                     HEALTH CARE REIT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all 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 for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2001, are not
necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

NOTE B - REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company invested $2,164,000 in
real property, made construction advances of $6,777,000 and funded $273,000 of
equity related investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the
Company received principal payments on real estate mortgages of $24,738,000.

With respect to the above-mentioned construction advances, funding for
construction in progress in connection with four properties owned directly by
the Company totaled $4,694,000, and funding associated with two construction
loans represented $2,083,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, one
of the construction properties in progress with an investment balance of
$9,027,000 completed the construction phase of the Company's investment process
and was converted to permanent operating leases.

NOTE C - EQUITY INVESTMENTS

Management determines the appropriate classification of an equity investment at
the time of acquisition and reevaluates such designation as of each balance
sheet date. At March 31, 2001, equity investments include the common stock of a
corporation, valued at historical cost, and ownership representing a 31%
interest in Atlantic Healthcare Finance L.P., a property investment group that
specializes in the financing, through sale and leaseback transactions, of
nursing homes located in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. The
ownership interest is accounted for under the equity method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per

The diluted earnings per share calculation excludes the dilutive effect of
1,350,000 and 1,813,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively, because the exercise price was greater than the average
market price. The Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock was not
included in this calculation as the effect of the conversion was anti-dilutive.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 2001, the Company's net real estate investments totaled
$1,102,232,000 which included 148 assisted living facilities, 43 nursing
facilities and ten specialty care facilities. Depending upon the availability
and cost of external capital, the Company anticipates making additional
investments in health care related facilities. New investments are funded from
temporary borrowings under the Company's line of credit arrangements, internally
generated cash and the proceeds derived from asset sales. Permanent financing
for future investments, which replaces funds drawn under the line of credit
arrangements, is expected to be provided through a combination of private and
public offerings of debt and equity securities and the assumption of secured
debt. The Company believes its liquidity and various sources of available
capital are sufficient to fund operations, meet debt service and dividend
requirements and finance future investments.

During 1999 and 2000, the underperformance of publicly owned nursing home and
assisted living companies, combined with the much publicized shift in equity
funds flow from income-oriented investments to high-growth opportunities,
impaired the stock valuations of all health care REITs. The availability of
external capital is limited and expensive, constraining new investment activity
and earnings growth. The Company believes the restrictive capital environment
will continue until the prospects for the long-term care industry improve.

In October 1999, the Company announced a $200 million asset divestiture program
from which the Company has received $195,000,000 in proceeds through March 31,
2001. The Company believes the limited asset sales and loan prepayments have
strengthened the Company's portfolio and generated liquidity, enhancing the
Company's balance sheet. The completion of this program should position the
Company for new investment and growth opportunities in the future.

As of March 31, 2001, the Company had a total outstanding debt balance of
$430,135,000 and shareholders' equity of $694,835,000 which represents a debt to
equity ratio of .62 to 1.0, and a debt to total capitalization ratio of .38 to
1.0.

As of March 31, 2001, the Company had an unsecured revolving line of credit
expiring March 31, 2003 in the amount of $150,000,000 bearing interest at the
lender's prime rate or LIBOR plus 1.5%. In addition, the Company had an
unsecured revolving line of credit in the amount of $25,000,000 bearing interest
at the lender's prime rate expiring April 30, 2002. At March 31, 2001, under the
Company's line of credit arrangements, available funding, subject to customary
lending conditions, totaled $64,700,000.

As of March 31, 2001, the Company had effective shelf registrations on file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under which the Company may issue up to
$380,319,000 of securities including debt, convertible debt, common and
preferred stock. Depending upon market conditions, the Company anticipates
issuing securities under such shelf registrations to invest in additional health
care facilities and to repay borrowings under the Company's line of credit
arrangements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company generated increased
rental income as a result of the completion of real property construction
projects for which the Company began receiving rent and the purchase of
properties previously financed by the Company. This offset a reduction in
interest income due to the repayment of mortgage loans and the purchase of
properties previously financed by the Company with mortgage loans. Commitment
fees and other income decreased as a result of the completion of construction
projects and curtailment of investing activity.

Expenses were comprised of the following:

                            ============          ==============          ================


The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average borrowings
on the Company's lines of credit and senior notes partially offset by a
reduction in the amount of capitalized interest offsetting interest expense. The
Company capitalizes certain interest costs associated with funds used to finance
the construction of properties owned directly by the Company. The amount
capitalized is based upon the borrowings outstanding during the construction
period using the rate of interest which approximates the Company's cost of
financing. Capitalized interest for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001
totaled $334,000 as compared with $1,220,000 for the same period in 2000.

The provision for depreciation increased over the comparable periods in 2000
primarily as a result of additional investments in properties owned directly by
the Company.

General and administrative expenses for the three-month period was 5.68% of
revenues as compared with 5.44% for the same period in 2000.
