                          HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 (in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements of Hospitality
Properties Trust and its subsidiaries 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. We
believe 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  contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1998. 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. Our operating results for interim periods
and those of our tenants are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may
be expected for the full year.

In 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Issue No.  98-9,
"Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial  Periods" ("EITF 98-9"). We
had adopted the  provisions of EITF 98-9  prospectively  as of May 21, 1998 (the
date of the  issuance of EITF 98-9) and  continued to apply them until EITF 98-9
was rescinded  during the fourth  quarter 1998. If EITF 98-9 was  applicable for
the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  net income  available for
common   shareholders   would  have  been  $27,760   ($0.49/share)  and  $74,748
($1.46/share),  respectively.  If EITF 98-9 was  applicable  for the entire 1998
periods,  for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1998 income before
extraordinary  item and net income available for common  shareholders would have
been $22,112  ($0.52/share) and $22,107  ($0.52/share) and $62,355 ($1.50/share)
and $55,736 ($1.34/share), respectively. The deferred percentage rent balance as
of September 30, 1999 and 1998 would have been $2,838 and $2,772,  respectively.
EITF 98-9 had no impact on our annual  results of  operations  during 1998,  the
only year EITF 98-9 was in effect,  rather the  accounting  changes  required by
EITF 98-9  deferred  recognition  of certain  percentage  rental income from the
second and third quarters to the fourth quarter within a fiscal year.

Note 2.  Shareholders' Equity

In August 1999 we paid a $0.69 per share dividend to common shareholders for the
quarter  ended  June 30,  1999.  On October 6,  1999,  our  Trustees  declared a
dividend of $0.69 per common share to be paid to common  shareholders  of record
as of October 20, 1999, which will be distributed on or about November 18, 1999.

In the  second  quarter,  we issued  three  million  shares  of 9 1/2%  Series A
Cumulative  Redeemable  Preferred Shares raising gross proceeds of $75,000,  net
proceeds  of $72,227.  We also issued  10,812,400  common  shares of  beneficial
interest,  raising gross proceeds of $289,907, net proceeds of $274,595. The net
proceeds of these offerings were used to repay all amounts outstanding under our
revolving credit facility, acquire hotels and for general business purposes.

On September 8, 1999, our Trustees  declared a dividend on the preferred  shares
of $0.59375 per preferred  share to be paid to preferred  shareholders of record
as of September 15, 1999, which was distributed on September 30, 1999.

We do not  present  diluted  earnings  per  share  because  we have no  dilutive
instruments.

Note 3.  Indebtedness

As of September  30,  1999,  we had zero  outstanding  on our  revolving  credit
facility.  During the first quarter of 1999,  we borrowed  $172,000 to partially
fund  acquisitions.  The balance  was reduced to zero in May 1999 with  proceeds
from the offerings discussed in Note 2.

Note 4.  Real Estate Properties

During the nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  certain of our  subsidiaries
purchased three  Candlewood  Suites(R)  hotels,  eighteen  Homestead  Village(R)
hotels,  three Residence Inn by Marriott(R) hotels, one Courtyard by Marriott(R)
hotel,  six  TownePlace  Suites by Marriott(R)  hotels and six Sumner  Suites(R)
hotels  for  approximately  $332,741,  all paid for with the  proceeds  from the
offerings  discussed in Note 2 and cash on hand.  Subsequent  to  September  30,
1999, one of our  subsidiaries  purchased one  TownePlace  Suites by Marriott(R)
hotel for approximately $7,840, paid for with cash on hand.

Each of these  purchased  hotels is leased  as part of a pool of  properties  to
affiliates of the sellers.

Note 5.  Significant Tenant

At September 30, 1999, 53 Courtyard by Marriott(R)  properties which we own were
leased to a special purpose subsidiary of Host Marriott Corporation ("Host") and
managed by a  subsidiary  of  Marriott  International,  Inc.  ("Marriott").  The
results of operations  for the  thirty-six  weeks ended  September 10, 1999, and
September 11, 1998, and summarized  balance sheet data of the Host subsidiary to
which our Courtyard by Marriott(R) hotels are leased are as follows (000s):

Beginning on January 1, 1999,  Host subleased  these 53 Courtyard by Marriott(R)
properties  to a subsidiary  of  Crestline  Capital  Corporation  ("Crestline").
However,  Host  remains  our tenant  under the  leases.  Accordingly,  beginning
January 1, 1999,  Host reports  rental  income as compared to hotel sales in the
prior year. Also in the 1999 period,  FF&E contributions and management fees are
paid by the subtenant, Crestline Capital Corporation ("Crestline"). House profit
of $84,704 in the 1999 period reduced by the FF&E contributions  required by our
leases of $8,186,  and  further  reduced by real  estate  taxes and other  costs
totaling  $8,212 which are not subordinate to our rent, or $68,306 was available
to pay rent to us during the 36-week 1999 period. This amount was 1.94 times the
base rent  ($35,164)  and 1.83 times the total rent paid to us for the  36-weeks
ended September 10, 1999.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Results of Operations (dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 versus 1998

Rental income for the 1999 third quarter was $55,198, a 35% increase over rental
income of  $40,798  for the 1998 third  quarter.  This  increase  was due to the
impact on rent of 51 hotels acquired in 1998 and 37 hotels acquired in the first
half of 1999. Rental income is comprised  principally of minimum rent, which was
$54,334 for the 1999 third quarter,  a 33% increase over minimum rent of $40,798
for the 1998 third quarter.  Minimum rent increased  because of the acquisitions
discussed above. Rental income also includes percentage rents which were $864 in
the 1999 third quarter,  a 9% increase over  percentage  rent of $791 (which was
deferred in accordance with EITF 98-9) for the 1998 third quarter.  FF&E reserve
income represents amounts paid by our tenants into restricted  accounts owned by
us, the purpose of which is to accumulate funds for future capital  expenditures
at our  properties.  The  terms  of  our  leases  require  these  amounts  to be
calculated  as a  percentage  of total hotel sales at the  properties.  The FF&E
reserve  income for the 1999 third quarter was $5,879,  a 39% increase over FF&E
reserve  income for the 1998  third  quarter of  $4,223.  This  increase  is due
principally to the impact of additional  hotels owned and the increased level of
total hotel sales experienced at our hotels.  Interest income for the 1999 third
quarter was $1,266,  a $1,112 increase from interest income of $154 for the 1998
third  quarter.  This  increase was due to a higher  average cash balance in the
1999 period.

Interest  expense for the 1999 third  quarter was $8,829,  a 53%  increase  over
interest  expense of $5,783 for the 1998 third quarter.  The increase was due to
higher average  borrowing and an increase in the weighted  average interest rate
during the 1999 period.  These  increases  primarily  resulted from two separate
issuances of senior  unsecured  notes in November  ($115  million at 8 1/4%) and
December ($150 million at 8 1/2%) 1998.  Depreciation and  amortization  expense
for the 1999 third  quarter was $19,318,  a 33% increase over  depreciation  and
amortization  expense of $14,490 for the 1998 third  quarter.  This increase was
due  principally to the full quarter's  impact of the  depreciation of 51 hotels
acquired in 1998 and 37 hotels  acquired in the first half of 1999.  General and
administrative  expense for the 1999 third  quarter was $3,791,  a 36%  increase
over  general and  administrative  expense of $2,790 in the 1998 third  quarter.
This increase is due  principally to the impact of additional  hotels  purchased
throughout 1998 and in the first half of 1999.

Income before  extraordinary  item for the 1999 third quarter was $30,405, a 38%
increase  over income  before  extraordinary  item for the 1998 third quarter of
$22,112. The increase was primarily due to higher rental income partially offset
by  increases  in  depreciation  and  interest  expense.  These  increases  were
primarily  the result of the hotel  acquisitions  and debt  issuances  discussed
above.

Net income  available  for common  shareholders  for the 1999 third  quarter was
$28,624,  a 29% increase over net income  available for common  shareholders for
the 1998  period of $22,107  which  resulted  from the factors  discussed  above
partially offset by preferred dividends in the 1999 period.

On a per share basis,  income  before  extraordinary  item  available for common
shareholders was $0.51, a 2% decrease from the 1998 third quarter.  The decrease
results from the net effect of the factors  discussed  above,  offset by the 32%
increase in the weighted  average  shares  outstanding  that  resulted  from our
common share issuances during 1998 and in the second quarter of 1999.

Funds from operations, or FFO, is defined as net income before extraordinary and
non-recurring  items plus  depreciation  and  amortization of real estate assets
plus deposits made into refurbishment escrows which are not included in revenue.
Cash available for distribution,  or CAD, is FFO less refurbishment escrows plus
amortization  of deferred  financing costs and other non-cash  charges.  For the
three months ended  September  30, 1999,  FFO was $51,319 or $0.91 per share and
CAD was  $42,897 or $0.76 per share.  FFO was $40,093 or $0.94 per share and CAD
was  $33,780 or $0.79 per share in the 1998  period.  Changes in FFO and CAD are
attributable  to the  effects  on  revenues  and  expenses  of  acquisition  and
financing activities in 1998 and 1999 discussed above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 versus 1998

Rental  income for the first nine months of 1999 was  $157,237,  a 38%  increase
over rental income of $113,702 for the first nine months of 1998.  This increase
was due to the full impact of 51 hotels acquired in 1998, and the partial impact
of 37 hotels  acquired in the first half of 1999.  Minimum rent was $154,399 for
the first nine months of 1999, a 38% increase  over minimum rent of $111,721 for
the  first  nine  months  of  1998.   Minimum  rent  increased  because  of  the
acquisitions  discussed  above.  Percentage rents were $2,838 for the first nine
months of 1999, a 2% increase over percentage rents of $2,772 for the first nine
months of 1998, of which $1,981 had been  recognized  and $791 of which had been
deferred in  accordance  with EITF 98-9.  The FF&E reserve  income for the first
nine months of 1999 was $14,947, a 28% increase over FF&E reserve income for the
first nine months of 1998.  This  increase is due  principally  to the impact of
additional hotels owned and the increased level of total hotel sales experienced
at our hotels.  Interest income for the first nine months of 1999 was $2,423,  a
$1,069  increase  from  interest  income of $1,354 for the first nine  months of
1998.  This increase was due to a higher average cash balance in the 1999 period
versus the 1998 period.

Interest expense for the first nine months of 1999 was $28,523,  an 88% increase
over interest expense of $15,178 for the first nine months of 1998. The increase
was  primarily due to higher  average  borrowing and an increase in the weighted
average interest rate during the 1999 period. These increases primarily resulted
from three separate 1998 issuances of senior  unsecured  notes in February ($150
million at 7%),  November ($115 million at 8 1/4%) and December ($150 million at
8 1/2%) of 1998 for a total  of  $414,773,  net of  discount.  Depreciation  and
amortization  expense  for the  first  nine  months of 1999 was  $55,015,  a 39%
increase over  depreciation  and  amortization  expense of $39,617 for the first
nine months of 1998. This increase was due principally to the full impact of the
depreciation  of 51 hotels  acquired in 1998 and the partial impact of 37 hotels
acquired  during  1999.  General and  administrative  expense for the first nine
months of 1999 was  $10,158,  a 34%  increase  over  general and  administrative
expense  for the  first  nine  months  of  1998  of  $7,608.  This  increase  is
principally the impact of additional hotels purchased in 1998 and 1999.

Income before  extraordinary item for the first nine months of 1999 was $80,911,
a 26% increase over income before  extraordinary  item for the first nine months
of 1998 of $64,336.  The increase was  primarily  due to higher  rental  income,
partially  offset by  increases in  depreciation  and  interest  expense.  These
increases  primarily  reflect the impact of hotel  acquisitions  during 1998 and
1999.

Net income  available for common  shareholders for the first nine months of 1999
was $77,586,  a 34% increase over income  available for common  shareholders for
the 1998  period  of  $57,717.  The  increase  was due to the net  effect of the
factors  discussed  above  partially  offset by preferred  dividends in the 1999
period.

On a per share basis,  income  before  extraordinary  item  available for common
shareholders was $1.51, a 2% decrease from the 1998 income before  extraordinary
item  available for common  shareholders  of $1.54.  The decrease was due to the
factors  discussed  above,  offset by the 23% increase in the  weighted  average
shares outstanding that resulted from our common share issuances during 1998 and
in the second quarter of 1999.

For the first nine months of 1999,  FFO was  $142,411 or $2.78 per share and CAD
was $120,331 or $2.35 per share. FFO was $112,604 or $2.70 per share and CAD was
$96,068  or  $2.30  per  share  in the  1998  period.  Growth  in FFO and CAD is
primarily  related to the effects on revenues  and expenses of  acquisitions  in
1998 and 1999.

Cash flow provided by (used for) operating,  investing and financing  activities
was $123,443, ($297,227) and $242,973,  respectively,  for the first nine months
of 1999.  Cash flow from  operations in 1999  increased 27% from $97,372 in 1998
primarily due to the impact on rental revenue from  investments made in 1998 and
1999.  Cash used in  investing  activities  decreased  in 1999 from 1998  levels
primarily  because of  investments  in 40 hotels during the first nine months of
1998 for  $465,190  versus  the  investment  in 37 hotels  during the first nine
months of 1999 for  $332,741.  Cash provided by financing  activities  decreased
from 1998 levels due to the issuance of 3 million preferred shares producing net
proceeds of $72,227 and 10.8 million  common  shares  producing  net proceeds of
$274,595,  offset by an increase in

                                       9
<PAGE>
preferred and common  dividends  during the first nine months of 1999 versus the
issuance of 3,942 common shares, net proceeds of $127,696, term debt of $149,730
net of discount and net borrowings of $182,000 under our credit  facility in the
first nine months of 1998.

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

Our total assets  increased  to $2.2 billion as of September  30, 1999 from $1.8
billion as of December 31,  1998.  The increase  resulted  primarily  from hotel
acquisitions completed during 1999.

In  April  1999 we  issued  3  million  shares  of 9 1/2%  Series  A  Cumulative
Redeemable  Preferred  Shares raising gross proceeds of $75,000 and net proceeds
of $72,227.  The net proceeds were used to repay amounts  outstanding  under our
revolving credit facility.  In May and June 1999 we issued  10,812,400 shares of
beneficial  interest,  par value  $0.01 per share,  raising  gross  proceeds  of
$289,907  and net  proceeds of  $274,595.  The net  proceeds  were used to repay
amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility,  acquire hotels and for
general business purposes.

During the nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  our  subsidiaries  purchased
eighteen  Homestead  Village(R)  hotels,  three  Candlewood   Suites(R),   three
Residence Inn by Marriott(R)  hotels,  one Courtyard by Marriott(R)  hotel,  six
TownePlace   Suites  by  Marriott(R)   hotels  and  six  Sumner   Suites(R)  for
approximately  $332,741,  all  paid for with  the  proceeds  from the  offerings
discussed above and cash on hand.

Subsequent  to  September  30,  1999,  one of  our  subsidiaries  purchased  one
TownePlace  Suites by Marriott(R) hotel for  approximately  $7,840,  paid for by
cash on hand.

We have agreed to acquire two additional  hotels from Marriott for an additional
total investment of approximately  $22,986.  The acquisition of these two hotels
is expected to occur during the remainder of 1999.

All of our leases  require  the  tenants to post a security  deposit,  generally
equal to one year's rent. The security  deposit is payable to each tenant in the
event the tenant elects not to renew its lease.  The terms of some of our leases
and the  related  guarantees  require  some of our  tenants to  deposit  with us
$32,442 in addition to their security deposits to secure their obligations under
the  leases.  These  guarantee  deposits  are  payable to our  tenants  upon the
achievement  of  certain   operating   performance   thresholds  at  the  leased
properties.

At September  30,  1999,  we had $93,799 of cash and cash  equivalents  and zero
outstanding  on our  $300,000  revolving  credit.  From time to time,  including
currently,  we consider  entering or pursuing  transactions  which would provide
equity or debt  capital of various  forms and on various  terms.  On January 15,
1998,  our shelf  registration  statement  for up to $2 billion  of  securities,
including debt securities, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  An  effective  shelf  registration  statement  enables  us to issue
specific  securities to the public on an expedited  basis by filing a prospectus
supplement with the SEC. Currently,  we have $1.0 billion available on our shelf
registration statement. We believe that the capital available to us from time to
time will be  sufficient  to enable the  execution of our business  plan and the
funding of our existing commitments.

All of our investments are leased to and operated by third parties. All costs of
operating and maintaining our hotels are paid by our tenants.  All of our 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
Reserve"). Funds escrowed in the FF&E reserve accounts are used for improvements
to, and  refurbishment  of, our hotels.  As of September  30,  1999,  we and our
tenants  had  approximately  $37,700 on deposit  in these  refurbishment  escrow
accounts.

To maintain  our status as a real estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  under the
Internal  Revenue  Code  , we  must  meet  certain  requirements  including  the
distribution of at least 95% of our taxable income to our shareholders.
Because we are a REIT, we expect not to pay federal income taxes.

Distributions are based principally on cash available for distribution, which is
net income available for common  shareholders 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.

On September 8, 1999, our Trustees  declared a dividend on the preferred  shares
of $0.59375 per preferred  share to be paid to preferred  shareholders of record
as of September 15, 1999, which was distributed on September 30, 1999.

                                       10
<PAGE>
Distributions  with  respect to the  second  quarter  1999  results of $0.69 per
common share were made in August 1999.  Distributions  declared  with respect to
third  quarter  1999  results  of  $0.69  per  common  share  will  be  paid  to
shareholders on or about November 18, 1999.  Distributions to shareholders for a
year in excess of taxable income for that year constitute return of capital.

Funding for current  expenses and  distributions  is provided by our operations,
primarily our leasing of owned properties.

Property Leases

As of September  30, 1999,  we own or are committed to purchase 210 hotels which
are grouped into  combinations and leased to 11 separate  affiliates of publicly
owned hotel companies Marriott, Host Marriott, Crestline, Wyndham International,
Inc., Homestead Village,  Inc., Candlewood Hotel Company and ShoLodge,  Inc. The
tables on the following pages summarize the key terms of our leases and the most
recent operating results of our tenants.

     1999 and $23.0 million in commitments  expected to be funded later in 1999. The current security deposit of $18,915
     will be increased to $21,322 as the outstanding commitments are funded.

(2)  Renewal options may be exercised by the tenant for all, but not less than all, of the hotels within a lease pool.

(3)  Each lease  provides for payment to us as  additional  rent of a percentage  of increases in total hotel sales over
     base year levels.

(4)  Because a majority of these properties were not open or had operating histories of less than one year as of January
     1, 1999, a display of comparative operating results is not meaningful.

(1)  During the second quarter of 1999 the initial lease term was extended by three years to June 30, 2011.

(2)  Renewal  options may be exercised  by the tenant for all, but not less than all, of the hotels  within a lease
     pool.

(3)  Each lease  provides for payment to us as  additional  rent of a percentage  of increases in total hotel sales
     over base year levels.

(4)  Includes the 15 hotels open throughout the entire 1999 and comparable 1998 periods.  Includes  information for
     periods prior to our acquisition of certain properties.

(5)  Includes information for periods prior to our acquisition of certain properties.

(6)  Because a majority of these  properties  were not open or had operating  histories of less than one year as of
     January 1, 1999, a display of comparative operating results is not meaningful.

Seasonality

Our hotels have historically  experienced  seasonal  differences  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
expected to cause  fluctuations in our rental income because we believe that the
revenues generated by our hotels will be sufficient for the tenants to pay rents
on a regular basis notwithstanding seasonal fluctuations.

Year 2000

Our in-house computer systems are limited to software and hardware  developed by
third parties and installed,  operated and monitored by our investment  advisor.
All of our computer  systems,  which are limited to  information  systems,  were
installed within the last two years. All of our critical enterprise wide systems
are warrantied in writing to be Year 2000 compliant by the manufacturer and have
been  tested by our  investment  advisor.  These  systems  include  the  network
hardware,  the network operating system, the desktop operating system,  business
application software,  financial accounting software and communication software.
Other than those  operated by our tenants,  we have no critical non  information
technology  systems,  and no such systems are  provided to us by our  investment
advisor.  All costs associated with our computer systems are the  responsibility
of our investment advisor.

All of our  properties  are leased on a triple net basis and are not  managed by
us. Our business is heavily  dependent  upon the efforts of third party  tenants
and their  affiliates  which  operate  all of our  hotels.  Our leases and other
contractual   relationships   require  these  operators  to  conduct  the  daily
operations  of our  hotels  and the  scope  of the  operators'  responsibilities
includes ensuring  preparedness for the Year 2000.  Accordingly,  our activities
related to Year 2000  issues that might  effect the systems  used to run hotels,
which include reservations,  financial, accounting, personnel, payroll, payables
and other  financial,  information and operating  systems,  have been limited to
inquiry and evaluation of our operators' preparedness and contingency plans. All
of our  tenants  are  operated  by public  companies  which have  filed  reports
containing Year 2000 preparedness  information with the SEC. As of September 30,
1999 Marriott, Host, Wyndham, Candlewood, Homestead and ShoLodge, have responded
in writing to our inquiries  related to the Year 2000.  Based on these responses
and public  disclosures which we have reviewed,  we believe that these operators
are in the process of studying  their systems and the systems of their  vendors,
suppliers  and  service  providors  to ensure  preparedness.  Current  levels of
preparedness are varied and include partially completed inventory and assessment
of  potential  risks,  testing,  implementation  of plans  for  remediation  and
reprogramming. While we believe the efforts of our tenants and their contingency
plans  described in their responses will be or are adequate to address Year 2000
concerns,  there can be no  guarantee  that all tenant  operations  and those of
their  vendors  and payors and the systems of other  companies  on which we rely
will be Year  2000  compliant  on a timely  basis  and will not have a  material
effect on us. Our costs related to the Year 2000 issues are expected to be zero.

If our efforts and the efforts of our vendors,  customers and tenants to prepare
for the Year 2000 were  ineffective,  the operation of our  properties  could be
subject to significant adverse effects,  including,  but not limited to, loss of
business and growth opportunities, reduced revenues and increased expenses which
might cause  operating  losses by our  tenants.  Continued  or severe  operating
losses may inhibit our tenants'  ability to pay rent,  delay the  timeliness  of
rent  payments,  or cause one or more of our  tenants to  ultimately  default on
leases.  Numerous lease  defaults  could  jeopardize our ability to maintain our
financial  results of operations and meet our  financial,  operating and capital
obligations and timely pay distributions to our shareholders.

We do not  currently  have a  contingency  plan in place in the event we, or our
operators,  do not  successfully  remedy  Year 2000  compliance  issues that are
identified in a timely manner or fail to identify any Year 2000 issues.  We will
evaluate the status of our Year 2000  compliance  plan in the fourth  quarter of
1999 and determine whether a contingency plan is necessary.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates.

We manage our  exposure to this market risk by  monitoring  available  financing
alternatives.  Our strategy to manage  exposure to changes in interest  rates is
unchanged since December 31, 1998. We do not foresee any significant  changes in
our exposure other than as described  below to fluctuations in interest rates or
in how we manage this exposure in the near future.  At September  30, 1999,  our
total outstanding debt consisted of three issues of fixed rate, senior unsecured
notes:

</TABLE>

No  principal  repayments  are due under  these notes  until  maturity.  Because
interest on all of our  outstanding  debt at  September  30,  1999,  is at fixed
rates,  changes in interest  rates  during the term of this debt will not effect
our operating  results.  If at maturity these notes were  refinanced at interest
rates which are 10% higher than shown above,  our per annum  interest cost would
increase  by  approximately  $3,274.  Based on the  balances  outstanding  as of
September 30, 1999, a hypothetical  immediate 10% change in interest rates would
change  the fair  value of our fixed  rate  debt  obligations  by  approximately
$21,000.

Each of our fixed rate debt  arrangements  allow us to make  repayments  earlier
than the stated  maturity  date.  In some  cases,  we are  allowed to make early
repayment  at par  after a set date and in other  cases we are  allowed  to make
prepayments only at a premium to face value.  These prepayment rights may afford
us the  opportunity  to mitigate the risk of  refinancing  at maturity at higher
rates by refinancing prior to maturity.

Our line of credit bears  interest at floating  rates and matures in 2002. As of
September 30, 1999,  there was zero  outstanding  and $300 million was available
for drawing under our revolving credit  facility.  Our revolving credit facility
is available to finance our commitments and for general business purposes. As of
September 30, 1999, our acquisition  commitments totaled approximately  $30,826,
excluding  closing costs $7,840 of which was funded  subsequent to September 30,
1999, with cash on hand.  Assuming these commitments were funded with borrowings
under our revolving credit facility,  and assuming interest rates increased 10%,
our annualized  interest cost would increase by approximately  $198.  Repayments
under the revolving credit facility may be made at any time without penalty. Our
exposure  to  fluctuations  in interest  rates may in the future  increase if we
incur debt to fund future acquisitions or otherwise.
