SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	12 Months Ended Jan. 01, 2010 USD / shares
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Marriott International, Inc. (Marriott, and together with its subsidiaries we, us, or the Company). In accordance with the guidance for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements, references in this report to our earnings per share, net income and shareholders equity attributable to Marriott do not include noncontrolling interests (previously known as minority interests), which we report separately. Please see New Accounting Standards, later in this Footnote No.1 for additional information on this accounting standard, which was adopted in 2009. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods, and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. As a result of the discontinuation of our synthetic fuel business on November3, 2007, the balances and activities of the synthetic fuel reportable segment have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to our 2009 presentation. These reclassifications resulted from communications with the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the income statement presentation of the provision for loan losses associated with our lodging operations in the normal course of business, which we now classify as a component of General, administrative, and other within Operating (loss) income in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and which we previously classified as Provision for loan losses below Operating (loss) income. We made the following reclassifications in our Consolidated Statements of Income of provisions for loan losses that we recognized in 2009, 2008, and 2007 and originally reported in Provision for loan losses: 1. The $42 million provision for loan losses in the 2009 first quarter is now reported in General, administrative, and other expenses, with the result that Operating (loss) income of $82 million as originally reported in the 2009 first quarter, now totals $40 million; 2. The $1 million provision for loan losses that we recognized in the 2009 second quarter is now reported in General, administrative, and other expenses, with the result that Operating (loss) income of $100 million as originally reported in the 2009 second quarter, now totals $99 million; 3. As a result of these two reclassifications, and our 2009 fourth quarter classification of a $3 million reversal of provision for loan losses in General, administrative, and other expenses, we now report our 2009 full year provision for loan losses totaling $40 million in General, administrative, and other expenses; and 4. The provisions for loa

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES	2. INCOME TAXES We adopted the provisions for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, on December30, 2006, the first day of fiscal year 2007. As a result of the implementation, we recorded a $155 million increase in the net liability for unrecognized tax positions, which was recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and additional paid-in-capital on December30, 2006. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of year-end 2009 and year-end 2008 was $249 million and $141 million, respectively. Included in the balances at year-end 2009 and year-end 2008 were $136 million and $87 million, respectively, of tax positions that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The unrecognized tax benefit reconciliation from the beginning balance to the ending balance is as follows: ($ in millions) Amount Unrecognized tax benefit at beginning of year (December 29, 2007) $ 132 Change attributable to tax positions taken during a prior period 92 Change attributable to tax positions taken during the current period 5 Decrease attributable to settlements with taxing authorities (86 ) Decrease attributable to lapse of statute of limitations (2 ) Unrecognized tax benefit at end of year (January 2, 2009) 141 Change attributable to tax positions taken during a prior period 99 Change attributable to tax positions taken during the current period 22 Decrease attributable to settlements with taxing authorities (10 ) Decrease attributable to lapse of statute of limitations (3 ) Unrecognized tax benefit at end of year (January 1, 2010) $ 249 In accordance with our accounting policy, we recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. Our Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended January1, 2010, and our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of that date included interest of $2 million and $28 million, respectively. Our Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended January2, 2009, and our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of that date included interest of $42 million and $29 million, respectively. We file income tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, with federal, state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. We are participating in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Compliance Assurance Program (CAP) for the 2009 and 2008 tax years and we will participate for 2010. This program accelerates the examination of key transactions with the goal of resolving any issues before the tax return is filed. Our federal income tax returns have been examined and we have settled all issues for tax years through 2004. We filed a refund claim relating to 2000 and 2001. The IRS disallowed the claims, and in July 2009, we protested the disallowance. This issue is pending in the IRS Appeals Division. The 2005, 2006, and 2007 field examinations have been completed, and the unresolved issues from those years are now with the IRS Appeals Division. The 2008 and 2009 IRS examinations are ongoing as part of the IRSs Compli

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS-SYNTHETIC FUEL
	12 Months Ended Jan. 01, 2010 USD / shares
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS-SYNTHETIC FUEL	3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS-SYNTHETIC FUEL Our synthetic fuel operations consisted of four coal-based synthetic fuel production facilities (the Facilities). Because tax credits under Section45K of the IRC are not available for the production and sale of synthetic fuel produced from coal after calendar year-end 2007, and because we estimated that high oil prices during 2007 would result in the phaseout of a significant portion of the tax credits available for synthetic fuel produced and sold in 2007, on November3, 2007, we shut down the Facilities and permanently ceased production of synthetic fuel. Accordingly, we now report this business as a discontinued operation. The following tables provide additional income statement and balance sheet information relating to our discontinued synthetic fuel operations. The discontinued synthetic fuel operations reflected in the income statements for 2008 and 2007 only represent activity related to Marriott and there were no noncontrolling interests.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
	12 Months Ended Jan. 01, 2010 USD / shares
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION	4. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Under our 2002 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, we award: (1)stock options to purchase our ClassA Common Stock (Stock Option Program); (2)share appreciation rights (SARs) for our ClassA Common Stock (Stock Appreciation Right Program); (3)restricted stock units of our ClassA Common Stock; and (4)deferred stock units. We grant awards at exercise prices or strike prices that are equal to the market price of our ClassA Common Stock on the date of grant. For all share-based awards, the guidance requires that we measure compensation costs related to our share-based payment transactions at fair value on the grant date and that we recognize those costs in the financial statements over the vesting period during which the employee provides service in exchange for the award. During 2009, we granted 0.8million restricted stock units, 0.5million Employee SARs, 5,600 Non-employee SARs, and 39,000 deferred stock units. See Footnote No.4, Share-Based Compensation in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding grants made in August 2008 that would ordinarily have been made in February 2009, but were accelerated to encourage associate retention in a difficult economic climate. Awards for the most senior executives were not accelerated. We recorded share-based compensation expense related to award grants of $85 million in 2009, $112 million in 2008, and $104 million in 2007. Deferred compensation costs related to unvested awards totaled $122 million at year-end 2009 and $215 million at year-end 2008, and the weighted average period over which we expect the deferred compensation costs at year-end 2009 to be recognized is two years. For awards granted after 2005, we recognize share-based compensation expense over the period from the grant date to the date on which the award is no longer contingent on the employee providing additional service (the substantive vesting period). We continue to follow the stated vesting period for the unvested portion of awards granted prior to fiscal year 2006 and the adoption of the current guidance for share-based compensation and follow the substantive vesting period for awards granted after fiscal year 2005. In accordance with the guidance for share-based compensation, we present the tax benefits and costs resulting from the exercise or vesting of share-based awards as financing cash flows. An $8 million tax cost resulted from the exercise of share-based awards in 2009. Tax benefits resulted from the exercise of share-based awards totaling $21 million in 2008, and $114 million in 2007. The aggregate amount of cash we received from the exercise of stock options granted under share-based payment arrangements was $35 million, $30 million, and $89 million, for 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Restricted Stock Units We issue restricted stock units under the Comprehensive Plan to certain officers and key employees and those units vest generally over four years in annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. We recognize compensation expense for the restricted stock units over the service period equal to the fair market va

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The guidance for fair value measurement defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. The guidance for fair value measurement details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value. We have various financial instruments we must measure at fair value on a recurring basis, including certain marketable securities, derivatives, and residual interests related to our asset securitizations. We also apply the provisions of fair value measurement to various non-recurring measurements for our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities, which included the impairment of a joint venture investment, and two security deposits in the first quarter of 2009, the impairment of Timeshare segment inventory, property and equipment, anticipated fundings in conjunction with certain purchase commitments, and a joint venture investment in the third quarter of 2009, and the impairment of a joint venture investment and an intangible asset in the fourth quarter of 2009. See Footnote No.21, Restructuring Costs and Other Charges, and Footnote No.20, Timeshare Strategy-Impairment Charges, for further information. We measure our assets and liabilities using inputs from the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs). Level 3 includes unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about what factors market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We develop these inputs based on the best information available, including our own data. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the following table shows the fair value as of year-end 2009, of those assets and liabilities that we must measure at fair value on a recurring basis and that we classify as Other current assets, Other assets, Other current liabilities, and Other long-term liabilities: ($ in millions) Fair Value Measurements as of Year-End 2009 Description Balanceat Year-End 2009 Level1 Level2 Level3 Assets: Servicing assets and other residual interests $ 214 $ $ $ 214 Marketable securities 18 18 Derivative instruments 2 2 Li

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS We believe that the fair values of our current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts. The following table shows the carrying values and the fair values of non-current financial assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments, determined in accordance with the guidance for disclosures about fair value of financial instruments.

We estimate the fair value of our long-term notes receivables using various methods, which include discounting cash flows using risk-adjusted rates and applying historical results from our most recent securitization transaction to our unsold notes receivables. The carrying value of our restricted cash approximates its fair value, and we estimate the fair value of our other long-term receivables by discounting future cash flows at risk-adjusted rates. The carrying value of our marketable securities at year-end 2009, of $18 million includes debt securities of the U.S. Government, its sponsored agencies and other U.S. corporations invested for our self-insurance programs. Our residual interests, marketable securities, and restricted cash are included within the Other long-term assets caption on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We estimate the fair value of our long-term debt, excluding leases, using a combination of quoted market prices and expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates. Other long-term liabilities represent guarantee costs and reserves and deposit liabilities. The carrying values of our guarantee costs and reserves approximate their fair values. We estimate the fair value of our deposit liabilities primarily by discounting future payments at a risk adjusted rate. Our residual interests related to our timeshare securitizations, marketable securities, and derivative liabilities are carried at fair value.

We determine dilution based on earnings from continuing operations attributable to Marriott shareholders. As we recorded a loss from continuing operations in 2009, we did not include the following shares in the Effect of dilutive securities caption in the preceding table, because it would have been antidilutive to do so: 7.5million employee stock option and SARs plan shares, 1.4million deferred stock incentive plans shares, or 2.1million restricted stock unit shares. In accordance with the guidance for earnings per share, we have not included the following stock options and SARs in our calculation of diluted earnings per share attributable to Marriott shareholders because the exercise prices were greater than the average market prices for the applicable periods: (a) for 2009, 12.3million options and SARs, with exercise prices ranging from $22.30 to $49.03; (b) for 2008, 3.9million options and SARs, with exercise prices ranging from $31.05 to $49.03; and (c) for 2007, 0.4million options and SARs, with exercise prices ranging from $45.91 to $49.03. We have restated weighted average common and diluted shares to reflect the 2009 second through fourth quarter stock dividends of 0.00360, 0.00370, and 0.00341 shares of common stock, respectively, and adjusted d

INVENTORY	8. INVENTORY Inventory, totaling $1,444 million and $1,981 million as of fiscal year-end 2009 and fiscal year-end 2008, respectively, consists primarily of Timeshare segment interval, fractional ownership, and residential products totaling $1,426 million and $1,959 million as of fiscal year-end 2009, and fiscal year-end 2008, respectively. Inventory totaling $18 million and $22 million as of fiscal year-end 2009, and fiscal year-end 2008, respectively, primarily relates to hotel operating supplies for the limited number of properties we own or lease. We value Timeshare segment interval, fractional ownership, and residential products at the lower of cost or net realizable value and generally value operating supplies at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market. Consistent with recognized industry practice, we classify Timeshare segment interval, fractional ownership, and residential products inventory, which has an operating cycle that exceeds 12 months, as a current asset. Weak economic conditions in the United States, Europe and much of the rest of the world, instability in the financial markets following the 2008 worldwide financial crisis, and weak consumer confidence all contributed to a difficult business environment and resulted in weaker demand for our Timeshare segment products, in particular our luxury residential (or whole ownership) products, but also to a lesser extent our luxury fractional ownership and timeshare products. In 2009, we recorded an inventory impairment charge of $529 million in conjunction with our evaluation of the entire Timeshare portfolio. See Footnote No.20, Timeshare Strategy-Impairment Charges, for additional information.

Interest capitalized as a cost of property and equipment totaled $32 million in 2009, $55 million in 2008, and $49 million in 2007. We capitalize the cost of improvements that extend the useful life of property and equipment when incurred. These capitalized costs may include structural costs, equipment, fixtures, floor, and wall coverings. We expense all repair and maintenance costs as incurred. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (three to 40 years), and we amortize leasehold improvements over the shorter of the asset life or lease term. Depreciation expense totaled $151 million in 2009, $155 million in 2008, and $162 million in 2007.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS	10. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS We made no significant acquisitions or dispositions in 2009. 2008 Acquisitions At year-end 2007, we were party to a venture that developed and marketed fractional ownership and residential products. In 2008, we purchased our partners interest in that joint venture together with additional land. Cash consideration for this transaction totaled $42 million and we acquired assets and liabilities totaling $80 million and $38 million, respectively, on the date of purchase. In 2008, we also purchased real estate for a timeshare project for a total purchase price of approximately $63 million. Cash consideration totaled approximately $39 million, and non-current liabilities recorded as a result of this transaction were $24 million. In addition, in 2008, we purchased real estate for another timeshare project for cash consideration of $47 million. Also in 2008, we purchased units in an existing building for our timeshare operations for cash consideration of approximately $14 million. We also purchased real estate for another timeshare project for $28 million. Cash consideration totaled approximately $27 million, and we acquired assets and liabilities totaling $28 million and $1 million, respectively, on the date of purchase. 2008 Dispositions In 2008, we sold, at book value, two limited-service properties and two land parcels for cash proceeds of $33 million, and we received a $22 million equity interest in the entity that purchased one of the land parcels. We accounted for each of the sales under the full accrual method in accordance with accounting for sales of real estate and each property will continue to operate under our brands pursuant to management or franchise agreements. Also, in 2008, we sold our interest in an entity that leases four hotels. In conjunction with that transaction, we received cash proceeds totaling $5 million, and the sales price of the investment approximated its book value. 2007 Acquisitions During 2007, we acquired one full-service property, one limited-service property, and one extended-stay property for cash consideration of $199 million. These three properties were acquired in conjunction with a land assemblage for a large hotel complex that is still in the formative development stage. In addition, we acquired certain land parcels in 2007 for cash consideration of $52 million. Also during 2007, we acquired the fee simple interest in the improvements of three properties and the leasehold interest in the ground underlying the three properties for cash consideration of $58 million. The purchase included one full-service property and two limited-service properties, which were each sold later in the same year. During the first half of 2007, we were party to a venture that developed and marketed fractional ownership and residential interests. In the second half of 2007, we purchased our partners interest in the joint venture for $6 million. In conjunction with that transaction, we acquired assets and liabilities totaling $90 million and $84 million, respectively, on the date of the purchase. During the first half of 2007, we were party to another venture that was

($ in millions) 2009 2008 Contract acquisition costs and other $ 1,073 $ 1,004 Accumulated amortization (342 ) (294 ) $ 731 $ 710 We capitalize costs incurred to acquire management, franchise, and license agreements that are both direct and incremental. We amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the agreements, ranging from 15 to 30 years. Amortization expense totaled $31 million in 2009 and $35 million for each of 2008 and 2007. Our estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is as follows: $30 million for 2010; $29 million for 2011; $28 million for 2012; $28 million for 2013; and $28 million for 2014. In 2008, following the guidance for uncertainties related to income taxes in a purchase business combination, we recorded a net $46 million reduction of goodwill and a corresponding change to the related net deferred tax liability due to the resolution of tax-related matters and a change in managements estimate of tax basis related to the purchase method of accounting for the Renaissance brand acquisition in 1997.

Total long-term notes receivable as of year-end 2009 and year-end 2008 of $452 million and $830 million, respectively, consist of loans to timeshare owners of $352 million and $607 million, respectively, loans to equity method investees of $10 million and $50 million, respectively, and other notes receivable of $90 million and $173 million, respectively. Notes receivable at year-end 2009 were due to us as follows: $168 million in 2010; $58 million in 2011; $64 million in 2012; $43 million in 2013; $39 million in 2014; and $248 million thereafter. The 2009 notes receivable balance is net of reserves of $210 million and unamortized discounts totaling $16 million. The 2008 notes receivable balance is net of reserves of $148 million and unamortized discounts totaling $21 million. Gains from the sale of notes receivable totaled approximately $37 million, $16 million, and $82 million during 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Senior, Mezzanine, and Other Loans We reflect interest income associated with Senior, mezzanine, and other loans in the Interest income caption in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. For financial statement purposes we do not accrue interest on Senior, mezzanine, and other loans that are impaired. At year-end 2009, our recorded investment in impaired Senior, mezzanine, and other loans was $191 million. We had a $183 million notes receivable reserve representing an allowance for credit losses, leaving $8 million of our investment in impaired loans for which there was no related allowance for credit losses. At year-end 2008, our recorded investment in impaired Senior, mezzanine, and other loans was $157 million. We had a $113 million notes receivable reserve representing an allowance for credit losses, leaving $44 million of our investment in impaired loans for which there was no related allowance for credit losses. During 2009 and 2008, our average investment in impaired loans totaled $174 million and $135 million, respectively. In 2009, we fully reserved two notes receivable balances that we deemed uncollectible, one of which relates to a project that is in development, and partially reserved one notes receivable balance. We recorded a total charge of $43 million in 2009 in the General, administrative, and other expense caption in our Consolidated Statements of Income related to these notes receivable balances.

ASSET SECURITIZATIONS

ASSET SECURITIZATIONS

ASSET SECURITIZATIONS	13. ASSET SECURITIZATIONS We periodically sell, without recourse, through special purpose entities, notes receivable originated by our Timeshare segment in connection with the sale of timeshare interval and fractional products. We continue to service the notes and transfer all proceeds collected to special purpose entities. We retain servicing assets and other interests in the notes and account for these assets and interests as residual interests. The interests are limited to the present value of cash available after paying financing expenses and program fees and absorbing credit losses. The executed transactions typically include minimal cash reserves established at time of sale as well as default and delinquency triggers, which are monitored on a monthly basis. We measure our servicing assets using the fair value method. Under the fair value method, we carry servicing assets on the balance sheet at fair value, and report the changes in fair value, primarily due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions and to the collection or realization of expected cash flows, in earnings in the period in which the change occurs. To determine the fair value of servicing assets, we use a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income, which is based on the monthly fee we receive for servicing the securitized notes. We use market assumptions in the valuation model, including estimates of prepayment speeds, default rates, and discount rates. We have inherent risk for changes in the fair value of the servicing asset but do not deem the risk significant and therefore, do not use other financial instruments to mitigate this risk. The changes in servicing assets for year-end 2008 and year-end 2009, measured using the fair value method were: ($ in millions) Servicing Assets Fair value, beginning of fiscal year 2008 $ 15 Servicing from securitizations 3 Changes in fair value (1) (6 ) Fair value, fiscal year-end 2008 12 Servicing from securitizations 8 Disposals (2) (3 ) Changes in fair value (1) (3 ) Fair value, fiscal year-end 2009 $ 14 (1) Principally represents changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows over time and changes in fair value due to changes in key variables listed below. (2) Represents release of servicing assets related to the repurchase of outstanding note sale pools. At year-end 2009, $1,235 million of principal due from timeshare interval and fractional owners remained outstanding in 13 special purpose entities formed in connection with our timeshare note sales. Delinquencies of more than 90 days amounted to $16 million. The impact to us from delinquencies, and our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with these special purpose entities, is limited to our residual interests and servicing assets, as discussed in Footnote No.5, Fair Value Measurements.

We are party to a multicurrency revolving credit agreement (the Credit Facility) that provides for $2.4 billion of aggregate effective borrowings to support general corporate needs, including working capital and capital expenditures, and letters of credit supported our commercial paper program. The Credit Facility expires on May14, 2012. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a fixed spread. We also pay quarterly fees on the Credit Facility at a rate based on our public debt rating. Until the 2008 fourth quarter, when disruptions in the financial markets significantly reduced liquidity in the commercial paper market, we regularly issued short-term commercial paper primarily in the United States and, to a much lesser extent, in Europe. At that time, we suspended issuing commercial paper and used funds borrowed under the Credit Facility to repay all of our previously issued commercial paper as it matured. Our Standard and Poors commercial paper rating at the end of 2009 was A3. Because the current market for A3 commercial paper is very limited, it would be very difficult to rely on the use of this market as a meaningful source of liquidity, and we do not anticipate issuing commercial paper under these circumstances. We classified outstanding commercial paper as long-term debt based on our ability and intent to refinance it on a long-term basis. We reserved unused capacity under our Credit Facility to repay outstanding commercial paper borrowings in the event that the commercial paper market was not available to us for any reason when outstanding borrowings matured. Given our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, fluctuations in the co

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS	17. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS We adopted the current guidance for disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities on January3, 2009, the first day of our 2009 fiscal year. This guidance enhances the current disclosure framework for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The designation of a derivative instrument as a hedge and its ability to meet the hedge accounting criteria determine how the change in fair value of the derivative instrument will be reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. A derivative qualifies for hedge accounting if, at inception, the derivative is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the underlying hedged cash flows or fair value and the hedge documentation standards are fulfilled at the time we enter into the derivative contract. A hedge is designated as a cash flow hedge, fair value hedge, or a net investment in foreign operations hedge based on the exposure being hedged. The asset or liability value of the derivative will change in tandem with its fair value. Changes in fair value, for the effective portion of qualifying hedges, are recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI). The derivatives gain or loss is released from OCI to match the timing of the underlying hedged cash flows effect on earnings. We review the effectiveness of our hedging instruments on a quarterly basis, recognize current period hedge ineffectiveness immediately in earnings, and discontinue hedge accounting for any hedge that we no longer consider to be highly effective. We recognize changes in fair value for derivatives not designated as hedges or those not qualifying for hedge accounting in current period earnings. Upon termination of cash flow hedges, we release gains and losses from OCI based on the timing of the underlying cash flows, unless the termination results from the failure of the intended transaction to occur in the expected timeframe. Such untimely transactions require us to immediately recognize in earnings gains and losses previously recorded in OCI. Changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity securities expose us to market risk. We manage our exposure to these risks by monitoring available financing alternatives, as well as through development and application of credit granting policies. We also use derivative instruments, including cash flow hedges, net investment in foreign operations hedges, fair value hedges, and other derivative instruments, as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. As a matter of policy, we only enter into transactions that we believe will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying risk, and we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Our use of derivative instruments to manage market risks exposes us to the risk that a counterparty could default on a derivative contract. Our financial instrument counterparties are high-quality investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments. We manage our exposure to counterparty risk by requiring specific minimum credit s

CONTINGENCIES	18. CONTINGENCIES Guarantees We issue guarantees to certain lenders and hotel owners primarily to obtain long-term management contracts. The guarantees generally have a stated maximum amount of funding and a term of three to 10 years. The terms of guarantees to lenders generally require us to fund if cash flows from hotel operations are inadequate 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 the hotels do not attain specified levels of operating profit. Guarantee fundings to lenders and hotel owners are generally recoverable as loans repayable to us out of future hotel cash flows and/or proceeds from the sale of hotels. We also enter into project completion guarantees with certain lenders in conjunction with hotels and Timeshare segment properties that we or our joint venture partners are building. The maximum potential amount of future fundings for guarantees where we are the primary obligor and the carrying amount of the liability for expected future fundings at year-end 2009 are as follows: ($ in millions) Guarantee Type MaximumPotential Amount of Future Fundings LiabilityforExpected Future Fundings at Year-End 2009 Debt service $ 37 $ 3 Operating profit 139 28 Other 103 7 Total guarantees where we are the primary obligor $ 279 $ 38 The liability for expected future fundings at year-end 2009 in our Consolidated Balance Sheet is as follows: $8 million in the Other current liabilities line item and $30 million in the Other long-term liabilities line item. Our guarantees of $279 million listed in the preceding table include $33 million of operating profit guarantees that will not be in effect until the underlying properties open and we begin to operate the properties, $3 million of debt service guarantees that will not be in effect until the underlying debt has been funded, and $8 million of other guarantees. The guarantees of $279 million in the preceding table do not include $171 million of guarantees that we anticipate will expire in the years 2013 and 2014, related to Senior Living Services lease obligations totaling $116 million and lifecare bonds of $55 million for which we are secondarily liable. Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. (Sunrise) is the primary obligor of the leases and $8 million of the lifecare bonds, and CNL Retirement Properties, Inc. (CNL), which subsequently merged with Health Care Property Investors, Inc., is the primary obligor of $45 million of the lifecare bonds. Five Star is the primary obligor of the remainder of the lifecare bonds. Prior to our sale of the Senior Living Services business in 2003, these preexisting guarantees were guarantees by us of obligations of consolidated Senior Living Services subsidiaries. Sunrise and CNL have indemnified us for any guarantee fundings we may be called upon to make in connection with these lease obligations and lifecare bonds. While we currently do not expect to fund under the guarantees, according to recent SEC filings made by Sunrise there has been a si

BUSINESS SEGMENTS We are a diversified hospitality company with operations in five business segments: North American Full-Service Lodging, which includes the Marriott Hotels Resorts, Marriott Conference Centers, JW Marriott, Renaissance Hotels, and Renaissance ClubSport properties located in the continental United States and Canada; North American Limited-Service Lodging, which includes the Courtyard, Fairfield Inn Suites, SpringHill Suites, Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, and Marriott ExecuStay properties located in the continental United States and Canada; International Lodging, which includes the Marriott Hotels Resorts, JW Marriott, Renaissance Hotels, Courtyard, Fairfield Inn Suites, Residence Inn, and Marriott Executive Apartments properties located outside the continental United States and Canada; Luxury Lodging, which includes The Ritz-Carlton and Bulgari Hotels Resorts properties worldwide (together with adjacent residential projects associated with some Ritz-Carlton hotels), as well as EDITION, for which no properties are yet open; and Timeshare, which includes the development, marketing, operation, and sale of Marriott Vacation Club, The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, and Grand Residences by Marriott timeshare, fractional ownership, and residential properties worldwide. In addition to the segments above, we exited the synthetic fuel business in 2007, which we formerly reported as a separate segment but now report under discontinued operations. We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses, interest expense, income taxes, or indirect general, administrative, and other expenses. With the exception of the Timeshare segment, we do not allocate interest income to our segments. Because note sales are an integral part of the Timeshare segment, we include note sale gains or (losses) in our Timeshare segment results. We also include interest income associated with Timeshare segment notes in our Timeshare segment results because financing sales are an integral part of that segments business. Additionally, we allocate other gains or losses, equity in earnings or losses from our joint ventures, divisional general, administrative, and other expenses, and income or losses attributable to noncontrolling interests to each of our segments. Other unallocated corporate represents that portion of our revenues, general, administrative, and other expenses, (which now includes provision for loan losses, as indicated in Footnote No.1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,) equity in earnings or losses, and other gains or losses that are not allocable to our segments. We aggregate the brands presented within our North American Full-Service, North American Limited-Service, International, Luxury, and Timeshare segments considering their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, distribution channels, the regulatory business environment of the brands and operations within each segment and our organizational and management reporting structure.

TIMESHARE STRATEGY - IMPAIRMENT CHARGES	20. TIMESHARE STRATEGY IMPAIRMENT CHARGES In response to the difficult business conditions that the Timeshare segments timeshare, luxury residential, and luxury fractional real estate development businesses continued to experience, we evaluated our entire Timeshare portfolio in the 2009 third quarter. In order to adjust the business strategy to reflect current market conditions at that time, on September22, 2009, we approved plans for our Timeshare segment to take the following actions: (1)for our luxury residential projects, reduce prices, convert certain proposed projects to other uses, sell some undeveloped land, and not pursue further Marriott-funded residential development projects; (2)reduce prices for existing luxury fractional units; (3)continue short-term promotions for our U.S. timeshare business and defer the introduction of new projects and development phases; and (4)for our European timeshare and fractional resorts, continue promotional pricing and marketing incentives and not pursue further development. We designed these plans, which primarily relate to luxury residential and fractional resorts, to stimulate sales, accelerate cash flow, and reduce investment spending. As a result of these decisions, in 2009 we recorded pretax charges totaling $752 million in our Consolidated Statements of Income ($502 million after-tax), including $614 million of pretax charges impacting operating income under the Timeshare strategy-impairment charges caption, and $138 million of pretax charges impacting non-operating income under the Timeshare strategy-impairment charges (non-operating) caption. The $752 million of pretax impairment charges were non-cash, other than $27 million of charges associated with ongoing mezzanine loan fundings and $21 million of charges for purchase commitments that we expected to fund in 2010. Grouped by product type and/or geographic location, these impairment charges consist of $295 million associated with five luxury residential projects, $299 million associated with nine North American luxury fractional projects, $93 million related to one North American timeshare project, $51 million related to the four projects in our European timeshare and fractional business, and $14 million associated with two Asia Pacific timeshare resorts.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER CHARGES

RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER CHARGES	21. RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER CHARGES During the latter part of 2008, we experienced a significant decline in demand for hotel rooms both domestically and internationally as a result, in part, of the failures and near failures of a number of large financial service companies in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the dramatic downturn in the economy. Our capital intensive Timeshare business was also hurt both domestically and internationally by the downturn in market conditions and particularly the significant deterioration in the credit markets, which resulted in our decision not to complete a note sale in the fourth quarter of 2008 (although we did complete a note sale in the first quarter of 2009). These declines resulted in reduced management and franchise fees, cancellation of development projects, reduced timeshare contract sales, and anticipated losses under guarantees and loans. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we put certain company-wide cost-saving measures in place in response to these declines, with individual company segments and corporate departments implementing further cost saving measures. Upper-level management responsible for the Timeshare segment, lodging development, and above-property level management of the various corporate departments and brand teams individually led these decentralized management initiatives. The various initiatives resulted in aggregate restructuring costs of $55 million that we recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008. We also recorded $137 million of other charges in the 2008 fourth quarter. For information regarding the fourth quarter 2008 charges, see Footnote No.20, Restructuring Costs and Other Charges, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2008 (2008 Form 10-K). Restructuring Costs As part of the restructuring actions we began in the fourth quarter of 2008, we initiated further cost savings measures in 2009 associated with our Timeshare segment, hotel development, above-property level management, and corporate overhead. These further measures resulted in additional 2009 restructuring costs of $51 million, which included: (1)$21 million in severance costs related to the reduction of 1,077 employees; (2)$29 million in facilities exit costs; and (3)$1 million related to the write-off of capitalized costs relating to development projects no longer deemed viable. The severance costs do not reflect amounts billed out separately to owners for property-level severance costs. The $21 million of 2009 severance costs consists of (1)$17 million of the expected $19 million in costs that, as disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September11, 2009 (the 2009 Third Quarter Form 10-Q), we incurred through the third quarter of 2009 and expected to incur in the fourth quarter of 2009, and (2)$4 million of incremental costs that we incurred as a result of further cost savings measures we implemented in the 2009 fourth quarter. All of the $29 million of 2009 facilities exit costs reflects the expected $29 million to $30 million in costs that, as disclosed in our 2009 Third Quarter Form 10-Q, we incurred through the third quarter of 2009 and expected to incur in th

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES	22. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES In accordance with the guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, we analyze our variable interests, including loans, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if the entity in which we have a variable interest is a variable interest entity. Our analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews. We base our quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity, and our qualitative analysis on our review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and financial agreements. We also use our quantitative and qualitative analyses to determine if we must consolidate a variable interest entity as the primary beneficiary. We have an equity investment in and a loan receivable due from a variable interest entity that develops and markets fractional ownership and residential interests, and we consolidate the entity because we are the primary beneficiary. We concluded that the entity is a variable interest entity because the voting rights are not proportionate to the economic interests. The loan we provided to the entity replaced the original senior loan, and at year-end 2009, had a principal balance of $88 million and an accrued interest balance of $3 million. The variable interest entity uses the loan facility to fund its net cash flow. The loans outstanding principal balance increased by $20 million compared to year-end 2008. At year-end 2009, the carrying amount of consolidated assets included within our Consolidated Balance Sheet that are collateral for the variable interest entitys obligations totaled $40 million and comprised $34 million of real estate held for development, property, equipment, and other assets and $6 million of cash. Further, at year-end 2009, the carrying amount of the consolidated liabilities and noncontrolling interests included within our Consolidated Balance Sheets for this variable interest entity totaled $13 million and the noncontrolling interest was reduced to zero. The creditors of this entity do not have general recourse to our credit. We have contracted to purchase the noncontrolling interest in the entity for less than $1 million. The acquisition will occur in stages, and commenced with our initial acquisition of 3 percent of the noncontrolling interest in the entity that occurred during the 2009 third quarter. The acquisition is expected to be completed in the 2010 third quarter. Our Timeshare segment uses several special purpose entities to maintain ownership of real estate in certain jurisdictions in order to facilitate sales within the Asia Pacific Points Club (the Asia Club). In 2009, we established a special purpose entity to maintain ownership of real estate for sale of a Portfolio membership in The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club (RCDC Club). Although we have no equity ownership in the Asia or RCDC Clubs themselves, we absorb the variability in the assets of the Asia or RCDC Clubs to the extent that inventory has not been sold to the ultimate Asia or RCDC Club member. The Asia and RCDC Clubs are variable interest entities because the equity investment at risk is not suf
