Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Partners

Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. Retirement and Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2007 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

RETIREMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. PLAN DESCRIPTION

The following description of the Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. Retirement and Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. (the “Plan Sponsor”), a majority owned subsidiary of Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”), adopted a retirement plan and trust effective December 30, 1995. The Plan is a defined contribution plan established by the Plan Sponsor under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), which includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement as described in Section 401(k) of the IRC, for the benefit of eligible employees of the Plan Sponsor. The Plan covers all employees. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended.

Contributions

Participants may elect to defer from 1% to 20% of their compensation, as defined by the Plan, subject to certain limitations under the IRC. The Plan requires employer matching contributions of 50% of the participants’ contribution up to 6% of each participant’s compensation. The Plan also allows for discretionary employer contributions for each eligible participant based upon approval of the Board of Directors of the Company. The discretionary employer contributions were approximately $566,000 and $466,000 for 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Participant Accounts

Individual accounts are maintained for each of the Plan’s participants to reflect the participant’s contributions, employer’s contributions, and the participant’s share of the Plan’s income and administrative expenses. Participant accounts are valued on a daily basis.

Vesting

Participants are immediately fully vested in their contributions and the earnings thereon. A participant vests in their employer matching contributions, additional contributions, and earnings thereon according to the following schedule of service:

 

Two years

   25 %

Three years

   50  

Four years

   75  

Five or more years

   100  

Participant Loans

Participant loans are made available to all participants who have a vested account balance. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of a participant’s vested account balance. Additionally, interest rates are equal to the prime rate on the date the loan is issued

Table of Contents

RETIREMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

and there is a $50 processing fee per loan. Participants may have no more than two loans outstanding at any one time. The interest rates on outstanding loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006 ranged from 4.0% to 8.25%.

Payment of Benefits

On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant may elect to: (a) receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account, (b) roll over the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account into another qualified plan or (c) receive annual installments over a specified period. Participants may also receive hardship withdrawals, as defined, in a lump-sum payment in an amount up to 100% of the participants’ balance under certain circumstances other than those previously discussed.

Forfeited Accounts

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $179,242 and $73,133, respectively, and are unallocated to participant accounts. The accounts are held in the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund. Forfeitures may be used to pay administrative expenses of the Plan and to reduce future employer contributions. During 2007 and 2006, the Plan Sponsor did not use forfeitures to reduce employer contributions. In the event a former participant returns to the Plan, he or she would be eligible to reclaim these amounts under certain circumstances.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and the AICPA Statement of Position 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. As required by the FSP, the statement of net assets available for benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Plan’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of

Table of Contents

RETIREMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan has investments in registered investment companies (“mutual funds”), common/collective trusts and in the Company’s common stock. Effective January 1, 2008, investments in the Company’s common stock will no longer be permitted in the Plan. All investments in the Company’s common stock are to be liquidated by December 31, 2008. The Plan’s investments in mutual funds and the Company’s common stock are stated at fair market value based on quoted market prices. The Plan’s investments in common/collective trusts are carried at fair value using the value of the underlying securities and are adjusted from fair value to contract value as the investments in the common/collective trusts are fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Operating Expenses

All material expenses of maintaining the Plan are paid by the Plan Sponsor.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Plan Sponsor does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

NOTE 3. TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Plan Sponsor by a letter dated February 29, 2000, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

 

NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS

The fair value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan’s net assets or qualify as party-in-interest transactions (defined in note 5 below), as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

NOTE 5. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds and common collective trusts managed by T. Rowe Price. Additionally, certain Plan investments are in the Company’s common stock. T. Rowe Price is the trustee, as defined by the Plan, and the Company is the parent of the Plan Sponsor. Therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The participant loans and other receivables of the Plan are considered party-in-interest transactions as they are loans to and receivables from Plan participants. The fair value of these investments as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are included in note 4 above.

 

NOTE 6. PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Plan Sponsor has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their employer contributions.

 

NOTE 7. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.

The Plan invests in collective trust funds which include securities with contractual cash flows which may include asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage backed securities. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, delinquencies or defaults, or both, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

 

NOTE 8. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FORM 5500

The following is a reconciliation from the financial statements to the Form 5500 of net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2007:

 

     2007

Net assets available for benefits as reported in the financial statements

   $ 36,943,900

Adjustment from contract value to fair value for fully benefit responsive investment contracts, as reported in the Form 5500

     29,038
      

Net assets available for benefits as reported in the Form 5500

   $ 36,972,938
      

No adjustment was required for the year ended December 31, 2006 as the fully benefit responsive investment contracts were reported in the Form 5500 at contract value.
