Hospitality Properties Trust

(1) All of our hotels are leased to or operated by third-parties; we do not operate hotels. As of June 30, 2003, 52 of our properties are leased to our taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, and operated by third parties under three agreements. One agreement includes 35 hotels, which as of June 30, 2003, includes 25 hotels operated by affiliates of Marriott International under long term management contracts and leased to our TRS. Payment obligations due to us for these 25 hotels are pooled with 10 other hotels that continue to be leased by Marriott International until it elects to operate them under the management agreement. Each of these 10 hotels are required to begin to be leased to our TRS and managed by Marriott prior to June 30, 2004. The hotels formerly leased to Marriott International which are now leased to our TRS generated net operating results that were $301 and $720 less than the minimum return due to us for the 2003 and 2002 second quarter, respectively, and $2,527 and $2,315 less than the minimum return due to us for the six months ended 2003 and 2002, respectively. These amounts were funded by Marriott and are reflected as a reduction in hotel operating expenses. On April 1, 2003, Wyndham International defaulted two of our leases for 27 hotels and we retained $33.3 million of security deposits previously paid us by Wyndham. In late April and early May, 2003, we replaced Wyndham as operator of these hotels, and all of these hotels began to be managed by third parties and leased to our TRS. We have recorded no revenue or expenses related to Wyndham's defaults or for the periods from these defaults to the dates Wyndham was replaced as operator of these 27 hotels, pending the outcome of discussions with Wyndham regarding claims which we have against Wyndham or which Wyndham may assert against us as a result of Wyndham's defaults or prior operations. The amounts in the following table include the net revenues over expenses for the 52 hotels leased to our TRS, including amounts after Wyndham was replaced as an operator of our hotels.

(2) Some of our leases with third parties provide that FF&E Reserve escrows are owned by us. Other leases with third parties provide that FF&E Reserve escrows are owned by the tenants and we have a security and remainder interest in the escrow accounts. When we own the escrow, at hotels leased to third parties, generally accepted accounting principles require that payments into the escrow be reported as additional rent. When we have a security and remainder interest in the escrow accounts, at hotels leased to third parties, deposits are not included in revenue but are included in FFO. CAD and EBITDA exclude all FF&E reserves.

(3) We compute FFO, CAD and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as shown in the calculations above. Our calculation of FFO differs from the NAREIT definition because we include FF&E deposits not included in net income (See footnote 2) and deferred percentage rent (See footnote 4) and exclude loss on early extinguishment of debt not settled in cash (See footnote 5). We consider FFO, CAD and EBITDA to be appropriate measures of performance or liquidity for a REIT, along with net income and cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities, because they provide investors with an indication of a REIT's operating performance and its ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures, pay distributions and fund other cash needs. FFO, CAD and EBITDA do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance or liquidity. FFO, CAD and EBITDA are three important factors considered by our board of trustees when determining the amount of distributions to shareholders. Other important factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our status as a REIT, limitations in our revolving bank credit facility and public debt covenants, the availability of debt and equity capital to us and our expectation of our future performance.

(4) We recognize 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 periods shown.

(5) Represents the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to early extinguishment of debt.

(6) Represents: the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and discounts, and stock based compensation and expenses settled in stock.
