                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  (dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

         The financial statements of Health and Retirement Properties Trust (the
"Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting
principals for interim  financial  information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of
the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted   accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for interim periods are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the full
year.  Certain  prior  year  amounts  have been  reclassified  to conform to the
current year's presentation.

         The  Financial   Accounting   Standards  Board  has  issued   Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board Statement No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("FAS 128").
The statement is effective for interim and annual  financial  statements  ending
after  December 15, 1997.  The Company  estimates  that adoption of FAS 128 will
have no impact on reported results.

Note 2.  Shareholders' Equity

         During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1997,  the  Company  issued
27,025,000  common  shares  in  a  public  offering,  raising  net  proceeds  of

         On July 1, 1997,  the  Trustees  declared a dividend  on the  Company's
common  shares with  respect to the quarter  ended June 30, 1997 of $.36,  which

certain  employees of the Advisor under the 1992 Incentive  Share Award Plan. In
June 1997,  the three  independent  Trustees,  as part of their annual fee, were

public  offering,  the issuance of 3,898,840  common  shares of the Company in a
private  placement  and the  assumption  of  $27,588  of  debt.  The  Government
Properties are managed by M&P.

         At June 30, 1997, 17% of the Company's real estate properties, net, and

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarter Ended June 30, 1997 Versus 1996

         Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1997,  increased to $52.5
million,  from $29.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  Rental income
increased by $22.5  million and interest  income  increased by $406,000.  Rental
income increased because of new real estate  investments  subsequent to June 30,
1996 and partly as a result of the  Company's  increased  investments  in "gross
leased"  real  estate  assets  during the 1997  period as  compared  to the 1996
period.  As the Company's  investment in such "gross leased " assets  increases,
the Company  anticipates rental income and the corresponding  operating expenses
from  such  leases  to  increase  during  subsequent  periods.  Interest  income
increased  slightly  as a  result  of  earnings  on  the  Company's  short  term
investments  due to higher  cash  balances  in the  quarter  ended June 30, 1997
compared to the quarter  ended June 30, 1996,  which was off-set,  in part, by a
decrease in mortgage interest income.

         Total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1997,  increased to $26.8
million from $13 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Operating expenses
increased by $6 million as a result of the  Company's  increased  investment  in
"gross  leased"  real estate  assets  during the 1997 quarter as compared to the
1996 period. Interest expense increased by $2.6 million due to higher borrowings
outstanding  during the 1997 quarter and the Company's  issuance of  convertible
debentures  in October  1996.  Depreciation  and  amortization,  and general and
administrative expense increased by $4.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively,
primarily  as a result of new real  estate  investments  subsequent  to June 30,
1996.

         Net income for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1997,  increased  to $27.9
million or $.28 per share,  from $22.5  million or $.34 per share,  for the same
quarter in 1996.  This increase is primarily a result of new  investments  since
June 30,  1996.  On a per share  basis net income  decreased  due to  additional
common shares issued by the Company subsequent to June 30, 1996.

         The  Company  bases its  dividend  primarily  on Funds from  Operations
("FFO").  The  Company  has  adopted  the  National  Association  of Real Estate
Investment  Trust's  ("NAREIT")  definition  of FFO, as income  before equity in
earnings of HPT,  gain (loss) on sale of real  estate and  extraordinary  items,
plus depreciation and other non-cash charges,  plus the Company's  proportionate
share of HPT's FFO.  FFO for the 1997  quarter  was $38.1  million,  or $.39 per
share,  as compared to $24.8 million,  or $.38 per share,  for the 1996 quarter.
Cash available for distribution  may not necessarily  equal FFO as the cash flow
of the Company is affected by other factors not included in the FFO calculation.
The dividends  declared which relate to these  quarters were $35.5  million,  or
$.36 per share, in 1997 and $23.2 million, or $.35 per share, in 1996.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Versus 1996

         Total  revenues  for the six months  ended June 30, 1997  increased  to
$88.4 million from $58.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Rental
income  increased by $29.5  million and interest  income  increased by $813,000.
Rental income  increased  because of new real estate  investments  subsequent to
June 30, 1996 and partly as a result of the Company's  increased  investments in
"gross leased" real estate assets as compared to "net leased" assets  subsequent
to June 30, 1996. As the  Company's  investment  in such "gross  leased"  assets
increases, the Company anticipates rental income and the corresponding operating
expenses from such leases to increase during subsequent periods. Interest income
increased  slightly  as a  result  of  earnings  on  the  Company's  short  term
investments  due to higher cash balances in the 1997 period compared to the 1996
period, which was off-set, in part, by a decrease in mortgage interest income.

         Total  expenses  for the six months  ended June 30, 1997  increased  to
$45.6  million  from  $25.4  million  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1996.
Operating  expenses  increased  by $7.2  million  as a result  of the  Company's
increased investment in "gross leased" real estate assets during the 1997 period
as compared to the 1996 period.  Interest expense  increased by $5.5 million due
to higher  borrowings  outstanding  during  the 1997  period  and the  Company's
issuance  of   convertible   debentures  in  October  1996.   Depreciation   and
amortization,  and general and administrative  expense increased by $5.7 million
and  $1.8  million,  respectively,  primarily  as a result  of new  real  estate
investments subsequent to June 30, 1996.

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



Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Versus 1996 - continued

         Net income increased to $47.3 million,  or $.55 per share, for the 1997
period from $38.2 million,  or $.58 per share, for the 1996 period. The increase
in net income is primarily a result of the new investments  since June 30, 1996.
On a per share basis,  net income  decreased  due to  additional  common  shares
issued by the Company subsequent to June 30, 1996.

         Funds from  operations  for the six months  ended June 30,  1997,  were
$65.1 million,  or $.76 per share,  and $49 million,  or $.74 per share, for the
1996 period.  The dividends  declared  which relate to the six months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996 were $71.1 million,  or $.72 per share, and $46.3 million,  or
$.70 per share, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Total assets of the Company increased to $1.8 billion at June 30, 1997,
from $1.2 billion at December 31, 1996.  The increase is primarily  attributable
to new real estate acquisitions since December 31, 1996.

         During the six months ended June 30, 1997,  the Company  purchased  two
medical office  buildings,  one retirement  community and 20 medical clinics for
approximately  $177.6  million by borrowing on the  Company's  revolving  credit
facility and with cash on hand.

         In the first quarter of 1997, the Company  entered into an agreement to
acquire  30 office  buildings  ("Government  Properties")  leased to the  United
States Government. Through June 30, 1997, the Company had purchased 27 of the 30
Government  Properties  for  approximately  $412 million.  The  acquisition  was
funded,  in part,  with the proceeds from the issuance of the  Company's  common
shares pursuant to a public offering, the issuance of 3,898,840 common shares of
the Company in a private  placement and the assumption of $27.6 million of debt.
The  acquisition  of the  remaining  three  properties  are  subject  to various
conditions  customary  in  real  estate  transactions  and  are  expected  to be
substantially  completed by March 31, 1998;  however, no assurances can be given
if and when these transactions will be completed.

         During the six months ended June 30, 1997,  the Company  provided  $2.4
million of  improvement  financing  to existing  facilities  and  received  $6.7
million of principal  payments on  mortgages,  including  the repayment of three
mortgage loans secured by three long-term care properties.

         In March, 1997, the Company issued 27,025,000 common shares in a public
offering yielding net proceeds of approximately $483.2 million.  Proceeds of the
offering  were  used to repay  the then  outstanding  balance  on the  Company's
revolving  credit  facility of $140 million and to fund the  acquisition of real
estate.  During the six months ended June 30, 1997,  the Company  issued 895,549
common  shares  due  to the  conversion  of  $16.1  million  of its  convertible
subordinated debentures.

         At June  30,  1997,  the  Company  had $40  million  of cash  and  cash
equivalents,  and the ability to borrow $105 million under its revolving  credit
facility.  Subsequent to June 30, 1997 the Company  expanded the credit facility
to $450 million. The credit facility matures in 2001 and bears interest at LIBOR
plus a premium.  At June 30, 1997, $145 million was outstanding under the credit
facility.

         During July 1997, the Company issued Senior Unsecured  Remarketed Reset
Notes  aggregating  $200  million.  The  notes  are due in 2007 and the  initial
interest rate is LIBOR plus a premium, reset quarterly.  Subsequent to the first
year,  the interest  rate and interest  period on the notes may be fixed for the
balance  of  the  term  at  the  Company's  option  and  notes  are  subject  to
remarketing.  Proceeds  from the  issuance of the notes were used to prepay $125
million of the Company's Floating Rate Senior Notes,  Series B, due 1999 and $75
million outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility. In connection
with this  refinancing,  the Company will recognize a loss from the write-off of
deferred finance fees of approximately $1.2 million.

                      OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - continued

         The effective  interest  rates on the Company's  floating rate debt are
generally  capped by the use of interest rate cap agreements.  The interest rate
cap  agreements  provide  for a  maximum  interest  rate of 8% per annum on $100
million of its variable rate debt through 1997.

         At June 30, 1996,  the Company had  outstanding  commitments to provide
financing  totaling  approximately  $38.5 million.  The Company  intends to fund
these commitments with a combination of cash on hand,  issuance of common shares
of the Company,  amounts  available under its existing credit  facilities and/or
proceeds of mortgage prepayments, if any.

         Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Company acquired one of the Government
Properties for approximately $10.5 million,  paid for with cash and the issuance
of 86,188 common shares of the Company.

         The Company  continues to seek new  investments to expand and diversify
its  portfolio  of leased and  mortgaged  real  estate.  The Company  intends to
balance  the use of debt and equity in such a manner  that the long term cost of
funds used to acquire or mortgage finance  facilities is appropriately  matched,
to the  extent  practicable,  with the terms of the  investments  made with such
funding. As of June 30, 1997, the Company's debt as a percentage of total market
capitalization was approximately 22%.

         NOW THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the premises and the  agreements,

         1. Amendments to Loan Agreement.

         (a) The first  paragraph of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by the
addition  of the words  "or  Section  2.1(c)"  immediately  following  the words
"additional lender or lenders pursuant to Section 10.4" thereof.

         (b) Section  2.1(b) of the Loan  agreement is hereby  amended by adding
the following provisos at the end thereof:

                  "; provided  further that the  Commitments may be increased up
                  to an aggregate amount not to exceed $450,000,000  pursuant to
                  this Section 2.1; and provided further that the Agent,  during
                  the  process  of  increasing  the  aggregate   amount  of  the
                  Commitments from  $250,000,000 to up to $450,000,000,  may one
                  time only accept a non pro rata reduction in the Commitment of
                  any  one or more  Lenders  and may  reallocate  an  equivalent
                  amount among additional lenders or existing Lenders, but in no
                  event may the aggregate  amount of the  Commitments be reduced
                  below  $250,000,000 or increased above  $450,000,000  thereby,
                  and the  effective  date of such  non pro rata  reduction  and
                  reallocation  will be the date agreed  upon by the  additional
                  lenders or the existing Lenders whose  Commitments are reduced
                  or  increased  in  connection  therewith,  and the Agent shall
                  notify the Lenders and additional  lenders of the reallocation
                  in writing for information purposes only."

         (c) Section 2.1 is hereby  amended by inserting  therein  after Section
2.1(b) the following new section:

                  "(c)  The  foregoing  notwithstanding,   if  at  any  time  an
                  additional  lender  satisfactory  to Borrower  and Agent shall
                  execute and deliver to Borrower

                                        2

                  and  Agent  on  behalf  of  the  parties  hereto  counterparts
                  substantially  in the form of this Agreement,  with the amount
                  of  such  additional  lender's   Commitment   hereunder  typed
                  immediately  below its  signature  on such  counterpart,  upon
                  notification  of such  execution  and delivery by Agent to the
                  other parties hereto,  such  additional  lender shall become a
                  Lender  and its  Commitment  shall be  added to the  aggregate
                  Commitments  for all  purposes  hereunder;  and if an existing
                  Lender  shall notify  Borrower  and Agent of its  agreement to
                  increase its Commitment above its original Commitment and such
                  agreement  is  accepted  by  Borrower  and  Agent,  then  upon
                  notification thereof by Agent to the other parties hereto (or,
                  if later,  upon the effective date for such increase stated in
                  such notification), such existing Lender's Commitment shall be
                  increased as set forth in such notification;  provided that no
                  such  additional  lender  shall  become a Lender  (and no such
                  increase  shall  become  effective)  without  the  consent  of
                  Borrower   and  all  Lenders  if  such   additional   lender's
                  Commitment  (or  such  increase)   would  make  the  aggregate
                  Commitments  exceed  $450,000,000.  The  other  terms  of this
                  Agreement  notwithstanding,  such additional  lender or Lender
                  increasing its Commitment  shall,  on the first day thereafter
                  which is the last day of an Interest Period (or on such day if
                  such  day  is the  last  day of an  Interest  Period),  pay to
                  Administrative  Agent (i) its Pro Rata Share of the Loans then
                  outstanding (if any) or, if less, the amount by which such Pro
                  Rata Share exceeds its  outstandings  hereunder (if any),  for
                  distribution to the other Lenders that have funded such Loans,
                  in  accordance  with  their  respective  Commitments,  and all
                  rights of such  other  Lenders  with  respect  to the Pro Rata
                  Share being assumed by such additional lender or the increased
                  portion thereof of an existing Lender shall be deemed assigned
                  (without any further action or  authorization  being required)
                  to  such  additional   lender  or  increasing  Lender  without
                  recourse,  representation or warranty, and each Lender's share
                  of the outstanding  Loans shall be adjusted  accordingly;  and
                  (ii) any  other  amounts  due from it on such date as a Lender
                  hereunder."

         (d) Section 2.1(c) and (d) are hereby renumbered as Sections 2.1(d) and
(e), respectively.

         (e) Section 8.1(a) is hereby  amended by replacing the word  "Co-Agent"
therein with the words "each Co-Agent".

         (f) Section 8.1 is hereby  amended by inserting  therein  after Section
8.1(m) the following new section:

                  nominate  one  or  more  Lenders  as  Co-Agent,   taking  into
                  consideration  the  magnitude  of the  Commitment  offered  or
                  undertaken by such Lender."

         (g) In  accordance  with  Section  8.1(j),  Wells Fargo Bank,  National
Association hereby resigns as Administrative  Agent. Pursuant to Section 8.1(j),
the Majority Lenders hereby appoint Fleet National Bank as Administrative  Agent
(upon which appointment Fleet National Bank will cease to be Co-Agent).

         (h) Schedule 1 (Lenders'  Commitments)  is hereby  amended by replacing
the same with Schedule 1 hereto.

         2. Conditions to Effectiveness.

         (b) The execution and delivery of this Amendment and the performance of
the Amended  Agreement have been authorized by all necessary  action on the part
of the Borrower.

         (c) The  execution  and delivery by Borrower of this  Amendment and the
performance  by  Borrower  of the  Amended  Agreement  and the  use of  proceeds
thereunder (i) do not violate any  Requirement of Law or Contractual  Obligation
of Borrower,  (ii) will not result in, or require, the creation of imposition of
any Lien on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to

any  Requirement of Law or Contractual  Obligation of Borrower and (iii) do not
require the consent of any third party.

         (d) This  Amendment and the Amended  Agreement  have been duly executed
and delivered by Borrower and are the legally valid and binding  obligations  of

such earlier date.

         (f) After giving effect to this Amendment, no event has occurred and is
continuing or will result from the consummation of the transactions described in
or otherwise  contemplated by this Amendment that would  constitute a Default or
an Event of Default.

         (g)  The  Declaration  of  Trust,   By-Laws  and  other  organizational
documents of Borrower have not been amended  since May 14, 1997,  and the copies
thereof  delivered to Lenders  under the Loan  Agreement  are true,  correct and
complete  copies thereof as in effect on the effective date described in Section
2.

         4. Guarantors' Acknowledgement and Consent.

the  Delaware  Subsidiaries  and the LLC  (each a  "Subsidiary  Guarantor")  has
guarantied the obligations of Borrower under Section 9 of the Loan Agreement.

         Each Subsidiary  Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the

Agreement  shall  continue  in  full  force  and  effect  and  that  all  of its
obligations  thereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be impaired
or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Amendment.

original,  but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.

in  connection  with the Loan  Agreement  or any other  instrument  or agreement
referred to therein.
