Supplemental disclosure of noncash investing and financing activities:

 

During the first quarters of 2004 and 2003, we issued approximately 600,000 shares and 200,000 shares, respectively, of common stock upon the conversion of operating partnership units of Host Marriott, L.P. held by minority partners valued at approximately $7 million and $1 million, respectively.

1.     Organization

 

Host Marriott Corporation, a Maryland corporation operating through an umbrella partnership structure, is primarily the owner of hotel properties. We operate as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, with our operations conducted solely through Host Marriott, L.P., or the operating partnership, or Host LP, and its subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of the operating partnership and as of March 26, 2004, owned approximately 93% of the partnership interests in the operating partnership, which are referred to as OP units.

 

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 26, 2004 and the results of our operations and cash flows for quarter ended March 26, 2004 and March 28, 2003. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.

 

Certain reclassifications, primarily as a result of new accounting standards relating to the disposition of assets, have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

 

Reporting Periods

 

The results we report in our consolidated statement of operations are based on results reported to us by our hotel managers. These hotel managers use different reporting periods. Marriott International, Inc., the manager of the majority of our properties, uses a fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to December 31 and reports twelve weeks of operations for the first three quarters and sixteen or seventeen weeks for the fourth quarter of the year for its Marriott-managed hotels. In contrast, other managers of our hotels, such as Hyatt, report results on a monthly basis. In addition, Host Marriott, as a REIT, is required by tax laws to report results on the calendar year. As a result, we elected to adopt the reporting period used by Marriott International modified so that our fiscal year always ends on December 31 to comply with REIT rules. Our first three quarters of operations end on the same day as Marriott International but our fourth quarter ends on December 31.

 

Two consequences of the reporting cycle we have adopted are: (1) quarterly start dates will usually differ between years, except for the first quarter which always commences on January 1, and (2) our first and fourth quarters of operations and year-to-date operations may not include the same number of days as reflected in prior years. For example, the first quarter of 2004 ended on March 26 and the first quarter of 2003 ended on March 28. As a result, the first quarter of 2004 includes 86 days of operations, including February 29, 2004, while the first quarter of 2003 includes 87 days of operations.

 

In addition, for results reported by hotel managers using a monthly reporting period (approximately one-fourth of our full-service hotels), the month of operation that ends after our fiscal quarter-end is included in our results of operations in the following fiscal quarter. For these hotels, operations for the entire month of March are reported in our second fiscal quarter. Accordingly, our results of operations include results from hotel managers reporting results on a monthly basis as follows: first quarter (January, February), second quarter (March to May), third quarter (June to August), and fourth quarter (September to December). The first quarter of 2004 includes 60 days of operations for our monthly hotels compared to 59 days of operations for the first quarter of 2003 because there were 29 days in February 2004.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Principles of Consolidation

 

We consolidate entities (in the absence of other factors determining control) when we own over 50% of the voting shares of another company or, in the case of partnership investments, when we own a majority of the general partnership interest. The control factors we consider include the ability of minority shareholders or other partners to participate in or block management decisions. Additionally, if we determine that we are an owner in a variable interest entity within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Revised Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” and that our variable interest will absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns if they occur, or both, then we will consolidate the entity. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash includes reserves for debt service, real estate taxes, insurance, furniture and fixtures as well as cash collateral and excess cash flow deposits which are the result of mortgage debt agreement restrictions and provisions. As of March 26, 2004, restricted cash also includes the $484 million in net proceeds from the issuance of the $500 million of 3.25% exchangeable senior debentures of Host LP due April 15, 2024 (the Exchangeable Senior Debentures), as these funds were held by a trustee and were utilized, along with available cash, to redeem $494 million of our 77/8% Series B senior notes on April 15, 2004. See the discussion in footnote 4.

 

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation

 

We maintain two stock-based employee compensation plans. Prior to 2002, we accounted for those plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and applied it prospectively to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2002. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all of our outstanding and unvested awards in each period.
