HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(amounts 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 (the "Company") 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. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. 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. Operating results for interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year.

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("FAS 130")
and Statement No. 131 "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" ("FAS 131"). FAS 130 was required to be adopted for the Company's
1998 interim financial statements. FAS 131 must be adopted for the 1998 annual
financial statements. The adoption of FAS 130 had no impact on the Company's
financial condition or operating results because the Company has no items of
comprehensive income. FAS 131 is expected to have no impact on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Issue No. 98-9,
"Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods" ("EITF 98-9"). The
Company has adopted the provisions of EITF 98-9 prospectively as of May 21, 1998
(the date of the issuance of EITF 98-9). The prospective adoption had no
material effect on the quarter or six months ended June 30, 1998. If the Company
had elected to transition the adoption retroactively to January 1, 1998 for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 net income before extraordinary items and net
income would have been $40,243 ($.98/share) and $33,629 ($.82/share),
respectively, and for the three months ended June 30, 1998 net income before
extraordinary items and net income would have been $21,668 ($.51/share) and
$21,370 ($.50/share), respectively. Comparatively, for the six and three months
ended June 30, 1997 net income would have been $28,451 ($1.06/share) and $14,197
($.53/share), respectively.

EITF 98-9 is expected to have no impact on the Company's annual results of
operations, rather the accounting changes required by EITF 98-9 are expected to,
in general, defer recognition of certain percentage rental income from the
first, second and third quarters to the fourth quarter within a fiscal year.

Note 2. Shareholders' Equity

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company issued an aggregate of
3,942,413 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share
("Shares") to five unit investment trusts ("UIT"), raising net proceeds of
$127,746. The net proceeds from the UITs were used to repay amounts outstanding
under the Company's bank credit facility, acquire hotels and for general
business purposes.

In May 1998, the Company paid a $0.64 per share dividend to shareholders for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998. On July 7, 1998, the Trustees declared a dividend
of $0.65 per share to be paid to shareholders of record as of July 21, 1998,
which will be distributed on or about August 20, 1998.

The Company does not present diluted earnings per share because it has no
dilutive instruments.

Note 3. Real Estate Properties

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, subsidiaries of the Company purchased
fifteen Summerfield Suites(R) hotels, sixteen Candlewood(R) hotels, two
Residence Inn by Marriott(R) hotels and two Courtyard by Marriott(R) hotels for
approximately $419,000, paid for by draws under the Company's bank credit
facility, proceeds from the issuance of Shares to UITs, and cash on hand.
Subsequent to June 30, 1998, a subsidiary of the Company purchased one
Candlewood(R) hotel for $6,400 paid for with cash on hand.

Note 4. Indebtedness

During February 1998, the Company issued $150,000 of 7% senior unsecured notes
due 2008. Net proceeds to the Company of approximately $148,000 were used to
repay in full $125,000 of long term mortgage debt and for general business
purposes. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized an
extraordinary loss of $6,614 ($0.16 per share) from the write-off of deferred
financing costs. Also, a $1,402 charge is included in interest expense for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 and for the difference between the carrying
amount of an interest rate cap agreement and its market value at the time the
related debt was repaid.

In March 1998, the Company entered into a new unsecured revolving credit
facility ("the Credit Facility") of $250,000. In June, 1998, the Credit Facility
was syndicated to a group of commercial banks and expanded to $300,000. It
matures in 2002 and bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread based on the Company's
senior debt ratings. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants requiring
the Company, among other things, to maintain a debt to asset ratio (as defined)
of no more than 50% and meet certain debt service coverage ratios (as defined).
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had $142,000 outstanding under this Credit
Facility.

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations (amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 versus 1997

Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 increased 56.3% to $44,194
from $28,276 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Rental income increased 64.9%
to $40,430 from $24,513 during the comparable 1997 period. The increase
primarily is a result of the Company's investment in and leasing of hotels
acquired in 1997 and 1998. FF&E reserve income increased 1.1% to $3,642 from
$3,602 during the comparable 1997 period primarily as a result of increased
hotel sales at certain of the company's leased properties. Interest income
decreased from $161 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 to $122 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998, primarily as a result of a reduction in cash balances.

Total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 increased 61.2% to $21,524
from $13,350 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The increase is the result of
increases in depreciation and amortization, interest, and general and
administrative expenses of $6,013 (77.6%), $1,122 (27.8%) and $1,039 (66.3%),
respectively. Depreciation and amortization and general and administrative
expenses increased primarily as a result of new investments since April 1, 1997.
Interest expense increased primarily as a result of an increase in the average
daily balance of indebtedness outstanding.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 increased 49.9% to $22,372 ($0.53
per share) from $14,926 ($0.56 per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

Funds from operations (defined as net income before extraordinary and
non-recurring items plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets
plus those deposits made into FF&E Reserve escrows which are not included in
revenue) and cash available for distribution (defined as funds from operations
less FF&E Reserve plus amortization of deferred financing costs and other
non-cash charges) related to the quarter ended June 30, 1998 were $38,794 ($0.92
per share) and $33,331 ($0.79 per share), respectively, compared to funds from
operations and cash available for distribution of $23,711 ($0.88 per share) and
$19,592 ($0.73 per share), respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 versus 1997

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased to $81,564 from
$53,753 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Rental income increased to
$72,904 from $46,407 during the comparable period. The increase primarily is a
result of the Company's investment in and leasing of hotels acquired in 1997 and
1998. FF&E reserve income increased 5.4% to $7,460 from $7,081 during the
comparable 1997 period primarily as a result of increased hotel sales at certain
of the company's leased properties. Interest income increased from $265 for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 to $1,200 for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
as a result of additional cash on hand during the 1998 first quarter.

Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased to $39,340 from
$23,917 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase is the result of
increases in depreciation and amortization, interest, and general and
administrative expenses of $10,604 (73.0%), $3,065 (48.4%) and $1,754 (57.2%),
respectively. Depreciation and amortization and general and administrative
expenses increased primarily as a result of new investments since January 1,
1997. Interest expense increased primarily as a result of an increase in the
average daily balance of indebtedness outstanding.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased to $35,610 ($0.87
per share) from $29,836 ($1.11 per share) for the six months ended June 30,
1997. The increase is primarily a result of an increase in revenue from new
investments offset by the extraordinary ($.16 per share) loss recognized from
the extinguishment of debt and other charges described in Note 4 to the
financial statements.

Funds from operations and cash available for distribution related to the six
months ended June 30, 1998 were $72,511 ($1.76 per share) and $62,288 ($1.52 per
share), respectively, compared to funds from operations and cash available for
distribution of $46,391 ($1.73 per share) and $38,276 ($1.42 per share),
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

Total assets of the Company increased to $1,635,376 at June 30, 1998 from
$1,313,256 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase is primarily due
to new real estate acquisitions. During the six months ended June 30, 1998,
subsidiaries of the Company purchased fifteen Summerfield Suites(R) hotels,
sixteen Candlewood(R) hotels, two Residence Inn by Marriott(R) hotels and two
Courtyard by Marriott(R) hotels for approximately $419,000, paid for by draws
under the Company's bank credit facility, proceeds from the issuance of Shares
to UITs, and cash on hand.

As of June 30, 1998 the Company had commitments to acquire two additional hotels
from Marriott International, Inc. for an additional total investment of
approximately $23,393. The Company has also agreed to purchase 11 additional
Candlewood(R)hotels for $94,500. Subsequent to June 30, 1998, a subsidiary of
the Company purchased one Candlewood(R)hotel for $6,400 paid for with cash on
hand. The acquisition of the remaining hotels is expected to occur during the
remainder of 1998.

In March 1998, the Company entered into a new unsecured revolving credit
facility ("the Credit Facility") for $250,000. In June, 1998, the Credit
Facility was syndicated to a group of commercial banks and expanded to $300,000.
It matures in 2002 and bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread based on the
Company's senior debt ratings.

At June 30, 1998, the Company had $814 of cash and cash equivalents. As of June
30, 1998 the Company had $142,000 outstanding and the ability to draw up to an
additional $158,000 under the Credit Facility.

In February 1998, the Company issued $150,000 of 7% senior unsecured notes due
2008. Net proceeds to the Company of approximately $148,000 were used to repay
in full $125,000 of long term mortgage debt and for general business purposes.

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company issued an aggregate of
3,942,413 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share
("Shares") to five unit investment trusts ("UIT"), raising net proceeds of
$127,746. The net proceeds from the UITs were used to repay amounts outstanding
under the Company's bank credit facility, acquire hotels and for general
business purposes.

Funding for current expenses and dividends is provided for by operations and the
Company's operations are primarily comprised of leasing activity related to
owned properties.

The Company's 11 Wyndham Garden(R) hotels and one Wyndham(R) hotel are all
leased to subsidiaries of Patriot American Hospitality ("Patriot") and operated
by subsidiaries of Wyndham Hotel Corporation ("Wyndham"). Annual base rent on
these 12 properties totals $18,325 and percentage rent generally equals 8% of
increases in total hotel sales over base year levels. The 12 properties have a
total of 2,321 guest rooms and are located in eight states. During the first six
months of 1998 these hotels had average occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of 77.3%,
$98.82 and $76.38, respectively, versus 78.8%, $92.99 and $73.30, respectively,
for the comparable 1997 period. The lease for the Salt Lake City Hotel is
guaranteed by the parent entities of the tenant and the manager until operations
at this hotel cover an allocated amount of base rent according to a formula, and
this guaranty is secured by a cash deposit. These hotels are leased for an
initial term which ends in 2012 and has 4 renewal options of 12 years each.
Renewal options may be exercised by the tenant for all, but not less than all,
12 hotels.

In 1997, the Company acquired 10 Residence Inn by Marriott(R) hotels (1,276
suites) and four Courtyard by Marriott(R) hotels (543 rooms) from Marriott.
These hotels are leased to a subsidiary of Marriott International for annual
base rent of $14,881. The Company will begin receiving percentage rents and
renovation escrows after operations of these hotels are stabilized. Marriott has
guaranteed the lease payments until operations of these hotels are stabilized
and cover the base rent according to a formula. For the twenty-four weeks ended
June 19, 1998, these hotels had average occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR of 79.8%,
$84.64, and $67.53, respectively. Because these properties have an operating
history of less than one year on average a display of average occupancy, ADR and
RevPAR for the prior year comparative period for these properties is not
meaningful. These hotels are leased for an initial term which ends in 2014 and
has one renewal option of 12 years and one renewal option of 10 years. Renewal
options may be exercised by the tenant for all, but not less than all, 14
hotels. These hotels are located in 7 states in the United States.

In 1997, the Company agreed to acquire from Marriott six Courtyard by
Marriott(R) hotels (829 rooms) and three Residence Inn by Marriott(R) hotels
(507 suites). These hotels are leased to a subsidiary of Marriott International
for annual base rent of $12,940. The Company will begin receiving percentage
rents after operations of these hotels are stabilized. Marriott has guaranteed
the lease payments until operations of these hotels are stabilized and cover the
base rent according to a formula. As of July 31, 1998 seven of these hotels have
been acquired; the remaining two are expected to be acquired during the
remainder of 1998. The three properties which were open for the entire
twenty-four week ended June 19, 1998 had average occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of
70.9%, $96.14, and $68.17, respectively. Because these properties have an
operating history of less than six months on average, there are no comparative
operating results. These hotels are leased for an initial term which ends in
2010 and has 2 renewal options of 10 years each. Renewal options may be
exercised by the tenant for all, but not less than all, 9 hotels. These hotels
are located in 8 states in the United States.

In 1997, the Company acquired fourteen Sumner Suites(R) hotels (1,641 rooms)
from ShoLodge, Inc. ("ShoLodge"). These hotels are leased to a subsidiary of
ShoLodge for annual base rent of $14,000. The Company will begin receiving
percentage rent, in 1999, equal to 8% of increases in total sales over 1998
levels. For the twenty-eight weeks ended July 12, 1998, these hotels had average
occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR of 61.7%, $77.71 and $47.98, respectively. Twelve of
these hotels were open as of June 30, 1997. Because these properties have an
operating history of less than one year on average a display of average
occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR for the comparative period for these properties is
not meaningful. ShoLodge has guaranteed the lease payments until operations of
these hotels are stabilized and cover the base rent according to a formula, and
this guaranty is secured by a cash deposit. These hotels are leased for an
initial term which ends in 2008 and has 5 renewal options of 10 years each.
Renewal options may be exercised by the tenant for all, but not less than all,
14 hotels. These hotels are located in 8 states in the United States.

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

In 1997 and 1998, the Company acquired or made commitments for thirty-two
Candlewood(R) hotels (3,640 rooms) from Candlewood Hotel Company, Inc.
("Candlewood"). These hotels are leased in two groups, one of 15 hotels and one
of 17 hotels to subsidiaries of Candlewood for annual base rent of approximately
$10,000 and $14,100 respectively. The Company will begin receiving percentage
rent equal to 10% of total hotel sales over total sales generated in the hotels'
second year of operation. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 the fifteen
Candlewood hotels which were open as of January 1, 1998 had an average age of 11
months and average occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR of 70.1%, $55.40 and $38.81,
respectively. Because these properties have an operating history of less than
one year on average a display of average occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR for the
comparative period for these properties is not meaningful. Candlewood has
guaranteed the lease payments until operations of these hotels are stabilized
and cover the base rent according to a formula, and this guaranty is secured by
a cash deposit. The 15 hotels in the first group are leased for an initial term
which ends in 2011 and has 3 renewal options of 15 years each. Renewal options
may be exercised by the tenant for all, but not less than all, 15 hotels. These
hotels are located in 13 states in the United States. The 17 hotels in the
second group are leased for an initial term which ends in 2011 and has 3 renewal
options of 15 years each. Renewal options may be exercised by the tenant for
all, but not less than all, 17 hotels. These hotels are located in 13 states in
the United States.

In March 1998, the Company acquired 15 Summerfield Suites(R)hotels (1,822
suites, 2,766 rooms). These hotels are leased to subsidiaries of Patriot for
annual base rent of $25,000. The Company will begin receiving percentage rent,
in 1999, equal to 7.5% of increases in total hotel sales over 1998 levels.
During the first six months of 1998 these hotels had average occupancy, ADR, and
RevPAR of 81.8%, $122.00 and $99.78, respectively, versus 82.4%, $116.42 and
$95.88, respectively, for the comparable 1997 period. These hotels are leased
for an initial term which ends in 2015 and has 4 renewal options of 12 years
each. Renewal options may be exercised by the tenant for all, but not less than
all, 15 hotels. These hotels are located in 10 states in the United States.

All of the Company's 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 capitalized improvements and replacements to, and refurbishment of, the
hotels.

To maintain its status as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Company must meet certain
requirements including the distribution of at least 95% of its taxable income to
its shareholders. As a REIT, the Company expects not to be subject to federal
income taxes.

Dividends are based principally on cash available for distribution which is net
income 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.

Dividends with respect to the first quarter 1998 results of $.64 per share were
distributed on May 21, 1998. Dividends declared with respect to second quarter
1998 results of $0.65 per share will be paid to shareholders on or about August
20, 1998. Dividends for a year in excess of taxable income for that year
constitute return of capital.

Seasonality
Most of the Company's hotels experience seasonal variation in operating results
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 its
hotels will be sufficient to pay rents on a regular basis notwithstanding
seasonal fluctuations.

Year 2000
The Company is taking steps to minimize any adverse effect on the Company's
business operations from year 2000 issues. While the Company believes its
planning efforts are adequate to address year 2000 concerns, there can be no
guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Company relies for
certain data will be year 2000 compliant on a timely basis and will not have a
material effect on the Company. Costs related to the year 2000 issues are not
expected to be material to the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
