History and Business of Company (this information may include date of incorporation)
We are a worldwide operator and franchisor of hotels and related lodging facilities. Prior to January 3, 2003, our operations included our Senior Living Services and Distribution Services businesses, which we now classify as discontinued operations. We were organized as a corporation in Delaware in 1997 and became a public company in 1998 when we were "spun off" as a separate entity by the company formerly named "Marriott International, Inc." In our Lodging business, which includes our Full-Service, Select-Service, Extended-Stay and Timeshare segments, we develop, operate and franchise hotels and corporate housing properties under 14 separate brand names and we develop, operate, and market Marriott timeshare properties under four separate brand names. Our Synthetic Fuel operation consists of our minority interest in four coal-based synthetic fuel production facilities whose operations qualify for tax credits based on Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code. Financial information by industry segment and geographic area as of January 2, 2004 and for the three fiscal years then ended, appears in the Business Segments note to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report.
