MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements present the
results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of Marriott
International, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company), formerly
New Marriott MI, Inc., as if it were a separate entity for all periods
presented. Until March 27, 1998, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the former Marriott International, Inc. (Old Marriott).
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company
believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading. However, the condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended January 2, 1998. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings specified in the Annual Report.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of
the Company as of June 19, 1998 and January 2, 1998, the results of
operations for the twenty-four weeks and twelve weeks ended June 19, 1998 and
June 20, 1997 and cash flows for the twenty-four weeks ended June 19, 1998
and June 20, 1997. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal
year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations. All material
intercompany transactions and balances between Marriott International, Inc.
and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.
2. Spinoff
-------
On March 27, 1998, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the
Company was distributed, on a pro rata basis, as a special dividend (the
Spinoff) to holders of common stock of Old Marriott, and the Company was
renamed "Marriott International, Inc." Old Marriott's historical cost basis
in the assets and liabilities of the Company has been carried over. Old
Marriott received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
that the Spinoff would be tax-free to it and its shareholders. For each share
of common stock in Old Marriott, shareholders received one share of Company
Common Stock and one share of Company Class A Common Stock. On May 21, 1998,
all outstanding shares of Company Common Stock were converted, on a one-for-
one basis, into shares of Company Class A Common Stock. Company Class A
Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Also on March 27, 1998, Old Marriott was renamed Sodexho Marriott Services,
Inc. (SMS) and its food service and facilities management business was
combined with the North American operations of Sodexho Alliance, S.A.
(Sodexho), a worldwide food and management services organization.
7
For purposes of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between the
Company and SMS after the Spinoff and to provide for orderly transition, the
Company and SMS entered into various agreements including the Employee
Benefits and Other Employment Matters Allocation Agreement, Liquid Yield
Option Notes (LYONs) Allocation Agreement, Tax Sharing Agreement, Trademark
and Trade Name License Agreement, Noncompetition Agreement, Employee Benefit
Services Agreement, Procurement Services Agreement, Distribution Services
Agreement and other transitional services agreements. Effective as of the
Spinoff date, pursuant to these agreements, the Company assumed sponsorship
of certain of Old Marriott's employee benefit plans and insurance programs
and succeeded to Old Marriott's liability to LYONs holders under the LYONs
Indenture, nine percent of which was assumed by SMS.
Changes in Investments and Net Advances from Old Marriott represent the net
income of the Company plus the net cash transferred between Old Marriott and
the Company, and certain non-cash items.
Prior to the Spinoff, the Company operated as a unit of Old Marriott,
utilizing Old Marriott's centralized systems for cash management, payroll,
purchasing and distribution, employee benefit plans, insurance and
administrative services. As a result, substantially all cash received by the
Company was deposited in and commingled with Old Marriott's general corporate
funds. Similarly, operating expenses, capital expenditures and other cash
requirements of the Company were paid by Old Marriott and charged directly or
allocated to the Company. Certain assets and liabilities related to the
Company's operations were managed and controlled by Old Marriott on a
centralized basis. Prior to the Spinoff such assets and liabilities were
allocated to the Company based on the Company's use of, or interest in, those
assets and liabilities. In the opinion of management, the methods for
allocating costs, assets and liabilities prior to the Spinoff were
reasonable. The Company now performs these functions independently and the
costs incurred have not been materially different from those allocated prior
to the Spinoff.
3. Earnings Per Share
------------------
For periods prior to March 27, 1998, the number of weighted average shares
outstanding and the effect of dilutive securities used in the earnings per
share calculations are based upon the weighted average number of Old Marriott
shares outstanding, and the Old Marriott effect of dilutive securities for
the applicable period, adjusted (i) for the distribution ratio in the Spinoff
of one share of Company Common Stock and one share of Company Class A Common
Stock for every share of Old Marriott common stock, and (ii) to reflect the
conversion of Company Common Stock into Company Class A Common Stock on May
21, 1998.

of shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations (in
millions, except per share amounts).

4. Acquisitions
------------
Renaissance Hotel Group N.V. On March 29, 1997, the Company acquired
substantially all of the outstanding common stock of Renaissance Hotel Group
N.V. (RHG). The purchase cost of $937 million was funded by Old Marriott. The
Company's reported results of operations include RHG's operating results from
the date of acquisition. Unaudited pro forma results of operations of the
Company for the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 1997, as if RHG had been
acquired on January 4, 1997, would have resulted in sales of $4,302 million,
net income of $148 million, and diluted earnings per share of $.55 after
deducting pro forma interest expense of $12 million as if the acquisition
borrowings had been incurred by the Company. The unaudited pro forma results
of operations do not reflect the Company's expected future results of
operations.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company LLC. On March 19, 1998, the Company increased
its ownership interest in The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company LLC to approximately
98 percent for consideration of approximately $90 million. The Company
expects to acquire the remaining two percent within the next several years.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Prior to March 19, 1998, the Company's investment in The Ritz-
Carlton Hotel Company LLC was accounted for using the equity method of
accounting.
5. Commitments
-----------
The Company issues guarantees to lenders and other third parties in
connection with financing transactions and other obligations. These
guarantees are limited, in the aggregate, to $251 million at June 19, 1998,
including $80 million applicable to guarantees by or debt obligations of Host
Marriott, partnerships in which Host Marriott is the general partner or other
affiliated entities. New World and another affiliate of Dr. Cheng (a Director
of the Company) have severally indemnified the Company for guarantees by RHG
of leases with minimum annual payments of approximately $59 million.
As of June 19, 1998, the Company had extended approximately $168 million of
loan commitments to owners of lodging and senior living properties. Letters
of credit outstanding on the Company's behalf at June 19, 1998 totaled $122
million, the majority of which related to the Company's self-insurance
program. At June 19, 1998, the Company had a repurchase obligation of $72
million related to notes receivable from timeshare interval purchasers that
have been sold with limited recourse.
6. Comprehensive Income
--------------------
In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(FAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" by including footnote
disclosure of comprehensive income. All components of other comprehensive
income up to the date of the Spinoff were reflected within Investments and
Net Advances from Old Marriott during such periods. Total comprehensive
income was $115 million and $76 million, respectively, for the twelve weeks
ended June 19, 1998 and June 20, 1997, and was $200 million and $144 million,
respectively, for the twenty-four weeks ended June 19, 1998 and June 20,
1997. The principal difference between net income and total comprehensive
income relates to foreign currency translation adjustments.
10
7. New Accounting Standards
------------------------
The Company will adopt FAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" in the fourth quarter of 1998. The
Company will adopt FAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities", which is expected to have no material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements, in the fourth quarter of 2000.
On November 20, 1997, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus on EITF 97-2 "Application of
FASB Statement No. 94 and APB Opinion No. 16 to Physician Practice Management
Entities and Certain Other Entities with Contractual Management
Arrangements." EITF 97-2 addresses the circumstances in which a management
entity may include the sales and expenses of a managed entity in its
financial statements. As a result of EITF 97-2, and related discussions with
the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the 1998 fourth
quarter the Company will change its accounting policy to no longer include
the working capital and sales of managed hotels and retirement communities in
its financial statements. Instead, the Company's sales will include fees
earned plus costs recovered from owners of managed hotels and retirement
communities. Prior periods will be restated. Reflecting this change in
accounting policy in the Company's financial statements would have reduced
each of sales and operating expenses by approximately $596 million and $457
million for the twelve weeks ended June 19, 1998 and June 20, 1997,
respectively, and by approximately $1,092 million and $825 million for the
twenty-four weeks ended June 19, 1998 and June 20, 1997, respectively, and
each of current assets and current liabilities by approximately $526 million,
as of June 19, 1998, with no impact on operating profit, net income, earnings
per share, debt or equity.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Financial Condition
- -------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS/(1)/
Twelve Weeks Ended June 19, 1998 Compared to Twelve Weeks Ended June 20, 1997
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company reported net income of $101 million for the 1998 second quarter, on
sales of $2,539 million. This represents a 20 percent increase in net income and
a 16 percent increase in sales over the second quarter of 1997. Diluted
earnings per share of $.37 for the quarter increased 19 percent over the 1997
amount.
LODGING operations reported a 24 percent increase in operating profit on 24
percent higher sales. The results reflect room rate growth at U.S. hotels well
in excess of inflation, contributions from new units, and expansion of Marriott
Vacation Club International. Sales for full-service and luxury brands comprised
over 75 percent of total lodging sales.
A net total of 48 hotels (7,241 rooms) were added during the second quarter of
1998, increasing the Company's total hotels to 1,554 (309,964 rooms). Hotels by
brand are as indicated in the following table, which reflect a total of 32
Courtyard, Renaissance and Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites properties (9,338
rooms) which were "reflagged" from Ramada International and New World in the
1998 second quarter.

Sales for Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites increased nine percent over the
prior year period. An eight percent increase in average room rates, to $141,
partially offset by a slight decrease in occupancy to 81 percent, generated a
REVPAR increase of six percent. REVPAR growth was reduced during the 1998
quarter due to the timing of the Easter holiday. Profits increased as improved
REVPAR generated higher base management, franchise and incentive fees at many
hotels.
____________
/(1) /Average daily rate, occupancy and REVPAR statistics are based on
comparable Company-operated U.S. properties, except for Fairfield Inn and
Suites, which data also include comparable franchised units.
12
Renaissance hotels posted a REVPAR increase of seven percent due to a seven
percent increase in average room rates to $134 with occupancy unchanged at 73
percent. Renaissance is now integrated into the Marriott reservation system, as
well as sales, marketing and other programs.
Ritz-Carlton reported an increase in average room rates of nine percent, to
$218, with occupancy down two percentage points to 78 percent, resulting in a
seven percent increase in REVPAR. The results of Ritz-Carlton properties have
been consolidated following the increase in the Company's ownership interest to
approximately 98 percent on March 19, 1998, resulting in sales of approximately
$220 million during the 1998 quarter, with no impact on net income.
The combined limited-service lodging brands reported 11 percent higher sales.
Profit growth over the prior year reflected increased base and incentive
management fees on Company-operated properties and the expansion of franchising
programs. The limited-service brands added a net of 40 properties (4,472
rooms), primarily franchises, during the second quarter of 1998.
. The Company's quality tier extended-stay brand, Residence Inn, posted a
REVPAR increase of four percent, due to an increase in average room rates of
five percent to $100, partially offset by a one percentage point decrease in
occupancy to 85 percent. Residence Inn opened 13 properties during the
quarter.
. Courtyard, the Company's moderate-price lodging brand, achieved a 12 percent
increase in sales. Courtyard's average room rates increased eight percent to
$91, while occupancy decreased slightly to 82 percent, resulting in a REVPAR
increase of seven percent. Courtyard opened 11 properties during the quarter.
. Fairfield Inn and Suites, the Company's economy lodging brand, posted an
increase in average room rates of four percent to $56, which was partially
offset by a slight decrease in occupancy to 77 percent, resulting in an
increase in REVPAR of four percent. Fairfield Inn and Suites opened 14
properties during the quarter.
Marriott Vacation Club International posted substantial profit growth in the
1998 second quarter. The division generated a 14 percent increase in contract
sales, reflecting strong sales activity at timeshare resorts in South Carolina,
Hawaii and California, as well as higher financing income.
CONTRACT SERVICES reported operating profit of $8 million on sales of $406
million in the 1998 second quarter, representing 50 percent and 16 percent
decreases, respectively, from the second quarter of 1997. Profit growth was
impacted by the April 1997 sale of five senior living communities and the June
1997 sale of 29 communities, all of which the Company continues to operate under
long-term agreements. Operating profit for Contract Services increased four-
fold from the 1997 second quarter after adjusting for the impact of these
transactions.
13
Marriott Senior Living Services reported higher sales, and solid profit growth
in the 1998 second quarter, adjusting for the impact of the real estate
transactions cited above. Results were aided by contributions from 16 senior
living communities added over the past 12 months. Occupancy for comparable
communities increased one percentage point to 94 percent in the quarter. The
division now operates 95 independent full-service and assisted living
communities totaling approximately 18,400 units. Marriott plans to add more
than 200 senior living communities over a five-year period (1998-2002).
Marriott Distribution Services (MDS) achieved higher profits in the 1998 second
quarter, despite lower sales. The division benefited from consolidation of its
food distribution facilities, and the realization of operating efficiencies
following a period of rapid expansion in 1996-97.
CORPORATE ACTIVITY. Interest expense decreased by $2 million, primarily due to
Host Marriott's assumption of $187 million of mortgage debt associated with the
June 1997 sale of 29 senior living communities, partially offset by the interest
costs arising from 1998 investing activities and share repurchases of
approximately $116 million during the quarter. Interest income increased by $2
million reflecting higher notes receivable balances. Corporate expenses
increased due to year 2000 software modification costs of $3 million as well as
non-cash items associated with investments generating significant income tax
benefits. The effective income tax rate decreased from 39 percent to 38.5
percent primarily due to the increased proportion of foreign operations in
countries with low effective tax rates.
Twenty-Four Weeks Ended June 19, 1998 Compared to Twenty-Four Weeks Ended June
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20, 1997
- --------
The Company reported net income of $190 million for the first two quarters, on
sales of $4,731 million. This represents a 24 percent increase in net income and
a 15 percent increase in sales over the same period in 1997. Diluted earnings
per share of $.70 for the period increased 23 percent over the corresponding
1997 period.
LODGING operating profits were up 27 percent, on a sales increase of 23 percent.
The revenue increase primarily resulted from REVPAR growth across all brands and
the addition of 434 hotels since the beginning of 1997. This revenue growth
resulted in the Company earning higher base management and franchise fees and
also contributed to higher house profits which resulted in higher incentive
management fees. Sales for full-service and luxury brands comprised 75 percent
of total lodging sales.
Sales for Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites increased eight percent over the
prior year period. An eight percent increase in average room rates, partially
offset by a one percentage point decline in occupancy, generated a REVPAR
increase of seven percent. Profits increased as improved REVPAR generated
higher base management fees and higher house profits, resulting in increased
incentive fees at many hotels.
Renaissance hotels achieved a REVPAR increase of seven percent due to a seven
percent increase in room rates to $134, partially offset by a slight decrease in
occupancy to 71 percent. Renaissance is now integrated into the Marriott
reservation system, as well as sales, marketing and other programs.
14
Ritz-Carlton reported an increase in average room rates of 10 percent, to $216,
while occupancy decreased two percentage points to 77 percent, resulting in a
seven percent increase in REVPAR.
Limited-service brands represented about 18 percent of total lodging sales for
the first two quarters, and each of the brands increased REVPAR for this period.
. Residence Inn posted a REVPAR increase of four percent, due to an increase in
average room rates of six percent to $100, partially offset by a decrease in
occupancy to 84 percent. Sales growth in 1998, of 10 percent, also benefited
from the addition of 53 properties since the beginning of fiscal year 1997.
. Courtyard achieved a 12 percent increase in sales. Courtyard's average room
rates increased nine percent to $91, while occupancy dropped slightly to 80
percent, resulting in a REVPAR increase of seven percent. Sales and profits
also reflect the addition of 70 units since the beginning of fiscal year 1997.
. Fairfield Inn and Suites achieved a four percent increase in REVPAR, driven by
a five percent increase in average room rates to $56, marginally offset by a
one percentage point decrease in occupancy to 73 percent. Fairfield Inn and
Suites has opened 81 properties since the beginning of fiscal year 1997.
Marriott Vacation Club International generated a 10 percent increase in contract
sales. The Company experienced increased profits from resort development,
together with increased financing income.
CONTRACT SERVICES reported operating profit of $13 million on sales of $824
million in 1998, representing 57 percent and 12 percent decreases, respectively,
from the first two quarters of 1997. Profit growth was impacted by the April
1997 sale of five senior living communities, and the June 1997 sale of 29
communities, all of which the Company continues to operate under long-term
agreements. Operating profit for Contract Services more than doubled over the
first two quarters of 1997 after adjusting for the impact of these transactions.
Marriott Senior Living Services reported higher sales for the first two quarters
of 1998, before the impact of the real estate transactions cited above. Results
were boosted by contributions from 23 senior living communities added since the
beginning of 1997 and an increase in occupancy for comparable communities to 95
percent.
Marriott Distribution Services generated higher profits in the first two
quarters of 1998, despite lower sales, reflecting increased operating
efficiencies.
15
CORPORATE ACTIVITY. Interest expense decreased by $6 million, primarily due to
Host Marriott's assumption of $187 million of mortgage debt associated with the
June 1997 sale of 29 senior living communities, partially offset by the interest
costs arising from 1998 investing activities and share repurchases of
approximately $116 million during 1998. Interest income increased by $7 million
reflecting higher notes receivable balances. Corporate expenses increased due to
year 2000 software modification costs of $6 million as well as non-cash items
associated with investments generating significant income tax benefits. The
effective income tax rate decreased from 39 percent to 38.5 percent primarily
due to the increased proportion of foreign operations in countries with low
effective tax rates.
16
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and equivalents totaled $318 million at June 19, 1998, an increase of $29
million from year end. Cash provided by operations of $305 million increased 17
percent over 1997. EBITDA increased by $62 million, or 19 percent, to $380
million. EBITDA is an indicator of operating performance which can be used to
measure the Company's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and
expand its business. However, EBITDA is not an alternative to net income,
operating profit, cash from operations, or any other operating or liquidity
measure prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $277 million for the first two
quarters of 1998, primarily comprising the increase in the Company's ownership
interest in The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company LLC, together with expenditures for
the development of limited-service lodging properties and senior living
communities, partially offset by proceeds from loan collections and sales. Cash
generated from dispositions of $89 million was primarily due to the sales of
limited-service lodging properties and senior living communities.
The Company continues to grow its businesses, in part, by investing in new
units. The Company's principal investments will continue to include loans,
minority equity interests, business acquisitions and direct development and
ownership of certain lodging and senior living services projects. The Company
expects to sell certain lodging and senior living service properties under
development, or to be developed, while continuing to operate them under long-
term agreements. The Company believes that cash generated by operations,
together with its borrowing capacity and proceeds from the sale of assets, will
be sufficient to finance its planned growth and capital requirements.
The Company purchased 3.5 million shares in the twelve weeks ended June 19,
1998, at a cost of $116 million. As of June 19, 1998, the Company had been
authorized by its Board of Directors to purchase a further 16.5 million shares.
In 1996 MDS became the exclusive provider of distribution services to Boston
Chicken Inc. (BCI). In May 1998, BCI disclosed that its independent auditors had
expressed substantial doubt about BCI's ability to continue as a going concern.
MDS continues to distribute to BCI and has been receiving full payment in
accordance with the terms of its contractual relationship with BCI. If the
contract were to terminate, or if BCI were to cease or substantially curtail its
operations: (i) MDS may be unable to recover some or all of an aggregate of
approximately $32 million (calculated as of June 19, 1998) in contract
investment, receivables, and inventory; and (ii) MDS would have warehouse
capacity and rolling stock in excess of its likely future requirements.
The Company, like most computer users, will be required to modify or replace
significant portions of its computer software and other systems so that they
will function properly prior to, in the year 2000, and beyond. The Company has
assembled a dedicated team to address the year 2000 issue. This team has
completed an inventory of most significant systems requiring modification, and
has completed the remediation of some significant systems. Many of the costs to
be incurred will be reimbursed to the Company or otherwise paid directly by
owners and clients, pursuant to existing contracts. Estimated pre-tax
costs to be borne by the Company are approximately $40 to $50 million and will
be expensed as incurred. These amounts are subject to numerous estimation
uncertainties including the extent of work to be done, availability and cost of
17
consultants and the extent of testing required. The Company believes that it has
allocated adequate resources for this purpose and expects its year 2000 program
to be completed on a timely basis. However, there can be no assurance that the
systems of other parties upon which the Company's businesses also rely will be
converted on a timely basis. The Company could be materially adversely affected
by the failure of its systems and applications, or those operated by other
parties, to properly address the year 2000 issue.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
There have been no material changes to the Company's exposures to market risk
since January 2, 1998.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------
There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Company.
On May 27, 1998, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the Settlement
Agreement) with Interstate Hotels Company (Interstate), Patriot American
Hospitality, Inc. (Patriot American) and Wyndham International, Inc. (Wyndham),
which settled certain litigation described in the Company's Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended March 27, 1998. The Settlement Agreement provides for, among
other things, the following: (i) the spinoff by Patriot American, within 180
days after the merger of Interstate and Wyndham (which was reported to have
occurred on June 2, 1998), of an independent, publicly-traded company
encompassing Interstate's third-party management business, including the
management of 42 Marriott-branded properties; (ii) the assumption by the Company
of management of 10 Marriott-branded hotels currently owned and operated by
Interstate; and (iii) the conversion by Patriot American of 10 Marriott-branded
hotels owned by Interstate to Wyndham-branded hotels. Each of the Company and
Patriot American will own four percent of the outstanding shares of the spun off
company, and each will have the right to elect two directors of the nine-member
board of directors until such time as Patriot American, on the one hand, or the
Company, on the other hand, owns less than 50 percent of their original
investment in the spun off company. The new company will have two principal
subsidiaries, and own an approximately 35 percent managing interest in the
subsidiary that will conduct Interstate's third-party hotel management business.
Patriot American will retain an approximately 65 percent non-voting ownership
interest in that subsidiary. The new company will also own 99.99 percent of its
other subsidiary, which will enter into a management agreement with the Company,
and the Company will own a 0.01 percent interest in this subsidiary allowing
certain consent rights with respect to its management agreements. The settlement
also includes the amendment of existing contracts to give the Company rights of
first refusal on future sales of certain Marriott-branded hotels owned by
Patriot American, and the amendment of certain territorial restrictions to allow
the Company to operate additional hotels in certain markets and to permit
Patriot American to convert existing Marriott hotels in certain markets to
Wyndham hotels. If the spinoff does not occur, the parties have agreed that
neither Patriot American, Wyndham nor any of their affiliates will qualify as
approved Marriott hotel operators, and that the Company will be free to enforce
its rights under the amended franchise agreements, including rights to
liquidated damages with respect to Marriott-branded properties where Interstate
is the owner/manager or manager and franchisee. The agreements now provide that
the Company will have rights to purchase several of the hotels at appraised
value, and the right to demand an approved operator for the remaining Marriott-
branded hotels.
Item 2. Changes in Securities

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this
report or presented elsewhere by management.
Dependence on Others: The Company's present growth strategy for development of
additional lodging and senior living facilities entails entering into and
maintaining various arrangements with present and future property owners,
including Host Marriott Corporation and New World Development Company Limited.
There can be no assurance that any of the Company's current strategic
arrangements will be continued, or that the Company will be able to enter into
future collaborations.
Contract Terms for New Units: The terms of the operating contracts,
distribution agreements, franchise agreements and leases for each of the
Company's lodging facilities and retirement communities are influenced by
contract terms offered by the Company's competitors at the time such agreements
are entered into. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts entered
into or renewed in the future will be on terms that are as favorable to the
Company as those under existing agreements.
Competition: The profitability of hotels, vacation timeshare resorts,
retirement communities, and distribution centers operated by the Company is
subject to general economic conditions, competition, the desirability of
particular locations, the relationship between supply of and demand for hotel
rooms, vacation timeshare resorts, senior living facilities, and distribution
services, and other factors. The Company generally operates in markets that
contain numerous competitors and the continued success of the Company will be
dependent, in large part, upon the ability to compete in such areas as access,
location, quality of accommodations, amenities, specialized services, cost
containment and, to a lesser extent, the quality and scope of food and beverage
services and facilities.
Supply and Demand: During the 1980s, construction of lodging facilities in the
United States resulted in an excess supply of available rooms, and the
oversupply had an adverse effect on occupancy levels and room rates in the
industry. Although industry conditions have improved, the lodging industry may
be adversely affected in the future by (i) supply additions, (ii) international,
national and regional economic conditions, (iii) changes in travel patterns,
(iv) taxes and government regulations which influence or determine wages,
prices, interest rates, construction procedures and costs, and (v) the
availability of capital. The Company's timeshare and senior living service
businesses are also subject to the same or similar uncertainties and,
accordingly, there can be no assurance that the present level of demand for
timeshare intervals and senior living communities will continue, or that there
will not be an increase in the supply of competitive units, which could reduce
the prices at which the Company is able to sell or rent units.
Effect of Acquisitions: The benefit to the Company of potential future
acquisitions depends, in part, on the Company's ability to integrate the
acquired businesses into existing operations. Such integration may be more
difficult, costly and time consuming than initially anticipated.
Year 2000 Compliance: The Company, like most computer users, will be required
to modify or replace significant portions of its computer software and other
systems so that they will function properly prior to, in the year 2000, and
beyond. The Company has assembled a dedicated team to address the year 2000
issue which has completed an inventory of most significant systems requiring
modification, and has completed the remediation of some significant systems.
However, there are numerous difficulties inherent in assessing the costs to the
Company of remediation, including uncertainties as to the extent of work to be
done, the availability and costs of consultants, the extent of testing required,
and the portion of such costs which are subject to payment or reimbursement by
others. There can be no assurance that the actual costs of remediation will not
significantly exceed the Company's estimates. Although the Company believes that
it has allocated adequate resources for this purpose and expects its year 2000
program to be completed on a timely basis, there can also be no assurance that
the systems of other parties upon which the Company's businesses also rely will
be converted on a timely basis. The Company could be materially adversely
affected by the failure of its systems and applications, or those operated by
other parties, to properly address the year 2000 issue.
