NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 represent (i) Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Corporation”), including Sheraton Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries and Starwood Hotels & Resorts and its subsidiaries (the “Trust” and together with the Corporation, “Starwood” or the “Company”), and (ii) the Trust.

      The Trust was formed in 1969 and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code. The Corporation was formed by the Trust in 1980. As a result of a reorganization of the Corporation and the Trust in January 1999, the Trust became a subsidiary of the Corporation, which indirectly holds all outstanding Class A shares of beneficial interest of the Trust. Each outstanding common share of beneficial interest of the Trust was converted to one non-voting share of beneficial interest of the Trust, which with the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation, trade together on a one-to-one basis (“Shares”).

      The Company is one of the largest hotel and leisure companies in the world and the Trust is one of the largest REITs in the United States. The Company’s principal business is hotel and leisure, which is comprised of a worldwide hospitality network of more than 740 full-service hotels as well as vacation ownership resorts primarily serving two markets: luxury and upscale. The Company’s hotel operations are represented in nearly every major world market.

      The Corporation, through its subsidiaries, is the general partner of, and held, as of June 30, 2002, an aggregate 98.0% partnership interest in, SLC Operating Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The Trust, through its subsidiaries, is the general partner of, and held an aggregate 97.2% partnership interest in, SLT Realty Limited Partnership (the “Realty Partnership” and, together with the Operating Partnership, the “Partnerships”) as of June 30, 2002. The units of the Partnerships (“LP Units”) held by the limited partners of the respective Partnerships are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Shares. At June 30, 2002, there were approximately 5.8 million LP Units outstanding (including 4.3 million LP Units held by the Corporation). For all periods presented, the LP Units are assumed to have been converted to Shares for purposes of calculating basic and diluted weighted average Shares outstanding.

     Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections.” This statement eliminates the exception to classifying all gains and losses related to the extinguishment of debt as extraordinary items. As a result, such gains and losses may only be classified as extraordinary if they are both unusual and infrequent. The Company has elected to early adopt the new rules. In connection with the early extinguishment of debt in April 2002, the Company incurred approximately $29 million of one-time charges, primarily associated with the termination of interest rate swap agreements discussed in Note 6. The Company recorded these charges in interest expense in the second quarter of 2002. The Company also reclassified early debt extinguishment costs of $9 million previously recorded as an extraordinary item for prior periods to conform to the current year presentation.

      In response to a FASB staff announcement in November 2001, the Company began recording the reimbursements of costs incurred on behalf of managed hotel properties and franchisees received as other

11


Table of Contents

STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS WORLDWIDE, INC.
AND STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

revenues from managed and franchised properties and the costs incurred on behalf of managed hotel property owners and franchisees as other expenses from managed and franchised properties in the first quarter of 2002. These costs relate primarily to payroll costs at managed properties where the Company is the employer. Comparative financial statements for the prior period were reclassified to conform with the presentation in the 2002 financial statements. Since the reimbursements are made based upon the costs incurred with no added margin, the adoption of this guidance has no effect on the operating income, total or per Share net income, cash flows or financial position of the Company.

      Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” In accordance with this guidance, the Company has ceased amortizing goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Intangible assets with finite lives continue to amortize on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. Adoption of this standard did not result in any impairment write-downs.

      Net income, basic earnings per Share and diluted earnings per Share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, adjusted to exclude amortization expense no longer required due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, are as follows (net of tax, in millions, except per Share data):

      During the first quarter of 2002, in connection with the implementation of SFAS No. 142, the carrying amount of certain intangible assets were reclassified to goodwill, and the related deferred tax liabilities established in 1999 of $223 million, were also reclassified to goodwill resulting in a reduction of such amounts. As a result of a recent Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulation, goodwill was further reduced by $40 million due to the reversal of tax accruals set up in conjunction with the acquisition of Westin Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. in January 1998. See Note 5 Discontinued Operations for further discussion regarding this adjustment. Goodwill increased by $12 million due to the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments.

      There were no material acquisitions resulting in goodwill or intangible assets during the six-month period ended June 30, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, net goodwill balance and net trademarks and trade names balance

      Amortization expense of $3 million and $6 million, respectively, related to intangible assets with finite lives was recorded during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002. Amortization expense relating to these assets is expected to be $13 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $13 million for each of the fiscal years 2003 through 2007.

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

 
Note 3.  Restructuring and Other Special Charges

      During the first and second quarters of 2002, the Company recorded a reversal of restructuring and other special credits of $2 million and $1 million, respectively, primarily related to a sale of its investment in an e-business venture previously deemed impaired and the collections of receivables which were previously deemed uncollectible.

      During the first quarter of 2001, the Company wrote down its investments in various e-business ventures by approximately $19 million based on the market conditions for the technology sector at the time and management’s assessment that these investments were permanently impaired. This charge was offset by the reversal of a $20 million bad debt charge taken in 1998 relating to a note receivable, which previously had not been fully performing.

      The Company had remaining accruals related to restructuring and other special charges of $90 million at June 30, 2002 and $98 million at December 31, 2001, of which $22 and $21 million, respectively, is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, these accruals consist of $63 million and $65 million, respectively, for certain litigation costs and $27 million and $33 million, respectively, primarily related to remaining lease commitments which expire through 2006.

 
Note 4.  Notes Receivable Securitizations and Sales

      At June 30, 2002, the Company has approximately $190 million in timeshare notes receivable. From time to time, the Company securitizes or sells these timeshare notes receivable. The Company accounts for its notes receivable securitizations and sales as transactions in accordance with SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities — a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125” (“SFAS No. 140”). The Company accounted for both of the transactions described below as SFAS No. 140 sales.

      In June 2002, the Company sold, without recourse, through a special purpose entity (the “SPE”), notes receivable originated by the Company’s vacation ownership operations in connection with the sale of vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”). The Company continues to service the sold notes. The Company has retained an interest (the “Retained Interests”), in the sold notes that is economically equivalent to over-collateralization and an interest-only strip, that provides credit enhancement to the third-party purchaser of the notes. The

13

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Company’s right to receive cash flows from the Retained Interests is limited to cash available after paying the SPE’s financing expenses, program fees and absorbing credit losses related to the sold notes. Net cash proceeds received from this sale of notes receivable were approximately $75 million. Gains from the sale of these notes totaled $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and are included in other hotel and leisure revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

      The key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the Retained Interests at the time of the sale were as follows: discount rate of 14%; annual prepayments based upon a curve, which yields an average expected life of prepayable notes receivable of 86 months; and expected annual gross credit losses of 2.2%.

      In June 2001, the Company sold, without recourse, through a bankruptcy-remote qualified special purpose entity (the “QSPE”), the beneficial interest in notes receivable originated by the Company’s vacation ownership operations in connection with the sale of VOIs (the “Securitization”). The Company continues to service the notes. The Company’s retained interests in the Securitization is in the form of a security (the “Beneficial Interests”) that is equivalent to over-collateralization and an interest-only strip, which provides credit enhancement to the third party investors in the QSPE. The Company’s right to receive cash flows from the Beneficial Interests is limited to cash available after paying the QSPE’s financing expenses, program fees and absorbing the QSPE’s credit losses. Gains from the Securitization totaled $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and are included in other hotel and leisure revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

      At June 30, 2002, $165 million of principal amounts of notes is outstanding under the Securitization. An additional $86 million of principal amounts of notes is outstanding under the 2002 sale of notes receivable at June 30, 2002. Delinquencies of more than 90 days on these receivables at June 30, 2002 amounted to approximately $4 million and $15,000 for the Securitization and sale of notes receivable, respectively.

      Under the Company’s Securitization and 2002 sale of notes receivable, the Company has an option to repurchase defaulted notes (as defined) included in the transactions for their outstanding principal amounts. The Company has been able to resell vacation ownership units underlying the loans that it repurchased under these provisions without incurring significant losses.

      At the time of the Securitization and the sale of notes receivable and at the end of each financial reporting period, the Company estimates the fair value of its Beneficial and Retained Interests using a discounted cash flow model. All assumptions used in the models are reviewed and updated, if necessary, based on current trends and historical experience. The Beneficial and Retained Interests are classified as either “trading” or “available-for-sale” securities in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and SFAS No. 140. The Retained Interests from the 2002 sale of notes receivable are classified as available-for-sale, with changes in fair value reported through equity in other comprehensive income. The Beneficial Interests from the 2001 Securitization are classified as trading, with changes in fair value reported through operating results.

      The Company has completed a sensitivity analysis on the net present value of the Beneficial and Retained Interests to measure the change in value associated with independent changes in individual key variables. The methodology used applied unfavorable changes that would be considered statistically significant for the key variables of prepayment rate, discount rate and expected gross credit losses. The net present value of Beneficial and Retained Interests at June 30, 2002 was approximately $28 million and approximately

14

$15 million, respectively, before any sensitivity analysis changes were applied. The decrease to the Beneficial and Retained Interests as a result of the sensitivity analysis are as follows (in millions):

Note 5. Discontinued Operations

      During the second quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a gain of $104 million from discontinued operations primarily related to IRS regulations issued earlier this year, which allow the Company to recognize a tax benefit from a loss on the 1999 sale of Caesars World, Inc. The tax loss was previously disallowed under the old regulations. The remaining gain resulted from an adjustment to the Company’s tax basis in its World Directories subsidiary, which was disposed of in early 1998. The increase in the tax basis has the effect of reducing the deferred tax liability relating to the gain on this disposition.

Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments

      The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest expense. At June 30, 2002, the Company had one outstanding interest rate swap agreement under which the Company pays a fixed rate and receives variable rates of interest (the “Interest Rate Swap Agreement”). The aggregate notional amount of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement was approximately $50 million and the estimated unrealized loss was less than $1 million as of June 30, 2002. The unrealized loss represented the fair value of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. This agreement matures December 2002 and, upon maturity, any unrealized gains or losses will be reclassified into earnings.

      In April 2002, the Company sold $1.5 billion of senior notes in two tranches — $700 million principal amount of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2007 and $800 million principal amount of 7 7/8% senior notes due 2012. The Company used the proceeds to repay all of its senior secured notes facility and a portion of its senior credit facility. Four interest rate swap agreements, which where scheduled to mature in February 2003, were in place to manage the variability of cash flows associated with these facilities. Accordingly, in April 2002, the Company terminated these four interest rate swap agreements (with a notional amount of $850 million) and realized a net loss of approximately $23 million associated with this early termination. See Note 2 for further discussion.

STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS WORLDWIDE, INC.
AND STARWOOD HOTELS & RESORTS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      At June 30, 2002, the Company also had five outstanding interest rate swap agreements under which the Company pays a floating rate and receives a fixed rate of interest (the “Fair Value Swaps”). The aggregate notional amount of the Fair Value Swaps was $1.050 billion and the estimated unrealized gain was approximately $23 million at June 30, 2002. The Fair Value Swaps hedge the change in fair value of certain fixed rate debt related to fluctuations in interest rates and mature from November 2005 through May 2007. The Fair Value Swaps modify the Company’s interest rate exposure by effectively converting debt with a fixed rate to a floating rate.

      The Company also enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency exposure associated with the Company’s foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. At June 30, 2002, the Company had two forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding with a U.S. dollar equivalent of the contractual amounts of these hedges of approximately $12 million. These contracts mature from July through October 2002 and have all been deemed effective.

      The Company does not expect its derivative financial instruments to significantly impact earnings for the next twelve months.

Note 7. Business Segment Information

      The Company has one operating segment, hotel and leisure. The hotel and leisure segment represents a worldwide network of owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels and vacation ownership resorts operated primarily under the Company’s proprietary brand names including St. Regis®, The Luxury Collection®, Sheraton®, Westin®, W® and Four Points® by Sheraton. This segment also includes hotels and resorts operated or flagged under these brand names in exchange for management and/or franchise fees. Also included are earnings from the Company’s interest in unconsolidated joint ventures and from the development and sale of vacation ownership interests.

      The performance of the hotel and leisure segment is evaluated primarily on operating income before corporate selling, general and administrative expense, interest expense, gains and losses on asset dispositions and restructuring and other special charges. The Company does not allocate these items to the segment.

      The following table presents revenues, operating income, capital expenditures and assets for the Company’s reportable segment (in millions):

(“Starwood Capital”) since its formation in 1991. Starwood Capital created the nucleus of the Company through a restructuring of the Company’s predecessor in 1995. In connection with that restructuring, Starwood Capital agreed, without receiving compensation, that with certain exceptions, Starwood Capital would not compete directly or indirectly with the Company within the United States and would present to the Company all opportunities presented to Starwood Capital to acquire fee interests in hotels in the United States and debt interests in hotels in the United States where it is anticipated that the equity will be acquired by the debt holder within one year from the acquisition of such debt (the “Starwood Capital Noncompete”). During the term of the Starwood Capital Noncompete, neither Starwood Capital nor any of its affiliates is permitted to acquire any such interest, or any ground lease interest or other equity interest, in hotels in the United States. In addition, the Company’s Corporate Opportunity Policy requires that each director and executive officer submit to the Corporate Governance Committee any opportunity that the director or executive officer reasonably believes is within the Company’s lines of business or in which the Company has an interest. The Starwood Capital Noncompete continues until no officer, director, general partner or employee of Starwood Capital is on either the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the Board of Trustees of the Trust (subject to exceptions for certain restructurings, mergers or other combination transactions with unaffiliated parties). Several properties owned or managed by the Company, including the Westin Innisbrook Resort, the Westin Mission Hills Resort and the Turnberry Hotel, were opportunities brought to the Company or its predecessors by Starwood Capital. With the approval in each case of the Corporate Governance Committee, from time to time the Company has permitted Starwood Capital to make certain hotel related investments or acquisitions in which the Company had no interest. Since 1995, a total of three such investments were made — the Radisson Golden Hotel Research Triangle as part of a mixed use property in Raleigh, North Carolina (deemed below the quality of hotel the Company targets); the acquisition of Chevy Chase Plaza, a mixed use property in Maryland that included a Holiday Inn hotel leased on a long term basis to a third party operator (no management or branding opportunity was available) and the acquisition of a small lower end hotel located

in Kobe, Japan operated by a third party at the date of acquisition and deemed unsuitable for any Starwood brand.

      Aircraft Lease. As previously disclosed, in February 1998, the Company leased a Gulfstream III Aircraft (the “GIII”) from Star Flight LLC, an affiliate of Starwood Capital. The term of the lease was one year and automatically renews for one-year terms until either party terminates the lease upon 90 days’ written notice. The rent for the aircraft, which was set at approximately 90% of fair market value (based on two estimates from unrelated third parties), is (i) a monthly payment of 1.25% of the lessor’s total costs relating to the aircraft (approximately $123,000 at the beginning of the lease with this amount increasing as additional costs are incurred by the lessor), plus (ii) $300 for each hour that the aircraft is in use. Payments to Star Flight LLC were $1,027,000, $1,682,000 and $840,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. Under the requirements of the Company’s executive security policy, Mr. Sternlicht is required to use corporate aircraft for all air travel. As a result of this policy Mr. Sternlicht has occasionally used the GIII as well as a Gulfstream IV Aircraft (“GIV”) operated by the Company for Starwood Capital business. For use of the GIII, Starwood Capital relieves the Company of lease payments for the days the plane is used and reimburses the Company for costs of operating the aircraft. For use of the GIV, Starwood Capital pays a charter rate that the Company believes is no less favorable than that which the Company could receive from an unaffiliated third party. These charter payments, lease relief and reimbursed operating costs were approximately $25,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and approximately $95,000 and $176,000 for fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively.

      Other. The Company has on occasion made loans to employees, including executive officers, principally in connection with home purchases upon relocation. As of June 30, 2002, approximately $11.5 million in loans to approximately 40 employees was outstanding of which approximately $8.8 million were non-interest bearing home loans. Officers receiving home loans in connection with relocation were Robert F. Cotter, Chief Operating Officer in June 2000, Steven R. Goldman, Executive Vice President, Acquisitions and Development in July 1998, Ronald C. Brown, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in June 1999 and David K. Norton, Executive Vice President of Human Resources in July 2000 with original principal balances of $600,000, $525,000, $600,000 and $500,000, respectively. The loans to Messrs. Cotter, Goldman and Norton are currently outstanding. The loan made to Mr. Brown was repaid in 2001. Home loans are generally due five years from the date of issuance or upon the individual’s termination and are secured by second mortgages on the employee’s home. As a result of the acquisition of ITT Corporation in 1998, restricted stock awarded to Messrs. Sternlicht, Goldman and Brown in 1996 vested at a price for tax purposes of $53 per share. This amount was taxable at ordinary income rates. By late 1998, the value of the stock had fallen below the amount of income tax owed. In order to avoid a situation in which the executives could be required to sell all of the shares acquired by them to cover income taxes, in April 1999 the Company made interest-bearing loans at the then long-term applicable federal rate of 5.67% to Mr. Sternlicht, Mr. Goldman and Mr. Brown of $1,222,000, $381,000 and $218,000 respectively, to cover the taxes payable. Accrued interest on these loans at June 30, 2002 is approximately $223,000, $69,000 and $40,000, respectively. The notes and all associated accumulated interest become due on their tenth anniversary.

      Pursuant to Mr. Sternlicht’s January 1, 2000 employment agreement, the Company has purchased a $10 million life insurance policy for Mr. Sternlicht. To date, the Company has paid approximately $100,000 in insurance premiums towards this policy.

      In July 2002, the Company acquired a 49% interest in the Westin Savannah Harbor Resort and Spa in connection with the restructuring of the indebtedness of that property. An unrelated party holds an additional 49% interest in the property. The remaining 2% is held by Troon Golf, a golf course management company that manages high end golf courses. As previously disclosed, Mr. Sternlicht owns an approximate 12% non-controlling interest in Troon Golf through an affiliate of Starwood Capital. Troon Golf invested in the project

on a pari-passu basis and manages the golf course at the Westin Savannah. The unrelated third party negotiated the terms of the golf management agreement with Troon and approved the terms of their equity interest, and therefore, the Company believes the arrangements are on an arms-length basis.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

      Guaranteed Loans and Commitments. In limited cases, the Company has made loans to owners or partners in hotel or resort ventures whereby the Company has a management or franchise agreement. Loans outstanding under this program totaled $155 million at June 30, 2002. Unfunded loan commitments aggregating $38 million were outstanding at June 30, 2002, of which $16 million are expected to be funded in 2002 and $25 million are expected to be funded in total. These loans typically are secured by pledges of project ownership interests and/or mortgages on the projects.

      The Company participates in programs with unaffiliated lenders in which the Company may partially guarantee loans made to facilitate third-party ownership of hotels that the Company manages or franchises. As of June 30, 2002, the Company was a guarantor for loans which could reach a maximum of $183 million relating to three projects: the St. Regis in Monarch Beach, California, which opened in mid-2001; the Westin Kierland hotel in Arizona, which is scheduled to open at the end of 2002; and the Westin in Charlotte, North Carolina, which is scheduled to open at the end of 2002. With respect to the Westin Kierland, the guarantee is joint and several with another equity partner. The Company does not anticipate any significant funding under these loan guarantees in 2002, as all projects are well capitalized.

      Furthermore, in order to secure management and franchise contracts, the Company may provide performance guarantees to third-party owners. Most of these performance guarantees allow the Company to abandon a contract rather than fund shortfalls if certain performance levels are not met. In limited cases, the Company is obliged to fund shortfalls in performance levels. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had eight management contracts with performance guarantees with possible cash outlays of up to $75 million, $50 million of which, if required, would be funded over a period of 25 years. Many of the performance tests are multi-year tests, are tied to the results of a competitive set of hotels, and have exclusions for force majeure clauses and acts of war and terrorism. The Company does not anticipate any significant funding under the performance guarantees in 2002. Lastly, the Company does not anticipate losing any significant management or franchise contracts in 2002.

      Litigation. From time to time in the course of general business activities, the Company becomes involved in legal disputes and proceedings. The Company does not expect the resolution of these matters to have a material adverse affect on the financial position or on the results of operations and cash flows of the Company, except as disclosed in the Company’s Joint Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 incorporated herein by reference. However, depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect the Company’s future results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.

(1) Systemwide revenues include gross operating revenues generated by owned, leased, consolidated joint venture and managed hotels.
 
(2) EBITDA is defined as income before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Special items and gains and losses from asset dispositions are also excluded from EBITDA as these items do not impact operating results on a recurring basis. Management considers EBITDA to be one measure of the cash flows from operations of the Company before debt service that provides a relevant basis for comparison, and EBITDA is presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. This information should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance as promulgated under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, nor should it be considered as an indicator of the overall financial performance of the Company. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
 
(3) Includes depreciation and amortization expense of unconsolidated joint ventures.

Note 11. Subsequent Event

      In July 2002, the Company signed an exclusive letter of intent to sell its assets in Sardinia, Italy, part of the CIGA portfolio of luxury hotels and resorts, to a consortium of Italian investors for 350 million Euros (approximately $347 million at June 30, 2002), subject to regulatory approvals and final adjustments. The transaction is scheduled to close during the fourth quarter of 2002. Starwood will continue to manage the hotels and golf course under long-term management contracts and will receive participation in future development should approvals be secured.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those relating to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventories, investments, plant, property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, financing operations, frequent guest program liability, self-insurance claims payable, restructuring costs, guaranteed loans and commitments, retirement benefits and contingencies and litigation.

      Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

      On December 20, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting policies” in MD&A. The SEC indicated a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company believes that the following accounting policies fit this definition:

      Revenue Recognition. The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the following sources: (1) hotel and resort revenues at the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture properties;

21


Table of Contents

(2) management and franchise fees; (3) vacation ownership revenues; and (4) other revenues which are ancillary to the Company’s operations. Generally, revenues are recognized when the services have been rendered. The following is a description of the composition of revenues for the Company:

  Owned, Leased and Consolidated Joint Ventures – Represents revenue primarily derived from hotel and leisure operations, including the rental of rooms and food and beverage sales, from a worldwide network of owned, leased or consolidated joint venture hotels and resorts operated primarily under the Company’s proprietary brand names including St. Regis, The Luxury Collection, Sheraton, Westin, W and Four Points by Sheraton. Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied and services have been rendered.
 
  Management and Franchise Fees – Represents fees earned on hotels managed worldwide, usually under long-term contracts with the hotel owner, and franchise fees received in connection with the franchise of the Company’s Sheraton, Westin and Four Points by Sheraton brand names. Management fees are comprised of a base fee, which is generally based on a percentage of gross revenues, and an incentive fee, which is generally based on the property’s profitability. Base fee revenues are recognized when earned in accordance with the terms of the contract. For any time during the year, incentive fees are recognized for the fees due as if the contract was terminated at that date, exclusive of any termination fees due or payable. Franchise fees are generally based on a percentage of hotel room revenues and are recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 45, “Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue,” as the fees are earned and become due from the franchisee. Management and franchise fees are recognized in other hotel and leisure revenues in the consolidated statements of income.
 
  Vacation Ownership – The Company recognizes revenue from vacation ownership interest (“VOI”) sales in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” The Company recognizes sales when a minimum of 10% of the purchase price for the VOI has been received, the period of cancellation with refund has expired and receivables are deemed collectible. For sales that do not qualify for full revenue recognition as the project has progressed beyond the preliminary stages but has not yet reached completion, all revenue and profit are initially deferred and recognized in earnings through the percentage- of-completion method. Vacation ownership revenues are recognized in other hotel and leisure revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

      Frequent Guest Program. Starwood Preferred Guest (“SPG”) is the Company’s frequent guest incentive marketing program. SPG members earn points based on their spending at the Company’s properties and, to a lesser degree, through participation in affiliated partners’ programs, such as those offered by airlines. Points can be redeemed at most Company owned, leased, managed and franchised properties; however, points cannot be redeemed for cash.

      SPG is provided as a marketing program to the Company’s properties. The cost of operating the program, including the estimated cost of award redemption, is charged to properties based on members’ qualifying expenditures. Revenue is recognized by participating hotels and resorts when points are redeemed for hotel stays.

      The Company, through the services of third-party actuarial analysts, determines the fair value of the future redemption obligation based on statistical formulas which project timing of future point redemption based on historical experience, including an estimate of the “breakage” for points that will never be redeemed, and an estimate of the points that will eventually be redeemed. These factors determine the liability for outstanding points. The Company’s management and franchise agreements require that the Company be reimbursed currently for the costs of operating the program, including marketing, promotion, communications with, and performing member services for the SPG members. Actual expenditures for SPG may differ from the actuarially determined liability.

22


Table of Contents

      The liability for the SPG program is included in other long-term liabilities and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The total actuarially determined liability as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 is $181 million and $159 million, respectively.

      Asset Valuations. The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of its assets for impairment. Asset impairment analysis is conducted on the following class of assets: (1) long lived assets; (2) investments; and (3) goodwill and intangible assets.

  Long Lived Assets – The expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets are compared to the net book value of the assets. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value is charged to current earnings. Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, appraisals and, if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers.
 
  Investments – The Company also assesses the carrying value of its long-term investments. The fair market value of investments is based on the market prices for the last day of the period if the investment trades on quoted exchanges. For non-traded investments, fair value is estimated based on the underlying value of the investment, which is dependent on the performance of the companies or ventures in which the Company has invested, as well as the volatility inherent in external markets for these types of investments.
 
  In assessing potential impairment for these investments, the Company will consider these factors as well as forecasted financial performance of its investees. If these forecasts are not met, the Company may have to record impairment charges. Thus, the carrying value of investments at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 approximates fair value based on market prices and the value of the underlying collateral.
 
  Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Goodwill and intangible assets arise in connection with acquisitions, including the acquisition of management contacts. The Company has ceased amortizing goodwill in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Intangible assets with finite lives continue to amortize on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. The Company reviews all goodwill and intangible assets for impairment by comparisons of fair value to book value annually, or upon the occurrence of a trigger event. Impairments, excluding those in the year of adoption, are recognized in operating results.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

Continuing Operations

      The Company’s operating results for the second quarter of 2002 were impacted by the weakened worldwide economic environment, which has resulted in a dramatic slowdown in business and transient travel. The decrease in business transient demand, when compared to the second quarter of 2001, had an adverse impact on the Company’s majority owned hotels, many of which are located in major urban markets.

      Revenues. Total revenues, excluding other revenues from managed and franchised properties as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements (“Total Revenues”), decreased 7.0% from $1.110 billion to $1.032 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the corresponding period in 2001. The decrease in Total Revenues reflects a 7.5% decrease in revenues from the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels to $860 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to $930 million in the corresponding period of 2001 and a 4.4% decrease in other hotel and leisure revenues to $172 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to $180 million in the corresponding period of 2001.

      The decrease in revenues from owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels is due primarily to decreased revenues at the Company’s hotels owned during both periods (“Comparable Owned Hotels”) (161 hotels for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, excluding 2 hotels sold and 3 hotels without

23


Table of Contents

comparable results during 2002 and 2001) offset in part by revenues generated by the W Times Square, which opened in late December 2001. Revenues at the Company’s Comparable Owned Hotels decreased 9.7% to $834 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the same period of 2001 due primarily to a decrease in revenue per available room (“REVPAR”). REVPAR at the Company’s 160 owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels (excluding 2 hotels sold and 4 hotels under significant renovation or for which comparable results are not available for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001) (“Same-Store Owned Hotels”) decreased 10.2% to $101.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the corresponding 2001 period. The decrease in REVPAR at these 160 Same-Store Owned Hotels was attributed to a decrease in occupancy to 66.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to 70.0% in the same period of 2001. Average daily rate (“ADR”) at these Same-Store Owned Hotels decreased 5.5% to $151.93 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $160.73 for the corresponding 2001 period. REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America decreased 10.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the same period of 2001. As discussed above, the decrease in REVPAR and revenues from owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels in North America was primarily due to the decline in business transient demand as a result of the weakened global economies. REVPAR at the Company’s international Same-Store Owned Hotels, which decreased by 10.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the same period of 2001, was also impacted by weakened global economies, the unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation and adverse political and economic conditions. REVPAR for Same-Store Owned Hotels in Europe decreased 7.9%, in Latin America decreased 24.7% and in Asia Pacific increased 14.1% when compared to 2001.

      The decrease in other hotel and leisure revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001, resulted from lower management fees, primarily due to reduced incentive management fees, and equity earnings from joint ventures as a result of the previously discussed weakened global economies, offset by the increase in VOI sales. The Company also completed a sale of $87 million of receivables in the second quarter of 2002, which resulted in a gain of $9 million, as compared with a gain of $8 million from the sale of receivables in the comparable quarter of prior year.

      EBITDA. Total Company EBITDA decreased 20.2% or $81 million to $320 million as of June 30, 2002 when compared to 2001, primarily due to EBITDA declines at the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels. EBITDA for the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels decreased $58 million or 18.6% to $254 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the corresponding period in 2001. This decrease was primarily due to a $60 million or 19.2% decrease in EBITDA at the Company’s Comparable Owned Hotels to $253 million. The decrease in EBITDA at these hotels was primarily due to the $47 million decrease in EBITDA over the same period in 2001 at the Company’s Comparable Owned Hotels in North America resulting primarily from the weakened global economies as discussed earlier.

      Selling, General, Administrative and Other. Selling, general, administrative and other expenses were $107 million and $108 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in selling, general, administrative and other expenses is due primarily to the $9 million foreign exchange gain resulting from the devaluation of the Argentine Peso, offset by increased expenses commensurate with higher VOI sales.

      Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation expense increased to $116 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $107 million in the corresponding period of 2001. The increase was due to additional depreciation resulting from capital expenditures at the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels in the past 12 months. Amortization expense decreased to $5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $23 million in the corresponding period of 2001. The decrease in amortization expense for the quarter was primarily attributable to the implementation of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which resulted in a $19 million pretax reduction in amortization expense.

24


Table of Contents

      Net Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, which is net of interest income of $1 million and $4 million, respectively, increased to $110 million from $101 million. Excluding $29 million and $9 million of one time charges related to the early extinguishment of debt for 2002 and 2001, respectively, net interest expense decreased $11 million from the comparable quarter of prior year. This decrease was due primarily to lower interest rates compared to the second quarter of 2001 and the impact of certain financing transactions in the past 12 months. The Company’s weighted average interest rate was 5.75% at June 30, 2002 versus 6.12% at June 30, 2001.

      Income Tax Expense. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2002 decreased to 13.3% compared to 29.4% in the corresponding quarter in 2001. Excluding the net tax benefit of $11 million of special items primarily related to approximately $29 million (pretax) of one time charges associated with the early extinguishment of debt, $6 million of a state tax refund and a non-cash foreign exchange gain of approximately $9 million (pretax) resulting from the devaluation of the Argentine Peso, all taxed at the marginal tax rate of 35.0%, the Company’s tax rate was 21.0% in the second quarter of 2002. The Company’s effective income tax rate is determined by the level and composition of pretax income subject to varying foreign, state and local taxes and other items. The tax rate in the second quarter of 2002 is significantly lower than the prior year due to the combination of lower pretax income, the anticipated annual dividend of $0.84 per share and the cessation of amortization of goodwill (as discussed above), which was not deductible for tax purposes.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Continuing Operations

      The Company’s operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were significantly impacted by the weakened worldwide economic environment, which has resulted in a dramatic slowdown in business and transient travel. The decrease in business transient demand, when compared to the same period of 2001, had an adverse impact on the Company’s majority owned hotels, many of which are located in major urban markets.

      Revenues. Total Revenues decreased 9.3% from $2.124 billion to $1.926 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the corresponding period in 2001. The decrease in Total Revenues reflects a 10.2% decrease in revenues from the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels to $1.612 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to $1.795 billion in the corresponding period of 2001 and a 4.6% decrease in other hotel and leisure revenues to $314 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to $329 million in the corresponding period of 2001.

      The decrease in revenues from owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels is due primarily to decreased revenues at the Company’s hotels owned during both periods (“Comparable Owned Hotels”) (157 hotels for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, excluding 4 hotels sold and 7 hotels without comparable results during 2002 and 2001) offset in part by revenues generated by the W Times Square, which opened in late December 2001. Revenues at the Company’s Comparable Owned Hotels decreased 12.8% to $1.525 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the same period of 2001 due primarily to a decrease in REVPAR. REVPAR at the Company’s 156 owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels (excluding 4 hotels sold and 8 hotels under significant renovation or for which comparable results are not available for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001) (“Same-Store Owned Hotels”) decreased 13.2% to $96.40 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the corresponding 2001 period. The decrease in REVPAR at these 156 Same-Store Owned Hotels was attributed to a decrease in occupancy to 63.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to 68.3% in the same period of 2001. ADR at these Same-Store Owned Hotels decreased 7.0% to $151.40 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $162.71 for the corresponding 2001 period. REVPAR at Same-Store Owned Hotels in North America decreased 12.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the same period of 2001. As discussed above, the decrease in REVPAR and revenues from owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels in North America was primarily due to the decline in business transient demand as a result of the weakened global economies. REVPAR at the Company’s international Same-Store Owned Hotels, which

25


Table of Contents

decreased by 14.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the same period of 2001, was also impacted by weakened global economies, the unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation and adverse political and economic conditions. REVPAR for Same-Store Owned Hotels in Europe decreased 10.2%, in Latin America decreased 27.1% and in Asia Pacific decreased 2.7% when compared to 2001.

      The decrease in other hotel and leisure revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001, resulted from lower management fees, primarily due to reduced incentive management fees, and equity earnings from joint ventures as a result of the previously discussed weakened global economies, offset by the increase in VOI sales.

      EBITDA. Total Company EBITDA decreased 25.5% or $188 million to $548 million as of June 30, 2002 when compared to 2001, primarily due to EBITDA declines at the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels. EBITDA for the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels decreased $139 million or 23.9% to $442 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the corresponding period in 2001. This decrease was primarily due to a $140 million or 24.3% decrease in EBITDA at the Company’s Comparable Owned Hotels to $435 million. The decrease in EBITDA at these hotels was primarily due to the $109 million decrease in EBITDA over the same period in 2001 at the Company’s Comparable Owned Hotels in North America resulting primarily from the weakened global economies as discussed earlier.

      Selling, General, Administrative and Other. Selling, general, administrative and other expenses were $195 million and $207 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in selling, general, administrative and other expenses is due primarily to the $33 million foreign exchange gain resulting from the devaluation of the Argentine Peso offset, in part, by increased expenses commensurate with higher VOI sales.

      Restructuring and Other Special Charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded a $3 million reversal of restructuring and other special charges primarily related to the sale of the Company’s investment in an e-business venture previously deemed impaired and the collection of receivables which were previously deemed uncollectible.

      During the six months ended 2001, the Company wrote down its investments in various e-business ventures by approximately $19 million based on the market conditions for the technology sector at the time and management’s assessment that these investments were permanently impaired. This charge was offset by the reversal of a $20 million bad debt restructuring charge taken in 1998 relating to a note receivable which previously had not been fully performing.

      Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation expense increased to $228 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $212 million in the corresponding period of 2001. The increase was due to additional depreciation resulting from capital expenditures at the Company’s owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels in the past 12 months. Amortization expense decreased to $10 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $45 million in the corresponding period of 2001. The decrease in the six month amortization expense was primarily attributable to the implementation of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which resulted in a $37 million pretax reduction in amortization expense.

      Net Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, which is net of interest income of $1 million and $7 million, respectively, decreased to $190 million from $201 million. Excluding $29 million and $9 million of one time charges related to the early extinguishment of debt for 2002 and 2001, respectively, net interest expense decreased $31 million from the comparable period of prior year. This decrease was due primarily to lower interest rates compared to the same period of 2001 and the impact of certain financing transactions in the past 12 months. The Company’s weighted average interest rate was 5.75% at June 30, 2002 versus 6.12% at June 30, 2001.

      Income Tax Expense. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended 2002 decreased to 18.6% compared to 30.8% in the corresponding period in 2001. Excluding the net tax benefit of $3 million of special items primarily related to approximately $29 million (pretax) of one time charges associated with the early extinguishment of debt, $6 million of a state tax refund and a non-cash foreign exchange gain of approximately

26


Table of Contents

$33 million (pretax) resulting from the devaluation of the Argentine Peso, all taxed at the marginal tax rate of 35.0%, the Company’s tax rate was 21.2% for the six months ended 2002. The Company’s effective income tax rate is determined by the level and composition of pretax income subject to varying foreign, state and local taxes and other items. The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2002 is significantly lower than the prior year due to the combination of lower pre-tax income, the anticipated annual dividend of $0.84 per share and the cessation of amortization of goodwill (as discussed above), which was not deductible for tax purposes.

Seasonality and Diversification

      The hotel and leisure industry is seasonal in nature; however, the periods during which the Company’s properties experience higher hotel revenue activities vary from property to property and depend principally upon location. The Company’s revenues historically have generally been lower in the first quarter than in the second, third or fourth quarters.

Same-Store Owned Hotels Results

      Starwood continually updates and renovates its owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels. While undergoing renovation, these hotels are generally not operating at full capacity and, as such, these renovations can negatively impact Starwood’s hotel revenues. Starwood expects to continue renovating its owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels as it pursues its brand and quality strategies.

      The following table summarizes REVPAR, ADR and average occupancy for the Company’s Same-Store Owned Hotels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 represent results for 160 owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels (excluding 2 hotels that were sold and 4 hotels under significant renovation or for which comparable results are not available). The results for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 represent results for 156 owned, leased and consolidated joint venture hotels (excluding 4 hotels that were sold and 8 hotels under significant renovation or for which comparable results are not available).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash From Operating Activities

      Cash flow from operating activities is the principal source of cash used to fund the Company’s operating expenses, interest payments on debt, maintenance capital expenditures and distribution payments by the Trust. Despite the weakened global economies, the Company anticipates that cash flow provided by operating activities will be sufficient to service these cash requirements. In 2002, the Company shifted from a quarterly dividend to an annual dividend. The final determination of the amount of the dividend will be subject to economic and financial considerations and approval of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company currently expects the dividend to be $0.84 per share. The Company believes that existing borrowing availability, together with additional borrowings, will be adequate to meet all funding requirements for the foreseeable future.

Cash Used for Investing Activities

      In limited cases, the Company has made loans to owners or partners in hotel or resort ventures whereby the Company has a management or franchise agreement. Loans outstanding under this program totaled $155 million at June 30, 2002. The Company evaluates these loans for impairment, and at June 30, 2002, believes these loans are collectible. Unfunded loan commitments aggregating $38 million were outstanding at June 30, 2002, of which $16 million are expected to be funded in 2002 and $25 million are expected to be funded in total. These loans typically are secured by pledges of project ownership interests and/or mortgages on the projects.

      The Company participates in programs with unaffiliated lenders in which the Company may partially guarantee loans made to facilitate third-party ownership of hotels that the Company manages or franchises. As of June 30, 2002, the Company was a guarantor for loans which could reach a maximum of $183 million relating to three projects: the St. Regis in Monarch Beach, California, which opened in mid-2001; the Westin Kierland hotel in Arizona, which is scheduled to open at the end of 2002; and the Westin in Charlotte, North Carolina, which is scheduled to open at the end of 2002. With respect to the Westin Kierland, the guarantee is joint and several with another equity partner. The Company does not anticipate any funding under these loan guarantees in 2002, as all projects are well capitalized.

      Furthermore, in order to secure management and franchise contracts, the Company may provide performance guarantees to third-party owners. Most of these performance guarantees allow the Company to abandon a contract rather than fund shortfalls if certain performance levels are not met. In limited cases, the Company is obliged to fund shortfalls in performance levels. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had eight

28


Table of Contents

management contracts with performance guarantees with possible cash outlays of up to $75 million, $50 million of which, if required, would be funded over a period of 25 years. Many of the performance tests are multi-year tests, are tied to the results of a competitive set of hotels, and have exclusions for force majeure clauses and acts of war and terrorism. The Company does not anticipate any funding under the performance guarantees in 2002. Lastly, the Company does not anticipate losing any significant management or franchise contracts in 2002.

      The Company had the following contractual obligations outstanding as of June 30, 2002 (in millions):

      The Company intends to finance the acquisition of additional hotel properties (including equity investments), hotel renovations, capital improvements and other core business acquisitions and provide for general corporate purposes through its credit facilities described below, through the net proceeds from dispositions of certain non-core assets and, when market conditions warrant, through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities.

Cash Used for Financing Activities

      Based upon the current level of operations, management believes that the Company’s cash flow from operations, together with available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (approximately $384 million at June 30, 2002), available borrowings from international revolving lines of credit (approximately $83 million at June 30, 2002), capacity from additional borrowings and proceeds from non-core asset sales, will be adequate to meet anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, marketing and advertising program expenditures, other discretionary investments, interest and scheduled principal payments for the foreseeable future. Starwood has a substantial amount of indebtedness and had a working capital deficiency of $1.636 billion at June 30, 2002. The Company entered the market to refinance the remaining senior credit facility, with an expected closing of the new facility in September 2002. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance its indebtedness and, if so, on favorable terms, nor can there be assurance that the Company’s business will continue to generate cash flow at or above historical levels or that currently anticipated improvements will be achieved.

Table of Contents

      If Starwood is unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service the Company’s debt, the Company may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, refinance all or a portion of its existing debt or obtain additional financing. The Company’s ability to make scheduled principal payments, to pay interest on or to refinance the Company’s indebtedness depends on its future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the hotel and leisure industry and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond the Company’s control, including the severity and duration of the current economic downturn.

      In April 2002, the Company sold $1.5 billion of senior notes in two tranches — $700 million principal amount of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2007 and $800 million principal amount of 7 7/8% senior notes due 2012 (the “Senior Notes Offering”). The Company used the proceeds to repay all of its senior secured notes facility and a portion of its senior credit facility. In connection with the repayment of debt, the Company incurred approximately $29 million of one-time charges. These charges relate to the write-off of deferred financing costs, termination fees for the early extinguishment of debt, and the early termination of interest rate swap agreements associated with the repaid debt.

      In December 2001, the Company entered into an 18-month 450 million Euro loan with an interest rate of Euribor plus 195 basis points. The proceeds of the Euro loan were drawn down in two tranches; the first 270 million Euros was drawn down in December and used to repay the previously outstanding 270 million Euro facility and the remaining 180 million Euros was drawn down in January 2002 and the proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the Company’s domestic revolving credit facility.

      In May 2001, the Company sold an aggregate face amount of $816 million zero coupon convertible senior notes due 2021. The two series of notes had an initial blended yield to maturity of 2.35%. The notes are convertible, subject to certain conditions, into an aggregate 9,657,000 Shares. The Company received gross proceeds from these sales of approximately $500 million, which was used to repay a portion of its senior credit facility that bore interest at LIBOR plus 275 basis points. In May 2002, the Company repurchased all of the
