NOTE D - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

In January 1999, the Company announced the sale of 3,000,000 shares of
cumulative convertible preferred stock. These shares have a liquidation value of
$25.00 per share and will pay dividends equivalent to the greater of (i) the
annual dividend rate of $2.25 per share (a quarterly dividend rate of $0.5625
per share); or (ii) the quarterly dividend then payable per common share on an
as converted basis. The preferred shares are convertible into common stock at a
conversion price of $25.625 per share. The Company has the right to redeem the
preferred shares after five years.

In May 1998, the Company sold 3,000,000 shares of 8.875% Series B Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. On
and after May 1, 2003, the Preferred Stock may be redeemed for cash at the
option of the Company, in whole or in part, at $25.00 per share, plus accrued
and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date.

NOTE E - DIRECT INVESTMENTS

Management determines the appropriate classification of a direct investment at
the time of acquisition and reevaluates such designation as of each balance

at historical cost. Equity investments are stated at historical cost. At March
31, 1999, direct investments included the preferred stock of one private
corporation and subordinated debt in nine private corporations, and ownership
representing a 31% interest in Atlantic Healthcare Finance L.P., a property
investment group that specializes in the financing, through sale and leaseback
transactions, of nursing homes located in the United Kingdom and continental
Europe.


NOTE F - MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities are stated at market value with unrealized gains and
losses reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity. At March 31,
1999, marketable securities reflected the market value of the common stock of
two publicly owned corporations, which were obtained by the Company at no cost,
and the fair value of the common stock related to warrants in one publicly owned
corporation in excess of the exercise price.


NOTE G - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998,

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         -------------------------------------------------
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         -----------------------------------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1999, the Company's net real estate investments totaled
approximately $1,111,952,000, which included 154 assisted living facilities, 53
skilled nursing facilities, 17 retirement centers, six specialty care facilities
and two behavioral care facilities. The Company funds its investments through a
combination of long-term and short-term financing, utilizing both debt and
equity.

As of March 31, 1999, the Company had shareholders' equity of $706,694,000 and a
total outstanding debt balance of $430,608,000, which represents a debt to
equity ratio of 0.61 to 1.0.

In January 1999, the Company announced the sale of 3,000,000 shares of
cumulative convertible preferred stock. These shares have a liquidation value of
$25.00 per share and will pay quarterly dividends equivalent to the greater of
$0.5625 or the quarterly dividend then payable per common share on an as
converted basis. The preferred shares are convertible into common stock at a
conversion price of $25.625 per share. The Company has the right to redeem the
preferred shares after five years.

In February 1999, the Company entered into a $50,000,000 Secured Credit
Facility. The Credit Facility bears interest at the lender's prime rate or LIBOR
plus 2.0%, with a floor of 7.0%. At March 31, 1999, $44,000,000 was advanced
under this Credit Agreement.

In March 1999, the Company completed the sale of $50 million of 8.17% Senior
Unsecured Notes due March 15, 2006.

During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the proceeds derived from the
Company's capital raising activities were used to invest in additional health
care properties and reduce bank debt under the Company's revolving lines of
credit arrangements.

As of March 31, 1999, the Company has effective shelf registrations on file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under which the Company may issue up to
$330,319,000 of securities including debt, convertible debt, common and
preferred stock. The Company anticipates issuing securities under such shelf
registrations to invest in additional health care facilities and to repay
borrowings under the Company's line of credit arrangements.

As of March 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $263,511,000 in unfunded
commitments. Under the Company's line of credit arrangements, available funding
totaled $100,800,000, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the
line of credit arrangements. The Company believes its liquidity and various
sources of available capital are sufficient to fund operations, meet debt
service and dividend requirements, and finance future investments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999, were $28,164,000 as compared
with $21,226,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Revenue growth was
generated primarily by increased rental income of $6,382,000 and increased
commitment fees and other income of $694,000, as a result of additional real
estate investments made during the past twelve months. In addition, the Company
recognized $628,000 in gains on sale of properties during the first three months
in 1999. There were no such gains during the same period in 1998.

Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999, totaled $9,814,000, an
increase of $1,997,000 from expenses of $7,817,000 for the same period in 1998.
The increase in total expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1999,
was related to an increase in interest expense, an additional expense associated
with the provision for depreciation and an increase in general and
administrative expenses.


                                      -10-

<PAGE>   11


Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999, was $4,269,000 as
compared with $4,240,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase in the 1999
period was primarily due to the issuance of $50,000,000 Senior Unsecured Notes
in March, 1999. The increase in the 1999 period was offset by the amount of
capitalized interest recorded during the first three months of 1999.

The Company capitalizes certain interest costs associated with funds used to
finance the construction of properties owned directly by the Company. The amount
capitalized is based upon the borrowings outstanding during the construction
period using the rate of interest which approximates the Company's cost of
financing. The Company's interest expense is reduced by the amount capitalized.
Capitalized interest for the three month period in 1999 totaled $3,159,000, as
compared with $1,226,000 for the same period in 1998.

The provision for depreciation for the three month period ended March 31, 1999,
totaled $3,555,000, an increase of $1,685,000 over the comparable period in 1998
as a result of additional investments in properties owned directly by the
Company.

General and administrative expense for the three month period ended March 31,
1999, totaled $1,674,000, as compared with $1,381,000 for the same period in
1998. The expenses for the three month period in 1999 were 5.81% of revenues as
compared with 6.51% for the same period in 1998.

Dividends associated with the Company's outstanding preferred stock totaled
$2,759,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. There were no such
dividend payments for the same period in 1998.

As a result of the various factors mentioned above, net income available to
common shareholders for the three month period ended March 31, 1999, was
$16,219,000, or $0.57 per diluted share, as compared with $13,409,000, or $0.54
per diluted share, for the comparable period in 1998.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

During the past three years, inflation has not significantly affected the
earnings of the Company because of the moderate inflation rate. Additionally,
earnings of the Company are primarily long-term investments with fixed interest
rates. These investments are mainly financed with a combination of equity,
senior notes and borrowings under the revolving lines of credit. During
inflationary periods, which generally are accompanied by rising interest rates,
the Company's ability to grow may be adversely affected because the yield on new
investments may increase at a slower rate than new borrowing costs. Presuming
the current inflation rate remains moderate and long-term interest rates do not
increase significantly, the Company believes that equity and debt financing will
continue to be available.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Year 2000 compliance issue concerns the inability of certain systems and
devices to properly use or store dates beyond December 31, 1999. This could
result in system failures, malfunctions, or miscalculations that disrupt normal
operations. This issue affects most companies and organizations to large and
small degrees, at least to the extent that potential exposures must be
evaluated.

The Company believes its own internal operations, technology infrastructure,
information systems and software applications are Year 2000 compliant. The
Company is reviewing the impact of outside vendors and tenants/borrowers. The
Company initially focused this review on mission-critical operations,
recognizing that other potential effects are expected to be less material. In
those cases where there are external compliance issues, these are considered to
be minor in nature. Expenditures for any remedies will not be material.

With respect to the Company's tenants, borrowers and properties, the Company is
assessing the tenants and borrowers compliance efforts, the possibility of any
interface difficulties or electromechanical problems relating to compliance by
material vendors, the effects of potential non-compliance, and remedies that may
mitigate or


                                      -11-

<PAGE>   12

obviate such effects. The Company plans to process information from tenant
surveys beginning in 1999 and complete its assessment by mid-1999.

Because the Company's evaluation of these issues has been conducted by its own
personnel or by selected inquiries of its vendors and tenants in connection with
their routine servicing operations, the Company believes that its expenditures
for assessing Year 2000 issues, though difficult to quantify, have not been
material. In addition, the Company is not aware of any issues that will require
material expenditures by the Company in the future.

Based upon current information, the Company believes that the risk posed by
foreseeable Year 2000 related problems with its internal systems (including both
information and non-information systems) is minimal. Year 2000 related problems
with the Company's software applications and internal operational programs are
unlikely to cause more than minor disruptions in the Company's operations. Year
2000 related problems at certain of its third-party service providers, such as
its banks, payroll processor, and telecommunications provider is marginally
greater, though, based upon current information, the Company does not believe
any such problems would have a material effect on its operations. For example,
Year 2000 related problems at such third-party service providers could delay the
processing of financial transactions and the Company's payroll and could disrupt
the Company's internal and external communications.

The Company believes that the risk posed by Year 2000 related problems at its
properties or with its tenants is marginally greater, though, based upon current
information, the Company does not believe any such problems would have a
material effect on its operations. Year 2000 related problems at certain
governmental agencies and third-party payers could delay the processing of
tenant financial transactions, though, based upon current information, the
Company does not believe any such problems would have a material long-term
effect on its operations. Year 2000 related problems with the electromechanical
systems at its properties are unlikely to cause more than minor disruptions in
the Company's operations.

The Company intends to complete outstanding assessments, implement identified
remedies, continue to monitor Year 2000 issues, and develop contingency plans
if, and to the extent deemed, necessary. However, based upon current information
and barring developments, the Company does not anticipate developing any
substantive contingency plans with respect to Year 2000 issues. In addition, the
Company has no plans to seek independent verification or review of its
assessments.

While the Company believes that it will be Year 2000 compliant by December 31,
1999, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
identifying and assessing all compliance issues, or that the Company's efforts
to remedy all Year 2000 compliance issues will be effective such that they will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or results of
operations.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES 
          ----------------------------------------
          ABOUT MARKET RISK
          -----------------

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss
arising from adverse changes in interest rates. The Company seeks to mitigate
the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the term of new
investments with new long-term fixed rate borrowings to the extent possible.

The market value of the Company's long-term fixed rate borrowings is subject to
interest rate risk. Generally, the market value of fixed rate financial
instruments will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates
fall. The estimated fair value of the Company's total long-term borrowings at
March 31, 1999, was $284 million. A 1% increase in interest rates would result
in a decrease in fair value of long-term borrowings by approximately $13
million.

The Company is subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the
risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of such
refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of current indebtedness. The
majority of the Company's borrowings were completed pursuant to indentures or
contractual agreements which limit the amount of indebtedness the Company may
incur. Accordingly, in the event that the Company is unable to raise additional
equity or borrow money because of these limitations, the Company's ability to
acquire additional properties may be limited.

At March 31, 1999, the Company's variable interest rate debt exceeded its
variable interest rate assets, presenting an exposure to rising interest rates.
The Company may or may not elect to use financial derivative instruments to
hedge variable interest rate exposure. Such decisions are principally based on
the Company's policy to match its variable rate investments with comparable
borrowings, but is also based on the general trend in interest rates at the

Toledo, Ohio, February 2, 1999........HEALTH CARE REIT, INC. (NYSE/HCN) today
announced the operating results for the year ended December 31, 1998. Funds From
Operations (FFO), the generally accepted measure of operating performance for
the real estate investment trust industry, achieved a record level of
$66,766,000, or $2.57 per diluted share in 1998, a 9.8 percent per diluted share
increase from $51,236,000, or $2.34 per diluted share in the prior year.

"We are delighted with the company's 1998 operating results. Driven by
outstanding investment activity and consistent portfolio performance, the
results exceeded our business plan," commented George L. Chapman, chairman and
chief executive officer. "During 1998 we capitalized on current market
conditions that generated high yielding, accretive investments for the company.
Our strong balance sheet continues to give the company the flexibility to
finance its commitments and opportunities, while retaining excellent leverage
and coverage ratios. We believe the strength of our existing portfolio and the
execution of our investment strategy of providing growth capital to emerging
health care companies should lead to increased earnings and profitability for
the company during 1999 and beyond."

Net income available to common shareholders for the year totaled $58,149,000, or
$2.24 per diluted share, on revenue of $97,992,000 as compared with net income
available to common shareholders of $46,478,000, or $2.12 per diluted share, on
revenue of $73,308,000 for the year ended 1997.

For the 1998 fourth quarter, FFO totaled $18,380,000, or $0.66 per diluted
share, as compared with FFO of $14,375,000, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the
same period in 1997, an increase of 10 percent per diluted share. Net income
available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 1998 totaled
$16,468,000, or $0.59 per diluted share, on revenue of $27,770,000, as compared
with net income available to common shareholders of $12,950,000, or $0.54 per
diluted share, on revenue of $19,731,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1997.

Revenue growth was generated primarily by new investment activity in 1997 and
1998, which totaled $262,646,000 and $397,500,000, respectively. Investment
activity contributed to a 46 percent increase in total assets, which at December
31, 1998, totaled $1,073,424,000 as compared with total assets of $734,327,000
at December 31, 1997.

Dividend payments to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1998,
totaled $56,556,000, or $2.19 per share, as compared with dividend payments of
$45,804,000, or $2.11 per share, during 1997. Correspondingly, the FFO payout
ratio for 1998 was 85 percent as compared with a FFO payout ratio of 90 percent
for 1997, evidence of the company's commitment to reduce its FFO payout ratio to
a level below 80 percent during the next 12 to 15 months.

On January 19, 1999, the company announced the private placement of three
million shares of convertible preferred stock providing net proceeds of $73
million. The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay borrowings under
the company's revolving line of credit arrangements and invest in additional
health care properties.
