   common shareholders            $0.16     $0.11     $0.46     $0.45

  Funds from operations (B)       $0.32     $0.31     $0.96     $0.95

(A) HRPT accounts for its common share investments in SNH and HPT
    using the GAAP equity method of accounting. Accordingly, HRPT
    recognized losses of $1.4 million and $5.6 million during the nine
    months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, reflecting
    the issuance of shares by SNH at a price below HRPT's per share
    carrying value.

(B) HRPT computes FFO as net income available for common shareholders,
    adjusted for its pro rata share of FFO of HPT and SNH, and
    excluding depreciation, gains on sales of properties and
    extraordinary and non-recurring items. HRPT considers FFO to be an
    appropriate measure of performance for a REIT, along with cash
    flow from operating activities, financing activities and investing
    activities, because it provides investors with an indication of an
    equity REIT's operating performance and its ability to incur and
    service debt, make capital expenditures, pay distributions and
    fund other cash needs. HRPT's method of computing FFO may not be
    comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that define the term
    differently. HRPT's FFO is an important factor considered by
    HRPT's Board of Trustees in determining the amount of
    distributions to shareholders. FFO does not represent cash
    generated by operating activities in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles, or 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.
