                          March 31, 1995
                           (UNAUDITED)

(1)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
              
     The unaudited financial information furnished herein, in the opinion of 
management reflects all adjustments that are necessary to state fairly the 
Company's financial position, the results of its operations and its cash 
flows.  The Company presumes that users of the interim financial information 
herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements and 
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations for the preceding fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 and that the 
adequacy of additional disclosures needed for a fair presentation, except in 
regard to material contingencies, may be determined in that context.  
Accordingly, footnotes and other disclosures that would substantially 
duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company's most recent annual 
report to security holders have been omitted.  The interim financial 
information contained herein is not necessarily representative of a full 
year's operations for various reasons including acquisitions, changes in 
rents, interest rates and the timing of debt and equity financings.  These 
same considerations apply to all year-to-year comparisons.

Net Income Per Share

     Net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the 
weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  There were 
28,509,254 shares outstanding as of March 31, 1995.

Funds From Operations

	Funds From Operations is defined as net income (computed in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) 
from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and 
amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint 
ventures.  Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are 
calculated to reflect Funds From Operations on the same basis.  Funds From 
Operations does not represent cash generated from operating activities in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily 
indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered 
as an alternative to net income.

(2)  MAJOR LESSEES

     During the first quarter of 1995, the following approximate percentages 
of the Company's revenue were received from subsidiaries of: Tenet Healthcare 
Corporation("Tenet"), formerly National Medical Enterprises, Inc. - 8%; The

("Healthsouth") - 5%.  All of the leases with subsidiaries of Tenet, 
Hillhaven and Healthsouth are unconditionally guaranteed by Tenet.  In 
addition, 11% of the Company's revenue was received from leases guaranteed by

                    HEALTH CARE PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC.
        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION          
                        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL

     The Company is in the business of acquiring health care facilities that 
it leases on a long-term basis to health care providers.  On a more limited 
basis, the Company has provided mortgage financing on health care facilities. 
As of March 31, 1995, the Company's portfolio of properties, including equity 
investments, consisted of 183 facilities that are located in 32 states.  
These facilities are comprised of 140 long-term care facilities, 16 
congregate care and assisted living facilities, 12 medical office buildings, 
six acute care hospitals, six rehabilitation facilities, two physician group 
practice clinics and one psychiatric care facility.  The gross acquisition 
price of the properties, which includes partnership acquisitions, was 
approximately $725,000,000 at March 31, 1995. 

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company expended 
approximately $4,000,000 on investments in health care facilities.  As of 
March 31, 1995, the Company had commitments to purchase and construct health 
care facilities totaling $37,000,000 which are expected to be funded during 
1995 and 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has financed acquisitions through the sale of common stock, 
the issuance of long-term debt, the assumption of mortgage debt, the use of 
short-term bank lines and through internally generated cash flow.  Facilities 
under construction are generally financed by means of cash on hand or short-
term borrowings under the Company's existing bank lines.  In the future, the 
Company may use its Medium-Term Note program to finance a portion of the 
costs of construction.  At the completion of construction and commencement of 
the lease, short-term borrowings used in the construction phase are generally 
refinanced with new long-term debt or equity offerings.
     
     On February 9, 1995 the Company issued 1,725,000 shares of Common Stock 
at $29 per share with net proceeds of approximately $47,400,000.  In February 
and March, the Company also issued a total of $27,000,000 of Medium-Term 
Notes (MTNs) bearing interest from 8.81% to 9.00% and maturing between 2000 
and 2015.  On March 13, 1995 the proceeds from the issuance of the stock and 
MTNs were used to retire $75,000,000 9-7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes due 1998 
without penalty at par plus accrued interest.  The new financings resulted in 
lowering the Company's leverage and will favorably impact the Company's 
future earnings and fixed charge coverage ratios.  At March 31, 1995, 
Stockholders Equity in the Company totaled $317,748,000 and the Debt to 
Stockholders Equity ratio was 0.71.

     At March 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $102,000,000 available 
under its shelf registration statement for future issuance of capital from 
time to time in accordance with then existing market conditions; in addition, 
there was $87,000,000 unused on its $100,000,000 revolving line of credit.  
This line of credit with a group of seven domestic and international banks 
expires on March 31, 1998.  The Company's Senior and Convertible Subordinated 
Notes have been rated investment grade by debt rating agencies since 1986.  
Current ratings are as follows:

                          Moody's      Standard & Poor's      Duff & Phelps
                          -------      -----------------      -------------

Convertible 
   Subordinated Notes      Baa2               BBB                  BBB+

     Since inception in May 1985, the Company has recorded approximately 
$385,228,000 in cumulative Funds From Operations.  Of this amount, a total of 
$315,368,000 has been distributed to stockholders as dividends.  The balance 
of $69,860,000 has been retained, and is an additional source of capital for 
the Company.

     The first quarter 1995 dividend of $0.52 per share or $13,926,000 in the 
aggregate was paid on February 21, 1995.  Total dividends paid during the 
three months ended March 31, 1995 as a percentage of Funds From Operations 
for the corresponding period was 77%.

     Management believes that the Company's liquidity and sources of capital 
are adequate to finance its operations as well as its future investments in 
additional facilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 1995 totaled $13,756,000 
or $0.50 per share, on revenues of $26,728,000 compared to Net Income of 
$11,252,000 or $0.42 per share, on revenues of $23,617,000 for the 
corresponding quarter in 1994.  Funds From Operations for the three months 
ended March 31, 1995, increased to $18,105,000, compared with $15,602,000 for 
the corresponding period in the prior year.

     Earnings and Funds From Operations were significantly higher than a year 
ago due to increases in rental and interest income.  Increases in base rental 
income and interest income were generated from new investments, including the 
$73,000,000 invested in new facilities during 1994.  The increase in 
additional rental and interest income from $4,021,000 in the first quarter of 
1994 to $4,864,000 in the corresponding quarter of 1995 was attributable to 
revenue growth at many of the Company's facilities and from interest income 
increases on other investments. Interest expense was higher due to the 
increase in average borrowings as a result of the issuance of approximately 
$42,000,000 of Senior Notes issued from the Medium Term Note program between 
November 1994 and March 1995.  Subsequent quarters should benefit from the 
prepayment of the 9-7/8% Senior Notes as discussed under Liquidity and 
Capital Resources.
