Supplemental disclosure of noncash investing and financing activities:

WeFor the year-to-date periods ended June 19, 2009 and June 13, 2008, we issued approximately 0.93.3 million shares and 7,0000.2 million shares, for the first quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, upon the conversion of operating partnership units, or OP Units, of Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P., or Host LP, held by non-controlling partners valued at approximately $5.8$17 million and $0.1$3 million, respectively.

On March 12, 2008, we acquired the remaining limited partnership interests in Pacific Gateway Ltd., a subsidiary partnership of Host LP, which owns the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina, and other economic rights formerly held by our partners, including the right to receive 1.7% of the hotel’s sales, in exchange for 5,575,540 OP Units. The OP Units were valued at $93 million based on the closing stock price on such date for Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., of $16.68.

See notes to condensed consolidated statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.Organization

Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., or Host, 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 an operating partnership, Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P., or the operating partnership, or Host LP, and its subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of the operating partnership and, as of March 27,June 19, 2009, own approximately 97%98% of the partnership interests of Host LP, 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, 2008.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 27,June 19, 2009 and the results of our operations for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ended June 19, 2009 and June 13, 2008 and cash flows for the quartersyear-to-date periods ended March 27,June 19, 2009 and March 21,June 13, 2008. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations. Subsequent events have been evaluated through July 28, 2009.

Certain prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.presentation, including changes as a result of the application of new accounting requirements for our exchangeable debentures and non-controlling interests in consolidated entities.

Reporting Periods

The results we report are based on results of our hotels reported to us by our hotel managers. Our hotel managers use different reporting periods. Marriott, 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 each of the first three quarters of the year and sixteen or seventeen weeks for the fourth quarter of the year. In contrast, other managers of our hotels, such as Starwood and Hyatt, report results on a monthly basis. For results reported by hotel managers using a monthly reporting period (approximately 41% of our 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 modified so that our fiscal year always ends on December 31 because we are a REIT. Accordingly, our first three quarters of operations end on the same day as Marriott but our fourth quarter ends on December 31.

Distributions from investments in affiliates

We classify the distributions from our investment in affiliates in the statements of cash flows based upon an evaluation of the specific facts and circumstances of each distribution to determine its nature. For example, distributions from cash generated by property operations are classified as cash flows from operating activities. However, distributions received as a result of property sales would be classified as cash flows from investing activities.

Application of New Accounting Standards

SFAS 160 Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51

Effective January 1, 2009, we have adopted SFAS 160,Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51,(“FAS 160”), which definesAs a non-controlling interest

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

in a consolidated subsidiary as “the portionresult of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent” and requiresadoption of new accounting requirements regarding non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements, non-controlling interests of other consolidated partnerships (previously referred to be presentedas “Interest of minority partners of other consolidated partnerships”) is now included as a separate component of equity in the consolidated balance sheet subjectsheets. The consolidated statements of operations have also been modified to the provisions of EITF Topic D-98,Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities(“EITF Topic D-98”). FAS 160 also modifies the presentation of net income by requiringpresent earnings and other comprehensive income to be attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests. Below are the steps we have taken as a result of the implementation of this standard:the requirements:

 

We have reclassified the non-controlling interests of other consolidated partnerships frompreviously presented in the mezzanine section of our balance sheets to equity. This reclassification totaled $24 million as of March 27, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Non-controlling interests of Host LP will continue to be classified in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet as these redeemable OP Units do not meet the requirements for equity classification under EITF Topic D-98.classification. The redemption feature requires the delivery of cash or shares of registered stock.

 

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests of Host LP and of other non-consolidated partnerships is no longer included in the determination of net income, and we reclassified prior year amounts to reflect this requirement. As a result, net income for the period ended March 21, 2008 increased $9$10 million and $18 million from previously reported amounts.amounts for the second quarter and year-to-date periods ending June 13, 2008, respectively. The adoption of this standardrequirement has no effect on our earnings per share.

 

We adjust the non-controlling interests of Host LP each period so that the carrying value equals the greater of its carrying value based on the accumulation of historical cost or its redemption value as prescribed by EITF Topic D-98.value. The historical cost of the non-controlling interests of Host LP is based on the proportional relationship between the carrying value of equity associated with our common stockholders relative to that of the unitholders of Host LP, as OP Units may be exchanged into common stock on a one-for-one basis. Net income is allocated to the non-controlling partners of Host LP based on their weighted average ownership percentage during the period. As of March 27,June 19, 2009, the non-controlling interests of Host LP have a redemption value of approximately $60$90 million (based on March 27,June 19, 2009 Host closing common stock price of $4.25)$7.66), which represents the amount of cash or Host stock, at our option, that would be paid to the outside non-controlling partners of Host LP.LP, which is less than the historical cost of $115 million.

FASB staff position (FSP) APB 14-1, “AccountingAccounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)

Effective January 1, 2009,As a result of the adoption of a new accounting requirement regarding the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement), we have retrospectively adopted FASB staff position APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP 14-1”). FSP 14-1 specifiesretroactively adjusted the recognition of our exchangeable debentures such that issuers of such instruments shouldwe will now separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that willof the debentures to reflect the entity’sour nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the instrument’s issuance date when interest cost is recognized. Our 25/8% Exchangeable Senior Debentures (the “2007 Debentures”) and our 31/4% Exchangeable Senior Debentures (“the 2004 Debentures”) are within the scope of FSP 14-1;the new accounting requirement; therefore, we are required to record the debt components of the debentures at fair value as of the date of issuance and amortize the resulting discount as an increase to interest expense over the expected life of the debt. We measured the fair value of the debt components of the 2004 Debentures and 2007 Debentures at issuance based on effective interest rates of 6.8% and 6.5%, respectively. As a result, we attributed $165 million of the proceeds received to the conversion feature of the debentures. This amount represents the excess proceeds received over the fair value of the debt at the date of issuance and is included in additional paid-in capital on the accompanying balance sheets. The implementation of FSP 14-1the new accounting requirement has resulted in a decrease to net income and earnings per share for all periods presented; however, there is no effect on our cash interest payments. As a result of this accounting change:

 

The unamortized discount of the 2004 Debentures and 2007 Debentures related to the implementation of FSP 14-1 was $66$60 million and $76 million as of March 27,June 19, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The unamortized discount is recognized as a reduction to the carrying value of the debentures on the consolidated balance sheets. Beginning stockholders’ equity was increased by $76 million as a result

Based on this calculation, the fair value of the debt repurchased was greater than the conversion price; therefore, we did not allocate any of the repurchase price to the conversion feature of the debentures.

3.Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income 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 non-controlling partners and exchangeable debt securities. No effect is shown for securities that are anti-dilutive.

Under FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D-53, “Computation of Earnings per Share for a Period that Includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a Class of Preferred Stock” (EITF D-53), we are required to determine the dilutive effect of the repurchased 2004 Exchangeable Debentures separately from the 2004 Debentures outstanding at March 27, 2009. The 2004 Debentures repurchased during 2009 are treated as having been converted to common stock equivalents at the start of the period. Accordingly, the adjustments to dilutive EPSearnings per common share related to the 2004 Debentures includesrepurchased during the year include the $3 million gain recognized,on repurchase, net of interest expense of $1 million on the repurchased debentures.

Impairment of Property and Equipment

We analyze our assets for impairment when events or circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We consider a property to be impaired when the sum of future undiscounted cash flows over our remaining estimated holding period is less than the carrying value of the asset. For impaired assets, we record an impairment charge equal to the excess of the property’s carrying value over its fair value.

During the first quarter of 2009, we reviewed our hotel portfolio for impairment and identified several non-core properties that may be sold prior to the end of their previously estimated useful lives. Therefore, welives or that had current or projected operating losses. Properties exhibiting these characteristics are tested these properties for impairment based on management’s estimate of expected future undiscounted cash flows from operations and sale over our expected holding period taking into account the probabilityremaining hold period. The fair value of consummating the sales. For the two assets where the undiscounted, probability-weightedthese properties is generally determined based on either a discounted cash flows were below the carrying amount,flow analysis or negotiated sales prices. Based on these assessments, we have recorded non-cash impairment charges totaling $40$57 million based onand $97 million in the difference between the properties’ fair valuesecond quarter and the carrying value. These impairmentsyear-to-date periods ended June 19, 2009, respectively. Impairment charges are included inclassified within depreciation expenseand amortization on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the second quarter of 2009, we reclassified $19 million of impairment charges associated with a property that was held for sale as of June 19, 2009 (see note 10) into discontinued operations.

 

5.Investments in Affiliates

We hold a 32.1% ownership interest in a joint venture based in Europe that owns 11 hotel properties located in six countries. The terms of this joint venture agreement limit the life of the investment to 2016, with two one-year extensions. We review our investment in the joint venture for other than temporary impairment based on the occurrence of any events that would indicate that the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value on an other than temporary basis. We used certain inputs such as available third-party appraisals and forecast net operating income for the hotel properties to estimate the fair value of our investment in the joint venture as of June 19, 2009. We determined that our investment was impaired based on the reduction of distributable cash flows from the joint venture, which has been caused primarily by a decline in cash flows generated by the properties. We believe this impairment to be other than temporary as defined by GAAP because the time period over which the joint venture may be able to improve operations such that our investment would be fully recoverable is constrained by the remaining life of the joint venture. As a result, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge totaling $34 million in the second quarter based on the difference between our investment’s estimated fair value and carrying value. This impairment is included in equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates in the consolidated statement of operations.

We consider each one of our 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 other real estate investment activities (primarily our leased hotels and office buildings) are immaterial and meet the aggregation criteria, and thus, we report one segment: hotel ownership.

Outlook

As of March 27, 2009, weWe currently own 116113 hotel properties, which operate primarily in the luxury and upper upscale hotel sectors. For a general overview of our business and a discussion of our reporting periods, see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The United States is currently in the midst of a recession and the future economic environment is likelycontinues to be less favorable than that of recent years.in an economic recession. The recessionary environment in 2009, specifically declining GDP, employment, business investment, corporate profits, and consumer spending and increasing unemployment, has negatively impacted, and we believe will continue to negatively impact, overall lodging demand. We believe that consumer and commercial spending and lodging demand will continue to decline inthroughout the remainder of 2009 and, in particular, we expect lodging demand in thethat luxury segment hotels will continue to underperform other property types as consumers continue to utilizeselect less expensive alternatives. We do not anticipate an improvement in lodging demand until the current economic trends reverse course, particularly the expected continued weakness in the overall economy and the lack of liquidity in the credit markets. While new supply in 2009 is expected to be moderately above the historical average, we expect that, asexperiences sustained quarter over quarter growth. As a result of the current fiscal environment, increases in lodging supply will likely slow significantly over the next few years. This may be particularly relevant for the markets and lodging sectors in which we compete due to the long-term planning and high level of investment associated with these properties.

We believe that the weak economic slowdownfundamentals described above will continue to significantly affect both the group and transient elements of our business. Basedbusiness in the second half of 2009. We believe occupancy will stabilize at the current levels, but we expect continued pressure on reservation activitythe average room rate for 2009,the remainder of the year. In addition, we expect that group demand will continue to decline as companies continue to reducethe reduction in travel and increased concern over expenditures which will lead to increased cancellations, diminished booking activity and reduced attendance at group events, resulting in lower banquet and food and beverage and other revenues. However, we have experienced some slowing of the negative trends in recent periods. While our group booking pace is still below 2008 levels, it has increased during the second quarter when compared to the first quarter of 2009. Additionally, the rate of occupancy decline moderated throughout the quarter. It remains difficult to accurately anticipate and forecast group demand due to shorter group booking lead times. In addition, meeting planners are taking advantage of

historically high room availability, which has resulted in a shift in pricing power. Similarly, the continued reduction in corporate travel budgets will continue to negatively affect the transient business traveler.travel. The consumer-led elements of this economic slowdown will also decreaseare expected to continue to cause decreased demand at leisure-dependent destinations, such as Hawaii and Florida, as both U.S. and international leisure travelers are likely to continue to reduce discretionary spending. Certain expenditures may also increase as a result of continued uncertainty in the economy, such as increased insurance expense.

The general economic trends discussed above make it difficult to predict our future operating results. However, thereThere can be no assurances that we will not experience further declines in hotel revenues or earnings at our properties for any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, greater than anticipated weakness in the economy, changes in travel patterns and the continued impact of the trends identified above. For a general overview of our business and a discussion of our reporting periods see our most recent annual report on form 10-K.

Common Stock Offering

On April 23, 2009, we announced plans to sell approximately 60 million shares of common stock (not including an underwriters’ over-allotment option of 9 million) in an underwritten public offering. The net proceeds of the offering, if successful, are expected to be used for debt repayment and for general corporate purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies

We analyze our assets for impairment when events or circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We record an impairment charge when the future undiscounted cash flows over our remaining estimated holding period is less than the carrying value of the asset. For impaired assets, we record an impairment charge equal to the excess of the property’s carrying value over its fair value. To the extent that a property has a substantial remaining estimated useful life and management does not believe that it is more likely than not the property will be disposed of prior to the end of its useful life, it would be unusual for undiscounted cash flows to be insufficient to recover the property’s carrying value. In the absence of other factors, we assume that the estimable life is equal to the generally accepted accounting principle, or GAAP, depreciable life, though all of our hotel properties are assumed to have at least a 10-year minimum life because of the continuous property maintenance and improvement capital expenditures required under our management agreements, unless situations dictate otherwise, such as an expiring ground lease, or it is more likely than not that the asset will be sold prior to its previously expected useful life.

We test for impairment in several situations, including when current or projected cash flows are 15% less than budgeted cash flows, when it becomes more likely than not that a hotel will be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life, or when other events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. In the evaluation of the impairment of our assets, we make many assumptions and estimates, including:

projected cash flows, both from operations and the eventual disposition;

expected useful life and holding period;

future required capital expenditures; and,

fair values, including consideration of capitalization rates, discount rates and comparable selling prices.

As a preliminary indicator to determine if the carrying value may not be recovered by undiscounted cash flow as of March 27, 2009, we assume a 2.5% rate of growth for cash flows over the useful estimated lives of the individual properties, which has been adjusted lower than the historical growth rate utilized because of the current economic climate. As a result of this test, we identified six properties that required further consideration of property and market specific conditions or factors to determine if the property was impaired. For purposes of this test, if we had assumed a growth rate of 0%, the number of hotel properties required to be tested for recoverability would only have increased by one property. If we had used a growth rate of 5%, the number of hotel properties that required testing would have decreased by three. Management believes its assumptions and estimates reflect the current market conditions and will adjust these measures as appropriate for changes therein.

During the first quarter of 2009, we also identified several non-core properties that may be sold prior to the end of their previously estimated useful lives. Therefore, we tested these properties for impairment based on management’s estimate of expected future undiscounted cash flows over our expected holding period taking into

account the probability of consummating the sales. For the two assets where the undiscounted, probability-weighted cash flows were below the carrying value, we recorded non-cash impairment charges totaling $40 million based on the difference between the property’s fair value and the carrying value. These impairments are included in depreciation expense on the accompanying statements of operations.

Application of New Accounting Standards

SFAS 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51

Effective January 1, 2009, we have adopted SFAS 160,Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51,(“FAS 160”), which defines a non-controlling interest in a consolidated subsidiary as “the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent” and requires non-controlling interest to be presented as a separate component of equity in the consolidated balance sheet subject to the provisions of EITF Topic D-98. FAS 160 also modifies the presentation of net income by requiring earnings and other comprehensive income to be attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests. Below are the steps we have taken as a result of the implementation of this standard:

We have reclassified the non-controlling interests of other consolidated partnerships from the mezzanine section of our balance sheets to equity. This reclassification totaled $24 million as of March 27, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Non-controlling interests of Host LP will continue to be classified in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet as these redeemable OP Units do not meet the requirements for equity classification under EITF Topic D-98. The redemption feature requires the delivery of cash or shares.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests of Host LP and of other non-consolidated partnerships is no longer included in the determination of net income, and we reclassified prior year amounts to reflect this requirement. As a result, net income for the period ended March 21, 2008 increased $9 million from previously reported amounts. The adoption of this standard has no effect on our diluted earnings per share.

We adjust the non-controlling interests of Host LP each period so that the carrying value equals the greater of its carrying value based on the accumulation of historical cost or its redemption value as prescribed by EITF Topic D-98. The historical cost of the non-controlling interests of Host LP is based on the proportional relationship between the carrying value of equity associated with our common stockholders relative to that of the unitholders of Host LP, as OP Units may be exchanged into common stock on a one-for-one basis. Net income is allocated to the non-controlling partners of Host LP based on their weighted average ownership percentage during the period. As of March 27, 2009, the non-controlling interests of Host LP have a redemption value of approximately $60 million (based on March 27, 2009 Host common stock price of $4.25), which represents the amount of cash or Host stock, at our option, that would be paid to the outside non-controlling partners of Host LP.

FASB staff position (FSP) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”

Effective January 1, 2009, we have retrospectively adopted FASB staff position APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP 14-1”). FSP 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the instrument’s issuance date when interest cost is recognized. Our 25/8% Exchangeable Senior Debentures (the “2007 Debentures”) and our 31/4% Exchangeable Senior Debentures (“the 2004 Debentures”) are within the scope of FSP 14-1; therefore, we are required to record the debt components of the debentures at fair value as of the date of issuance and amortize the resulting discount as an increase to interest expense

over the expected life of the debt. We measured the fair value of the debt components of the 2004 Debentures and 2007 Debentures at issuance based on effective interest rates of 6.8% and 6.5%, respectively. As a result, we attributed $165 million of the proceeds received to the conversion feature of the debentures. This amount represents the excess proceeds received over the fair value of the debt at the date of issuance and is included in additional paid-in capital on the accompanying balance sheets. The implementation of FSP 14-1 has resulted in a decrease to net income and earnings per share for all periods presented; however, there is no effect on our cash interest payments. As a result of this accounting change:

The unamortized discount of the 2004 Debentures and 2007 Debentures related to the implementation of FSP 14-1 was $66 million and $76 million as of March 27, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The unamortized discount is recognized as a reduction to the carrying value of the debentures on the balance sheets. Beginning stockholders’ equity was increased by $76 million as a result of the adoption of FSP 14-1.

Interest expense for the first quarters of 2009 and 2008 includes $7 million and $8 million, respectively, of contractual cash interest expense and an additional $7 million of non-cash interest expense for both periods related to the amortization of the discounts,

The gain recognized upon the first quarter 2009 repurchase of $75 million face value of the 2004 Debentures was approximately $3 million. Prior to the implementation of FSP 14-1, the gain on the repurchase would have totaled approximately $5 million.

The revised diluted earnings per common share for the quarter ended March 21, 2008 was reduced by approximately $.01.

We reclassified approximately $1 million of unamortized financing costs to stockholders’ equity as these costs were attributable to the issuance of the conversion feature associated with the debentures.

Hotel sales declined 16.6%23.7% and 20.7% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, reflecting continued weakness in the lodging industry. The amounts presented in our statements of operations include 86 days and 81 days for our Marriott-managed hotels in the first quarters of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Revenues for properties sold or classified as held for sale in 2009 or 2008 have been reclassified as discontinued operations. See “Discontinued Operations” below.

We discuss operating results for our 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 March 27,June 19, 2009, all of our 116 hotels have been classified as comparable hotels.hotels, including three hotels classified as held-for-sale. See “Comparable Hotel Operating Statistics” for a complete description of our comparable hotels. We discuss our operating results by property type (i.e. urban, suburban, resort/conference or airport), geographic region and mix of business (i.e. transient, group or contract).

For the quarter, comparableComparable hotel sales decreased 19.6%23.7% to approximately $863 million.$1.1 billion for the quarter and decreased 21.9% to approximately $1.9 billion year-to-date compared to last year. The revenue decline reflects the decrease in comparable RevPAR of 19.8%24.9% for the quarter and 22.7% year-to-date, as a result of a decrease in occupancy of 8.59.1 percentage points for the quarter and 8.8 percentage points year-to-date and a decrease in average room rates of 8.6%.14.6% for the quarter and 12.0% year-to-date.

Food and beverage revenues for our comparable hotels decreased 20.7%25.4% for the quarter.quarter and 23.3% year-to-date compared to last year. The decrease in the quarter reflects a decline in both banquet and outlet revenues.

For further discussion, see “Reporting Periods” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the firstsecond quarter of 2009, RevPAR decreased significantly across all of our hotel property types.types due to the overall decline in lodging demand. RevPAR at our resort/conference properties have been particularly affected by the current economic recession due to reduced consumer spending. RevPAR at our urban, airport and suburban hotels also declined due to the overall decline in lodging demand.

(a)The reporting period for our comparable operating statistics for the first quarter ofyear-to-date periods ended June 19, 2009 and June 13, 2008 is from January 3, 2009 to March 27,June 19, 2009 and for the first quarter of 2008 is from December 29, 2007 to March 21, 2008.June 13, 2008, respectively. For further discussion, see “Reporting Periods” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

TheFor the second quarter of 2009, RevPAR declined significantly across all of our geographic regions when compared to the second quarter of 2008. Our DC Metro region hadsignificantly outperformed the remainder of the portfolio, with a very strong quarter, with RevPAR growthdecline of 11.7%, led by our10.3%. For the DC Metro region, the downtown properties as both groupin the region benefited from strong government and transient business performed well due to the inaugurationgovernment-related demand and other government-related activities.solid leisure business. The South Central region also outperformed onthe portfolio as a relative basiswhole as RevPAR fell 16.1%. Thisdeclined 20% for the quarter. The decline in RevPAR at the majority of the markets in this region was drivenpartially offset by the outperformance of our Houston properties primarily due to renovations at two propertiesNew Orleans property, as that market experienced an increase in the first quarter of 2008. The North Central region also outperformed on a relative basis, with RevPAR declining 16.7%, led by our downtown Chicago hotels, which benefited from favorable year-over-year comparisons as certain downtown assets were under renovation in the first quarter of 2008.

RevPAR for our Florida region fell 22.2%. While our Tampa properties outperformed due to transient performance in special corporateboth business and a lift from the Super Bowl, the rest of the region underperformed due to lowerleisure transient and group demand.room nights.

Overall RevPAR growth for our Pacific region fell 22.5%25% for the quarter, however, results varied by market. RevPAR for the San Francisco market declined 17.5%23.7% as city-wide room nightscorporate transient business declined due to cancellations and booking cycles of groups. Transient rooms also declined due to overall weakness in international, corporatelower rates affected both business and leisure demand. The Fisherman’s Wharf Marriott was also under a rooms renovation in the first quarter of this year.transient. RevPAR for our Hawaiian properties decreased 22.3%28.3% because of lower airline capacity, which led to lower leisure transient and group demand. Our properties increasedcontinue to increase promotions and significantly reduced ratesat lower price points in order to maximize occupancy.increase transient demand. RevPAR for our Seattle hotels was down 32.4%20.3% because of weaker transient business due to an unusually strong city-wide quarter in the first quarter of 2008. Transient business was affected by layoffs at several majorlarge employers in the area.

RevPAR for theour Mid-Atlantic region decreased 26.7% asdeclined 27.4% for the quarter. The decline was driven by the 30.4% RevPAR decline for our New York properties experienceddue to a decrease in group demand and rate declines for transient business. The Philadelphia market outperformed on a relative basis with a RevPAR decline of 29.4% with significant declines13.2%, which reflected the decline in both rate andaverage daily rates in the market, while occupancy where both group and leisure demand, particularly international leisure demand, declined. The Philadelphia market slightly outperformed the overall portfolioremained stable.

RevPAR for our Florida region declined 28.8% for the quarter, withquarter. The decline was due to lower transient and group demand, as well as rate reductions, though our Tampa properties performed better on a relative basis due to stronger transient business. We continue to experience weak group bookings at our luxury Florida hotels and resort destinations as RevPar at all three of our Ritz-Carlton hotels in the Florida region declined between 30% and 39%. RevPAR decrease of 18.6%.

Thein our New England region underperformed during first quarter as RevPAR declined 30.8%28.7%. The New England region, and Boston in particular, had a very strong first half of 2008 due to strong group bookingsbookings. Conversely, in the second quarter of this year, the Boston market had approximately 37% less group room nights versus 2008, and city-wide events.two of our hotels were under renovation. The overall 37.5% decline in the International region reflects a 20.5% decline in RevPAR, based on constant U.S. dollars, with the remainder of the decline due to the relative strength of the U.S. dollar compared to 2008. Additionally, our JW Marriott, Mexico City experienced a significant decline due to the H1N1 flu pandemic.

Hotels Sales by Business Mix. The majority of our customers fall into three broad groups: transient, group and contract business. The information below is derived from business mix data for 109 of our hotels for which business mix data is available from our managers. For further detail on our business mix, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the firstsecond quarter of 2009, overall transient RevPAR decreased 22%24.3% when compared to 2008 reflecting a decline in total room nights of 5.2% and a decline in average rate of 20.2%. The decline primarily reflects a decrease in the higher-rated premium and corporate transient business, as discretionarycompanies and individual business travelers sought to cut travel and overall consumer spending have declinedother discretionary expenses in response to the current economic recession. At the same time, overall group RevPAR declined approximately 20% due to a significant increase in group cancellations, groups increasingly renegotiating rates and the overallThe decline in demand. The declines in groupcorporate and transientpremium business werewas slightly offset by an increase in room nights of 6.9%9.7% in contractthe price-sensitive transient discount business during the quarter as customers utilized discount programs implemented by our managers sought to increase occupancy through the saleand third-party travel websites offering discounted rates.

Overall group RevPAR declined approximately 26.2% reflecting a decline in total room nights of 21.1% and a decline in average room rates of 6.5%. The decline in room rate was not as steep as we experienced in our transient business as it reflected business booked in prior periods. The primary driver of the discounted contract business.decline was a significant reduction in corporate group business of 42.9%. In addition to significant reductions in corporate group meetings, this also reflects low attendance at group meetings, increases in cancellations and groups increasingly renegotiating rates.

Due to the decreased operating levels at our hotels, we have worked with our managers to lower operating expenses. As a result of these measures, and an overall decline in occupancy, we have significantly decreased the rooms, food and beverage and hotel departmental expenses.expenses have declined significantly. These operating expenses, which are both fixed and variable, are primarily affected by changes in occupancy and inflation though the effect on specific costs will vary. The primary driverdrivers for the decline in these expenses waswere the decline in wages and benefits and a decline in the wagescontrollable expense such as food and beverages cost of goods sold, as hotel managers actively cut costs to manage operating margin decline. Wages and benefits declined approximately 14% and 13% for the quarter of approximately 12.8%,and year-to-date 2009, respectively, which represents approximately 55%43% and 45%, respectively, of the overall decrease. Wedecrease in property-level operating expenses. Other controllable expenses declined approximately 23% for both the quarter and year-to-date, which represents approximately 38% and 40%, respectively, of the overall decrease in property-level operating expenses. While we expect the decreases the rooms, food and beverage and hotel departmental expensesthese costs to continue to decline throughout 2009.2009, we believe the decline will moderate when compared to the first half of the year. We also experienced a significant decline in insurance expense of approximately 30%25.6% and 27.5% for the quarter.quarter and year-to-date 2009, respectively. However, we expect this trend to reverse and that insurance expense will increase during the second half of the year. Real estate taxes increased 9%5.8% and 7.3% and utilities decreased 4.3%.13.6% and 9.3% for the quarter and year-to-date 2009, respectively.

Management fees are calculated as a percentage of total revenues, as well as the level of operating profit at each property. Therefore, the 36.5%42.3% and 39.8% decline above is duefor the quarter and year-to-date 2009 correlates to the overall decline in revenues and operating profit at our hotels. The overall decline in the operating expenses at our hotels was offset by an increase in depreciation expense due to non-cash impairment charges.

We recorded impairment charges on two hotels of approximately $40$91 million and $131 million during the quarter.second quarter and year-to-date 2009, respectively. We recordidentified properties to be tested for impairment chargesbased on our hotels when thecertain events or circumstances occur that indicateoccurred which indicated that their carrying amount may not be recoverable as compared to projected undiscounted cash flows, as prescribed by GAAP. We tested these properties for impairment based on management’s estimate of expected future undiscounted cash flows over our expected holding period. As a result of these analyses, we recorded non-cash property impairment charges totaling $57 million for the second quarter and $97 million year-to-date based on the difference between the fair value of these properties and their carrying amounts. Of these property impairment

charges, $57 million and $76 million for second quarter and year-to-date, respectively, have been included in depreciation expense and $19 million was included in discontinued operations for the year-to-date period. See “Critical Accounting Policies” for further discussion.

Additionally, we evaluate the recoverability of our investment in affiliates based on our assessment of the fair value of our investment in comparison to our carrying value. During the second quarter of 2009, we determined that the carrying value may not be recoverable.of our investment in our joint venture in Europe exceeded its fair value on an other than temporary basis. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $34 million which is included in equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates. See “Critical Accounting Policies – Impairment”.Policies” for further discussion.

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, travel, corporate insurance, audit fees, building rent and systemsystems costs. The $3 million increase in corporate expenses for the quarter is primarily due to an increase in share-based payments expense as we experienced historically low executive compensation awards in 2008.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $4decreased $6 million for the first quarter ofand decreased $2 million year-to-date 2009. Interest expense includes $6 million and $7 million of non-cash interest expense for the quarters ended March 27,June 19, 2009 and March 21,June 13, 2008, includes $7 million of non-cash interestrespectively, associated with the implementation of FSP 14-1.a new U.S. GAAP requirement. See “Implementation of New Accounting Standards.” Interest expense includes $13 million and $14 million of non-cash interest expense related to our exchangeable debentures for year-to-date 2009 and 2008, respectively, associated with the implementation of the requirement.

Net income/loss attributable to non-controlling interests. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased $10$11 million and $20 million for the first quarter ofand year-to-date 2009. The decrease during the quarter is primarily attributable to the decrease in the net income of Host LP of $123$262 million and a$385 million and also includes the decline in the net income attributable to non-controlling interests in other consolidated partnerships of $7 million.$1 million and $6 million for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.

Equity in Earnings (losses) of Affiliates.Our share of income of affiliates decreased by $33 million and $36 million for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the $34 million non-cash impairment charge related to our investment in the joint venture in Europe described above.

Discontinued Operations. Discontinued operations consist of one hotel disposed of in 2009, three hotels classified as held-for-sale and two hotels disposed of during 2008 and represent the results of operations and the gains on the disposition of these hotels during the periods. For year-to-date 2009, discontinued operations include a non-cash impairment charge of $19 million. The following table summarizes the revenues, income before taxes, and the gain on dispositions, net of tax, of the hotels which have been reclassified to discontinued operations, which includes assets held for sale and the results of sold hotels prior to their disposition, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements

We seek to maintain a capital structure and liquidity profile with an appropriate balance of cash, debt and equity to provide financial flexibility given the inherent volatility in the lodging industry. During this recession, we have taken several steps to preserve capital, and increase liquidity including obtainingand extend debt maturities. Year-to-date, we have raised over $1.1 billion through debt and equity issuances and hotel sales. We have used the proceeds from these transactions and available cash to repay $101 million face amount of senior notes and debentures at a $120discount of approximately $10 million, mortgage loan secured byto repay the JW Marriott, Washington, D.C. in the first quarter of 2009, drawing $200 million onoutstanding under the revolver portion of our credit facility and to repay $209 million in 2008,mortgage debt. We intend to use the remaining proceeds to repay our near-term debt maturities and to maintain higher than historical cash levels. Due to continuing uncertainty in the credit markets, we have implemented several other cash-saving initiatives at both the corporate and hotel-level, which include suspending, until the fourth quarter, our quarterly dividend to common stockholders for 2009 and implementing cost saving initiatives at both the corporate and hotel level. These cost saving initiatives include an anticipated reduction in our 2009significantly reducing capital expenditures to approximately one-half of the 2008 level. We believe, as a result of these efforts and the overall strength of our balance sheet, we have sufficient liquidity and access to the capital markets to withstand the anticipated decline in operating cash flow in 2009, pay our near-term debt maturities and fund our capital expenditure programs and maintain compliance with our debt financial covenants. We continue to maintain higher than historical cash levels due to uncertainty in the credit markets, and we intend to do so until the credit markets stabilize.programs.

Host uses cash primarily for acquisitions, capital expenditures, debt payments and dividends to stockholders. As a REIT, Host is required to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gain, on an annual basis. During 2009, we mayexpect to take advantage of the ability to satisfy up to 90% of our REIT dividend requirements through the issuance of dividends in the form of common stock dividends in order to conserve cash. Funds used by Host to make thesecash distributions are provided by Host LP.

Capital Resources. As a REIT, we depend primarily on external sources of capital to finance future growth, including acquisitions, and to fund our near-term debt maturities and increase our liquidity. DespiteDuring the difficult credit market environment,second quarter we are pursuing several alternatives to further strengthen our balance sheet and increase liquidity, including our announced plan to sellissued 75,750,000 shares of common stock.stock at $6.60 per share and received net proceeds of approximately $480 million and issued $400 million 9% Series T senior notes due May 2017 for net proceeds of $380 million. Additionally, subsequent to quarter end, we sold three of our non-core properties for net proceeds of approximately $64 million. In addition to these transactions, we mayalso seek to obtain additionalcapital through secured financing and have been investigating opportunities for securing mortgage debt or issue senior notes and pursue the dispositionon certain of non-core assets.our properties. As of March 27,July 23, 2009, 10299 of our hotels are unencumbered by mortgage debt. We have been negotiating with lenders to secure mortgage debt on certain of these properties. Additionally, we are currently marketing several of our non-core properties for sale and expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $100 million from these dispositions during the remainder of 2009.

Cash Balances. As of March 27,June 19, 2009, we had $653 million$1.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents, which was an increase of $145$838 million from December 31, 2008. We also currently have $400$600 million available under our credit facility.

Debt Transactions.On March 23,In May 2009, we obtained a $120our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $700 million mortgage loan on the JW Marriott, Washington, D.C. that matures April 2, 2013, with an additional one-year extension subject to certain conditions. In the first quarter, we also repurchased $75 million face value of the 2004 Debentures with a carrying value of $72 million for approximately $69 million and recorded a gain on the repurchase of approximately $3 million. On March 11, 2009, we repaid the $33.6 million Westin Indianapolis mortgage loan. We are currently negotiating with our existing lender on refinancing the $175 million mortgage on the San Diego Marriott Marina and Resort Hotel which we anticipate closing by July 2009.

We may continue to redeem or refinance senior notes (which include ourand exchangeable senior debentures) and mortgage debt from time to time when market conditions are favorable.debentures. We may purchase senior notes for cash through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, a tender offeroffers 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 Funds From Operations, or 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. See “Cash Provided by Financing Transactions” for detail on our 2009 debt transactions.

Acquisitions and Dispositions. On February 17,July 9, 2009, we sold the Sheraton Stamford Hotel and the Washington Dulles Marriott Suites for net proceeds of approximately $36 million. On July 16, 2009, we sold the Boston Marriott Newton for net proceeds of approximately $28 million. We will recognize a gain on the disposition of these three properties of approximately $10 million, net of tax, in the third quarter. During the first quarter of 2009, we sold the Hyatt Regency Boston for net proceeds of approximately $113 million including the return of reserves held by the manager. We recognizedand recorded a gain on the dispositionsale of approximately $20 million, net of tax, in 2009.million.

We expect acquisition opportunities will continue to be limited for the near term in domestic and international markets due to the turmoil in the credit markets and uncertainty regarding the operating outlook. While the economic outlook is still uncertain,However, we

believe that as the credit markets improve andcurrent operating environment, combined with the industry outlook becomes more visible, acquisitionsignificant number of industry-wide hotel acquisitions over the past several years financed with very high levels of debt, will result in owners and/or lenders marketing these types of properties for sale due to their inability to repay the debt at maturity. We expect to be able to take advantage of these opportunities will increase.to acquire properties that meet our investment criteria. We expect that our acquisitions will be financed through a combination of methods, including proceeds from sales of properties from our existing portfolio, the incurrence of debt, available cash, advances under our credit facility, proceeds from equity offerings of Host, or issuance of OP units by Host LP.

Capital Expenditures. Our capital expenditures generally fall into three broad categories: renewal and replacement expenditures, repositioning/return on investment, (or ROI)or ROI, projects and value enhancement projects. ROI/repositioningRepositioning /ROI capital expenditures are selective capital improvements outside the scope of the typical renewal and replacement capital expenditures. These projects include, for example, significant repositionings of guest rooms, lobbies or food and beverage platforms, expanding ballroom, spa or conference facilities and installing energy conservation devices and systems. Value enhancement projects are intended to enhance the value of our portfolio by identifying and executing strategies designed to maximize the highest and best use of all aspects of our properties, such as the development of timeshare or condominium units on excess land.

During the first quarter ofFor year-to-date 2009, total capital expenditures decreased $42$118 million to $108$192 million. Our renewal and replacement capital expenditures during the first quarter offor year-to-date 2009 were approximately $49$91 million, which reflects a decrease of approximately 40%46.5% from 2008 levels. We expect total renewal and replacement capital expenditures for 2009 to be approximately $170 million to $180 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. We also spent approximately $59$101 million during the first quarter offor year-to-date 2009 on repositioning/ROI projects, which reflects a decrease of approximately 15% over27.9% compared to 2008 levels. We expect total repositioning/ROI expenditures for 2009 to be approximately $170 million to $180 million.million, which will represent a decline of approximately 40% from full year 2008 levels. As a result of the extensive three-year capital expenditure program which was completed in 2008, we believe that our properties will remain in a strong competitive position with respect to their market competitors despite our reduction in capital expenditures in 2009.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of cash are operations, the sale of assets, and proceeds from debt and equity issuances and refinancing. Our principal uses of cash are debt repayments and repurchases, capital expenditures, operating costs, corporate expenses and distributions to equity holders.

Cash Provided by Operations. Cash provided by operations during the first quarter offor year-to-date 2009 decreased $109$186 million to $120$255 million compared to the first quarter ofyear-to-date 2008, due primarily to declines in operations at our hotels.

Cash Provided byUsed in Investing Activities. Approximately $41$51 million of cash was provided byused in investing activities during the first quarterhalf of 2009. This included an approximateapproximately $192 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by a $39 million return of capital froman investment in the European joint venture and $108 million of net proceeds from the disposition of the Hyatt Regency Boston hotel, partially offset by $108 millionBoston.

$6002007million25/8% Exchangeable Senior Debentures. On March 23, 2007, Host LP issued the $600 million 2007 Debentures and received proceeds of $589 million, net of underwriting fees and expenses and original issue discount. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2009, we repurchased $22 million face amount of the 2007 Debentures for approximately $18 million. As of July 23, 2009, we have $578 million face amount of the 2007 Debentures that remain outstanding. The 2007 Debentures mature on April 15, 2027 and are equal in right of payment with all of our other senior notes. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year beginning on July 15, 2007. We can redeem for cash all, or part of, the 2007 Debentures at any time on or after April 20, 2012 upon 15 days notice at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. Holders have the right to require us to repurchase the 2007 Debentures on April 15, 2012, April 15, 2017 and April 15, 2022 for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. Holders may exchange their 2007 Debentures prior to maturity under certain conditions, including when the closing sale price of Host’s common stock is more than 130% of the exchange price per share for at least 20 of 30 consecutive trading days during certain periods or any time up to two days prior to the date on which the debentures have been called for redemption. On exchange, we must deliver cash in an amount equal to not less than the lower of the exchange value (which is the applicable exchange rate multiplied by the average price of our common shares) and the aggregate principal amount of the 2007 Debentures to be exchanged and, at our option, shares, cash or a combination thereof for any excess above the principal value. If we elect to redeem the debentures and the exchange value exceeds the cash redemption price, we would expect holders to elect to exchange their debentures at the exchange value described above rather than receive the cash redemption price. The current exchange rate is 31.35 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures, which is equivalent to an exchange price of $31.90 per share of Host common stock. The exchange rate may be adjusted under certain circumstances including the payment of common dividends exceeding $.20 per share in any given quarter. The 2007 Debentures are not currently exchangeable.

$500million 3.25%2004 Exchangeable Senior Debentures. On March 16, 2004, Host LP issued the $500 million 2004 Debentures and received proceeds of $484 million, net of discounts, underwriting fees and expenses. During 2009, we repurchased $75 million face valueamount of the 2004 Debentures for approximately $69 million and recorded a gain on the purchase of approximately $3 million. As of March 27,July 23, 2009, we have repurchased $175 million face valueamount of the 2004 Debentures and, as a result, $325 million face amount of the 2004 Debentures remain outstanding. The outstanding 2004 Debentures mature on April 15, 2024 and are equal in right of payment with all of our other senior notes. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. Holders have the right to require us to repurchase the 2004 Debentures on April 15, 2010, April 15, 2014 and April 15, 2019 for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount. Holders may exchange their 2004 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 consecutive trading days during certain periods or any time up to two days prior to the date on which the debentures have been called for redemption. The current exchange rate is 63.36963.3687 shares for each $1,000 of principal amount of the 2004 Debentures, (which is equivalent to an exchange price of $15.78 per share). The exchange rate may be adjusted under certain circumstances, including the payment of common dividends. We can redeem for cash all or part of the 2004 Debentures at any time subsequent to April 19, 2009 upon 30 days notice at the applicable redemption price as set forth in the indenture. If we elect to redeem the debentures and the exchange value exceeds the cash redemption price, we would expect holders to elect to exchange their debentures for stock rather than receive the cash redemption price. The 2004 Debentures are not currently exchangeable.

Financial Covenants

FinancialCredit Facility Covenants. Our credit facility contains certain important financial covenants concerning allowable leverage, unsecured interest coverage and required fixed charge coverage. Due to the decline in operations during the year, our unsecured interest coverage . As of March 27, 2009, our leverage ratio was 4.3x versus the 7.5x maximum leverage ratio allowed under the credit facility and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.5x versus the 1.05x minimum fixed charge coveragehave declined and our leverage ratio allowed under the credit facility. We are in compliance with all of our financial covenants under the credit facility as of March 27, 2009.has increased relative to year end 2008. Total debt used in the calculation of our leverage ratio is based on a “net debt” concept under which cash and cash equivalents in excess of $100 million is deducted from our total debt balance. To the extent no amounts are outstanding under the credit facility and we have repaid the term loan, a violation of these covenants would not be a default.

We are in compliance with all of our financial covenants under the credit facility. The following table summarizes the financial tests contained in the credit facility as of June 19, 2009:

*Declines to 7.25x in September 2009.

Senior Notes Indenture Covenants.Under the terms of our senior notes indenture, our ability to incur indebtedness and pay dividends is subject to certain restrictions and the satisfaction of various financial conditions, including maintaining a certain EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio and levels of indebtedness and secured indebtedness relative to adjusted total assets. As noted above, the decline in operations has caused a similar decline in our EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio relative to year-end 2008. Even if we are below the coverage levels otherwise required to incur debt and pay dividends, we are still permitted to incur certain types of debt, including (i) credit facility debt, (ii) refinancing debt, (iii) up to $300 million of mortgage debt whose proceeds would be used to repay debt under the credit facility (and permanently reduce our ability to borrow under the credit facility by such amount), and (iv) up to $100 million of other debt.

In addition, our senior notes indenture also imposes a requirement to maintain unencumbered assets (as defined in the indenture based on undepreciated property values) of not less than 125% of the aggregate amount of senior note debt plus other debt not secured by mortgages. This coverage must be maintained at all times and is distinct from the coverage requirements necessary to incur debt or to pay dividends as discussed above (whose consequences, where we fall below the coverage level, are limited to restricting our ability to incur new debt or to pay dividends, but which would not otherwise cause a default under our senior notes indenture).

We are in compliance with all of our financial covenants under the senior notes indenture. The following table summarizes the financial tests contained in the senior notes indenture as of June 19, 2009:

European Joint Venture

We hold a 32.1% ownership interest in a joint venture based in Europe that owns 11 hotel properties located in six countries. As discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies – Impairment Testing”, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge totaling $34 million in the second quarter based on the difference between our investment’s estimated fair value and its carrying value. This impairment is included in equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates in the consolidated statements of operations.

In addition to mortgages on other properties, the European joint venture currently has mortgage loans totaling €345 million that are due in 2013 that are secured by six properties. The loans are cross-collateralized, meaning that a default under one loan could trigger a default on the loans for the other five properties. Due to the significant decline in operations in Europe, the joint venture may trigger covenant defaults or non-payment defaults under these mortgage loans later this year. The joint venture has the right to cure certain covenants, including a debt service coverage and loan to value covenant, a limited number of times by making cash deposits. The European joint venture has initiated discussions with its lenders with a view towards a possible work-out of the loans or waiver of certain covenants. If covenant defaults are triggered, discussions with lenders are unsuccessful, and the joint venture does not elect to cure the defaults, the lenders may, among other remedies, accelerate the loans. These mortgage loans are non-recourse to Host and our partners and a default under these loans does not trigger a default under any of Host’s debt.

Dividend Policy

Host is required to distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to its stockholders to maintain its qualification as a REIT, including taxable income recognized for federal income tax purposes but with regard to which we do not receive cash. Funds used by Host 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 Host, Host LP has issued to Host a corresponding common OP unit and preferred OP unit. As of March 27,June 19, 2009, Host is the owner of substantially all of the preferred OP units and approximately 97%98% of the common OP units. The remaining 3% of the common OP units are held by various third-party limited partners.

Investors should take into account the 3%2% non-controlling interest in Host LP common OP units when analyzing common and preferred dividend payments by Host to its stockholders, as these holders share, on a pro rata basis, in amounts being distributed by Host LP to holders of its corresponding common and preferred OP units. When Host pays a cash common or preferred dividend, Host LP pays an equivalent per unit distribution on all common or corresponding preferred OP units. For example, if Host paid a $1 per share dividend on its common stock, it would be based on payment of a $1 per unit distribution by Host LP to Host, as well as to other common OP unit holders.

Host’s current policy on common dividends is generally to distribute, over time, 100% of its taxable income. Without giving effectHost intends to any issuancedeclare a common dividend of $.23 to $.25 per share in the first half of September 2009. The common dividend is expected to consist of cash in the amount of approximately $.03 per share with the remainder to be paid with shares of common stock, we currently expectboth of which will be taxable to declare a $.30 to $.35 per shareshareholders. The common dividend in the fourth quarter, which may be paid either in cash or in a combination of cash and shares of Host common stock. The amount of any dividend will be determined by Host’s Board of Directors. In reliance on the specific terms of recent guidance issuedpaid by the IRS, we may pay up to 90%end of our required 2009 common dividends with Host common stock, with the remaining 10% paid with cash. Host currently2009. The Company intends to continue paying dividendsa cash dividend on its preferred stock, regardless of its amount of taxable income, unless contractually restricted. The amount of any dividend will be determined by Host’s Board of Directors.

On March 16,June 15, 2009, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.5546875 per share on our Class E cumulative redeemable preferred stock. The dividend was paid on AprilJuly 15, 2009 to preferred stockholders of record as of MarchJune 30, 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While we do not believe the reported amounts would be materially different, application of these policies involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. We evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to the impairment of long-lived assets, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies, including certain critical accounting policies, are disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K.

Impairment Testing

We analyze our assets for impairment when events or circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We consider a property to be impaired when the sum of future undiscounted cash flows over our remaining estimated holding period is less than the carrying value of the asset. For impaired assets, we record an impairment charge equal to the excess of the property’s carrying value over its fair value. To the extent that a property has a substantial remaining estimated useful life and management does not believe that it is more likely than not the property will be disposed of prior to the end of its useful life, it would be unusual for undiscounted cash flows to be insufficient to recover the property’s carrying value. In the absence of other factors, we assume that the estimable life is equal to the GAAP depreciable life, because of the continuous property maintenance and improvement capital expenditures required under our management agreements, unless situations dictate otherwise, such as an expiring ground lease, or it is more likely than not that the asset will be sold prior to its previously expected useful life.

We test for impairment in several situations, including when a property has current or projected loss from operations, when it becomes more likely than not that a hotel will be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life, or when other events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. In the evaluation of the impairment of our assets, we make many assumptions and estimates, including:

projected cash flows, both from operations and the eventual disposition;

expected useful life and holding period;

future required capital expenditures; and,

fair values, including consideration of capitalization rates, discount rates and comparable selling prices.

As a preliminary indicator to determine if the carrying value may not be recovered by undiscounted cash flows, we review the actual year-to-date and the projected cash flows from operations to identify properties with projected annual operating losses. The projected cash flows are prepared by our third-party managers and consider items such as booking pace, occupancy, room rate and property-level operating costs. We review the projections and may adjust them as we deem appropriate. As a result of this test, we identified several properties that required further consideration of property and market specific conditions or factors to determine if the property was impaired. Management considered a range of RevPAR and operating margin declines compared to the prior year operating results in evaluating the projected cash flows from operations. Management believes its assumptions and estimates reflect the current market conditions and will adjust these measures as appropriate for changes therein.

In addition to the properties with current or projected operating losses identified through the analysis described above, we also identified several properties that may be sold prior to the end of their previously estimated useful lives. Properties exhibiting these characteristics are tested for impairment based on management’s estimate of expected future undiscounted cash flows from operations and sale over our expected remaining hold period. The fair value of these properties is generally determined based on either a discounted cash flow analysis or negotiated sales prices. Based on these assessments, we have recorded non-cash impairment charges totaling $57 million and $97 million in the second quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 19, 2009, respectively. Impairment charges are classified within depreciation and amortization on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the second quarter of 2009, we reclassified $19 million of impairment charges associated with a property that was held for sale as of June 19, 2009.

We hold a 32.1% ownership interest in a joint venture based in Europe that owns 11 hotel properties located in six countries. The terms of this joint venture agreement limit the life of the investment to 2016, with two one-year extensions. We review our investment for other than temporary impairment based on the occurrence of any events that would indicate that the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value on an other-than-temporary basis. We used certain inputs such as available third-party appraisals and forecast net operating income for the hotel properties to estimate the fair value of our investment in the joint venture as of June 19, 2009. We determined that our investment was impaired based on the reduction of distributable cash flows from the joint venture, which has been caused primarily by a decline in cash flows generated by the properties. We believe this impairment to be other than temporary as defined by GAAP because the time period over which the joint venture may be able to improve operations such that our investment would be fully recoverable is constrained by the remaining life of the joint venture. As a result, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge totaling $34 million in the second quarter based on the difference between our investment’s estimated fair value and its carrying value. This impairment is included in equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates in the consolidated statement of operations.

Application of New Accounting Standards

Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)

As a result of the adoption of a new accounting requirement regarding the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement), we have retroactively adjusted the recognition of our exchangeable debentures such that we will now separately account for the liability and equity components of the debentures to reflect our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the instrument’s issuance date when interest cost is recognized. Our 25/8% Exchangeable Senior Debentures (the “2007 Debentures”) and our 31/4% Exchangeable Senior Debentures (“the 2004 Debentures”) are within the scope of the new accounting requirement; therefore, we are required to record the debt components of the debentures at fair value as of the date of issuance and amortize the resulting discount as an increase to interest expense over the expected life of the debt. We measured the fair value of the debt components of the 2004 Debentures and 2007 Debentures at issuance based on effective interest rates of 6.8% and 6.5%, respectively. As a result, we attributed $165 million of the proceeds received to the conversion feature of the debentures. This amount represents the excess proceeds received over the fair value of the debt at the date of issuance and is included in additional paid-in capital on the accompanying balance sheets. The implementation of the new accounting requirement has resulted in a decrease to net income and earnings per share for all periods presented; however, there is no effect on our cash interest payments. As a result of this accounting change:

The unamortized discount of the 2004 Debentures and 2007 Debentures related to the implementation was $60 million and $76 million as of June 19, 2009 and December 31, 2009.2008, respectively. The unamortized discount is recognized as a reduction to the carrying value of the debentures on the consolidated balance sheets. Beginning stockholders’ equity was increased by $76 million as a result of this adoption.

Interest expense recorded for the 2004 and 2007 Debentures for the periods presented consists of the following (in millions):

During the first quarter of 2009, we repurchased $75 million face amount of the 2004 Debentures with a carrying value of $72 million for $69 million. We recognized a $3 million gain on the transaction. We evaluated the fair value of the debt repurchased based on the fair value of the cash flows at the date of the repurchase discounted at risk adjusted rates. Based on this calculation, the fair value of the debt repurchased was greater than the conversion price; therefore, we did not allocate any of the repurchase price to the conversion feature of the debentures.

The diluted earnings per common share for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 13, 2008 were reduced from the previously reported amounts by approximately $.01 for both periods.

We reclassified approximately $1 million of unamortized financing costs to stockholders’ equity as these costs were attributable to the issuance of the conversion feature associated with the debentures.

Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements

As a result of the adoption of new accounting requirements regarding non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements, non-controlling interests of other consolidated partnerships (previously referred to as “Interest of minority partners of other consolidated partnerships”) is now included as a separate component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The consolidated statements of operations have also been modified to present earnings and other comprehensive income to be attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests. Below are the steps we have taken as a result of the implementation of this standard:

We have reclassified the non-controlling interests of other consolidated partnerships previously presented in the mezzanine section of our balance sheets to equity. This reclassification totaled $24 million as of December 31, 2008.

Non-controlling interests of Host LP will continue to be classified in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet as these redeemable OP Units do not meet the requirements for equity classification. The redemption feature requires the delivery of cash or registered shares of stock.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests of Host LP and of other non-consolidated partnerships is no longer included in the determination of net income, and we reclassified prior year amounts to reflect this requirement. As a result, net income increased $10 million and $18 million from previously reported amounts for the second quarter and year-to-date periods ending June 13, 2008, respectively. The adoption of this requirement has no effect on our earnings per share.

We adjust the non-controlling interests of Host LP each period so that the carrying value equals the greater of its carrying value based on the accumulation of historical cost or its redemption value. The historical cost of the non-controlling interests of Host LP is based on the proportional relationship between the carrying value of equity associated with our common stockholders relative to that of the unitholders of Host LP, as OP Units may be exchanged into common stock on a one-for-one basis. Net income is allocated to the non-controlling partners of Host LP based on their weighted average ownership percentage during the period. As of June 19, 2009, the non-controlling interests of Host LP have a redemption value of approximately $90 million (based on June 19, 2009 Host closing common stock price of $7.66), which represents the amount of cash or Host stock, at our option, that would be paid to the outside non-controlling partners of Host LP, which is less than the historical cost of $115 million.

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 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.

All of our 116 hotels that we owned on March 27,June 19, 2009, including the three hotels held-for-sale at June 19, 2009, have been classified as comparable hotels.

The operating results of the three hotels we disposed of duringas of June 19, 2009 and during 2008 are not included in comparable hotel results for the periods presented herein. Moreover, because these statistics and operating results are for our hotel properties, they exclude results for our non-hotel properties and other real estate investments.

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

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

(a)In accordance with the guidance on FFO per diluted share provided by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, we do not adjust net income for the non-cash impairment charges when determining our FFO per diluted share. See note (2) to “Scheduled of Significant Items Affecting Earnings per Diluted Share and Funds From Operations per Diluted Share” for further discussion.
(b)Represents FFO attributable to the non-controlling interests in Host LP.
(c)During the first quarter of 2009, the Company repurchased $75 million of face value of the 2004 Debentures with a carrying value of $72 million for $69 million. Under FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D-53, “Computation of Earnings per Share for a Period that Includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a Class of Preferred Stock” (EITF D-53), we are required to determine the dilutive effect of the repurchased 2004 Exchangeable Debentures separately from the 2004 Exchangeable Debentures outstanding at March 27, 2009. The 2004 Debentures repurchased during 2009 are treated as having been converted to common stock equivalents at the start of the period. Accordingly, the adjustments to dilutive FFO related to the 2004 Debentures includes $3 million gain recognized, net of interest expense of $1 million on the repurchased debentures. For the quarter ended March 27, 2009, no dilutive effect is shown for the remaining $325 million outstanding at March 27, 2009 as they are anti-dilutive.

(d)FFO per diluted share in accordance with NAREIT is adjusted for the effects of dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive stock plans, preferred OP unitsUnits held by minoritynon-controlling partners, exchangeable debt securities and other minoritynon-controlling interests that have the option to convert their limited partnership interest to common OP units.Units. No effect is shown for securities if they are anti-dilutive.
(e)(c)During the first quarter of 2009, we repurchased $75 million face amount of the 2004 Debentures with a carrying value of $72 million for $69 million. The following table presents significant items affecting earnings per share and adjustments to dilutive FFO related to the 2004 Debentures repurchased during the year include the $3 million gain on repurchase, net of interest expense on the repurchased debentures.

Comparable Hotel Operating Results

We present certain operating results for our hotels, such as hotel revenues, expenses and adjusted operating profit, on a comparable hotel, or “same store” basis as supplemental information for investors. 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 presents certain operating results and statistics for our comparable hotels for the periods presented herein:

Interest Rate Sensitivity

As of March 27,June 19, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 85.9%89.7% and 88.1%, respectively, of our outstanding debt bore interest at fixed rates. See Item 7A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10–K.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

As we have non-U.S. operations (specifically, the ownership of hotels in Canada, Mexico and Chile and investments in our European joint venture), currency exchange risk arises as a normal part of our business. To manage the currency exchange risk applicable to ownership in non-U.S. hotels, where possible, we may enter into forward or option contracts. The foreign currency exchange agreements that we have entered into were strictly to hedge foreign currency risk and not for trading purposes.

During 2008, we entered into three foreign currency forward purchase contracts totaling €60 million (approximately $88 million) to hedge a portion of the foreign currency exposure resulting from the eventual repatriation of our net investment in the European joint venture. These derivatives are considered a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, and, in accordance with SFAS 133, are marked-to-market with changes in fair value recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income within the stockholders’ equity portion of our balance sheet. We also evaluate counterparty credit risk in the calculation of the fair value of the swaps. For the quarter,Year-to-date, we recorded an increasea decrease in the fair value of the derivative instruments totaling approximately $2$3 million. The fair value of the derivative instruments as of March 27,June 19, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $8$3 million and $6 million, respectively, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
