                                      HRE PROPERTIES
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
    accounts of HRE Properties ("the Trust"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, and
    certain joint ventures where the Trust has the ability to control the 
    affairs of the venture.  All significant intercompany transactions and 
    balances have been eliminated.  The financial statements have been prepared 
    in accordance
    with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
    information.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
    in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles have been omitted.  In the opinion of management, all
    adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
    for a fair presentation have been included.  Results of operations for the
    three-month period ended April 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of 
    the
    results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 1994.  It is
    suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
    financial statements and notes thereto included in the Trust's annual report
    for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1993.

 2. The Trust accounts for its leases of real property in accordance with the
    provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 13,
    "Accounting for Leases."  This statement sets forth specific criteria for
    determining whether a lease should be accounted for as an operating lease or
    a financing lease.  In general, the financing lease method applies where
    property is under long-term lease to a credit worthy tenant and the present
    value of the minimum required lease payments is at least 90% of the value of
    the property.  Other leases are accounted for as operating leases.

 3. In December 1993, the Trust acquired a 296,000 square foot retail shopping
    center located in Meriden, Connecticut for a purchase price of $25 million. 
    The property was acquired subject to a nonrecourse first mortgage loan of 
    $15 million.  The mortgage loan bears interest at an annual rate of 7.5% 
    for a five-year term with interest only due monthly for the first two years 
    and monthly installments of principal and interest until maturity.  
    In connection with this acquisition, the Trust used the proceeds of its 
    $5 million line of credit arrangement to complete the purchase.  
    The Trust currently pays interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 2.75% 
    on oustanding borrowings.

 4. The Trust has entered into a contract to purchase a 10,000 square foot 
    office property located in Greenwhich, Connecticut at a purchase price of 
    $550,000 all cash.  The transaction closed in May, 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

  The Trust believes that the financial resources currently available to it are
sufficient to meet all of its known obligations and commitments and to make
additional real estate investments when appropriate opportunities arise.  
At April 30, 1994, the Trust had $4.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and 
current liabilities of approximately $.9 million.  Long-term debt consists of 
mortgage loans totaling $42.1 million, of which approximately $350,000 in 
principal payments are due in fiscal 1994.  During fiscal 1994 the Trust 
obtained proceeds of $18 million from nonrecourse first mortgage loan 
financings.  The loans are collateralized by two of the Trust's properties.  
The Trust also has a $5 million unsecured line of credit with a major 
commercial bank.  In connection with the acquisition of the Trust's Townline 
shopping center, Meriden Connecticut, the Trust has fully drawn on the line 
of credit.  The line of credit expires on September 1, 1994 and it is 
anticipated that the line of credit will be repaid from proceed
a mortgage loan financing, sales of property or may be extended by the Lender.

  The Trust expects to make new real estate investments periodically.  The
funds for such investments may come from existing liquid assets, lines of 
credit, proceeds from property sales, financing of acquired or existing 
properties or the sale of mortgage notes receivable.  In the first quarter 
of fiscal 1994, the Trust acquired a 296,000 square foot shopping center in 
Meriden, Connecticut.  The total purchase price was $25 million consisting 
of $10 million cash (including $5 million drawn from the Trust's line of 
credit arrangement) and first mortgage financing of $15 million.  The first 
mortgage bears interest at 7.5% per annum and matures in five years.  
In May 1994, the Trust also acquired an office building located
Greenwich Connecticut.  The 10,000 square foot property was acquired at a 
purchase price of $550,000, all cash.  The Trust also invests in its existing 
properties and during the first half of fiscal 1994, spent approximately 
$1,134,000 on its properties for capital improvement and leasing costs.  

      The Trust sold its distribution property located in Memphis, Tennessee 
and net leased to the tenant at a net sale price of $450,000, all cash.  The
transaction closed during the Trust's second quarter and the Trust realized 
a gain on the sale of $82,000.
      


Results of Operations:
- - - ----------------------

  "Funds from operations" (net income before gains on sales of properties and
non-recurring items, adjusted for non-cash charges and credits, recoveries of
investment in properties owned subject to financing leases and cash 
distributions received from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures) is 
an important financial measure of the Trust's operating performance.  Funds 
from operations for the three-months ended April 30, 1994 increased to 
$1,962,000 from $1,802,000 in the second quarter a year ago.  Net income for 
the second quarter of fiscal 1994 was $654,000 or $.12 per share compared to 
a net loss of $730,000 or $.14 per share for the comparable period in 1993.

  For the first six months of fiscal 1994, net income was $1,200,000 or $.22
per share compared to a net loss of $636,000 or $.12  per share in the year ago
period.  Fiscal 1993 results include non cash charges aggregating $3.3 million 
to writedown the carrying values of two of the Trust's office building 
investments to their respective net realizable values.  The investments were 
subsequently disposed of during fiscal 1993.


Revenues:
- - - ---------

  Operating lease income from retail properties increased by $1,767,000 or 47%
in the first half of fiscal 1994 compared to the prior year's period primarily 
from the added rental revenues of the Trust's retail property acquisitions in
Farmingdale, New York and Meriden, Connecticut.  Operating lease income from 
office properties declined by $1,356,000 principally from the disposition of 
the Trust's office building investment in Portland, Oregon during fiscal 1993 
and lower occupancy at the Trust's Denver, Colorado office building.  The 
Trust recently signed leases totaling 22,400 square feet of space at that 
property. 

Expenses:
- - - ---------

  General and administrative expenses decreased to $754,000 in the first six-
month period of fiscal 1994 from $971,000 in the comparable period last year.  A
portion of the decrease is attributable to the amount of administrative costs
allocated to specific property operating costs as a result of the Trust's
assumption of direct property management responsibilities at its retail 
properties. These properties were previously managed by third-party management 
firms under fee arrangements.

  The decrease in consulting fee expense resulted from the termination last
year of a consulting arrangement with a Trustee in consideration of a lump sum
payment which was paid in 1993's first quarter.

  The increase in interest expense is attributable to the addition of $24.6
million of mortgage notes payable obtained in fiscal 1993 and in the first 
quarter of fiscal 1994.  The mortgage notes bear interest at an average annual 
rate of approximately 7.7%.

  The Trust recorded gains on sales of properties of $82,000 or $.01 per share
and $2,330,000 or $.44 per share during the six month period ended April 30, 
1994 and 1993, respectively.  The gains were recorded in connection with the 
sales of single tenant net leased properties.
