              Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements



         The  following  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  balance sheet as of
December  31, 1997 and the  consolidated  statement of income for the year ended
December 31, 1997,  present the consolidated  financial position and the results
of  operations  of Health  and  Retirement  Properties  Trust  and  consolidated
subsidiaries  (the "Company") as if the  transactions  described in the notes to
unaudited financial  statements were consummated on January 1, 1997.  Additional
information  with  respect to such  transactions  is provided  in the  Company's
Annual  Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended  December 31, 1997 (and in
materials incorporated by reference therein), which is incorporated by reference
into this Current  Report.  These  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  financial
statements  should  be read in  connection  with,  and are  qualified  in  their
entirety by reference to, the separate consolidated  financial statements of the
Company for the year ended December 31, 1997,  included in the Company's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated February 27, 1998,  which is  incorporated by reference
into this Current  Report.  These  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  financial
statements  are not  necessarily  indicative of the  financial  position and the
expected results of operations of the Company for any future period. Differences
could result from, among other  considerations,  future changes in the Company's
portfolio  of  investments,  changes in interest  rates,  changes in the capital
structure of the Company,  delays in the  acquisition of certain  properties and
changes in property level operating expenses.
