Consistent with third party contractors, A&C provides these services for owners and franchisees of Marriott branded properties on a fee basis.

Competition - ----------- The Company encounters

We encounter strong competition both as a hotellodging operator and as a franchisor. There are over 500 hotelapproximately 600 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. Hotel managementManagement 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 1997, the majority2002, over two-thirds 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 hotel 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. The Company believesWe 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. The Company has approximately a six

Marriott Rewards and Marriott Miles programs, which reward frequent travelers with free stays at Marriott hotels or free travel on participating airlines. Marriott Rewards, introduced in the spring of 1997, is a multi-brand frequent guest program with over 18 million members, and replaced the Company's 14-year-old Honored Guest Awards program. In addition to the participation of sevennine participating Marriott brands and Marriott Vacation Club International,brands.

Management believesany of 22 participating airline programs. We believe that the frequent stay programs generateMarriott Rewards generates substantial repeat business that might otherwise go to competing hotels. The resort timesharing industry also is very competitive. Formerly dominated by real estate development companies and entrepreneurs, the industry has recently begun to attract well capitalized corporations with significant experience in the lodging and hospitality-related industries. The Company currently has about a six percent share of this rapidly growing industry's annual worldwide sales of about $6 billion. The Company competes by offering premium quality products at attractive locations to prospective timeshare buyers, many of whom are familiar with the Company's strong commitment to customer satisfaction through its hotel properties. Approximately 26 percent of the Company's ownership resort sales come from additional purchases by or referrals from existing owners.

Marriott Distribution Services - ------------------------------ Marriott Distribution Services (MDS) is

Prior to its discontinuance, MDS was a United States limited-line distributor of food and related supplies carrying an averageto Marriott businesses and unrelated third parties. In the third quarter of 3,000 product items per2002, we completed a strategic review of the distribution center. Thisservices business unit originally focused on purchasing, warehousing and distributing food and suppliesdecided to other Marriott businesses. In recent years, however, MDS has steadily increased its third- party business to about 65 percent of total sales volume in fiscal year 1997, compared to less than 15 percent in fiscal year 1988. MDS operated a nationwide network of 15 distribution centers asexit the business. As of January 2, 1998, including three centers opened during 1997. Leased3, 2003, through a combination of sale and transfer of nine facilities and the termination of all operations of four facilities, we have exited the distribution services business. Accordingly, we now report this business in discontinued operations.

Employee Relations

At January 3, 2003, we had approximately 144,000 employees. Approximately 7,500 employees were represented by labor unions. We believe relations with our employees are generally builtpositive.

Other Properties

In addition to the Company's specifications, and utilize a narrow aisle concept and technology to enhance productivity. MDS plans to pursue new business by leveraging its purchasing economies, quality assurance programs and operating systems. Competition - ----------- The Company encounters strong competitionproperties discussed above, we lease two office buildings with combined space of approximately 930,000 square feet in each of its Contract Services businesses. Marriott Senior Living Services competes mostly with local and regional providers of long-term health care and senior living services, although some national providersBethesda, Maryland, where we are emergingheadquartered.

We believe our properties are in the assisted living market. Marriott Senior Living Services is able to compete by operating well maintained facilities and by providing quality health care, food service and other services at reasonable prices. The reputation for service associatedgenerally good physical condition with the Marriott name is also attractive to residentsneed for only routine repairs and their families. Additionally, Marriott Senior Living Services has focused on developing relationships with professionals who often refer seniors to senior living communities, such as hospital discharge planners and ministers. By educating these groups on the assisted living concept, and familiarizing them with the Marriott product and associates, Marriott Senior Living Services generates a significant volume of referrals that helps its senior living communities to quickly achieve high, stabilized occupancy levels. MDS competes with numerous national, regional and local distribution companies in the $134 billion U.S. food distribution industry. MDS attracts clients by adopting competitive pricing policies and by maintaining one of the highest order fill rates in the industry. In addition, MDS uses its purchasing leverage and limited product lines to provide a favorable cost structure. 10 maintenance.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'SMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

                OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The following discussion presents an analysis of results of our operations of the Company for fiscal years ended January 2, 1998 (52 weeks), January 3, 1997 (53 weeks)2003, December 28, 2001 and December 29, 1995 (52 weeks). Comparable statistics are used throughout this report2000. Systemwide sales include sales from our franchised properties, in addition to our owned, leased and are based upon Company-operated U.S.managed properties. The Ramada International and New World brands do not have any U.S. properties. 1997

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Continuing Operations

2002 Compared to 1996. Net income2001

Income from continuing operations, net of taxes increased 2063 percent to $324$439 million in fiscal 1997, on a sales increase of 24and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations advanced 66 percent to $9$1.74. Income from continuing operations reflected $208 million of tax benefits associated with our Synthetic Fuel business and a $44 million gain on the sale of our investment in Interval International, offset by the $50 million charge to write-down the acquisition goodwill for ExecuStay and the decreased demand for hotels and executive apartments. The comparisons to 2001 reflected the $204 million pretax restructuring and other charges against continuing operations that we recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001.

Sales, which exclude sales from our discontinued Distribution Services and Senior Living Services businesses, increased 8 percent to $8.4 billion driven by contributionsin 2002 reflecting the sales for our new Synthetic Fuel business and revenue from new unit expansion, including acquisitions,lodging properties, partially offset by the decline in lodging demand. Systemwide sales, excluding sales from discontinued businesses, increased by 6 percent to $18.6 billion in 2002.

2001 Compared to 2000

Income and strong profit growth fordiluted earnings per share from continuing operations decreased 45 percent to $269 million and 46 percent to $1.05, respectively. Pretax restructuring and other charges totaling $204 million and lower lodging segment financial results, due to the Lodging segment.

2002 Compared to 2001

Marriott Lodging, which includes our Full-Service, Select-Service, Extended-Stay, and the net addition of 325 hotels (69,810 rooms), including the acquisition of Renaissance Hotel Group N.V. (RHG). This revenue growth resulted in higher base management and franchise fees. Revenue growth also contributed to higher house profits which resulted in higher incentive management fees. Profits for Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites increased in excess of 20 percent in fiscal 1997 on sales growth of seven percent, which reflects the addition of a net of two units (881 rooms) in the U.S. and a net of eight units (2,903 rooms) internationally. Comparable Company-operated U.S. hotels achieved seven percent higher sales due to REVPAR increases of nine percent resulting from room rate growth of nine percent to $129. These sales gains, coupled with profit margin improvements, generated substantially higher incentive management fees at many properties. Profits for international hotels also were higher, primarily because of contributions from new properties in 1996 and 1997. Ritz-CarltonTimeshare segments, reported an increase in average room rates of five percent to $185 and an increase in occupancy of four percentage points to 79 percent, resulting in a 10 percent increase in REVPAR. RHG, which is comprisedsegment financial results and 6 percent higher sales in 2002. Results reflect a $44 million pretax gain related to the sale of our investment in Interval International, increased revenue associated with new properties partially offset by lower fees due to the decline in demand for hotel rooms. Our revenues from base fees totaled $379 million, an increase of 2 percent. Franchise fees totaled $232 million, an increase of 5 percent and incentive management fees were $162 million, a decline of 20 percent. The $50 million write-down of acquisition goodwill associated with our executive housing business, ExecuStay, reduced Lodging results in 2002. The 2002 comparisons are also impacted by the $115 million restructuring costs and other charges recorded in 2001.

We consider Revenue per Available Room (REVPAR) to be a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period over period change in room revenues for comparable properties. We calculate REVPAR by dividing room sales for comparable properties by room nights available to guests for the period. 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 North American properties we operate. Statistics for Fairfield Inn and SpringHill Suites company-operated North American properties are not presented - since these brands only have a few properties that we operate, the information would not be meaningful (identified as nm in the tables below). Systemwide statistics include data from our franchised properties, in addition to our owned, leased and managed properties. Systemwide statistics are based on comparable worldwide units reflecting constant foreign exchange rates. Occupancy, average daily rate and REVPAR for each of our principal established brands are shown in the following table.

Across our Lodging brands, REVPAR for comparable company-operated North American properties declined by an average of 5.7 percent in 2002. Average room rates for these hotels decreased 4.9 percent and occupancy declined slightly to 70.1 percent.

International Lodging reported an increase in the results of operations, reflecting the impact of the Renaissance, New Worldincrease in travel in Asia and Ramada International brands, contributed $594the United Kingdom. The favorable comparison is also impacted by the restructuring and other charges recorded in 2001.

Marriott Vacation Club International. Financial results increased 24 percent, reflecting a 5 percent increase in contract sales and note sale gains in 2002 of $60 million compared to $40 million in 2001, a gain of $44 million related to the sale of our investment in Interval International, partially offset by lower development profits and higher depreciation from recently added systems for customer support.

Lodging Development

Marriott Lodging opened 188 properties totaling over 31,000 rooms across its brands in 2002, while 25 hotels (approximately 4,700 rooms) exited the system. Highlights of the year included:

Thirty-five properties (6,700 rooms), 21 percent of our total room additions for the year, were conversions from other brands.

Approximately 25 percent of new rooms opened were outside the United States.

We added 112 properties (14,500 rooms) to our Select-Service and Extended-Stay Brands.

The opening of new Marriott Vacation Club International properties in France (Disneyland Paris), Spain and a Ritz-Carlton Club in Florida.

At year-end 2002, we had 300 hotel properties and more than 50,000 rooms under construction, awaiting conversion, or approved for development. We expect to open over 150 hotels and timesharing resorts (25,000 - 30,000 rooms) in 2003. 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.

2001 Compared to 2000

Marriott Lodging, which includes our Full-Service, Select-Service, Extended-Stay, and Timeshare segments, reported a 32 percent decrease in segment financial results and 2 percent lower sales since its March 29, 1997 acquisition.in 2001. Results reflected restructuring costs of $44 million and other charges of $71 million, including a $36 million reserve for third-party guarantees we expect to fund and not recover out of future cash flow, $12 million of reserves for accounts receivable deemed uncollectible, a write-off of two investments in management contracts and other assets of $8 million, $13 million of losses on the anticipated sale of three lodging properties, and a $2 million write-off associated with capitalized software costs arising from a decision to change a technology platform. Results also reflect lower fees due to the decline in demand for hotel rooms, partially offset by increased revenue associated with new properties. Incentive management fees declined 36 percent, base management fees declined 3 percent, and franchise fees increased 6 percent.

Across our Lodging brands, REVPAR for comparable company-operated North American properties declined by an average of 10.4 percent in 2001. Average room rates for these hotels declined 2 percent, while occupancy declined 6.7 percentage points.

International Lodgingreported a decrease in the results of operations, reflecting the impact of the decline in international travel and restructuring and other charges, partially offset by sales associated with new rooms. Over 35 percent of rooms added in 2001 were outside the United States.

Marriott Vacation Club International contributed over 20 percent of lodging segment financial results in 2001, after the impact of restructuring and other charges. Segment financial results increased six7 percent reflecting a

17


22 percent increase in contract sales, the 2001 acquisition of the Grand Residence Club in Lake Tahoe, California, and note sale gains in 2001 of $40 million compared to $22 million in 2000, partially offset by higher marketing and selling expenses and severance expenses of nearly $2 million associated with the Company’s restructuring plan.

2002 Compared to 2001

Corporate expenses decreased $31 million in 2002 to $126 million reflecting the following: (i) 2002 items, including higher insurance costs, higher litigation expenses, lower expenses associated with our deferred compensation plan, lower foreign exchange losses and the continued favorable impact of our cost containment initiatives; (ii) 2001 items, including restructuring charges of $18 million related to severance costs and facilities exit costs, a $35 million write-off of three investments in technology partners (including a $22 million charge recorded in the fourth quarter), $11 million in gains from the sale of affordable housing investments and the reversal of a $10 million insurance reserve related to a lawsuit at one of our hotels.

2001 Compared to 2000

Corporate expenses increased $37 million reflecting the impact of restructuring charges of $18 million related to severance costs and facilities exit costs, and other charges related to the fourth quarter write-off of a $22 million investment in one of our technology partners. In addition to these items, we also recorded $8 million of foreign exchange losses and in prior quarters we recorded a $13 million write-off of two investments in technology partners. These charges were partially offset by $11 million in gains from the sale of affordable housing tax credit investments, the favorable impact of cost containment action plans, and the reversal of a long-standing $10 million insurance reserve related to a lawsuit at one of our managed hotels. The reversal of the insurance reserve was the result of our conclusion that a settlement could be reached in an amount that would be covered by insurance. We determined that it was no longer probable that the loss contingency would result in a material outlay by us and accordingly, we reversed the reserve during the first quarter of 2001.

Interest Expense

2002 Compared to 2001

Interest expense decreased $23 million to $86 million reflecting the decrease in borrowing and interest rates.

2001 Compared to 2000

Interest expense increased $9 million to $109 million reflecting the impact of the issuance of Series E Notes in January 2001 and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, partially offset by lower interest resulting from the payoff of commercial paper.

Interest Income and Income Tax

2002 Compared to 2001

Interest income increased $28 million, before reflecting reserves of $12 million for loans deemed uncollectible at four hotels. The increase in interest income was favorably impacted by amounts recognized which were previously

18


deemed uncollectible. The comparison to 2001 also reflects a $6 million charge for expected guarantee fundings recorded against interest income in the fourth quarter of 2001.

Our effective income tax rate for continuing operations decreased to approximately 6.8 percent in 2002 from 36.1 percent in 2001 primarily due to the impact of our Synthetic Fuel business. Excluding the impact of Synthetic Fuel, our effective income tax rate for continuing operations for 2002 was 39.6 percent. Our effective tax rate for discontinued operations decreased from 35.4 percent to 15.7 percent due to the impact of the taxes associated with the sale of stock in connection with the disposal of our Senior Living Services business.

2001 Compared to 2000

Interest income increased $34 million, before reflecting reserves of $48 million for loans deemed uncollectible as a result of certain hotels experiencing significant declines in profitability and the owners not being able to meet debt service obligations. The change in interest income was impacted by income associated with higher room ratesloan balances, including the loans made to the Courtyard joint venture in the fourth quarter of 2000, offset by $6 million of expected guarantee fundings and the impact of $14 million of income recorded in 2000 associated with an international loan that was previously deemed uncollectible.

Our effective income tax rate for continuing operations decreased to 36.1 percent in 2001 from 36.6 percent in 2000 as a result of modifications related to our deferred compensation plan and the impact of increased income in countries with lower effective tax rates.

Synthetic Fuel

In October 2001, we acquired four coal-based synthetic fuel production facilities (the Facilities) for $46 million in cash. The Synthetic Fuel produced at the Facilities qualifies for tax credits based on Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under Section 29, tax credits are not available for Synthetic Fuel produced after 2007. We began operating these Facilities in the first quarter of 2002. The operation of the Facilities, together with the benefit arising from the tax credits, has been, and we expect will continue to be significantly accretive to our net income. Although the Facilities produce significant losses, these are more than offset by the tax credits generated under Section 29, which reduce our income tax expense. In the fiscal year 2002, our Synthetic Fuel business reflected sales of $193 million and a slight decreaseloss of $134 million, resulting in occupancy. Integrationa tax benefit of RHG$49 million and tax credits of $159 million.

In January 2003, we entered into a contract with an unrelated third party to sell approximately a 50 percent interest in the Company's payroll, procurement, marketingSynthetic Fuel business. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of a satisfactory private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the new ownership structure. Contracts related to the potential sale are being held in escrow until closing conditions are met. If the conditions are not met by August 31, 2003, neither party will have an obligation to perform under the agreements. If the transaction is consummated, we expect to receive $25 million in promissory notes and sales, reservationcash as well as an earnout based on the amount of synthetic fuel produced. If the transaction is consummated, we expect to account for the remaining interest in the Synthetic Fuel business under the equity method of accounting.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Senior Living Services

2002 Compared to 2001

On December 30, 2002, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our senior living management business to Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc. and yieldto sell nine senior living communities to CNL Retirement Partners, Inc. (CNL) for approximately $259 million in cash. We expect to complete the sale early in 2003. On December 17, 2002, we sold twelve senior living communities to CNL for approximately $89 million in cash. We accounted for the sale under the full accrual method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) 66, and we recorded an after-tax loss of approximately $13 million. Also, on December 30, 2002, we purchased 14 senior living communities for approximately $15 million in cash, plus the assumption of $227 million in debt, from an unrelated owner. We had previously agreed to provide a form of credit enhancement on the outstanding debt related to these communities. We plan to restructure the debt and sell the communities in 2003. Management has approved and committed to a plan to sell these communities within 12 months. Accordingly, at January 3, 2003, the operating results of our Senior Living Services

19


segment are reported in discontinued operations, and the remaining assets are classified as assets held for sale on the balance sheet.

As a result of the transactions outlined above, we anticipate a total after-tax charge of $109 million. Since generally accepted accounting principles do not allow gains to be recognized until the underlying transaction closes, we cannot record the estimated after-tax gain of $22 million on the sale of the nine communities to CNL until the sale is completed, which we expect to occur in early 2003. As a result, we have recorded an after-tax charge of $131 million which is included in discontinued operations for the year ended January 3, 2003.

In December 2001, management systems continuesapproved and committed to progress on schedulea plan to exit the companion living concept of senior living services and is expectedsell the related properties within the next 12 months. We recorded an impairment charge of $60 million to contributeadjust the carrying value of the properties to revenue gains and margin improvementstheir estimated fair value at December 28, 2001. On October 1, 2002, we completed the sale of these properties for $62 million which exceeded our previous estimate of fair value by $11 million. We included the $11 million gain in 1998. The limited-service lodging brands reported eight percent higher sales and more than 25 percent profit growth in fiscal 1997 benefitingdiscontinued operations for the year ended January 3, 2003.

Income from increased incentive management fees on Company-operated properties and expansion of franchising programs. The limited-service brands added adiscontinued operations, net of 149 properties (16,390 rooms), primarily franchises, during fiscal 1997. . Courtyard,taxes and excluding the Company's moderate-price brand,loss on disposal of $131 million, was $23 million, an increase of $52 million over 2001 results. The increase reflects the impact of the 2001 plan to exit the companion living concept and its subsequent execution, higher per diems, recognition of a $2 million one-time pretax payment associated with the sale of the Crestline Senior Living communities to an unaffiliated third-party, lower amortization associated with our adoption of FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and other Intangible Assets,” in the first quarter of 2002 and lower depreciation, partially offset by higher insurance costs.

2001 Compared to 2000

Marriott Senior Living Services posted a five9 percent increase in sales in 2001, as we added a net total of three new communities (369 units) during the year. Occupancy for comparable Company-operated units, as average room rates and REVPAR were up eight percent, while occupancy remained at 81 percent. . Residence Inn, the Company's extended-stay brand, generated five percent growth in sales for comparable Company-operated units, as average room rates climbed eightcommunities increased by nearly 2 percent to $95, while occupancy dipped slightly to 84 percent resulting in a six percent increase in REVPAR. . Fairfield Inn and Suites, the Company's economy brand, reflected a decrease of two85.3 percent in sales for comparable Company-operated units. A two percent increase in average room rates2001.

The division reported an after tax loss of $45 million, reflecting pretax restructuring and other charges of $62 million, primarily related to $51 was offset by a slight decline in occupancy to 75 percent, resulting in no change in REVPAR. 14 Marriott Vacation Club International posted a 21 percent increase in the number$60 million write-down of timeshare intervals sold and 51 percent growth in financially reported sales under the percentage of completion method. The sales increase resulted from strong performance in several locations, including Marriott Vacation Club International's first European resort in Marbella, Spain, as well as Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, Florida and Hilton Head, South Carolina. Increased profits from resort development were offset by reduced financing income, due to lower sales of timeshare notes receivable during fiscal 1997. CONTRACT SERVICES reported a 29 percent decrease in operating profit on 44 percent higher sales in fiscal 1997. Profit comparisons between years are effected by sales to investors during 1996 and 1997 of 4325 senior living communities whichheld for sale to their estimated fair value and the Company continueswrite-off of a $2 million (pretax) receivable no longer deemed collectible. These charges were partially offset by the favorable impact of the increase in comparable occupancy and the new units.

Distribution Services

2002 Compared to operate under long-term agreements. Before2001

In the third quarter of 2002, we completed a previously announced strategic review of the distribution services business and decided to exit the business. As of January 3, 2003, through a combination of sale and transfer of nine facilities and the termination of all operations at four facilities, we have exited the distribution services business. Accordingly, we present the operating results of our distribution services business as discontinued operations and classify the remaining assets as held for sale at January 3, 2003 on the balance sheet. The after tax cost to exit the business was $40 million and included payments to third parties in connection with contractual agreements, severance costs and adjusting fixed assets to net realizable value. We present the exit costs together with the loss on operations of $14 million, net of taxes in discontinued operations for the year ended January 3, 2003. The $14 million after tax loss in 2002 represents a decline of $10 million from 2001 results. The decrease reflects the impact of these transactions, Contractlower sales and a pretax $2 million write-off in the first quarter of 2002 of an investment in a customer contract, offset by the 2001 restructuring and other charges of $5 million (pretax) for severance costs and the write-off of an accounts receivable balance from a customer that filed for bankruptcy.

2001 Compared to 2000

Financial results for Marriott Distribution Services profits increased four percent over fiscal 1996. Contract Services operating profit was also adversely affected by start-up losses for new distribution centers and distribution accounts. Marriott Senior Living Services reported a(MDS) reflect the impact of an increase in sales increase of 28 percent in fiscal 1997 over 1996, primarily duerelated to the openingcommencement of 17 communities during 1997new contracts in 2001 and increased sales from contracts established in 2000. The impact of higher sales on the financial results was more than offset by the decline in business from one significant customer, transportation inefficiencies and restructuring and other charges of $5 million (pretax), including severance costs and the write-off of an accounts receivable balance from a two percentage point increasecustomer that filed for bankruptcy in occupancy,the fourth quarter of 2001.

2001 Restructuring Costs and Other Charges

The Company experienced a significant decline in demand for hotel rooms in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington and the subsequent dramatic downturn in the economy. This decline resulted in reduced management and franchise fees, cancellation of development projects, and anticipated losses under guarantees and loans. In 2001, we responded by implementing certain companywide cost-saving measures, although we did not significantly change the scope of our operations. As a result of our restructuring plan, in the fourth quarter of 2001 we recorded pretax restructuring costs of $62 million, including (1) $15 million in severance costs; (2) $19 million, primarily associated with a loss on a sublease of excess space arising from the reduction in personnel; and (3) $28 million related to 95 percent,the write-off of capitalized costs relating to development projects no longer deemed viable. We also incurred $142 million of other charges including (1) $85 million related to reserves for comparable properties. Operating profit declined as "ownership profits" from 43guarantees and loan losses; (2) $12 million related to accounts receivable reserves; (3) $13 million related to the write-down of properties soldheld for sale; and (4) $32 million related to investors since the beginningimpairment of 1996technology related investments and other write-offs. We have provided below detailed information related to the restructuring costs and other charges, which were replaced with "managed operating profits." Marriott Distribution Services' sales were up sharplyrecorded in fiscal 1997the fourth quarter of 2001 as a result of the addition of several major restaurant customerseconomic downturn and the netunfavorable lodging environment.

2001 Restructuring Costs

Severance

Our restructuring plan resulted in the reduction of approximately 1,700 employees across our operations (the majority of which were terminated by December 28, 2001). In 2001, we recorded a workforce reduction charge of $15 million related primarily to severance and fringe benefits. The charge did not reflect amounts billed out separately to owners for property-level severance costs. In addition, we delayed filling vacant positions and reduced staff hours.

Facilities Exit Costs

As a result of two new distribution centers. Profits, however, were lowerthe workforce reduction and delay in fiscal 1997 duefilling vacant positions, we consolidated excess corporate facilities. We recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $14 million for excess corporate facilities, primarily related to start-uplease terminations and noncancelable lease costs in excess of estimated sublease income. In addition, we recorded a $5 million charge for lease terminations resulting from cancellations of leased units by our corporate apartment business, primarily in downtown New York City.

Development Cancellations and Elimination of Product Line

We incur certain costs associated with the new centers,development of properties, including legal costs, the cost of land and planning and design costs. We capitalize these costs as well as costsincurred and they become part of integrating the new business into existing distribution centers. Corporate expenses rose 21 percentcost basis of the property once it is developed. As a result of the dramatic downturn in 1997, duethe economy in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, we decided to non-cash items associatedcancel development projects that were no longer deemed viable. As a result, in 2001, we expensed $28 million of previously capitalized costs.

2001 Other Charges

Reserves for Guarantees and Loan Losses

We issue guarantees to lenders and other third parties in connection with investments generatingfinancing transactions and other obligations. We also advance loans to some owners of properties that we manage. As a result of the downturn in the economy, certain hotels experienced significant income tax benefits as well as modest staff increasesdeclines in profitability and the owners were not able to accommodate growth and new business development. Interest expense decreased 41 percent from fiscal 1996 duemeet debt service obligations to the saleCompany or in some cases, to other third-party lending institutions. As a result, in 2001, based upon cash flow projections, we expected to fund under certain guarantees, which were not deemed recoverable, and we expected that several of the 29 Forum Group communitiesloans made by us would not be repaid according to Host Marriott. Interest income declined 14 percent, primarily duetheir original terms. Due to collections on,these expected non-recoverable guarantee fundings and salesexpected loan losses, we recorded charges of affiliate and other notes receivable. The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 39 percent in 1997, compared to 38 percent in 1996, primarily due to the RHG acquisition. The effective tax rate is expected to decline about one-half percentage point in 1998. 1996 Compared to 1995. Net income increased 23 percent to $270$85 million in 1996, driven by contributions from new unit expansion and strong profit growth for both the Lodging and Contract Services segments, partially offset by higher interest and corporate expenses. Sales were up 16 percent to $7.3 billion in 1996. The impactfourth quarter of 2001.

Accounts Receivable-Bad Debts

In the 53rd week on 1996 resultsfourth quarter of operations was not significant. LODGING operating profit was up 26 percent on 10 percent higher sales, benefiting from favorable conditions in the U.S. lodging market, and contributions from new properties. The Company added a net2001, we reserved $12 million of 146 hotels (18,204 rooms) and opened four new vacation club resorts during the year. Profits for Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites rose 24 percent in 1996 on sales growthaccounts receivable which we deemed uncollectible following an analysis of nine percent reflecting the addition of a net of two units (1,006 rooms) in the U.S. and a net of 17 units (3,768 rooms) internationally. Comparable Company-operated U.S. hotels posted eight percent higher sales due to room rate growth of seven percent to $118, and a one percentage point increase in occupancy to 78 percent. These sales gains, coupled with profit margin improvements, generated substantially higher incentive management fees at many properties. Profits for international hotels also were higher, primarily because of contributions from new properties. The limited-service lodging brands reported 10 percent higher sales and 29 percent profit growth in 1996, also benefiting from increased incentive management fees on Company-operated properties, and expansion of franchising programs. The three brands added a net of 125 properties (12,888 rooms), primarily franchises, during 1996. 15 . Courtyard posted an eight percent increase in sales for comparable Company- operated units, as average room rates were up eight percent to $78, while occupancy remained at 81 percent. . Residence Inn generated eight percent growth in sales for comparable Company-operated units, as average room rates climbed seven percent to $89, while occupancy dipped slightly to 85 percent. . Fairfield Inn and Suites achieved a six percent sales gain for comparable Company-operated units, as average room rates were boosted 10 percent to $50. Occupancy fell four percentage points to 77 percent, reflecting the planned shift to higher rated business. The Company introduced Fairfield Suites in 1996. Marriott Vacation Club International posted a 25 percent increase in the number of timeshare intervals sold and 17 percent growth in financially reported sales under the percentage of completion method. Income from owner financing activities and resort management also increased. Profits were flat, reflecting higher marketing and selling costs associated with new resort locations, off- site sales centers and establishing a European operations group. Also contributing to 1996 lodging profit growth was higher income from the Company's investment in The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company LLC. For comparable U.S. hotels, the luxury chain posted a 10 percent increase in sales as average room rates increased four percent to $181 and occupancy increased to 75 percent. In addition, house profit margins improved, benefiting from integration with Marriott Lodging systems and programs. CONTRACT SERVICES reported a 87 percent increase in operating profit on 52 percent higher sales in fiscal 1996 primarily due to the March 1996 acquisition of the Forum Group. Sales for Marriott Senior Living Services increased 117 percent in 1996, while profits were up more than five fold from 1995 levels. Excluding the impact of the Forum Group acquisition, sales increased 23 percent and profits increased 18 percent. Overall growth was generated by a gain in occupancy to 96 percent, and a two percent increase in average per diem rates for comparable Marriott senior living communities, strong move-in rates at 11 communities opened since the beginning of 1995 and contributions from the acquired Forum Group communities. Sales for Marriott Distribution Services grew 35 percent in 1996, as the division opened five new distribution centers and added several major external restaurant accounts. Profits were flat in 1996, as sales gains were offset by start-up costs associated with the new centers and new business. Corporate expenses rose 24 percent in 1996, reflecting higher outlays associated with new business development and staff additions to facilitate the Company's growth. Additionally, costs increased due to tax-related investments which generated significant after-tax savings. Interest expense increased significantlythese accounts, generally as a result of interestthe unfavorable hotel operating environment.

Asset Impairments

We recorded a charge related to the impairment of an investment in a technology-related joint venture ($22 million), losses on the anticipated sale of three lodging properties ($13 million), write-offs of investments in management contracts and other assets ($8 million), and the write-off of capitalized software costs arising from a decision to change a technology platform ($2 million).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have credit facilities which support our commercial paper program and letters of credit. At January 3, 2003, our cash balances combined with our available borrowing capacity under the credit facilities amounted to 39.4 percent in 1995. This favorable trend reflects the Company's ongoing participation in jobsnearly $2 billion. We consider these resources, together with cash we expect to generate from operations, adequate to meet our short-term and affordable housing tax credit programs. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Growth Strategy - --------------- After the Spinoff, the Company will have substantial investment capacity with which to pursuelong-term liquidity requirements, finance our long-term growth opportunities. The Company's lodging management and franchise operations and its contract services businesses generate substantial operating cash flow, with only modest reinvestment requirements. The Company's lodging division expects to add more than 140,000 rooms over the five years 1998-2002, and to significantly expand its portfolio of vacation club resorts. During the same period, the Company also expects to take advantage of significant opportunities in the senior living services market by more than tripling the number of senior living communities it operates. The planned capital structure of the Company, following the Spinoff, is part of an integrated strategy for a focused hospitality company with substantially increased borrowing and investment capacity, as well as increased flexibility to 16 use its equity, where prudent, to participate aggressively in the ongoing global consolidation of the lodging industry as well as the accelerating rate of consolidation of the senior living industry within the United States. The Company intends to pursue strategic acquisition opportunities. The Company believes that it will have access to financial resources sufficient to finance its growth, as well as to support ongoing operations andplans, meet debt service and fulfill other cash requirements. requirements, including the repayment of $200 million of senior notes due in November 2003. 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. We expect that part of our financing and liquidity needs will continue to be met through commercial paper borrowings and access to long-term committed credit facilities. If conditions in the lodging industry deteriorate, we may be unable to place some or all of our commercial paper, and may have to rely more on bank borrowings which may carry a higher cost than commercial paper.

We have presented a claim with an insurance company for lost management fees from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. At this stage of the claims process, we have recognized $1 million in income from insurance proceeds. Although we expect to realize further proceeds we cannot currently estimate the amounts that may be paid to us.

Cash Fromfrom Operations - --------------------

Cash from operations was $521$516 million in 1997, $5042002, $403 million in 19962001, and $281$856 million in 1995. The operating cash flow2000.

While the Company'sour 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 inflows related toreceived from purchaser financing. Intervalfinancing affect annual amounts. We include timeshare interval sales financed by the Company are not includedwe finance in operating cash flow untilfrom operations when we collect cash is collectedpayments or the notes are sold for cash. Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, DepreciationIn 2002, the $63 million net cash outflow from timeshare activity included $102 million in timeshare development (the amount spent to build timeshare resorts less the costs of sales), $280 million of new timeshare mortgages net of collections, $60 million of note sale gains, a $16 million net reduction in Marriott Rewards accruals, $13 million of financially reportable sales in excess of closed sales, and Amortization (EBITDA) was $679$10 million $561of other cash outflows, offset by $387 million of note sale proceeds and $437$31 million of net fees received for fiscal years 1997, 1996servicing notes.

In 2002, other cash flows from operating activities of $223 million included an adjustment for $186 million related to the exit of our Senior Living Services and a 28Distribution Services businesses, and an adjustment for $50 million related to the impairment of goodwill of our ExecuStay brand.

In 2001, other cash flows from operating activities of $278 million included an adjustment for $248 million, related to non-cash restructuring and other charges, necessary to reconcile net income to cash provided by operations.

Earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) (from continuing operations) was $707 million in 2002, $708 million in 2001, and $1,032 million in 2000. Excluding the impact of our Synthetic Fuel business, EBITDA would have increased by $125 million, or 18 percent increase in 1996. to $833 million.

We consider EBITDA to be an indicator of itsour operating performance because EBITDAit can be used to measure the Company'sour ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand itsour business. Nevertheless, EBITDAyou should not be considered asconsider EBITDA an alternative to net income operating profit,or cash flows from operations, or any other operating or liquidity measureas prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted accounting principles. in the United States.

A substantial portion of the Company'sour EBITDA is based on fixed dollar amounts or percentages of sales. This includesThese include lodging base management andfees, franchise fees and land rent. With more than 1,450 hotel properties,almost 2,600 hotels in the Marriott system, no single operationproperty or customerregion is critical to the Company'sour financial results. The Company's

Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was .83 at January 2, 1998, compared0.8 to .701 at January 3, 1997.2003, compared to 1.4 to 1 at December 28, 2001. Each of the Company'sour businesses minimizes working capital through cash management, strict credit-granting policies, aggressive collection efforts and high inventory turnover. WorkingAdditionally, we have significant borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreements.

In 2002 we securitized $387 million of notes by selling notes receivable originated by our timeshare business. We recognized gains on these sales of $60 million in the year ended January 3, 2003. Our ability to continue to sell notes to such off-balance sheet entities depends on the continued ability of the capital for managed hotels is generally advancedmarkets to provide financing to the Companyentities buying the notes. Also, our ability to continue to consummate such securitizations would be impacted if the underlying quality of the notes receivable originated by us were to deteriorate, although we do not expect such a deterioration. In connection with these securitization transactions, at January 3, 2003, we had repurchase obligations of $12 million related to previously sold notes receivable, although we expect to incur no material losses in respect of those obligations. We retain interests in the hotel owners. securitizations which are accounted for as interest only strips, and in the year ended January 3, 2003, we received cash flows of $28 million arising from those retained interests. At January 3, 2003, the qualifying special purpose entities that had purchased notes receivable from us had aggregate assets of $682 million.

Investing Activities Cash Flows - -------------------------------

Acquisitions. The Company completed three major acquisitions during the last three years: Renaissance Hotel Group N.V., a premier operator and franchisorWe continually seek opportunities to enter new markets, increase market share or broaden service offerings through acquisitions.

Dispositions. Property sales generated proceeds of approximately 150 hotels, under three brands, in 38 countries; Forum Group, Inc. (Forum), a leading provider of senior living services; and a 49 percent interest in The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company LLC, one of the world's premier luxury hotel brands and management companies. The Company expects to exercise its right to acquire the remaining 51 percent of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company LLC within the next several years at prices based on Ritz-Carlton's cash flow. Dispositions. On April 3, 1997, the Company agreed to sell and leaseback, under long-term, limited-recourse leases, 14 limited service hotels for approximately $149$729 million in cash. Concurrently,2002, $554 million in 2001 and $742 million in 2000. Proceeds in 2002 are net of $36 million of financing and joint venture investments made by us in connection with the Company agreed to pay security deposits of $15 million, which will be refunded upon expiration ofsales transactions. In 2002 we closed on the leases. As of January 2, 1998, sales of all of the properties had closed, resulting in a $20 million excess of the sales price over the net book value, which will be recognized as a reduction of rent expense over the 17-year initial lease terms. On October 10 1997, the Company agreed to sell,hotels and leaseback, under long-term, limited-recourse leases, another nine limited service hotels for approximately $129 million in cash. Concurrently, the Company agreed to pay security deposits of $13 million, which will be refunded upon expiration of the leases. At January 2, 1998, sales of three of these nine properties had closed, resulting in a $7 million excess of the sales price over the net book value, which will be recognized as a reduction of rent expense over the 15-year initial lease terms. All of the aforementioned leases are renewable at the option of the Company. 17 On April 11, 1997, the Company sold five41 senior living communities, for cash considerationover half of approximately $79 million. On September 12, 1997, the Company agreed to sell another seven senior living communities for cash consideration of approximately $93 million. As of January 2, 1998, the sales of five of these properties had closed. The Company willwhich we continue to operate all of these communities under long-term management agreements. On June 21, 1997, the Company sold 29 senior living communities acquired as part of the Forum acquisition, to Host Marriott for approximately $550 million, resulting in no gain or loss. The consideration included approximately $50 million to be received subsequent to 1997 as expansions at certain communities are completed. The $500 million of consideration received during 1997 consisted of $222 million in cash, $187 million of outstanding debt, $50 million of notes receivable due June 20, 1998, and $41 million of notes receivable due January 1, 2001. The notes receivable from Host Marriott bear interest at nine percent. Under the terms of the sale, Host Marriott purchased all of the common stock of Forum which, at the time of the sale, included the 29 communities, certain working capital and associated debt. The Company will continue to operate these communities under long-term management agreements. The Company sold four senior living communities during 1996 and three senior living communities during 1995, retaining long-term operating agreements.

Capital Expenditures and Other Investments. Capital expenditures of $292 million in 1997, 19962002, $560 million in 2001, and 1995 of $520$1,095 million $293 millionin 2000 included development and $127 million, respectively, included construction and development of new hotels and senior living communities and Courtyard, Residence Inn and TownePlace Suitesacquisitions of hotel properties. Capital expenditures are expected to increase in 1998. The Company expects that, overOver time, it will sellwe have sold certain lodging and senior living service properties under development, or to be developed, while continuing to operate them under long-term agreements. The Companyability of third-party purchasers to raise the necessary debt and equity capital depends on the perceived risks inherent in the lodging industry, and other constraints inherent in the capital markets as a whole. Although we expect to continue to consummate such real estate sales, if we were unable to do so, our liquidity could decrease and we could have increased exposure to the operating risks of owning real estate. 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.

We also willexpect to continue to make other investments to grow its businesses, including development of new timeshare resorts and loans and minority equity investments in connection with adding units to our lodging business. These investments include loans, minority equity investments and development of new timeshare resorts. In 2002, other investing activities outflows of $7 million included equity investments of $26 million, an investment in corporate owned life insurance of $11 million and other net cash outflows of $33 million, offset by cash proceeds of $63 million from the sale of our investment in Interval International. In 2001, other investing outflows of $179 million included equity investments of $33 million, an investment in corporate owned life insurance of $97 million and other net cash outflows of $131 million, partially offset by the sale of the affordable housing tax credit investments of $82 million. In 2000, other investing outflows of $377 million included equity investments of $170 million, an investment in corporate owned life insurance of $14 million and other net cash outflows of $193 million.

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 LodgingCorporation (Host Marriott), substantially all of the limited partners’ interests in two other limited partnerships, Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership (CBM I) and Senior Living Services businesses.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 hasassessed 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.

Fluctuations in the values of hotel real estate generally have little impact on the overall results of our Lodging businesses because (1) we own less than 1 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 hotelhotels and senior living properties which it operatescommunities that we operate or franchises. At January 2, 1998, andfranchise. Loans outstanding under this program, excluding timeshare notes, totaled $944 million at January 3, 1997, loans outstanding pursuant to this program totaled $3512003, $860 million at December 28, 2001 and $186$592 million respectively.at December 29, 2000. Unfunded commitments aggregating $220$217 million were outstanding at January 2, 1998. These loans are typically secured by mortgages on the projects. During 1997, $183, 2003, of which we expect to fund $140 million of proceeds were received from sales of such loans to institutional investors. The Company participatesin 2003 and $156 million in total. We participate in a program with an unaffiliated lender in which the Companywe may provide credit enhancements forpartially guarantee loans made to facilitate third partythird-party ownership of Company-operatedhotels that we operate or franchised hotels and senior living services communities. The annual capital required by the Company to maintain its hotels and senior living communities is modest. Most of the Company's operating agreements require that specified percentages of sales be set aside for renovation and refurbishment of the properties. The Company, like most computer users, will be required to modify significant portions of its computer software so that it will function properly prior to,franchise.

Cash from Financing Activities

Debt, including convertible debt, decreased $945 million in the year 2000 and beyond. The Company has assembled a dedicated team to address the year 2000 issue. This team has completed an inventory of all systems requiring modification, and has completed the remediation of some significant systems. Many of the costs to be incurred will be reimbursed2002 due to the Company or otherwise paid directly by owners and clients, pursuant to existing contracts. Estimated pre-tax maintenance and modification costs to be borne by the Company are approximately $25 to $30 million and will be expensed as incurred. These amounts are subject to numerous estimation uncertainties including the extentredemption of work to be done, availability and cost of consultants and the extent of testing required. Cash From Financing Activities - ------------------------------ Non-interest bearing cash advances to or from Marriott International, Inc. are made to allow both the Company and Marriott International, Inc. to meet their respective cash requirements. Through such advances, the Company has had access to funds from Marriott International, Inc.'s $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and commercial paper program. 18 In 1996, the Company received proceeds of $288 million from the issuance of zero coupon subordinated Liquid Yield Option Notes which have an aggregate maturity value of $540 million in 2011. Each $1,000 LYON was issued at a discount representing a yield to maturity of 4.25 percent. Upon consummation of the Spinoff, each LYON will be convertible into 8.76 shares of New Marriott Common Stock, 8.76 shares of New Marriott Class A Common Stock and 2.19 shares of SMS common stock (after giving effect to a one-for-four reverse stock split). The LYONs will be assumed by the Company, and SMS will assume nine85 percent of the LYONs obligation, which percentage is based on an estimatein May 2002 and the pay down of our revolving credit facility, offset by the debt assumed as part of the relative equity valuesacquisition of SMSthe 14 senior living communities in December 2002. Debt increased by $799 million in 2001 primarily due to borrowings to finance our capital expenditure and share repurchase programs, and to maintain excess cash reserves totaling $645 million in the Company.aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.

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 2002, our long-term debt, excluding convertible debt and debt associated with businesses held for sale, had an average interest rate of 6.8 percent and an average maturity of approximately 6.6 years. The Company will remain liableratio of fixed rate long-term debt to total long-term debt was .91 as of January 3, 2003.

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 January 31, 2003, we had offered and sold to the holderspublic under these registration statements $300 million of debt securities at 77/8 percent, due 2009 and $300 million at 81/8 percent, due 2005, leaving a balance of $500 million available for future offerings.

In January 2001, we issued, through a private placement, $300 million of 7 percent senior unsecured notes due 2008, and received net proceeds of $297 million. We completed a registered exchange offer for these notes on January 15, 2002.

We are a party to revolving credit agreements that provide for borrowings of $1.5 billion expiring in July 2006, and $500 million expiring in February 2004, which support our commercial paper program and letters of credit. At January 3, 2003, loans of approximately $21 million were outstanding under these facilities. Fluctuations in the availability of the LYONs for any payments that SMS fails to make on its allocable portion. The Company has entered into a $1.5 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement permitting borrowings by the Company following consummationcommercial paper market do not affect our liquidity because of the Spinoff.

Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread, based on the Company'sour public debt rating. Additionally, annual fees will

On May 8, 2001, we issued zero-coupon convertible senior notes due 2021, also known as LYONs, and received cash proceeds of $405 million. On May 9, 2002, we redeemed for cash the approximately 85 percent of the LYONs that were tendered for mandatory repurchase by the holders. The remaining LYONs are convertible into approximately 0.9 million shares of our Class A Common Stock and carry a yield to maturity of 0.75 percent. We may not redeem the LYONs prior to May 2004. We may at the option of the holders be paidrequired to purchase LYONs at their accreted value on May 8 of each of 2004, 2011 and 2016. We may choose to pay the facility at a rate alsopurchase price for redemptions or repurchases in cash and/or shares of our Class A Common Stock.

We determine our debt capacity based on the Company'samount and variability of our cash flows. EBITDA (from continuing operations) coverage of gross interest cost was 5.5 times in 2002, and we met the cash flow requirements under our loan agreements. Excluding the impact of our Synthetic Fuel business, EBITDA coverage of gross interest would have been 6.5 times. At January 3, 2003, we had long-term public debt rating. On February 25, 1998, Marriott International, Inc. commenced a tender offerratings of BBB+ from Standard and consent solicitationPoor’s and Baa2 from Moody’s, respectively.

Our guarantees include $270 million for all $600commitments which will not be in effect until the underlying hotels are open and we begin to manage the properties. Our total unfunded loan commitments amounted to $217 million at January 3, 2003. We expect to fund $140 million within one year and $16 million in one to three years. We do not expect to fund the remaining $61 million of its outstanding public senior debt (the Marriott International Public Debt)commitments, which expire as follows: $51 million within one year; $5 million in one to three years; $2 million in four to five years; and RHG Finance Corporation, a subsidiary of Marriott International, Inc.

Other Matters

Inflation - --------- The rate of inflation

Inflation has been moderate in recent years, and accordingly, has not had a significant impact on our businesses.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our critical accounting policies require the Company's businesses. Market Risk Disclosures - -----------------------use of judgment in their application or require estimates of inherently uncertain matters. Our accounting policies are in compliance with principles generally accepted in the United States, although a change in the facts and circumstances of the underlying transactions could significantly change the application of an accounting policy and the resulting financial statement impact. We have listed below those policies that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application.

27


Incentive Fees

We recognize incentive fees as revenue when earned in accordance with the terms of the management contract. In interim periods, we recognize as income the incentive fees that would be due to us as if the contract were to terminate at that date, exclusive of any termination fees payable or receivable by us. If we recognized incentive fees only after the underlying full-year performance thresholds were certain, the revenue recognized for each year would be unchanged, but no incentive fees for any year would be recognized until the fourth quarter. We recognized incentive fee revenue of $162 million, $202 million and $316 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Cost Reimbursements

For domestic properties that we manage, we are responsible to employees for salaries and wages and to subcontractors and other creditors for materials and services. We also have the discretionary responsibility to procure and manage the resources in performing our services under these contracts. We therefore include these costs and the reimbursement of the costs as part of our expenses and revenues. We recorded cost reimbursements (excluding senior living services) of $5.7 billion in 2002 and $5.2 billion in 2001 and $5.3 billion in 2000.

Real Estate Sales

We account for the sales of real estate in accordance with FAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” We reduce gains on sales of real estate 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 $51 million in 2002, $16 million in 2001 and $18 million in 2000. Our ongoing ability to achieve sale accounting under FAS No. 66 depends on our ability to negotiate the structure of the sales transactions to comply with these rules.

Timeshare Sales

We also recognize revenue from the sale of timeshare interests in accordance with FAS No. 66. We recognize sales when we have received a minimum of 10 percent of the purchase price for the timeshare interval, the period of cancellation with refund has expired, receivables are deemed collectible and certain minimum sales and construction levels have been attained. For sales that do not meet these criteria, we defer all revenue using the deposit method.

Costs Incurred to Sell Real Estate Projects

We capitalize direct costs incurred to sell real estate projects attributable to and recoverable from the sales of timeshare interests until the sales are recognized. Costs eligible for capitalization follow the guidelines of FAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects”. Selling and marketing costs capitalized under this approach were approximately $107 million and $126 million at January 3, 2003, and December 28, 2001, respectively, and are included in property and equipment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If a contract is canceled, unrecoverable direct selling and marketing costs are charged to expense and deposits forfeited are recorded as income.

Interest Only Strips

We periodically sell notes receivable originated by our timeshare business in connection with the sale of timeshare intervals. We retain servicing assets and interests in the assets transferred to special purpose entities that are accounted for as interest only strips. The Company's earningsinterest only strips are affectedtreated as “Trading” or “Available for Sale” securities under the provisions of FAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. We report changes in the fair values of the interest only strips through the accompanying consolidated statement of income for trading securities and through the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income for available-for-sale securities. We had interest only strips of $135 million at January 3, 2003 and $87 million at December 28, 2001, which are recorded as long-term receivables on the consolidated balance sheet.

Loan Loss Reserves

We measure loan impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or the estimated fair value of the collateral. For impaired loans, we establish a specific

28


impairment reserve for the difference between the recorded investment in the loan and the present value of the expected future cash flows or the estimated fair value of the collateral. We apply our loan impairment policy individually to all loans in the portfolio and do not aggregate loans for the purpose of applying such policy. For loans that we have determined to be impaired, we recognize interest income on a cash basis. At January 3, 2003, our recorded investment in impaired loans was $129 million. We have a $59 million allowance for credit losses, leaving $70 million of our investment in impaired loans for which there is no related allowance for credit losses.

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.

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 judgmental 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.

Avendra

In January 2001, Marriott and Hyatt Corporation formed a joint venture, Avendra LLC (Avendra), to be an independent professional procurement services company serving the North American hospitality market and related industries. Six Continents Hotels, Inc., ClubCorp USA Inc., and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Inc., joined Avendra in March 2001. We and the other four members contributed our respective procurement businesses to Avendra. Currently, our interest in Avendra is slightly less than 50 percent.

Avendra generally does not purchase and resell goods and services; instead, its customers purchase goods and services directly from Avendra’s vendors on terms negotiated by Avendra. Avendra earns revenue through agreements with its vendors which provide that the vendors pay Avendra an unrestricted allowance for purchases by its customers. Our hotel management agreements treat vendor-generated unrestricted allowances in three separate ways, and the requirements of those agreements are reflected in our Procurement Services Agreement with Avendra (PSA).

For purchases of goods and services by the majority of Marriott’s managed hotels, Avendra is permitted to retain unrestricted allowances, in an amount sufficient only to recover Avendra’s properly allocated costs of providing procurement services. Other management contracts allow Avendra to retain vendor allowances and earn a return which is competitive in the industry. This amount is capped by the PSA. Lastly, for purchases of goods and services by hotels owned by one of Marriott’s hotel owners, Avendra is not permitted to retain any of such unrestricted allowances; instead, Avendra charges a negotiated fee to Marriott, and Marriott in turn charges a negotiated fee to that owner. In 2002, we distributed to the hotels that we manage approximately $12 million in unrestricted rebates received from Avendra, and its predecessor, Marketplace by Marriott. If Marriott franchised hotels (not managed by Marriott) elect to purchase through Avendra, they negotiate separately with Avendra and are not bound by the terms of the PSA for our managed hotels. We account for our interest in Avendra under the equity method and recognized income of $2 million in 2002 and a loss of $1 million in 2001. After we have recovered our investment in Avendra and associated expenses through distributions from Avendra or a sale of all or any portion of our equity interest in Avendra, we will apply any further benefits to offset costs otherwise allocable to Marriott branded hotels.

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 as a resultis unchanged from December 28, 2001. 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 changes in interest rates affect our earnings and the fair values of holding certain instruments we hold.

We hold notes receivable whichthat earn ainterest at variable rate of interest. Ifrates. Hypothetically, an immediate one percentage point change in interest rates increased by 10 percent,would change annual interest income would have increased by $1$5 million and $5 million, based on the respective balances during the fiscal year endedof these notes receivable at January 2, 1998. 3, 2003 and December 28, 2001.

Changes in interest rates also impact the fair value of the Company'sour long-term fixed rate debt and long-term fixed rate notes receivable. IfBased on the balances outstanding at January 3, 2003 and December 28, 2001, a hypothetical immediate one percentage point change in interest rates increased by 10 percent,would change the fair value of our long-term fixed rate debt by $42 million and $53 million, respectively, and would change the Company'sfair value of long-term fixed rate notes receivable balances would have decreased by approximately $4$20 million basedand $22 million, respectively, in each year.

Although commercial paper is classified as long-term debt (based on balancesour ability and intent to refinance it on a long-term basis) all commercial paper matures within two months of year-end. Based on the balance of commercial paper outstanding at January 2, 1998. The Company uses3, 2003, a foreign exchange swap to hedge a loan receivable denominatedhypothetical one percentage point change in UK pounds sterling, and interest rate swap agreements to hedgerates would change interest rate exposures relating to the Company's timeshare mortgage financing program. The fair value of these arrangements, and the exposures to loss in earnings, fair value and cash flows arising from these arrangements are not material to the Company. 19 expense by $1 million on an annualized basis.

MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINEDCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation On October 1, 1997,

The consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Marriott International, Inc. announced a definitive agreement to combine the operations of its Marriott Management Services Division with the North American operations of Sodexho Alliance, S.A. (Sodexho), a worldwide food and management services organization. Prior to the merger, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of New Marriott MI, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, we, us or the Company) will be distributed, on a pro rata basis, as a special dividend to holders of Marriott International, Inc. common stock (the Spinoff). For each share of common stock in Marriott International, Inc., shareholders will receive one share of Company Common Stock and one share of Company Class A Common Stock. The Spinoff and merger are expected to be consummated on March 27, 1998, subject to customary conditions, including approval by Marriott International, Inc.'s shareholders. A special meeting of shareholders is scheduled to be held on March 17, 1998 for purposes of considering and acting on the foregoing transactions and related matters. Marriott International, Inc. has received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that the Spinoff will be tax-free to Marriott International, Inc. and its shareholders. The Company will be renamed "Marriott International, Inc." and its common stock will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance. For the purposes of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between the Company and SMS after the Spinoff and to provide for orderly transition, the Company and SMS will enter into various agreements including the Distribution Agreement, Employee Benefits and Other Employment 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, these agreements will provide, among other things, that the Company will assume sponsorship of certain of Marriott International, Inc.'s employee benefit plans and insurance programs as well as succeed to Marriott International, Inc.'s liability to LYONs holders under the LYONs Indenture, a portion of which will be assumed by SMS. These combined financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as if it were a separate entity for all periods presented. Marriott International, Inc.'s historical basis in the assets and liabilities of the Company has been carried over. All material intercompany transactions and balances between entities included in these combined financial statements have been eliminated. Sales by the Company to Marriott International, Inc., of $434 million in 1997, $406 million in 1996 and $325 million in 1995 have not been eliminated. Changes in Investments and Net Advances from Marriott International, Inc. represent the net income of the Company plus the net cash transferred between Marriott International, Inc. and the Company and certain non-cash items. The Company has operated as a unit of Marriott International, Inc., utilizing Marriott International, Inc.'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 the Company was deposited in and commingled with Marriott International, Inc.'s general corporate funds. Similarly, operating expenses, capital expenditures and other cash requirements of the Company were paid by Marriott International, Inc. and charged directly or allocated to the Company. Certain assets and liabilities related to the Company's operations are managed and controlled by Marriott International, Inc. on a centralized basis. Such assets and liabilities have been allocated to the Company based on the Company's use of, or interest in, those assets and liabilities. In the opinion of management, Marriott International, Inc.'s methods for allocating costs, assets and liabilities are believed to be reasonable. After the Spinoff, the Company intends to perform these functions independently and expects that the costs incurred will not be materially different from those currently allocated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principlesin the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date 25 NEW MARRIOTT MI, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period.period and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.

As a result of the sale in December 2002 of 12 of our Senior Living Services communities, the definitive agreements we entered into to sell our senior living management business and nine of the remaining 23 communities, our plan to sell the remaining 14 communities and the discontinuation of our Distribution Services business, the balances and activities of two reportable segments, Senior Living Services and Distribution Services have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of January 3, 2003 and December 28, 2001, the results of operations and cash flows for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2003, December 28, 2001 and December 29, 2000.

EstimatedWe accrue estimated costs of these self-insurance programs are accrued at the present value of projected settlements for known and anticipatedincurred but not reported claims.

Marriott International, Inc. provided certain corporate generalRewards

Marriott Rewards is our frequent guest incentive marketing program. Marriott Rewards members earn points based on their spending at our lodging operations and, administrative services to a lesser degree, through participation in affiliated partners’ programs, such as those offered by airlines and credit card companies. Points which we accumulate and track on the Companymembers’ behalf 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. Points cannot be redeemed for cash.

We provide Marriott Rewards as a marketing program to participating hotels. We charge the cost of those services was allocatedoperating the program, including the estimated cost of award redemption, to hotels based on members’ qualifying expenditures.

Effective January 1, 2000, we changed certain aspects of our method of accounting for the Marriott Rewards program in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (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 Companyfair 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 provided. Interest Expense The interestfor the Marriott Rewards members.

Loan Loss and Accounts Receivable Reserves

We measure loan impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or the estimated fair value of the collateral. For impaired loans, we establish a specific impairment reserve for the difference between the recorded investment in itsthe loan and the present value of the expected future cash management system.flows or the estimated fair value of the collateral. We apply our loan impairment policy individually to all loans in the portfolio and do not aggregate loans for the purpose of applying such policy. For loans that we have determined to be impaired, we recognize interest income on a cash basis. At January 2, 19983, 2003, our recorded investment in impaired loans was $129 million. We have a $59 million allowance for credit losses, leaving $70 million of our investment in impaired loans for which there is no related allowance for credit losses.

Valuation of Marriott International, Inc. allocatedLong-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 Companyasset’s carrying value at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, we recognize a loss for the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and its fair value.

Assets Held for Sale

We consider properties to be assets held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market a property for sale or a signed sales contract exists. Upon designation as an asset held for sale, we record the carrying value of each property at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and we stop recording depreciation expense.

40


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.

Summarized information relating to our unconsolidated affiliates is as follows: total assets, which primarily comprise hotel real estate managed by us, and total liabilities were approximately $4.1 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively, at January 3, 2003 and $4.3 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively, at December 28, 2001. Total sales and net loss were $1.3 billion and $59 million, respectively, for the year ended January 3, 2003 and $1.5 billion and $39 million, respectively, for the year ended December 28, 2001. Total sales and net income were $765 million and $14 million, respectively, for the year ended December 29, 2000. Our ownership interest in these unconsolidated affiliates varies generally from 10 percent to 50 percent.

Costs Incurred to Sell Real Estate Projects

We capitalize direct costs incurred to sell real estate projects attributable to and recoverable from the sales of timeshare interests until the sales are recognized. Costs eligible for capitalization follow the guidelines of FAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects.” Selling and marketing costs capitalized under this approach were approximately $107 million and $126 million at January 3, 2003 and December 28, 2001, respectively, and are included in accounts payableproperty and totaledequipment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If a contract is canceled, we charge unrecoverable direct selling and marketing costs to expense, and record deposits forfeited as income.

Interest Only Strips

We periodically sell notes receivable originated by our timeshare business in connection with the sale of timeshare intervals. We retain servicing assets and interest in the assets transferred to special purpose entities that are accounted for as interest only strips. We treat the interest only strips as “trading” or “available for sale” securities under the provisions of FAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. We report changes in the fair values of the interest only strips through the accompanying consolidated statement of income for trading securities and through the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income for available for sale securities. We had interest only strips of $135 million and $124 million, respectively. At January 2, 1998 andat January 3, 1997, cash included $1402003 and $87 million and $133 million, respectively, related to managed properties. Marriott International, Inc.'s centralized cash has been allocated toat December 28, 2001, which are recorded as long-term receivables on the Company. consolidated balance sheet.

New Accounting Standards The Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and

We adopted FAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise142, “Goodwill and Related Information" during 1998. The Company is evaluating the impact of these statements on its combined financial statements. FAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" was adopted duringOther Intangible Assets” in the first quarter of 1997, and2002. FAS No. 129, "Disclosure142 requires that goodwill is not amortized, but rather reviewed annually for impairment. The initial adoption of Information about Capital Structure" wasFAS No. 142 did not result in an impairment charge to goodwill or other intangible assets and increased our fiscal 2002 net income by approximately $30 million.

We adopted FAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” in the first quarter of 2002. The adoption of FAS No. 144 did not have any impact to our financial statements.

We will adopt FAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with noExit or Disposal Activities,” in the first quarter of 2003. We do not expect the adoption of FAS No. 146 to have a material effectimpact on our financial statements.

We have adopted the Company's combineddisclosure provisions of FAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.” FAS No. 148 requires expanded disclosure regarding stock-based compensation in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and does not have a financial impact on our financial statements.

quarter of 2002. We will apply the initial recognition and initial measurement provisions on a prospective basis for all guarantees issued after December 31, 2002.

Under FIN 45, at the inception of guarantees issued after December 31, 2002, we will record the fair value of the Financial Accounting Standards Board reachedguarantee as a consensusliability, with the offsetting entry being recorded based on EITF 97-2 "Application of FASB Statement No. 94 and APB Opinion No. 16 to Physician Practice Management Entities and Certain Other Entities with Contractual Management Arrangements." EITF 97-2 addresses the circumstances in which the guarantee was issued. We will account for any fundings under the guarantee as a reduction of the liability. After funding has ceased, we will recognize the remaining liability in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the guarantee. In general, we issue guarantees in connection with obtaining long-term management entity may includecontracts, and thus in those cases the revenuesoffsetting entry will be capitalized and expensesamortized over the life of a managed entity in its financial statements. The Company is assessing the management contract.

Adoption of FIN 45 will have no impact of EITF 97-2 on its long-standing policy of including in itsto our historical financial statements as existing guarantees are not subject to the working capital, revenuesmeasurement provisions of FIN 45. The impact on future financial statements will depend on the nature and operating expensesextent of managed hotels and retirement communities operatedissued guarantees but is not expected to have a material impact to us.

FIN 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” is effective immediately for all enterprises with the Company's employees. If the Company concludes that EITF 97-2 shouldvariable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 provisions must be applied to variable interests in variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003 from the beginning of the third quarter of 2003. If an entity is determined to be a variable interest entity, it must be consolidated by the enterprise that absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses if they occur, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns if they occur, or both. Where it is reasonably possible that the company will consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity, the company must disclose the nature, purpose, size and activity of the variable interest entity and the company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its management agreements, it would no longer includeinvolvement with the variable interest entity in itsall financial statements certain working capitalissued after January 31, 2003.

We do not believe that it is reasonably possible that the adoption of FIN 46 will result in our consolidation of any previously unconsolidated entities. The adoption of FIN 46 may result in additional disclosure about a limited number of investments in variable interest entities. We do not expect such disclosure to be material.

FIN 46 does not apply to qualifying special purpose entities, such as those used by us to sell notes receivable originated by our timeshare business in connection with the sale of timeshare intervals. These qualifying special purpose entities will continue to be accounted for in accordance with FAS No. 140.

Stock-based Compensation

At January 3, 2003, we have several stock-based employee compensation plans, which we describe more fully in the “Employee Stock Plans” footnote. We account for those plans using the intrinsic value method under the recognition and revenuesmeasurement principles of those managed operations. Application of EITF 97-2APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to the Company's financial statements as of and for the 52 weeks ended January 2, 1998, would have reduced each of revenues and operating expenses by approximately $1.3 billion, and would have no impact on operating profit,Employees.” Accordingly, we do not reflect stock-based employee compensation cost in net income for our Stock Option Program, the Supplemental Executive Stock Option awards or the Stock Purchase Plan. We recognized stock-based employee compensation cost of $9 million, $19 million and $14 million, net of tax, for deferred share grants and restricted share grants for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The impact of measured but unrecognized compensation cost and excess tax benefits credited to additional paid-in capital is included in the denominator of the diluted pro forma shares for all years presented.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Courtyard Joint Venture

In the first quarter of 2000, we entered into an agreement to resolve litigation involving certain limited partnerships formed in the mid- to late 1980s. The agreement was reached with lead counsel to the plaintiffs in the lawsuits, 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 in September 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.

Since we have an option to repurchase the property at opening if certain events transpire, we have accounted for the sale of the land as a financing transaction in accordance with FAS No. 66. We reflect sales price overproceeds of $71 million, less $50 million funded by our initial loans to the net book value,joint venture, as long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

In 2001, we sold and leased back one lodging property for $15 million in cash, which generated a pretax gain of $2 million. We will be recognizedrecognize this gain as a reduction of rent expense over the 17-year initial lease terms. On October 10, 1997, the Company agreed to sellterm.

In 2001, we sold 100 percent of our limited partner interests in five affordable housing partnerships and leaseback, under long-term, limited- recourse leases, another nine85 percent of our limited service hotelspartner interest in a sixth affordable housing partnership for approximately $129$82 million in cash. Concurrently,We recognized pretax gains of $13 million in connection with four of the Companysales. We will recognize pretax gains of $3 million related to the other two sales in subsequent years provided certain contingencies in the sales contract expire.

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 has built a resort hotel, which was partially funded with $46 million of mezzanine financing to be provided by us.

In 2000, we sold and leased back, under long-term, limited-recourse leases, three lodging properties for an aggregate purchase price of $103 million. We agreed to pay a security depositsdeposit of $13$3 million, which will be refunded upon expirationat the end of the leases. As of January 2, 1998, sales of three of these nine properties had closed, resulting in a $7 million excess of theThe sales price overexceeded the net book value by $3 million, which we will be recognizedrecognize as a reduction of rent expense over the 15-year initial lease terms. All

In 2000, we agreed to sell 23 lodging properties for $519 million in cash. We continue to operate the hotels under long-term management agreements. As of January 3, 2003, all the properties had been sold, generating pretax gains of $31 million. We accounted for 14 of the aforementioned leases are renewable17 properties 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. Four of the 17 properties were sold 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 optiondate of sale. We recognized $5 million, $13 million and $9 million of pretax gains in 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively, and will recognize the remainder in subsequent years provided certain contingencies in the sales contracts expire. Unaffiliated third-party tenants lease 13 of the Company. properties from the buyers. In 2000, one of these tenants replaced us as the tenant on nine other properties that we sold and leased back in 1997 and 1998. We now manage these nine previously leased properties under long-term management agreements, and deferred gains on the sale of these properties of $15 million were recognized as our leases were canceled 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. During 2001 we funded $27 million under this loan commitment in connection with one of the 11 property sales described above.

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.

See Assets Held for Sale note for dispositions related to our discontinued Senior Living Services business.

ASSET SECURITIZATIONS

We periodically sell, with limited recourse, through special purpose entities, notes receivable originated by our timeshare business in connection with the sale of timeshare intervals. We continue to service the notes and transfer all proceeds collected to the special purpose entities. We retain servicing assets and interests in the securitizations which are accounted for as interest only strips. The interests are limited to the present value of cash available after paying financing expenses, program fees, and absorbing credit losses. We have included gains from the sales of timeshare notes receivable totaling $60 million in 2002, $40 million in 2001 and $22 million in 2000 in other revenue 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. We report changes in the fair value of the interest only strips that are treated as available-for-sale securities under the provisions of FAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, through other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. We report income changes in the fair value of interest only strips treated as trading securities under the provisions of FAS No. 115. We used the following key assumptions in measuring the fair value of the interest only strips at the time of securitization and at the end of each of the years ended January 3, 2003, December 28, 2001 and December 29, 2000: average discount rate of 5.69 percent, 6.89 percent and 7.82 percent, respectively; average expected annual prepayments, including defaults, of 15.48 percent, 15.43 percent and 12.72

48


percent, respectively; expected weighted average life of prepayable notes receivable, excluding prepayments, of 119 months, 118 months and 86 months, respectively, and expected weighted average life of prepayable notes receivable, including prepayments, of 44 months, 40 months, and 38 months, respectively. Our key assumptions are based on experience. To date, actual results have not materially affected the carrying value of the interests.

Cash flows between us and third-party purchasers during the years ended January 3, 2003, December 28, 2001 and December 29, 2000, were as follows: net proceeds to us from new securitizations of $341 million, $199 million and $144 million, respectively; repurchases by us of delinquent loans (over 150 days overdue) of $16 million, $13 million and $12 million, respectively; servicing fees received by us of $3 million in 2002 and $2 million in 2001 and 2000, and cash flows received on retained interests of $28 million, $30 million and $18 million, respectively.

On April 11, 1997,November 20, 2002, we repurchased notes receivable with a principal balance of $381 million and immediately sold $365 million of those notes, along with $135 million of additional notes, in a $500 million securitization to an investor group. We have included net proceeds from these transactions of $89 million, including repayments of interest rate swaps on the $381 million of repurchased notes receivables, in the net proceeds from new securitizations disclosed above. We realized a gain of $14 million, primarily associated with the $135 million of additional notes sold, which is included in the $60 million gain on the sales of notes receivable for fiscal year 2002 disclosed above.

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. We have included net proceeds from these transactions of $16 million 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 January 3, 2003, $682 million of principal remains outstanding in all securitizations in which we have a retained interest only strip. Delinquencies of more than 90 days at January 3, 2003, amounted to $2 million. Loans repurchased by the Company, net of obligors subsequently curing delinquencies, during the year ended January 3, 2003, amounted to $13 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 $143 million at January 3, 2003, before any stress test changes were applied. An increase of 100 basis points in the prepayment rate would decrease the year-end valuation by $3 million, or 2 percent, and an increase of 200 basis points in the prepayment rate would decrease the year-end valuation by $6 million, or 4 percent. An increase of 100 basis points in the discount rate would decrease the year-end valuation by $3 million, or 2 percent, and an increase of 200 basis points in the discount rate would decrease the year-end valuation by $7 million, or 5 percent. A decline of two months in the weighted average remaining term would decrease the year-end valuation by $2 million, or 1 percent, and a decline of four months in the weighted average remaining term would decrease the year-end valuation by $4 million, or 3 percent.

MARRIOTT AND CENDANT CORPORATION JOINT VENTURE

In the first quarter of 2002, Marriott and Cendant Corporation (Cendant) completed the formation of a joint venture to further develop and expand the Ramada and Days Inn brands in the United States. We contributed the domestic Ramada license agreements and related intellectual property to the joint venture at their carrying value of approximately $200 million. Cendant contributed the Days Inn license agreement and related intellectual property with a fair value of approximately $205 million. We each own approximately 50 percent of the joint venture, with Cendant having the slightly larger interest. We account for our interest in the joint venture using the equity method. The joint venture can be dissolved at any time with the consent of both members and is scheduled to terminate in March 2012. In the event of dissolution, the joint venture’s assets will generally be distributed in accordance with each member’s capital

account. In addition, during certain periods of time commencing in March 2004, first Cendant and later Marriott will have a brief opportunity to cause a mandatory redemption of Marriott’s joint venture equity.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Senior Living Services

On December 30, 2002, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our senior living management business to Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc. and to sell nine senior living communities we own to CNL Retirement Partners, Inc. (CNL) for approximately $259 million in cash. We expect to complete the sales in early 2003. On December 17, 2002, we sold twelve senior living communities to CNL for approximately $89 million. We accounted for the sale under the full accrual method in accordance with FAS No. 66; and we recorded an after-tax loss of approximately $13 million. Also, on December 30, 2002, we purchased 14 senior living communities for approximately $15 million in cash, plus the assumption of $227 million in debt, from an unrelated owner. We had previously agreed to provide a form of credit enhancement on the outstanding debt related to these communities. We plan to restructure the debt and sell the communities in 2003. Management has approved and committed to a plan to sell these communities within 12 months. Accordingly, the operating results of our senior living segment are reported in discontinued operations and the remaining assets and liabilities are classified as assets held for sale and liabilities of businesses held for sale, respectively, on the balance sheet at January 3, 2003.

As a result of the transactions outlined above, we anticipate a total after-tax charge of $109 million. Since generally accepted accounting principles do not allow gains to be recognized until the underlying transaction closes, we cannot record the estimated after-tax gain of $22 million on the sale of the nine communities to CNL until the sale is completed, which is expected to be in early 2003. As a result, we have recorded an after-tax charge of $131 million which is included in discontinued operations for the year ended January 3, 2003.

In December 2001, management approved and committed to a plan to exit the companion living concept of senior living services and sell the related properties within the next 12 months. We recorded an impairment charge of $60 million to adjust the carrying value of the properties to their estimated fair value for the year ended December 29, 2001. On October 1, 2002, we completed the sale of these properties for $62 million which exceeded our previous estimate of fair value by $11 million. We have included the $11 million gain in discontinued operations for the year ended January 3, 2003.

In the second quarter of 2002, we sold five senior living communities for cash consideration of approximately $79$59 million. On September 12, 1997, the Company agreed to sell another seven senior living communities for cash consideration of approximately $93 million. As of January 2, 1998, the sales of five of these properties had closed. The Company willWe continue to operate all of thesethe communities under long-term management agreements. During 1996,We accounted for these sales under the Company sold and leased back four senior living communities for cash considerationfull accrual method in accordance with FAS No. 66. We will recognize pretax gains of approximately $53 million. $6 million provided certain contingencies in the sales contract expire.

Distribution Services

In the third quarter of 2002, we completed a previously announced strategic review of the sales price overDistribution Services business and decided to exit the net book valuebusiness. During the fourth quarter of $92002 we completed the exit of the MDS business. The exit was accomplished through a combination of transferring certain facilities, closing of other facilities and other suitable arrangements. In the year ended January 3, 2003, we recognized a pretax charge of $65 million will be recognized as a reduction of rent expense over the 20-year initial lease terms. 31 NEW MARRIOTT MI, INC. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued) Note Sales The Company periodically sells, with limited recourse, notes receivable originated by Marriott Vacation Club International in connection with the decision to exit this business. The charge includes: (1) $15 million for payments to third parties to subsidize their assumption of, or in some cases to terminate, existing distribution or warehouse lease contracts; (2) $9 million for severance costs; (3) $10 million related to the adjusting of fixed assets to net realizable values; (4) $2 million related to inventory losses; (5) $15 million for losses on equipment leases; (6) $10 million for losses on warehouse leases; and (7) $4 million of other associated charges. We expect to incur further expenses during 2003 in connection with the wind down of the business, but we currently are unable to estimate their magnitude.

At December 28, 2001, assets held for sale included $87 million of timesharing intervals. Net proceeds from these transactions totaled $68full-service lodging properties, including $11 million of undeveloped land, $158 million of select-service properties and $27 million of extended-stay properties. Included in 1997other liabilities at December 28, 2001, are $2 million of liabilities related to the assets held for sale.

During the fourth quarter of 2001, management approved and $148committed to a plan to sell two lodging properties and undeveloped land for an estimated sales price of $119 million. Seven additional lodging properties ($156 million in 1996. Atpurchase price) were subject to signed contracts at December 28, 2001. In 2001 we recorded an impairment charge to adjust the carrying value of three properties and the undeveloped land to their estimated fair value less cost to sell. All of the properties and undeveloped land were sold during the year ended January 2, 1998,3, 2003, with the Companyexception of one lodging property and one piece of undeveloped land since no suitable buyers were located. The lodging property and undeveloped land have been reclassified as held and used and recorded at the fair value, which was lower than the carrying amount of the assets before they were classified as held for sale, less any depreciation expense that would have been recognized had a repurchase obligation of $70 million with respect to these mortgage note sales. Additionally, the Company sold, without recourse, first mortgage loansasset been continuously classified as held and used. There were no lodging properties held for sale on Marriott lodging and senior living properties of $18 million in 1997 and $113 million in 1996. January 3, 2003.

In the fourth quarter of 2002 we performed the annual goodwill impairment tests required by FAS No. 142. During the fourth quarter, we continued to experience softness in demand for corporate housing, and the ExecuStay business results did not start to recover as previously anticipated, particularly in New York. Additionally, we decided to convert certain geographical markets to franchises, which we anticipate will result in more stable, albeit lower, profit growth. Due to the increased focus on franchising, the continued weak operating environment, and a consequent delay in the expectations for recovery of this business from the current operating environment, we recorded a $50 million pretax charge in the fourth quarter of 2002. In calculating this impairment charge, we estimated the fair value of the ExecuStay reporting unit using a combination of discounted cash flow methodology and recent comparable transactions.

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, 200,000 shares have been issued, 100,000 of which were for the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and 100,000 of which were for Capped Convertible Preferred Stock. As of December 28, 2001, 109,223 shares of preferred stock were outstanding, 29,124 of which related to the ESOP and 80,099 of which were Capped Convertible Preferred Stock. As of January 3, 2003, no shares of preferred stock were outstanding as the Capped Convertible Preferred Stock shares were retired and cancelled.

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 may not presently be exercised, but 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 previously exercised or 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.

During the second quarter of 2000 we established an employee stock ownership plan 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 1 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 were forgiven periodically to fund contributions to the ESOP and release shares of ESOP Preferred Stock. Unearned ESOP shares have been reflected within shareholders’ equity and are amortized as shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are released and cash is allocated to employees’ accounts. The fair market value of the unearned ESOP shares at December 28, 2001 was $263 million. The last of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock were released to fund contributions as of July 18, 2002 at which time the remainder of the principal and interest due on the ESOP’s note was forgiven. As of January 3, 2003, there were no outstanding shares of ESOP Preferred Stock.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss of $70 million and $50 million at January 3, 2003 and December 28, 2001, respectively, consists primarily of fair value changes of certain financial instruments and foreign currency translation adjustments.

We amortized the Company, and SMS will assume nine percentissuance costs of the LYONs obligation, which percentage isinto interest expense over the one-year period ended May 8, 2002. We classify LYONs as long-term based on an estimate ofour ability and intent to refinance the relative equity values of SMS and the Company. The Company will be liable to the holders of the LYONs for any payments that SMS fails to make on its allocable portion. At the option of the holder, the Company may beobligation with long-term debt if we are required to redeem each LYON on March 25, 1999, or March 25, 2006, for $603.71 or $810.36 per LYON, respectively.

The LYONs are redeemable by the obligor at any time on or after March 25, 1999, for cash equal to the issue price plus accrued original issue discount. The LYONs are expressly subordinated to the senior indebtedness of the issuer, including guarantees, as defined in the indenture governing the LYONs (Senior Indebtedness).

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

CONTINGENCIES

Guarantees, Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit

We issue guarantees to certain lenders and hotel owners primarily to obtain long term management contracts. The guarantees have a stated maximum amount of funding and the terms are generally five years or less. The terms of guarantees to lenders generally require us to fund if cash flows from hotel operations are not adequate to cover annual debt service or to repay the loan at the end of the term. The terms of the guarantees to hotel owners generally require us to fund if specified levels of operating profit are not obtained.

We also enter into project completion guarantees with certain lenders in conjunction with hotels and timeshare units which are being built by us.

We also enter into guarantees in conjunction with the sale of notes receivable originated by our timeshare business. These guarantees have terms of between seven and ten years. The terms of the guarantees require us to repurchase a limited amount of non-performing loans under certain circumstances.

The maximum potential amount of future fundings and the current carrying amount of the liability for expected future fundings at January 3, 2003 are as follows ($ in millions):

Our guarantees include $270 million for commitments which will not be in effect until the underlying hotels are open and we begin to manage the properties. The guarantee fundings to lenders and hotel owners are generally recoverable in the form of a loan and are generally repayable to us out of future hotel cash flows and/or proceeds from the sale of hotels. When we repurchase non-performing timeshare loans, we will either collect the outstanding loan balance in full or foreclose on the asset and subsequently resell it.

As of January 3, 2003, we had extended approximately $217 million of loan commitments to owners of lodging properties and senior living communities under which we expect to fund approximately $140 million by January 2, 2004, and $156 million in total.

Letters of credit outstanding on our behalf at January 3, 2003 totaled $94 million, the majority of which related to our self-insurance programs. Surety bonds issued on our behalf as of January 3, 2003 totaled $480 million, the majority of which were requested by federal, state, or local governments related to our timeshare and lodging operations and self-insurance programs.

Third-parties have severally indemnified us for guarantees by us of leases with minimum annual payments of approximately $57 million.

Litigation and Arbitration

Green Isle litigation. This litigation pertains to The Ritz-Carlton San Juan (Puerto Rico) Hotel, Spa and Casino which we manage under an operating agreement for Green Isle Partners, Ltd., S.E. (Green Isle). On March 30,

59


2001, Green Isle filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in Delaware against us (including several of our subsidiaries) and Avendra LLC, asserting 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. These assorted claims include 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 appropriately to reveal and explain revised cash flow figures. The complaint sought damages of $140 million, which Green Isle claims to have invested in the hotel (which includes $85 million in third party debt), which the plaintiffs sought to treble to $420 million under RICO and the Robinson-Patman Act. The complaint did not request termination of our operating agreement.

On June 25, 2001, Green Isle filed a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition in the Southern District of Florida and in that proceeding sought to reject our operating agreement. The claims against us, including the attempt to eliminate our management agreement in bankruptcy, were subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court in Puerto Rico, where on October 7, 2002 they were dismissed with prejudice, meaning that the claims may not be refiled or pursued elsewhere. Green Isle has appealed that decision. We have moved in the bankruptcy proceeding to dismiss the parallel claims based on the dismissal with prejudice in federal court. On December 11, 2002, a Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization was filed in the bankruptcy proceeding on behalf of RECP San Juan Investors LLC and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company LLC. If confirmed, the Plan would operate to discharge the Green Isle litigation claims. The outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings is unknown at this time.

CTF/HPI arbitration and litigation. On April 8, 2002, we initiated an arbitration proceeding against CTF Hotel Holdings, Inc. (CTF) and its affiliate, Hotel Property Investments (B.V.I.) Ltd. (HPI), in connection with a dispute over procurement issues for certain Renaissance hotels and resorts that we manage for CTF and HPI. On April 12, 2002, CTF filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Delaware against us and Avendra LLC, alleging that, in connection with procurement at 20 of those hotels, we engaged in improper acts of self-dealing, and claiming breach of fiduciary, contractual and other duties; fraud; misrepresentation; and violations of the RICO and the Robinson-Patman Acts. CTF also claims that we breached an agreement relating to CTF’s right to conduct an audit of certain aspects relating to the management of these hotels. CTF seeks various remedies, including a stay of the arbitration proceedings against CTF and unspecified actual, treble and punitive damages. We subsequently amended our arbitration demand to incorporate all of the issues in the CTF lawsuit. On May 22, 2002 the district court enjoined the arbitration with respect to CTF, but granted our request to stay the court proceedings pending the resolution of the arbitration with respect to HPI. Both parties have appealed this ruling. The arbitration panel has established a schedule which calls for the arbitration hearing to commence on October 14, 2003.

In Town Hotels litigation. On May 23, 2002, In Town Hotels filed suit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia and subsequently filed an amended complaint on August 26, 2002, to include Avendra LLC alleging that, in connection with the management, procurement and rebates related to the Charleston, West Virginia Marriott, International,we misused confidential information related to the hotel, improperly allocated corporate overhead to the hotel, engaged in improper self dealing with regard to procurement and rebates, failed to disclose information related to the above to In Town Hotels, and breached obligations owed to In Town Hotels by refusing to replace the hotel’s general manager and by opening two additional hotel properties in the Charleston area, and claiming breach of contract, breach of implied duties of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, violation of the West Virginia Unfair Trade Practices Act, fraud, misrepresentation, negligence, violations of the Robinson-Patman Act, and other related causes of action. In Town Hotels seeks various remedies, including unspecified compensatory and exemplary damages, return of $18.5 million in management fees, and a declaratory judgment terminating the management agreement. The parties are about to commence discovery and trial is presently scheduled for March 2004.

Strategic Hotel litigation. On August 20, 2002, several direct or indirect subsidiaries of Strategic Hotel Capital, L.L.C. (Strategic) filed suit against us in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California in a dispute related to the management, procurement and rebates related to three California hotels that we manage for Strategic. Strategic alleges that we misused confidential information related to the hotels, improperly allocated corporate overhead to

60


the hotels, engaged in improper self dealing with regard to procurement and rebates, and failed to disclose information related to the above to Strategic. Strategic also claims breach of contract, breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair and deceptive business practices and unfair competition, and other related causes of action. Strategic seeks various remedies, including unspecified compensatory and exemplary damages, and a declaratory judgment terminating our management agreements. On August 20, 2002, we filed a cross complaint against Strategic alleging a breach of Strategic’s covenant not to sue, a breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of an agreement to arbitrate, and a breach of The California Unfair Competition Statute. A discovery referee has been appointed, but no trial date has been set.

Senior Housing and Five Star litigation. Marriott Senior Living Services, Inc. (SLS) operates 31 senior living communities for Senior Housing (SNH) and Five Star (FVE). After several months of discussions between the parties to resolve certain ongoing operational and cost allocation issues, on November 13, 2002, SNH/FVE served a Notice of Default asserting various alleged defaults and purported material breaches by SLS under the applicable operating agreements. SLS responded to the various issues raised by SNH/FVE and denies that it is in default or material breach of the agreements.

On November 27, 2002, in response to SNH/FVE’s repeated indications that they would attempt to terminate the Operating Agreements, we filed suit in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland, seeking, among other relief, a declaration that SLS is not in default or material breach of its operating agreements and a declaration that SNH/FVE had anticipatorily breached the operating agreements by violating the termination provisions of those contracts. We also sought, and obtained later that same day, a temporary restraining order (TRO) prohibiting SNH/FVE from terminating or attempting to terminate SLS’s operating agreements, or from evicting or attempting to evict SLS from the 31 communities, until the court further addresses the parties’ dispute at a preliminary injunction hearing. Also on November 27, 2002, SNH/FVE attempted to terminate SLS’s operating agreements by sending SLS a purported “Notice of Termination.” That attempted termination was stayed, however, by the court’s issuance of the TRO. On January 8, 2003, following the preliminary injunction hearing, the court granted Marriott and SLS a preliminary injunction enjoining SNH/FVE from terminating or attempting to terminate the Operating Agreements prior to the trial on the merits. That trial is not expected until later in 2003 or in 2004.

Also on November 27, 2002, after Marriott and SLS had filed their action in Maryland, SNH/FVE filed suit against us and SLS in the Superior Court for Middlesex County, Massachusetts. That action seeks declaratory relief regarding the legal rights and duties of SLS and SNH/FVE under SLS’s operating agreements, and injunctive and declaratory relief prohibiting us and SLS from removing the Marriott name and proprietary marks from the 31 communities, allowing SNH/FVE to use the Marriott name and proprietary marks even if we sell SLS, and prohibiting us from selling SLS without SNH/FVE’s consent. On December 20, 2002, the Massachusetts court denied SNH/FVE’s motion for a preliminary injunction, and that denial was affirmed on appeal on December 31, 2002. SNH/FVE subsequently amended their claim for preliminary relief, adding a new claim that the relationship between the owner and operator in each of the 31 operating agreements is one of principal and agent and thus is terminable at any time. The company and SLS have opposed this new claim and, in the Maryland action, have moved to have SNH/FVE held in contempt on the ground that the newly filed Massachusetts claim violates the Maryland preliminary injunction.

We believe that each of the foregoing lawsuits against us is without merit, and we intend to vigorously defend against the claims being made against us. However, we cannot assure you as to the outcome of any of these lawsuits nor can we currently estimate the range of potential losses to the Company.

In addition to the foregoing, we are from time to time involved in legal proceedings which could, if adversely decided, result in losses to the Company.

Shareholder’s derivative action against our directors.

On January 16, 2003, Daniel and Raizel Taubenfeld filed a shareholder’s derivative action in Delaware state court against each member of our Board of Directors and against Avendra LLC. The company is named as a nominal defendant. The individual defendants are accused of exposing the company to accusations and lawsuits which allege wrongdoing on the part of the company. The complaint alleges that, as a result, the company’s reputation has been damaged leading to business losses and the compelled renegotiation of some management contracts. The substantive allegations of the complaint are derived exclusively from prior press reports. No damage claim is made against us

61


and no specific damage number is asserted as to the individual defendants. Management of the company believes that this derivative action is without merit.

Legal proceeding settled in December 2002.

In response to demands by John J. Flatley and Gregory Stoyle, as agents for The 1993 Flatley Family Trust (collectively, Flatley) to convert our management agreement with Flatley for the Boston Marriott Quincy Hotel into a franchise agreement and threats to terminate our management agreement, on August 1, 2002, we filed a suit against Flatley in the U.S. District Court in Maryland seeking a declaratory judgment that we were not in breach of our management agreement, claiming breach of contract, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and violation of the Massachusetts Unfair Business Practices Act by Flatley, and seeking unspecified compensatory and exemplary damages. On August 5, 2002, Flatley and the Crown Hotel Nominee Trust (Crown) filed a countersuit in the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, alleging that we and Avendra LLC engaged in improper acts of self dealing and claiming breach of contract, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, violation of the Massachusetts Unfair Business Practices Act, tortious interference with contract, breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud, violations of the Robinson-Patman Act and other related causes of action. Flatley and Crown sought various remedies, including unspecified compensatory and exemplary damages, and termination of our management agreement.On December 20, 2002, the parties entered into a settlement agreement on terms favorable to the Company and both lawsuits have been dismissed.

The proceeds of the mezzanine loan have not been, and will not be used to pay our management fees, debt service, or land rent income. All management fees relating to the underlying hotels that we recognize in income are paid to us in cash by the Courtyard Joint Venture. For the fiscal year ended January 3, 2003, we recognized $8 million of equity losses arising from our ownership interest in the Courtyard Joint Venture.

2001 RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER CHARGES

Restructuring Costs and Other Charges

The Company experienced a significant decline in demand for hotel rooms in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington and the subsequent dramatic downturn in the economy. This decline resulted in reduced management and franchise fees, cancellation of development projects, and anticipated losses under guarantees and loans. In 2001, we responded by implementing certain companywide cost-saving measures, although we did not significantly change the scope of our operations. As a result of our restructuring plan, in the fourth quarter of 2001 we recorded pretax restructuring costs of $62 million, including (1) $15 million in severance costs; (2) $19 million, primarily associated with a loss on a sublease of excess space arising from the reduction in personnel; and (3) $28 million related to the write-off of capitalized costs relating to development projects no longer deemed viable. We also incurred $142 million of other charges including (1) $85 million related to reserves for guarantees and loan losses; (2) $12 million related to accounts receivable reserves; (3) $13 million related to the write-down of properties held for sale; and (4) $32 million related to the impairment of technology related investments and other write-offs. We have provided below detailed information related to the restructuring costs and other charges, which were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001 as a result of the economic downturn and the unfavorable lodging environment.

2001Restructuring Costs

Severance

Our restructuring plan resulted in the reduction of approximately 1,700 employees across our operations (the majority of which were terminated by December 28, 2001). In 2001, we recorded a workforce reduction charge of

65


$15 million related primarily to severance and fringe benefits. The charge did not reflect amounts billed out separately to owners for property-level severance costs. In addition, we delayed filling vacant positions and reduced staff hours.

Facilities Exit Costs

As a result of the workforce reduction and delay in filling vacant positions, we consolidated excess corporate facilities. We recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $14 million for excess corporate facilities, primarily related to lease terminations and noncancelable lease costs in excess of estimated sublease income. In addition, we recorded a $5 million charge for lease terminations resulting from cancellations of leased units by our corporate apartment business, primarily in downtown New York City.

Development Cancellations and Elimination of Product Line

We incur certain costs associated with the development of properties, including legal costs, the cost of land and planning and design costs. We capitalize these costs as incurred and they become part of the cost basis of the property once it is developed. As a result of the dramatic downturn in the economy in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, we decided to cancel development projects that were no longer deemed viable. As a result, in 2001, we expensed $28 million of previously capitalized costs.

2001 Other Charges

Reserves for Guarantees and Loan Losses

We issue guarantees to lenders and other third parties in connection with financing transactions and other obligations. These guarantees are limited,We also advance loans to some owners of properties that we manage. As a result of the downturn in the aggregate,economy, certain hotels experienced significant declines in profitability and the owners were not able to $231meet debt service obligations to the Company or in some cases, to other third-party lending institutions. As a result, in 2001, based upon cash flow projections, we expected to fund under certain guarantees, which were not deemed recoverable, and we expected that several of the loans made by us would not be repaid according to their original terms. Due to these expected non-recoverable guarantee fundings and expected loan losses, we recorded charges of $85 million at January 2, 1998, including the Marriott International, Inc. Guarantees, with expected funding of zero. New World Development and another affiliate of Dr. Cheng have severally indemnified Marriott International, Inc. for loan guarantees with a maximum funding of $18 million (which are included in the $231 million above) and guarantees by RHGfourth quarter of leases with minimum annual payments2001.

Accounts Receivable – Bad Debts

In the fourth quarter of approximately $59 million. As of January 2, 1998, Marriott International, Inc. had extended approximately $2202001, we reserved $12 million of loan commitments to ownersaccounts receivable which we deemed uncollectible following an analysis of lodging and senior living properties. Lettersthese accounts, generally as a result of credit outstanding on Marriott International, Inc.'s behalf at January 2, 1998, totaled $95 million, of which $38 millionthe unfavorable hotel operating environment.

Asset Impairments

We recorded a charge related to the Company's repurchase obligation for notes receivable originated by Marriott Vacation Club Internationalimpairment of an investment in a technology-related joint venture ($22 million), losses on the anticipated sale of three lodging properties ($13 million), write-offs of investments in management contracts and other assets ($8 million), and the majoritywrite-off of the remainder relatedcapitalized software costs arising from a decision to Marriott International, Inc.'s self-insurance program. Upon consummation of the Spinoff, the Company will replace SMS as guarantor or obligor under the guarantees and commitments, or will indemnify SMSchange a technology platform ($2 million).

The change in auditors was effective May 3, 2002.

Arthur Andersen’s reports on Marriott International’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2001 and December 29, 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 28, 2001 and December 29, 2000 and through May 3, 2002, there were: (i) no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on our consolidated financial statements for such periods; and (ii) there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During each of 2000 and 2001 and through the date of their appointment, Marriott did not consult Ernst & Young with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or any “reportable event,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Since the date of their appointment, there were: (i) no disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Ernst & Young’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2003, December 28, 2001 and December 29, 2000; and (ii) there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
