NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.	Organization

Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, owns 70 Courtyard by Marriott hotels and the land on which certain of the hotels are located. The hotels are located in 29 states and are managed as part of the Courtyard by Marriott hotel system by Courtyard Management Corporation, or the manager, a wholly owned subsidiary of Marriott International, Inc., or MII.

All of our partnership units are indirectly owned by CBM Joint Venture LLC, or the Courtyard JV, a joint venture between subsidiaries of Host Marriott, L.P. and MII.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 10, 2004 and the results of our operations for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 10, 2004 and September 12, 2003 and cash flows for the year-to-date periods ended September 10, 2004 and September 12, 2003. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.

Our quarterly results are reported on a quarterly schedule that is used by MII. MII’s year ends on the Friday closest to December 31 and reflects twelve weeks of operations in the first three quarters of the year and sixteen or seventeen weeks of operations for the fourth quarter of the year. As a result, in any given quarter, quarter-over-quarter results will cover different calendar dates (but the same number of days, except for a year with a 17-week fourth quarter, such as fiscal year 2002).

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

We consolidate entities (in the absence of other factors determining control) when we own over 50% of the voting shares of another company or, in the case of partnership investments, when we own a majority of the general partnership interest. The control factors we consider include the ability of minority shareholders or other partners to participate in or block management decisions. Additionally, if we determine that we have variable interests in a variable interest entity within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Revised Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” and that our variable interest will absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns if they occur, or both, then we will consolidate the entity. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Accrued Ground Rent

We record ground rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. The excess of the rent expense recognized over the cash payments contractually due pursuant to the underlying lease agreement is included as “accrued ground rent” on the accompanying balance sheets. Currently, the cash payments contractually due are in excess of the amounts recognized as rent expense, which reduces the accrued ground rent liability.

Quarterly Summary

Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, is the owner of 70 Courtyard by Marriott hotels located in 29 states in suburban areas near office parks or other business districts and operate in the upscale sector of the lodging industry. For a general overview of our business, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The steady improvement in the overall economy during the last twelve months has resulted in improved lodging demand during the first three quarters of the year. Additionally, our industry outlook for the fourth quarter of 2004 continues to remain favorable. Historically, lodging demand in the United States correlates to U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, with typically a one-to-two quarter lag period especially within the upscale sectors of the lodging industry. Given the GDP forecasts and the level of corporate profits and capital investment, we expect to see further increases in business-related travel for full year 2004.

As lodging demand continues to grow, we believe that our hotels will continue to experience increasing revenues, although increased competition as a result of supply growth in the markets we operate in will impact our growth in revenues. Further, we believe that the reduction in rooms available as a result of the scheduled repositionings at 29 of our hotels this year will affect our operating performance. See “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES—Capital Expenditures” for more information.

For the third quarter of 2004, RevPAR increased 6.2% as a result of a 3.8% increase in average room rate and a 1.6 percentage point increase in average occupancy. Year-to-date RevPAR increased 4.9% with a 2.2% increase in average room rate and a 1.9 percentage point increase in average occupancy. RevPAR is defined as the product of the average daily room rate charged and the average daily occupancy achieved and is generally considered the leading indicator of revenues for hotels. Improvements in RevPAR during the first quarter of 2004 were primarily driven by increases in occupancy at our hotels, but in the second and third quarters we also experienced increases in room rates. Increases in occupancy at a hotel typically lead to increases in ancillary revenues, such as food and beverage and other hotel revenues, as well as additional incremental costs (including housekeeping services, utilities and room amenity costs). RevPAR increases which result from higher room rates, however, would not result in these additional room-related costs. For this reason, while operating profit may increase when RevPAR increases as the result of occupancy gains, RevPAR increases resulting from higher room rates generally have a greater impact on our profitability. We assess profitability by measuring changes in our operating margins, which is operating profit as a percentage of total revenues. RevPAR increases thus far in 2004 have been largely offset by a 3.2% increase in costs and; therefore, our operating margins have only increased by one half of one percentage point. We are not expecting significant improvement in operating margins in 2004 because we expect costs such as wages, benefits, and utilities to continue to increase at a rate greater than inflation.

While we believe the supply and demand trends in the lodging industry discussed previously in our Annual Report on Form 10-K create the possibility for improvements in our business in 2004 and 2005, we cannot assure you that any increases in hotel revenues or earnings at our properties will continue.

2004 compared to 2003

Hotel Revenues. Hotel revenues for the third quarter of 2004 increased by $2.6 million, or 4.5%, to $60.0 million compared to the same period in 2003. Year-to-date 2004 hotel revenues increased by $6.6 million, or 3.8%, to $178.1 million from the same period in 2003. The improvement at the majority of our properties for both the third quarter and year-to-date reflects the strengthening economy and increased business travel. While RevPAR improved primarily as a result of increased operations, the increase also reflects the effect on our operations of reduced travel in the same period of 2003 due to the war in Iraq. The benefit of this favorable comparison during year-to-date 2004 was somewhat offset by the 21 repositioning projects undertaken thus far, which negatively impacted our revenue and operating profit. See “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES—Capital Expenditures” for more information.

COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

We experienced increases in RevPAR for the quarter in all our geographic regions, with the most significant increases in RevPAR of 12.1% and 10.8% occurring in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, respectively. Year-to-date, we experienced increases in RevPAR for all our geographic regions except the Northeast region where RevPAR declined 4.9%. The RevPAR decline for the Northeast region is primarily the result of repositioning work which was performed on four of the six properties in this region during the first half of 2004. The repositioning work was completed on all four of the properties as of the beginning of the third quarter and RevPAR for the region increased 2.2% for the quarter.

Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses for the third quarter of 2004 increased by $1.4 million, or 2.9%, compared to the same period in 2003. For year-to-date, the operating costs and expenses increased $4.7 million, or 3.2%, compared to the same period in 2003. Our costs increased primarily as a result of an increase in chain service fees along with an increase in rooms’ expenses related to occupancy and increases in wages, benefits and utilities, all of which continue to increase at a rate greater than inflation.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2004 has declined $0.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2003, due to the reduction in mortgage debt as a result of scheduled principal repayments.

Operating Profit. Operating profit for the third quarter of 2004 increased by $1.2 million compared to the third quarter 2003. For year-to-date 2004, operating profit increased $1.9 million compared to the same period in 2003. Our operating profit margin increased by 1.4 percentage points to 15.5% from the third quarter of 2003 and increased by 0.5 percentage points to 15.2% for year-to-date 2004 compared to 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 10, 2004, we have approximately $3.9 million of unrestricted cash, which remains lower than our historical balances. Based on our current forecast, we believe that our sources of cash are sufficient to meet our near-term liquidity needs; however, our ability to meet our long-term liquidity needs will depend on our future results of operations. In the event our sources of cash are insufficient to meet our debt service obligation or certain capital expenditures, our partners are not obligated to provide additional sources of capital to the partnership.

Our principal source of cash is cash from operations, including cash available to us through the subordination and deferral features contained within certain of our ground leases and our management agreements. Our principal uses of cash are to make debt service payments, fund our required reserves, repay certain deferred expenses and fund capital expenditures for property improvements. Our annual debt service obligations include interest payments on our senior notes of approximately $13.7 million and principal and interest payments on our multi-class commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (CMBS debt) of approximately $43.7 million.

Capital Expenditures. Our capital expenditures have been focused on property maintenance and improvements designed to maintain appropriate levels of quality. We contributed approximately $11.6 million and $11.1 million to the property improvement fund during the year-to-date periods ended September 10, 2004 and September 12, 2003, respectively. As of September 10, 2004, we substantially completed repositioning efforts on 14 properties. We began repositioning efforts on an additional seven properties during the third quarter at an approximate cost of $11.2 million and plan to start repositioning efforts on an additional eight properties during the fourth quarter of 2004 (three of which are expected to be completed in 2004 and five of which are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2005) at an approximate cost of $12.8 million. However, any repositionings beyond these 29 properties will depend on our results of operations, as completing the repositioning of the 29 properties will substantially reduce our property improvement fund.

Debt. We have made use of certain reserves and deferred a portion of our ground rent and management fees to make our required debt service payments. Under the terms of our management agreements and the ground leases with MII and its affiliates, a portion of the base management fees and all of the ground rent and incentive management fees due to MII and

COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

its affiliates are subordinate to debt service payments on our CMBS debt and senior notes. We have the ability to defer the payment of certain amounts due under our ground leases and management agreements, as well as the ability to require the refunding of payments of ground rent and certain management fees made in prior periods, to the extent cash from operations, as defined in the respective agreements, is not sufficient to pay debt service. The following amounts have been deferred, refunded or reserves depleted as a result of these debt restrictions:

•

Deferred ground lease payments totaling $3.1 million (including $0.7 million in 2004) and ground lease payments refunded by MI totaling $9.4 million (including $8.2 million refunded in 2004).

•

Deferred Courtyard by Marriott management fees were $0.3 million as of September 10, 2004. No management fees have been deferred in 2004.

•

The debt service reserve was depleted as of September 10, 2004. We used approximately $1.4 million and $2.4 million of the reserve to make a portion of the semi-annual payment on our senior notes on February 2, 2004 and August 2, 2004, respectively.

Before we can make distributions to our partners, we must achieve certain levels of excess cash flow and replenish or repay $19.3 million (in addition to any amounts required to be funded to the separate supplemental debt service reserve discussed below) as follows:

•

$6.8 million to replenish the debt service reserve to required level per the debt agreement; and

•

$12.5 million to repay deferred ground rent to MII.

With the exception of approximately $0.4 million currently payable for Courtyard by Marriott management fees and approximately $1.8 million currently payable for ground rent, the remaining portion of the approximately $82 million due to MII and its affiliates on September 10, 2004 is payable only to the extent cash flow exceeds debt service and a specified return to our partners, in accordance with our management and ground lease agreements. We do not expect to satisfy any of these conditions or make any distributions to our partners in 2004.

Further, to the extent the debt service reserve is fully funded, in accordance with the provisions of our senior notes indenture, we are required to fund a separate supplemental debt service reserve account in an amount equal to Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for each quarter until excess cash flow meets specific levels. Through September 10, 2004, we have reserved $1.4 million of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, which was funded in 2002.

For further detail on restrictions related to our debt covenants, investors should read the Management Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash provided by operations. Year-to-date 2004, our cash provided by operations increased by $6.3 million when compared to the same period in 2003. The increase is primarily due to an increase in operations over prior year and a refund of ground lease payments previously paid to MII during 2004.

Cash used in investing activities. Investing activities consist of contributions to and distributions from the property improvement fund and capital expenditures for improvements to the hotels. Contributions to the property improvement fund are 6.5% of total hotel revenues. Distributions from the property improvement fund reflect capital expenditures for the replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, partially offset by interest income earned by the fund. The increase in capital expenditures year-to-date September 10, 2004 was due to the repositioning efforts at certain of our properties.

Cash used in financing activities. Financing activities include the repayment of principal on our commercial mortgage-backed securities and senior notes and distributions to general and limited partners. Cash used in financing year-to-date September 10, 2004 and year-to-date

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-14(c). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of September 10, 2004, the end of the quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing,

COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reports.
