Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the 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, 2021.

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

 

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2022, and the results of our operations for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and cash flows for the year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the effect of seasonal variations as well as the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Three of the partnerships in which we own an interest are considered variable interest entities (VIEs) as the general partner maintains control over the decisions that most significantly impact such partnerships. These VIEs include the operating partnership, Host L.P., which is consolidated by Host Inc., of which Host Inc. is the sole general partner and holds approximately 99% of its partnership interests; the consolidated partnership that owns the Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental; and the unconsolidated partnership that owns the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown. Host Inc.’s sole significant asset is its investment in Host L.P. and, consequently, substantially all of Host Inc.’s assets and

liabilities consists of the assets and liabilities of Host L.P. All of Host Inc.’s debt is an obligation of Host L.P. and may be repaid only with assets of Host L.P.

 

Notes Receivable

At June 30, 2022, our notes receivable consists of bridge loans issued in connection with hotel sales. In conjunction with our dispositions, we may issue a bridge loan to the purchaser to facilitate the sale. These bridge loans are collateralized by the corresponding sold hotel and in the event of a default of the loan, we would seek to enforce our rights against the collateral in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. The bridge loans are recorded at amortized cost, on an individual asset basis. We recognize interest as it is earned and include accrued interest receivable in other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. We individually assess our notes receivable for credit losses quarterly and estimate any credit losses based on an analysis of several factors, primarily the value of the hotel collateral, as well as current economic conditions and historical trends.
