(1)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We,  the  management of Health Care Property Investors, Inc., believe  that  the
unaudited   financial  information  contained  in  this  report   reflects   all
adjustments  that  are  necessary to state fairly the  financial  position,  the
results of operations, and cash flows of the Company.  The Company is defined as
Health  Care Property Investors, Inc. and its affiliated subsidiaries and  joint
ventures.  We presume that users of this interim financial information 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.  Therefore,  notes  to  the  financial
statements and other disclosures that would repeat the disclosures contained  in
our  most  recent  annual report to security holders have  been  omitted.   This
interim  financial  information does not necessarily  represent  a  full  year's
operations  for  various reasons including acquisitions, changes  in  rents  and
interest rates, and the timing of debt and equity financings.

Facility Operations:

During 1997 and 1998, we purchased 90 - 100 percent ownership interests in  nine
medical  office  buildings ("MOBs") that are operated  by  independent  property
management  companies  on  our behalf.  We lease these  facilities  to  multiple
tenants  under  gross  or  triple net leases.   Any  income  relating  to  these
properties, other than rental income, is recorded as facility operating  revenue
and  is included in Interest and Other Income. Expenses related to the operation
of these facilities are recorded as Facility Operating Expenses.

Reclassifications:

We  have  made  reclassifications, where necessary,  for  comparative  financial
statement presentations.

(2)  MAJOR OPERATORS

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.  New Vencor currently leases 40 of the Company's
properties, of which 17 are leased to various sublessees.  Both Ventas  and  New
Vencor  are  responsible  for  payments due under  the  New  Vencor  leases  and
substantially all of the New Vencor leases are guaranteed by Tenet.

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 issued by New Vencor, for the three  months
ended September 30, 1998, New Vencor had revenue of approximately $718.1 million
and  a  net  loss,  excluding non-recurring transactions, of approximately  $1.1
million.   For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, New Vencor had  revenue
of approximately $2.3 billion and a net loss (including an extraordinary loss of
$77.9 million) of approximately $44.9 million.

Based upon a recent press release issued by Ventas, Ventas' revenue, income from
operations  and net income for the three months ended September  30,  1998  were
approximately $56.2 million, $13.0 million and $12.9 million, respectively.   As
of  September  30,  1998,  Ventas  had total assets  of  $960.0  million  and  a
stockholders' deficit of  $24.2 million.

Tenet leases and those guaranteed by Tenet represented approximately 16% of  the
Company's total annualized revenue as of September 30, 1998.  During 1998, 14 of
the New Vencor leases that were guaranteed by Tenet expired.  All of the related
properties have been re-leased, have agreements to re-lease in place with  other
operators,  or  have  other  agreements in  principle  and  will  no  longer  be
guaranteed by Tenet.

Based upon a recent press release issued by Emeritus, for the three months ended
September  30, 1998, Emeritus had revenue of approximately $39.0 million  and  a
net  loss  of approximately $7.1 million.   For the nine months ended  September
30,  1998,  Emeritus  had revenue of $110.8 million and  a  net  loss  of  $25.0
million.   Based  upon public reports, as of June 30, 1998, Emeritus  had  total
assets of $212.0 million and a stockholders' deficit of $26.9 million.

(3)  GAIN ON SALE OF REAL ESTATE

The Company sold three facilities and a partnership interest in another facility
during the third quarter, resulting in a gain of $6,230,000.  In addition, three
financing leases and a mortgage loan receivable were paid off.

(4)  ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK

On  September  4, 1998, the Company issued 5,385,000 shares of  8.70%  Series  B
Cumulative   Redeemable  Preferred  Stock  which  generated  net   proceeds   of
$130,000,000  (net  of  underwriters' discount  and  other  offering  expenses).
Dividends  on  the  Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears  in  March,
June,  September and December, commencing with the quarter ending September  30,
1998.   The Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to September 30, 2003, after
which  date  the  Preferred Stock may be redeemable at par  ($25  per  share  or
$134,625,000  in the aggregate) any time for cash at the option of the  Company.
The  Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, will not be subject to any  sinking
fund or mandatory redemption and is not convertible into any other securities of
the  Company.   The  proceeds were used to pay off short-term  bank  debt.   The
remainder was invested in short-term investments pending future acquisition  and
development activity.

(6)  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

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
nine  months  ended  September 30, 1998 and 1997.  In prior  years,  only  basic
earnings  per  common share 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 including  the  effect  of  dilutive
securities.  Options  to purchase shares of common stock that  had  an  exercise
price  in  excess  of the average market price of the common  stock  during  the
period  were  not included because they are not dilutive.  The convertible  debt
was  included only in those periods when the effect on earnings per common share
was dilutive.

(7)  FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

We  are required to report information about our operations on the basis that we
use  internally  to measure performance under Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  No.  131,  Disclosures about Segments  of  an  Enterprise,  effective
beginning in 1998.

We believe that Funds From Operations ("FFO") is our most important supplemental
measure  of  operating  performance.  Because  the  historical  cost  accounting
convention  used  for  real  estate assets requires  straight-line  depreciation
(except  on  land) such accounting presentation implies 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 less informative.  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.

(8)  COMMITMENTS

As  of November 2, 1998, the Company has acquired real estate properties and has
outstanding commitments to fund development of facilities on those properties of
approximately $84,000,000.

The  Company is also committed to acquire approximately $268,000,000 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. The letters of intent representing such commitments
permit  either  party  to  elect not to go forward with  the  transaction  under
various  circumstances.   We may not close committed  transactions  for  various
reasons  including  unsatisfied  pre-closing conditions,  competitive  financing
sources,  final  negotiation differences or the operator's inability  to  obtain
required internal or governmental approvals.

(9)  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.  Statement  133  is
effective  for  fiscal  years beginning after June 15,  1999,  although  earlier
implementation is allowed.

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.

During  May  1998,  the  Emerging  Issues Task  Force  (EITF)  Issue  No.  98-9,
Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods, was released.   The
issue  as  it  relates to the Company is how we as a lessor should  account  for
contingent  rental  income  during  interim periods  that  is  based  on  future
specified targets within our fiscal year.  In other words, if the target revenue
on  which  contingent rents are based has not yet been achieved for the  current
year,  the  contingent  rent  should not be recognized.   Recognition  would  be
allowed once the specified target is reached.

<PAGE>

Because  the  vast  majority  of our contingent rents  are  based  on  quarterly
revenues,  we feel that our current policy of recognizing additional rent  on  a
quarterly  basis is proper.  Therefore the effect of adopting EITF 98-9  is  not
material to our financial condition or results of operations.

(10)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On  October  20,  1998 the Board of Directors declared a quarterly  dividend  of
$0.67  per common share payable on November 20, 1998, to shareholders of  record
on the close of business on November 3, 1998.

The  Board of Directors also declared a cash dividend of $0.492188 per share  on
its  Series A cumulative preferred stock and $0.54375 per share on its Series  B
cumulative preferred stock.  These dividends will be paid on December  31,  1998
to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 15, 1998.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL

The Company is in the business of acquiring health care facilities that we lease
on  a long-term basis to health care providers. On a more limited basis, we have
provided mortgage financing on health care facilities. As of September 30, 1998,
the Company's portfolio of properties, including equity investments, consisted 
of 302 facilities located in 42 states. These facilities are comprised of 145 
long-term care facilities, 83 congregate care and assisted living facilities, 39
physician group practice clinics, 21 medical office buildings, seven acute care
hospitals, six freestanding rehabilitation facilities and one psychiatric  care
facility. The gross acquisition price of the properties, which includes joint
venture acquisitions, was approximately $1,343,000,000 at September 30, 1998.

We  have  commitments to purchase and construct health care facilities  totaling
approximately $352,000,000 for funding during 1998 and 1999.  We expect  that  a
significant  portion of these commitments will be funded but that a portion  may
not   be   funded   (see  Note  (8)  to  the  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial
Statements).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net  Income  applicable  to common shares for the three  and  nine months ended
September 30,  1998 totaled $22,836,000 and $55,679,000 or $0.72 and $1.81  of
diluted earnings per share  on  revenue  of  $42,166,000  and   $116,448,000,
respectively. This compares to $15,553,000 and $48,066,000 or $.54 and $1.66 of
diluted earnings per share  on  revenue  of  $32,307,000  and  $94,925,000,
respectively, for the same periods in 1997. Net Income for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998 included a $6,230,000 and $6,742,000, or $0.18
and $0.20 per diluted share, gain on the sale of real estate properties.  Net
Income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 included a  $2,047,000  or
$0.07 per diluted share gain on the sale of real estate properties.

Base Rental Income for the three and nine months ended September  30,  1998
increased  by  $6,508,000  and  $15,310,000 to $30,075,000 and $83,647,000 as
compared to the same period in the prior year.  The majority of the increase in
Base Rental Income was generated by new investments of approximately 
$250,000,000 and $262,000,000 made during 1998 and 1997. Interest and Other 
Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased  
$3,076,000 and $5,695,000 to $6,608,000 and $16,462,000.  The increase was 
primarily from growth in  the  lending portfolio and from an increase in income 
from the operations  of nine  medical  office  buildings purchased during  1997
and  1998.   There  were $1,466,000 and $3,211,000 in related Facility Operating
Expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998.

Interest Expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 
increased by  $2,844,000  and  $5,320,000.  The increase is  primarily  the  
result  of  an increase in short-term borrowings used to fund the acquisitions
made during  1998 and  interest related to the MOPPRS senior debt issuance
during June  1998.   The increase  in  Depreciation/Non Cash Charges for the 
three and nine  months  ended September 30, 1998 of $1,845,000 and $4,694,000 
to $8,366,000 and $23,750,000  is the direct result of the new investments 
made during 1997 and 1998.

<PAGE>

We  believe  that  Funds  From Operations ("FFO") is an  important  supplemental
measure  of  operating performance.  (See Note (7) to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.)

FFO  for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased $3,230,000
and  $8,442,000 to $24,307,000 and $70,573,000, respectively.  The  increase  is
attributable  to increases in Base Rental Income and Interest and Other  Income,
as  offset  by  increases in Interest Expense and Facility  Operating  Expenses,
which are discussed above.

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  we defined it, may not be comparable  to  similarly
entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts that do  not  use
the NAREIT definition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  Company has financed acquisitions through the sale of common and  preferred
stock,  issuance of long-term debt, assumption of mortgage debt, use  of  short-
term  bank lines and through internally generated cash flows.  Facilities  under
construction  are  generally financed by means of cash  on  hand  or  short-term
borrowings under our existing bank lines. At the completion of construction  and
commencement of the lease, short-term borrowings used in the construction  phase
are  generally refinanced with new long-term debt, including Medium  Term  Notes
("MTNs"), or with equity offerings.

SENIOR DEBT OFFERINGS
- ---------------------
During  June 1998, the Company issued $200 million of 6.875% MandatOry  Par  Put
Remarketed Securities ("MOPPRS") due June 8, 2015 which are subject to mandatory
tender   on  June  8,  2005.   We   received  total  proceeds  of  approximately
$203,000,000  (including the present value of a put option associated  with  the
debt)  which was used to repay borrowings under our revolving lines  of  credit.
The  weighted average cost of the debt including the amortization of the  option
and offering expenses is 6.77%.  The MOPPRS are senior, unsecured obligations of
the Company.

<PAGE>

EQUITY OFFERINGS
- ----------------
During the past year, we have completed four equity offerings.  On September 26,
1997,  we  issued  $60,000,000, 7-7/8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable  Preferred
Stock.   During December 1997 we raised $55,000,000 of equity in a common  stock
offering of 1,437,500 shares at $38.3125 per share.  During April 1998, we  sold
698,752 shares of common stock in a common stock offering at $33.2217 per share.
On  September  4,  1998  we  issued  $135,000,000,  8.70%  Series  B  Cumulative
Redeemable   Preferred  Stock.   We  used  the  net  proceeds  of   $57,810,000,
$51,935,000,  $23,000,000 and $130,000,000 from the respective equity  offerings
to pay down or pay off short-term borrowings under the Company's revolving lines
of  credit.   We invested any excess funds in short-term investments until  they
were needed for acquisitions or development.

At September 30, 1998, stockholders' equity totaled $592,871,000 and the debt to
equity  ratio was 0.99 to 1.00.  For the nine months ended September  30,  1998,
FFO (before interest expense) covered Interest Expense 3.64 to 1.00.

AVAILABLE FINANCING SOURCES
- ---------------------------
During  June  1998,  the  Company registered $600,000,000  of  debt  and  equity
securities  under a shelf registration statement filed with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.  As of September 30, 1998 we had $518,280,000 remaining  on
shelf  filings  for  future financings.  Of that amount,  we  had  approximately
$202,905,000 available under our MTN senior debt programs. These amounts may  be
issued  from time to time in the future based on Company needs and then existing
market  conditions.  On September 30, 1998 we renegotiated our lines  of  credit
with  a  group of seven banks.  We have two revolving lines of credit,  one  for
$135,000,000  that  expires on September 30, 2003 and one for  $45,000,000  that
expires  on  September 30, 1999. As of September 30, 1998, the Company  had  all
$180,000,000  available on these lines of credit.   Since 1986 the  debt  rating
agencies  have  rated  our  Senior  Notes  and  Convertible  Subordinated  Notes
investment grade. Current ratings are as follows:

                      Moody's     Standard & Poor's     Duff & Phelps
                    --------------------------------------------------
Senior Notes             Baa1            BBB+               A-
Convertible
  Subordinated Notes     Baa2            BBB               BBB+

Since inception in May 1985, the Company has recorded approximately $664,786,000
in  cumulative FFO.  Of this amount, we have distributed a total of $558,111,000
to  stockholders as dividends on common stock.  We have retained the balance  of
$106,675,000 and used it as an additional source of capital.

At September 30, 1998, the Company held approximately $41,000,000 in irrevocable
letters  of  credit  from  commercial banks to secure the  obligations  of  many
lessees' lease and borrowers' loan obligations.  We may draw upon the letters of
credit  if  there  are  any  defaults under the leases  and/or  loans.   Amounts
available  under  letters of credit could change based upon  facility  operating
conditions and other factors and such changes may be material.

<PAGE>

We paid the third quarter 1998 dividend of $0.66 per common share or $20,436,000
in  the  aggregate  on August 20, 1998.  Total dividends paid  during  the  nine
months  ended September 30, 1998, as a percentage of FFO was 85%.   The  Company
declared  a  fourth quarter dividend of $0.67 per common share or  approximately
$20,752,000 in the aggregate, payable on November 20, 1998.

FACILITY ROLLOVERS
- ------------------
The   Company  has  concluded  a  significant  number  of  "facility   rollover"
transactions  in  1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 on properties that have  been  under
long-term  leases  and  mortgages. "Facility rollover" transactions  principally
include lease renewals and renegotiations, exchanges, sales of properties,  and,
to a lesser extent, payoffs on mortgage receivables.

1995   Completed 20 facility rollovers including the sale

1996   Completed 20 facility rollovers including the sale
       of nine facilities in Missouri and the exchange of
       the Dallas Rehabilitation Institute for the HealthSouth
       Sunrise Rehabilitation Hospital in Fort Lauderdale,
       Florida.                                                     (1,200,000)

1997   Completed 12 facility rollovers.                             (1,600,000)

1998   Completed or agreed to complete 37 facility rollovers
       including the sale of ten facilities and the payoff of
       three mortgage loans.                                        (2,100,000)
     
</TABLE>

Through December 31, 2000, we have 29 more facilities that are subject to  lease
expiration,  mortgage maturities or purchase options (which management  believes
may  be  exercised).  These facilities currently represent approximately 13%  of
annualized revenues.

During   1997,  the  Company  reached  agreement  with  Tenet  (the  holder   of
substantially all the option rights of the New Vencor leases) and  with  Beverly
Enterprises, Inc. ("Beverly") whereby they agreed to waive renewal and  purchase
options, and related rights of first refusal, on up to 57 facilities. As part of
these  agreements, we have the right to continue to own the facilities.   Leases
on  27 of those 57 facilities had expiration dates through December 31, 2000. We
have  increased  rents on six of the facilities with leases  that  have  already
expired  during  1998, and believe we will be able to increase  rents  on  other
facilities  whose lease terms expire through 2001.  However,  there  can  be  no
assurance  that  we  will  be  able to realize any  increased  rents  on  future
rollovers. The Company has completed certain facility rollovers earlier than the
scheduled  lease expirations or mortgage maturities and will continue to  pursue
such opportunities where it is advantageous to do so.

We  believe that the Company's liquidity and sources of capital are adequate  to
finance  its  operations  as  well  as  its  future  investments  in  additional
facilities.

<PAGE>

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Year 2000 issue is the result of widely used computer programs that identify
the  year by two digits, rather than by four.  It is believed that continued use
of  these programs may result in widespread computer-generated malfunctions  and
miscalculations beginning in the year 2000, when the digits "00" are interpreted
as "1900."  Those miscalculations could cause disruption of operations including
the  temporary inability to process transactions such as invoices  for  payment.
Those  computer  programs that identify the year based on all  four  digits  are
considered  "Year  2000  compliant."  The statements in  the  following  section
include  "Year  2000 readiness disclosure" within the meaning of the  Year  2000
Information and Readiness Disclosure Act of 1998.

STATUS OF YEAR 2000 ISSUES WITH THE COMPANY'S OWN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS
AND  NON-IT SYSTEMS.  The Company's primary use of information technology ("IT")
is in its financial accounting systems, billing and collection systems and other
information management software.  The Company's operations are conducted out  of
its  corporate offices in Newport Beach, California where it uses and is exposed
to  non-IT  systems  such  as  those contained in embedded  micro-processors  in
telephone  and  voicemail  systems,  elevators,  heating,  ventilation  and  air
conditioning  (HVAC)  systems,  lighting timers,  security  systems,  and  other
property operational control systems.

We  believe  that we do not have significant exposure to Year 2000  issues  with
respect  to our own accounting and information software systems or with  respect
to non-IT systems contained in embedded chips used in our corporate offices.  We
have  been working with our computer consultants to test and continually upgrade
our  management  information systems and we have reasonable assurance  from  our
vendors   and  outside  computer  consultants  that  our  financial  and   other
information  systems are Year 2000 compliant.  The cost to bring our  management
information systems into Year 2000 compliance has not been material.  While  any
disruption in services at our corporate offices due to failure of non-IT systems
may  be  inconvenient and disruptive to normal day-to-day activities, it is  not
expected  to  have  a  material adverse effect on our financial  performance  or
operations.

EXPOSURE  TO  THIRD  PARTIES' YEAR 2000 ISSUES.   Because  we  believe  our  own
accounting and information systems are substantially Year 2000 compliant, we  do
not  feel  there  will be material disruption to our transaction  processing  on
January  1, 2000.  However, the Company depends upon its tenants for  rents  and
cash  flows, its financial institutions for availability of working capital  and
capital  markets financing and its transfer agent to maintain and track investor
information.  If our primary lessees and mortgagors are not Year 2000 compliant,
or  if  they  face disruptions in their cash flows due to Year 2000 issues,   we
could  face significant temporary disruptions in our cash flows after that date.
These disruptions could be exacerbated if the commercial banks that process  our
cash  receipts and disbursements and our lending institutions are not Year  2000
compliant.  Furthermore, to the extent there are broad market disruptions  as  a
result  of  widespread Year 2000 issues, our access to the  capital  markets  to
raise cash for investing activity could be impaired.

To  address  this  concern, during the second quarter of 1998,  we  commenced  a
written survey of all of our major tenants, Bank of New York in its capacity  as
agent  under  our  credit  facilities, and as common stock  Transfer  Agent  and
Trustee  under  our senior debt indenture, each other lender  under  our  credit
facility, our primary investment banker for our capital raising activities,  and
our  independent public accountants and our primary outside legal counsel.   Our
survey  asked  each respondent to assess its exposure to Year  2000  issues  and
asked  what  preparations each has made to deal with the Year  2000  issue  with
respect to both information technology and non-IT systems.  In addition we asked
each  respondent  to  inform us about their exposure  to  third  party  vendors,
customers and payers who may not be Year 2000 compliant.

<PAGE>

Through  this process we have been informed in writing by approximately  95%  of
those  surveyed that they believe that they have computer systems  that  are  or
will  be Year 2000 compliant by the end of 1999.  (The balance or 5% is  in  the
process  of  responding  to us in writing.) All continue  to  assess  their  own
exposure to the issue.  However neither we nor our lessees and mortgagors can be
assured  that  the  federal  and state governments, upon  which  they  rely  for
Medicare and Medicaid revenue, will be in compliance in a timely manner.

We  are  in  the  process  of assessing our exposure  to  failures  of  embedded
microprocessors  contained in elevators, electrical and HVAC  systems,  security
systems and the breakdown of other non-IT systems due to the Year 2000 issue  at
the  properties  operated by our tenants.  Under a significant  portion  of  our
leases, the Company is not responsible for the cost to repair such items and  is
indemnified  by  the  tenants  for losses caused  by  their  operations  on  the
property.  For the Medical Office Buildings where the Company may be responsible
for  repairing  such items, we do not believe that the costs of repair  will  be
material to the Company and any such costs will be expensed as incurred.

RISKS  TO  THE COMPANY OF YEAR 2000 ISSUES.  The Company's exposure to the  Year
2000  issue  depends primarily on the readiness of our significant  tenants  and
commercial  banks, who in turn, are dependent upon suppliers, payers  and  other
external parties, all of which is outside the Company's control.  We believe the
most  reasonably likely worst case scenario faced by the Company as a result  of
the  Year  2000 issue is the possibility that reimbursement delays caused  by  a
failure  of  federal  and state welfare programs responsible  for  Medicare  and
Medicaid  could  adversely  affect our tenant's cash flow,  resulting  in  their
temporary inability to meet their obligations under our leases.  Depending  upon
the  severity  of  any reimbursement delays and the financial  strength  of  any
particular operator, the operations of our tenants could be materially adversely
affected,  which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our results  of
operations.

In  September 1998, the General Accounting Office reported that the Health  Care
Financing  Administration ("HCFA"), which runs Medicare, is behind  schedule  in
taking  steps  to  deal with the Year 2000 issue and that it is highly  unlikely
that  all  of  the  Medicare systems will be compliant in  time  to  ensure  the
delivery of uninterrupted benefits and services into the year 2000.  The General
Accounting Office also reported in November 1998 that, based upon its survey  of
the states, the District of Columbia and three territories, less than 16% of the
automated systems used by state and local government to administer Medicaid  are
reported  to be Year 2000 compliant.  We do not know at this time whether  there
will  in  fact  be  a disruption of Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements  to  our
lessees  and  mortgagors and we are therefore unable to determine at  this  time
whether  the Year 2000 issue will have a material adverse effect on the  Company
or its future operations.

CONTINGENCY PLANS. If there are severe temporary disruptions in our cash flow as
a  result  of  disruptions in our tenants' or mortgagors' cash flow  because  of
delays  in Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements or due to other Year 2000  issues
encountered by our tenants and mortgagors, we would slow our investment activity
or seek additional liquidity from our lenders.

Readers  are cautioned that most of the statements contained in the  "Year  2000
Issue" paragraphs are forward looking and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's  disclosures under the heading "CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING  FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS" set forth below.

<PAGE>

CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical factual
statements  are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of  the  Private
Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The statements include, among  other
things,  statements regarding the intent, belief or expectations of the  Company
and  its officers and can be identified by the use of terminology such as "may",
"will",  "expect", "believe", "intend", "plan", "estimate", "should"  and  other
comparable terms or the negative thereof.  In addition, the Company, through its
senior  management,  from time to time makes forward looking  oral  and  written
public statements concerning the Company's expected future operations and  other
developments.   Shareholders  and investors are cautioned  that,  while  forward
looking  statements reflect the Company's good faith beliefs and  best  judgment
based  upon  current information, they are not guarantees of future  performance
and  are  subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties.  Actual  results
may  differ  materially from the expectations contained in the  forward  looking
statements   as  a  result  of  various  factors.   Such  factors  include   (i)
legislative,  regulatory,  or other changes in the healthcare  industry  at  the
local,  state  or federal level which increase the costs of or otherwise  affect
the  operations  of  the Company's lessees; (ii) changes  in  the  reimbursement
available  to  the Company's lessees and mortgagors by governmental  or  private
payors,  including  changes  in Medicare and Medicaid  payment  levels  and  the
availability  and cost of third party insurance coverage; (iii) competition  for
lessees  and mortgagors, including with respect to new leases and mortgages  and
the   renewal  or  roll-over  of  existing  leases;  (iv)  competition  for  the
acquisition  and  financing of health care facilities; (v) the  ability  of  the
Company's lessees and mortgagors to operate the Company's properties in a manner
sufficient to maintain or increase revenues and to generate sufficient income to
make  rent and loan payments; and, (vi) changes in national or regional economic
conditions, including changes in interest rates and the availability and cost of
capital  to the Company and (vii) the general uncertainty inherent in  the  Year
2000  issue,  particularly the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness  of  third
parties  who are material to the Company's business, such as public  or  private
healthcare  reimbursers, over whom the Company has no control  with  the  result
that  the Company cannot ensure its ability to timely and cost-effectively avert
or  resolve  problems associated with the Year 2000 issue that  may  affect  its
operations and business.
