         Certain reclassifications have been made for the period January 1,

         The Company was organized to invest in healthcare-related properties
located throughout the United States, including ancillary hospital facilities,
medical office buildings, physician clinics, long-term care facilities,
comprehensive ambulatory care centers, clinical laboratories and ambulatory
surgery centers.  In addition to acquisitions of existing facilities, the
Company provides capital for the construction of new facilities and through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Healthcare Realty Management Incorporated, provides
property management, leasing and build-to-suit development services.  As of
March 31, 1996, the Company had purchased, developed or had under development,
65 properties (the "Properties") for an aggregate investment of $346,308,878

NOTE 3.  FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

         Funds from operations, as defined by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") 1995 White Paper, means net income
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles),
excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
depreciation from real estate assets.

         The Company considers funds from operations to be an informative
measure of the performance of an equity REIT and consistent with measures used
by analysts to evaluate equity REITs.  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 as an
indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash
flow as a measure of liquidity.  Funds from operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, were $6,735,694 ($0.52 per share) and $6,307,622
($0.49 per share), respectively.

         NAREIT encourages REITs to make reporting changes consistent with the
1995 NAREIT White Paper on Funds from Operations no later than fiscal year
1996.  The Company's policy will be to report funds from operations for 1996
calculated on the NAREIT 1995 White Paper while providing supplemental
information based upon previous methodology.

ITEM 2.            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



OPERATING RESULTS

First Quarter 1996 Compared to First Quarter 1995

         Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $8,982,907
compared to $7,894,137 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, which is an
increase of $1,088,770, or 14%.  The increase is primarily due to base rent
derived from approximately $24,000,000 of property acquisitions and properties
reclassified from construction in progress subsequent to March 31, 1995.  In
addition, revenues during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 reflect an increase
of $219,315, or 376% of property management fees (see Note 5).  At March 31, 
1996, the Company managed 40 properties compared to five properties at March 
31, 1995.  Interest and other income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were
$121,161 compared to $14,116 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 primarily due
to an increase in third party development fees.

         Total expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $4,224,724
compared to $3,388,865 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, which is an
increase of $835,859, or 25%.  Depreciation expense increased $228,215 due to
the acquisition of additional properties and the completion of properties under
construction which were discussed in the preceding paragraph.  There was no
significant change in general and administrative expenses.  Interest expense
increased from $997,752 during the first quarter of 1995 to $1,560,608 during
the first quarter of 1996.  As previously discussed in the notes to the
financial statements, on September 18, 1995, the Company privately placed
$90,000,000 of its unsecured 7.41% Senior Notes with sixteen credit
institutions.  During the first quarter of 1995, the Company had an average
outstanding debt balance of $48,100,000 in comparison to an average outstanding
balance of $96,200,000 during the first quarter of 1996.  Amortization
increased from $36,476 during the first quarter of 1995 to $90,411 during the
first quarter of 1996 due to an increase in amortization of revenue producing
management and development contracts acquired in the Starr Sanders Johnson,
Inc. acquisition (see Note 5).

         As of March 31, 1996, the Company had purchased, developed or had
under development, 65 properties (the "Properties") for an aggregate investment
of $346,308,878 located in 35 markets in 14 states, which are supported by to
14 healthcare-related entities.  The Properties include 34 ancillary hospital
facilities, 3 medical office buildings, 7 physician clinics, 13 long-term care
facilities, 3 comprehensive ambulatory care centers, 2 clinical laboratories,

facilities, and the assumption of bonds.

         On September 18, 1995, the Company privately placed $90,000,000 of its
Senior Notes.  The Senior Notes bear interest at 7.41% and mature on September
1, 2002 (see Note 4).  During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the remaining
$9.1 million of proceeds from the Senior Notes was disbursed by the Company.

         The Company currently has a $75,000,000 Senior Credit Facility from
four commercial banks that expires in August 1997 (see Note 4).  At March 31,
1996, $6,500,000 was outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, which
results in a remaining borrowing capacity of $68,500,000.

         At March 31, 1996, $2,970,000 of serial and term bonds were 
outstanding.

         At March 31, 1996, the Company had stockholders' equity of
$233,166,353.  The debt to total capitalization ratio was approximately 0.30 to
1.00 at March 31, 1996.

         During the quarter ended March 31, 1996:

         The Company provided the initial funding for two 57,035 square foot
long-term care, build-to-suit developments in Wichita, Kansas and Westminister,
Colorado which have a total commitment of $7,294,000 and $7,460,000,
respectively.  These properties were funded from Company operations and
proceeds borrowed under the Senior Credit Facility.

         In total, the Company funded $13,379,352 for construction in progress
and capital additions.  The sources of these funds were cash provided by
Company operations and borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, and
remaining proceeds of the Senior Notes.


         On February 15, 1996, the Company paid a dividend of $0.47 per share
to the holders of its common stock as of the close of business on February 2,
1996.  This dividend related to the period from October 1, 1995 through
December 31, 1995.

         In April 1996, the Company announced payment of a dividend of $0.475
per share to the holders of common shares on May 2, 1996.  The dividend will be
paid on May 15, 1996.  The dividend relates to the period January 1, 1996
through March 31, 1996.  The Company presently plans to continue to pay its
quarterly dividends, with increases consistent with its current practice.  In
the event that the Company cannot make additional investments in 1996 because
of an inability to obtain new capital by issuing equity and debt securities,
the Company will continue to be able to pay its dividends in a manner
consistent with its current practice.  No assurance can be made as to the
effect upon the Company's ability to increase its quarterly dividends during
periods subsequent to 1996, should access to new capital not be available to 
the Company.

         As of March 31, 1996, the Company had a net investment of $26,392,711
for eight build-to-suit developments in progress and one expansion of an
existing facility, which have a total remaining funding commitment of
$39,710,827.  These commitments will be funded from Company operations and
proceeds borrowed under the Senior Credit Facility which had a remaining
borrowing capacity of $68,500,000 at March 31, 1996.

         As of March 31, 1996, the Company, in the normal course of business,
had entered into a contract to acquire a comprehensive ambulatory care center
in Venice, Florida for approximately $6,750,000.  The company also had entered
into a definitive agreement to purchase an ancillary hospital facility in
Fountain Valley, California for approximately $15,000,000.  The facility,
currently under construction and financed by a commercial bank, will be
purchased upon completion.  The Company will either assume the existing debt or
fund the acquisition from proceeds borrowed under the Senior Credit Facility.

         During 1995, the Company filed a shelf registration statement
pertaining to $250,000,000 of equity securities, debt securities, and warrants.
Such registration statement has been declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  The Company intends to offer securities under such
registration statement from time to time to finance future acquisitions and
build-to-suit developments as they occur.  The Company may, under certain
circumstances, borrow additional amounts in connection with the renovation or
expansion of its properties, the acquisition or development of additional
properties or, as necessary, to meet distribution requirements for REITs under
the Code.  The Company may raise additional capital or make investments by
issuing, in public or private transactions, its equity and debt securities, but
the availability and terms of any such issuance will depend upon market and
other conditions.  Although management believes that the Company will be able
to obtain additional financing or capital on terms acceptable to the Company in
sufficient amounts to meet its liquidity needs, there can be no assurance that
such additional financing or capital will be available on terms acceptable to
the Company.

         Under the terms of the leases and other financial support agreements
relating to the properties, tenants or healthcare providers are generally
responsible for operating

expenses and taxes relating to the properties.  As a result of these
arrangements, the Company does not believe that it will be responsible for any
major expenses in connection with the properties during the respective terms of
the agreements.  The Company anticipates entering into similar arrangements
with respect to any additional properties it acquires.  After the term of the
lease or financial support agreement, or in the event the financial obligations
required by the agreement are not met, the Company anticipates that any
expenditures it might become responsible for in maintaining the properties will
be funded by cash from operations and, in the case of major expenditures,
possibly by borrowings.  To the extent that unanticipated expenditures or
significant borrowings are required, the Company's cash available for
distribution and liquidity may be adversely affected.

         The Company's future results of operations will be influenced by the
terms of any subsequent investments the Company may make, as well as its
ability to generate revenues from the management and development services
performed by Healthcare Realty Management.  There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to purchase or develop additional properties or to lease
to others on suitable terms or to successfully market that services offered by
Healthcare Realty Management.

         Management believes that inflation should not have a materially
adverse effect on the Company.  The majority of the leases contain some
provision for additional rent payments based on increases in various economic
measures.  These additional rent payments have not been significant to date.
