                                   (Unaudited)

(1)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The  unaudited  financial  information  furnished  herein,  in  the  opinion  of
management,  reflects all adjustments that are necessary  to  state  fairly  the
financial  position, the results of operations, and cash flows  of  Health  Care
Property Investors, Inc. and its affiliated subsidiaries and joint ventures (the
"Company").    The  Company  presumes  that  users  of  the  interim   financial
information herein have read or have access to the audited financial  statements
and  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results  of
Operations  for the preceding fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 and  that  the
adequacy  of  additional disclosures needed for a fair presentation,  except  in
regard   to   material  contingencies,  may  be  determined  in  that   context.
Accordingly, footnotes and other disclosures that would substantially  duplicate
the disclosures contained in the Company's most recent annual report to security
holders  have been omitted.  The interim financial information contained  herein
is  not  necessarily  representative of a full  year's  operations  for  various
reasons including acquisitions, changes in rents, interest rates and the  timing
of  debt and equity financings.  These same considerations apply to all year-to-
year comparisons.

Facility Operations:

During 1997, the Company purchased 90 - 100 percent ownership interests in seven
medical  office  buildings ("MOBs") which are operated by  independent  property
management  companies  on  behalf of the Company.   These  MOBs  are  leased  to
multiple  tenants under gross or triple net leases.  Any income attributable  to
these  properties,  other  than  Base Rental Income,  is  recorded  as  facility
operating revenue and is included in Interest and Other Income. Expenses related
to the operation of these MOBs are recorded as Facility Operating Expenses.

Reclassifications:

Reclassifications  have been made, where applicable, for  comparative  financial
statement presentations.

(2)  MAJOR OPERATORS

Listed  below are the Company's major operators and the percentage of annualized
revenue from these operators and their subsidiaries. Each of these operators  is
subject to the informational filing requirements of the Securities Exchange  Act
of  1934, as amended, and accordingly file periodic financial statements on Form
10-K  and 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Except as otherwise
indicated,  all  of  the financial and other information presented  herein  with
respect to such companies was obtained from such public reports.

On May 1, 1998, Vencor, Inc. ("Old Vencor") completed a spinoff transaction 
pursuant to which it became two publicly held entities - Ventas, Inc. 
("Ventas"),  a real estate company which  intends to qualify as a REIT, and 
New Vencor, a healthcare  company which  at  June 30, 1998 leased 42 of the 
Company's properties.  As of June 30, 1998, 36% of  annualized  revenue on 
facilities leased  to New Vencor  relates to facilities  sub-leased and operated
by other providers. Both Ventas and New Vencor are responsible for payments due 
under the New Vencor leases and substantially all are guaranteed by Tenet.

Based upon public reports, Old Vencor's pre spin-off revenue and net income
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were approximately $823.3 million and 
$18.9 million, respectively; Old Vencor's total assets and stockholders'
equity as of March 31, 1998 were approximately $3.4 billion and $930.8 million, 
respectively. Based upon public reports, Old Vencor's revenue and net income 
for the  year  ended December 31,  1997  were  approximately  $3.1  billion and
$130.9  million, respectively; Old Vencor's total assets and stockholders' 
equity as of December 31, 1997 were approximately $3.3 billion and $905.4 
million, respectively.

Based upon a recent press release, New Vencor's revenue, loss excluding non-
recurring transactions and net loss for the three months ended  June  30, 1998 
(which includes the combined results of the predecessor company for all periods 
prior to May  1, 1998) were approximately $778.7 million, $23.5 million and 
$101.4 million, respectively.

Based  upon a recent press release, Ventas' revenue, income from operations and
net  income  for  the two months ended June 30, 1998 since commencing operations
were  approximately  $37.4  million,  $8.2 million  and  $228,000, respectively.
Ventas'  total  assets and stockholders' deficit as of June 30, 1998 was $961.2
million and $39.4 million, respectively.

Tenet  leases and those guaranteed by Tenet represented approximately 17% of the
Company's  total annualized revenue as of June 30, 1998. During 1998, 14  of the
New Vencor  leases  expire.  As of June 30, 1998, 12 of these leases have been 
re-leased or have agreements to re-lease in place with other operators.

(3)  ISSUANCE OF SENIOR DEBT

During June 1998, the Company issued $200,000,000 of senior unsecured debt in 
the form of 6.875% MandatOry Par Put Remarketed Securities ("MOPPRS") due  June
8, 2015 which are subject to mandatory tender on June 8, 2005.  The Company 
received total  proceeds of approximately $203,000,000 including the present 
value of  the put option at June 8, 2005 associated with the debt instrument.   
The option  is being  amortized to interest expense over 17 years. The weighted 
average cost  of the debt including the amortization of the option and offering 
expenses is 6.77%. The  proceeds  were  used  to repay outstanding borrowings  
under  the  Company's revolving lines of credit.

</TABLE>

During  April 1998, the Company sold 698,752 shares of common stock at  $33.2217
per  share.  The net proceeds of approximately $23,000,000 were used to pay down
short-term borrowings under the Company's revolving lines of credit.

(5)  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

In  1997,  the  Company adopted Statement of Financial Accountings Standards No.
128,  Earnings Per Share, effective December 15, 1997.  As a result, both basic
and diluted earnings per common share are presented for each of the quarters and
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. In prior years, only basic earnings per
common share data was disclosed.  Basic earnings per common share is computed by
dividing net income applicable to common shares by the weighted average number 
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per 
common share is calculated using only dilutive securities.  The convertible 
debt  and options to purchase shares of common stock which have an exercise 
price in excess of the average market price during the periods presented are 
not included because they are not dilutive.

(6)  FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Under  Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,  Disclosures  about
Segments  of an Enterprise, effective beginning in 1998, the Company is required
to  report information about its operations on the basis that the information is
used internally for evaluating the Company's performance.

The  Company  believes  that  Funds  From Operations  ("FFO")  is  an  important
supplemental  measure of operating performance.  Historical cost accounting  for
real  estate  assets  implicitly assumes that the value of  real  estate  assets
diminishes  predictably  over  time.  Since  real  estate  values  instead  have
historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating
results  for a real estate investment trust that uses historical cost accounting
for  depreciation could be uninformative.  The term FFO was designed by the real
estate investment trust industry to address this problem.


The Company adopted the definition of FFO prescribed by the National Association
of  Real  Estate  Investment Trusts ("NAREIT").  FFO is defined  as  net  income
applicable  to  common  shares (computed in accordance with  generally  accepted
accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring  and
sales  of  property,  plus  real estate depreciation  and  real  estate  related
amortization,  and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships  and  joint
ventures.   Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint  ventures  are
calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

FFO  does  not represent cash generated from operating activities in  accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative  of
cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative
to  net  income.   FFO,  as defined by the Company, may  not  be  comparable  to
similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts that do
not define it exactly as the NAREIT definition.

Below  are summaries of the calculation of FFO and FFO per share of common stock
(all amounts in thousands except per share amounts):

(7)  COMMITMENTS

As  of August 7, 1998, the Company has outstanding commitments on closed and to-
be-closed development transactions of approximately $68,000,000 and $97,000,000,
respectively.    The   Company  is  also  committed  to  acquire   approximately
$78,000,000  of  existing health care real estate. The Company  expects  that  a
significant  portion  of these commitments will be funded;  however,  experience
suggests  that some committed transactions will not close. Transactions  do  not
close   for   various  reasons  including  unsatisfied  pre-closing  conditions,
competitive financing sources, final negotiation differences and the  operator's
inability to obtain required internal or governmental approvals.

(8)  NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS

In  June  1998,  the  Financial Accounting Standards Board issued  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and  Hedging  Activities.  The Statement establishes  accounting  and  reporting
standards   requiring  that  every  derivative  instrument  (including   certain
derivative  instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the  balance
sheet  as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement
requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently  in
earnings  unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special  accounting
for  qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset  related
results  on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company
must  formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions
that receive hedge accounting.

Statement  133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June  15,  1999.  A
company  may  also  implement the Statement as of the beginning  of  any  fiscal
quarter  after issuance (that is, fiscal quarters beginning June  16,  1998  and
thereafter). Statement 133 cannot be applied retroactively. Statement  133  must
be  applied to (a) derivative instruments and (b) certain derivative instruments
embedded  in  hybrid  contracts  that were issued,  acquired,  or  substantively
modified after December 31, 1997 (and, at the company's election, before January
1, 1998).

We  have  not  yet  quantified  the impacts of adopting  Statement  133  on  our
financial  statements and have not determined the timing of  or  method  of  our
adoption of Statement 133. However, the effect is not expected to be material.

(9)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On  July 16, 1998 the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of  $0.66
per  common share payable on August 20, 1998, to shareholders of record  on  the
close of business on August 3, 1998.

The  Board of Directors also declared a cash dividend of $0.492188 per share  on
its  Series  A  cumulative  preferred stock.  This  dividend  will  be  paid  on
September  30,  1998 to shareholders of record as of the close  of  business  on
September 15, 1998.
