ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OF ASSETS.

         On November 4, 1999, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
as of August 4, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement"), between Health Care Property
Investors, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("HCPI") and American Health Properties,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AHP"), AHP merged with and into HCPI and the
separate corporate existence of AHP ceased (the "Merger"). HCPI will continue
under the name "Health Care Property Investors, Inc."

         In the Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding share of common stock,
par value $0.01 per share, of AHP ("AHP Common Stock") was converted into 0.78
(the "Exchange Ratio") shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of
HCPI ("HCPI Series C Common Stock"), with cash being paid in lieu of fractional
shares of AHP Common Stock and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of AHP
8.60% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series B, par value $0.01 per share
("AHP Preferred Stock"), was converted into the right to receive one share of
HCPI 8.60% Series C Cumulative Redeemable preferred stock, par value $1.00 per
share ("HCPI Preferred Stock"). In addition, HCPI assumed outstanding options to
acquire AHP Common Stock as options to acquire HCPI Common Stock, on the same
terms as the original option, adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio. All
deferred directors fees and related dividend equivalent rights of AHP were also
assumed by HCPI in the Merger on the same terms as in effect prior to the
Merger, with the right to receive AHP Common Stock being converted into the
right to receive HCPI Common Stock, as adjusted for the Exchange Ratio.

         Prior to the Merger, each share of AHP Preferred Stock was represented
by depositary shares, each representing a one-one-hundredth interest in a share
of AHP Preferred Stock. These depositary shares representing AHP Preferred Stock
automatically became depositary shares representing a one-one-hundredth interest
in a share of HCPI Series C Preferred Stock.

         On November 5, 1999, HCPI issued a press release, a copy of which is
annexed hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

         Certain of the statements contained in the press release that are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. HCPI's actual results may differ
materially from those included in the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "are likely to be," and
similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following: changes in general
economic conditions, including the performance of financial markets and interest
rates; and competitive, regulatory, or tax changes that affect the cost of or
demand for HCPI's properties.
