1.   Basis of presentation

     The financial statements of Health and Retirement Properties Trust,
formerly known as Health and Rehabilitation Properties Trust, ("the
Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.


2.   Tax status

     The Company is a real estate investment trust under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Accordingly, the Company expects not to
be subject to federal income taxes on amounts distributed to shareholders
provided it distributes at least 95% of its real estate investment trust
taxable income and meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a
real estate investment trust.


3.   Dividends

     On July 7, 1994, the Trustees declared a dividend on the Company's
common shares of beneficial interest with respect to the quarter ended June
30, 1994 of $.33 per share, which will be paid on or about August 30, 1994
to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 29, 1994.

     Dividends are principally based on funds from operations which means
net income excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of
property plus depreciation and amortization.  Dividends in excess of net
income are a return of capital.


4.   Leases

     On February 11, 1994, in connection with the merger of Greenery
Rehabilitation Group Inc. (Greenery) into Horizon Healthcare Corporation
(Horizon), the Company sold to Horizon for $28,400, three facilities that
had been leased to Greenery.  The Company realized a capital gain of
approximately $3,994 on the sale of these properties.  In addition, Horizon
has leased seven facilities previously leased to Greenery, on substantially
similar terms except the leases were extended through 2005.  The Company
has also granted Horizon a ten year option to buy, at the rate of no more

than one facility per year, the seven leased facilities.  Also, the
Company leased the three remaining Greenery facilities to a newly formed
corporation, Connecticut Subacute Corporation II (CSC II), an affiliate of
HRPT Advisors, Inc. (Advisor).  These facilities are being managed by and
the lease payments are guaranteed by Horizon for a term of up to five
years.  The terms of these lease arrangements are substantially similar to
the original lease arrangements.


     On March 17, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with Host
Marriott Corporation to acquire 14 retirement communities containing 3,952
residences or beds for $320,000, subject to adjustments.  The communities
are triple net leased through December 31, 2013 to a wholly owned
subsidiary of Marriott International, Inc. (Marriott).  The leases provide
for fixed rent aggregating approximately $28,000 per year and additional
rentals equal to 4.5% of annual revenues from operations in excess of base
amounts determined on a facility by facility basis.  All of the leases are
subject to cross default provisions and are guaranteed by Marriott.  In
connection with the execution of the purchase and sale agreement for the
Marriott transaction, the Company provided a $25,000 cash deposit.  As of
July 29, the Company has completed the acquisition of 11 of the 14
communities for $228,991 funded from the proceeds of the equity offering
described in Note 7, application of a portion of the cash deposit,
borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and proceeds of
the debt offering described in Note 6.  The remaining purchase price will
be funded by the assumption of $17,600 of existing debt bearing interest at
8.75%, proceeds of the debt offering described in Note 6, available cash,
application of the balance of the cash deposit, and/or drawings under the
Company's revolving credit facility.  The remainder of this acquisition is
expected to close in August 1994.


5.   Real Estate Mortgages and Notes

     On February 11, 1994, in connection with the Horizon - Greenery
merger, the Company provided Horizon with $9,400 first mortgage financing
for two facilities.  One of the facilities previously was owned by the
Company and leased to Greenery.  The mortgage notes bear interest at 11.5%
per annum and mature December 31, 2000.

     During the first half of 1994, mortgage loans, secured by eight
properties, with outstanding principal balances totalling $18,563 were
repaid.

6.   Borrowings

     On February 24, 1994, the Company closed a new $110,000 revolving
credit facility from a syndicate of banks.  The new credit facility, which
replaced the Company's $40,000 revolving credit facility scheduled to
mature in January 1995, will mature in 1997, unless extended by the
parties.  Borrowings under the new credit facility bear interest, at the
Company's option, at a spread over LIBOR or prime.  The Company has drawn
on the new credit facility, upon its closing, to repay the $40,000
outstanding on the previously existing revolving credit facility and, on
April 1, 1994, to repay the $33,000 term loan.  On May 13, 1994, the
Company repaid all $73,000 outstanding under the new credit facility with
proceeds of the offering described in Note 7.  On June 15, 1994, the
Company amended the revolving credit facility, among other things, to
reduce the interest rate spread over LIBOR, to increase the facility to
$120,000 with provision for possible further increases to $150,000 before
August 31, 1994 and to make the facility unsecured.  In connection with the
closing of this new revolving credit facility and the prepayment of the
$33,000 term loan and borrowings under the previous revolving credit
facility, the Company wrote off deferred charges of $1,953 which has been
reported as an extraordinary item.  During June the Company borrowed
$62,000 under the revolving credit facility to fund a portion of the
Marriott transaction.  Such borrowings were repaid in July with the
proceeds of a debt offering described below and cash on hand.

     On July 13, 1994, the Company received net proceeds of $197,270 from
the offering of $200,000 in floating rate senior notes due in 1999.  The
notes were issued in two series.  The Series A Notes, in an aggregate
principal amount of $75,000, bear interest at LIBOR plus 105 basis points
and may be called by the Company beginning April 13, 1995.  The Series B
Notes, in an aggregate principal amount of $125,000, were issued at a
discount (99.0159% of par), bear interest at LIBOR plus 72 basis points and
may be called by the Company beginning July 13, 1996.  A portion of these
proceeds were used to fund part of the Marriott transaction and to repay
$56,000 of borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. The
Company expects to apply the balance to fund the remainder of the Marriott
transaction and future real estate acquisitions.

7.   Common Shares of Beneficial Interest

     On January 19, 1994, the Company received net proceeds of
approximately $8,301 and issued 601,500 shares of the Company's stock in
connection with the exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option
granted in connection with a public offering of the Company's stock in
December 1993.  The proceeds were used as part of the initial deposit on
the Marriott transaction.

7.   Common Shares of Beneficial Interest-Continued

     On May 13, 1994, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$174,065 from the public offering of 12,650,000 shares of the Company's
stock.  These proceeds were used, in part, to repay $73,000 in borrowings
under the Company's revolving credit facility and the balance to fund part
of the Marriott transaction.

8.   Financing Commitments

     During the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the Company provided
improvement financing at existing properties of approximately $3,202.  
As of June 30, 1994, the Company has commitments to provide additional
improvement financing at existing properties totalling approximately 
$17,377.

9.   Concentration of Credit Risk

     Substantially all of the Company's assets are invested in income
producing health care real estate.  At June 30, 1994, a total of 47% of the
Company's real estate properties, net and real estate mortgages and notes,
net were subject to mortgages and leases with Marriott and Horizon.  The
financial statements of Marriott have been filed as a part of Marriott's
Quarterly Form 10-Q, file number 1-12188, for the twenty four weeks ended
June 17, 1994.  The financial statements of Horizon have been filed as a
part of Horizon's Quarterly Form 10-Q, file number 1-9369, for the nine
months ended February 28, 1994.

10.  Pro Forma Information (Unaudited)

     The following summarized Pro Forma Statements of Income assume that
all of the Company's real estate financing transactions during 1993, both
1993 share offerings, the January 19, 1994 over-allotment option exercise,
the Horizon-Greenery merger and the Marriott transaction and the related
equity offering completed in May 1994 and debt offering completed in July
1994, had occurred on January 1, 1993 and give effect to the Company's
borrowing rates throughout the periods indicated.

The summarized Pro Forma Balance Sheet is intended to present the financial
position of the Company as if the Marriott transaction and the related 
equity offering completed in May 1994 and debt offering completed in July
1994, had occurred on June 30, 1994.

These pro forma statements are not necessarily indicative of the expected
results of operations or the Company's financial position for any future
period.  Differences could result from, but are not limited to, additional
property investments, changes in interest rates and changes in the debt
and/or equity structure of the Company.

                   OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Quarter Ended June 30, 1994 versus 1993

     Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, increased to
$19,916,000 from $13,763,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1993.  Rental
income increased to $13,531,000 from $11,463,000 and interest income
increased to $6,385,000 from $2,300,000 during the comparable period. 
Rental income increased primarily as a result of new investments in real
estate subsequent to June 30, 1993.  Interest income increased primarily
due to the acquisition of three pools of performing mortgage loans between
May and December, 1993.

     Total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, increased to
$5,582,000 from $4,227,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1993.  The
increase is primarily the result of increases in depreciation and
amortization of $1,121,000 as a result of new investments since the 1993
quarter.

     Income before gain on sale of properties and extraordinary item
increased to $14,334,000 or $.28 per share for the 1994 quarter from
$9,536,000 or $.27 per share for the 1993 quarter.  The increase in income
before gain on sale of properties and extraordinary items is primarily a
result of the new investments since June 30, 1993.  Net income for the
quarters ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, was $12,381,000 ($.24 per share) and
$9,536,000 ($.27 per share), respectively.

     The Company bases its dividend primarily on funds from operations
during the quarter.  Funds from operations means net income excluding gains
(or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization.  Cash available for distribution may not
necessarily equal funds from operations as the cash flow of the Company is
affected by other factors not included in the funds from operations
calculation.  Funds from operations for the 1994 quarter was $17,860,000 or
$.35 per share for the 1994 quarter and $11,895,000 or $.34 per share, for
the 1993 quarter.

     The dividends declared which relate to these quarters were $18,937,050
or $.33 per share in 1994 and $11,236,000 or $.32 per share in 1993. 
Dividends for the 1994 quarter exceeded, in the aggregate, the funds from
operations because dividends were declared on 12,620,500 shares, which were
not outstanding for the entire quarter.

                   OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 versus 1993

     Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1994 increased to
$37,463,000 from $26,413,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1993. 
Rental income increased to $26,001,000 from $22,852,000 and interest income
increased to $11,462,000 from $3,561,000 during the comparable period.

Rental income increased as a result of new real estate investments,
primarily the Community Care of America transaction in December 1993.  The
increase in interest income reflects the purchases between May and December
1993 of three pools of performing mortgage loans.

     Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1994 increased to
$10,479,000 from $8,468,000 in 1993.  Advisory fees and depreciation and
amortization increased by $428,000 and $1,526,000, respectively, in the
1994 period as a result of new investments, including those mentioned
above, that occurred near the end of, or subsequent to, the 1993 period and
therefore, did not materially affect expenses during the six months ended
June 30, 1993.

     Funds from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993
was $33,318,000 ($.69 per share) and $22,638,000 ($.68 per share),
respectively, income before gain on sale of properties and extraordinary
items was $26,984,000 ($.56 per share) and $17,945,000 ($.54 per share),
respectively, and net income was $29,025,000 ($.60 per share) and
$14,553,000 ($.44 per share), respectively.  Income before gain on sale of
properties and extraordinary items increased primarily as a result of new
investments since June 1993.  Dividends declared relating to the six months
ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 were $37,870,000 ($.66 per share) and
$22,040,000 ($.64 per share), respectively.  Dividends for the 1994 period
exceeded funds from operations because dividends were declared on
12,620,500 shares which were not outstanding for the entire period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Assets of the Company increased to $690,637,000 at June 30, 1994 from
$527,662,000 at December 31, 1993.  The increase is principally the net
result of increases in real estate properties, net, and cash and cash
equivalents of $154,932,000 and $10,710,000, respectively and a decrease in
real estate mortgages and notes, net, of $4,394,000.  The increase in cash
and cash equivalents is attributable principally to $11,086,000 of cash on
deposit with Host Marriott Corporation and not available to reduce debt. 
The increase in real estate properties is the net result of the acquisition
of nine retirement communities in connection with the Marriott transaction,
improvement financings for existing tenants and the sale of three
properties in connection with the February 11, 1994 merger of Greenery
Rehabilitation Group, Inc. (Greenery) into Horizon Healthcare Corporation

(Horizon).  Real estate mortgages and notes, net, decreased principally due
to the prepayment of mortgage investments totalling $18,563,000 net of new
mortgage financings of $10,557,000.

     On February 11, 1994, in connection with the Horizon-Greenery merger,
the Company sold to Horizon for $28,400,000 three facilities that had been
leased to Greenery.  The Company realized a capital gain of approximately
$3,994,000 on the sale of these properties.  In addition, Horizon has 
leased seven facilities previously leased to Greenery, on substantially
similar terms except the leases were extended through 2005.  The Company
has also granted Horizon a ten year option to buy, at the rate of no more
than one facility per year, the seven leased facilities.  Also, the Company
leased the three remaining Greenery Facilities to a newly formed
corporation, Connecticut Subacute Corporation, II (CSC II), an affiliate of
HRPT Advisors, Inc. (Advisor).  These facilities are being managed by and
the lease payments are guaranteed by Horizon for a term of up to five
years.  The terms of these lease arrangements are substantially similar to
the original lease arrangements.

     On February 11, 1994, in connection with the Horizon-Greenery merger,
the Company provided Horizon with $9,400,000 first mortgage financing for
two facilities.  One of the facilities previously was owned by the Company
and leased to Greenery.  The mortgage notes bear interest at 11.5% per
annum and mature December 31, 2000.

     On March 17, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with Host
Marriott Corporation to acquire 14 retirement communities containing 3,952
residencies or beds for $320,000,000 subject to adjustments.  The
communities are triple net leased through December 31, 2013 to a wholly
owned subsidiary of Marriott International, Inc.  (Marriott).  The leases
provide for fixed rent aggregating approximately $28,000,000 per year and
additional rentals equal to 4.5% of annual revenues from operations in
excess of base amounts determined on a facility by facility basis.  All of
the leases are subject to cross default provisions and are guaranteed by
Marriott.  In connection with the execution of the purchase and sale
agreement for the Marriott transaction, the Company provided a $25,000,000
cash deposit.  As of July 29, the Company has completed the acquisition of
11 of the 14 communities for $228,991,000 which was funded from cash on
hand, the proceeds of an equity offering discussed below, application of a
portion of the cash deposit, drawings under the Company's revolving credit
facility and a portion of the proceeds from a floating rate note offering
described below.  The balance of the purchase price will be funded by the
assumption of $17,600,000 of existing debt bearing interest at 8.75%,
available cash, application of the remainder of the cash deposit and
additional proceeds of the $200,000,000 floating rate note offering. The
remainder of the acquisition is expected to close in August, 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - continued

     At June 30, 1994, the Company had $24,597,000 of cash and cash
equivalents, including the remaining $11,086,000 cash deposit with
Marriott, and the ability to borrow up to an additonal $58,000,000 under
its revolving credit facility.  At June 30, 1994, the Company had
outstanding commitments to provide $17,377,000 in improvement financing for
existing investments.  On May 13, 1994 the Company received net proceeds of
approximately $174,541,000 from the public offering of 12,650,000 common
shares of beneficial interest (including the underwriter's over-allotment
option).  A portion of the proceeds were used to repay the outstanding
balance of $73,000,000 on the Company's revolving credit facility and the
remainder to fund part of the Marriott transaction.  

     On July 13, 1994, the Company received net proceeds of $197,270,000
from the offering of $200,000,000 in floating rate senior notes due in
1999.  The notes were issued in two series.  The Series A Notes, in an
aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000, bear interest at LIBOR plus 105
basis points and may be called by the Company beginning April 13, 1995. 
The Series B Notes, in an aggregate principal amount of $125,000,000, were
issued at a discount (99.0159% of par), bear interest at LIBOR plus 72
basis points and may be called by the Company beginning July 13, 1996.  A
portion of these proceeds were used to fund part of the Marriott
transaction and to repay $56,000,000 in borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facility.  The Company expects to apply the balance to
fund the remainder of the Marriott transaction and future real estate
acquisitions.  This senior note offering was drawn under a shelf
registration statement for the offering of up to $345,000,000 of debt
securities, preferred shares of beneficial interest, common shares of
beneficial interest and common share warrants.  An additional $145,000,000
of securities may be issued under this registration statement.

     The Company is continuing to seek new investments to expand and
diversify its portfolio of leased and mortgaged health care related real
estate.  The Company believes that the new investments described above
substantially improve the quality and diversity of lessees and mortgagors
in its portfolio and also the security of its future cash flows and
dividends.  Upon completion of the Marriott transaction approximately 70%
of the Company's portfolio will be leased to or mortgage financed with
seven New York Stock Exchange listed companies.  Also, Marriott,  which is
an A- investment grade rated company, will be the Company's largest single
tenant.

The Company intends to balance the use of debt and equity in such a manner
that the long term cost of funds borrowed to acquire or mortgage finance
facilities is appropriately matched, to the extent practicable, with the
terms of the investments made with such borrowed funds.  As of June 30,
1994, the Company's debt as a percentage of total capitalization was
approximately 9% and upon completion of the $200,000,000 floating rate note
offering in July 1994 was approximately 24%.  Current expenses and
dividends are provided for by funds from operations.
