Investing Activities:

On May 30, 2007, HPT acquired 40 travel centers from Petro Stopping Centers Holdings, L.P. for approximately $655 million including closing costs.

Subsequent Event:

On July 26, 2007, HPT sold 18 Homestead Studio Suites hotels for approximately $205 million. Net proceeds from this sale were used to reduce amounts outstanding under HPT's revolving credit facility. HPT expects to recognize a gain on this sale of approximately $95 million in the 2007 third quarter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME AND FUNDS FROM
OPERATIONS

(in thousands, except per share data)

(1) At June 30, 2007, each of our 310 hotels are included in one of eleven combinations of hotels of which 201 are leased to our taxable REIT subsidiaries and managed by independent hotel operating companies and 109 are leased to third parties. Our 186 travel centers are leased under two agreements. Our consolidated statement of income includes hotel operating revenues and expenses of managed hotels and rental income from our leased hotels and travel centers.

(2) Various percentages of total sales at most of our hotels are escrowed as reserves for future renovations or refurbishment, or FF&E Reserve escrows. We own the FF&E Reserve escrows for all the hotels leased to our taxable REIT subsidiaries and for most of the hotels leased to third parties. We have a security and remainder interest in the FF&E Reserve escrows for the remaining hotels leased to third parties. When we own the FF&E Reserve escrows at hotels leased to third parties we report payments into the escrow as additional rent. When we have a security and remainder interest in the FF&E Reserve escrows, deposits are not included in revenue but are included in FFO. We do not report the amounts which are escrowed as FF&E reserves for our managed hotels as FF&E reserve income in our consolidated statement of income.

(3) During the first quarter of 2007, we expensed $2,711 of costs in connection with the spin off of our former subsidiary, TravelCenters of America LLC, or TA, to our shareholders on January 31, 2007.

(4) We compute FFO as shown. Our calculation of FFO differs from the NAREIT definition because we include FF&E deposits not included in net income (see note 2), deferred percentage rent (see note 5) and deferred additional returns (see note 6) and exclude TA spin off costs (see note 3). We consider FFO to be an appropriate measure of performance for a REIT, along with net income and cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities. We believe that FFO provides useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical costs, such as depreciation expense, it may facilitate comparison of operating performance among REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance or liquidity. FFO is among the 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 credit facility and public debt covenants, the availability of debt and equity capital to us and our expectation of our future capital needs and operating performance.

(5) In calculating net income we recognize percentage rental income received for the first, second and third quarters in the fourth quarter, which is when all contingencies are met and the income is earned. Although we defer recognition of this revenue until the fourth quarter for purposes of calculating net income, we include the amount in the calculation of FFO for each quarter of the year. The fourth quarter FFO calculation excludes the amounts recognized during the first three quarters.

(6) Our share of the operating results of our managed hotels in excess of the minimum returns due to us, or additional returns, are generally determined based upon annual calculations. In calculating net income we recognize additional returns in the fourth quarter, which is when all contingencies are met and the income is earned. Although we defer recognition of this income until the fourth quarter for purposes of calculating net income, we include the amount in the calculation of FFO for each quarter of the year. The fourth quarter FFO calculation excludes the amounts recognized during the first three quarters.
