CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

Year-to-Date Ended September 9, 2005 and September 10, 2004

(unaudited, in millions)

Supplemental disclosure of noncash investing and financing activities:

Through year-to-date September 9, 2005 and September 10, 2004, we issued approximately 1.0 million shares and 1.4 million shares, respectively, of common stock upon the conversion of operating partnership units of Host Marriott, L.P. held by minority partners valued at approximately $16.1 million and $17.6 million, respectively.

On January 3, 2005, we transferred $47 million of preferred units of Vornado Realty Trust, which we had purchased on December 30, 2004, in redemption of a minority partner’s interest in a consolidated partnership.

On January 6, 2005, we sold the Hartford Marriott at Farmington for a purchase price of approximately $25 million, including the assumption of approximately $20 million of mortgage debt by the buyer.

See notes to condensed consolidated statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	Organization

Host Marriott Corporation, a Maryland corporation operating through an umbrella partnership structure, is the owner of hotel properties. We operate as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, with our operations conducted solely through Host Marriott, L.P., or the operating partnership, or Host LP, and its subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of the operating partnership and as of September 9, 2005, owned approximately 95% of the partnership interests in the operating partnership, which are referred to as OP units.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 9, 2005 and the results of our operations for the quarter and year-to-date ended September 9, 2005 and September 10, 2004 and our cash flows for the year-to-date ended September 9, 2005 and September 10, 2004. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

Revenues

Our results of operations primarily reflect revenues of our hotels, which are recognized when the services are rendered.

Reporting Periods

The results we report in our consolidated statement of operations are based on results reported to us by our hotel managers. These hotel managers use different reporting periods. Marriott International, Inc., the manager of the majority of our properties, uses a fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to December 31 and reports twelve weeks of operations for the first three quarters of the year and sixteen or seventeen weeks for the fourth quarter of the year for its Marriott-managed hotels. In contrast, other managers of our hotels, such as Hyatt, report results on a monthly basis. For results reported by hotel managers using a monthly reporting period (approximately one-fourth of our full-service hotels), the month of operation that ends after our fiscal quarter-end is included in our results of operations in the following fiscal quarter. Accordingly, our results of operations include results from hotel managers reporting results on a monthly basis as follows: first quarter (January, February), second quarter (March to May), third quarter (June to August), and fourth quarter (September to December). We elected to adopt the reporting period used by Marriott International modified so that our fiscal year always ends on December 31. Accordingly, our first three quarters of operations end on the same day as Marriott International but our fourth quarter ends on December 31.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes reserves for debt service, real estate taxes, insurance, furniture and fixtures as well as cash collateral and excess cash flow deposits which are the result of mortgage debt agreement restrictions and provisions.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment Replacement Fund

We maintain a furniture, fixtures and equipment replacement fund for renewal and replacement capital expenditures at certain hotels, which is generally funded with approximately 5% of property revenues.

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation

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

Application of New Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” or FAS 123R, which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Employee share purchase plans will not result in recognition of compensation cost if certain conditions are met; those conditions are much the same as the related conditions in FAS 123. The provisions of FAS 123R are effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. We adopted the fair value provisions of FAS 123 in 2002 and, therefore, have recognized the costs associated with all share-based

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

payment awards granted after January 1, 2002. The adoption of FAS 123R in 2006 will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

During November 2004, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, on EITF Consensus Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share.” EITF 04-8 requires contingently convertible debt instruments to be included in diluted earnings per share, if dilutive, regardless of whether a market price contingency for the conversion of the debt into common shares or any other contingent factor has been met. Prior to this consensus, such instruments were excluded from the calculation until one or more of the contingencies were met. EITF 04-8 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004 and requires restatement of prior period earnings per share amounts. As a result, we have restated our diluted earnings (loss) per share to include, if dilutive, the common shares that are issuable from the conversion of the Exchangeable Senior Debentures. The adoption of EITF 04-8 had no effect on previously issued 2004 quarterly or annual earnings (loss) per share amounts.

3.	Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders as adjusted for potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive stock plans, preferred OP units held by minority partners, other minority interests that have the option to convert their interests to our common OP units, the Convertible Subordinated Debentures and the Exchangeable Senior Debentures. No effect is shown for securities that are anti-dilutive.

Debt

During the third quarter, we exchanged all of our $650 million 6³/8% Series N senior notes for our 6³/8% Series O senior notes. The terms of the Series O senior notes are substantially identical in all material aspects, except that the Series O senior notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are therefore, freely transferable by the holders.

The following table summarizes significant debt transactions since the beginning of 2005 (in millions):


Transaction Date	Description of Transaction	Transaction Amount
May 2005	Prepayment of the 9% mortgage debt on two Ritz-Carlton hotels	$	(140	)

January 2005	8.35% mortgage on the Hartford Marriott at Farmington assumed by buyer		(20	)

(a)

Approximately $11 million of financing costs related to the debt issuance were deferred and will be amortized over the life of the debt.

As a result of the repayment transactions described above, we incurred $30 million of interest expense during 2005 for the call premiums and the acceleration of deferred financing costs and original issue discounts.

5.	Preferred Stock Redemption

On May 20, 2005, we redeemed, at par, all four million shares of our 10% Class B Cumulative Preferred stock, or Class B preferred stock, for approximately $101 million, including accrued dividends. The fair value of our Class B preferred stock (which is equal to the redemption price) exceeded the carrying value of the preferred stock by approximately $4 million. The $4 million represents the original issuance costs.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Accordingly, this amount has been reflected in the determination of net income available to common stockholders for the purpose of calculating our basic and diluted earnings per share.

6.	Dividends

On September 16, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.11 per share for our common stock. The dividend was paid on October 17, 2005 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2005.

Additionally, on September 16, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.625 per share for our Class C preferred stock and a cash dividend of $0.5546875 per share for our Class E preferred stock. The dividends were paid on October 17, 2005 to preferred stockholders of record as of September 30, 2005.

7.	Geographic Information

We consider each one of our full-service hotels to be an operating segment, none of which meets the threshold for a reportable segment. We also allocate resources and assess operating performance based on individual hotels. All of our non-full-service hotel activities (primarily our limited-service leased hotels and office buildings) are immaterial. Accordingly, we report one business segment, hotel ownership. As of September 9, 2005, our foreign operations consist of four properties located in Canada and one property located in Mexico. There were no intercompany sales between our domestic properties and our foreign properties. The following table presents revenues for each of the geographical areas in which we operate:

9.	Discontinued Operations

Assets Held for Sale.During the third quarter, we entered into a definitive, binding agreement to sell Charlotte Marriott Executive Park, which was subsequently sold on October 7, 2005. We reclassified the assets and liabilities relating to this hotel and four hotels sold in the first quarter of 2005 as of September 9, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, as detailed in the following table:

Subsequent Event

On September 30, 2005, we acquired the 834-room Hyatt Regency, Washington, D.C. on Capitol Hill for a purchase price of approximately $274 million.

On October 7, 2005, we sold the 297-room Charlotte Marriott Executive Park, which is classified as held-for-sale at September 9, 2005, for total proceeds of approximately $21 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $7 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Host Marriott Corporation is a Maryland corporation and operates as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT. Host Marriott Corporation owns properties and conducts operations through Host Marriott, LP, a Delaware limited partnership of which Host Marriott Corporation is the sole general partner and in which it holds 95% of the partnership interests. In this report, we use the terms “we” or “our” to refer to Host Marriott Corporation and Host Marriott, L.P. together, unless the context indicates otherwise. We also use the term “HMC” to specifically refer to Host Marriott Corporation and the terms “operating partnership” or “Host LP” to refer to Host Marriott, L.P. in cases where it is important to distinguish between HMC and Host LP.

Quarterly Summary

As of October 17, 2005, we own 107 full-service hotel properties, which operate primarily in the luxury and upper-upscale hotel sectors. For a general overview of our business, see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our Outlook. We believe that lodging demand will continue to grow through the remainder of 2005, which should improve occupancy levels while allowing our managers to continue to increase room rates at our hotels. In the third quarter of 2005, RevPAR for our comparable hotels increased 8.0% over the same period last year. Based on a September 30 calendar quarter end, our comparable hotel RevPAR increased 9.5% over the third quarter 2004. See discussion of our Reporting Periods in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. RevPAR is defined as the product of the average of the daily room rates charged and the average daily occupancy achieved and is generally considered a key performance indicator for hotels. Improvements in RevPAR at our comparable hotels for the third quarter of 2005 were driven by a 6.3% increase in average room rate and a 1.2 percentage point increase in occupancy. This is a result of a number of positive trends such as strong United States GDP growth, low supply growth of new upper-upscale and luxury hotels and the strengthening in the group and transient segments of our business. As a result of these trends, we expect comparable hotel RevPAR to increase approximately 8% to 9% for full year 2005 and an additional 7% to 9% for full year 2006.

We expect the supply growth of upper-upscale and luxury hotels to continue to be low for the next two to three years. Although always subject to uncertainty, supply growth is relatively easier to forecast than demand growth due to the long permit, approval and development lead-times associated with building new full-service hotels or expanding existing full-service hotels. Based on data provided by Lodging Econometrics, upper-upscale and luxury hotel supply growth in the U.S. is expected to increase by approximately 1.5% and 1.6% in 2006 and 2007, respectively. We believe that, based on a review of forecast supply growth in the specific geographic markets where we have hotels, supply growth of hotels potentially competitive with our hotels will be slightly lower than the Lodging Econometrics forecasts.

The performance of our portfolio is also significantly affected by the results of our large hotels, including our convention hotels, the majority of which are located in major urban markets. Convention hotels have historically outperformed in the early stages of an industry downturn; however, they also lag the industry in performance in the early stages of recovery. This is primarily due to the longer booking lead-time for large group business and the need for transient demand in a market to recover to more substantial levels given a greater capacity of rooms. Recently, we have started to see significant improvement in the operations of our convention hotels in certain markets, such as New York, while our large hotels in weaker markets, such as Boston, continue to lag the portfolio. We expect increasing demand to continue to improve operations at our large convention hotels as markets strengthen, which should positively affect margin and RevPAR growth.

We assess profitability by measuring changes in our operating margins, which are calculated as operating profit as a percentage of total revenues. Operating margins improved during the third quarter, as the average room rate increases at our hotels exceeded the rate of inflation, which is a trend we expect to continue. Operating margins continue to be affected, however, by certain costs, primarily wages, benefits, utilities and sales and marketing, which increased at a rate greater than inflation, a trend that we expect to continue in the near term. We expect utility costs to increase by over 10% in 2006, although these costs represent only approximately 3.5% of our revenues. Additionally, as a result of the large-scale devastation due to hurricanes this year, we expect that insurance costs will also increase in 2006 at a rate that exceeds inflation.

Operating margins are also affected by our food and beverage operations which historically represent approximately 32% of our comparable hotel revenues. During the third quarter, food and beverage revenue growth at our comparable hotels was 6.3%, with a food and beverage margin increase of 1.3 percentage points. As the economy continues to grow, we expect food and beverage revenue to continue to increase, in particular catering revenue, which should result in further improvement in our operating margins.

We also expect to see improvements in RevPAR and operating margins as we continue our strategy of recycling assets. Over the past two years, we have acquired upper-upscale and luxury properties in urban and resort/convention locations, where further large-scale lodging development typically is limited, and have disposed of assets in suburban and secondary markets. The assets we have acquired have higher RevPAR, higher margins and, we believe, higher growth potential than those we have sold. Over time, these assets should contribute to improvements in overall RevPAR and margins, as well as an increase in the average per room replacement cost of our portfolio.

While we believe the combination of improving demand trends and low supply trends in the lodging industry discussed here and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K creates the opportunity for improvements in our business in 2005, there can be no assurances that any increases in hotel revenues or earnings at our properties will continue for any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, slower than anticipated growth in the economy and changes in travel patterns.

Recent Events

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, causing wind and water damage to our 1,290-room New Orleans Marriott; however, the property was not damaged by the subsequent large-scale flooding in the city. Approximately 800 rooms of the hotel have been re-opened as of October 17, 2005 and we are working to repair the remaining portion of the hotel. The operations of the hotel have been, and will continue to be, affected by the large-scale devastation throughout New Orleans. As a result of the widespread damage to the New Orleans Superdome, convention center and other businesses, it is unlikely that operations will return to historical levels for a period of time.

Our insurance coverage for the property entitles us to receive payments for business interruption, as well as recoveries for damage to the building as a result of the hurricane. Income resulting from business interruption insurance will not be recognized until all contingencies are resolved. The total extent of the property damage and loss of business has not been determined at this time. We expect that insurance proceeds will be sufficient to cover substantially all of the property damage to the hotel and the near-term loss of business. The overall effect of the hurricane on our third quarter operations, which ended September 9, was not significant.

On September 25, 2005, which is in our fourth quarter, Hurricane Rita made landfall in Louisiana and Texas. We did not sustain any property damage at our three hotels in Houston as a result of the hurricane; however, we did

experience some loss of business due to cancellations and evacuations. We do not believe the overall effect of the hurricane on our fourth quarter will be significant.

On September 30, 2005, we purchased the 834-room Hyatt Regency, Washington D.C. on Capitol Hill for a purchase price of approximately $274 million. The acquisition was financed with available cash.

On October 7, 2005, we sold the 297-room Charlotte Executive Park Marriott for $21 million. During the third quarter we reclassified the assets and liabilities of the hotel as held-for-sale. We will record a gain of approximately $7 million on the sale in the fourth quarter 2005.

Currently, we have $3.1 billion of senior notes outstanding, $250 million of preferred stock and $492 million of Convertible Preferred Securities that are rated by Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s. On October 13, 2005, Moody’s upgraded our senior note debt from a Ba3 rating to a Ba2 rating, our preferred stock from a B2 rating to a B1 rating and our Convertible Preferred Securities from a B2 rating to a Ba3 rating. Standard and Poor’s current rating on our senior debt is B+ and the ratings on our preferred stock and Convertible Preferred Securities are CCC+.

2005 Compared to 2004

Hotel Sales Overview. Hotel sales increased $59 million, or 7.8%, to $819 million for the third quarter of 2005 and increased $193 million, or 8.1%, to $2,571 million year-to-date. Hotel sales include approximately $38 million and $20 million for the third quarter 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $96 million and $22 million for year-to-date 2005 and 2004, respectively, of sales from hotels acquired in 2004. Sales for properties sold in 2005 or 2004 or classified as held-for-sale as of September 9, 2005 have been reclassified as discontinued operations on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. See “Discontinued Operations” below.

Comparable hotel sales increased 7.5% to $764 million, for the quarter and 7.4% to $2,412 million year-to-date. The growth in revenues reflects the increase in comparable RevPAR of 8.0% for the third quarter of 2005, as a result of an increase in average room rates of 6.3% and an increase in occupancy of 1.2 percentage points. The year-to-date revenue growth reflects the increase in comparable RevPAR of 9.1%, as a result of an increase in average room rates of 7.5% and an increase in occupancy of 1.1 percentage points. Food and beverage revenues for our comparable hotels increased 6.3% for the quarter and 5.2% year-to-date, primarily due to an increase in catering and outlet revenues.

We discuss operating results for our full-service hotels on a comparable basis. Comparable hotels are those properties that we have owned for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared. Comparable hotels do not include the results of properties acquired or sold, or that incurred significant property damage and business interruption or large scale capital improvements during these periods. As of September 9, 2005, 99 of our 107 full-service hotels have been classified as comparable hotels. The following discussion is of the sales results of our comparable hotels considering the mix of business (i.e. transient, group or contract), property type (i.e. urban, suburban, resort/convention or airport) and geographic region. See “Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics” for a complete description of our comparable hotels and further detail on these classifications.

Comparable Hotel Sales by Customer Mix. Our hotel customers consist of three broad groups: transient, group and contract business. Similar to the majority of the lodging industry, we further categorize business within these segments based on characteristics they have in common as follows:

Transient demand broadly represents individual business or leisure travelers and is divided into four key sub-categories: premium, corporate, special corporate and discount.

•

Premium: this rate, sometimes referred to as “rack rate,” typically consists of rooms booked close to arrival during high demand periods and is the highest rate category available. Room rates will fluctuate depending on anticipated demand levels, e.g. seasonality, weekday vs. weekend stays, etc.

•

Corporate: this is the benchmark rate which a hotel publishes and offers to the general public. It is typically the second highest category, and is for travelers that do not have access to negotiated or discount rates.

•

Special Corporate: this rate is a negotiated rate offered to companies and organizations that provide significant levels of room night demand to the hotel. These rates are typically negotiated annually, at a discount to the anticipated corporate rate.

•

Discount: this encompasses all discount programs, such as AAA and AARP discounts, government per diem, rooms booked through internet distribution and wholesale channels, frequent guest program redemptions, and promotional rates and packages offered by a hotel.

Group demand represents clusters of guestrooms booked together, usually with a minimum of 10 rooms. Examples include a company training session or a social event such as a family reunion. Group business is segmented into the following three key sub-categories:

•

Association: Group business related to national and regional association meetings and conventions.

•

Corporate: Group business related to corporate meetings, e.g. product launches, training programs, contract negotiations, and presentations.

•

Other: Group business predominately related to social, military, education, religious, fraternity and youth and amateur sports teams, otherwise known as SMERF business.

The final segment is contract demand, which refers to blocks of rooms sold to a specific company for an extended period of time at significantly discounted rates. Contract rates are usually utilized by hotels that are located in markets that are experiencing consistently low levels of demand. Airline crews are typical generators of contract demand for our hotels.

Demand remained strong in the third quarter of 2005, enabling our operators to significantly increase average daily room rates, particularly in the premium and corporate transient segments. For our comparable Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels, which represent 86% of our total comparable rooms, premium and corporate average daily rates increased 9.6% and 12.8% for the third quarter and year-to-date, respectively, compared to last year. Our overall transient average room rate for these hotels increased 8.1% and 9.5% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. We expect that increased levels of transient demand will enable our managers to continue rate increases throughout the remainder of 2005 and into 2006.

Total group room revenue for our comparable Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels was up 0.7% for the quarter and 5.2% year-to-date compared to last year, primarily due to an increase in average room rates of approximately 3.4% and 4.7% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Room rates for groups are continuing to improve in 2005 and should continue to improve in 2006, as a lower percentage of group business would have been booked for those periods in 2004 or earlier when room rates were significantly lower than those our managers are able to currently charge. Group booking pace is up only modestly for the remainder of the year, reflecting our managers’ strategy of keeping more rooms available for the higher-rated transient segments.

Comparable Hotel Sales by Property Type.For the third quarter of 2005, revenues increased significantly across all of our hotel property types. Our urban hotels continue to perform well thus far in 2005, with comparable hotel RevPAR growth of 7.4% to $131.96 and 9.7% to $136.69 for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. The significant increase in comparable hotel RevPAR at our urban properties was primarily driven by the increases in average room rate of 5.7% and 7.4% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, while average occupancy improved by 1.2 and 1.6 percentage points for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Our resort/convention hotels had comparable hotel RevPAR growth of 6.3% to $131.68 and 7.4% to $162.49 for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, and average room rate growth of 8.1% and 7.8% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Our airport hotels experienced comparable hotel RevPAR increases of 9.8% and 8.0% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, which reflected average room rate increases of 7.0% and 7.4% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Our suburban hotels experienced comparable hotel

RevPAR increases of 10.2% and 9.3% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, which reflected average room rate increases of 7.2% and 7.7% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.

Comparable Hotel Sales by Geographic Region.During the third quarter, the majority of our geographic regions experienced strong growth in comparable hotel RevPAR with the DC Metro, Pacific and Mountain regions all experiencing double-digit growth rates. Year-to-date, comparable hotel RevPAR increased in all of our geographic regions.

Our DC Metro region had comparable hotel RevPAR increases of 14.7% for the quarter and 15.3% year-to-date. The improvement was the result of the continued strong performance of our urban hotels, such as the Metro Center Marriott, which benefited from solid group and business transient demand. Overall, comparable hotel RevPAR increases for the region reflected average room rate increases of 11.1% for both the quarter and year-to-date, and average occupancy increases of 2.4 and 2.8 percentage points for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.

Our Pacific region had a comparable hotel RevPAR increase of 11.3% for the quarter and 9.8% year-to-date. The region was led by our five Los Angeles hotels, where RevPAR increased 18.0% for the quarter and 13.0% year-to-date. Additionally, for the quarter and year-to-date, the San Francisco market had comparable hotel RevPAR increases of 10.5% and 8.1%, respectively, and the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa had a comparable hotel RevPAR increase of 20.0% for the quarter.

Our Mountain region experienced a comparable hotel RevPAR increase of 14.4% and 13.6% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. The Denver market experienced comparable hotel RevPAR increases of 16.6% and 13.9% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, led by comparable hotel RevPAR increases at the Denver Tech Center Marriott of 27.9% for the quarter.

Comparable hotel RevPAR for our Mid-Atlantic region increased 8.0% for the quarter and 11.6% year-to-date, which was driven by comparable hotel RevPAR growth of 13.9% and 17.4% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, at our three New York City hotels. Strong group, transient and international demand has strengthened the performance in the New York market.

Comparable hotel RevPAR in our Florida region grew by 5.5% for the quarter and 8.4% year-to-date as a result of comparable hotel RevPAR increases in our Tampa and Miami hotels of 12.9% and 20.7%, respectively, for the quarter and 12.6% and 15.1%, respectively, year-to-date. These increases were partially offset by declines in comparable hotel RevPAR at the Orlando World Center Marriott due to a decrease in both group and transient bookings.

Our Atlanta region was the only region to experience a decline in RevPAR for the quarter. The 3.7% decrease reflected the weak convention and group demand in the region. Year-to-date, RevPAR in the region is up 2.5%.

Comparable hotel RevPAR for our New England region increased 1.6% during the quarter and 1.3% year-to-date. Our Boston market continues to underperform our entire portfolio, as comparable hotel RevPAR increased 2.6% for the quarter and 2.7% year-to-date. The weak operating results were primarily the result of reduced demand at the Boston Copley Marriott. Performance in this region should improve over time, based on expected increases in convention activity in 2006 and overall improvements in the Boston economy.

The North Central region of our portfolio experienced increases in comparable hotel RevPAR of 8.3% for the quarter and 5.9% for year-to-date as average room rates increased 7.7% for the quarter and 8.3% year-to-date.

The comparable hotel results in our South Central region, which includes Texas and Louisiana, was not significantly affected by Hurricane Katrina for the quarter, as the hurricane occurred in the final two weeks of the quarter. RevPAR in the region grew by 8.5% for the quarter and 7.1% year-to-date, driven primarily by strong increases in occupancy and average room rate at our three properties in Houston.

Comparable hotel RevPAR for our international properties increased 10.8% and 8.1% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Our four Canadian properties, three of which are in Toronto, experienced increases in comparable hotel RevPAR of 13.1% and 10.0% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.

Property-level Operating Costs. Property-level operating costs and expenses increased $36 million, or 5.0%, from the third quarter of 2004 and increased $115 million, or 5.3%, year-to-date. Property-level operating costs and expenses exclude the costs for hotels we have sold and held for sale, which are included in discontinued operations. Our operating costs and expenses, which are both fixed and variable, are affected by changes in occupancy, inflation and revenues, though the effect on specific costs will differ. For example, utility costs increased 14.2% and 11.6% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, primarily due to increases in oil and gas prices, while the increase in management fees of 17.2% and 14.3% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, were a direct result of the growth in the revenues and profitability of our properties. We expect to continue to see an increase in operating costs during the remainder of 2005 as a result of variable costs increasing with occupancy increases, and certain costs increasing at a rate above inflation, particularly energy prices, which we expect to increase further due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Corporate and Other Expenses.Corporate and other expenses primarily consist of employee salaries and bonuses and other costs such as employee stock-based compensation expense, corporate insurance, audit fees, building rent and system costs. Corporate expenses decreased by $2 million, or 11.1%, for the third quarter primarily due to a decrease in our restricted stock expense, which is marked-to-market and, therefore, will fluctuate depending on the price of our common stock. However, year-to-date corporate expenses increased by $2 million, or 4.7%, due to an increase in compensation expense.

Interest Income.Interest income increased $2 million for the third quarter and $9 million year-to-date, primarily due to increased cash and restricted cash balances and increases in the interest rate earned on those balances.

Interest Expense.Interest expense decreased $14 million for the third quarter and $39 million year-to-date as a result of the decrease in our interest obligations from 2004 and 2005 debt repayments and refinancings, as well as a decline in the amount of prepayment penalties associated with debt repayments and refinancings. Specifically, interest expense includes $30 million for year-to-date 2005 and $54 million for year-to-date 2004 for the call premiums and the acceleration of deferred financing costs and original issue discounts associated with debt prepayments. We had no debt prepayments or refinancings during the third quarter of 2005; however, during the third quarter of 2004, we had $13 million of additional interest expense as a result of debt prepayments and refinancings. These declines in interest expense, however, were partially offset by increased interest rates for our variable rate debt.

Net Gains on Property Transactions.Net gains on property transactions increased $67 million year-to-date, primarily due to the second quarter pre-tax gain of $70 million on the sale of 85% of our interest in CBM Joint Venture LLC and decreased $5 million for the third quarter due to the recognition of deferred gains in 2004 from the sale of a portfolio of Fairfield Inns by Marriott.

Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency and Derivative Contracts.The year-to-date gain on foreign currency and derivative contracts is primarily due to the $1 million change in fair value from the foreign currency exchange contracts for two of our Canadian hotels.

Minority Interest Income (Expense). As of September 9, 2005, we held approximately 95% of the partnership interests in Host LP. The increase in our minority interest expense for 2005 is due to the increase in the net income for certain of our consolidated partnerships that are partially owned by third parties and the increase in the income of Host LP.

Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Affiliates.Equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates increased by $4 million for the third quarter and $11 million year-to-date due to the earnings of CBM Joint Venture LP, which had recorded net losses throughout 2004 and the sale of 85% of our interest in the partnership.

Discontinued Operations. Discontinued operations consist of one hotel classified as held for sale in the third quarter of 2005, four hotels sold in the first quarter of 2005 and nine hotels sold in 2004 and represent the results of operations and the gain or loss on their disposition. For year-to-date 2005 and 2004, revenues for these properties were $9 million and $104 million, respectively, and income before taxes was $1 million and $9 million, respectively. For the third quarter 2005 and 2004, revenues for theses properties were $3 million and $28 million,

respectively, and income before taxes was $0 million and $2 million, respectively. We recognized a gain, net of tax, of $12 million and $20 million for year-to-date 2005 and 2004, respectively, on the disposition of these hotels.

Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics

We present certain operating statistics (i.e., RevPAR, average daily rate and average occupancy) and operating results (revenues, expenses and adjusted operating profit) for the periods included in this report on a comparable hotel basis. We define our comparable hotels as full-service properties (i) that are owned or leased by us and the operations of which are included in our consolidated results, whether as continuing operations or discontinued operations for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared and (ii) that have not sustained substantial property damage or business interruption, or undergone large-scale capital projects during the reporting periods being compared. Of the 107 full-service hotels that we owned on September 9, 2005, 99 have been classified as comparable hotels. The operating results of the following eight hotels that we owned as of September 9, 2005 are excluded from comparable hotel results for these periods:

•

Memphis Marriott (construction of a 200-room expansion started in 2003 and completed in 2004);

•

Embassy Suites Chicago Downtown-Lakefront Hotel (acquired in April 2004);

•

Fairmont Kea Lani Maui (acquired in July 2004);

•

Newport Beach Marriott Hotel (major renovation started in July 2004);

•

Mountain Shadows Resort (temporarily closed in September 2004);

•

Scottsdale Marriott at McDowell Mountains (acquired in September 2004);

•

Atlanta Marquis (major renovation started in August 2005); and

•

New Orleans Marriott (property damage and business interruption from Hurricane Katrina in August 2005).

In addition, the operating results of the 13 hotels we disposed of in 2005 and 2004 are also not included in comparable hotel results for the periods presented herein. Moreover, because these statistics and operating results are for our full-service hotel properties, they exclude results for our non-hotel properties and leased limited-service hotels.

We evaluate the operating performance of our comparable hotels based on both geographic region and property type. These divisions are generally consistent with industry data provided by hospitality research firms such as Smith Travel Research. For further discussion of our geographic regions and property types see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following tables set forth performance information for our comparable full-service hotels by geographic region for the third quarter and year-to-date of 2005 and 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements

HMC uses cash primarily for acquisitions, capital expenditures, debt payment and dividends to stockholders. As a REIT, HMC is required to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its taxable income. Funds used by HMC to make these distributions are provided from Host LP. We depend primarily on external sources of capital to finance future growth.

Cash Balances. As of September 9, 2005, we had $402 million of cash and cash equivalents, which was an increase of $55 million from December 31, 2004. The increase is primarily attributable to the net proceeds from the sale of four hotels in January and the sale of 85% of our interest in CBM Joint Venture LLC in March. Our cash balances have been in excess of the $100 million to $150 million that we have historically maintained. With the flexibility and capacity provided by our credit facility and the continuing growth of the economy, we expect to lower our cash balances to previous levels over the next several quarters. In furtherance of this goal, the purchase of the Hyatt Regency, Washington, D.C. on Capitol Hill on September 30, 2005 for approximately $274 million was financed with available cash.

As of September 9, 2005, we also had $165 million of cash which was restricted as a result of lender requirements (including reserves for debt service, real estate taxes, insurance, as well as cash collateral and excess cash flow deposits). The restricted cash balance includes $68 million and $37 million as of September 9, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, which are held in escrow in accordance with restrictive debt covenant requirements (see “Mortgage Debt” below). The conditions necessary to release these escrowed funds were met at the end of the third quarter and we expect that all of these escrowed funds will be released in the fourth quarter. The restricted cash balances do not have a significant effect on our liquidity. We have approximately $195 million of debt that will mature prior to 2007. However, $88 million of this debt can be extended for three one-year terms if certain conditions are met. We also have scheduled principal repayments totaling approximately $18 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. We believe we have sufficient cash, or availability under our line of credit, to deal with our near-term maturities, as well as any decline in the cash flow from our business.

On October 14, 2005, we drew approximately $100 million of our available capacity on our credit facility to retire the remaining mortgage on our Canadian properties and for general corporate purposes. We intend to repay these amounts during the fourth quarter with the release of the restricted cash discussed above and available cash.

Reducing future interest payments and leverage remains a key management priority. We may continue to redeem or refinance senior notes, our Convertible Subordinated Debentures and mortgage debt from time to time to take advantage of favorable market conditions. We may purchase senior notes and Convertible Subordinated Debentures for cash through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, a tender offer or, in some cases, through the early redemption of such securities pursuant to their terms. Repurchases of debt, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. Any refinancing or retirement before the maturity date would affect earnings and FFO per diluted share, as defined below, as a result of the payment of any applicable call premiums and the acceleration of previously deferred financing costs. For year-to-date 2005, we incurred interest expense resulting from the payment of call premiums of $27 million and the acceleration of deferred financing costs totaling $3 million.

Capital Expenditures. As of September 9, 2005, our renewal and replacement capital expenditures were approximately $147 million. We expect total renewal and replacement capital expenditures for 2005 to be approximately $250 million to $270 million. Our renewal and replacement capital expenditures are generally funded by the furniture, fixture and equipment funds established at certain of our hotels (typically funded with approximately 5% of property revenues) and by our available cash.

For year-to-date 2005, we spent approximately $46 million in repositioning/return on investment (ROI) projects. These projects include, for example, expanding ballroom, spa or conference facilities. We expect to spend a total of approximately $110 million to $130 million on these projects which have historically generated strong returns. The 2005 expenditures include costs from the extensive renovation and repositioning of the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and the development of an exhibit hall for the Marriott Orlando World Center hotel. In addition to these on-going projects, we expect to spend $200 million to $400 million on such investments over the next several

years. For further discussion of these projects and capital expenditures, see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We also expect that as a result of the unusually widespread and extensive damage caused by this hurricane season that the costs for labor and building materials for future capital expenditure projects will increase. However, we do not believe it will affect the timing of our capital expenditure plans in 2005.

Acquisitions. We acquired the 834-room Hyatt Regency Washington, D.C. on Capitol Hill on September 30, 2005 for a purchase price of approximately $274 million. We remain interested in pursuing single asset and portfolio acquisitions, both domestically and abroad. We believe that there are, and will continue to be, opportunities to acquire assets that are consistent with our target profile of upper-upscale and luxury properties in urban and resort/convention locations where further large scale lodging development is limited. Any acquisitions may be funded, in part, from our available cash, draws under our credit facility or other debt financing, proceeds from asset sales or through equity offerings by HMC or the issuance of debt or OP units by Host LP. We cannot be certain as to the size or timing of acquisition opportunities or of our ability to obtain additional acquisition financing, if needed.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of cash are cash from operations, the sale of assets, borrowing under our credit facility and our ability to obtain additional financing through various capital markets. Our principal uses of cash are debt service, asset acquisitions, capital expenditures, operating costs, corporate expenses and distributions to equity holders.

Cash Provided by Operations. Our cash provided by operations for year-to-date 2005 increased $103 million to $309 million from $206 million for year-to-date 2004, due primarily to the increase in operating profit in 2005.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities. Our primary investing activities during the quarter consisted of capital expenditures at our properties of $63 million. Year-to-date, we have spent approximately $193 million in capital expenditures. The following table summarizes other significant investing activities that have been completed since the beginning of fiscal year 2005 (in millions):


Transaction Date		Description of Transaction	Transaction Amount
October	2005	Sale of Charlotte Marriott	$	21
September	2005	Purchase of Hyatt Regency Washington, D.C.		(274	)

January	2005	Sale of Torrance Marriott		62
January	2005	Sale of Hartford Marriott at Farmington, Tampa Westshore Marriott and Albuquerque Marriott		66

In addition to the sale of four properties and 85% of our interest in CBM Joint Venture LLC in the first half of 2005 and the recently completed sale of Charlotte Executive Park Marriott in October, we believe that dispositions for the remainder of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 will be approximately $150 million to $250 million. The net proceeds from any dispositions will be used to repay debt, fund acquisitions or repositioning/ROI projects or for general corporate purposes.

Cash Used in Financing Activities. Our primary financing activities during the quarter consisted of payment of dividends on our preferred and common stock of $42 million, and scheduled principle repayments of $13 million. Year-to-date, dividend payments on our preferred and common stock totaled $88 million and scheduled principal repayments totaled $43 million.

Debt

As of September 9, 2005, our total debt was $5.5 billion. The weighted average interest rate of our debt is approximately 7.0% and the current weighted average maturity is 6.9 years. Additionally, approximately 85% of our debt has a fixed rate of interest. Over time, we expect to increase the proportion of our floating rate debt in our capital structure to 20% to 25% of our total debt.

As of September 9, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our debt was comprised of:


	September 9, 2005		December 31, 2004

(1)	Includes the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements of $(5) million and $1 million as of September 9, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

(2)	Includes the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement of $5 million and $18 million as of September 9, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

Exchangeable Senior Debentures. During 2004, we issued $500 million of 3.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures which currently are exchangeable into shares of HMC’s common stock at a rate of 55.4024 shares for each $1,000 of principal amount of the debentures, or a total of approximately 28 million shares, which is equivalent to an exchange price of $18.05 per share of our common stock. The exchange rate is adjusted for certain circumstances, including the payment of common dividends. Holders may exchange their Exchangeable Senior

Debentures prior to maturity under certain conditions, including at any time at which the closing sale price of our common stock is more than 120% of the exchange price per share for at least 20 of 30 trading days.

Mortgage Debt. Substantially all of our mortgage debt is recourse solely to specific assets except in instances of fraud, misapplication of funds and other customary recourse provisions. As of September 9, 2005, we have 25 assets that are encumbered by mortgage debt. We have certain restrictive covenants on one loan, which we refer to as the CMBS loan, that is secured by mortgages on eight properties. These restrictive covenants require the mortgage servicer to retain and hold in escrow the cash flow after debt service when it declines below specified operating levels. The remaining mortgage loans generally do not have restrictive covenants that require such escrows. Our restricted cash includes $68 million as of September 9, 2005 held in escrow in accordance with these restrictive covenants. As of the end of the third quarter, operating cash flow from these properties for the past two quarters met the levels required to release the escrowed funds under the CMBS loan and accordingly, we expect that these escrowed funds will be released in the fourth quarter.

Convertible Subordinated Debentures. As of September 9, 2005, Host Marriott Financial Trust (the “Trust”), a wholly owned subsidiary, has 9.5 million shares of 6³/4% convertible quarterly income preferred securities outstanding (the “Convertible Preferred Securities”), with a liquidation preference of $50 per share (for a total liquidation amount of $475 million). The Convertible Preferred Securities represent an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust, consisting solely of $492 million of 6³/4% convertible subordinated debentures issued by us due December 2026 (the “Convertible Subordinated Debentures”). The Trust exists solely to issue the Convertible Preferred Securities and its own common securities, held by us, and to invest the proceeds therefrom in the Convertible Subordinated Debentures.

Each of the Convertible Preferred Securities and the related debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of HMC common stock at the rate of 3.2537 shares per Convertible Preferred Security, for a total of approximately 31 million shares (equivalent to a conversion price of $15.367 per share of our common stock). The Convertible Preferred Securities are redeemable at the Trust’s option upon any redemption by us of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures. Currently, the Convertible Preferred Securities can be redeemed at a price equal to 101.350% of the liquidation preference, or $50.3375 per security. In addition, we have the right to terminate the conversion rights, upon 30 days advance notice, in the event the price of HMC’s common stock exceeds $18.44 (equal to 120% of the conversion price) for 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days. For additional information on these mortgages and their restrictive covenants, see our most current Annual Report on Form 10-K.

HMC Dividend Policy

HMC is required to distribute to stockholders at least 90% of its taxable income in order to qualify as a REIT, including taxable income recognized for tax purposes but with regard to which we do not receive corresponding cash. Funds used by HMC to pay dividends on its common and preferred stock are provided through distributions from Host LP. For every share of common and preferred stock of HMC, Host LP has issued to HMC a corresponding common OP unit and preferred OP unit. As of October 15, 2005, HMC is the owner of substantially all of the preferred OP units and approximately 95% of the common OP units. The remaining 5% of the common OP units are held by various third-party limited partners.

As a result of the minority position in Host LP common OP units, these holders share, on a pro rata basis, in amounts being distributed by Host LP. As a general rule, when HMC pays a common or preferred dividend, Host LP pays an equivalent per unit distribution on all common or corresponding preferred OP units. For example, if HMC paid a five cent per share dividend on its common stock, it would be based on payment of a five cent per unit distribution by Host LP to HMC as well as other common OP unit holders. For these reasons, investors should also take into account the 5% minority position in Host LP, and the requirement that they share pro rata in distributions from Host LP, when analyzing dividend payments by HMC to its stockholders.

HMC’s current policy on common dividends is generally to distribute at least 100% of its taxable income, unless otherwise contractually restricted. HMC currently intends to continue paying dividends on its preferred stock, regardless of the amount of taxable income, unless similarly contractually restricted. While we are not currently restricted in our ability to pay dividends, during the second half of 2002 and continuing through the first

quarter of 2004 we were limited in our ability to pay dividends, except to the extent necessary to maintain HMC’s REIT status.

On September 16, 2005, our Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.625 per share for our Class C preferred stock and a cash dividend of $0.5546875 per share for our Class E preferred stock. The dividends were paid on October 17, 2005 to preferred stockholders of record as of September 30, 2005.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are measures of our historical financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. They are as follows: (i) Funds From Operations (FFO) per diluted share, and (ii) Comparable Hotel Operating Results. A complete discussion of these measures (including the reasons why we believe they are useful to investors, the additional purposes for which management uses these measures and their limitations) is included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

FFO per Diluted Share

We present FFO per diluted share as a non-GAAP measure of our performance in addition to our earnings per share (calculated in accordance with GAAP). We calculate FFO per diluted share for a given operating period as our FFO (defined as set forth below) for such period divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during such period. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is presented on a per share basis after making adjustments for the effects of dilutive securities, including the payment of preferred stock dividends, in accordance with NAREIT guidelines. We believe that FFO per diluted share is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance and that presentation of FFO per diluted share, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of earnings per share, provides beneficial information to investors.

Comparable Hotel Operating Results

We present certain operating results for our full-service hotels, such as hotel revenues, expenses and adjusted operating profit, on a comparable hotel, or “same store” basis as supplemental information for investors. See “Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics” above for a description of what we consider our comparable hotels. We present these hotel operating results on a comparable hotel basis because we believe that doing so provides investors and management with useful information for evaluating the period-to-period performance of our hotels and facilitates comparisons with other hotel REITs and hotel owners.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) available to common stockholders per share to FFO per diluted share (in millions, except per share amounts):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The percentage of our debt that is floating rate was 15% at September 9, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Accordingly, there have been no changes in our interest rate sensitivity. See our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Agreements

Other than those transactions disclosed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 25, 2005, there have been no other changes to, nor have we purchased or sold any other derivative instruments during the third quarter of 2005 that would affect our exchange rate sensitivity.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reports.
