(1) All of our hotels are leased to or operated by third-parties; HPT does not operate hotels. At various times during 2001 and 2002, 18 of our hotels, containing 2,602 rooms, began to be operated by Marriott International under a long-term management contract; most of these hotels were previously leased to Marriott. These hotels are now leased to a 100% subsidiary of ours, as allowed by the REIT Modernization Act which became effective in 2001. Although our long-term management contract with Marriott includes security features which are similar to those under our leases, after a property begins to be operated under a management contract rather than under a lease, our consolidated revenues include hotel sales rather than rental income and our expenses include hotel operating expenses. We have agreed to this new arrangement for a total of 35 hotels, containing 5,382 rooms and expect it to begin for the remaining 17 hotels from time to time prior to June 30, 2004. The amounts in the following table include the net revenues over expenses and FF&E escrows of the ten hotels which began to be leased to our subsidiary tenant June 15, 2001, 6 hotels which began to be leased to our subsidiary tenant September 7, 2001, and two hotels which began to be leased to our subsidiary tenant September 6, 2002. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002, $859 and $3,174, respectively, and in the 2001 periods $687 of hotel operating expenses were funded by Marriott and are reflected as a reduction in hotel operating expenses.

(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 HPT 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) HPT recognizes percentage rental income received for the first, second and third quarters in the fourth quarter. Although recognition of revenue is deferred for purposes of calculating net income, the calculations of FFO and CAD include amounts received with respect to the periods shown.
