarily through short-term lease agreements with apartment owners and managers. 7 Other Activities Marriott Golf manages 26 golf course facilities for us and for other golf course owners. We operate 19 systemwide hotel reservation centers, 13 of them in the U.S. and Canada and six internationally, that handle reservation requests for Marriott lodging brands worldwide, including franchised properties. We own one of the U.S. facilities and lease the others. Our Architecture and Construction Division assists in the design, development, construction and refurbishment of lodging properties and senior living communities and is paid a fee by the property owners. Competition We encounter strong competition both as a lodging operator and as a franchisor. There are over 650 lodging management companies in the United States, including several that operate more than 100 properties. These operators are primarily private management firms, but also include several large national chains that own and operate their own hotels and also franchise their brands. Management contracts are typically long-term in nature, but most allow the hotel owner to replace the management firm if certain financial or performance criteria are not met. Affiliation with a national or regional brand is prevalent in the U.S. lodging industry. In 2000, the majority of U.S. hotel rooms were brand-affiliated. Most of the branded properties are franchises, under which the operator pays the franchisor a fee for use of its hotel name and reservation system. The franchising business is fairly concentrated, with the three largest franchisors operating multiple brands accounting for a significant proportion of all U.S. rooms. Outside the United States branding is much less prevalent, and most markets are served primarily by independent operators. We believe that chain affiliation will increase in overseas markets as local economies grow, trade barriers are reduced, international travel accelerates and hotel owners seek the economies of centralized reservation systems and marketing programs. Based on lodging industry data, we have nearly an eight percent share of the U.S. hotel market (based on number of rooms), less than a one percent share of the lodging market outside the United States and a nine percent share of annual worldwide timesharing sales of about $8 billion. We believe that our hotel brands are attractive to hotel owners seeking a management company or franchise affiliation, because our hotels typically generate higher occupancies and Revenue per Available Room (REVPAR) than direct competitors in most market areas. We attribute this performance premium to our success in achieving and maintaining strong customer preference. Approximately 30 percent of our ownership resort sales come from additional purchases by or referrals from existing owners. We believe that the location and quality of our lodging facilities, our marketing programs, reservation systems and our emphasis on guest service and satisfaction are contributing factors across all of our brands. Properties that we operate or franchise are regularly upgraded to maintain their competitiveness. Our management, lease, and franchise agreements provide for the allocation of funds, generally a fixed percentage of revenue, for periodic renovation of buildings and replacement of furnishings. We believe that the ongoing refurbishment program is adequate to preserve the competitive position and earning power of the hotels. We also strive to update and improve the products and services we offer. We believe that by operating a number of hotels in each of our brands, we stay in direct touch with customers and react to changes in the marketplace more quickly than chains which rely exclusively on franchising. Marriott Rewards is a frequent guest program with a total of over 14 million members, and nine participating Marriott brands. The Marriott Rewards program yields repeat guest business due to rewarding frequent stays with points toward free hotel stays and other rewards, or airline miles with any of 20 participating airline programs. We believe that Marriott Rewards generates substantial repeat business that might otherwise go to competing hotels. 8 Marriott Senior Living Services In our Senior Living Services business, we develop and operate both "independent full-service" and "assisted living" senior living communities and provide related senior care services. Most are rental communities with monthly rates that depend on the amenities and services provided. We are one of the largest U.S. operators of senior living communities in the quality tier. At December 29, 2000 we operated 153 senior living communities in 30 states. Communities Units (1) ----------- ---------- Independent full-service - owned ......................................... 3 1,193 - operated under long-term agreements ........... 42 11,649 ------ ------ 45 12,842 Assisted living - owned ......................................... 46 5,010 - operated under long-term agreements ........... 62 8,066 ------ ------ 108 13,076 ------ ------ Total senior living communities ...................... 153 25,918 ====== ====== (1) Units represent independent living apartments plus beds in assisted living and nursing centers. At December 29, 2000, we operated 45 independent full-service senior living communities, which offer both independent living apartments and personal assistance units for seniors. Most of these communities also offer licensed nursing care. At December 29, 2000, we also operated 108 assisted living senior living communities principally under the names "Brighton Gardens by Marriott," "Village Oaks," and "Marriott MapleRidge." Assisted living communities are for seniors who benefit from assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing or medication. Brighton Gardens is a quality-tier assisted living concept which generally has 90 assisted living suites and in certain locations, 30 to 45 nursing beds in a community. In some communities, separate on-site centers also provide specialized care for residents with Alzheimer's or other memory-related disorders. Village Oaks is a moderately-priced assisted living concept which emphasizes companion living and generally has 70 suites in a community. This concept is geared for the cost conscious senior who benefits from the companionship of another unrelated individual. Marriott MapleRidge assisted living communities consist of a cluster of six or seven 14-room cottages which offer residents a smaller scale, more intimate setting and family-like living at a moderate price. The assisted living concepts typically include three meals per day, linen and housekeeping services, security, transportation, and social and recreational activities. Additionally, skilled nursing and therapy services are generally available to Brighton Gardens residents. Terms of the senior living services management agreements vary but typically include base management fees, ranging from four to six percent of revenues, central administrative services reimbursements and incentive management fees. Such agreements are generally for initial periods of five to 30 years, with options to renew for up to 25 additional years. Under the leases covering certain of the communities, we pay the owner fixed annual rent plus additional rent equal to a percentage of the amount by which annual revenues exceed a fixed amount. Our Senior Living Services business competes mostly with local and regional providers of long-term health care and senior living services, although there are some national providers in the assisted living market. We compete by operating well-maintained facilities, and by providing quality health care, food service and other services at competitive prices. The reputation for service, quality care and know how associated with the Marriott name is also attractive to residents and their families. We have focused on developing relationships with professionals who often refer seniors to senior living communities, such as hospital discharge planners and physicians. 9 Marriott Distribution Services MDS is a United States limited-line distributor of food and related supplies, carrying an average of 3,000 product items per distribution center. This segment originally focused on purchasing, warehousing and distributing food and supplies to other Marriott businesses. However, MDS has increased its third-party business to about 89 percent of total sales volume for the year ended December 29, 2000. MDS operated a nationwide network of 13 distribution centers at December 29, 2000. Leased facilities are generally built to our specifications, and utilize a narrow aisle concept and technology to enhance productivity. Through MDS, we compete with numerous national, regional and local distribution companies in the $147 billion U.S. food distribution industry. We attract clients by adopting competitive pricing policies and by maintaining one of the highest order fill rates in the industry. In addition, our limited product lines, operating systems, and other economies provide a favorable cost structure, which we are able to leverage in pursuing new business. Employee Relations At December 29, 2000, we had approximately 153,000 employees. Approximately 6,350 employees were represented by labor unions. We believe relations with our employees are positive. Other Properties In addition to the operating properties discussed above, we lease an 870,000 square foot office building in Bethesda, Maryland, which serves, as our headquarters. We believe our properties are in generally good physical condition with need for only routine repair and maintenance. ITEM 3.

We consider systemwide sales to be a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the growth in revenues of all of the properties that carry one of the Marriott brand names. Our growth in profitability is in large part driven by such overall revenue growth. Nevertheless, systemwide sales should not be considered an alternative to revenues, operating profit, net income, cash flows from operations, or any other operating measure prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, systemwide sales may not be comparable to similarly titled measures, such as sales and revenues, which do not include gross sales generated by managed and franchised properties. 12 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General The following discussion presents an analysis of results of our operations for fiscal years ended December 29, 2000, December 31, 1999, and January 1, 1999. Revenue per available rooms (REVPAR) is calculated by dividing room sales for comparable properties by room nights available to guests for the period. We consider REVPAR to be a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period over period growth in room revenues for comparable properties. REVPAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures such as revenues. Comparable REVPAR, room rate and occupancy statistics used throughout this report are based on U.S. properties operated by us except for Fairfield Inn, which data also include franchised units. Systemwide sales and statistics include data from our franchised properties, in addition to our owned, leased and managed properties. Systemwide statistics are based on comparable worldwide units and reflect the impact of foreign exchange rates. In 1998 we changed our accounting policy to no longer include the working capital and sales of managed hotels and managed senior living communities in our financial statements. Instead, our sales include fees earned plus costs recovered from owners of managed properties. Consolidated Results 2000 Compared to 1999 Net income increased 20 percent to $479 million and diluted earnings per share advanced 25 percent to $1.89. Profit growth was driven by our strong U.S. lodging operations, lower system-related costs associated with the year 2000 and the impact on the 1999 financial results of a $39 million pretax charge to reflect a litigation settlement. Results were also impacted by a $15 million one-time write-off of a contract investment in our Distribution Services segment in the first quarter of 2000. Sales increased 15 percent to $10 billion in 2000, reflecting strong revenue resulting from new and established hotels, contributions from established Senior Living communities, as well as new customers in our Distribution Services business. Systemwide sales increased by 12 percent to $19.8 billion in 2000. 1999 Compared to 1998 Net income increased three percent to $400 million in 1999 and diluted earnings per share advanced three percent to $1.51. Overall profit growth in 1999 was curtailed by a $39 million pretax charge to reflect an agreement to settle litigation, incremental costs of our Year 2000 readiness efforts, and an operating loss in our Senior Living Services business. Sales increased 10 percent to $8.7 billion in 1999, reflecting revenue gains at established hotels, and contributions from new lodging properties and Senior Living communities. Systemwide sales grew 10 percent to $17.7 billion in 1999. Marriott Lodging Annual Change ----------------------------- (dollars in millions) 2000 1999 1998 00/99 99/98 ------------------------------- ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------ -------------- Sales ......................... $7,911 $7,041 $6,311 +12% +12% Operating profit .............. 936 827 704 +13% +17% 2000 Compared to 1999 Marriott Lodging, which includes our full service, select service, extended stay, and timeshare segments, reported a 13 percent increase in operating profit on 12 percent higher sales in 2000. Results reflected solid room rate growth at U.S. hotels, and contributions from new properties worldwide. Lodging operating profit in 2000 was attributable to base management fees (28 percent of total), franchise fees (17 percent), land rent and other income (three percent), resort timesharing (15 percent), and incentive management fees and other profit participations (37 percent). 13 Across our full-service lodging brands (Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites, Renaissance Hotels, Resorts and Suites and Ritz-Carlton), REVPAR for comparable company-operated U.S. properties grew by an average of 7.2 percent in 2000. Average room rates for these hotels rose 6.3 percent, while occupancy increased slightly to 77.4 percent. In 2000, as a result of the termination of two Ritz-Carlton management agreements, we wrote off our $3 million investment in these contracts. In addition, due to the bankruptcy of the owner of one hotel, we reserved $6 million of our investment in that management agreement. Our domestic select-service and extended-stay brands (Residence Inn, Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, TownePlace Suites and SpringHill Suites) added a total of 161 properties (18,870 rooms) and deflagged seven properties (1,500 rooms), primarily franchises, during the 2000 fiscal year. REVPAR for comparable properties increased 5.5 percent.

Marriott Vacation Club International also posted favorable profit growth in 2000, reporting a 34 percent increase in contract sales. The increase in contract sales reflects interest in our newest brands, Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club in Orlando, Florida, and The Ritz-Carlton Club resorts in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Aspen, Colorado, as well as continued strong demand for our timeshare properties in Hawaii, Aruba and California. The profit growth in 2000 was impacted by a $6 million decline in gains from the sale of notes receivable arising from lower note sale volume. At the end of the year, 24 resorts were in active sales, 23 resorts were sold out and an additional 13 resorts were under development. The Marketplace by Marriott (Marketplace), our hospitality procurement business, prepared for its launch as an independent company. In January 2001, Marriott and Hyatt Corporation formed a joint venture, Avendra LLC, and 14 we each merged our respective procurement businesses into it. Avendra LLC, is an independent professional procurement services company serving the North American hospitality market and related industries. Bass Hotels & Resorts, Inc., ClubCorp USA Inc. and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Inc. joined Avendra LLC in May 2001. 1999 Compared to 1998 Marriott Lodging reported a 17 percent increase in operating profit and 12 percent higher sales in 1999. Results reflected higher room rates for U.S. hotels, contributions from new hotels worldwide, and strong interval sales in resort timesharing. Lodging operating profit in 1999 was attributable to base management fees (27 percent of total), franchise fees (17 percent) and land rent (three percent) that are based on fixed dollar amounts or percentages of sales. The balance was attributable to our timesharing business (15 percent), and to incentive management fees and other income based on the profits of the underlying properties (38 percent). Across our Lodging brands, REVPAR for comparable company-operated U.S. properties grew by an average of 3.7 percent in 1999. Average room rates for these hotels rose 3.6 percent, while occupancy remained at 77.5 percent. Occupancy, average daily rate and REVPAR for each of our principal established brands are shown in the following table.

Strong interval sales were generated at timeshare resorts in Florida, South Carolina, Hawaii and Spain. During 1999, we had 21 resorts in active sales, including the initial project (Orlando, Florida) for Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club, a new product line targeting the moderate price tier of the timeshare market. Marriott Senior Living Services Annual Change ----------------------------- (dollars in millions) 2000 1999 1998 00/99 99/98 ------------------------------------ ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- Sales............................... $669 $559 $479 +20% +17% Operating (loss) profit............. (18) (18) 15 - n/m 2000 Compared to 1999 Marriott Senior Living Services posted a 20 percent increase in sales in 2000, reflecting the net addition of nine properties during the year and a four percentage point increase in occupancy for comparable communities to 88 percent. Despite the increase in sales, profitability was impacted by start-up inefficiencies for new properties, higher administrative expenses, pre-opening costs for new communities, costs related to debt associated with facilities developed by unaffiliated third parties, and charges associated with our decision to limit new construction until the market improves, resulting in a loss of $18 million. 1999 Compared to 1998 Marriott Senior Living Services posted a 17 percent increase in sales in 1999, as we added a net total of 31 new communities (4,216 living units) during the year. Occupancy for comparable communities increased by nearly one percentage point to 90 percent in 1999. The division reported an operating loss in 1999, primarily as a result of $18 million of pre-opening costs for new communities, increased accounts receivable reserves, and one-time charges associated with our decision to slow new construction until market conditions improve. Marriott Distribution Services Annual Change ----------------------------- (dollars in millions) 2000 1999 1998 00/99 99/98 ------------------------------------- ------------- ------------ -------------- ------------- ----------- Sales $1,500 $1,139 $1,178 +32% -3% Operating profit 4 21 17 -81% +24% 2000 Compared to 1999 Marriott Distribution Services (MDS) posted a 32 percent increase in sales for 2000, reflecting the commencement of service to three large restaurant chains in the year. Operating profit declined $17 million as a result of start-up inefficiencies associated with the new business and a $15 million pretax write-off of an investment in a contract with Boston Chicken, Inc. and its Boston Market-controlled subsidiaries, a major customer that filed for bankruptcy in October 1998. McDonald's Corporation (McDonald's) acquired Boston Market in 2000, and during the first quarter of 2000, MDS entered into an agreement with McDonald's to continue providing distribution services to Boston Market restaurants (refer to the "Intangible Assets" footnote in the financial statements set forth in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"). 1999 Compared to 1998 Operating profit for Marriott Distribution Services increased 24 percent in 1999 on a modest decline in sales. The division benefited from higher gross margins per case and reduced inventory losses compared to 1998. 16 Corporate Expenses, Interest and Taxes 2000 Compared to 1999 Corporate expenses decreased $44 million in 2000 to $120 million primarily due to a $39 million pretax charge in 1999 associated with a litigation settlement and systems-related costs associated with Year 2000 that were incurred in 1999, offset by costs incurred in 2000 associated with new corporate systems and a $3 million charge due to a change in our vacation accrual policy. Interest expense increased $39 million as a result of borrowings to finance growth outlays and share repurchases. Interest income increased $23 million primarily due to the collection of $14 million of interest associated with an international loan that was previously reserved for and increased advances and loan fundings made during 2000. Our effective income tax rate decreased to approximately 36.8 percent in 2000 from 37.3 percent in 1999 primarily due to increased income in countries with lower effective tax rates. 1999 Compared to 1998 Corporate expenses increased to $164 million in 1999 primarily due to a $39 million pretax charge associated with an agreement to settle pending litigation, together with increased systems-related costs, including $22 million of costs associated with our Year 2000 readiness program, compared to $12 million of Year 2000 readiness program costs in 1998. Interest expense more than doubled to $61 million as a result of borrowings to finance growth outlays and share repurchases. Our effective income tax rate decreased to approximately 37.3 percent in 1999 from 38.3 percent in 1998, primarily due to the impact of tax-oriented investments, and increased income in countries with lower effective tax rates. Lodging Development Marriott Lodging opened 238 properties totaling approximately 40,000 rooms across its brands in 2000, while 19 hotels (approximately 5,400 rooms) exited the system. Highlights of the year included: . Twenty-two full-service properties (approximately 5,400 rooms) opened outside the United States. These include our first hotels in Romania, Chile and Peru. . Fifty-five hotels (approximately 11,700 rooms) converted from independent status or competitor chains, including the 782-room Renaissance Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii, the 577-room Renaissance Hotel in Kissimee, Florida, and the 349-room Renaissance Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. . The addition of 161 properties (approximately 18,900 rooms) to our select-service and extended-stay brands. . The launch of The Ritz-Carlton Club resorts in Aspen, Colorado, and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, the development of a Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club resort in Branson, Missouri, and a new Marriott Vacation Club International resort in Shadow Ridge, California. At year-end 2000, we had over 400 hotel properties and more than 70,000 rooms under construction or approved for development. We expect to open over 200 hotels and timesharing resorts (more than 35,000 rooms) in 2001. Over a five-year period (1999 to 2003), we plan to add 175,000 rooms to our lodging system. These growth plans are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control. See "Forward-Looking Statements" above and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below. 17 Senior Living Services Development Due to oversupply conditions in some senior housing markets, we decided in 1999 to dramatically slow development of planned communities. Consequently, a number of projects in the early stages of development were postponed or cancelled. Additional projects were cancelled in the second and fourth quarters of 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources We have credit facilities, which support our commercial paper program and letters of credit. At December 29, 2000, our cash balances combined with our available borrowing capacity under the credit facilities was $2.3 billion. We consider these resources, together with cash expected to be generated by operations, adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, to finance our long-term growth plans, and to meet debt service and other cash requirements. We monitor the status of the capital markets, and regularly evaluate the effect that changes in capital market conditions may have on our ability to execute our announced growth plans. The Company has been adversely affected in the aftermath of the recent terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. Since the attacks, our hotels have experienced significant short-term declines in occupancy compared to the prior year. At present, it is not possible to predict either the severity or duration of such declines in the medium- or long-term, or the potential impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, as a result of the significant short-term declines in occupancy, the Company has taken steps to reduce costs, including reductions in staff. The Company is undertaking a comprehensive analysis of its cost structure including, among other things, overall staffing levels and facilities related costs. Furthermore, the Company is evaluating hotel financial performance subsequent to September 11, 2001 and its impact on the Company's investments and contingent obligations. Declines in hotel profitability reduce management and franchise fees and could give rise to fundings or losses under investments and contingent obligations that we have made in connection with hotels that we manage or franchise. The outcome of the Company's analysis may result in charges to operations and potentially a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cashflows. Cash from Operations Cash from operations was $850 million in 2000, $711 million in 1999, and $605 million in 1998. Net income is stated after depreciation expense of $123 million in 2000, $96 million in 1999, and $76 million in 1998, and after amortization expense of $72 million in 2000, $66 million in 1999 and $64 million in 1998. While our timesharing business generates strong operating cash flow, annual amounts are affected by the timing of cash outlays for the acquisition and development of new resorts, and cash received from purchaser financing. We include interval sales we finance in cash from operations when we collect cash payments or the notes are sold for cash. Earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased to $1,052 million in 2000 compared to $860 million in 1999, and $802 million in 1998, and has grown at a 19 percent compounded annual rate since 1995. We consider EBITDA to be an indicator of our operating performance because it can be used to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. Nevertheless, one should not consider EBITDA an alternative to net income, operating profit, cash flows from operations, or any other operating or liquidity measure prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. A substantial portion of our EBITDA is based on fixed dollar amounts or percentages of sales. These include lodging base management fees, franchise fees and land rent. With more than 2,000 hotels and senior living communities in the Marriott system, no single property or region is critical to our financial results. Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was .74 at December 29, 2000, compared to .92 at December 31, 1999. Each of our businesses minimizes working capital through cash management, strict credit-granting policies, aggressive collection efforts and high inventory turnover. Investing Activities Cash Flows Acquisitions. We continually seek opportunities to enter new markets, increase market share or broaden service offerings through acquisitions. Dispositions. Asset sales generated proceeds of $742 million in 2000, $436 million in 1999 and $332 million in 1998. Proceeds in 2000 are net of $79 million of financing and joint venture investments made by us in connection with the sales transactions. In 2000 we closed on the sales of 23 hotels and 15 senior living communities, which we continue to operate under long-term operating agreements. Subsequent to year-end, we closed on 16 lodging properties and one senior living community for cash proceeds of $361 million. 18 Capital Expenditures and Other Investments. Capital expenditures of $1,095 million in 2000, $929 million in 1999 and $937 million in 1998, included development and construction of new hotels and senior living communities and acquisitions of hotel properties. Over time, we expect to sell certain lodging and senior living properties under development, or to be developed, while continuing to operate them under long-term agreements. We also expect to continue to make other investments to grow our businesses, including loans, minority equity investments and development of new timeshare resorts in connection with adding units to our lodging business. On February 23, 2000, we entered into an agreement to resolve litigation involving certain limited partnerships formed in the mid-to late 1980s. Under the agreement, we paid $31 million to partners in four limited partnerships and acquired, through an unconsolidated joint venture (the Courtyard Joint Venture) with affiliates of Host Marriott Corporation (Host Marriott), substantially all of the limited partners' interests in two other limited partnerships, Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership (CBM I) and Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership (CBM II). These partnerships own 120 Courtyard by Marriott hotels. The Courtyard Joint Venture was financed with equity contributed in equal shares by us and affiliates of Host Marriott and approximately $200 million in mezzanine debt provided by us. Our total investment in the joint venture, including mezzanine debt, is approximately $300 million. In early 2000, the Company estimated the amount of the planned investment in the Courtyard Joint Venture based upon (1) estimated post acquisition cash flows, including anticipated changes in the related hotel management agreements to be made contemporaneously with the investment; (2) the investee's new capital structure; and (3) estimates of prevailing discount rates and capitalization rates reflected in the market at that time. The investment in the Courtyard Joint Venture was consummated late in the fourth quarter of 2000. For purposes of purchase accounting, the Courtyard Joint Venture valued its investment in the partnership units based on (1) pre-acquisition cash flows; (2) the pre-acquisition capital structure; and (3) prevailing discount rates and capitalization rates in December 2000. Due to a number of factors, the equity values used in the purchase accounting for the Courtyard Joint Venture's investment were different than limited partner unit estimates included in the CBM I and CBM II Purchase Offer and Consent Solicitations (the "Solicitations"). At a 20 percent discount rate, the combined CBM I and CBM II estimates reflected in the Solicitations totaled $254 million. In the purchase accounting, the corresponding equity value in the Courtyard Joint Venture totaled $372 million. The principal differences between these two amounts are attributed to the following: (1) the investment was consummated almost one year subsequent to the time the original estimates were prepared ($30 million); and (2) a lower discount rate (17 percent) and capitalization rate reflecting changes in market conditions versus the date at which the estimates in the solicitations were prepared ($79 million). The Company assessed its potential investment and any potential loss on settlement based on post-acquisition cash flows. The purchase accounting was based on pre-acquisition cash flows and capital structure. As a result, the factors giving rise to the differences outlined above did not materially impact the Company's previous assessment of any expense related to litigation. The post-settlement equity of the Joint Venture is considerably lower then the pre-acquisition equity due to additional indebtedness post-acquisition and the impact of changes to the management agreements made contemporaneously with the transaction. The overall results of our Lodging businesses are not generally impacted by fluctuations in the values of hotel real estate because (1) we own less than one percent of the total number of hotels that we operate or franchise; (2) management and franchise fees are generally based upon hotel revenues and profits versus hotel sales values; and (3) our management agreements generally do not terminate upon hotel sale. We have made loans to owners of hotels and senior living communities that we operate or franchise. Loans outstanding under this program totaled $592 million at December 29, 2000, including the mezzanine debt related to the Courtyard Joint Venture, $295 million at December 31, 1999, and $213 million at January 1, 1999. Unfunded commitments aggregating $829 million were outstanding at December 29, 2000, of which $332 million are expected to be funded in 2001 and $573 million are expected to be funded in total. These loans typically are secured by mortgages on the projects. We participate in a program with an unaffiliated lender in which we may partially guarantee loans made to facilitate third-party ownership of hotels and senior living services communities that we operate or franchise. Cash from Financing Activities Long-term debt increased by $340 million in 2000 and $409 million in 1999, primarily to finance our capital expenditure and share repurchase programs. Our financial objectives include diversifying our financing sources, optimizing the mix and maturity of our long-term debt and reducing our working capital. At year-end 2000, our long-term debt (including commercial paper borrowings of $827 million) had an average interest rate of 6.8 percent and an average maturity of approximately 4.7 years. The ratio of fixed rate long-term debt to total long-term debt was .59 as of December 29, 2000. In April 1999, January 2000 and January 2001, we filed "universal shelf" registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the amounts of $500 million, $300 million and $300 million, respectively. As of August 3, 2001, we had offered and sold to the public under these registration statements, $300 million of debt securities at 7 7/8 %, due 2009 and $300 million at 8 1/8 %, due 2005, leaving a balance of $500 million available for future offerings. In January 2001, we issued, through a private placement, $300 million of seven percent senior unsecured notes due 2008, and received net proceeds of $297 million. We have agreed to make and complete a registered exchange offer for these notes and, if required, to implement a resale shelf registration statement. If we fail to do so on a timely basis, we will pay additional interest to the holders of these notes. The registered exchange offer is expected to be completed in the second half of 2001 and significant additional interest payments are not anticipated. We have entered into revolving credit agreements that provide for borrowings of $1.5 billion expiring in March 2003, and $500 million expiring in February 2004. Loans of $26 million were outstanding at December 29, 2000, under these facilities, which support our commercial paper program and letters of credit. We had $1.1 billion of unused revolving credit available under these facilities as of December 29, 2000. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread, based on our public debt rating. 19 Cash from Financing Activities Long-term debt increased by $340 million in 2000 and $409 million in 1999, primarily to finance our capital expenditure and share repurchase programs. Our financial objectives include diversifying our financing sources, optimizing the mix and maturity of our long-term debt and reducing our working capital. At year-end 2000, our long-term debt (including commercial paper borrowings of $827 million) had an average interest rate of 6.8 percent and an average maturity of approximately 4.7 years. The ratio of fixed rate long-term debt to total long-term debt was .59 as of December 29, 2000. In April 1999, January 2000 and January 2001, we filed "universal shelf" registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the amounts of $500 million, $300 million and $300 million, respectively. As of August 3, 2001, we had offered and sold to the public under these registration statements, $300 million of debt securities at 7 7/8 %, due 2009 and $300 million at 8 1/8 %, due 2005, leaving a balance of $500 million available for future offerings. In January 2001, we issued, through a private placement, $300 million of seven percent senior unsecured notes due 2008, and received net proceeds of $297 million. We have agreed to make and complete a registered exchange offer for these notes and, if required, to implement a resale shelf registration statement. If we fail to do so on a timely basis, we will pay additional interest to the holders of these notes. The registered exchange offer is expected to be completed in the second half of 2001 and significant additional interest payments are not anticipated. We have entered into revolving credit agreements that provide for borrowings of $1.5 billion expiring in March 2003, and $500 million expiring in February 2004. Loans of $26 million were outstanding at December 29, 2000, under these facilities, which support our commercial paper program and letters of credit. We had $1.1 billion of unused revolving credit available under these facilities as of December 29, 2000. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread, based on our public debt rating. We called for mandatory redemption of our Liquid Yield Option Notes (LYONs) in 1999. Approximately 64 percent of LYONs holders elected to convert their notes to common stock, for which we issued 6.1 million shares. The other 36 percent of LYONs holders received cash totaling $120 million, which reduced by 3.4 million common shares the dilutive impact of these convertible debt securities issued by a predecessor company in 1996. Nine percent of the cash redemption price was reimbursed to us by our predecessor company (Sodexho Marriott Services, Inc.). On May 8, 2001, we issued zero-coupon convertible senior notes due 2021, known as LYONs, and received cash proceeds of $405 million. The LYONs are convertible into approximately 6.4 million shares of our Class A common stock and carry a yield to maturity of 0.75 percent. We determine our debt capacity based on the amount and variability of our cash flows. EBITDA coverage of gross interest cost was 6.9 times in 2000, and cash flow requirements under our loan agreements were exceeded by a substantial margin. At December 29, 2000, we had public debt ratings of BBB+ and Baa1 from Standard and Poor's and Moody's, respectively. Share Repurchases. We periodically repurchase our common stock to replace shares needed for employee stock plans and for other corporate purposes. We purchased 10.8 million of our shares in 2000 at an average price of $31 per share, and 10.8 million shares in 1999 at an average price of $33 per share. As of December 29, 2000, we had been authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase an additional 19.6 million shares. Dividends. In August 2000, our Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend by nine percent to $.06 per share and in August 2001, our Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend by an additional eight percent to $.065 per share. 20 Other Matters Einstein/Noah Bagel Corporation In 1996, MDS became the exclusive provider of distribution services to Einstein/Noah Bagel Corp. (ENBC), which operates over 450 bagel shops in 29 states and the District of Columbia. In March 2000, ENBC disclosed that its independent auditors had expressed substantial doubt about ENBC's ability to continue as a going concern, due to its inability to meet certain financial obligations. On April 27, 2000, ENBC and its majority-owned operating subsidiary filed voluntary bankruptcy petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona in Phoenix. On April 28, 2000, the Court approved a $31 million debtor-in-possession credit facility to allow for operation of the companies during reorganization, and also approved the payment in the ordinary course of business of prepetition trade creditor claims, including those of MDS, subject to recovery by the debtors under certain circumstances. On July 27, 2000, the Court entered an order approving ENBC's assumption of the MDS contract. MDS continues to distribute to ENBC and has been receiving full payment in accordance with the terms of its contractual agreement. On June 19, 2001, ENBC was acquired by New World Coffee-Manhattan Bagel Inc. and the contract was assumed by the new owner. Inflation Inflation has been moderate in recent years, and has not had a significant impact on our businesses. 21 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this risk by monitoring available financing alternatives and through development and application of credit granting policies. Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates is unchanged from December 31, 1999. Furthermore, we do not foresee any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how such exposure is managed in the near future. The following sensitivity analysis displays how our earnings and the fair values of certain instruments we hold are affected by changes in interest rates. We hold notes receivable that earn interest at variable rates. Hypothetically, an immediate one percentage point change in interest rates would change annual interest income by $3 million, based on the balances of these notes receivable at December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999. Changes in interest rates also impact the fair value of our long-term fixed rate debt and long-term fixed rate notes receivable. Based on the balances outstanding at December 29, 2000, and December 31, 1999, a hypothetical immediate one percentage point change in interest rates would change the fair value of our long-term fixed rate debt by $50 million and $41 million, respectively, and would change the fair value of long-term fixed rate notes receivable by $22 million and $5 million, respectively. Although commercial paper is classified as long-term debt (based on our ability and intent to refinance it on a long-term basis) all commercial paper matures within two months of year-end. Based on the balances of commercial paper outstanding at December 29, 2000, and December 31, 1999, a hypothetical one percentage point change in interest rates would change interest by $8 million for both periods, on an annualized basis. 22 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The following financial information is included on the pages indicated: Page ---------- Report of Independent Public Accountants .......................... 24 Consolidated Statement of Income .................................. 25 Consolidated Balance Sheet ........................................ 26 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows .............................. 27 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income .................... 28 Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity .................... 29 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ........................ 30-55 23 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders of Marriott International, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Marriott International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income as revised - see page 31 of notes to consolidated financial statements, cash flows and comprehensive income for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 29, 2000 and the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity for each of the two fiscal years ended December 29, 2000 and the period from March 27, 1998 to January 1, 1999. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As explained on page 31 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, Marriott International, Inc. has revised its consolidated financial statements to change the method of accounting for the Marriott Rewards Program in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The effect of adopting SAB No. 101 on January 1, 2000 was to increase both the revenues and expenses by $63 million. However, there was no change in financial position, cash flows, net income or basic and diluted earnings per share. The consolidated statements of income for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 29, 2000 were revised to present expanded line items related to sales and operating costs and expenses. In addition, Marriott International, Inc. added additional information regarding reportable segments under SFAS 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" and certain other disclosures to the notes to consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Marriott International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 29, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Marriott International, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, we, us or the Company), formerly New Marriott MI, Inc., as if we were a separate entity for all periods presented. During periods prior to March 27, 1998, we were a wholly owned subsidiary of the former Marriott International, Inc. (Old Marriott). On March 27, 1998, all of our issued and outstanding common stock was distributed, on a pro rata basis, as a special dividend (the Spinoff) to holders of common stock of Old Marriott, and the Company was renamed "Marriott International, Inc." Old Marriott's historical cost basis in our assets and liabilities has been carried over. Old Marriott received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that the Spinoff would be tax-free to it and its shareholders. For each share of common stock in Old Marriott, shareholders received one share of our Common Stock and one share of our Class A Common Stock. On May 21, 1998, all outstanding shares of our Common Stock were converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of our Class A Common Stock. Also on March 27, 1998, Old Marriott was renamed Sodexho Marriott Services, Inc. (SMS) and its food service and facilities management business was combined with the North American operations of Sodexho Alliance, S.A. (Sodexho), a worldwide food and management services organization. On June 20, 2001, SMS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sodexho Alliance and changed its name to Sodexho, Inc. For purposes of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between us and SMS after the Spinoff and to provide for orderly transition, we entered into various agreements with SMS including the Employee Benefits and Other Employee Matters Allocation Agreement, Liquid Yield Option Notes (LYONs) Allocation Agreement, Tax Sharing Agreement, Trademark and Trade Name License Agreement, Noncompetition Agreement, Employee Benefit Services Agreement, Procurement Services Agreement, Distribution Services Agreement, and other transitional services agreements. Effective as of the Spinoff date, pursuant to these agreements, we assumed sponsorship of certain of Old Marriott's employee benefit plans and insurance programs and succeeded to Old Marriott's liability to LYONs holders under the LYONs Indenture, nine percent of which was assumed by SMS. All material intercompany transactions and balances between entities included in these consolidated financial statements have been eliminated. Sales by us to SMS of $350 million in 2000, $435 million in 1999 and $434 million in 1998, have not been eliminated. Changes in Investments and Net Advances from Old Marriott represent our net income, the net cash transferred between Old Marriott and us, and certain non-cash items. Prior to the Spinoff, we operated as a unit of Old Marriott, utilizing Old Marriott's centralized systems for cash management, payroll, purchasing and distribution, employee benefit plans, insurance and administrative services. As a result, substantially all cash received by us was deposited in and commingled with Old Marriott's general corporate funds. Similarly, our operating expenses, capital expenditures and other cash requirements were paid by Old Marriott and charged directly or allocated to us. Certain assets and liabilities related to our operations were managed and controlled by Old Marriott on a centralized basis. Prior to the Spinoff such assets and liabilities were allocated to us based on our use of, or interest in, those assets and liabilities. In our opinion, the methods for allocating costs, assets and liabilities prior to the Spinoff were reasonable. We now perform these functions independently and the costs incurred have not been materially different from those allocated prior to the Spin-off. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. 30 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) Fiscal Year Our fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest to December 31. All fiscal years presented include 52 weeks. Financial Statement Revision We have revised the consolidated financial statements to change our method of accounting for the Marriott Rewards Program in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The effect of adopting SAB No. 101 on January 1, 2000 was to increase both revenues and expenses by $63 million for the year ended December 29, 2000. However, there was no change in financial position, cash flows, net income or basic and diluted earnings per share. We have also revised the consolidated financial statements for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 29, 2000, to present expanded line items related to sales and operating costs and expenses and to expand the number of reportable segments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" to include Full Service, Select Service, Extended Stay, Timeshare, Senior Living Services and Distribution Services. In addition, we added disclosures related to revenue recognition and certain other items to the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition Our sales include (1) management and franchise fees, (2) sales from our distribution services business, (3) sales from lodging properties and senior living communities owned or leased by us, and sales made by our other businesses; and (4) certain other revenues from properties managed by us. Management fees comprise a base fee, which is a percentage of the revenues of hotels or senior living communities, and an incentive fee, which is generally based on unit profitability. Franchise fees comprise initial application fees and continuing royalties generated from our franchise programs, which permit the hotel owners and operators to use certain of our brand names. Other revenues from managed properties include direct and indirect costs that are reimbursed to us by lodging and senior living community owners for properties that we manage. Other revenues include revenues from hotel properties and senior living communities that we own or lease, along with sales from our timeshare and ExecuStay businesses. We recognize base fees as revenue when earned in accordance with the contract. In interim periods we recognize incentive fees that would be due as if the contract were to terminate at that date, exclusive of any termination fees payable or receivable by us. Distribution Services: We recognize revenue from our distribution services business when goods have been shipped and title passes to the customer in accordance with the terms of the applicable distribution contract. Timeshare: We recognize revenue from timeshare interest sales in accordance with FAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate." We recognize sales when a minimum of 10 percent of the purchase price for the timeshare interval has been received, the period of cancellation with refund has expired, receivables are deemed collectible and certain minimum sales and construction levels have been attained. Owned and Leased Units: We recognize room sales and revenues from guest services for our owned and leased units, including ExecuStay, when rooms are occupied and services have been rendered. Franchise Revenue: We recognize franchise fee revenues in accordance with FAS No. 45, "Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue." Franchise fees are recognized as revenue in each accounting period as fees are earned and become receivable from the franchisee. Other Revenues from Managed Properties: We recognize other revenues from managed properties when we incur the related reimbursable costs. 31 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) We recognized sales in the year ended December 29, 2000, December 31, 1999 and January 1, 1999 as shown in the following table.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) Ground Leases We are both the lessor and lessee of land under long-term operating leases, which include scheduled increases in minimum rents. These scheduled rent increases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease terms. Real Estate Sales We account for the sales of real estate in accordance with FAS No. 66. Gains on sales of real estate are reduced by the maximum exposure to loss if we have continuing involvement with the property and do not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. We reduced gains on sales of real estate due to maximum exposure to loss by $18 million in 2000, $8 million in 1999, and $57 million in 1998. Profit Sharing Plan We contribute to a profit sharing plan for the benefit of employees meeting certain eligibility requirements and electing participation in the plan. Contributions are determined annually by the Board of Directors. We recognized compensation cost from profit sharing of $55 million in 2000, $46 million in 1999 and $45 million in 1998. Self-Insurance Programs We are self-insured for certain levels of general liability, workers' compensation, employment practices and employee medical coverage. Estimated costs of these self-insurance programs are accrued at the present value of projected settlements for known and incurred but not reported claims. We use a discount rate of five percent to determine the present value of the projected settlements, which we consider to be reasonable given our history of settled claims, including payment patterns and the fixed nature of the individual settlements. Marriott Rewards Marriott Rewards is our frequent guest incentive marketing program. Marriott Rewards members earn points based on their spending at our lodging operations and, to a lesser degree, through participation in affiliated partners' programs, such as those offered by airlines and credit card companies. Points can be redeemed at most Marriott company operated and franchised properties; however, points cannot be redeemed for cash. Points are accumulated and tracked on the members' behalf, and can be redeemed for hotel stays at most of our lodging operations, airline tickets, airline frequent flier program miles, rental cars, and a variety of other awards. Marriott Rewards is provided as a marketing program to participating hotels. The cost of operating the program, including the estimated cost of award redemption, is charged to hotels based on members' qualifying expenditures. Effective January 1, 2000, we changed our method of accounting for the Marriott Rewards program in accordance with SAB No. 101. Under the new accounting method, we defer revenue received from managed, franchised, and Marriott-owned/leased hotels and program partners equal to the fair value of our future redemption obligation. We determine the fair value of the future redemption obligation based on statistical formulas which project timing of future point redemption based on historical levels, including an estimate of the "breakage" for points that will never be redeemed, and an estimate of the points that will eventually be redeemed. These factors determine the required liability for outstanding points. Our management and franchise agreements require that we be reimbursed currently for the costs of operating the program, including marketing, promotion, and communicating with, and performing member services for the Marriott Rewards members. Due to the requirement that hotels reimburse us for program operating costs as incurred, we receive and recognize the balance of the revenue from hotels in connection with the Marriott Rewards program at the time such costs are incurred and expensed. We recognize the component of revenue from program partners that corresponds to program maintenance services over the expected life of the points awarded. Upon the redemption of points, we recognize as revenue the amounts previously deferred, and recognize the corresponding expense relating to the cost of the awards redeemed. Prior to January 1, 2000, the amounts received by us in respect of the Marriott Rewards Program from managed, owned and leased hotels were recognized as revenue together with an associated expense at the time the points were 34 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) awarded. No revenues or expenses were recorded in respect of franchised hotels or program partners. The effect of the adoption of the change in accounting policy described above is to increase sales and expenses by $63 million in the year ended December 29, 2000. There was no impact on net income, and we expect the ongoing impact to our financial statements to be immaterial. The liability for the Marriott Rewards program was $554 million at December 29, 2000 and $433 million at December 31, 1999, of which $310 million and $289 million, respectively, are included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Cash and Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Valuation of Long-Lived Assets We review the carrying values of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If we expect an asset to generate cash flows less than the asset's carrying value at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, then a loss is recognized for the difference between the asset's carrying amount and its fair value. Investments We consolidate entities that we control due to holding a majority voting interest. We account for investments in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting when we exercise significant influence over the venture. If we do not exercise significant influence, we account for the investment using the cost method of accounting. We account for investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies using the equity method of accounting when we own more than a minimal investment. New Accounting Standards We will adopt FAS No. 142, "Goodwill and other Intangible Assets," in the first quarter of 2002. The new rules require that goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed annually for impairment. We estimate that adoption of FAS No. 142 will result in an annual increase in net income of approximately $30 million. In the first quarter of 2001, we adopted FAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which resulted in no material impact to our financial statements. In the fourth quarter of 2000, we adopted SAB No. 101, which was effective January 1, 2000. The implementation of SAB No. 101 did not have a material impact on annual or quarterly earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2000, we adopted FAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." The implementation of FAS No. 140 resulted in increased footnote disclosures, but did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements. In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities." We adopted SOP 98-5 in the first quarter of 1999 by expensing pre-opening costs for Company-owned lodging and senior living communities as incurred. The adoption of SOP 98-5 resulted in a pretax expense of $22 million in 1999. RELATIONSHIPS WITH MAJOR CUSTOMERS In December 1998, Host Marriott Corporation (Host Marriott) reorganized its business operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT). In conjunction with its conversion to a REIT, Host Marriott spun off, in a taxable transaction, a new company called Crestline Capital Corporation (Crestline). As part of the Crestline spinoff, Host Marriott transferred to Crestline all of the senior living communities previously owned by Host Marriott, and Host Marriott entered into lease or sublease agreements with subsidiaries of Crestline for substantially 35 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) all of Host Marriott's lodging properties. Our lodging and senior living community management and franchise agreements with Host Marriott were also assigned to these Crestline subsidiaries. The lodging agreements now provide for us to manage the Marriott hotels, Ritz-Carlton hotels, Courtyard hotels and Residence Inn hotels leased by the lessee. Our consent is required for the lessee to take certain major actions relating to leased properties that we manage. Effective as of January 1, 2001, a Host Marriott taxable subsidiary acquired the lessee entities for the full-service hotels in the United States and took an assignment of the lessee entities' interests in the leases for the hotels in Canada. We recognized sales of $2,746 million, $2,553 million and $2,144 million and operating profit before corporate expenses and interest of $235 million, $221 million and $197 million during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, from lodging properties owned or leased by Host Marriott. Additionally, Host Marriott is a general partner in several unconsolidated partnerships that own lodging properties operated by us under long-term agreements. We recognized sales of $622 million, $562 million and $712 million and operating profit before corporate expenses and interest of $72 million, $64 million and $83 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, from the lodging properties owned by these unconsolidated partnerships. We also leased land to certain of these partnerships and recognized land rent income of $26 million in 2000 and $24 million in both 1999 and 1998. In December 2000, we acquired, through an unconsolidated joint venture (the Courtyard Joint Venture) with an affiliate of Host Marriott, 120 Courtyard by Marriott hotels. Prior to the formation of the Courtyard Joint Venture, Host Marriott was a general partner in the unconsolidated partnerships that owned the 120 Courtyard by Marriott hotels. Included above in amounts recognized from lodging properties owned by unconsolidated partnerships are sales of $345 million, $334 million and $295 million, operating profit before corporate expenses and interest of $53 million, $50 million and $53 million and land rent income of $19 million in 2000 and $18 million in both 1999 and 1998, related to the 120 Courtyard by Marriott hotels. We have provided Host Marriott with financing for a portion of the cost of acquiring properties to be operated or franchised by us, and may continue to provide financing to Host Marriott in the future. The outstanding principal balance of these loans was $9 million and $11 million at December 29, 2000, and at December 31, 1999, respectively, and we recognized $1 million, $1 million and $5 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, in interest and fee income under these credit agreements with Host Marriott. We have guaranteed the performance of Host Marriott and certain of its affiliates to lenders and other third parties. These guarantees were limited to $12 million at December 29, 2000. No payments have been made by us pursuant to these guarantees. We continue to have the right to purchase up to 20 percent of Host Marriott's outstanding common stock upon the occurrence of certain events generally involving a change of control of Host Marriott. This right expires 2017, and Host Marriott has granted an exception to the ownership limitations in its charter to permit full exercise of this right, subject to certain conditions related to ownership limitations applicable to REITs generally. We lease land to Host Marriott that had an aggregate book value of $222 million at December 29, 2000. This land has been pledged to secure debt of the lessees. We have agreed to defer receipt of rentals on this land, if necessary, to permit the lessees to meet their debt service requirements. 36 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) We are party to agreements which provide for us to manage the senior living communities owned by Crestline. We recognized sales of $185 million, $177 million and $173 million and operating profit before corporate expenses and interest of $3 million, $3 million and $5 million under these agreements during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. We are party to management agreements with entities owned by or affiliated with another hotel owner which provide for us to manage hotel properties owned or leased by those entities. We recognized sales of $557 million, $531 million and $560 million during 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively, from these properties.

(506) (427) ----------------- ----------------- $ 3,241 $ 2,845 ================= ================= We record property and equipment at cost, including interest, rent and real estate taxes incurred during development and construction. Interest capitalized as a cost of property and equipment totaled $52 million in 2000, $33 million in 1999 and $21 million in 1998. We capitalize the cost of improvements that extend the useful life of property and equipment when incurred. These capitalized costs may include structural costs, equipment, fixtures, floor and wall coverings and paint. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (three to 40 years). We amortize leasehold improvements over the shorter of the asset life or lease term. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS ExecuStay On February 17, 1999, we completed a cash tender offer for approximately 44 percent of the outstanding common stock of ExecuStay Corporation (ExecuStay), a leading provider of leased corporate apartments in the United States. On February 24, 1999, substantially all of the remaining common stock of ExecuStay was converted into nonvoting preferred stock of ExecuStay, which we acquired on March 26, 1999, for approximately 2.1 million shares of our Class A Common Stock. Our aggregate purchase price totaled $116 million inclusive of $63 million of our Class A common stock. Unaudited pro forma sales, net income and diluted earnings per share for 1998, calculated as if ExecuStay had been acquired at the beginning of that year, were $8,095 million, $390 million and $1.45, respectively. Unaudited pro forma sales, net income and diluted earnings per share for 1999, calculated as if ExecuStay had been acquired at the beginning of that year, were $8,762 million, $399 million and $1.50, respectively. The unaudited pro forma combined results of operations do not reflect our expected future results of operations. We consolidated the operating results of ExecuStay from February 24, 1999, and have accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. We are amortizing the resulting goodwill on a straight-line basis over 30 years. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. In 1995, we acquired a 49 percent beneficial ownership interest in The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., which owns the management agreements on the Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts, the licenses for the Ritz-Carlton trademarks and trade name, as well as miscellaneous assets. The investment was acquired for a total consideration 37 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) of approximately $200 million. On March 19, 1998, we increased our ownership interest in The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. to approximately 99 percent for additional consideration of approximately $90 million. Prior to March 19, 1998, we were entitled to a cumulative preferred return on invested capital which provided us with economic value significantly in excess of our ownership interest in The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company L.L.C. Under that preferred return, we received substantially all of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company L.L.C.'s operating cash flow from 1995 through our acquisition of the additional 50 percent interest in 1998. We expect to acquire the remaining one percent within the next several years. We accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. We allocated the purchase cost to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values. We amortize the resulting goodwill on a straight-line basis over 40 years. We amortize the amounts allocated to management agreements on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the agreements. Prior to March 19, 1998, we accounted for our investment in The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. using the equity method of accounting. The pro forma results for 1998, assuming The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company L.L.C. had been acquired at the beginning of that year, would not be materially different from the reported results. Dispositions In the fourth quarter of 2000 we sold land, at book value, for $46 million to a joint venture in which we hold a minority interest. The joint venture plans to build a resort hotel, which will be partially funded with up to $92 million of mezzanine financing to be provided by us. We have also provided the joint venture with a $45 million senior debt service guarantee. In 2000, we sold and leased back, under long-term, limited-recourse leases, three lodging properties and one senior living community for an aggregate purchase price of $118 million. We agreed to pay a security deposit of $3 million for the lodging properties, which will be refunded at the end of the leases. The sales price exceeded the net book value by $4 million, which is being recognized as a reduction of rent expense over the 15-year initial lease terms. In 2000, we agreed to sell 23 lodging properties for $519 million in cash. We will continue to operate the hotels under long-term management agreements. As of December 29, 2000, sales of 17 of those properties had been completed for $461 million, resulting in pretax gains of $27 million. Fourteen of the seventeen properties are accounted for under the full accrual method in accordance with FAS No. 66. The buyers did not make adequate minimum initial investments in the remaining three properties, which we accounted for under the cost recovery method. The sale of four of the seventeen properties was to a joint venture in which we have a minority interest. Where the full accrual method applied, we recognized profit proportionate to the outside interests in the joint venture at the date of sale. We recognized $9 million of the net gains in 2000, and will recognize the remainder in subsequent years provided certain contingencies in the sales contracts expire. Unaffiliated third-party tenants will lease 13 of the properties from the buyers. In 2000, one of these tenants replaced us as the tenant on nine other properties sold and leased back by us in 1997 and 1998. We now manage these nine previously leased properties under long-term management agreements, and gains on the sale of these properties of $15 million were recognized as our leases were cancelled throughout 2000. In connection with the sale of four of the properties, we provided $39 million of mezzanine funding and agreed to provide the buyer with up to $161 million of additional loans to finance future acquisitions of Marriott-branded hotels. We also acquired a minority interest in the joint venture that purchased the four hotels. On April 28, 2000, we sold 14 senior living communities for cash proceeds of $194 million. We simultaneously entered into long-term management agreements for the communities with a third-party tenant, which leases the communities from the buyer. In connection with the sale we provided a credit facility to the buyer to be used, if necessary, to meet its debt service requirements. The buyer's obligation to repay us under the facility is guaranteed by an unaffiliated third party. We also extended a limited credit facility to the tenant to cover operating shortfalls, if any. We accounted for the sale under the cost recovery method, and will recognize the resulting gain when the credit facilities expire. In 1999, we sold an 89 percent interest in one hotel, and concurrently signed a long-term lease on the property. We are accounting for this transaction under the financing method, and the sales proceeds of $58 million are reflected as long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. 38 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) In 1999, we agreed to sell and leaseback, under long-term, limited-recourse leases, four hotels for approximately $59 million in cash. At the same time, we agreed to pay security deposits of $2 million, which will be refunded at the end of the leases. As of December 29, 2000, all of the properties had been sold, resulting in a sales price that exceeded the net book value by $4 million, which we will recognize as a reduction of rent expense over the 15-year initial lease terms. We can renew the leases on all four hotels at our option. During 1999, we sold four hotels and three senior living communities for $55 million and $52 million, respectively, resulting in pretax gains of $10 million. We recognized $2 million of the gain in both 2000 and 1999, and the balance will be recognized provided certain contingencies in the sales contracts expire. We operate these hotels under long-term management agreements. On December 29, 1998, we agreed to sell and leaseback, under long-term, limited-recourse leases, 17 hotels for approximately $202 million in cash. At the same time, we agreed to pay security deposits of $21 million, which will be refunded at the end of the leases. As of December 31, 1999, all of the properties had been sold, resulting in a sales price that exceeded the net book value by $19 million, which is being recognized as a reduction of rent expense over the 15-year initial lease terms. During 1998, we agreed to sell, subject to long-term management agreements, eight lodging properties and 11 senior living communities for consideration of $183 million and $178 million, respectively. As of December 31, 1999, sales of all of these properties had been completed, resulting in pretax gains of $69 million. We recognized $8 million, $21 million and $12 million of these gains in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The balance will be recognized provided certain contingencies in the sales contracts expire. In connection with the long-term, limited-recourse leases described above, Marriott International, Inc. has guaranteed the lease obligations of the tenants, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Marriott International, Inc., for a limited period of time (generally three to five years). After the guarantees expire, the lease obligations become non-recourse to Marriott International, Inc. In sales transactions where we retain a management contract, the terms and conditions of the management contract are comparable to the terms and conditions of the management agreements obtained directly with third party owners in competitive bid processes. ASSET SECURITIZATIONS We periodically sell, with limited recourse, through qualified special purpose entities ("SPEs"), notes receivable originated by Marriott Vacation Club International in connection with the sale of timeshare intervals. We continue to service the notes and transfer all proceeds collected to the SPEs. We retain servicing assets and beneficial interests in the securitizations in the form of interest-only strips. The beneficial interests are limited to the present value of cash available after paying financing expenses, program fees, and absorbing credit losses. Gains from the sales of notes receivable totaled $22 million in 2000, $29 million in 1999, and $26 million in 1998 and are included in other sales in the consolidated statement of income. At the date of securitization and at the end of each reporting period, we estimate the fair value of the interest-only strips and servicing assets using a discounted cash flow model. These transactions utilize interest rate swaps to protect the net interest margin associated with the beneficial interest, and the interest-only strips are treated as "Available for Sale" securities under the provisions of FAS No. 115, "Accounting for certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," with changes in fair values reported through other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the interest-only strips at the time of securitization and at the end of each reporting period during the year ended December 29, 2000, were as follows: average discount rate of 7.82 percent; average expected annual prepayments, including defaults, of 12.72 percent; and expected weighted average life of prepayable notes receivable of 86 months. Our key assumptions are based on experience. To date, actual results have not materially affected the carrying value of the beneficial interests. Cash flows between us and third-party purchasers during the year ended December 29, 2000, were as follows: net proceeds to us from new securitizations of $144 million, repurchases by us of delinquent loans (over 150 days 39 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) overdue) of $12 million, servicing fees received by us of $2 million and cash flows received on retained interests of $18 million. On December 12, 2000, we repurchased notes receivable with a principal balance of $359 million and immediately sold those notes, along with $19 million of additional notes, in a $378 million securitization to an investor group. Net proceeds from these transactions of $16 million are included in the net proceeds from securitizations of $144 million disclosed above. We realized a gain of $3 million, primarily associated with the $19 million of additional notes sold, which is included in the $22 million gain on the sales of notes receivable for fiscal year 2000 disclosed above. At December 29, 2000, $439 million of principal remains outstanding in all securitizations in which we have a retained interest-only strip. Delinquencies of more than 90 days at December 29, 2000, amounted to $1 million. Loans repurchased by the Company, net of obligors subsequently curing delinquencies, during the year ended December 29, 2000, amounted to $7 million. We have been able to resell timeshare units underlying repurchased loans without incurring material losses. We have completed a stress test on the net present value of the interest-only strips and the servicing assets with the objective of measuring the change in value associated with independent changes in individual key variables. The methodology used applied unfavorable changes that would be considered statistically significant for the key variables of prepayment rate, discount rate, and weighted average remaining term. The net present value of the interest-only strips and servicing assets was $72 million at December 29, 2000, before any stress test changes were applied. An increase of 100 basis points in the prepayment rate would decrease the year-end valuation by $2 million, or two percent, and an increase of 200 basis points in the prepayment rate would decrease the year-end valuation by $3 million, or four percent. An increase of 100 basis points in the discount rate would decrease the year-end valuation by $1 million, or two percent, and an increase of 200 basis points in the discount rate would decrease the year-end valuation by $3 million, or four percent. A decline of two months in the weighted average remaining term would decrease the year-end valuation by $1 million, or two percent, and a decline of four months in the weighted average remaining term would decrease the year-end valuation by $2 million, or four percent.

Intangible amortization expense totaled $64 million in 2000, $62 million in 1999 and $54 million in 1998. In 1996, MDS became the exclusive provider of distribution services to Boston Chicken, Inc. (BCI). On October 5, 1998, BCI and its Boston Market-controlled subsidiaries filed voluntary bankruptcy petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Phoenix (the Court). In December 1999, McDonald's Corporation (McDonald's) announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to purchase the majority of the assets of BCI subject to confirmation of the pending BCI plan of reorganization, including Court approval. In March 2000, MDS entered into an agreement with McDonald's providing for continuation of distribution services to Boston Market restaurants. Because the existing distribution contract was terminated upon confirmation of the pending reorganization, MDS wrote off the unamortized balance of the existing investment, resulting in a $15 million pretax charge in the first quarter of 2000. In June 2000, McDonald's completed its acquisition of Boston Market. MDS is now providing distribution services under the new contract with McDonald's. 40 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Eight hundred million shares of our Class A Common Stock with a par value of $.01 per share are authorized. Ten million shares of preferred stock, without par value, are authorized, with none issued. On March 27, 1998, our Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan under which one preferred stock purchase right was distributed for each share of our Class A Common Stock. Each right entitles the holder to buy 1/1000th of a share of a newly issued series of junior participating preferred stock of the Company at an exercise price of $175. The rights will be exercisable 10 days after a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of our Class A Common Stock, or begins a tender or exchange for 30 percent or more of our Class A Common Stock. Shares owned by a person or group on March 27, 1998, and held continuously thereafter are exempt for purposes of determining beneficial ownership under the rights plan. The rights are nonvoting and will expire on the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the shareholder rights plan, unless exercised or previously redeemed by us for $.01 each. If we are involved in a merger or certain other business combinations not approved by the Board of Directors, each right entitles its holder, other than the acquiring person or group, to purchase common stock of either the Company or the acquirer having a value of twice the exercise price of the right. As of December 29, 2000, we had been authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase an additional 19.6 million shares of our Class A Common Stock. 41 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) During the second quarter of 2000 we established an employee stock ownership plan (the ESOP) solely to fund employer contributions to the profit sharing plan. The ESOP acquired 100,000 shares of special-purpose Company convertible preferred stock (ESOP Preferred Stock) for $1 billion. The ESOP Preferred Stock has a stated value and liquidation preference of $10,000 per share, pays a quarterly dividend of one percent of the stated value, and is convertible into our Class A Common Stock at any time based on the amount of our contributions to the ESOP and the market price of the common stock on the conversion date, subject to certain caps and a floor price. We hold a note from the ESOP, which is eliminated upon consolidation, for the purchase price of the ESOP Preferred Stock. The shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are pledged as collateral for the repayment of the ESOP's note, and those shares are released from the pledge as principal on the note is repaid. Shares of ESOP Preferred Stock released from the pledge may be redeemed for cash based on the value of the common stock into which those shares may be converted. Principal and interest payments on the ESOP's debt are expected to be forgiven periodically to fund contributions to the ESOP and release shares of ESOP Preferred Stock. Unearned ESOP shares are reflected within shareholders' equity and are amortized as shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are released and cash is allocated to employees' accounts.

We have made no provision for U.S. income taxes, or additional foreign taxes, on the cumulative unremitted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries ($186 million as of December 29, 2000) because we consider these earnings to be permanently invested. These earnings could become subject to additional taxes if remitted as dividends, loaned to us or a U.S. affiliate, or if we sell our interests in the affiliates. We cannot practically estimate the amount of additional taxes that might be payable on the unremitted earnings. 42 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.

As part of the Spinoff, we entered into a tax sharing agreement with SMS, which reflects each party's rights and obligations with respect to deficiencies and refunds, if any, of federal, state or other taxes relating to the business of Old Marriott and the Company prior to the Spinoff. During periods prior to the Spinoff, we were included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Old Marriott. The income tax provision reflects the portion of Old Marriott's historical income tax provision attributable to our operations. We believe that the income tax provision, as reflected, is comparable to what the income tax provision would have been if we had filed a separate return during the periods presented. 43 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.

In April 1999, January 2000 and January 2001, we filed "universal shelf" registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the amount of $500 million, $300 million and $300 million, respectively. As of January 30, 2001, we had offered and sold to the public $600 million of debt securities under these registration statements, leaving a balance of $500 million available for future offerings. 44 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) In January 2001, we issued, through a private placement, $300 million of seven percent Series E Notes due 2008, and received net proceeds of $297 million. We have agreed to promptly make and complete a registered exchange offer for these notes and, if required, to implement a resale shelf registration statement. If we fail to do so on a timely basis, we will pay additional interest to the holders of these notes. In March 2000, we sold $300 million principal amount of 8-1/8 percent Series D Notes, which mature in 2005, in a public offering made under our shelf registration statements. We received net proceeds of approximately $298 million from the offering, after paying underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. In September 1999, we sold $300 million principal amount of 7-7/8 percent Series C Notes, which mature in 2009, in a public offering made under our shelf registration statement. We received net proceeds of approximately $296 million from this offering, after paying underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. In November 1998, we sold, through a private placement, $400 million of unsecured senior notes (Series A and B Notes). Proceeds net of discounts totaled $396 million. On April 23, 1999, we commenced a registered exchange offer to exchange the privately placed Series A and B Notes for publicly registered new notes on substantially identical terms. All of the privately placed Series A and B Notes were tendered for exchange, and new notes were issued to the holders on May 31, 1999. In March 1998 and February 1999, respectively, we entered into $1.5 billion and $500 million multicurrency revolving credit facilities (the Facilities) each with terms of five years. Borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread, based on our public debt rating. Additionally, annual fees are paid on the Facilities at a rate also based on our public debt rating. Commercial paper, supported by the Facilities, is classified as long-term debt based on our ability and intent to refinance it on a long-term basis. We are in compliance with covenants in our loan agreements, which require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and minimum shareholders' equity, and also include, among other things, limitations on additional indebtedness and the pledging of assets. The 2000 statement of cash flows excludes $79 million of financing and joint venture investments made by us in connection with asset sales. The 1999 statement of cash flows excludes $215 million of convertible subordinated debt that was converted to equity in November 1999, $54 million of debt that we assumed during 1999, and $15 million of notes receivable we received in a 1999 asset sale that we subsequently sold for cash. The 1998 statement of cash flows excludes $31 million of notes receivable forgiven as part consideration for the 1998 acquisition of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., and $12 million of long-term debt assumed in 1998. Aggregate debt maturities are: 2001 - $42 million; 2002 - $14 million; 2003 - $834 million; 2004 - $220 million; 2005 - $515 million; and $433 million thereafter. Cash paid for interest was $125 million in 2000, $63 million in 1999 and $23 million in 1998. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBT On March 25, 1996, Old Marriott issued $540 million (principal amount at maturity) of zero coupon convertible subordinated debt in the form of LYONs due 2011. The LYONs were issued and recorded at a discount representing a yield to maturity of 4.25 percent. Accretion was recorded as interest expense and an increase to the carrying value. Gross proceeds from the LYONs issuance were $288 million. Upon consummation of the Spinoff, we assumed the LYONs, and SMS assumed a nine percent share of the LYONs obligation based on the relative equity values of SMS and the Company at the Spinoff. 45 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) The LYONs were redeemable by us at any time on or after March 25, 1999, for cash equal to the issue price plus accrued original issue discount. On October 7, 1999, we delivered a mandatory redemption notice to the holders of the LYONs indicating our plan to redeem them on November 8, 1999, for $619.65 in cash per LYON. Holders of 347,000 LYONs elected to convert each LYON into 17.52 shares of our Class A Common Stock and 2.19 shares of SMS common stock prior to the close of business on November 8, 1999. The aggregate redemption payment for the remaining 193,000 LYONs totaled $120 million. Pursuant to the LYONs Allocation Agreement entered into with SMS as part of the Spinoff, SMS funded nine percent of the aggregate LYONs redemption payment. We funded the redemption payment with proceeds from commercial paper borrowings. Unamortized deferred financing costs of $2 million relating to the LYONs that were redeemed were recognized as interest expense in 1999. EARNINGS PER SHARE For periods prior to the Spinoff, the earnings per share calculations are pro forma, and the number of weighted average shares outstanding and the effect of dilutive securities are based upon the weighted average number of Old Marriott shares outstanding, and the Old Marriott effect of dilutive securities for the applicable period, adjusted (1) for the distribution ratio in the Spinoff of one share of our Common Stock and one share of our Class A Common Stock for every share of Old Marriott common stock and (2) to reflect the conversion of our Common Stock into our Class A Common Stock on May 21, 1998. The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the earnings and number of shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations (in millions, except per share amounts). 2000 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- ---------- Computation of Basic Earnings Per Share Net income .................................... $ 479 $ 400 $ 390 Weighted average shares outstanding ........... 241.0 247.5 249.8 ---------- ---------- ---------- Basic Earnings Per Share ...................... $ 1.99 $ 1.62 $ 1.56 ========== ========== ========== Computation of Diluted Earnings Per Share Net income .................................... $ 479 $ 400 $ 390 After-tax interest expense on convertible subordinated debt ........................... - 7 8 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income for diluted earnings per share ..... $ 479 $ 407 $ 398 ========== ========== ========== Weighted average shares outstanding ........... 241.0 247.5 249.8 Effect of Dilutive Securities Employee stock purchase plan ................ 0.1 0.2 - Employee stock option plan .................. 7.5 8.7 8.1 Deferred stock incentive plan ............... 5.4 5.4 5.7 Convertible subordinated debt ................. - 8.0 9.5 ---------- ---------- ---------- Shares for diluted earnings per share ......... 254.0 269.8 273.1 ========== ========== ========== Diluted Earnings Per Share .................... $ 1.89 $ 1.51 $ 1.46 ========== ========== ========== We compute the effect of dilutive securities using the treasury stock method and average market prices during the period. For periods prior to November 8, 1999, when all of our convertible subordinated debt was redeemed or converted, we used the if-converted method for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share. 46 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.

(2,691) --------------- Balance at end of year ....................... $ - =============== EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS In connection with the Spinoff, we issued stock options, deferred shares and restricted shares with the same value as the respective Old Marriott awards as of the Spinoff under our 1998 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan (Comprehensive Plan). Under the Comprehensive Plan, we may award to participating employees (1) options to purchase our Class A Common Stock (Stock Option Program and Supplemental Executive Stock Option awards), (2) deferred shares of our Class A Common Stock and (3) restricted shares of our Class A Common Stock. In addition we have an employee stock purchase plan (Stock Purchase Plan). In accordance with the provisions of Opinion No. 25 of the Accounting Principles Board, we recognize no compensation cost for the Stock Option Program, the Supplemental Executive Stock Option awards or the Stock Purchase Plan. Deferred shares granted to officers and key employees under the Comprehensive Plan generally vest over 10 years in annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. Certain employees may elect to defer receipt of shares until termination or retirement. We accrue compensation expense for the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, less estimated forfeitures. We granted 0.9 million deferred shares during 2000. Compensation cost recognized during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $18 million, $15 million and $12 million, respectively. Restricted shares under the Comprehensive Plan are issued to officers and key employees and distributed over a number of years in annual installments, subject to certain prescribed conditions including continued employment. We recognize compensation expense for the restricted shares over the restriction period equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance. We awarded 0.1 million restricted shares under this plan during 2000. We recognized compensation cost of $4 million, $4 million and $3 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Under the Stock Purchase Plan, eligible employees may purchase our Class A Common Stock through payroll deductions at the lower of the market value at the beginning or end of each plan year. Employee stock options may be granted to officers and key employees at exercise prices equal to the market price of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. Nonqualified options expire 10 years after the date of grant, except those issued from 1990 through 2000, which expire 15 years after the date of the grant. Most options under the Stock Option Program are exercisable in cumulative installments of one quarter at the end of each of the first four years following the date of grant. In February 1997, 2.1 million Supplemental Executive Stock Option awards were awarded to certain of our officers. The options vest after eight years but could vest earlier if our stock price meets certain performance criteria. These options have an exercise price of $25 and 0.2 million of them were forfeited during 1998. None of them were exercised during 2000, 1999 or 1998 and 1.9 million remained outstanding at December 29, 2000. The annual grant of options under the Comprehensive Plan, which occurred in November 1999 and previous years, was moved to February, commencing in 2001. 47 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) For the purposes of the following disclosures required by FAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the fair value of each option granted during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $15, $14 and $11, respectively. We estimated the fair value of each option granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, using the assumptions noted in the following table: 2000 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- ---------- Annual dividends ........................ $ 24 $ 22 $ 20 Expected volatility ..................... 30 % 29 % 28 % Risk-free interest rate ................. 5.8 % 6.7 % 5.8 % Expected life (in years) ................ 7 7 7 Pro forma compensation cost for the Stock Option Program, the Supplemental Executive Stock Option awards and employee purchases pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan subsequent to December 30, 1994, recognized in accordance with FAS No. 123, would reduce our net income as follows (in millions, except per share amounts): 2000 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income as reported .................. $ 479 $ 400 $ 390 Pro forma net income .................... $ 435 $ 364 $ 366 Diluted earnings per share as reported .. $ 1.89 $ 1.51 $ 1.46 Pro forma diluted earnings per share .... $ 1.71 $ 1.38 $ 1.38 A summary of our Stock Option Program activity during 2000, 1999 and 1998 is presented below: Number of Weighted options average exercise (in millions) price ------------- ---------------- Outstanding at March 27, 1998 ......... - $ - New awards at the Spinoff ........ 27.3 16 Granted during the year .......... 6.4 28 Exercised during the year ........

At December 29, 2000, 59.4 million shares were reserved under the Comprehensive Plan (including 30.0 million shares under the Stock Option Program and 1.9 million shares of the Supplemental Executive Stock Option awards) and 3.0 million shares were reserved under the Stock Purchase Plan. 48 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.

We determine valuations for long-term debt and other long-term liabilities based on quoted market prices or expected future payments discounted at risk adjusted rates. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES We issue guarantees to lenders and other third parties in connection with financing transactions and other obligations. These guarantees were limited, in the aggregate, to $256 million at December 29, 2000, including guarantees involving major customers. We are currently unable to estimate the impact that the recent terrorist attacks on New York and Washington could have on the extent to which we may fund under these guarantees. In addition, we have made physical completion guarantees relating to two hotel properties with minimal expected funding. As of December 29, 2000, we had extended approximately $829 million of loan commitments to owners of lodging properties and senior living communities under which we expect to fund approximately $332 million by December 28, 2001, and $573 million in total. Letters of credit outstanding on our behalf at December 29, 2000, totaled $73 million, the majority of which related to our self-insurance programs. At December 29, 2000, we had repurchase obligations of $41 million related to notes receivable from timeshare interval purchasers, which have been sold with limited recourse. New World Development and another affiliate of Dr. Henry Cheng Kar-Shun, a director of the Company, have severally indemnified us for guarantees by us of leases with minimum annual payments of approximately $59 million. 49 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) On February 23, 2000, we entered into an agreement, which was subsequently embodied in a definitive agreement executed on March 9, 2000, to resolve the litigation described below involving certain limited partnerships formed in the mid- to late 1980s. The agreement was reached with lead counsel to the plaintiffs in the lawsuits described below, and with the special litigation committee appointed by the general partner of two of the partnerships, Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership (CBM I) and Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership (CBM II). The agreement was amended on September 23, 2000, to increase the amount that CBM I settlement class members were to receive after deduction of court-awarded attorneys' fees and expenses and to provide that the defendants, including the Company, would pay a portion of the attorneys' fees and expenses of the CBM I settlement class. Under the agreement, we acquired, through an unconsolidated joint venture with affiliates of Host Marriott Corporation (Host Marriott), substantially all of the limited partners' interests in CBM I and CBM II. These partnerships own 120 Courtyard by Marriott hotels. We continue to manage the 120 hotels under long-term agreements. The joint venture was financed with equity contributed in equal shares by us and an affiliate of Host Marriott and approximately $200 million in mezzanine debt provided by us. Our total investment in the joint venture, including the mezzanine debt, is approximately $300 million. Final court approval of the CBM I and CBM II settlements was granted on October 24, 2000, and became effective on December 8, 2000. The agreement also provided for the resolution of litigation with respect to four other limited partnerships. On September 28, 2000, the court entered a final order with respect to those partnerships, and on that same date, we and Host Marriott each paid into escrow approximately $31 million for payment to the plaintiffs in the Texas Multi-Partnership lawsuit described below in exchange for dismissal of the complaints and full releases. We recorded a pretax charge of $39 million, which was included in corporate expenses in the fourth quarter of 1999, to reflect the settlement transactions. Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership Litigation On June 7, 1996, a group of partners in CBM II filed a lawsuit against Host Marriott, the Company and others, Whitey Ford, et al. v. Host Marriott Corporation, et al., in the 285/th/ Judicial District Court of Bexar County, Texas, alleging breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, tortious interference, violation of the Texas Free Enterprise and Antitrust Act of 1983 and conspiracy in connection with the formation, operation and management of CBM II and its hotels. The plaintiffs sought unspecified damages. On January 29, 1998, two other limited partners, A.R. Milkes and D.R. Burklew, filed a petition in intervention seeking to convert the lawsuit into a class action, and a class was certified. In March 1999, Palm Investors, L.L.C., the assignee of a number of limited partnership units acquired through various tender offers, and Equity Resource, an assignee of a number of limited partnership units, through various of its funds, filed pleas in intervention, which among other things added additional claims relating to the 1993 split of Marriott Corporation and to the 1995 refinancing of CBM 50 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) II's indebtedness. On August 17, 1999, the general partner of CBM II appointed an independent special litigation committee to investigate the derivative claims described above and to recommend to the general partner whether it was in the best interests of CBM II for the derivative litigation to proceed. The general partner agreed to adopt the recommendation of the committee. Under Delaware law, the recommendation of a duly appointed independent litigation committee is binding on the general partner and the limited partners. Following certain adjustments to the underlying complaints, including the assertion as derivative claims some of the claims previously filed as individual claims, a final amended class action complaint was filed on January 6, 2000. The lawsuit was dismissed as part of the settlement described above. Texas Multi-Partnership Lawsuits On March 16, 1998, limited partners in several limited partnerships sponsored by Host Marriott or its subsidiaries filed a lawsuit, Robert M. Haas, Sr. and ----------------------- Irwin Randolph Joint Tenants, et al. v. Marriott International, Inc., et al., ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Case No. 98-CI-04092, in the 57/th/ Judicial District Court of Bexar County, Texas, alleging that the defendants conspired to sell hotels to the partnerships for inflated prices and that they charged the partnerships excessive management fees to operate the partnerships' hotels. The plaintiffs further alleged that the defendants committed fraud, breached fiduciary duties and violated the provisions of various contracts. A Marriott International subsidiary manages each of the hotels involved and, as to some properties, the Company is the ground lessor and collects rent. The Company, several Marriott subsidiaries and J.W. Marriott, Jr. were among the several named defendants. This lawsuit was resolved as part of the settlement described above. BUSINESS SEGMENTS We are a diversified hospitality company with operations in six business segments: Full Service Lodging, which includes Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites, The Ritz-Carlton Hotels, Renaissance Hotels, Resorts and Suites, Ramada International and the fees we receive for the use of the Ramada name in the United States and Canada; Select Service Lodging, which includes Courtyard, Fairfield Inn and SpringHill Suites; Extended Stay Lodging, which includes Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, ExecuStay and Marriott Executive Apartments; Timeshare, which includes the operation, ownership, development and marketing of Marriott's timeshare properties under the Marriott, Ritz-Carlton Club and Horizons brands; Senior Living Services, which includes the operation, ownership and development of senior living communities; and Distribution Services, which includes our wholesale food distribution business. We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on operating profit before corporate expenses and interest. We do not allocate income taxes at the segment level. We have aggregated the brands and businesses presented within each of our segments considering their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, distribution channels, and the regulatory business environment of the brands and operations within each segment. 2000 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- ----------- As revised As revised As revised ($ in millions) Sales Full Service ................. $ 5,520 $ 5,091 $ 4,784 Select Service ............... 901 788 700 Extended Stay ................ 668 537 319 Timeshare .................... 822 625 508 ----------- ----------- ----------- Total Lodging ............. 7,911 7,041 6,311 Senior Living Services ....... 669 559 479 Distribution Services ........ 1,500 1,139 1,178 ----------- ----------- ----------- $ 10,080 $ 8,739 $ 7,968 =========== =========== =========== 51 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Contingent Liabilities On March 30, 2001, Green Isle Partners, Ltd., S.E. (Green Isle) filed a 63- page complaint in Federal district court in Delaware against The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company of Puerto Rico, Inc. (Ritz-Carlton Puerto Rico), Marriott International, Inc., Marriott Distribution Services, Inc., Marriott International Capital Corp. and Avendra L.L.C. (Green ----- Isle Partners, Ltd. S.E., v. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., et al, -------------------------------------------------------------------------- civil action no. 01-202). Ritz-Carlton Puerto Rico manages The Ritz-Carlton San Juan Hotel, Spa and Casino located in San Juan, Puerto Rico under an operating agreement with Green Isle dated December 15, 1995 (the Operating Agreement). The claim asserts 11 causes of action: three Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) claims, together with claims based on the Robinson-Patman Act, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty, breach of implied duties of good faith and fair dealing, common law fraud and intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, and fiduciary accounting. The complaint does not request termination of the Operating Agreement. The claim includes allegations of: (i) national, non-competitive contracts and attendant kick-back schemes; (ii) concealing transactions with affiliates; (iii) false entries in the books and manipulation of accounts payable and receivable; (iv) excessive compensation schemes and fraudulent expense accounts; (v) charges of prohibited overhead costs to the project; (vi) charges of prohibited procurement costs; (vii) inflation of Group Service Expense; (viii) the use of prohibited or falsified revenues; (ix) attempts to oust Green Isle from ownership; (x) creating a financial crisis and then attempting to exploit it by seeking an economically oppressive contract in connection with a loan; (xi) providing incorrect cash flow figures and failing to appropriately reveal and explain revised cash flow figures. The complaint seeks as damages the $140 million, which Green Isle claims to have invested in the hotel (which includes $85 million in third party debt), which the plaintiffs seek to treble to $420 million under RICO and the Robinson-Patman Act. On May 25, 2001, defendants moved to dismiss the complaint or, alternatively, to stay or transfer. Briefing of the motion is complete but oral argument has not yet been scheduled. On June 25, 2001, Green Isle filed its Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition in the Southern District of Florida. Although we believe that the lawsuit described above is without merit, and we intend to vigorously defend against the claims being made against us, we cannot assure you as to the outcome of this lawsuit nor can we currently estimate the range of any potential loss to the Company. Convertible Debt On May 8, 2001 we received cash proceeds of $405 million from the sale of zero-coupon convertible senior notes due 2021, known as LYONs. The LYONs are convertible into approximately 6.4 million shares of our Class A common stock and will carry a yield to maturity of 0.75 percent. We may not redeem the LYONs prior to May 8, 2004, but may at the option of the holders be required to purchase the LYONs at their accreted value on May 8 of each of 2002, 2004, 2011 and 2016. We may choose to pay the purchase price for redemptions or repurchases in cash and/or shares of our Class A Common Stock. We are amortizing the issuance costs of the LYONs into interest expense over the one-year period ending May 8, 2002. The LYONs are classified as long-term based on our ability and intent to refinance the obligation with long-term debt if we are required to repurchase the LYONs. Dispositions In the first quarter of 2001, we closed on sales of eight lodging properties and one senior living community for cash proceeds of $241 million, resulting in gains of $5 million. We recognized $4 million of the gain and the balance will be recognized as certain contingencies in the sales contracts expire. We will continue to operate seven of these hotels under long-term management agreements. In the second quarter of 2001, we sold four lodging properties for $102 million. We will continue to operate the hotels under long-term management agreements. In the second quarter of 2001, in connection with the sale, the buyer terminated lease agreements for three properties sold and leased back to us in 1997 and 1998. In the third quarter of 2001, an additional six lease agreements were terminated. We now manage these nine previously leased properties under long-term management agreements, and gains on the sale of these properties of $5 million were recognized in both the second quarter and third quarter as a result of the lease cancellations. In the second quarter of 2001 we sold land, at book value, for $31 million to a joint venture which plans to build two resort hotels in Orlando, Florida, for $547 million. We will provide development services and have guaranteed completion of the project. The initial owners of the venture have the right to sell 20 percent of the venture's equity to us upon the opening of the hotels. At opening we also expect to hold approximately $120 million in mezzanine loans that we have agreed to advance to the joint venture. We have provided the venture with additional credit facilities for certain amounts due under the first mortgage loan and to provide for limited minimum returns to the equity investors in the early years of the project, although we expect fundings under such support to be less than $5 million. In the third quarter of 2001, we sold two lodging properties, and some undeveloped land, for cash proceeds of $146 million, resulting in gains of $7 million. We recognized $1 million of the gain and the balance will be recognized as certain contingencies in the sales contracts expire. We will continue to operate the two hotels under long-term management agreements. 53 September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks The Company has been adversely affected in the aftermath of the recent terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. Since the attacks, our hotels have experienced significant short-term declines in occupancy compared to the prior year. At present, it is not possible to predict either the severity or duration of such declines in the medium- or long-term, or the potential impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, as a result of the significant short-term declines in occupancy, the Company has taken steps to reduce costs, including reductions in staff. The Company is undertaking a comprehensive analysis of its cost structure including, among other things, overall staffing levels and facilities related costs. Furthermore, the Company is evaluating hotel financial performance subsequent to September 11, 2001 and its impact on the Company's investments and contingent obligations. Declines in hotel profitability reduce management and franchise fees and could give rise to fundings or losses under investments and contingent obligations that we have made in connection with hotels that we manage or franchise. The outcome of the Company's analysis may result in charges to operations and potentially a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cashflows. 54 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.
