                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Organization

         At September 30, 1999, Senior Housing Properties Trust was a 100% owned
subsidiary  of  HRPT  Properties  Trust  ("HRPT").  The  consolidated  financial
statements of Senior Housing  Properties  Trust ("Senior  Housing")  include the
accounts of 81 properties and 12 mortgage  receivables (the "Properties").

         HRPT  organized  Senior  Housing as a Maryland  real estate  investment
trust on December  16, 1998.  At the time of its  organization,  Senior  Housing
issued 26.4 million shares to HRPT for consideration of $263,748.  Subsequently,
0.4 million shares were cancelled and 26 million shares are currently issued and
outstanding.

         As of December  31, 1998 and for a  substantial  portion of the periods
presented,  the  Properties  and Senior  Housing were owned by HRPT. On or about
June 30, 1999,  the Properties  were  transferred by HRPT to several of its 100%
owned  subsidiaries.  Effective as of September 1, 1999, HRPT  transferred  100%
ownership  of the  several  subsidiaries  which  own the  Properties  to  Senior
Housing.  On October 12, 1999, HRPT  distributed  13.2 million of its 26 million
Senior Housing shares to HRPT's  shareholders (the  "Spin-Off").  Senior Housing
filed an effective  registration  statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to effect the Spin-Off (the "Registration Statement").

         The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Senior
Housing  and of the several  subsidiaries  which own its  Properties.  Operating
results  and cash flows for the  Properties  have been  presented  on a combined
basis with those of Senior Housing for the period prior to September 1, 1999.

Note 2.  Basis of Presentation

         Until the Spin-Off, all of Senior Housing was owned by HRPT, and HRPT's
historical basis has been presented. Prior to the Spin-Off, substantially all of
the rental income and mortgage interest income received by HRPT from the tenants
and  mortgagors of Senior  Housing was deposited in and  commingled  with HRPT's
general  funds,  and cash  required  by Senior  Housing  was  provided  by HRPT.
Interest expense has been allocated based on HRPT's historical  interest expense
as a percentage of HRPT's average  historical  costs of real estate  investments
and  actual  interest  expense  calculated  on the  formation  debt  due to HRPT
discussed in note 7. General and administrative  expenses of HRPT were allocated
to Senior  Housing based on HRPT's  investment  advisory  agreement  formula and
other costs are allocated based on historical expenses as a percentage of HRPT's
average  historical  costs  of  real  estate  investments.  In  the  opinion  of
management,  the methods for allocating  interest and general and administrative
expenses are reasonable. It is not practicable to estimate additional costs that
would have been incurred by Senior Housing as a separate entity.

Note 3.  Interim Financial Statements

         The  financial  statements  of Senior  Housing  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  and  should be read in  conjunction  with the  audited  consolidated
financial  statements  for the year ended  December  31,  1998  included  in the
Registration   Statement.   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.

Note 4.  Pro Forma Information

         The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations
for the three and nine  month  periods  ended  September  30,  1999 and 1998 are
presented to include the effects of the Spin-Off and  borrowings of $200 million
under  the bank  credit  facility  (see note 7),  as if these  transactions  had
occurred on January 1, 1998.  Comparative pro forma  consolidated  statements of
income  for the  three and nine  month  periods  ended  September  30,  1998 are
presented due to the significance of the Spin-Off and related transactions.

         This pro forma information is based in part upon information  contained
in, and should be read in  conjunction  with,  the  Registration  Statement.  In
management's  opinion,  all material pro forma adjustments  necessary to reflect
the effects of the Spin-Off and the related  transactions  have been made.  This
pro forma  information  does not purport to present actual results of operations
if these  transactions  had  occurred  on such  dates or to  project  results of
operations for any future period.

         Funds from  operations  for the three months ended  September 30, 1999,
were $17.6 million,  or $0.68 per share, and $16.7 million,  or $0.64 per share,
for the three months ended  September 30, 1998.  Funds from  operations  for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1999,  were $53.0 million,  or $2.04 per share,

Note 5.  Commitments and Contingencies

         At September 30, 1999, Senior Housing had commitments  aggregating $3.7
million to fund or finance improvements to the Properties.

Note 6.  Transactions with Affiliates

         Concurrent with the Spin-Off in October 1999, Senior Housing entered an
investment  advisory  agreement  with Reit  Management & Research,  Inc.  ("Reit
Management") to provide investment, management and administrative services. Reit
Management  is owned by Gerard M.  Martin  and  Barry M.  Portnoy,  who serve as
managing trustees of Senior Housing.  Reit Management is paid based on a formula
of invested  assets and is also  entitled to an incentive fee paid in restricted
shares based on a formula of growth in per share funds from operations.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 7.  Indebtedness

         In  consideration of the transfers by HRPT of 100% ownership of certain
of the subsidiaries which own the Properties,  Senior Housing agreed to pay $200
million to HRPT (the  "Formation  Debt").  The Formation  Debt bears interest at
HRPT's weighted average cost of debt (7.1% at September 30, 1999).

         In September  1999,  Senior  Housing  entered an  agreement  for a $350
million,  three-year,  interest  only  bank  credit  facility.  The bank  credit
facility is secured by first mortgages on 18 of Senior Housing's  properties and
matures  in 2002.  The  interest  rate is LIBOR  plus  2.0% per  annum  and will
increase by 0.25% if Senior Housing's debt to total capital, as defined, exceeds
50%. The bank credit facility is available for acquisitions, working capital and
for general  business  purposes.  On October 13, 1999, $200 million was borrowed
under the bank credit facility and used to pay the Formation Debt due to HRPT.

Note 8.  Shareholder's Equity

         On  September  21,  1999,   Senior   Housing's   trustees   declared  a
distribution  on common shares with respect to the quarter  ended  September 30,
1999 of $0.60 per share, or approximately  $15.6 million,  which will be paid on
or about November 22, 1999 to shareholders of record as of October 20, 1999.

         In October 1999, the three  independent  trustees were each granted and
issued  500  shares as part of their  annual  fee.  The  shares  granted  to the
trustees vest immediately.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

         The  following  discussion  presents  an  analysis  of the  results  of
operations  of the  properties  we owned  for the three  and nine  months  ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998. This discussion  includes  references to funds from
operations.  Funds from  operations,  or "FFO", as defined in the white paper on
funds from operations  which was approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in
March 1995,  is net income  computed in  accordance  with GAAP,  before gains or
losses from sales of properties and  extraordinary  items, plus depreciation and
amortization  and after  adjustment for  unconsolidated  partnerships  and joint
ventures.  We consider FFO to be an appropriate  measure of  performance  for an
equity  REIT,  along  with  cash  flow  from  operating  activities,   financing
activities  and  investing  activities,  because it provides  investors  with an
indication of an equity REIT's  ability to incur and service debt,  make capital
expenditures,  pay  distributions  and fund other cash needs.  We compute FFO in
accordance with the standards  established by NAREIT which may not be comparable
to FFO  reported by other REITs that do not define the term in  accordance  with
the current NAREIT  definition or that  interpret the current NAREIT  definition
differently.  FFO does not represent cash  generated by operating  activities in
accordance  with GAAP and  should not be  considered  as an  alternative  to net
income,  determined  in  accordance  with GAAP,  as an  indication  of financial
performance or the cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance
with GAAP, as a measure of liquidity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Versus 1998

         For the three months ended  September  30, 1999,  compared to the three
months ended  September 30, 1998,  total revenues  increased by $910,000,  total
expenses  increased  by $746,000 and net income  increased  by  $164,000.  Total
revenues increased due to rent generated from the acquisition of five properties
in  September  1998.  Total  expenses  increased  primarily  because  of  higher
depreciation  of  $942,000  due to property  acquisitions.  Net income was $11.2
million and $11.0  million for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1999 and
1998,  respectively.  On pro forma 26 million  average shares  outstanding,  net
income  per share  would have been  $0.43 and $0.42 for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Funds from  operations  increased  by $1.1 million for the three months
ended  September 30, 1999,  compared to the prior period due to income from five
properties acquired in September 1998.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Versus 1998

         For the nine months  ended  September  30,  1999,  compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1998, total revenues increased by $3.0 million, total
expenses  increased by $3.7 million and net income decreased by $675,000.  Total
revenues increased due to rent generated from the acquisition of five properties
in  September  1998.  Total  expenses  increased  primarily  because  of  higher
depreciation of $3.0 million due to property  acquisitions  and higher allocated
interest  expense as a result of increased  borrowings by HRPT Properties  Trust
("HRPT").  Net income was $33.0  million  and $33.7  million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. On pro forma 26 million average
shares outstanding, net income per share would have been $1.27 and $1.30 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Funds from  operations  increased  by $2.4  million for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1999,  compared to the prior period due to income from five
properties acquired in September 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         In September 1999, our registration statement on Form S-11 was declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the distribution
of 13.2 million of our common shares to HRPT's  shareholders  (the  "Spin-Off").
Prior to the Spin-Off, we had 26 million common shares outstanding, all of which
were owned by HRPT. On October 12, 1999,  HRPT  distributed  13.2 million of our
common shares to HRPT's  shareholders  of record on October 8, 1999.  Our common
shares now trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SNH".

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations - continued

         At September 30, 1999, we had cash and cash equivalents of $170,000 and
pursuant to the Spin-Off in October 1999,  we received  $18.5 million from HRPT.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, cash flows from operating
activities were $47.4 million and $46.9 million,  respectively,  cash flows from
investing activities were $286,000 and $217,000, respectively, and cash used for
financing  activities  was $47.6  million and $47.1  million,  respectively.  We
expect the cash  transferred  to us ($18.5  million)  from HRPT and future  cash
flows from  operating  activities  will be sufficient to meet our short-term and
long-term working capital requirements including our first distribution of $15.6
million or $0.60 per share for the quarter  ending on September 30, 1999,  which
we will pay on or about November 22, 1999.

         On  September  1,  1999,  we  agreed  to pay  HRPT  $200  million  (the
"Formation Debt") in connection with the transfer to us of HRPT's 100% ownership
of the several  subsidiaries that owned our properties.  The Formation Debt bore
interest at HRPT's weighted average cost of debt (7.1% as of September 30, 1999)
and was paid to HRPT on October 13, 1999.

         In September  1999,  we entered into an agreement  for a $350  million,
three-year,  interest only bank credit facility secured by first mortgages on 18
properties.  The interest rate is LIBOR plus 2.0% per annum and will increase by
0.25% if our debt to total  capital,  as defined,  exceeds  50%. The bank credit
facility is available for acquisitions, working capital and for general business
purposes. We have the ability to repay and redraw amounts under this bank credit
facility until its maturity in 2002. Our bank credit facility  documentation has
customary   representations,   warranties,   covenants   and  event  of  default
provisions. The material restrictive financial covenants requires us to:

         -        limit debt to no more than 60% of total capital, as defined;

         -        maintain  a ratio of net  income  plus  interest  expense  and
                  depreciation to interest expense of at least 1.5; and

         -        maintain a tangible net worth,  as defined,  of $450  million,
                  subject to increases based on equity issuances.

         After the  Spin-Off,  we borrowed  $200 million  under this bank credit
facility,  which we used to pay the Formation  Debt to HRPT.  We currently  have
$150 million  available for  acquisitions,  working capital and general business
purposes.

         Total  assets  decreased  by $15.9  million  from $686.3  million as of
December 31, 1998, to $670.4  million as of September 30, 1999.  The decrease is
primarily due to depreciation on real estate properties.

         After  completion  of the  Spin-Off,  in both  the  short-term  and the
long-term,  we intend to acquire  additional  senior housing  properties.  These
purchases  will be initially  funded with excess  working  capital,  if any, and
proceeds of borrowings  under the bank credit  facility.  After  properties  are
acquired,  bank credit facility  borrowings may be repaid with long-term debt or
equity capital.  After completion of the Spin-Off, we have: $200 million of debt
outstanding;  book equity of $443.9  million;  and total real estate assets,  at
historical  cost, of $770 million.  In these  circumstances,  we believe that we
will have sufficient access to capital markets to meet our growth objectives and
refinance our debt as needed. However, access to growth capital will depend upon
numerous  facts,  including  some  beyond  our  control;  and we can  provide no
assurance  that  we  will be able to  raise  additional  capital  in  sufficient
amounts,  or at appropriate  costs,  to fund growth or to repay debt in both the
short-term and the long-term.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations - continued

Year 2000

         Our  in-house  computer  systems are limited to software  and  hardware
developed  by  third  parties  and  installed,  operated  and  monitored  by our
investment advisor, Reit Management & Research, Inc. ("Reit Management"). All of
the computer systems,  which are limited to information systems,  were installed
within the last two years.  All of the  critical  enterprise  wide  systems  are
warrantied in writing to be year 2000  compliant by the  manufacturers  and have
been tested by Reit Management.  These systems include the network hardware, the
network operating system,  the desktop  operating system,  business  application
software,  financial accounting software and communication software.  Other than
those operated by our tenants,  we have no critical  non-information  technology
systems,  and no such systems are provided to us by Reit  Management.  All costs
associated with our computer systems are borne by Reit Management.

         All of our  properties  are  leased  on a triple  net basis and are not
managed  by us.  Ninety-seven  percent of our  tenants  are  operated  by public
companies which have filed reports containing year 2000 preparedness information
with the SEC. The leases require the tenants to conduct the daily  operations of
the properties and the scope of the tenants'  responsibility  includes  ensuring
preparedness for the year 2000.  Because of our leases, the only actions that we
can take with respect to our  properties  is to inquire of our tenants,  monitor
our tenants' SEC filings and evaluate their year 2000 preparedness plans for all
systems, including financial and nonfinancial systems such as elevators, heating
and ventilation  and life safety  systems.  Six of our nine tenants that operate
97% of our  investments  have  responded in writing to our  inquiries  regarding
their preparedness for issues related to the year 2000. Based on these responses
and tenant  public  disclosures  which we have  reviewed,  we  believe  that our
tenants are in the process of studying  their  systems and the systems for their
vendors,  suppliers  and service  providers  to ensure  preparedness  but to our
knowledge  none of our tenants have yet reported  they are year 2000  compliant.
Current  levels of  preparedness  are varied  and  include  partially  completed
inventory and assessment of potential risks,  testing,  implementation  of plans
for  remediation  and  reprogramming.  While we believe  that the efforts of our
tenants  described  in their  responses  and in  their  public  filings  will be
adequate  to address  year 2000  concerns,  there can be no  guarantee  that all
tenant  operations and those of their vendors and payers,  including federal and
state  Medicare and Medicaid  systems,  will be year 2000  compliant on a timely
basis and will not have a material effect on us.

         If our efforts and the efforts of our vendors,  customers  and tenants,
and their  customers and vendors to prepare for the year 2000 were  ineffective,
the operation of our properties could be subject to significant adverse effects,
including,  but not  limited  to,  loss of  business  and growth  opportunities,
reduced  revenues and increased  expenses which might cause operating  losses to
our tenants.  Continued or severe  operating losses may cause one or more of our
tenants to default on their leases. Numerous lease defaults could jeopardize our
ability to maintain our financial  results of  operations,  meet our  financial,
operating  and  capital   obligations  and  timely  pay  our   distributions  to
shareholders.

         In  particular,  the worst case scenario  which we can envision at this
time is that some of our  tenants  may be unable to pay their  rents on a timely
basis because some of their payment sources,  such as Medicare or Medicaid,  are
delayed. In these  circumstances,  we may be unable to meet our debt obligations
or to timely pay distributions.

         We do not currently  have a contingency  plan in place in the event we,
or our tenants,  do not successfully remedy year 2000 compliance issues that are
identified  in a timely  manner or fail to  identify  any year 2000  issues.  We
continue  to  evaluate  the  status  of our year 2000  compliance  plan and will
determine whether a contingency plan is necessary.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         We are exposed to market changes in interest rates. Because interest on
all our outstanding  debt is at a floating rate,  changes in interest rates will
not affect the value of our outstanding debt  instruments.  However,  changes in
interest rates will affect our operating results. For example, the interest rate
payable on our  outstanding  indebtedness of $200 million at September 30, 1999,
is 7.1% per annum.  An immediate  10% change in that  interest  rate or 71 basis
points, would increase or decrease our costs by $1.4 million, or $0.05 per share
per year:

                       Impact of Changes in Interest Rates
                             (dollars in thousands)

                                                                 Total Interest
                              Interest          Outstanding       Expense Per
                            Rate Per Year          Debt              Year
                            --------------     --------------   ----------------
At September 30, 1999             7.10%           $200,000          $14,200
10% reduction                     6.39%            200,000           12,780
10% increase                      7.81%            200,000           15,620

         The  foregoing  table  presents a  so-called  "shock"  analysis,  which
assumes that the interest rate change by 10%, or 71 basis  points,  is in effect
for a whole year. If interest rates were to change  gradually over one year, the
impact would be less.

         We borrow in U.S. dollars and all of our current borrowings are subject
to interest at LIBOR plus a premium.  Accordingly,  we are vulnerable to changes
in U.S. dollar based short-term rates, specifically LIBOR.

         During the past few months, short-term U.S. dollar based interest rates
have  tended  to rise.  We are  unable to  predict  the  direction  or amount of
interest  rate changes  during the next year. We have decided not to purchase an
interest rate cap or other hedge to protect against future rate  increases,  but
we may enter such agreements in the future.  Also, we may incur  additional debt
at floating or fixed rates,  which would increase our exposure to market changes
in interest rates.

         We currently own mortgage  receivables  with a carrying  value of $37.5
million.  When comparable term market interest rates decline, the value of these
receivables  increases;  when  comparable  term market  interest rates rise, the
value of these  receivables  declines.  Using discounted cash flow analyses at a
weighted  average  estimated  per year  market  rate for  September  30, 1999 of
10.75%, the estimated fair value of our mortgage receivables was $38.4 million.

         An immediate  10% change in the market rate of  interest,  or 108 basis
points,  applicable  to our mortgage  receivables  at September  30,1999,  would
affect the fair value of those receivables as follows:

                                          Carrying Value
                      Interest Rate         of Mortgage          Estimated
                         Per Year           Receivables          Fair Value
                      ---------------    ------------------    ---------------
                                      (dollars in thousands)
Estimated market           10.75%             $37,540              $38,372
10% reduction               9.67%              37,540               40,917
10% increase               11.83%              37,540               36,057

         If the market rate changes occurred  gradually over time, the effect of
these changes would be realized gradually.  Because our mortgage receivables are
fixed rate instruments,  changes in market interest rates will have no effect on
our operating results unless these receivables are sold. At this time, we expect
to hold our existing  mortgages to their  maturity and not to realize any profit
or loss from trading  these  mortgage  receivables.  Also,  we do not  presently
expect to expand our mortgage investments.

         The interest  rate changes that affect the  valuations of our mortgages
are U.S.  dollar  long-term  rates for corporate  obligations  of companies with
ratings similar to our mortgagors.

Part II Other Information

Item 5.  Other Information

         Mariner Post-Acute  Network,  Inc., which leases 11% of our investments
and pays 18% of annual rents,  reported a loss of $405.7 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999 and in October 1999  announced that it did not make interest
payment on its bank credit  facility and some of its senior  subordinated  debt.
Integrated  Health Services,  Inc., which leases 29% of our investments and pays
30% of annual rents,  reported a loss of $4.6 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1999 and in November 1999 announced that it did not make interest payment on
some of its senior  subordinated  debt.  Genesis Health  Ventures,  Inc.,  which
leases 2% of our  investments  and pays 2% of annual  rents,  reported a loss of
$1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.  As of November 12, 1999,  all
of these tenants were in compliance with their obligations to us.

         One  of  our  smaller  tenants,  The  Frontier  Group  ("Frontier"),  a
privately held company which leases 2% of our  investments and pays 2% of annual
rents.  Sun Healthcare  Group,  Inc. ("Sun  Healthcare") is also obligated under
this  lease.  In July  1999  and  October  1999,  Frontier  and Sun  Healthcare,
respectively filed for  reorganization  under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Currently, these nursing homes are being operated by a court appointed receiver.
We are negotiating to collect rent,  including  arrearages of approximately $1.1
million through November 1, 1999, from Sun Healthcare,  Frontier or the receiver
and to find a substitute tenant or for a possible sale of the properties.  Also,
we are preparing,  if necessary, to operate these properties for our own account
until the properties are leased to a substitute tenant or sold to a third party.
