                          HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
                                   (unaudited)

1.     The  accompanying   condensed   consolidated   financial   statements  of
       Hospitality  Properties Trust and its  subsidiaries  (the "Company") have
       been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures
       required  by  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  complete
       financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes
       the disclosures  made are adequate to make the information  presented not
       misleading. However, the accompanying financial statements should be read
       in conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes thereto included
       in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December
       31,  1996.  Operating  results  for interim  periods are not  necessarily
       indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

       In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (which include only normal
       recurring adjustments)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
       been  included.  All  intercompany   transactions  and  balances  between
       Hospitality Properties Trust and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.

2.     Earnings  per share is computed by  dividing  net income by the  weighted
       average number of outstanding common shares of beneficial interest.

       In May 1997, the Company paid a $0.59 per share dividend to  shareholders
       for the  quarter  ended March 31,  1997.  On July 1, 1997,  the  Trustees
       declared a dividend of $0.61 per share be paid to  shareholders of record
       as of July 21,  1997,  which will be  distributed  on or about August 21,
       1997.

3.     The Financial  Accounting Standards Board has issued Financial Accounting
       Standards  Board  Statement  No. 128  "Earnings  Per Share"  ("FAS 128"),
       Statement No. 129  "Disclosure  of Information  about Capital  Structure"
       ("FAS 129"),  Statement No. 130  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income" ("FAS
       130") and Statement No. 131 "Disclosures  about Segments of an Enterprise
       and Related Information" ("FAS 131"). FAS 128 and FAS 129 must be adopted
       for the Company's 1997 annual financial  statements.  FAS 130 and FAS 131
       must be adopted for the Company's 1998 financial  statements.  Management
       believes  that the adoption of FAS 128, FAS 129, FAS 130 and FAS 131 will
       have no impact on reported results.

4.     All of the Company's  properties are leased pursuant to long term leases.
       Each lease  requires the lessee to pay minimum rent,  percentage  rent (a
       percentage  of increases in total hotel sales over total hotel sales in a
       base year),  and all  operating  costs  associated  with the  hotels.  In
       addition,  a percentage  of hotel sales related to each lease are paid by
       the  Company's  hotel  operators  into an escrow  account to fund certain
       capital  improvements and ongoing  renovations  necessary to maintain the
       quality of the  properties.  In the case of certain  leases,  this escrow
       account is maintained by the Company.

       On January 8, 1997, a subsidiary of the Company  acquired a 381-room full
       service  hotel in Salt  Lake  City,  Utah for $44  million.  The hotel is
       leased to Wyndham Hotel Corporation and operated as a Wyndham hotel.

       In April  1997,  the Company  entered an  agreement  to acquire  fourteen
       hotels from Marriott International, Inc. for $149 million. As of June 30,
       1997, the  acquisition  of ten of these hotels was complete.  The Company
       expects to acquire the remaining four hotels during 1997.

5.     As of June 30,  1997,  the Company  had  $104,000  outstanding  under its
       $200,000  revolving  acquisition  credit facility (the "Credit Facility")
       which  provides  for  borrowings  at  one  month  LIBOR  plus  a  spread.
       Borrowings may be repaid and  reborrowed as necessary  until December 31,
       1998, at which time the outstanding  balance may, at the Company's option
       (with lender  approval),  be either  repaid or  converted  into a 10-year
       loan. In the second quarter of 1997, the Company borrowed  $104,000 under
       the Credit  Facility in  connection  with the  acquisition  of ten hotels
       noted  above.  Certain  subsidiaries  of the  Company are  obligated  for
       $125,000  of  long-term  mortgages  payable  (Notes).  The Notes  require
       payment of interest only through

       their maturity in December  2001, at which time the principal  balance is
       due. The Notes are  prepayable at any time without  penalty.  Interest on
       the Notes is equal to one month LIBOR plus a spread.

6.     At June 30, 1997, 53 Courtyard by  Marriott(R)  properties of the Company
       and its subsidiary  were leased to a special  purpose  subsidiary of Host
       Marriott   Corporation   and   managed  by  a   subsidiary   of  Marriott
       International,   Inc.  The  unaudited   results  of  operations  for  the
       twenty-four  weeks ended June 14,  1996 and June 20,  1997 and  unaudited
       summarized  balance sheet data of the Host  Marriott  subsidiary to which
       these 53 Courtyard by Marriott(R) hotels are leased are as follows:

Financial Condition

References below to the Company and to items comprising the Company's results of
operations are collective  references to the Company and its subsidiaries and to
consolidated items of the Company's consolidated results of operations.

Overview

Hospitality  Properties  Trust (the "Company")  acquires,  owns and leases hotel
properties to unaffiliated  hotel  operators.  The Company owned 55 Courtyard by
Marriott(R)hotels,  11  Wyndham  Garden(R)hotels,  one  Wyndham(R)hotel,  and 26
Residence Inn by Marriott(R)hotels as of June 30, 1997.

Fifty-three  of the Company's  Courtyard by  Marriott(R)  hotels are leased to a
subsidiary  of Host  Marriott  Corporation  ("Host  Marriott")  and managed by a
subsidiary of Marriott International,  Inc. ("Marriott  International").  Annual
base rent on these 53 properties totals $50.5 million and percentage rent equals
5% of increases in total hotel sales over base year levels. The 53 hotels have a
total of 7,610 guest  rooms and are  located in 23 states.  During the first six
months of 1997 these hotels had average  occupancy,  average  daily rate ("ADR")
and room revenue per  available  room  ("RevPAR")  of 81.8%,  $84.16 and $68.86,
respectively.

Eighteen of the Company's Residence Inn by Marriott(R)  properties are leased to
a  subsidiary  of  Host  Marriott  and  managed  by  a  subsidiary  of  Marriott
International.  Annual base rent on these 18 properties totals $17.2 million and
percentage  rent equals 7.5% of  increases  in total hotel sales over 1997 first
quarter  levels.  The 18  properties  have a total of 2,178 guest suites and are
located in 14 states.  During the first six months of 1997 these  properties had
average occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of 83.3%, $99.09 and $82.56, respectively.

The  Company's  11  Wyndham  Garden(R)  hotels  are  leased to and  operated  by
subsidiaries  of the  Wyndham  Hotel  Corporation.  Annual base rent on these 11
properties  totals $13.6 million and  percentage  rent equals 8% of increases in
total hotel sales over 1997 first quarter levels. The 11 properties have a total
of 1,940  guest  rooms and are  located  in seven  states.  During the first six
months of 1997 these  hotels  had  average  occupancy,  ADR and RevPAR of 79.3%,
$91.59 and $72.59, respectively.

In January of 1997 the Company acquired a 381-room full service hotel (the "Salt
Lake  Hotel") in Salt Lake  City,  Utah.  The hotel is leased to  Wyndham  Hotel
Corporation  and is operated as a Wyndham hotel.  Annual base rent on this hotel
is $3.8  million.  The Company will begin  receiving  percentage  rent, in 1998,
equal to 5% of  increases  in total hotel sales over 1997 levels and  thereafter
annually at 8% of increases  in total hotel sales over 1998  levels.  During the
first six months of 1997 the property had average  occupancy,  ADR and RevPAR of
76.6%, $100.66, and $77.06, respectively.

In April of 1997 the Company  announced  plans to acquire 14, existing and to be
built, hotels from Marriott International,  Inc. for approximately $149 million.
The 14 hotels are comprised of ten Residence Inn by Marriott(R)  hotels and four
Courtyard by Marriott(R)  hotels.  These  Courtyard and Residence Inn properties
are or will be leased to and operated by a wholly owned  subsidiary  of Marriott
International  for  annual  base  rent  of  approximately  $14.9  million  plus,
beginning  after a two year  period,  percentage  rent equal to 7%  increases in
total sales over levels  achieved  in the second full year of  operation.  As of
August 7, the Company has acquired ten of these  hotels,  with 1,349 rooms,  and
expects to acquire the four remaining hotels,  with 470 rooms,  later this year.
At June 30, 1997, these properties had an approximate  average operating history
of just  over 6  months.  Because  these  properties  have a  limited  operating
history,  a display  of  average  occupancy,  ADR and  RevPAR  for the full 1997
periods for these  properties is not meaningful.  For the four-weeks  ended June
20, 1997, occupancy,  ADR and RevPAR for these 10 open and operating hotels were
74.7%, $81.60 and $61.05, respectively.

All of the  Company's  leases  require a percentage  (usually 5%) of total hotel
sales to be escrowed by the tenant or operator as a reserve for  renovations and
refurbishment ("FF&E").

Quarter  Ended  June 30,  1997  (dollar  amounts in  thousands  except per share
amounts)

Total  revenues  for the quarter  ended June 30, 1997  increased to $28,276 from
$23,011 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  Base and percentage rent increased

                                       12
<PAGE>

to $24,513 from $19,226 during the comparable  period. The increase primarily is
a result of the Company's  investment in eleven hotels  acquired  during 1997 as
well as increased  percentage  rent  revenues  from 53 Courtyard by  Marriott(R)
properties, 18 Residence Inns by Marriott(R) and 11 Wyndham Garden(R) hotels.

Total  expenses  for the quarter  ended June 30, 1997  increased to $13,350 from
$8,388  for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1996.  The  increase  is the result of
increases in depreciation,  interest, and general and administrative expenses of
$2,483,   $2,287,   and  $192,   respectively.   Depreciation  and  general  and
administrative  increased  as a result of new  investments  since June 30, 1996.
Interest  expense  increased due to the issuance of the Notes,  in late 1996, as
well as borrowings under the credit facility in the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

Net Income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997  increased to $14,926  ($0.56 per
share) from $14,623  ($0.56 per share) from the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The
increase is primarily a result of increased base and  percentage  rent of $5,287
primarily  from new  investments  offset by an  increase  in total  expenses  of
$4,962,  primarily from interest and  depreciation  related to new  investments,
during the comparable period in 1996.

Funds from operations  (defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization
of real estate  assets) and cash  available for  distribution  (defined as funds
from operations less FF&E Reserve plus amortization of deferred  financing costs
and other  non-cash  charges)  related to the quarter  were  $22,676  ($0.84 per
share) and  $19,592  ($0.73 per  share),  respectively,  compared  to funds from
operations and cash available for  distribution of $19,890 ($0.76 per share) and
$16,889 ($0.64 per share), respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

Six Months  ended June 30, 1997 (dollar  amounts in  thousands  except per share
amounts)

Total  revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased to $53,753 from
$33,345  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996.  Base and  percentage  rent
increased to $46,407 from $27,897  during the  comparable  period.  The increase
primarily is a result of the Company's  investment in forty-five hotels acquired
between March and May of 1996 and ten hotels  acquired in 1997 prior to June 30,
1997,  as well as  increased  percentage  rent  revenues  from 53  Courtyard  by
Marriott(R) properties, 18 Residence Inn by Marriott(R) and 11 Wyndham Garden(R)
hotels.

Total  expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased to $23,917 from
$12,100 for the six months  ended June 30,  1996.  The increase is the result of
increases in depreciation,  interest, and general and administrative expenses of
$6,519, $4,368, $930, respectively.  Depreciation and general and administrative
increased as a result of new investments  since June 30, 1996.  Interest expense
increased  due to the issuance of the Notes,  in late 1996 as well as borrowings
under the credit facility in the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 1997  increased  to $29,836  ($1.11
per share) from  $21,245  ($1.09 per share)  from the six months  ended June 30,
1996. The increase is primarily a result of increased  base and percentage  rent
of  $18,510  primarily  from new  investments  offset  by an  increase  in total
expenses  of $11,817,  primarily  from  interest  and  depreciation,  during the
comparable period.

Funds from  operations  and cash available for  distribution  related to the six
months  were  $44,359   ($1.65  per  share)  and  $38,276   ($1.42  per  share),
respectively,   compared  to  funds  from  operations  and  cash  available  for
distribution  of  $29,249  ($1.50  per share)  and  $24,736  ($1.27 per  share),
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital  Resources  (dollar amounts in thousands  except per share
amounts)

Assets of the Company  increased to $998,122 at June 30, 1997 from $840,964 from
the quarter  ended June 30,  1996.  The  increase is  primarily  due to new real
estate acquisitions.

At June 30, 1997 the Company  had $13,229 of cash and cash  equivalents  and the
ability to borrow up to an additional $96,000 under its credit facility ("Credit
Facility").  The Company has on file an effective shelf  registration  statement
for up to $500,000 of equity and/or debt securities (the " Shelf Registration").

In January  1997 the  Company  purchased  the Salt Lake Hotel for  approximately
$44,000.  Later in 1997 the Company  acquired ten hotels (eight Residence Inn by
Marriott(R) and two Courtyard by Marriott(R)) for  approximately  $111,000.  Net
cash used to make these  acquisitions  was  approximately  $134,000 plus closing

                                       13
<PAGE>

costs,  funded  primarily with draws of $104,000  under the Credit  Facility and
cash on hand.  The  terms of these  acquisitions  called  for a  portion  of the
purchase  price to be  withheld  to secure the  tenants'  obligations  under the
related leases.  The Company has committed to purchase an additional four hotels
from  Marriott  International,  Inc.  for  an  additional  total  investment  of
approximately $39,373.

The Company  continues to actively  pursue other  acquisition  opportunities  to
diversify  and expand its portfolio of hotel  properties  and expects to utilize
funds on hand and  funds  available  under  its  Credit  Facility  or the  Shelf
Registration to complete such  acquisitions.  The Company intends to balance the
use of debt and  equity  in such a  manner  that  the  long  term  cost of funds
borrowed  to  acquire  facilities  is  appropriately   matched,  to  the  extent
practicable, to the terms of the investments made with such borrowed funds.

Pursuant  to the terms of the lease and  management  agreements,  the  Company's
tenants and  operators  are  required to fund FF&E  reserve  accounts in amounts
equal to a percentage of total hotel sales.  Funds  escrowed in the FF&E reserve
accounts  are  used  for  capitalized  improvements  and  replacements  to,  and
refurbishment  of, the  hotels.  The Company  believes  that these funds will be
adequate to maintain the competitiveness of its hotels.

Funding for current  expenses and  dividends is provided for by  operations.  To
maintain  its  status  as a real  estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  under the
Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended,  the  Company  must meet  certain
requirements including the distribution of at least 95% of its taxable income to
its  shareholders.  As a REIT, the Company  expects not to be subject to federal
income taxes.

Dividends are based principally on cash available for distribution  which is net
income plus  depreciation  and  amortization  of real estate  assets and certain
non-cash  charges less FF&E reserve income.  Cash available for distribution may
not equal cash  provided by  operating  activities  because the cash flow of the
Company is affected  by other  factors not  included in the cash  available  for
distribution calculation.

Dividends  with respect to the first quarter 1997 results  declared on March 31,
1997 of $0.59 per share were  distributed  on May 15, 1997.  Dividends  declared
with  respect to second  quarter 1997 results of $0.61 per share will be paid to
shareholders on or about August 21, 1997.  Dividends in a year in excess of REIT
taxable income for that year constitute return of capital.

Seasonality

Most of the Company's hotels experience  seasonal variation in operating results
typical  of the hotel  industry  with  higher  revenues  in the second and third
quarters of calendar  years  compared with the first and fourth  quarters.  This
seasonality  is not presently  expected to cause  fluctuations  in the Company's
rental income  because the Company  believes that the revenues  generated by its
hotels  will be  sufficient  to pay  rents on a  regular  basis  notwithstanding
seasonal fluctuations.
