                      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 ended January 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 in the Trust's annual report for the fiscal year
          ended October 31, 1994.

 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 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.

4.        In December 1994, the Trust sold a participating mortgage note 
          receivable for net proceeds of $3,750,000 which amount approximated 
          the Trust's net carrying value of the asset.

Item 2    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 
funds from 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 fee 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 January 31, 1995, the Trust had $3.9
million in cash and cash equivalents.  The Trust also has available $17 
million in unsecured lines of credit with two major commercial banks.  
Long-term debt consisted of nine mortgage notes payable totalling $57.5 
million, of which $411,000 in principal payments are
due in fiscal 1995.  Current liabilities, including current installments of 
principal payments of mortgage notes payable and short-term 
borrowings under credit lines, were approximately
$6.4 million.  The credit lines 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 expire  at various periods in 1995 and 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 in 1995.

          During the Trust's first fiscal quarter, the Trust sold a 
participating mortgage note receivable with a face amount of $4,836,000.  
The mortgage note receivable was written down to its net realizable value of 
$3,750,000 in fiscal 1994 and sold at such amount.

          The Trust has entered into contracts to sell four of its 
distribution and service properties with an aggregate carrying value of 
$4.5 million to a single purchaser for an aggregate sale price of $13.5 
million.  The Trust has also contracted to sell a 106,000 square
foot retail property with a net carrying value of $.8 million for $7.5 
million.  The transactions are expected to close in fiscal 1995.  
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.

          The Trust 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 January 1995, the Trust acquired a 193,000 
square foot shopping center 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 quarter of fiscal 1995, spent approximately $.9 million 
on its properties for capital improvements and leasing costs.

Results of Operations:

          The Trust defines "funds from operations" as net income excluding 
gains on sales of properties, adjusted for noncash charges and 
credits, recoveries of investment in properties owned subject to 
financing leases and cash distributions received from unconsolidated joint
ventures.  The Trust believes the level of funds from operations to be an 
appropriate supplemental financial measure of the Trust's operating 
performance.  Funds from operations for the three-month period ended 
January 31, 1995 increased 14% to $2,106,000 from the comparable period in 
fiscal 1994.  The improvement is primarily the result of the positive
effect of the Trust's new retail property investments in fiscal 1994.


Revenues:

          Operating lease revenues increased by approximately $839,000 
or 22.4% in the first three-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 was acquired 
by the Trust in January 1995 and the Meriden property was acquired in 
December 1993.  Operating lease income from office properties increased 
by $180,000 or 15% from the year ago period reflecting higher
occupancy at the Trust's Denver Colorado office building where the Trust 
signed leases totaling more than 60,000 square feet of space last year.


Expenses:

          Total expenses were $4,595,000 in the Trust's first quarter of 
fiscal 1995 compared to $3,516,000 in the prior period.  The largest 
expense category is operating expenses of the Trust's real estate 
operating properties.  Operating expenses totalled $1,855,000 for the first
three months of fiscal 1995, compared to $1,704,000 for the same period in 
1994.  Expenses increased less than 3% for properties owned during 
both 1994 and 1993.  Operating expenses for the Trust's new retail properties 
added expenses of $1,231,000 in fiscal 1995.

          Interest expenses rose to $1,148,000 for the first three months of 
fiscal 1995 due to the addition of several new mortgage notes payable 
aggregating $33.7 million during fiscal 1994 and 1995.  The mortgage notes 
bear fixed interest at annual rates ranging from 7.5% to 9.75%.
