RMR Real Estate Income Fund
June 30, 2009

To our shareholders,

In June 2009, shareholders of RMR Real Estate Fund, RMR Hospitality and Real Estate Fund, RMR F.I.R.E. Fund, RMR Preferred Dividend Fund and RMR Dividend Capture Fund voted to reorganize their funds into RMR Real Estate Income Fund (the "Fund"). These reorganizations began on June 17, 2009 and were completed on June 23, 2009 and, following the reorganizations, the Fund assumed the accounting and performance history of RMR Real Estate Fund for periods prior to June 17, 2009. In the pages that follow, you will find data summarizing the Fund's financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and our financial position as of June 30, 2009.

Relevant Market Conditions

Real Estate Industry Fundamentals.    Throughout most of 2008, commercial real estate operating fundamentals held up relatively well. Late in 2008, however, fundamentals started to weaken and continued to deteriorate at a more rapid pace during the first half of 2009. Since the current recession officially started in December 2007, the economy has lost close to 6 million jobs. In addition, consumer spending, which typically accounts for almost two thirds of the U.S. economy, has significantly declined.

Lower corporate earnings, lower consumer spending and slower global trade have resulted in higher vacancy rates and lower rents for commercial real estate across most property types and geographic regions. This slowdown in economic activity has forced many real estate investment trusts ("REITs") to lower or discontinue distributions on their common equity securities in an effort to conserve cash to pay down debt. So far this year, approximately 50% of publicly traded REITs have either lowered or suspended dividends.

Despite recent improved liquidity in the credit markets, capital availability remained severely constrained during the first half of 2009. Real estate operating fundamentals seemed less important to REIT investors during the first quarter of the year as investors focused more on the ability of REITs to address upcoming debt maturities. As the REIT market rebounded sharply from its lows in early March, REITs took advantage of the run up in their share prices to raise equity capital, pay down debt and eliminate the market's perception of potential insolvencies in the sector. Approximately $13 billion of equity capital has been raised in the REIT sector since mid-March. Those REITs that raised equity significantly improved their balance sheet position and risk profiles. However, issuances of equity capital also have been dilutive to REIT shareholders and, in many cases, have significantly reduced expectations for future income per share and share price increases.

Real Estate Industry Technicals.    The REIT market continued to exhibit high volatility during the first half of the year. The REIT market reached a bottom in the first week of March, down 43%, on continued economic weakness and concerns of possible bank nationalizations in the U.S. Positive earnings comments in late March from major U.S. banks and better than expected economic numbers helped spark a twelve week rally in the equity markets. During this period, REITs improved 64% from their March lows and were up 30% during the second quarter. REITs finished the first half of the year down 12% from December 31, 2008.

Fund Strategies, Techniques and Performance

Our primary investment objective is to earn and pay a high level of current income to our common shareholders by investing in real estate companies, including REITs. Our secondary investment objective is capital appreciation. There can be no assurances that we will meet our investment objectives.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our total return on net asset value, or NAV (including NAV changes and assuming a hypothetical reinvestment of distributions at NAV), was negative 4.8%. During that same period, the total return for the MSCI U.S. REIT Total Return Index (an unmanaged index of REIT common stocks) was negative 12.4% and the total return for the Merrill Lynch REIT Preferred Index (an unmanaged index of REIT preferred stocks) was 14.8%. The S&P 500 Index (an unmanaged index published as Standard and Poor's Composite Index of 500 common stocks) total return for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 3.2%. In periods subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Fund plans to report only one broad based securities market index, the MSCI U.S. REIT Total Return Index. The Fund plans to discontinue reporting the Merrill Lynch REIT Preferred Index and the S&P 500 Index because it believes these indices are widely available to investors and do not provide information that is helpful in understanding the Fund's performance.

The Fund's outperformance versus the MSCI U.S. REIT Total Return Index during the first half of 2009 was due to a higher concentration of REIT preferred securities in the Fund versus in the Index. More specifically, our investment allocation to hotel and retail REIT preferred stocks contributed positively to the Fund's performance because REIT preferred securities in these sectors substantially outperfomed the market during the second quarter of the year.

Thank you for your continued support. For more information, please view our website, at www.rmrfunds.com.

Adam D. Portnoy

RMR Real Estate Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2009 (unaudited)

Note A

(1)   Organization

RMR Real Estate Income Fund (the "Fund") was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 19, 2008, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified closed end management investment company. The Fund had no operations prior to June 17, 2009, other than matters relating to the Fund's establishment, registration of the Fund's common shares and preferred shares under the Securities Act of 1933, and the sale of a total of 5,000 Fund common shares for $100,000 to RMR Advisors, Inc. On June 17, 2009, the Fund completed a 4:1 reverse stock split immediately prior to the reorganization of RMR Real Estate Fund (RMR) with the Fund. Each of RMR, RMR Hospitality and Real Estate Fund (RHR), RMR F.I.R.E. Fund (RFR), RMR Preferred Dividend Fund (RDR) and RMR Dividend Capture Fund (RCR) reorganized with the Fund at separate dates during the period from June 17, 2009 to June 23, 2009. See Note E for a complete description of the reorganizations.

(2)   Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying June 30, 2009 financial statements have been prepared without audit. The Fund believes that disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of the Fund's management, all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The Fund's operating results for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected on an annual basis for this year or for any future years. In preparing these financial statements, the Fund evaluated events that occurred through August 19, 2009, the date of issuance of these financial statements, for potential recognition or disclosure.

(3)   Use of Estimates

Preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Fund's management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. The actual results could differ from these estimates particularly for reasons described in Note A (8), and for other reasons.

(4)   Portfolio Valuation

Investment securities of the Fund are valued at the latest sales price whenever that price is readily available on that day; securities for which no sales were reported on that day, unless otherwise noted, are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask prices on that day. Securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market, or NASDAQ, are normally valued by the Fund at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, or NOCP, provided by NASDAQ each business day. The NOCP is the most recently reported price as of 4:00:02 p.m., eastern time, unless that price is outside the range of the "inside" bid and asked prices (i.e., the bid and asked prices that dealers quote to each other when trading for their own accounts); in that case, NASDAQ will adjust the price to equal the inside bid or asked price, whichever is closer. Some fixed income securities may be valued using pricing provided by a pricing service. Any of the Fund's securities which are not readily marketable, which are not traded or which have other characteristics of illiquidity are valued by the Fund at fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Fund's board of trustees. Numerous factors may be considered when determining fair value of a security, including cost at date of purchase, type of security, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and whether the issuer of the

16

RMR Real Estate Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

June 30, 2009 (unaudited)

security being fair valued has other securities of the same type outstanding. Short term debt securities with less than 60 days until maturity may be valued at cost plus interest accrued, which approximates market value.

(5)   Fair Value Measurements

The Fund reports the value of its securities at their fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. The Fund uses a three tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk; for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs used to prepare these financial statements is summarized below:

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

•

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.).

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2009 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The Fund utilized broker quotes, issuer company financial information and other market indicators to value the securities whose prices were not readily available.

(6)   Securities Transactions and Investment Income

The Fund records securities transactions on a trade date basis, dividend income on the ex-dividend date and any non-cash dividends at the fair market value of the securities received. The Fund uses the accrual method for recording interest income, including accretion of original issue discount, where applicable, and accretion of discount on short term investments and identified cost basis for realized gains and losses from securities transactions.

18

RMR Real Estate Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

June 30, 2009 (unaudited)

(7)   Taxes

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify in the future as a "regulated investment company" and to comply with the applicable provisions of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, so that it will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. However, the Fund may be subject to a 4% excise tax to the extent the Fund does not distribute substantially all taxable earnings each year.

Some foreign governments may subject the Fund's investment income and securities sales to withholding or other taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, $420 of foreign taxes have been withheld from distributions to the Fund and recorded as a reduction of dividend income.

At June 30, 2009, the Fund did not have any uncertain tax positions. Each of the tax years in the three year period ended December 31, 2008, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund did not incur any tax related interest or penalties.

(8)   Distributable Earnings

The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of the Fund to pay a level distribution amount to common shareholders on a quarterly basis for the three month periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 if, when and in such amounts as may be determined by the Fund's board of trustees in its discretion in light of such factors as may be considered by the board of trustees, which may or may not include market and economic conditions and subject to compliance with applicable law, the Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, the Fund's bylaws and other objectives. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund's distributions may consist of ordinary income (net investment income and short term capital gains), long term capital gains and return of capital. To the extent the Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carry forwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains. Distributions to preferred shareholders are determined as described in Note D.

The Fund has substantial investments in real estate investment trusts, or REITs, which are generally not subject to U.S. federal income taxes. Distributions that the Fund receives from REITs can be classified as ordinary income, capital gain income or return of capital by the REITs that make these distributions to the Fund. However, it is not possible to characterize distributions received from REITs during interim periods because the REIT issuers do not report their tax characterizations until subsequent to year end. Final characterization of the Fund's 2009 distributions to shareholders is also dependent upon the magnitude or timing of the Fund's securities transactions prior to year end. Therefore it is likely that some portion of the Fund's 2009 investment income and distributions to shareholders will be recharacterized as long term capital gain and return of capital for financial statement and U.S. federal income tax purposes subsequent to year end and reflected accordingly in the Fund's year end financial statements.

RMR Real Estate Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

June 30, 2009 (unaudited)

Although subject to adjustments, the cost, gross unrealized appreciation and unrealized depreciation of the Fund's investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of June 30, 2009, are as follows:

Cost	$	107,154,079
Gross unrealized appreciation	$	1,501,554
Gross unrealized depreciation		(50,855,469	)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)	$	(49,353,915	)

(9)   Concentration of Risk

Under normal market conditions, the Fund's investments are concentrated in income producing common shares, preferred shares and debt securities, including convertible preferred and debt securities, issued by real estate companies and REITs. The value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than the shares of a fund not concentrated in the real estate industry due to economic, legal, regulatory, technological or other developments affecting the United States real estate industry.

Note B

Advisory and Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund has an investment advisory agreement with RMR Advisors, Inc., or RMR Advisors, to provide the Fund with a continuous investment program, to make day to day investment decisions and to generally manage the business affairs of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and policies. Pursuant to the agreement, RMR Advisors is compensated at an annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund's average daily managed assets. Managed assets means the total assets of the Fund less liabilities other than any indebtedness entered into for purposes of leverage. For purposes of calculating managed assets, the liquidation preference of preferred shares is not considered a liability. The Fund incurred advisory fees of $136,723 during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

RMR Advisors also performs administrative functions for the Fund pursuant to an administration agreement with the Fund. RMR Advisors has entered into a subadministration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, or State Street, to perform substantially all fund accounting and other administrative services. Under the administration agreement, RMR Advisors is entitled to reimbursement of the cost of providing administrative services. The Fund reimbursed RMR Advisors $47,109 for subadministrative fees charged by State Street for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Each trustee who is not a director, officer or employee of RMR Advisors, and who is not an "interested person" of the Fund as defined under the 1940 Act, is considered to be a "disinterested trustee". Disinterested trustees are each paid by the Fund an annual fee plus attendance fees for board and committee meetings. The Fund incurred $3,446 of trustee fees and expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The Fund's board of trustees, and separately the disinterested trustees, authorized the Fund to make reimbursement payments to RMR Advisors for costs related to the Fund's compliance and internal audit programs. The Fund incurred $31,822 of compliance and internal audit expense during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Fund also participates in pooled insurance programs with RMR Advisors and another

fund managed by RMR Advisors and makes payments of allocated portions of related premiums. The Fund incurred $14,211 of allocated insurance expense during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Note C

Securities Transactions

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, there were purchases and sales transactions (excluding short term securities) of $11,967,812 and $11,330,900 respectively. Brokerage commissions on securities transactions amounted to $29,935 during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Note D

Preferred Shares

On June 17, 2009, in connection with the reorganization of the Fund with RMR, the Fund issued 438 Series T auction preferred shares with a total liquidation preference of $10,950,000. On June 18, 2009, in connection with reorganization of the Fund with RFR, the Fund issued 47 Series W auction preferred shares with a total liquidation preference of $1,175,000. On June 19, 2009, in connection with the reorganization of the Fund with RHR, the Fund issued 91 Series Th auction preferred shares with a total liquidation preference of $2,275,000. On June 22, 2009, in connection with the reorganization of the Fund with RCR, the Fund issued 27 Series F auction preferred shares with a total liquidation preference of $675,000. On June 23, 2009, in connection with the reorganization of the Fund with RDR, the Fund issued 64 Series M auction preferred shares with a total liquidation preference of $1,600,000. The preferred shares are senior to the Fund's common shares and rank on parity with each other class or series of preferred shares of the Fund as to the payment of periodic distributions, including distribution of assets upon liquidation. If the Fund does not timely cure a failure to (1) maintain asset coverage for the preferred shares as required by certain rating agencies rating the Fund's preferred shares, or (2) maintain "asset coverage", as defined in the 1940 Act, of at least 200%, the preferred shares will be subject to redemption in an amount equal to their liquidation preference plus accumulated but unpaid distributions. The holders of the preferred shares have voting rights equal to the holders of the Fund's common shares and generally vote together with the holders of the common shares as a single class. Holders of the preferred shares, voting as a separate class, also are entitled to elect two of the Fund's trustees. The Fund pays distributions on the preferred shares at a rate set at auctions held for each class of preferred shares generally every seven days. Distributions are generally payable every seven days, on the first business day following the end of a distribution period. The preferred share distribution rates were 1.74%, 1.74%, 1.74%, 1.74% and 2.20% per annum for Series M, T, W, Th and F, respectively, as of June 30, 2009.

To date, no auctions for preferred securities of the Fund have failed to attract sufficient clearing bids (such auctions are commonly referred to as "failed" auctions). However, RBC Capital Markets Corporation, an affiliate of the Fund's lead broker dealer for its preferred securities, has acquired for its own account a substantial portion of the Fund's preferred securities in the auctions, and may ultimately come to own for its own account all or substantially all of such preferred securities. According to the Royal Bank of Canada's (the parent company of RBC Capital Markets Corporation) Schedule 13G filing, dated as of June 30, 2009, it owned 26.6% of Series M, 52.3% of Series T, 21.3% of Series W and 18.5% of Series F issued and

21

Notes to Financial Statements – continued

June 30, 2009 (unaudited)

outstanding preferred shares. If RBC Capital Markets Corporation had not been a purchaser of preferred securities in the Fund's auctions, the auctions likely would have failed and holders of the Fund's preferred shares would not have been able to sell their preferred shares in the auctions. There can be no assurance that RBC Capital Markets Corporation or any other of its affiliates will purchase Fund preferred shares in any future auction of Fund preferred securities, or that the Fund will not have any auction for its preferred securities fail. If an auction of the Fund's preferred shares should fail, the dividend rate for the next succeeding dividend period is set according to a pre-determined formula, and the resulting rate may be higher than the rate which the Fund would otherwise pay as a result of a successful auction. In addition, if an auction fails, holders of the Fund's preferred shares may not be able to sell their preferred shares in that auction. If auctions for the Fund's preferred shares fail, or if market conditions generally frustrate the Fund's ability to enhance investment results through the investment of capital attributable to its outstanding preferred shares, such factors may precipitate a change in the form and/or amount of investment leverage used by the Fund.

The Fund proactively manages compliance with asset coverage and other financial ratio requirements applicable to the preferred shares. In order to facilitate compliance with such requirements, and without further notice of its intention to do so, the Fund may from time to time purchase or otherwise acquire its outstanding preferred shares in the open market, in other nondiscriminatory secondary market transactions, pursuant to tender offers or other offers to repurchase preferred shares, or in other permissible purchase transactions, and also may from time to time call or redeem preferred shares in accordance with their terms.

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund
June 30, 2009

To our shareholders,

In June 2009, shareholders of Old RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund and RMR Asia Real Estate Fund voted to reorganize their funds into RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund ("the Fund"). These reorganizations were completed on June 16, 2009 and, following the reorganizations, the Fund assumed the accounting and performance history of Old RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund for periods prior to June 16, 2009. In the pages that follow, you will find data summarizing the Fund's financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and our financial position as of June 30, 2009.

Relevant Market Conditions

Real Estate Industry Fundamentals.    During the first half of 2009, rental rates in the office sector declined and vacancy rates increased in the key Asian financial centers of Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo due to a decline in commercial activity and employment levels. The employment declines also have resulted in less disposable income and less retail expenditures, which has generally lowered the value of retail real estate. In the industrial real estate sector, slowing GDP and trade growth has limited industrial space demand. Residential real estate prices have softened as buyers withhold purchases because of general economic uncertainty. However, the long term demand for residential real estate across Asia remains strong because of favorable demographic trends and a high savings rates; and the demand for residential real estate has recently improved in China and Hong Kong. For the remainder of 2009, we expect the deterioration of commercial real estate fundamentals in the Asia Pacific region to slow as global economic conditions begin to demonstrate some signs of stabilization.

While Asian GDP has slowed in 2009, the Asian region continues to demonstrate superior GDP growth relative to the rest of the world, led by China and India. The International Monetary Fund expects 5.5% GDP growth for the developing Asian countries in 2009, compared to a decline of 1.4% expected in world GDP.

Real Estate Industry Technicals.    We cautiously anticipate demand for real estate investments in the Asia Pacific region to increase as an improved outlook of the world economy emerges and credit availability begins to improve in the second half of 2009. The number of REITs in the region continues to grow, with the Philippines and India currently considering new REIT legislation.

Fund Strategies, Techniques and Performance

Our primary investment objective is capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that we will achieve our investment objective.

26

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our total return on net asset value, or NAV, was 14.7%. During that same period, the total return for the EPRA NAREIT Asia Total Return Index (an unmanaged index of Asia Pacific real estate common stocks) was 24.7%. We believe this index is relevant to us because all our investments as of June 30, 2009, excluding short term investments, were in securities of real estate companies in countries covered by this index. The S&P 500 Index (an unmanaged index published as Standard and Poor's Composite Index of 500 common stocks) total return for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 3.2%. In periods subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Fund plans to report only one broad based securities market index, the EPRA NAREIT Asia Total Return Index. The Fund plans to discontinue reporting the S&P 500 Index because it believes this index is widely available to investors and does not provide information that is helpful in understanding the Fund's performance.

The Fund underperformed the EPRA NAREIT Asia Total Return Index over this period due to the significant upswing in the Asia Pacific equity markets, which saw a number of lesser quality real estate companies and REITs that the Fund did not hold experience large price increases after a period of significant underperformance.

Thank you for your continued support. For more information, please view our website, at www.rmrfunds.com.

Sincerely,

Adam D. Portnoy
President

Portfolio Management Changes

On July 13, 2009, Craig Dunstan, co-portfolio manager for the Fund, resigned from MacarthurCook Investment Managers Limited ("MacarthurCook"), the Fund's investment subadvisor. Mr. Dunstan's resignation was a result of the recent change in control of MacarthurCook described in Note B to the enclosed financial statements. Mr. Dunstan's resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Fund or any impropriety on the part of MacarthurCook or Mr. Dunstan. Roberto Versace remains a portfolio manager for the Fund and, as of August 19, 2009, no other portfolio manager has replaced Mr. Dunstan. Mr. Versace is now the sole portfolio manager. Mr. Versace has been a Fund Manager at MacarthurCook Limited, the sole owner of MacarthurCook, since July 2007.

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund
Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2009 (unaudited)

Note A

(1)   Organization

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund, or the Fund, was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 17, 2008, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, as a non-diversified closed end management investment company. The Fund had no operations prior to June 16, 2009, other than matters relating to the Fund's establishment, registration of the Fund's common shares under the Securities Act of 1933, and the sale of a total of 5,000 Fund common shares for $100,000 to RMR Advisors, Inc. On June 16, 2009, the Fund completed a 1.5:1 reverse stock split immediately prior to the reorganization of each of Old RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund (Old RAP) and RMR Asia Real Estate Fund (RAF) with the Fund on June 16, 2009. See Note D for a complete description of the reorganizations.

(2)   Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying June 30, 2009 financial statements have been prepared without audit. The Fund believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of the Fund's management, all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The Fund's operating results for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected on an annual basis for this year or for any future year. In preparing these financial statements, the Fund evaluated events that occurred through August 19, 2009, the date of issuance of these financial statements, for potential recognition or disclosure.

(3)   Use of Estimates

Preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Fund's management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. The actual results could differ from these estimates.

(4)   Portfolio Valuation

Investment securities of the Fund are valued at the latest sales price reflected on the consolidated tape of the exchange that reflects the principal market for such securities whenever that price is readily available on that day; securities for which no sales were reported on that day, unless otherwise noted, are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask prices on that day. Any of the Fund's securities which are not readily marketable, which are not traded or which have other characteristics of illiquidity are valued by the Fund at fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Fund's board of trustees. Numerous factors may be considered when determining fair value of a security, including cost at date of purchase, type of security, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities of the same type outstanding. Short term debt securities with less than 60 days until maturity may be valued at cost plus interest accrued, which approximates market value.

Some foreign markets close before the close of customary trading sessions on NYSE Amex (usually 4:00 p.m. eastern time). Often, events occur after the principal foreign exchange on which foreign securities trade has closed, but before the NYSE Amex closes, that the Fund determines could affect the value of the foreign securities the Fund owns or cause their earlier trading prices to be unreliable as a basis for determining value.

35

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

June 30, 2009 (unaudited)

If these events are expected to materially affect the Fund's net asset value, or NAV, the prices of such securities are adjusted to reflect their estimated fair value as of the close of the NYSE Amex, as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Fund's board of trustees.

(5)   Fair Value Measurements

The Fund reports the value of its securities at their fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. The Fund uses a three tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk; for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs used to prepare these financial statements is summarized below:

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

•

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.).

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2009 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. When the S&P 500 Index (an unmanaged index published as Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 common stocks) fluctuates significantly from the previous day close, the Fund believes that the closing price of foreign securities on the principal foreign exchange on which they trade may no longer represent the fair value of these securities at the time the U.S. market closes and the Fund fair values its investment securities. Accordingly, in such circumstances, the Fund reports holdings in its foreign securities at their fair values as determined by an independent security pricing service. The service uses a multi-factor model that includes such information as the security's local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depository receipts and futures, as applicable. The model generates an adjustment factor for each security that is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing events, resulting in the security's reported fair value.

There were no investments in securities characterized as Level 3 as of December 31, 2008 or June 30, 2009.

(6)   Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including accretion of original issue discount, where applicable, and accretion of discount on short term investments, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

(7)   Taxes

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify in the future as a "regulated investment company" and to comply with the applicable provisions of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, so that it will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. However, the Fund may be subject to a 4% excise tax to the extent the Fund does not distribute substantially all taxable earnings each year.

Some Asia Pacific governments may subject the Fund's investment income and securities sales to withholding or other taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, $29,102 of foreign taxes have been withheld from distributions to the Fund and recorded as a reduction of dividend income.

37

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

June 30, 2009 (unaudited)

At June 30, 2009, the Fund did not have any uncertain tax positions. Each of the tax years in the three year period ended December 31, 2008, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund did not incur any tax related interest or penalties.

(8)   Distributable Earnings

The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of the Fund to make distributions of its income at least annually in amounts at least equal to the amount necessary to maintain its status as a regulated investment company. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund's distributions may consist of ordinary income (net investment income and short term capital gains), long term capital gains and return of capital. To the extent the Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carry forwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains.

Although subject to adjustments, the cost, gross unrealized appreciation and unrealized depreciation of the Fund's investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of June 30, 2009, are as follows:

Cost	$	77,835,710
Gross unrealized appreciation	$	4,767,663
Gross unrealized depreciation		(14,245,812	)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)	$	(9,478,149	)

(9)   Concentration of Risk

Under normal market conditions, the Fund's investments are concentrated in common shares, preferred shares and debt securities, including convertible preferred and debt securities and warrants to purchase equity securities, issued by Asia Pacific real estate companies and real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). The value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than the shares of a fund not concentrated in the real estate industry or in the Asia Pacific region due to economic, legal, regulatory, technological or other developments affecting the Asia Pacific real estate industry and securities market.

(10) Foreign Securities Risk

As compared to U.S. securities, foreign securities may be issued by companies which provide less financial and other information, and which are subject to less developed and difficult to access legal systems, less stringent accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or different governmental regulations. As compared to U.S. securities markets, foreign securities markets may have different settlement procedures, may have higher transaction costs, may be conducted in a less regulated manner, are generally smaller and may be less liquid and more volatile than securities markets in the U.S. The value of foreign securities may also decline or be unstable because of political, social or economic events or instability outside of the U.S.

(11) Foreign Currency Transactions

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective transaction dates.

38

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

June 30, 2009 (unaudited)

The Fund does not isolate the portion of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of investments. Such fluctuations are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represents net foreign currency gain (loss) from forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gain (loss) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency appreciation/(depreciation) arises from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in exchange rates.

Note B

Advisory, Subadvisory and Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund has an investment advisory agreement with RMR Advisors, Inc., or RMR Advisors, to provide the Fund with a continuous investment program, oversee the subadvisor and generally manage the business affairs of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and policies. Pursuant to the agreement, RMR Advisors is compensated at an annual rate of 1% of the Fund's average daily managed assets.

RMR Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its annual fee equal to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily managed assets until May 25, 2012. The Fund incurred net advisory fees of $71,169 during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The amount of fees waived by RMR Advisors was $23,723 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The Fund and RMR Advisors have entered into a subadvisory agreement with MacarthurCook Investment Managers Ltd., or MacarthurCook, a subsidiary of MacarthurCook Limited ("MCK") to make day to day investment decisions and to generally manage the business affairs of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and policies. Pursuant to the agreement, RMR Advisors, and not the Fund, pays the subadvisor a monthly fee equal to an annual rate of 0.375% of the Fund's average daily managed assets. MacarthurCook has agreed to waive a portion of the fee payable by RMR Advisors such that until May 25, 2012, the fee payable will be equal to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily managed assets.

On July 1, 2009, the Fund and RMR Advisors entered into an interim investment subadvisory agreement with MacarthurCook (the "Interim Agreement") as a result of a change in control of MacarthurCook as defined in the 1940 Act. Pursuant to a tender offer commenced by AIMS Securities Holdings Pty Ltd ("AIMS") for all of MCK's outstanding shares, AIMS acquired more than 25% of MCK's outstanding shares and caused the existing subadvisory agreement to undergo an "assignment" for purposes of the 1940 Act. This "assignment" caused the automatic termination of the existing subadvisory agreement in accordance with its terms and applicable provisions of the 1940 Act. The Interim Agreement was amended and restated on July 16, 2009. The Interim Agreement is intended to avoid any interruption in portfolio management services to the Fund until the Fund's board of trustees can obtain additional information with respect to AIMS' tender offer and its impact on MCK. The Interim Agreement is identical in all material respects to the existing agreement, including the amount of the compensation to be paid to MacarthurCook, except that (i) the Interim Agreement will continue until the earlier of November 23, 2009 or the effective date of a new investment subadvisory agreement, if any, approved by the Fund's shareholders; (ii) the Interim Agreement

39

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

June 30, 2009 (unaudited)

may be terminated by the Fund on five days' prior notice to MCK and (iii) the compensation earned by MacarthurCook under the Interim Agreement will be held in an escrow account with the Fund's custodian until the earlier of the expiration or termination of the Interim Agreement or the approval by Fund shareholders of a new investment sub-advisory agreement with MacarthurCook.

RMR Advisors performs administrative functions for the Fund pursuant to an administration agreement with the Fund. RMR Advisors has entered into a subadministration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, or State Street, to perform substantially all fund accounting and other administrative services. Under the administration agreement, RMR Advisors is entitled to reimbursement of the cost of providing administrative services. The Fund reimbursed RMR Advisors $47,268 for subadministrative fees charged by State Street for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Each trustee who is not a director, officer or employee of RMR Advisors, and who is not an "interested person" of the Fund as defined under the 1940 Act, is considered to be a "disinterested trustee". Disinterested trustees are each paid by the Fund an annual fee plus attendance fees for board and committee meetings. The Fund incurred $3,705 of trustee fees and expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The Fund's board of trustees, and separately the disinterested trustees, authorized the Fund to make reimbursement payments to RMR Advisors for costs related to the Fund's compliance and internal audit programs. The Fund incurred $20,323 of compliance and internal audit expense during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Fund also participates in pooled insurance programs with RMR Advisors and other funds managed by RMR Advisors and makes payments of allocated portions of related premiums. The Fund incurred $15,364 of allocated insurance expense during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Note C

Securities Transactions

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, there were purchases and sales transactions (excluding short term securities) of $7,515,328 and $7,742,468 respectively. Brokerage commissions on securities transactions amounted to $31,985 during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Note D

Reorganizations

On June 16, 2009, the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Old RAP, pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the boards of trustees of Old RAP and the Fund on March 26, 2009, and by the shareholders of Old RAP at a special meeting on June 4, 2009. It is expected that this transaction qualifies as a tax free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

As a result of this reorganization, each holder of Old RAP common shares received common shares of the Fund having an aggregate net asset value (NAV) equal to the aggregate NAV of the common shareholder's Old RAP common shares. As of the close of business on June 16, 2009, the NAV of Old RAP was $9.993 per common share and the NAV of the Fund was $12.98 per common share. The Fund completed a 1.5:1 reverse stock split on Tuesday, June 16, 2009. Each common share of Old RAP was converted into 0.513 common shares of the Fund. Immediately after this reorganization, the combined net assets of the Fund amounted to

40

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

June 30, 2009 (unaudited)

$17,602,113. In connection with this reorganization, the Fund has assumed the accounting and performance history of Old RAP.

Also on June 16, 2009, the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of RAF, pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the boards of trustees of RAF and the Fund on March 26, 2009, and by the shareholders of RAF at a special meeting on June 4, 2009. It is expected that this transaction qualifies as a tax free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

As a result of the reorganization, each holder of RAF common shares received common shares of the Fund having an aggregate NAV equal to the aggregate NAV of the common shareholder's RAF common shares. As of the close of business on June 16, 2009, the NAV of RAF was $9.989 per common share and the NAV of the Fund was $19.479 per common share, after effecting a 1.5:1 reverse stock split described above. Each common share of RAF was converted into 0.513 common shares of the Fund. Immediately after this reorganization, the combined net assets of the Fund amounted to $65,101,489.

The opening NAV of the Fund on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, after these reorganizations were completed, was $19.474.

RMR Real Estate Income Fund
RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund
June 30, 2009

For the purpose of the following, RMR Real Estate Income Fund ("RIF") and RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund ("RAP") are each referred to as a "Trust".

Consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreements and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement

RMR Advisors, Inc. ("RMR Advisors") serves as the investment adviser to each of RIF and RAP. MacarthurCook Investment Managers Limited ("MacarthurCook") serves as the investment sub-adviser to RAP. On January 28, 2009, the boards of trustees of each Trust (each a "Board") approved the investment advisory agreements between each of RIF and RAP and RMR Advisors, and the investment sub-advisory agreement among RAP, RMR Advisors and MacarthurCook, for an initial period of two years.

RIF was formed for the purpose of effectuating the reorganizations of each of RMR Real Estate Fund ("RMR"), RMR Hospitality and Real Estate Fund ("RHR"), RMR F.I.R.E. Fund ("RFR"), RMR Preferred Dividend Fund ("RDR") and RMR Dividend Capture Fund ("RCR") into RIF. RAP was formed for the purpose of effectuating the reorganizations of each of Old RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund ("Old RAP") and RMR Asia Real Estate Fund ("RAF") into RAP. Each of RMR, RHR, RFR, RDR, Old RAP, RAF and RCR are referred to as the "Old RMR Funds" and, in some instances, Old RAP and RAF are referred to as the "Old RMR Asia Funds".

Investment Advisory Agreements.    In making their determination to approve each investment advisory agreement, each Board, including all of the independent trustees, considered all of the factors described below.

Each Board considered the benefits of retaining RMR Advisors as the investment adviser of each Trust. The Boards discussed the nature, extent and quality of services that RMR Advisors has provided to the Old RMR Funds and is expected to provide to the Trusts; the quality and depth of personnel in RMR Advisors' organization; the experience and expertise of RMR Advisors as an investment adviser; the capacity and future commitment of RMR Advisors to perform its duties; the advisory and other fees to be paid; the fact that RMR Advisors has agreed to waive a portion of its fees in order to reduce RAP's operating expenses and to make cash payments to certain Old RMR Funds to compensate them for the loss of their respective fee waivers in the reorganizations; the level of fees paid to RMR Advisors compared to similar funds; the performance of each Old RMR Fund advised by RMR Advisors as compared to similar funds and to the specific market segments in which such Old RMR Funds invest; the potential for economies of scale; the financial condition and profitability of RMR Advisors; and any indirect benefits derived by RMR Advisors from its relationship with the Trusts. In considering such factors, the Boards noted their recent deliberations at their meeting on September 17, 2008 at which they considered the renewal of each Old RMR Fund's investment advisory agreement with RMR Advisors. The Boards considered such deliberations to be relevant to approving the investment advisory agreements since the Trusts' respective assets would consist of the combined assets of the respective Old RMR Funds with which such Trust would reorganize. In addition, the Boards considered the following in determining to retain RMR Advisors as the investment adviser of each Trust:

The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Trusts by RMR Advisors

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services that RMR Advisors would provide to the Trusts, the Boards noted the quality and depth of personnel in RMR Advisors' organization as well as their familiarity

42

with the high level of service RMR Advisors provided to the Old RMR Funds that it advised. The Boards also noted their familiarity with RMR Advisors's management through their service on the boards of the Old RMR Funds, and considered RMR Advisors's record of compliance with the Old RMR Funds' compliance policies and procedures and whether the Old RMR Funds had operated within their investment objectives, all of which the Boards considered relevant since (a) RIF would operate in the same manner as RMR and (b) RAP would operate in the same manner as Old RAP. The Boards also discussed RMR Advisors's role in coordinating and supervising the other service providers and RMR Advisors's effectiveness in monitoring the performance of MacarthurCook.

Advisory Fees, Other Expenses, Investment Performance and the Profitability of RMR Advisors

The RIF Board compared the advisory fees and anticipated total expense ratios of RIF to those of the domestic Old RMR Funds, observing that each domestic Old RMR Fund, other than RCR, pays a management fee to RMR Advisors at an annual rate of (i) 0.85% of the fund's average managed assets, and (ii) in the case of RCR, 1.00% of the fund's average managed assets. The RIF Board acknowledged that since RMR's contractual fee waiver expired on December 18, 2008, the investment advisory agreement between RIF and RMR Advisors does not contain a contractual fee waiver. It was noted that RHR's contractual fee waiver was scheduled to expire on April 27, 2009, RFR's contractual fee waiver was scheduled to expire on November 22, 2009 and RDR's contractual fee waiver was scheduled to expire on May 24, 2010. The RIF Board considered that in order to compensate each of RHR, RFR and RDR for the elimination of its respective fee waiver, which would occur as a result of each such fund's reorganization with RIF, RMR Advisors had agreed to make cash payments to each of RHR, RFR and RDR in order to compensate those funds for the loss of their respective fee waivers that would result from the reorganizations, provided that the reorganization of each respective fund closes prior to the expiration of its respective fee waiver. In this respect, the RIF Board recalled its conclusion at its December 18, 2008 meeting that such payments were fair and reasonable and that they would not result in RHR, RFR and RDR being deprived of the benefits intended by their respective contractual fee waivers, thus contributing to the RIF Board's conclusion that it was appropriate for RIF's investment advisory agreement not to contain a contractual fee waiver. The RIF Board further noted that RCR's investment advisory agreement with RMR Advisors did not contain a contractual fee waiver and that if the reorganization of RCR with RIF were consummated, it would result in a 15 basis point reduction in the management fee for RCR's shareholders, from 1.00% of average managed assets to 0.85% of average managed assets. The RIF Board recognized that the terms of the investment advisory agreement between RIF and RMR Advisors are substantively the same as the terms of the investment advisory agreement between RMR and RMR Advisors, which the trustees had determined to renew at a meeting on September 17, 2008.

The RAP Board compared the advisory fees and anticipated total expense ratio of RAP to those of the Old RMR Asia Funds, observing that each Old RMR Asia Fund paid a management fee to RMR Advisors at an annual rate of 1.00% of the fund's average managed assets. The RAP Board considered that, for the first five years following the closing of each of Old RAP's and RAF's initial public offering of common shares, RMR Advisors had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee equal to 0.25% of the average daily managed assets of each fund. The RAP Board also considered that RMR Advisors paid a sub-advisory fee to MacarthurCook as investment sub-adviser at an annual rate of 0.375% of each of Old RAP's and RAF's average daily managed assets and that for the first five years following the closing of each of Old RAP's and RAF's initial public offering of common shares, MacarthurCook had agreed to waive a portion of its sub-advisory fee for those funds. The RAP Board recognized that the terms of the investment advisory agreement between RAP and RMR Advisors are substantively the same as the terms of the investment advisory agreement between Old RAP and RMR Advisors, which the trustees had determined to renew at a meeting on September 17, 2008, except that RAP's contractual fee waiver has been extended to expire on the expiration date of RAF's historical contractual fee waiver, May 25, 2012. The RAP Board noted that, as a

43

result, the advisory fees paid by shareholders who held common shares of Old RAP prior to the reorganizations will be lower for the one year period beginning on May 25, 2011 and ending on May 25, 2012 than such advisory fees would be if the reorganization of Old RAP with RAP were not consummated. The RAP Board considered RMR Advisors' previous representation at a meeting held on December 18, 2008 that this reduction in fees will not decrease or modify the nature or level of the services that RMR Advisors will provide to RAP relative to what it historically provided to Old RAP and RAF.

The Boards then recalled the comparative analysis presented to them at their September 17, 2008 meeting comparing each Old RMR Fund's advisory fee, total expenses and investment performance to those of the universe of closed end investment companies and a smaller peer group of investment companies. The Boards noted that, since RIF would operate in the same manner as RMR, and RAP would operate in the same manner as Old RAP, such comparisons continued to be relevant. The Boards also noted the potential impact of the reorganizations on the expenses and performance of the Trusts going forward.

With respect to the financial condition and profitability of RMR Advisors, the Boards noted, as discussed at their September 17, 2008 meeting, that RMR Advisors was continuing to lose money but that those losses were expected to be reduced after the reorganizations were consummated. The Boards also noted that the actual profitability of RMR Advisors' business with the Trusts was difficult to predict because the reorganizations had not occurred yet. The Boards concluded that the owners of RMR Advisors appeared willing to continue to provide the necessary financing to fund RMR Advisors's operation at that time.

Economies of Scale

The Boards then discussed the fact that the Trusts were being formed as part of a plan to reorganize the Old RMR Funds managed by RMR Advisors. They recognized that the reorganizations, if effected, would reduce the number of funds managed by RMR Advisors and should therefore achieve some economies of scale for both the Trusts and RMR Advisors.

Indirect Benefits to RMR Advisors

The Boards also considered the effect of direct and indirect or "fall-out" benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements) to RMR Advisors as a result of its relationship with the Trusts. The Boards noted that RMR Advisors may consider the value of research it receives from brokers when determining best execution of portfolio transactions, and that the Trusts may pay higher commissions to brokers providing research than would be available from other brokers who do not provide such benefits to RMR Advisors. The Boards recognized that a portion of the brokerage commissions paid by any given Trust might be considered as being paid to obtain research related services that may benefit RMR Advisors by making available to it research that it might otherwise determine to purchase or prepare at its own expense in connection with the services it will provide to the Trusts. In light of the potential benefits to each Trust of its availability to RMR Advisors and the relatively low absolute additional potential brokerage expenses associated with this practice, the Boards did not consider this a material factor in their analysis.

Conclusion

The Boards did not identify any single factor as controlling in its deliberations regarding the approval of the investment advisory agreements and each trustee did not necessarily attribute the same weight to the same factors. Based on the trustees' evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be relevant, each Board, including the independent trustees of each Board, concluded that RMR Advisors possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required under the investment advisory agreements and the proposed advisory fee rates are fair and reasonable, given the scope and quality of the services to be rendered by RMR Advisors.

44

Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement.    In making its determination to approve the investment sub-advisory agreement, the RAP Board, including all of the independent trustees, considered all of the factors described below.

The RAP Board considered the benefits of retaining MacarthurCook as the investment sub-adviser to RAP. The RAP Board discussed the nature, extent and quality of services that MacarthurCook has provided to Old RAP and RAF and is expected to provide to RAP; the quality and experience of personnel of MacarthurCook's organization, as well as the depth of personnel; the experience and expertise of MacarthurCook as an investment adviser; the capacity and future commitment of MacarthurCook to perform its duties; the sub-advisory fees to be paid to MacarthurCook by RMR Advisors; the fact that MacarthurCook has agreed to waive a portion of its fees until May 25, 2012 and its related representation with respect to the nature and level of services it will provide to RAP; the level of investment advisory fees to be paid by RAP, which indirectly includes the fee paid to MacarthurCook, as compared to similar funds; MacarthurCook's performance history as sub-adviser to each of Old RAP and RAF; the potential for economies of scale; the financial condition and profitability of MacarthurCook; and any indirect benefits to be derived by MacarthurCook from its relationship with RAP. In considering such factors, the trustees noted their recent deliberations at their meeting on September 17, 2008 at which they considered the renewal of Old RAP's and RAF's sub-advisory agreements with MacarthurCook. The RAP Board considered such deliberations to be relevant to approving the sub-advisory agreement since RAP's assets would consist of the combined assets of Old RAP and RAF. In addition, the RAP Board considered the following in determining to retain MacarthurCook as the investment sub-adviser of RAP:

The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by MacarthurCook

The RAP Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of MacarthurCook. The RAP Board took into account their familiarity with MacarthurCook and its management through Old RAP and RAF, noting those funds' strong historical performance. The RAP Board also considered MacarthurCook's record of compliance with its own compliance policies and procedures, with Old RAP and RAF's compliance policies and procedures, whether Old RAP and RAF had operated within their investment objectives and RMR Advisors' oversight of MacarthurCook, all of which the RAP Board considered relevant since RAP would operate in the same manner as Old RAP. Additionally, the RAP Board considered the extent of specialized knowledge of MacarthurCook, noting that MacarthurCook specialized in the area of real estate investment management in the Asia Pacific region.

Sub-Advisory Fees, Other Expenses, Investment Performance and the Profitability of MacarthurCook

The RAP Board noted that RMR Advisors, not RAP, would pay MacarthurCook 0.375% per annum of the value of RAP's managed assets and that MacarthurCook had agreed to waive a portion of its investment sub-advisory fee until May 25, 2012 such that the fee payable to MacarthurCook would be equal to 0.25% per annum of the value of RAP's managed assets. The RAP Board further noted that the sub-advisory fee under the investment sub-advisory agreement was a product of arm's length negotiations between RMR Advisors and MacarthurCook. The RAP Board noted that the decrease in fees represented by the extension of Old RAP's fee waiver that would result from the reorganizations will not decrease or modify the nature or level of the services that MacarthurCook will provide to RAP relative to what it currently provides to Old RAP and RAF, and that the sub-advisory agreement among RAP, RMR Advisors and MacarthurCook was otherwise substantively identical to the sub-advisory agreement among Old RAP, RMR Advisors and MacarthurCook that the trustees determined to renew at a meeting on September 17, 2008. The independent trustees also noted their recollection, and later confirmed with RMR Advisors' management, that in the negotiation of the sub-advisory fee to be paid to MacarthurCook in connection with the establishment of Old RAP and RAF, such fees were agreed upon by reference to, and were consistent with, the fees paid to investment advisers who

45

provide comparable services in Old RAP's and RAF's market sector, and that the sub-advisory fee to be paid to MacarthurCook for RAP, which would operate in the same market sector as Old RAP and RAF, was identical to that paid for Old RAP and RAF.

The RAP Board then recalled the comparative analysis presented to them at their September 17, 2008 meeting comparing each of Old RAP's and RAF's advisory expense (which includes the sub-advisory fees) and total expenses to those of the universe of closed end investment companies and a smaller peer group of investment companies. With respect to the trustees' evaluation of MacarthurCook's investment performance, the trustees recalled their consideration of Old RAP's and RAF's performance results as compared to relevant benchmarks presented at their September 17, 2008 meeting. The RAP Board noted that, since RAP would operate in the same manner as Old RAP, such comparisons continued to be relevant. The RAP Board also noted the potential impact of the reorganizations on the expenses and performance of RAP going forward.

The RAP Board then discussed the experience of MacarthurCook in general, recalling MacarthurCook's presentation and noting that MacarthurCook had the financial wherewithal to perform the services required under the sub-advisory agreement. In considering the profitability of MacarthurCook, the RAP Board again noted that the fee paid pursuant to the investment sub-advisory agreement was the product of arm's length negotiations between RMR Advisors and MacarthurCook and that MacarthurCook has agreed to waive a portion of the sub-advisory fee payable by RMR Advisors, allowing RMR Advisors to pass this savings on to RAP in the form of a waiver of its advisory fee charged to RAP.

Economies of Scale

The RAP Board then discussed the fact that RAP was being formed as part of a plan to reorganize Old RAP and RAF. The RAP Board recognized that the reorganizations, if effected, should achieve some economies of scale by virtue of the combination of the assets of Old RAP and RAF into RAP and with respect to certain expenses.

Other Benefits to MacarthurCook

The RAP Board also considered the indirect benefits to be derived by MacarthurCook from its relationship with RAP. In particular, the RAP Board considered that MacarthurCook is permitted to consider the value of research it receives from brokers when determining best execution of portfolio transactions, and that RAP may pay higher commissions to brokers providing research than would be available from other brokers who do not do so. As such, a portion of the brokerage commissions paid by RAP may be considered as paid to obtain research related services that may benefit MacarthurCook by making available to it research that it might otherwise determine to purchase or prepare at its own expense in connection with services it provides to all of its clients. In light of the potential benefits to RAP of its availability to MacarthurCook and the relatively low absolute additional potential brokerage expenses associated with this practice, the RAP Board did not consider this a material factor in its analysis. Additionally, the RAP Board noted that MacarthurCook had reported that the brokers with whom it will place portfolio transactions on behalf of RAP to date typically have not conditioned the availability of research on commission related factors.

Conclusion

In considering the approval of the investment sub-advisory agreement, the RAP Board did not identify any single factor as controlling. Based on the trustees' evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be relevant, the RAP Board, including the independent trustees, concluded that MacarthurCook possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required under the investment sub-advisory agreement; based on their experience with MacarthurCook as sub-adviser of Old RAP and RAF, MacarthurCook maintains an appropriate compliance program; and the proposed sub-advisory fee rate is fair and reasonable, given the scope and quality of the services to be rendered by MacarthurCook.

Brokerage Policy

Subject to the supervision of the board of trustees, RMR Advisors is authorized to employ such securities brokers and dealers for the purchase and sale of Fund assets and to select the brokerage commission rates at which such transactions are effected. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute transactions for the Funds, RMR Advisors seeks the best execution available (which may or may not result in paying the lowest available brokerage commission or lowest spread). In so doing, RMR Advisors considers all factors it believes are relevant to obtaining best execution, including such factors as: the net price available; the reliability, integrity and financial condition of the broker; the size of and difficulty in executing the order; the value of the expected contribution of the broker and the scope and quality of research it provides.

RMR Advisors may select brokers that furnish it or its affiliates or personnel, directly or through third party or correspondent relationships, with research or brokerage services which provide, in its view, appropriate assistance to it in the investment decision making or trade execution processes. Such research or brokerage services may include, without limitation and to the extent permitted by applicable law: research reports on companies, industries and securities; economic and financial data; financial publications; and broker sponsored industry conferences. Research or brokerage services obtained in this manner may be used in servicing any or both of the Funds. Such products and services may disproportionately benefit the one Fund relative to another Fund based on the amount of brokerage commissions paid by such Fund and such other Funds. To the extent that RMR Advisors uses commission dollars to obtain research or brokerage services, it will not have to pay for those products and services itself.

RMR Advisors may endeavor, subject to best execution, to execute trades through brokers who, pursuant to such arrangements, provide research or brokerage services in order to ensure the continued receipt of research or brokerage services it believes are useful in its decision making or trade execution processes.

RMR Advisors may pay, or be deemed to have paid, commission rates higher than it could have otherwise paid in order to obtain research or brokerage services. Such higher commissions would be paid in accordance with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires RMR Advisors to determine in good faith that the commission paid is reasonable in relation to the value of the research or brokerage services provided. RMR Advisors believes that using commission dollars to obtain the type of research or brokerage services mentioned above enhances its investment research and trading processes, thereby increasing the prospect for higher investment returns.

RMR Real Estate Income Fund
RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The board of trustees of each of RIF and RAP have adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (each, a "Plan"), sometimes referred to as an opt-out plan. You will have all your cash distributions invested in common shares automatically unless you elect to receive cash. As part of each Plan, you will have the opportunity to purchase additional common shares by submitting a cash payment for the purchase of such shares (the "Cash Purchase Option"). Your cash payment, if any, for the additional shares may not exceed $10,000 per quarter, per Plan and must be for a minimum of $100 per quarter. Wells Fargo Bank N.A. is the plan agent and paying agent for each plan. The plan agent will receive your distributions and additional cash payments under the Cash Purchase Option and either purchase common shares in the open market for your account or directly from the applicable Fund. If you elect not to participate in a Plan, you will receive all cash distributions in cash paid by check mailed to you (or, generally, if your shares are held in street name, to your broker) by the paying agent.

The number of common shares of each Fund you will receive if you do not opt out of a Plan will be determined as follows:

(1)

If, on a distribution payment date for a Fund, the market price per common share plus estimated per share brokerage commissions applicable to an open market purchase of common shares is below the net asset value per common share on that payment date, the plan agent will receive the distribution in cash and, together with your additional cash payments, if any, will purchase common shares of that Fund in the open market, on the NYSE Amex or elsewhere, for your account prior to the next ex-dividend date (or 60 days after the distribution payment date, which ever is sooner, in the case of RAP). It is possible that the market price for a Fund's common shares may increase before the plan agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the plan agent may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid to you in common shares newly issued by a Fund. In the event it appears that the plan agent will not be able to complete the open market purchases prior to the next ex-dividend date, each Fund will determine whether to issue the remaining shares at the greater of (i) net asset value per common share at the time of purchase or (ii) 100% of the per common share market price at the time of purchase. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested amounts.

(2)

If, on the distribution payment date for a Fund, the market price per common share plus estimated per share brokerage commissions applicable to an open market purchase of common shares is at or above the net asset value per common share on that payment date, the appropriate Fund will issue new shares for your account, at a price equal to the greater of (i) net asset value per common share on that payment date or (ii) 95% of the per common share market price on that payment date.

(3)

The plan agent maintains all shareholder accounts in each Plan (including all shares purchased under the Cash Purchase Option) and provides written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. Common shares in your account will be held by the Plan agent in non-certificated form. Any proxy you receive will include all common shares you have received or purchased under a Plan.

You may withdraw from any Plan at any time by giving written notice to the plan agent. If you withdraw or a Plan is terminated, the plan agent will transfer the shares in your account to you (which may include a cash payment for any fraction of a share in your account). If you wish, the plan agent will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions to be paid by you.

50

The Plan agent is not authorized to make any purchases of shares for your account if doing so will result in your owning shares in excess of 9.8% of the total shares outstanding in each Fund. Dividends or cash purchase option payments which may result in such prohibited transactions will be paid to you in cash.

The plan agent's administrative fees will be paid by the Funds. There will be no brokerage commission charged with respect to common shares issued directly by any Fund. Each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the plan agent when it makes open market purchases of a Fund's shares pursuant to a Plan including the Cash Purchase Option.

Either Fund may amend or terminate its Plan or the Cash Purchase Option if its board of trustees determines the change is appropriate. However, no additional charges will be imposed upon participants by amendment to a Plan except after prior notice to participants.

Participation in a Plan will not relieve you of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) as a result of distributions you receive which are credited to your account under a Plan rather than paid in cash. Automatic reinvestment of distributions in a Fund's common shares will not relieve you of tax obligations arising from your receipt of that Fund's distributions even though you do not receive any cash.
