(1) As previously announced, HPT's second quarter acquisition of four hotels from Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott") on June 15, 2001, involves the use, as allowed under the REIT Modernization Act effective January 1, 2001, of a tenant which is a 100% owned subsidiary of and consolidated with HPT. All four of these hotels, combined with 31 other hotels we own, are managed by Marriott. From time to time over the next year each of these 35 hotels will cease to be leased to a subsidiary of Marriott and begin to be leased to our subsidiary. This subsidiary tenant began to lease 10 hotels containing 1,626 rooms as of June 15, 2001 (including the four hotels acquired on June 15, 2001), and an additional six hotels containing 754 rooms as of September 7, 2001. The remaining 19 hotels will remain leased to a subsidiary of Marriott until a lease is begun by our subsidiary tenant. After a property begins to be leased to our subsidiary tenant, our consolidated revenues include hotel sales rather than rental income and our consolidated expenses include hotel operating expenses. The 16 hotels leased to HPT's subsidiary tenant, from June 15, 2001, through the end of the 2001 fourth quarter generated net revenues over expenses and FF&E escrows of:

                                        Fourth Quarter        YTD
        Hotel operating revenues          $ 17,338        $  37,982
        Less:  Hotel operating expenses     10,446           24,375
        Less:  FF&E Reserve escrows            870            1,888

        Net                               $  6,022        $  11,719

(2) Some of the HPT leases provide that FF&E Reserve escrows are owned by HPT. Other leases provide that FF&E Reserve escrows are owned by the tenant and the Company has a security and remainder interest in the escrow account. When HPT owns the escrow, generally accepted accounting principles require that payments into the escrow be reported as additional rent. When HPT has a security and remainder interest in the escrow account, deposits are not included in revenue but are included in FFO. CAD excludes all FF&E Reserves.

(3) The Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 generally requires the Company to recognize percentage rental income received for the first, second and third quarters in the fourth quarter. Although recognition of revenue was deferred until the fourth quarter of each year presented for purposes of calculating net income, the calculations of FFO and CAD included these amounts during the first three quarters.
