                    (dollars in thousands, except per share data)
                                     (Unaudited)

          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 October 6, 1994, the Trustees declared a dividend on the
          Company's common shares of beneficial interest with respect to
          the quarter ended September 30, 1994 of $.33 per share, which
          will be paid on or about November 30, 1994 to shareholders of
          record at the close of business on October 23, 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

                             September 30, 1993 and 1994

                                     (Unaudited)

          4.   Leases-continued

          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 August 31, 1994, the Company acquired a medical
          laboratory building for $3,850. The property was acquired subject
          to a triple-net lease with Unilab Corporation with a remaining
          term of 12 years.  The yield on this transaction is approximately
          13%

               On September 9, 1994, the Company completed its transaction
          with Host Marriott Corporation whereby it acquired 14 retirement
          communities containing 3,952 residences or beds for approximately
          $320,000. The communities are triple net leased through December
          31, 2013 to a wholly owned subsidiary of Marriott International,
          Inc. (Marriott).  The leases are guaranteed by Marriott.  The
          acquisition was funded with the proceeds of the equity offering
          described in Note 7, borrowings under the Company's revolving
          credit facility, assumption of $17,620 of existing debt and part
          of the proceeds of the debt offering described in Note 6.

          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 nine months of 1994, mortgage loans,
          secured by twenty properties, with outstanding principal balances
          totalling $47,559 were repaid.

               On June 15, 1994, the Company amended its revolving credit
          facility, among other things, to reduce the interest rate spread
          over LIBOR, to increase the facility to $120,000 and to make the
          facility unsecured.  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 August 30, 1994, the Company increased the facility to
          $170,000.

               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 borrowings under the Company's revolving
          credit facility. The Company expects to apply the balance to fund
          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.

          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.

               On July 7, 1994, the Board of Trustees granted a total of
          12,500 shares under the 1992 Award Plan.  An aggregate of 11,000
          Shares were granted to the Company's President, Chief Financial
          Officer, Treasurer and certain employees of Advisors.  These
          share awards will vest over a three year period, with one-third
          of the shares vesting on the date of grant.  Each of the three
          Indepenedent Trustees was granted 500 shares as part of his
          annual fee.  At September 30, 1994, 972,500 shares remain
          reserved for issuance under the 1992 Award Plan.


          8.   Financing Commitments

               During the quarter ended September 30, 1994, the Company
          provided improvement financing at existing properties of
          approximately $2,492.  As of September 30, 1994, the Company has
          commitments to provide additional improvement financing at
          existing properties totalling approximately $14,333.

          9.   Concentration of Credit Risk

               Substantially all of the Company's assets are invested in
          income producing health care real estate.  At September 30, 1994,
          a total of 56% 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 with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission (SEC) as a part of Marriott's Quarterly Form 10-Q,

               Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1994,
          increased to $23,816,000 from $14,727,000 for the quarter ended
          September 30, 1993.  Rental income increased to $17,864,000 from
          $11,668,000 and interest income increased to $5,952,000 from
          $3,059,000 during the comparable period.  Rental income increased
          primarily as a result of new investments in real estate
          subsequent to September 30, 1993, including the $33,400,000
          Community Care of America (CCA) transaction in December 1993 and
          the $320,000,000 transaction with Marriott International, Inc.
          (Marriott) in 1994.  Interest income increased primarily due to
          the acquisition of three pools of performing mortgage loans
          between May and December, 1993 and the CCA mortgage of
          $26,600,000 in December 1993.

               Total expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1994,
          increased to $8,228,000 from $4,988,000 for the quarter ended
          September 30, 1993.  The increase is the result of increases in
          interest expense, advisory fees and depreciation and amortization
          of $1,119,000, $383,000 and $1,697,000 respectively.  Interest
          expense increased primarily as a result of the $200,000,000
          floating rate senior notes issued in July 1994 in connection with
          the Marriott transaction versus average borrowings in the 1993
          quarter of $106,746,000.

               Income before gain on sale of properties and extraordinary
          item and net income was $15,588,000 or $.27 per share for the
          1994 quarter compared with $9,739,000 or $.28 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 September 30, 1993.  The lower per share
          amounts resulted from the increased total number of shares
          outstanding due to the offering in May 1994.

               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.

          Quarter Ended September 30, 1994 versus 1993 - Continued

          Funds from operations for the 1994 quarter was $19,818,000 or
          $.35 per share for the 1994 quarter and $12,187,000 or $.35 per
          share, for the 1993 quarter.

               The dividends declared which relate to these quarters were
          $18,937,000 or $.33 per share in 1994 and $11,239,000 or $.33 per
          share in 1993.


          Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 versus 1993

               Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
          increased to $61,279,000 from $41,140,000 for the nine months
          ended September 30, 1993.  Rental income increased to $43,865,000
          from $34,520,000 and interest income increased to $17,414,000
          from $6,620,000 during the comparable period.  Rental income
          increased as a result of new real estate investments, including
          the CCA transaction in December 1993 and the $320,000,000
          Marriott transaction in 1994.  The increase in interest income
          reflects the purchases between May and December 1993 of three
          pools of performing mortgage loans and the CCA transaction in
          December 1993.

               Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
          increased to $18,707,000 from $13,456,000 in 1993.  Interest
          expense increased by $1,000,000, primarily as a result of the
          $200,000,000 floating rate senior notes issued in July 1994 in
          connection with the Marriott transaction versus average
          borrowings in 1993 of $101,986,000.  Advisory fees and
          depreciation and amortization increased by $811,000 and
          $3,223,000 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.

               Funds from operations for the nine months ended September
          30, 1994 and 1993 was $53,136,000 ($1.04 per share) and
          $34,825,000 ($1.02 per share), respectively.  Income before gain
          on sale of properties and extraordinary items was $42,572,000
          ($.83 per share) and $27,684,000 ($.81 per share), respectively,
          and net income was $44,613,000 ($.87 per share) and $24,292,000
          ($.71 per share), respectively.  Income before gain on sale of
          properties and extraordinary items increased primarily as a
          result of new investments since September 1993.  Dividends
          declared relating to the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and
          1993 were $52,628,000 ($.99 per share) and $24,292,000 ($.97 per
          share), respectively.

                        OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

               Assets of the Company increased to $847,441,000 at September
          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 $302,196,000
          and $44,719,000, respectively and a decrease in real estate
          mortgages and notes, net, of $32,057,000.  The increase in real
          estate properties is the net result of the acquisition of 14
          retirement communities in connection with the Marriott
          transaction, 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).
          Cash increased as a result of mortgage prepayments and excess
          proceeds from the July debt offering.  Real estate mortgages and
          notes, net, decreased principally due to the prepayment of
          mortgage investments totalling $45,688,000 net of new mortgage
          financings of $13,631,000.

               During the third quarter, the Company completed its
          previously announced transaction 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.  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.  This transaction was funded from
          cash on hand, the proceeds of an equity offering discussed below,
          drawings under the Company's revolving credit facility,
          assumption of $17,620,000 of existing debt bearing interest at
          7.75%, and a portion of the proceeds from a floating rate note
          offering described below.

               One of the Company's tenants which leases HRP's two
          psychiatric facilities has exercised its option to purchase these
          facilities from HRP.  Resolution of the option exercise price is
          presently being determined by an appraisal of the fair market
          value of the properties.  In addition, Horizon has filed a
          registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission (SEC) in which it has indicated a use of proceeds to
          be the acquisition of a long term care facility it currently
          leases from HRP.  Horizon has the option to acquire this facility
          upon 60 days written notice to HRP in connection with an option
          agreement entered into pursuant to the Horizon-Greenery merger.
          As the appraisal process is ongoing for the psychiatric

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES-Continued

          facilities and official written notice of the option exercise has
          not yet been provided by Horizon, it is too early for the Company
          to predict the economic impact of these transactions.  Both
          transactions are expected to occur in early 1995.  The ultimate
          impact will depend on, among other things, the selling price, the
          Company's ability to reinvest the sales proceeds, the timing of
          such new investments and the yield it obtains on such
          investments.  Cash and cash equivalents held by the Company do
          not generate income comparable to income generated when such
          funds are invested in income-producing real estate.  The Company
          therefore continues to seek new investments with yields
          equivalent to or greater than current liquid investments.

               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 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.

               At September 30, 1994, the Company had $58,606,000 of cash
          and cash equivalents and the ability to borrow up to an
          additional $170,000,000 under its revolving credit facility.  At
          September 30, 1994, the Company had outstanding commitments to
          provide $14,333,000 in improvement financing for existing
          investments.  In addition, at September 30, 1994 the Company had
          an outstanding commitment to provide purchase-lease financing of
          $35,000,000 for nine skilled nursing facilities in Vermont and
          New Hampshire.

                        OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES-Continued

               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.  Approximately
          70% of the Company's portfolio is leased to or mortgage financed
          with seven New York Stock Exchange listed companies.  Also,
          Marriott,  which is an A- investment grade rated company, is 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 September 30, 1994, the
          Company's debt as a percentage of total capitalization was
          approximately 26%.  Current expenses and dividends are provided
          for by funds from operations.
