See Notes to Condensed Financial Statements. 5 FAIRFIELD INN BY MARRIOTT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION Fairfield Inn by Marriott Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), owns 46 Fairfield Inn by Marriott properties (the "Inns") located in sixteen states within the contiguous United States. The Partnership leases the land underlying 30 of the Inns from Marriott International, Inc. ("MII") and certain of its affiliates. Effective November 30, 2001, Sage Management Resources III, LLC ("Sage"), an affiliate of Sage Hospitality Resources, LLC, began providing management at the properties. Prior to such date, the Inns were managed by Fairfield FMC Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MII, as part of the Fairfield Inn by Marriott hotel system under a long-term management agreement. Under Sage, the Inns continue to be operated under the Fairfield Inn by Marriott system. 2. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY, LIQUIDITY AND FINANCING REQUIREMENTS Adequate liquidity and capital are critical to the ability of the Partnership to continue as a going concern. Annual revenues have declined each year from $94.4 million in 1998 to $78.8 million in 2002. The decline in Inn operations is primarily due to increased competition, over-supply of limited service hotels in the markets where the Partnership's Inns operate, increased pressure on room rates, lack of funds for capital improvements needed to make the Inns more competitive in their marketplaces, and a slowdown in the economy resulting in a softness in the lodging industry as a whole. Exacerbating this trend was the impact of the events of September 11, 2001 and the war with Iraq which have had a significant detrimental effect on the hospitality industry in general and the Inns in particular as travel nationwide has severely decreased. The Partnership did not have sufficient cash flow from current operations to make its required debt service payments beginning in November 2002, nor did it have sufficient cash flow to make its property improvement fund contributions beginning in September 2002. Further, on March 26, 2003, the Partnership received notice from MII that it was in default under the ground lease agreements, due to its failure to pay the full amount due of minimum rentals owed under the Ground Leases beginning in January 2003. A default under the ground lease agreements also constitutes a default under the loan agreement. On May 7, 2003, the Partnership received notice from MII that the Ground Leases would be terminated effective June 15, 2003 for nonpayment. On May 9, 2003, the lender exercised its right to cure the default and paid the non-subordinated ground rent owed under the Ground Leases through March 2003. On behalf of the Partnership, the Lender has continued to pay the non-subordinated ground rent under the Ground Leases through June 2003. The Partnership has recognized the obligation to repay the Lender for these advances. The Partnership is not projecting improved results for 2003 over 2002. Partnership cash, including $4.0 million and $8,000 held in lender reserve accounts at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, totaled approximately $9.5 million and $5.9 million at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. As of November 11, 2002, the Partnership is in default under the mortgage loan agreement due to its failure to pay the regularly scheduled debt service payment due on that date. The Partnership is also in default under the Franchise Agreements with MII due to its failure to make its property improvement fund contributions beginning in September 2002, also resulting in technical default under the mortgage loan agreement. The Partnership had requested from the lender further modifications to the mortgage loan agreement. These modifications included paying debt service solely from available cash flow, and selling certain of the Partnership's properties and applying the proceeds from the sales toward replenishing reserves held by the lender. This proposal was rejected by the lender. The Partnership has reached a tentative agreement with the lender to permit the Partnership to sell its interest in the Inns without penalty. This agreement is subject to the consent of multiple parties. If the requisite consents to the tentative agreement are obtained, it is expected that any such liquidation will generate minimal, if any, proceeds in excess of debt and expenses. If the requisite consents are not obtained, the Partnership may be required to seek protection by filing for bankruptcy (Chapter 7 (liquidation) or Chapter 11 (reorganization)) and/or the Partnership's properties may be lost through foreclosure. The lack of available funds from operations over the past several years has also delayed room refurbishments at the Inns. Based upon information provided by Sage, the capital expenditure needs through November 30, 2003 for the Inns are estimated to total approximately $19 million. As of July 1, 2003, the Partnership has spent approximately $6.4 6 FAIRFIELD INN BY MARRIOTT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 2. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY, LIQUIDITY AND FINANCING REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED) million toward the completion of the property improvements plans required under the Franchise Agreements with MII. The Partnership is required to provide evidence by no later than November 30, 2003 that at least $23 million has been set aside to complete these capital improvements. The capital improvements will not be completed by November 30, 2003, therefore the Franchise Agreement could be terminated and the Inns could be prohibited from operating as "Fairfield Inn by Marriott". If MII exercises its right to terminate the Franchise Agreement, the Partnership would seek to become part of a comparable, nationally recognized hotel system in order to continue to comply with the obligations under its loan documents. If the Partnership is unable to retain another nationally recognized brand, it could significantly impair its revenues and cash flow. The Partnership estimates that the shortfall in available funds for capital expenditures will be approximately $8.1 million by November 30, 2003. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership contributed $3.5 million, $5.8 million, $6.0 million, respectively, to the property improvement fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership contributed $863,000 and $2.9 million, respectively, to the property improvement fund. The Partnership had insufficient cash flow from operations beginning in September 2002 to make its property improvement fund contributions. This resulted in a default under the Partnership's Franchise Agreements with MII, and thus a technical default under the mortgage loan agreement. If the Partnership is unable to reach an agreement with the lender, the Partnership may be required to seek protection by filing for bankruptcy (Chapter 7 (liquidation) or Chapter 11 (reorganization)) and/or the Partnership's properties may be lost through foreclosure. All of the above mentioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In the event of liquidation, the carrying values as presented in the accompanying financial statements could be materially different and the accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted from the accompanying statements. The Partnership believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the unaudited, condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002. In the opinion of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited, condensed financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Partnership as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, the results of its operations for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations. The Partnership's hotels have historically experienced seasonal differences typical of the U.S. Hotel Industry with higher revenues in the second and third quarters of calendar years compared with the first and fourth quarters. This seasonality can cause material fluctuations in Partnership income. In addition, the Partnership sold four of its hotels during 2002. The Partnership assesses impairment of its real estate properties based on whether estimated future undiscounted cash flows from such properties will be less than their net book value upon the evidence of impairment indicators. If a property is impaired, its basis is adjusted to its estimated fair value. In 2002, Inns located in Atlanta, Georgia; Birmingham, Alabama; Detroit, Michigan; Greenville, South Carolina; and St. Louis, Missouri experienced declining 7 FAIRFIELD INN BY MARRIOTT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) cash flows, primarily due to additional competition in their local markets and therefore were impaired. As a result, during 2002, the Partnership concluded that these Inns were impaired and adjusted their basis to their estimated fair market value. An impairment charge was also taken on one of the Inns held for sale, located in Orlando, Florida, based on the most recent sales offer. The Partnership recorded an impairment charge of $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2002. As of December 31, 2002, the Partnership had four of its Inns remaining as held for sale. These Inns were located in Orlando, Florida; Columbus, Ohio; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Raleigh, North Carolina. Effective January 1, 2003, after the Partnership determined to no longer market these Inns for sale, the Partnership reclassified these Inns as held and used. Accordingly, upon reclassification an impairment charge was taken to record these Inns at the lower of carrying value when classified as held and used, less depreciation not taken during the period they were held for sale, or fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, Inns located in Atlanta, Georgia and Miami, Florida also experienced declining cash flows, primarily due to additional competition in their local markets and therefore were impaired. As a result, the Partnership recorded an impairment charge of $2.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003. In 2002, the Partnership concluded that the components of the working capital managed by Sage should be consolidated with the working capital of the Partnership. Previously reported financial statements have been revised to reflect this accounting presentation. This revision did not impact the statement of operations, partners' deficit or the net operating, investing and financing cash flows, but did affect the comparability of the components of the operating cash flows for 2003 to 2002. For financial reporting purposes, the net income of the Partnership is allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partner of the Partnership. Significant differences exist between the net income for financial reporting purposes and the net income for Federal income tax purposes. These differences are due primarily to the use, for Federal income tax purposes, of accelerated depreciation methods and shorter depreciable lives for certain assets and differences in the timing of the recognition of certain fees and straight-line rent adjustments. 4. AMOUNTS PAYABLE TO MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. The following table provides the significant expenses incurred to MII and its affiliates for the periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 2002 ----------------- ------------- Royalty fee $2,236 $2,599 Ground rent 1,647 1,316 Reservation costs 346 396 ----------------- ------------- Total $ 4,229 $ 4,311 ================= ============= On March 26, 2003, the Partnership received notice from MII that it was in default under the ground lease agreements due to its failure to pay the full amount due of minimum rentals owed under the Ground Leases beginning in January 2003.

On May 9, 2003, the lender exercised its right to cure the default and paid the non-subordinated ground rent owed under the Ground Leases through March 2003. On behalf of the Partnership, the Lender has continued to pay the non-subordinated ground rent under the Ground Leases through June 2003. The Partnership has recognized the obligation to repay the Lender for these advances. 8 FAIRFIELD INN BY MARRIOTT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 4. AMOUNTS PAYABLE TO MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC. (CONTINUED) During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Partnership recorded an adjustment to recognize its ground rent expense on a straight-line basis for fiscal year 2002. An adjustment has been made for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to present ground rent expense under the straight-line method. This revision increased ground rent expense and increased net loss by approximately $633,000 and $1.3 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. 9 ITEM 2.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Going Concern and Other Important Risk Factors: Adequate liquidity and capital are critical to the ability of the Partnership to continue as a going concern. Annual revenues have declined each year from $94.4 million in 1998 to $78.8 million in 2002. The decline in Inn operations is primarily due to increased competition, over-supply of limited service hotels in the markets where the Partnership's Inns operate, increased pressure on room rates, lack of funds for capital improvements needed to make the Inns more competitive in their marketplaces, and a slowdown in the economy resulting in a softness in the lodging industry as a whole. Exacerbating this trend was the impact of the events of September 11, 2001 and the war with Iraq which have had a significant detrimental effect on the hospitality industry in general and the Inns in particular as travel nationwide has severely decreased. The Partnership did not have sufficient cash flow from current operations to make its required debt service payments beginning in November 2002, nor did it have sufficient cash flow to make its property improvement fund contributions beginning in September 2002. Further, on March 26, 2003, the Partnership received notice from MII that it was in default under the ground lease agreements, due to its failure to pay the full amount due of minimum rentals owed under the Ground Leases beginning in January 2003. On May 7, 2003, the Partnership received notice from MII that the Ground Leases would be terminated effective June 15, 2003 for nonpayment. On May 9, 2003, the lender exercised its right to cure the default and paid the non-subordinated ground rent owed under the Ground Leases through March 2003. On behalf of the Partnership, the Lender has continued to pay the non-subordinated ground rent under the Ground Leases through June 2003. The Partnership has recognized the obligation to repay the Lender for these advances. The Partnership is not projecting improved results for 2003 over 2002. Partnership cash, including $4.0 million and $8,000 held in lender reserve accounts at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, totaled $9.5 million and $5.9 million at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. As of November 11, 2002, the Partnership is in default under the mortgage loan agreement due to its failure to pay the regularly scheduled debt service payment due on that date. The Partnership is also in default under the Franchise Agreements with MII due to its failure to make its property improvement fund contributions beginning in September 2002, also resulting in technical default under the mortgage loan agreement. The Partnership had requested from the lender further modifications to the mortgage loan agreement. These modifications included paying debt service solely from available cash flow, selling certain of the Partnership's properties and applying the proceeds from the sales toward replenishing reserves held by the lender. This proposal was rejected by the lender. The Partnership has reached a tentative agreement with the lender to permit the Partnership to sell its interest in the Inns without penalty. This agreement is subject to the consent of multiple parties. If the requisite consents to the tentative agreement are obtained, it is expected that any such liquidation will generate minimal, if any, proceeds in excess of debt and expenses. If the requisite consents are not obtained, the Partnership may be required to seek protection by filing for bankruptcy (Chapter 7 (liquidation) or Chapter 11 (reorganization)) and/or the Partnership's properties may be lost through foreclosure. 10 ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) The lack of available funds from operations over the past several years has also delayed room refurbishments at the Inns. Based upon information provided by Sage, the capital expenditure needs for 2002 and 2003 for the Inns are estimated to total approximately $19 million. As of July 1, 2003, the Partnership has spent approximately $6.4 million toward the completion of the property improvements plans required under the Franchise Agreements with MII. The Partnership is required to provide evidence by no later than November 30, 2003 that at least $23 million has been set aside to complete a portion of these capital improvements. If the capital improvements are not completed, the Franchise Agreement could be terminated and the Inns could be prohibited from operating as "Fairfield Inn by Marriott". If this were to occur, which is likely, the Partnership would seek to become part of a comparable, nationally recognized hotel system in order to continue to comply with the obligations under its loan documents. If the Partnership is unable to retain another nationally recognized brand, it could significantly impair its revenues and cash flow. The Partnership estimates that the shortfall in available funds for capital expenditures will be approximately $8.1 million by the end of 2003. For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership contributed $3.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively, to the property improvement fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership contributed $863,000 and $2.9 million, respectively, to the property improvement fund. The Partnership had insufficient cash flow from operations beginning in September 2002 to make its property improvement fund contributions. This resulted in a default under the Partnership's Franchise Agreements with MII, and thus a technical default under the mortgage loan agreement. If the Partnership is unable to reach an agreement with the lender, the Partnership may be required to seek protection by filing for bankruptcy (Chapter 7 (liquidation) or Chapter 11 (reorganization)) and/or the Partnership's properties may be lost through foreclosure. All of the above mentioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. Partnership cash, including $4.0 million held in lender reserve accounts, totaled $9.5 million at June 30, 2003. Principal Sources and Uses of Cash: The Partnership's principal source of cash has been from operations. The Partnership's principal uses of cash are to make debt service payments, fund the property improvement fund and maintain reserves required pursuant to the terms of the mortgage debt. The Partnership's cash and cash equivalents, excluding funds held in lender reserves, declined to $5.5 million compared to $5.9 million at December 31, 2002. The decline from year end is due to $2.4 million of cash used in investing activities and $1.8 million of cash used in financing activities, which were partially offset by $3.8 million of cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in investing activities consisted of changes in the property improvement fund and capital expenditures. Cash used in financing activities consisted of changes to the restricted cash reserves as required under the terms of the mortgage debt. Shortfall in Funds Available for Capital Expenditures: In light of the age of the Partnership's Inns, which range from 13 to 16 years, major capital expenditures are required over the next several years in an effort to be competitive in the markets where the Partnership operates and to satisfy brand standards required by the franchise agreement. These capital expenditures include room refurbishments planned for 22 of the Inns over the next several years and the replacement of roofs, facades, carpets, wall vinyl and furniture. The capital expenditure needs for the Partnership's Inns through November 30, 2003 are estimated to total approximately $19 million. The cost of future capital expenditures for the Partnership's Inns is estimated to exceed available funds. The Partnership's property improvement fund became insufficient to meet anticipated capital expenditures in 1999 and 11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) continued to be insufficient through the second quarter of 2003. To address this shortfall, the Partnership deposited an additional $2.4 million into the property improvement fund during 1999 from its Partnership cash beyond the required contributions. In addition, the contribution rate to the property improvement fund was increased to 7% of gross sales for 1997 and thereafter. The Partnership contributed $3.5 million and $5.8 million during 2002 and 2001, respectively, to the property improvement fund. The Partnership contributed $863,000 to the property improvement fund during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The estimated property improvement fund shortfall is expected to be $8.1 million of projected capital expenditure requirements by November 30, 2003. Until the Partnership reaches a resolution concerning funding of the Partnership's operating and capital expenditure shortfalls, any proposed capital expenditures exceeding the amount available in the property improvement fund will be deferred. As discussed above, existing Partnership operations do not generate sufficient revenue to enable the Partnership to meet its operating expenses, debt service payments and ground lease payments. As such, the Partnership is currently in default under its loan agreement. The Partnership has entered into negotiations with the lender to address this situation. If an agreement cannot be reached, the Partnership may seek to protect its investment in the Inns by filing for bankruptcy protection (Chapter 7 (liquidation) or Chapter 11 (reorganization)) and/or could lose some or all of its Inns through foreclosure or to the ground lessor. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net loss. The Partnership incurred a net loss of $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2003 as compared to net income of $1.3 million generated in the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net loss was $9.3 million compared to a net loss of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $7.9 million. This increase is due primarily to the decrease in revenues and increase in operating expenses discussed below. Operating Profit (Loss). Operating profit for the second quarter of 2003 decreased by $4.0 million to $266,000 when compared to operating profit of $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, operating loss was $3.5 million compared to operating profit of $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $8.2 million. The increase in operating loss for the comparable six month periods is due to the decrease in revenues and increase in operating expenses. Total Revenues. Total revenues decreased $4.3 million, or 17.9%, to $19.6 million for the second quarter of 2003 from $23.9 million in the second quarter of 2002. Total revenues decreased $6.5 million, or approximately 15.5%, to $35.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $42.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease is primarily due to the decline in rooms revenues. Additionally, the decrease is due to the final settlement of outstanding accruals maintained by the Partnership's former manager, MII. The Partnership received approximately $700,000 from MII in April 2002. As a result of the settlement, the Partnership recognized non-recurring revenues of approximately $1.4 million during the second quarter of 2002. Rooms Revenues. Rooms revenues decreased $5.0 million, or approximately 12.4% to $35.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $40.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, reflecting a 0.4% decrease in occupancy to 59.7%, and a $2.15 decrease in average room rate to $52.43. These changes in occupancy and room rates caused a decrease in revenue per available room ("REVPAR") of 4.6% to $31.28. The decrease in average occupancy was primarily the result of increased competition in the economy segment and the deferral of capital improvements needed to make our Inns more competitive in their marketplaces because of the lack of funds. The decrease in rooms revenues is not proportional to the decreases in occupancy and average room rate due to the sale of four of the Partnership's hotels during 2002. Excluding the effect on revenues of the sale of these four hotels, rooms revenues for the remaining 46 Inns decreased $2.2 million, or approximately 5.8% to $35.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $37.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. 12 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Operating Expenses. Operating expenses decreased during the second quarter of 2003 by $254,000 or 1.3% to $19.4 million when compared to the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, operating expenses increased $1.7 million or 4.6% to $38.9 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase for the comparable six month periods is primarily due to the loss on impairment of $2.9 million recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2003. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $166,000 to $3.0 million in second quarter 2003 when compared to the second quarter of 2002. For the year-to-date comparable periods, interest expense decreased by $356,000 to $5.9 million. This decrease is due to the payment of $11.4 million of principal on the mortgage debt during 2002 as a result of proceeds applied from Inn sales. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and related footnotes. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. The Partnership does not believe there is a great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported related to the accounting policies described below. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. Impairment of long-lived assets: At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Partnership had $96.3 million and $99.6 million, respectively, of property and equipment (net), and $0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of properties held for sale, which collectively accounted for approximately 85% and 88%, respectively, of the Partnership's total assets. Property and equipment is carried at cost but is adjusted to fair value if there is an impairment loss. During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Partnership recognized $5.2 million, $3.8 million, and $8.1 million, respectively, of impairment losses related to its property and equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Partnership recognized an additional $2.9 million impairment loss related to property and equipment at its Inns located in Atlanta, Georgia; Charlotte, North Carolina; Columbus, Ohio; Miami, Florida; Orlando, Florida; and Raleigh, North Carolina. An impairment loss may be recorded for an Inn if estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the Inn. The Partnership calculates estimated future cash flows over the remaining useful lives of each Inn, which are between 14-17 years. Upon the occurrence of events such as the Partnership's resolution of the necessary actions to cure the mortgage debt in default, the Partnership will reassess and modify, if necessary, the holding period assumptions for the Inns. This change in assumption may result in additional impairment charges to the Partnership. Impairment losses are measured based on the estimated fair value of the Inn compared to the net book value of the Inn. The Partnership based its estimates of fair value primarily upon appraisal. Useful lives of long-lived assets: Property and equipment, and certain other long-lived assets, are amortized over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management's estimates of the period that the assets will generate revenue. Deferred ground rent: Deferred ground rent payable to MII and its affiliates at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was $5.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively, and is included in Due to Marriott International, Inc., affiliates and other on the accompanying balance sheet. The Partnership's deferred ground rent of $2.2 million that remained payable at November 30, 2001 was waived in accordance with the amended lease agreement that was entered between the Partnership and MII and its affiliates. The amount of deferred ground rent waived as a result of the ground lease amendment will be recognized as a reduction in ground rent expense over the remaining life of the new lease term, 13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) which has been extended to November 30, 2098, since it represents a new operating lease as of November 30, 2001, for accounting purposes. Ground rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The excess of ground rent expense recognized over rental payments required by the lease agreement of $3.4 million is deferred at June 30, 2003.
