                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  (dollars in thousands, except per share data)
                                   (Unaudited)

         1.       Basis of presentation

         The  financial   statements  of  Hospitality   Properties  Trust  ("the
Company") have been prepared in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting
principles for interim  financial  information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of
the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted   accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for interim periods are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the full
year.

         2.       Organization and Commencement of Operations

         The Company  was  originally  incorporated  in the state of Delaware on
February  7, 1995.  Subsequently,  the  Company  became a Maryland  real  estate
investment  trust  and  effected  a  400-for-1  split of its  common  shares  of
beneficial interest (the Shares). The Company, which invests in income producing
real estate,  primarily hotel and lodging related  properties,  was a 100% owned
subsidiary of Health and  Retirement  Properties  Trust (HRP) from its inception
through August 22, 1995 when it completed its initial public  offering of Shares
(the IPO).

         The Company  commenced  operations  on March 24, 1995 by  acquiring  21
hotels and related  replacement and  refurbishment  reserves (the FF&E Reserves)
for approximately $179,400 from affiliates of Host Marriott Corporation of which
$17,940 was retained by the Company as a security  deposit.  The  properties are
leased to a subsidiary (Host) of Host Marriott  Corporation and are managed by a
subsidiary  (Marriott)  of Marriott  International,  Inc.  The  acquisition  was
substantially funded by advances from HRP (the HRP loan).

         On August 22, 1995, the Company  received net proceeds of approximately
$199,000 and the  cancellation of an additional  $99,000 in indebtedness  due to
HRP from its IPO of 7,500,000  Shares and the concurrent  placement of 3,960,000
shares to HRP and 250,000 shares to HRPT  Advisors,  Inc. On September 18, 1995,
the Company received  additional net proceeds of approximately  $19,900 from the
sale of 850,000  Shares in  connection  with the  exercise of the  Underwriters'
over-allotment  option.  The proceeds were used to repay  remaining loan amounts
due to HRP and to acquire 16 additional hotel  properties  (together with the 21
properties  acquired on March 24,  1995,  the Initial  Hotels) and related  FF&E
reserves for $149,600. These properties are also leased to Host and managed
by  Marriott.  At  September  30,  1995  approximately  $1,944  is  due  to  HRP
representing costs and dividends related to HRP's ownership in the Company prior
to the IPO.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1995
                  (dollars in thousands, except per share data)
                                   (Unaudited)

         3.       Tax status

                  The  Company  is a real  estate  investment  trust  under  the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Accordingly, the Company expects not
to be subject to federal  income taxes on amounts  distributed  to  shareholders
provided it distributes at least 95% of its real estate investment trust taxable
income and meets  certain  other  requirements  for  qualifying as a real estate
investment trust.

         4.       Dividends

         The Trustees  declared a dividend on the Company's  Shares with respect
to the period  August 22, 1995 through  September  30, 1995,  of $.24 per share,
which will be paid on or about November 14, 1995, to  shareholders  of record at
the close of business on October 13, 1995.

         Dividends are based  principally  on cash  available  for  distribution
which is net income plus depreciation and amortization less FF&E reserve income.
Cash  available  for  distribution  may not  necessarily  equal cash provided by
operating  activities  as the cash  flow of the  Company  is  affected  by other
factors  not  included  in the  cash  available  for  distribution  calculation.
Dividends in excess of net income are a return of capital.

5.       Real estate properties

         The leases for the Initial  Hotels  provide for annual rent  payable to
the Company of $32,900 in base rent plus  percentage  rent equal to 5% increases
in total  hotel  sales over 1994 total  hotel  sales.  Host is  required  to pay
substantially  all operating costs of the  properties.  Host is also required to
deposit 5% of total hotel sales into the Company's  FF&E Reserve,  which will be
used to maintain the properties. The leases expire in December 2006. Thereafter,
Host has the option to renew for one seven year term and three  consecutive  ten
year terms. The security deposit equals a full year's base rent. The Company has
also purchased for $4,500 the option to purchase  and/or rights of first refusal
and rights of first  negotiation to acquire certain  additional  properties from
Host Marriott Corporation. The option agreement expires August 31, 2002.

6.       Indebtedness

         The Company has entered into a $200,000  revolving  credit  acquisition
facility which provides for borrowings at a spread over LIBOR. The facility will
mature on February 22, 1997, unless extended by the parties. As of September 30,
1995, the Company had not drawn on the credit facility.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
                      OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Overview

     Hospitality  Properties Trust (the "Company") owns 37 hotels,  acquired for
$329  million,  which are leased to a subsidiary  of Host  Marriott  Corporation
("Host")  and  are  managed  by a  subsidiary  of  Marriott  International  Inc.
("Marriott").  The annual rent payable to the Company  totals  $32.9  million in
base rent plus  percentage  rent equal to 5% of  increases  in total hotel sales
over 1994  levels.  In  addition,  5% of total  hotel  sales is  required  to be
escorted  periodically  by Host or  Marriott as a reserve  for  renovations  and
refurbishment's.  The 37 hotels are all Courtyard by Marriott(R)  hotels, have a
total of 5,286 guest  rooms,  are  located in 20 states,  have an average age of
approximately  five years and,  through the third  quarter of 1995,  had average
occupancy and an Average Daily Rate of 82.2% and $72.38 respectively.

Results of Operations

         The Company was organized on February 7, 1995,  commenced operations on
March 24,  1995 with the  acquisition  of the first 21 of its initial 37 hotels,
and completed its initial  public  offering of shares of beneficial  interest on
August 22,  1995.  The  Company has been  recently  formed and  accordingly  has
limited  historical   financial  data  available.   Management  believes  it  is
meaningful  and  relevant  to  an  understanding  of  its  present  and  ongoing
operations to discuss pro forma quarterly results as well as historical  results
of operations.

Quarter Ended September 30, 1995 - Historical Results

     Total  revenue for the quarter ended  September 30, 1995 was  $7,853,000 of
which base and percentage  rent  comprised  $6,268,000 and FF&E reserve rent was
$1,566,000.  Total  expenses  for the quarter  were  $4,230,000  which  consists
principally  of  interest  expense  and   depreciation  and  amortization   of
$1,840,000 and  $1,860,000,  respectively.  Net income was $3,623,000  ($.71 per
share). Funds from operations and cash available for distribution related to the
quarter  were  $5,483,000  ($1.07 per share) and  $3,917,000  ($.77 per  share).
Average  outstanding  common shares of beneficial  interest for the quarter were
5,115,000.
         The  Company was a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Health and  Retirement
Properties  Trust from the date of inception  until August 22, 1995, the date of
the Company's initial public offering.  Net income from inception through August
22, 1995, of $1,531,000 was distributed to HRP during the quarter.  Accordingly,
only earnings and cash flows from August 22, 1995 through September 30, 1995 are
available to the Company's current shareholders.  The Company bases its dividend
primarily  on  cash  available  for  distribution  which  is  net  income,  plus
depreciation and amortization less FF&E reserve. Cash available for distribution
may not necessarily equal cash provided by operating activities as the cash flow
of the Company is affected by other  factors not included in the cash  available

     for  distribution  calculation.  Net income for the period  from August 22,
1995 to  September  30,  1995 was  $2,829,000.  Funds from  operations  and cash
available  for  distribution  related to this period were  $3,888,000  ($.32 per

with the quarter ended  December 31, 1995 at the initial rate of $.55 per share,
or $2.20 per annum. Average outstanding common shares of beneficial interest for
this period were 12,600,000.

Quarter Ended September 30, 1995 - Pro Forma

         The following pro forma discussion  assumes that the Company's  initial
public offering, purchase of 16 additional hotels, repayment of HRP, exercise of
the underwriters' over-allotment option and related transactions had occurred as
of July 1, 1995.  Pro Forma total  revenues for the quarter ended  September 30,
1995 would have been  $10,110,000  and would have been comprised  principally of
pro forma base and  percentage  rent of  $8,347,000  and FF&E reserve  income of
$1,745,000.  Pro forma total expenses would have been  $3,072,000 and would have
been comprised of depreciation expense of $2,361,000 and general, administrative
and advisory fees of $711,000.  Pro forma net income would have been  $7,038,000
for $.56 per share.  Pro forma average  outstanding  common shares of beneficial
interest for the quarter were 12,600,000.

February 7, 1995 (inception) through September 30, 1995 - Historical

     Total  revenues for the period from  February 7, 1995 to September 30, 1995
were  $13,644,000.  Base and percentage  rental income was  $11,142,000 and FF&E
reserve  income  was  $2,460,000.  Total  expenses  for this  same  period  were
$9,284,000  which consists  principally of interest expense and depreciation and
amortization expense of $5,039,000 and $3,470,000,  respectively. Net income was
$4,360,000 or $2.15 per share.

         Funds  from  operations  were  $7,830,000  or  $3.86  per  share.  Cash
available for distribution was $5,370,000 or $2.65 per share. The average number
of shares outstanding for this period was 2,027,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of September 30, 1995 total assets of the Company were $336,899,000.

         At September  30,  1995,  the Company had  $1,360,000  of cash and cash
equivalents,  and the ability to borrow up to an additional  $200,000,000  under

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
                      OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - continued

The acquisition line matures on February 22, 1997. Currently, the Company has no
outstanding  indebtedness for borrowed money and an equity market capitalization
of approximately  $326 million.  As a result,  the Company believes it will have
access to various  types of  financing in addition to or in place of the current
acquisition  line,  including  debt or equity  securities  with which to finance
acquisitions and to otherwise meet its long term funding requirements.

         Pursuant to the terms of the lease and management  agreements,  Host or
Marriott is required to fund an FF&E reserve  account in amounts  equal to 5% of
Total Hotel Sales.  Funds  escrowed in the FF&E reserve  account will be used by
Marriott for capitalized  improvements,  replacements  and  refurbishment of the
hotels.  The Company believes that the FF&E Reserve will be adequate to maintain
the  competitiveness of its initial hotels. As of September 30, 1995, the amount
of the FF&E reserve for the hotels was approximately $5,450,000.

     The Company is actively pursuing acquisition opportunities to diversify and
expand its portfolio of hotel  properties  and expects to utilize  undistributed
cash generated from operations and funds available under its acquisition line or
other borrowings, if any, 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.
Current expenses and dividends are provided for by funds from operations.

Seasonality

     The  initial  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 presently  expected to cause  fluctuations  in the Company's
rental income  because the Company  believes that the revenues  generated by the
initial  hotels  will be  sufficient  for Host to pay rents on a  regular  basis
notwithstanding seasonal fluctuations.

Inflation

     The Company  believes  that  inflation  should not have a material  adverse
effect on the Company.  Although  increases in the rate of inflation may tend to
increase  interest  rates  which the  Company may be required to pay on borrowed
funds, the Company intends to implement a policy of obtaining interest rate caps
in  appropriate  circumstances  to protect it from interest rate  increases.  In
addition,  the  Leases  for  the  Initial  Hotels  provide  for the  payment  of
percentage  rent to the Company  based on  increases in total hotel sales of the
Initial Hotels and such rent should increase with inflation.
