                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of HRE Properties ("the Trust"), its wholly-owned
subsidiary, and a joint venture in which 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
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  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, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending October 31,1995.
It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
n the Trust's annual report for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1994.


Properties Available for Sale


 Properties available for sale are carried at the lower of cost or net
 realizable value less estimated costs of disposal.  A property is classified
 as available for sale upon determination by the Trustees that the property
 is to be marketed for sale in the normal course of business over the 
 next several years.

  In September 1995, the Trustees authorized a plan to sell non-core properties
 of the Trust over the next several years.   The non-core properties total
 eleven properties and consist of all of the Trust's office and
 distribution and service properties and certain retail properties located
outside of the Northeast region of the U.S.  These properties, having a net
carrying amount of $48,488,000, have been classified as Properties available
for sale in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 31, 1995.
As a result of this change in investment strategy
with respect to the non-core properties, the Trust recorded a charge in the
accompanying 1995 consolidated statement of income of $7,000,000 to
adjust the carrying value of properties available for sale to the
lower of cost or net realizable value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED
Properties

In January 1995, the Trust acquired a 193,000 square foot retail shopping
center located in Danbury, Connecticut for a purchase price of
$19.25 million.  The property was acquired subject to
a nonrecourse first mortgage loan of $11.25 million.  The mortgage loan
bears interest at an annual rate of 9.5% for a five-year term with interest
only due monthly.

Sales of Properties

In April, 1995, the Trust sold three industrial properties net leased
to a single tenant for net cash proceeds of $9,827,000 resulting in gains
on sales of the properties for financial
accounting purposes of $5,502,000.  The sales were structured as tax-deferred
exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and as a result,
the proceeds from the sales are being held on deposit.
The proceeds are expected to be used to complete the purchase of one or more
replacement properties within six months of the sale transaction closing
dates.  In the event that the Trust does not complete the exchange
of properties within the prescribed period the proceeds
will be paid to the Trust and the gains on sales will be included in the Trust's
taxable income for fiscal year 1995.

The Trust has signed a contract to sell a retail property having a net
carrying amount of $850,000 for a cash price of approximately $7.1 million.

Bank Line of Credit

In June 1995, the Trust renewed one of its unsecured lines of credit with a
commercial bank, for a period of one year.  The line of credit in the
amount of $10 million was amended to provide for the
issuance of letters of credit, as part of the total line of credit, up to
a maximum of $4,300,000.  Borrowings under the line of credit are at
a rate of prime plus 1/2% per annum.  There were no amounts outstanding
under this line of credit at July 31, 1995.

Commitment

In August 1995, the Trust signed a contract to purchase a 126,000 square foot
retail shopping center located in Carmel, New York.  The property is to be
acquired at a purchase price of $7,350,000.  The transaction is scheduled
to be completed in fiscal 1995 and is expected to be funded from the
proceeds of a tax-deferred exchange of properties.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources:


The Trust meets its liquidity requirements primarily by generating cash from
the operations of its properties, sale of real estate investments and
collection of principal and interest on its mortgage notes receivable.
Payments of expenses related to real estate operations, capital
improvement programs, debt service, management and professional fees
and dividend requirements place demands on the Trust's liquidity.

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, 1995, the Trust had $4.3 million in cash and cash
equivalents.  Current liabilities, including current installments of 
principal payments of mortgage notes payable and short-term
borrowings under unsecured bank lines of credit, were approximately
$6.1 million.  The bank lines of credit are available to finance the
acquisition, management or development of commercial real estate and
a portion of such credit lines is available for working
capital purposes.  The credit lines totalling $17 million will  expire at
various periods in 1996.  One line of credit for $10 million was amended
to provide for the issuance of letters of credit up to
$4.3 million.  Outstanding borrowings, if any, may be repaid from proceeds of
additional debt financings or sales of properties. 
The Trust may also request that the time for
repayment be extended by the banks.  It is the Trust's intent to renew
these credit lines as they expire.  At July 31, 1995 outstanding borrowings
under one of the credit line facilities amounted to $5,000,000. 
Long-term debt consisted of nine mortgage notes payable totalling $57.3 million,
of which $91,000 in principal payments are due in fiscal 1995. 

In September 1995, the Board of Trustees of the Trust authorized a plan to
sell non-core properties of the Trust in the normal course of business over the
next several years.  The non-core properties total eleven properties, having
an aggregate net carrying amount of $48,488,000,
and comprise all of the Trust's office, distribution and service facilities,
and certain retail properties located outside of the Northeast region
of the United States.  As a result of this change in investment strategy,
with respect to the non-core properties, the Trust recorded a
charge in the statement of income of $7,000,000 to write down the
carrying value of two of the non-core properties to their estimated
net realizable values.

The Trustees have refined and expanded the Trust's strategic objective to
refocus the real estate portfolio into one of self-managed retail
properties located in the Northeast.  During the last four years, the Trust
has selectively sold or disposed of properties which the Trust
determined no longer fit into its strategic plan and redeployed the proceeds
of sale and new mortgage debt into primarily retail properties.
Since fiscal 1992, the Trust has acquired nearly $66 million of retail
properties in the Northeast.

The Trust believes that economic conditions in the real estate markets where
the Trust's non-core properties are located have improved and that
opportunities to sell those properties over the next several years
have also improved.  In this connection, the Trust has received a
letter of intent from a purchaser to sell one of its distribution and
service properties with a net carrying amount of $1.2 million for a
cash price of approximately $3.22 million.  The Trust has also
contracted to sell a retail property with a net carrying amount of $850,000
for a sale price of $7.1 million.  The transactions are expected to close
in fiscal 1995 or shortly thereafter.  The proceeds from such sales may be
used to make additional real estate investments and/or reduce outstanding
mortgage loan indebtedness or meet dividend distribution requirements.

In April, 1995, the Trust sold three industrial properties net leased to a
single tenant for net cash proceeds of $9,827,000 resulting in gains on
sales of the properties of $5,502,000.  The sales were structured
as tax-deferred exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue
and as a result, the proceeds from the sales are being held on deposit.
The proceeds are expected to be used to complete the
purchase of one or more replacement properties within six months of 
the sale transaction closing dates.  In the event that the Trust does not
complete the exchange of properties within the prescribed period
the proceeds will be paid to the Trust and the gains on sales will be
included in the Trust's taxable income for fiscal year 1995.

The Trust also expects to make additional real estate
investments periodically.  The funds for
such investments may come from existing liquid assets,
line of credit arrangements, proceeds from
property sales, financing of acquired or existing properties
or the sale of mortgage notes
receivable.  In August 1995, the Trust entered into a contract to
purchase a 126,000 sf shopping
center located in Carmel, New York at a purchase price of $7,350,000.  
The Trust expects to use
the proceeds from the tax-deferred exchanges referred to above
to fund the acquisition costs.  In
January 1995, the Trust also acquired a 193,000 square foot
shopping center located in Danbury,
Connecticut.  The property was acquired at a purchase price of
$19.25 million and funded through a
first mortgage loan of $11.25 million and available cash.  The first
mortgage bears interest at 9.5%
per annum and matures in five years.  The Trust also invests in its
 existing properties and, during
the first nine months of fiscal 1995, spent approximately $1.7 million on
 its properties for capital
improvements and leasing costs.

Results of Operations

Revenues
Total revenues for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended July 31, 1995 were $5,816,000
and $16,591,000 compared to $4,819,000 and $14,066,000 for
the similar periods in fiscal 1994.

Operating lease revenues increased by $2,514,000 or 20.5%
in the first nine-months of fiscal
1995 compared to the prior year's period primarily from the additional
rents of the Trust's retail
properties located in Danbury,
Connecticut and Meriden, Connecticut.  The Danbury, Connecticut
property known as Danbury Square Shopping Center
was acquired by the Trust in January, 1995 and
the Meriden, Connecticut property known as Townline
Shopping Center was acquired in December,
1993.  Rents from all retail properties increased 25.2%
to $10,647,000 in the first nine-months of
fiscal 1995.  Gross rents from office properties increased 
by $386,000 or 10.6% to $4,017,000 in
the first nine-months of fiscal 1995 from the year ago
period principally due to higher occupancy
at the Trust's Denver Colorado office building where the
Trust signed leases with new tenants
totaling more than 60,000 square feet of space last year.  

Operating Expenses
Total expenses were $21,599,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1995
compared to $12,366,000 for the same period last year.  In connection
with a change in investment strategy, the Trust
recorded a charge of $7,000,000 in fiscal 1995 to reflect the carrying
amounts of two non-core properties at their estimated
net realizable values.  (See Liquidity and Capital Resources for
further discussion).  The largest expense category is property
operating expenses of the Trust's properties.  Property expenses
totalled $5,803,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1995,
compared to $5,473,000 for the same period in 1994.  Expenses for properties
owned in both fiscal 1995 and 1994 were virtually unchanged,
 while expenses for the Danbury property acquired earlier
this year contributed additional expenses of $327,000 for the first nine
months of fiscal 1995.

Interest expense rose to $3,887,000 for the first nine months of
fiscal 1995 from the addition of three mortgage notes payable
totaling $30.7 million obtained in fiscal 1994 and early fiscal
1995.  The mortgage notes are at annual fixed interest rates ranging
from 7.5% to 9.75%.  Interest on outstanding borrowings under
the Trust's lines of credit are tied to the prime rate or LIBOR and
increased to 8.4375% at April 30, 1995 from 6 3/8% the year ago period.  
At July 31, 1995 the Trust had outstanding borrowings of $5,000,000
under such lines of credit.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $3,532,000 in the first nine
months of fiscal 1995 from $3,001,000 for the same
period in fiscal 1994 principally from the acquisition of three
properties at an aggregate cost of $45.2 million in fiscal
1994 and 1995 and capital expenditures
for tenant improvements and deferred charges of $3.1 million
during the same periods.
