                          HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

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

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, 1999. 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  December  1999  the  Securities  and  Exchange   Commission  released  Staff
Accounting  Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101").  SAB 101 is expected to have no impact
on our annual results of operations. SAB 101 requires us to defer recognition of
certain  percentage  rental income from the first,  second and third quarters to
the fourth quarter within a year. We adopted SAB 101 beginning  January 1, 2000,
without  restatement  of prior periods.  If SAB 101 had been  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, and the deferred percentage rent balance would have been $2,838 at
September  30, 1999. If SAB 101 had not been  applicable  for the three and nine
months ended  September 30, 2000, net income  available for common  shareholders
would have been $30,075 ($0.53/share) and $89,121 ($1.58/share), respectively.

Note 2.  Shareholders' Equity

In August 2000 we paid a $0.69 per share distribution to common shareholders for
the quarter  ended June 30, 2000.  On October 5, 2000,  our Trustees  declared a
distribution  of $0.70 per share to be paid to common  shareholders of record on
October 19, 2000, which will be distributed on or about November 21, 2000.

On September  29, 2000, we paid a $0.59375 per share  distribution  to preferred
shareholders.

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

Note 3.  Indebtedness

As of September  30, 2000,  we had zero  outstanding  on our $300,000  revolving
credit facility.

In July 2000 we issued  $50,000 of 9.125%  unsecured  senior notes due 2010. Net
proceeds of $49,630  were used to repay  amounts  outstanding  on our  revolving
credit facility and for general business purposes.

Note 4.  Real Estate Properties

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we purchased  twelve hotels for
approximately  $128,331  using cash on hand and  borrowings  under our revolving
credit  facility.  We did not purchase any hotels  during the three months ended
September 30, 2000.

1    The statement of operations for the thirty-six  weeks ended  September 10, 1999, has been
     restated by the lessee to reflect their retroactive adoption of SAB 101 effective January
     1, 1999.  As a result of the  lessee's  adoption of SAB 101,  recognition  of  percentage
     rental revenue for the thirty-six weeks ended September 10, 1999, of $7,314 was deferred.
     Recognition  of percentage  rental revenue for the  thirty-six  weeks ended  September 8,
     2000, of $8,389 was deferred and is included in liabilities as deferred rent.  Percentage
     rent will be recognized as income during the year once specified  hotel sales  thresholds
     are achieved.

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, 2000 versus 1999

Rental  income for the 2000 third  quarter was  $58,658,  a 6.3%  increase  over
rental  income of $55,198 for the 1999 third  quarter.  This increase was due to
the full quarter's  impact of rent from the acquisition of 15 hotels  subsequent
to the second quarter 1999,  offset  somewhat by the adoption of SAB 101. Rental
income in the 2000 period is minimum  rent,  of $58,658,  an 8.0%  increase over
minimum  rent of $54,334  for the 1999 third  quarter.  Minimum  rent  increased
principally  because of the acquisitions  discussed  above.  Percentage rent was
$1,416 and $864 in the 2000 and 1999 third  quarters,  respectively.  Due to our
adoption  of SAB 101,  recognition  of $1,416 of  percentage  rental  income was
deferred in the 2000 third quarter until such time as annual thresholds are met.
If we had not adopted SAB 101,  percentage rental income would have increased by
63.9%. This increase is the result of hotels that began to yield percentage rent
during the last 12 months and to  increases  in total sales at our hotels.  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.  The terms of our leases require these amounts to be calculated as
a percentage of total hotel sales at our properties. The FF&E reserve income for
the 2000 third quarter was $6,724,  a 14.4% increase over FF&E reserve income of
$5,879 for the 1999 third  quarter.  This  increase  is due  principally  to the
impact of acquisitions and the increased level of total sales experienced at our
hotels.  Interest  income for the 2000 third quarter was $442, a 65.1%  decrease
from interest income of $1,266 for the 1999 third quarter. This decrease was due
to a lower average cash balance  partially  offset by a higher average  interest
rate in the 2000 period.

Interest  expense for the 2000 third quarter was $9,891,  a 12.0%  increase over
interest  expense  of  $8,829  for the 1999  third  quarter.  The  increase  was
primarily due to higher average  borrowings  during the 2000 period from $50,000
of 9.125%  Senior  Notes  issued in July  2000.  Depreciation  and  amortization
expense  for  the  2000  third  quarter  was  $21,639,  a  12.0%  increase  over
depreciation  and  amortization  expense of $19,318 for the 1999 third  quarter.
This  increase  was  due  principally  to  the  full  quarter's  impact  of  the
depreciation of 15 hotels  acquired and the purchase of depreciable  assets with
funds from FF&E reserve restricted accounts owned by us subsequent to the second
quarter 1999. General and administrative  expense for the 2000 third quarter was
$3,854, a 1.7% increase over general and administrative expense of $3,791 in the
1999 third quarter. This increase is due principally to the impact of additional
hotels purchased in 1999 and 2000.

Net income for the 2000 third  quarter was $30,440,  or $0.54 per share,  a 0.1%
increase  over net income for the 1999 third  quarter of  $30,405,  or $0.54 per
share.  The increase was due to higher rental income,  the effects of which were
partially  offset by the  following:  the  adoption  of SAB 101, a  decrease  in
interest income and increases in depreciation,  interest expense and general and
administrative expenses discussed above.

Net income  available  for common  shareholders  for the 2000 third  quarter was
$28,659 or $0.51 per share, a 0.1% increase over net income available for common
shareholders  of $28,624,  or $0.51 per share for the 1999 third  quarter.  This
change resulted  primarily from the investment and operating  activity discussed
above offset somewhat by the impact of SAB 101.

Funds from  operations,  or FFO, is defined as net income  available  for common
shareholders before extraordinary and non-recurring items, plus depreciation and
amortization  of real estate assets,  plus deferred  percentage rent relating to
operations  from the current  periods,  plus FF&E escrow  payments which are not
included in revenue.  FFO does not equal cash flow from operating  activities as
defined by generally accepted accounting principals and should not be considered
an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to
cash as a measure of liquidity. Cash available for distribution,  or CAD, is FFO
less FF&E escrow  payments plus  amortization  of deferred  financing  costs and
other non-cash charges. For the 2000 third quarter FFO was $55,672, or $0.99 per
share,  and CAD was $45,849,  or $0.81 per share. For the 1999 third quarter FFO
was  $51,319,  or $0.91 per  share,  and CAD was  $42,897,  or $0.76 per  share.
Increases  in FFO  and CAD are  attributable  to the  effects  on  revenues  and
expenses of the operating, investing and financing activities discussed above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 versus 1999

Rental income for the first nine months of 2000 was  $169,968,  an 8.1% increase
over rental income of $157,237 for the 1999 period. This increase was due to the
full period's impact of 37 hotels purchased during the 1999 period, three hotels
purchased  subsequent to the 1999 period and the partial period impact of the 12
hotels purchased during the 2000 period,  offset somewhat by the adoption of SAB
101. Rental income in the 2000 period is minimum rent, of $169,968 for the first
nine months of 2000, a 10.1% increase over minimum rent of $154,399 for the same
period in 1999. Minimum rent increased  principally  because of the acquisitions
discussed above. Percentage rent was $4,186 and $2,838 for the first nine months
of 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Due to our adoption of SAB 101, recognition of
$4,186 of  percentage  rental  income  was  deferred  in 2000 until such time as
annual  thresholds  are met. If we had not adopted  SAB 101,  percentage  rental
income would have  increased by 47.5%.  This increase is primarily the result of
hotels that began to yield  percentage  rent  during the last 12 months,  and to
increases  in total sales at some of our  hotels.  FF&E  reserve  income for the
first nine months of 2000 was $19,290 a 29.1%  increase over FF&E reserve income
of $14,947 for the 1999 period.  This increase is due  principally to the impact
of acquisitions  and the increased  level of total sales  experienced at some of
our hotels. Interest income for the first nine months of 2000 was $2,382, a 1.7%
decrease from interest  income of $2,423 for the 1999 period.  This decrease was
due to a lower average cash balance being  partially  offset by a higher average
interest rate in the 2000 period.

Interest expense for the first nine months of 2000 was $27,700,  a 2.9% decrease
over interest expense of $28,523 for the first nine months of 1999. The decrease
was due to lower average borrowings during the 2000 period offset somewhat by an
increase in weighted average interest rates from 7.8% in the 1999 period to 8.0%
in the 2000 period.  Depreciation  and  amortization  expense for the first nine
months of 2000 was $62,508,  a 13.6% increase over depreciation and amortization
expense of $55,015  for the first nine  months of 1999.  This  increase  was due
principally  to the  full  period's  impact  of the  depreciation  of 37  hotels
acquired  and the  purchase of  depreciable  assets with funds from FF&E reserve
restricted  accounts  owned by us during 1999 and the  partial  impact of the 12
hotels  acquired along with the purchase of  depreciable  assets with funds from
FF&E reserve restricted accounts owned by us during the 2000 period. General and
administrative  expense  for the first nine months of 2000 was  $11,153,  a 9.8%
increase over general and  administrative  expense of $10,158 for the first nine
months of 1999.  This  increase is due  principally  to the impact of additional
hotels purchased in 1999 and 2000.

Net income for the first nine months of 2000 was $90,279,  a 11.6% increase over
net  income of $80,911  for the first  nine  months of 1999.  The  increase  was
primarily due to higher rental income and lower interest expense, the effects of
which  were  partially  offset  by the  adoption  of SAB  101 and  increases  in
depreciation and general and administrative expenses.

Net income  available for common  shareholders for the first nine months of 2000
was $84,935,  a 9.5% increase over net income available for common  shareholders
of $77,586  for the 1999  period.  This  increase  resulted  primarily  from the
investment  and  operating  activity   discussed  above,   partially  offset  by
distributions  to holders of  preferred  shares which were  outstanding  for the
entire 2000 period  versus the 1999  period in which they were  outstanding  for
approximately five months and the impact of SAB 101 discussed above.

On a per share basis,  net income  available for common  shareholders was $1.50,
which is a 0.7% decline from the 1999 period of $1.51. This decline results from
the 9.5%  increase in net income  available  for common  shareholders  discussed
above, offset by a 10.2% increase in weighted average common shares outstanding.

Funds from  operations,  or FFO, is defined as net income  available  for common
shareholders before extraordinary and non-recurring items, plus depreciation and
amortization  of real estate assets,  plus deferred  percentage rent relating to
operations from the current periods, FF&E escrow payments which are not included
in revenue.  Cash  available for  distribution,  or CAD, is FFO less FF&E escrow
payments  plus  amortization  of  deferred  financing  costs and other  non-cash
charges. For the first nine months of 2000 FFO was $163,091, or $2.89 per share,
and CAD was $134,906,  or $2.39 per share. 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.
Changes in FFO and CAD are  attributable to the effects on revenues and expenses
of the operating, investing and financing activities discussed above.

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

Our total  assets  increased  to  $2,233,654  as of  September  30,  2000,  from
$2,194,852 as of December 31, 1999.  The increase  resulted  primarily  from new
investments in hotels of approximately  $151,074 offset by reduced cash balances
and depreciation expense.

Each of our leases  requires  the tenant to post a security  deposit,  generally
equal to one year's minimum rent. The security deposit is payable to each tenant
at lease  expiration  in the event the tenant  elects not to exercise  its lease
renewal  options.  Some of our leases are guaranteed by our tenant's  affiliates
and these  affiliates have deposited with us an aggregate of $34,942 in addition
to the lease  security  deposits to secure  their  guaranty  obligations.  These
guarantee  deposits  are  payable to the  guarantors  upon the  achievement  and
documentation  of  certain  operating  performance   thresholds  at  the  leased
properties.  We expect that guarantee deposits of $5,275 will be returned during
2000.

We have agreed, subject to certain customary conditions, to purchase for $55,562
two hotels now under  construction  by the seller.  We expect to purchase one of
these  hotels for  $30,898  during the fourth  quarter of 2000 and the other for
$24,664 during the first quarter 2001. From time to time,  including  currently,
we consider  entering or pursuing  transactions  which would require future cash
purchases of hotels or other investments.

At September  30,  2000,  we had $24,247 of cash and cash  equivalents  and zero
outstanding  on our  $300,000  revolving  credit  facility.  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 July
14, and July 28, 2000,  we issued an  aggregate  of $50,000 of senior  unsecured
notes due 2010.  Net proceeds of  approximately  $49,630 were used to reduce the
outstanding  balances  on our line of  credit to zero and for  general  business
purposes.  On January  15,  1998,  our shelf  registration  statement  for up to
$2,000,000 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  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.  Currently,  we have  $950,000  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 plans.

All of our hotels  are leased to and  operated  by third  parties.  All costs of
operating  and  maintaining  our hotels are paid by our tenants.  In addition to
minimum and percentage  rents,  all of our leases require a percentage,  usually
5%, of total hotel sales to be escrowed by the tenant or operator into a reserve
for future renovations and refurbishment  ("FF&E Reserve").  As of September 30,
2000,  we and  our  tenants  had  approximately  $40,566  on  deposit  in  these
refurbishment escrow accounts.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
$30,752 was deposited  into these accounts and $28,451 was spent to renovate and
refurbish our properties.

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 a substantial portion of our taxable income to our shareholders.
As a  REIT,  we  expect  not  to pay  federal  income  taxes.  In  1999  federal
legislation  was enacted which will, as of January 1, 2001,  among other things,
allow a REIT to lease hotels to a so-called  "taxable  REIT  subsidiary"  if the
hotel is operated  and managed on behalf of such  subsidiary  by an  independent
third  party.  Many,  but not all,  states have  adopted the  provisions  of the
federal legislation.  We believe that this legislation may provide opportunities
to enable us to  consider  or enter into  transactions  without the need to rely
upon a third-party tenant intermediary.

Distributions are based principally on cash available for distribution, which is
net income  available for common  shareholders  plus deferred  percentage  rent,
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 cash flow provided by operating
activities is affected by other  factors not included in the cash  available for
distribution calculation.

On August 14, 2000, our Trustees  declared a distribution on preferred shares of
$0.59375 per preferred  share to be paid to preferred  shareholders of record as
of September 15, 2000, which was distributed on September 29, 2000.

Common share  distributions  with respect to the second  quarter 2000 results of
$0.69 per common  share were made in August  2000.  Common  share  distributions
declared  with  respect to third  quarter 2000 results of $0.70 per common share
will be paid to shareholders in November 2000.

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

Property Leases

As of September 30, 2000, we own or have  committed to purchase 224 hotels which
are grouped into  combinations and leased to 11 separate  affiliates of publicly
owned companies:  Marriott  International,  Inc. ("Marriott"),  Host, Crestline,
Wyndham International, Inc. ("Wyndham"), Security Capital Group, Inc. ("Security
Capital"),  Candlewood Hotel Company  ("Candlewood") and Prime Hospitality Corp.
("Prime").

On July 11, 2000, we announced  our consent to the  assignment of a lease for 24
hotels then leased to ShoLodge, Inc. to Prime Hospitality Corp. (NYSE: PDQ). All
24 hotels,  which were  branded as Sumner  Suites(R),  have been  re-branded  as
AmeriSuites(R)hotels.  In  connection  with the  lease  assignment  to Prime the
initial lease term was extended two years to 2013.

The  tables  the  following  pages  summarize  the key  terms of our  leases  at
September 30, 2000, and recent comparative  operating statistics of our tenants'
hotels for the first nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

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 our
rents on a regular basis notwithstanding seasonal fluctuations.


Item 3.  Quantitative  and  Qualitative  Disclosures  About  Market Risk (dollar
amounts in thousands)

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, 1999.  Other than as  described  below we do not
foresee any  significant  changes in our  exposure to  fluctuations  in interest
rates or in how we manage this  exposure in the near future.  At  September  30,
2000, our outstanding debt included four issues of fixed rate,  senior unsecured
notes as follows:

</TABLE>

No principal repayments are due under these notes until maturity.  Because these
notes bear interest at fixed rates,  changes in market interest rates during the
term of this debt will not effect our operating  results.  If at maturity  these
notes are  refinanced  at interest  rates which are 10% higher than shown above,
our per annum interest cost would increase by approximately $3,730. Based on the
balances  outstanding  as of September  30, 2000, a  hypothetical  immediate 10%
change in  interest  rates  would  change  the fair value of our fixed rate debt
obligations by approximately $19,685.

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,  2000,  there was zero  outstanding  and $300,000  available  for
drawing under our revolving  credit  facility.  Our revolving credit facility is
available to finance our  commitments  and for general  business  purposes.  Our
exposure  to  fluctuations  in interest  rates may in the future  increase if we
incur debt to fund future acquisitions or otherwise.  A change in interest rates
would not  affect  the value of our  floating  rate debt  obligations  but would
affect the interest  which we must pay on this debt.  The  interest  rate market
which has an  impact  upon us is the U.S.  dollar  interest  rate for  corporate
obligations,  including  floating  rate LIBOR based  obligations  and fixed rate
obligations.
