                            CERTAIN IMPORTANT FACTORS

     This Current Report contains  statements which  constitute  forward looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Those  statements  appear in a number of places in this Current Report and

are cautioned  that any such forward  looking  statements  are not guarantees of
future performance and involve risks and uncertainties,  and that actual results

                          HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

             Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements and Other Data

     The  following  unaudited  adjusted pro forma balance sheet at December 31,
1997 is  intended  to present  the  financial  position of the Company as if the
transactions described in the notes hereto (the "Transactions") were consummated
at December 31, 1997. The following  unaudited  adjusted pro forma  statement of
income for the year ended  December  31, 1997 is intended to present the results
of operations of the Company as if the Transactions  were consummated on January
1, 1997. These unaudited adjusted pro forma financial  statements should be read
in  conjunction  with,  and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the
separate  financial  statements of the Company and certain of the acquired hotel
properties each included elsewhere herein or in the Company's Current Reports on
Form 8-K dated November 21, 1997, December 9, 1997 and February 11, 1998.

     These unaudited adjusted pro forma financial statements are not necessarily
indicative  of the expected  financial  position or results of operations of the
Company  for any future  period.  Differences  would  result  from,  among other
considerations,  future  changes  in the  Company's  portfolio  of  investments,
changes in interest  rates,  changes in the capital  structure  of the  Company,
delays in the  acquisition  of certain  properties  and changes in the Company's
operating expenses.

     The  following  unaudited  pro forma  balance sheet and unaudited pro forma
statement  of income were  prepared  pursuant  to the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission's  rules for the  presentation  of pro forma data.  The pro forma and
adjusted pro forma other data give effect to the  consummation by the Company of
the Transactions.  Certain properties expected to be acquired by the Company are
currently  under  construction or development by the sellers.  Other  properties
were under  construction  during the periods  presented  when they were owned or
under  development by the sellers.  The accompanying pro forma  information does
not give further effect to the completion of  construction  or the related lease
commencement for any period prior thereto.  Construction  projects not completed
by December 31, 1997 are likewise not reflected in the pro forma balance  sheet.
Rather,  the  effect  of  completion  of  construction  of these  properties  is
presented  separately  from  the  pro  forma  information  as  described  in the
accompanying  notes.  The Company  believes  that a display of such adjusted pro
forma data is meaningful and relevant to the  understanding  of the Transactions
and,  accordingly  has  presented  such data in the final two  columns,  labeled
"Other Data," on the accompanying pages.
