                          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 six  months  ended June 30,  1999,  net  income  available  for common
shareholders  would have been $25,032  ($0.49/share) and $46,988  ($0.97/share),
respectively, and the deferred percentage rent balance would have been $1,974 at
June 30, 1999.

Note 2.  Shareholders' Equity

In May 2000 we paid a $0.69 per share  distribution to common  shareholders  for
the quarter  ended March 31,  2000.  On July 6, 2000,  our  Trustees  declared a
distribution  of $0.69 per share to be paid to common  shareholders of record on
July 20, 2000: this amount will be distributed on or about August 24, 2000.

On June 30,  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  June  30,  2000,  we had  $42,000  outstanding  on our  revolving  credit
facility.  Subsequent to June 30, 2000, we paid $42,000 to reduce the balance on
this revolving credit facility to zero.

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.

Note 4.  Real Estate Properties

During the six months  ended  June 30,  2000,  we  purchased  twelve  hotels for
approximately  $128,331  using cash on hand and  borrowings  under our revolving
credit facility.

            revenue for the twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 1999, of $4,675 was

            twenty-four weeks ended June 16, 2000, of $5,193 was deferred and is
            included  in  liabilities  as  deferred  rent as of June  16,  2000.
            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 June 30, 2000 versus 1999

Rental  income for the 2000 second  quarter was $56,188,  a 6.0%  increase  over
rental income of $52,997 for the 1999 second  quarter.  This increase was due to
the partial  quarter's  impact of rent from the  acquisition of 12 hotels during
the  2000  second  quarter,  and the  full  quarter's  impact  of rent  from the
acquisition of 13 hotels  subsequent to the first quarter 1999. Rental income is
comprised  principally  of minimum  rent,  which was $56,188 for the 2000 second
quarter,  a 8.1%  increase  over  minimum  rent of $51,963  for the 1999  second
quarter.   Minimum  rent  increased  principally  because  of  the  acquisitions
discussed  above.  Percentage  rent was  $1,557  and $1,034 in the 2000 and 1999
second  quarter,  respectively.  Due to our adoption of SAB 101,  recognition of
$1,557 of percentage rental income was deferred in the 2000 second quarter until
such  time as  annual  thresholds  are  met.  If we had  not  adopted  SAB  101,
percentage  rental  income would have  increased by 50.6%.  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 second quarter was
$6,599,  a 33.2% increase over FF&E reserve income of $4,954 for the 1999 second
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 second  quarter was $852, an 18.1%  decrease  from  interest  income of
$1,040 for the 1999 second  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 second quarter was $8,981,  an 8.0% decrease over
interest expense of $9,759 for the 1999 second quarter.  The decrease was due to
lower average  borrowings during the 2000 period.  Depreciation and amortization
expense  for  the  2000  second  quarter  was  $20,693,  a 12.3%  increase  over
depreciation  and  amortization  expense of $18,426 for the 1999 second quarter.
This  increase  was  due  principally  to  the  full  quarter's  impact  of  the
depreciation  of 13 hotels  acquired  subsequent  to first  quarter 1999 and the
partial  quarter's  impact of the 12 hotels  acquired  during the second quarter
2000. General and administrative expense for the 2000 second quarter was $3,660,
a 14.5% increase over general and  administrative  expense of $3,196 in the 1999
second  quarter.  This increase is due  principally  to the impact of additional
hotels purchased in 1999 and 2000.

Net income for the 2000 second  quarter was $30,305,  a 9.8%  increase  over net
income for the 1999 second  quarter.  The increase was  primarily  due to higher
rental income and lower  interest  expense,  the effects of which were partially
offset by an increase in  depreciation  expense.  Increases in rental income and
depreciation were primarily the result of the hotel acquisitions during 1999 and
2000.  Reduced  interest  expense  was the  result  of  lower  average  balances
outstanding under our credit facility during the 2000 second quarter.

Net income  available for common  shareholders  for the 2000 second  quarter was
$28,524,  a 9.4% increase over net income  available for common  shareholders of
$26,066  for the 1999 second  quarter.  This  change  resulted  from the factors
discussed  above,  partially  offset  by a  full  quarter  of  distributions  on
preferred  shares  which were  outstanding  for the entire 2000  second  quarter
versus only a partial quarter of distributions in the 1999 second quarter.

On a per common share basis,  net income  available for common  shareholders for
the 2000 second quarter was $0.51,  the same as for the 1999 second quarter.  No
change in per common share net income available for common shareholders  results
from the net 9.4%  increase  in net income  available  for  common  shareholders
discussed  above,  offset by the 9.4% increase in the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding resulting from common share issuances during 1999.

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 deposits made into FF&E escrows which
are not included in revenue.  Cash  available for  distribution,  or CAD, is FFO
less FF&E  escrows  plus  amortization  of  deferred  financing  costs and other
non-cash charges. For the 2000 second quarter FFO was $54,819 or $0.97 per share
and CAD was  $45,029 or $0.80 per share.  For the 1999  second  quarter  FFO was
$47,854 or $0.93 per share and CAD was $40,525 or $0.79 per share.  Increases in
FFO and CAD are  attributable  to the  effects on revenues  and  expenses of the
acquisition and financing activities discussed above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 versus 1999

Rental  income for the first six months of 2000 was  $111,310,  a 9.1%  increase
over rental income of $102,039 for the 1999 period. This increase was due to the
full period's impact of 40 hotels  purchased  during 1999 and the partial period
impact of the 12 hotels purchased during the 2000 second quarter.  Rental income
is comprised  principally of minimum rent,  which was $111,310 for the first six
months of 2000,  an 11.2%  increase  over  minimum rent of $100,065 for the same
period in 1999. Minimum rent increased  principally  because of the acquisitions
discussed above.  Percentage rent was $2,770 and $1,974 for the first six months
of 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Due to our adoption of SAB 101, recognition of
$2,770 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 40.3%.  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 six months of 2000 was $12,566 a 38.6%  increase over FF&E reserve  income
of $9,068 for the 1999 period. 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 first six months of 2000 was $1,940,  a 67.7%  increase
from interest  income of $1,157 for the 1999 period.  This increase was due to a
higher  average  cash  balance and a higher  average  interest  rate in the 2000
period.

Interest  expense for the first six months of 2000 was $17,809,  a 9.6% decrease
over interest  expense of $19,694 for the first six months of 1999. The decrease
was due to lower average  borrowings  during the 2000 period.  Depreciation  and
amortization  expense  for the first six  months  of 2000 was  $40,869,  a 14.5%
increase over depreciation and amortization expense of $35,697 for the first six
months of 1999. This increase was due principally to the full period's impact of
the depreciation of 40 hotels acquired during 1999 and the partial impact of the
12 hotels acquired during the 2000 period.  General and  administrative  expense
for the first six months of 2000 was $7,299,  a 14.6%  increase over general and
administrative expense of $6,367 for the first six months of 1999. This increase
is due  principally  to the impact of  additional  hotels  purchased in 1999 and
2000.

Net income for the first six months of 2000 was $59,839,  a 18.5%  increase over
net  income of  $50,506  for the first six  months  of 1999.  The  increase  was
primarily due to higher rental and interest  income and lower interest  expense,
the effects of which were  partially  offset by  increases in  depreciation  and
general and administrative expenses. These changes, were primarily the result of
additional hotels purchased during 1999 and 2000.

Net income  available for common  shareholders  for the first six months of 2000
was $56,276, a 14.9% increase over net income available for common  shareholders
of  $48,962  for the 1999  period.  This  increase  resulted  from  the  factors
discussed  above,  partially  offset  by a  full  quarter  of  distributions  on
preferred shares which were outstanding for the entire 2000 period versus only a
partial quarter of distributions in the 1999 second quarter.

On a per share basis,  net income  available for common  shareholders was $1.00,
which is a 1.0% decline from the 1999 period of $1.01. This decline results from
the 14.9%  increase in net income  available for common  shareholders  discussed
above, offset by a 16.1% 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  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 first six  months of 2000,  FFO was
$107,419  or $1.90 per share and CAD was  $89,057  or $1.58 per  share.  For the
first six months of 1999, FFO was $91,052 or $1.87 per share and CAD was $77,434
or $1.59 per share.  Changes in FFO and CAD are  attributable  to the effects on
revenues and expenses of acquisition and financing activities discussed above.

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

Our total assets  increased to $2,233,177 as of June 30, 2000 from $2,194,852 as
of December 31, 1999. The increase  resulted  primarily from new  investments in
hotels  of   approximately   $145,964   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  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 $32,442 in addition
to the lease  security  deposits to secure  their  guaranty  obligations.  These
guarantee  deposits  are  payable  to  our  tenants  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.

At June  30,  2000,  we had  $9,141  of cash and cash  equivalents  and  $42,000
outstanding on our $300,000 revolving credit facility.  We have agreed,  subject
to certain conditions, to purchase for $55,562 two hotels now under construction
by the seller. 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  corporate  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 $1,000,000 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.  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 future renovations and refurbishment  ("FF&E
Reserve").  As of June 30, 2000, we and our tenants had approximately $34,918 on
deposit in these refurbishment escrow accounts.

To maintain 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.

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 May 16, 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 June 15, 2000, which was distributed on June 30, 2000.

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

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

Property Leases

As of June 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., Host, Crestline, Wyndham International,
Inc., Security Capital Group, Inc.,  Candlewood Hotel Company and ShoLodge,  Inc
("ShoLodge").

                          HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

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

The tables on this and the following  page summarize the key terms of our leases
at June 30, 2000, and recent  comparative  operating  statistics of our tenants'
hotels for the first six months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  These  tables do
not reflect our consent to the  assignment of lease to Prime  Hospitality  Corp.
discussed above.

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 June 30, 2000,
our outstanding debt included three issues of fixed rate, senior unsecured notes
as follows:


                           Interest Rate                                                           Total Interest
Principal Balance            Per Year            Maturity          Interest Payments Due          Expense Per Year
- -----------------            --------            --------          ---------------------          ----------------
                                                                                         

$115,000                       8.25%               2005                   Monthly                      $ 9,488
$150,000                       7.00%               2008                Semi-Annually                   10,500
$150,000                       8.50%               2009                   Monthly                      12,750


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 $3,274. Based on the
balances outstanding as of June 30, 2000, a hypothetical immediate 10% change in
interest rates would change the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations by
approximately $17,385.

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
June 30, 2000, there was $42,000  outstanding and $258,000 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.  Repayments  under the revolving  credit
agreement may be made at any time without  penalty.  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 following  table shows
the impact of a 10% change in interest rates would have on our interest  expense
for our floating rate outstanding at June 30, 2000.



                               Interest            Debt                 Annualized         Impact of
Circumstance                     Rate          Outstanding           Interest Expense       Change
- ------------                     ----          -----------           ----------------       ------
                                                                                 

Conditions at June 30, 2000      7.81%            $42,000                 $3,281                --
A 10% increase                   8.59%             42,000                  3,609               328
A 10% decrease                   7.03%             42,000                  2,953              (328)


The foregoing table shows the impact of an immediate change in floating interest
rates. If these changes occurred  gradually over time the impact would be spread
over time.

We prepaid all of the floating  rate debt after the close of the second  quarter
and issued  $50,000  of new  unsecured  fixed  rate  notes due in 2010,  bearing
interest at 9.125% per annum.

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.
