                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
               and  nine-month  periods   ended  July  31,  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 outstanding borrowings.

          4.   In June, 1994, the Trust  obtained a commitment from a major
               commercial mortgage  fund  for  a  seven-year  $4.5  million
               first mortgage  loan at a fixed  interest rate  of 9.75% per
               annum.   The loan will be  secured by retail property with a
               net book carrying amount of $5.9 million.

          5.   In September 1994, the Trust contracted to sell  its 106,000
               square  foot retail  property located in  Manassas, Virginia
               for a  cash  price of  $7.5  million.   The  transaction  is
               expected to close in the next fiscal year.

                      PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

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

          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  July 31,
          1994, the Trust had $3.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and
          current liabilities  of  approximately $1.0  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.   The  Trust also  has $15  million  in unsecured  lines of
          credit with two commercial banks.  As of July 31, 1994, the Trust
          has drawn $5    million under  one of the  lines of credit.   The
          lines of  credit  expire at  periods  to April,  1995 and  it  is
          anticipated that outstanding borrowings,  if any, under the lines
          of  credit  will  be repaid  from  proceeds  of  a mortgage  loan
          financing, sales of property  or may be extended by  the lenders.
          During fiscal 1994 the  Trust also obtained $18 million  from two
          nonrecourse  first  mortgage  loan  financings.   The  loans  are
          collateralized by two of the Trust's properties.

               In June 1994, the Trust  obtained a $4.5 million nonrecourse
          first mortgage  loan commitment from a  major commercial mortgage
          fund.  The loan will be secured by one of the Trust's properties.
          The  mortgage loan closed in September 1994 and proceeds from the
          loan may be used to make new real estate investments.
            
               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  in   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 nine-months  of
          fiscal 1994, spent approximately $1,451,000 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-month and nine-month periods ended
          July  31,  1994  increased  to  $2,026,000  and  $5,837,000  from
          $1,592,000 ans  $5,069,000 respectively in the  year ago periods.
          Net income for  the three-month and nine-month periods ended July
          31, 1994  was $584,000 or $.11  per share and $1,782,000  or $.34
          per  share compared to  a net loss of  $(4,648,000) or $(.88) per
          share and $(5,284,000) or $(1.00) per share, respectively for the
          comparable periods in 1993.

          Item 2    Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of   Financial
                    Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

          Results of Operations (continued)

                 The  three-month and  nine-month  periods in  fiscal  1993
          included non cash  charges aggregating $4,985,000  and $8,285,000
          respectively to writedown  the carrying values of  certain of the
          Trust's former office building investments to their estimated net
          realizable   values  at   that  time.     The   investments  were
          subsequently disposed of during fiscal 1993.

          Revenues:

               Operating  lease income from  retail properties increased by
          approximately  $2.9 million  in the  first nine-months  of fiscal
          1994 compared to the prior year's period primarily from the added
          rental  revenues  of the  Trust's  retail  properties located  in
          Farmingdale, New York and Meriden, Connecticut.  These properties
          were recently acquired by the Trust.  Operating lease income from
          office   properties  declined  by  $1.2  million  reflecting  the
          disposition  of  the   Trust's  office  building  investment   in
          Portland, Oregon in the  second quarter of 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 the Denver property. 

          Expenses:

               General and administrative expenses  decreased in the three-
          month and nine-month periods  from the amount of  costs allocated
          to property operating  real estate  expenses as a  result of  the
          Trust's  strategic   decision  to  assume   the  direct  property
          management  responsibilities at  most of  its retail  properties.
          These  retail properties  were previously managed  by third-party
          management firms pursuant to fee arrangements.

               The decrease  in consulting  fee expense  resulted from  the
          termination of a consulting arrangement  with a trustee in 1993's
          first quarter.

               The  increase in  interest expense  in the  three-month  and
          nine-month  periods  is due  to  interest  expense on  additional
          mortgage notes payable  in the principal amount  of $24.6 million
          obtained in fiscal  1993 and  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
          first  nine  months of  fiscal  1994  and  1993, respectively  in
          connection  with sales  of single  tenant net  leased properties.
          There were no sales of  properties during the three-month periods
          ended July 31, 1994 and 1993.
