Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations

     The  following  information  is provided in  connection  with the financial
statements  filed  as  Item 7 to  this  Current  Report  and  should  be read in
conjunction with the financial  statements and notes thereto included  elsewhere
herein.

Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996

     Total  revenues for the year ended  December  31, 1997  increased to $208.9
million from $120.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1996.  Rental income
increased  by $90.0  million and  interest  and other  income  decreased by $1.3
million. Rental income increased because of new real estate investments in 1997,
and partly as a result of the Company's increased  investments in "gross leased"
real estate assets as compared to "net leased"  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 and other income  decreased  primarily as a result of  prepayments  and
repayments of mortgage investments, which was offset, in part, by an increase in
earnings on the Company's short-term  investments in the 1997 period compared to
the 1996 period.

     Total  expenses for the year ended  December  31, 1997  increased to $114.5
million  from $55.5  million for the year ended  December  31,  1996.  Operating
expenses  increased  by $23.0  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 $14.2 million due to
higher  borrowings during the 1997 period.  Depreciation and  amortization,  and
general and administrative expenses increased by $17.2 million and $4.6 million,
respectively,  primarily as a result of new real estate  investments in 1997 and
1996.

     Net income  increased to $114.0  million,  or $1.24 per basic share for the
1997 period,  from $73.3 million,  or $1.11 per basic share for the 1996 period.
Net income increased  primarily as a result of new investments in 1997 and 1996.
In addition,  net income increased as a result of a $2.9 million gain on sale of
properties,  the recognition of a $9.3 million gain on equity transaction of the
Company's formerly wholly owned subsidiary  Hospitality Properties Trust ("HPT")
during the 1997 period  compared to a $3.6 million gain in the 1996 period,  and
by an  extraordinary  loss of $1.1 million during the 1997 period  compared to a
$3.9 million  extraordinary loss during the 1996 period, both resulting from the
early  extinguishment  of debt. HPT is a real estate  investment trust investing
principally in income producing hotel real estate.  The Company's  investment in
HPT is accounted for using the equity method.

     The Company's  business goal is to maximize funds from  operations  ("FFO")
rather than net income.  The Company's  Board of Trustees  considers  FFO, among
other  factors,  when  determining  dividends  to be paid to  shareholders.  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 HPT's  equity  transaction,  gain  (loss) on sale of real  estate  and
extraordinary  items, plus depreciation,  other non-cash items and the Company's
proportionate  share of HPT's  FFO.  Funds  from  operations  for the year ended
December 31, 1997, were $146.3 million,  or $1.59 per basic share,  versus $99.1
million,  or $1.50 per basic  share,  in 1996.  Funds from  operations  for 1997
increased  $47.2  million,  or 47.6%,  over the prior year.  The increase is the
result of new  investments  in 1997 and 1996.  Dividends  declared for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 were $144.3 million,  or $1.46 per basic share,
and $94.3 million, or $1.42 per basic share,  respectively.  Dividends in excess
of net income  constitute a return of capital.  For 1997,  the return of capital
portion  reported was 17.4% of dividends and the long-term  capital gain portion
was 1.7% of  dividends.  Cash flow  provided by  operating  activities  and cash
available for  distribution  may not necessarily  equal funds from operations as
the cash flow of the Company is affected  by other  factors not  included in the
funds from operations calculation, such as changes in assets and liabilities.

Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations

     Cash  flows  provided  by (used for)  operating,  investing  and  financing
activities   were  $185.7   million,   ($815.2)   million  and  $630.0  million,
respectively,  for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $98.3 million,  ($235.3)
million and $140.2 million,  respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The  increases  in all three  categories  are  primarily  the result of new real
estate investments in 1997.

Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1995

     Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996 were $120.2 million, an
increase of $6.9 million over the year ended  December 31, 1995.  Rental  income
increased  to $98.0  million  from $90.2  million and  interest and other income
decreased to $22.1 million from $23.1 million.  Rental income increased as a net
result of new real estate  investments  during 1996,  offset by the exclusion of
rental revenue from HPT.  During 1995, HPT completed its initial public offering
and the Company's investment in HPT is accounted for using the equity method and
the 1996 period does not include revenue and expenses of HPT. Interest and other
income  decreased  as a net  result  of the  scheduled  and early  repayment  of
mortgage loans acquired from the Resolution  Trust Company in 1992 and 1993. The
Company  anticipates  that  such  prepayments  will  continue  and  consequently
interest  income will decline in the future.  This interest  income  decline was
partially  offset in 1996 by short-term  investment  income on excess cash which
resulted from the Company's issuance of convertible debentures during the fourth
quarter of 1996.

     Total  expenses for 1996  increased to $55.5  million from $54.7 million in
1995.  The  increase  of $0.8  million  is the net  result of higher  operating,
general and  administrative  expenses during the 1996 period.  Interest  expense
declined  due to lower  borrowings  and  lower  interest  rates  during  1996 as
compared to 1995.  Depreciation  expense was  essentially  unchanged  as the net
result of new real  estate  investments  during 1996 which was offset by the HPT
transaction described above.  Amortization expense declined due to the write-off
of deferred finance fees in March 1996 and October 1996.

     Net income for 1996 increased to $73.3  million,  or $1.11 per basic share,
from $64.2  million,  or $1.08 per basic share,  in 1995.  These  increases  are
primarily the result of net new real estate  investments  and the recognition of
the gain on the equity transaction of HPT.

     Cash  flows  provided  by (used for)  operating,  investing  and  financing
activities were $98.3 million, ($235.3) million and $140.2 million, respectively
for the year ended  December 31, 1996 and $82.3  million,  ($190.3)  million and
$68.8 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Total assets of the Company  increased to $2.1 billion at December 31, 1997
from  $1.2  billion  as  of  December  31,  1996.   The  increase  is  primarily
attributable to the Company's new real estate investments during 1997.

     During 1997, the Company acquired three nursing properties,  one retirement
community,  22 medical and other office  buildings and 20 medical clinics for an
aggregated  amount of $554.8 million and provided debt financing and improvement
funding  totaling $4.8 million to its existing  properties.  These  transactions
were  funded  by  borrowing  on the  Company's  revolving  credit  facility  and
available  cash. In addition,  the Company sold 14 nursing  properties for $33.5
million,  which  resulted in a gain of $2.9  million.  During 1997,  the Company
received  regularly  scheduled  principal payments and prepayment on real estate
mortgages of approximately $49.5 million.

     In February 1997,  the Company  agreed to acquire 30 office  buildings (the
"Government  Properties")  leased  to  various  agencies  of the  United  States
Government.  As of December 31, 1997,  the Company had completed the purchase of
29 of the  Government  Properties  for $439.5 million and elected not to acquire
one of the  Government  Properties  under  development.  The  acquisition of the
Government  Properties was funded,  in part, with the proceeds from the issuance
of the Company's  common shares pursuant to a public  offering,  the issuance of
4,019,429 common shares of the Company in a private placement and the assumption
of $27.6 million of debt. Subsequently, in January 1998, the Company sold one of
the Government  Properties  for $5.7 million;  no gain or loss was recognized on
the sale of this property.

Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations

     At December  31, 1997,  the Company  owned 4.0  million,  or 10.3%,  of the
common  shares of  beneficial  interest  of HPT with a carrying  value of $111.1
million  and a  market  value of  $131.5  million.  During  December  1997,  HPT
completed a public stock  offering of 12.0 million  common  shares of beneficial
interest  at  a  per  share  price  of  $33.0625  for  total   consideration  of
approximately  $396.8 million.  As a result of this  transaction,  the Company's
ownership  percentage  in HPT was  reduced  from 14.9% to 10.3% and the  Company
realized a gain of $9.3  million.  Although the Company did not sell any shares,
pursuant to the Company's accounting policy, gains and losses on the issuance of
common  shares of  beneficial  interest by HPT are  recognized  in the Company's
income statement. These amounts are not included in the Company's calculation of
FFO.

     In March 1997, the Company issued 27,025,000 common shares and received net
proceeds of $483.2  million.  The proceeds  were used to acquire the  Government
Properties.

     In March  1997,  the  Company  extended  and  modified  its $250.0  million
unsecured  revolving  bank  credit  facility.  Subsequently,  in July 1997,  the
Company  expanded the credit  facility to $450.0  million.  The  revolving  bank
credit facility matures in 2001 and bears interest at LIBOR plus a premium.

     During July 1997,  the Company  issued senior  unsecured  Remarketed  Reset
Notes (the "Notes")  totaling $200.0 million.  The Notes are due in 2007 and the
initial interest rate is LIBOR plus a premium,  reset  quarterly.  In July 1998,
these Notes may be prepaid without a premium,  or the interest rate and interest
period  on these  Notes  may be fixed  for the  balance  of the term or a lesser
period at the Company's  option and the Notes will be remarketed.  Proceeds from
the issuance of the Notes were used to prepay  $125.0  million of the  Company's
Floating  Rate Senior Notes,  Series B, due 1999 and $75.0  million  outstanding
under the Company's  revolving  bank credit  facility.  In connection  with this
refinancing,  the Company  recognized an extraordinary loss of $1.1 million from
the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.

     In December 1997, the Company issued unsecured Senior Notes totaling $150.0
million.  The notes bear interest at 6.75% and mature in 2002. Net proceeds from
the notes were used for general  business  purposes and to repay $140.0  million
then outstanding under the Company's revolving bank credit facility.

     At  December  31,  1997,  the  Company  had $22.4  million of cash and cash
equivalents  and had drawn $200.0 million of the $450.0  million  revolving bank
credit  facility.  In addition,  in May 1997,  the Company  filed a $1.0 billion
Shelf  Registration  Statement (the "Shelf") that has been declared effective by
the Securities and Exchange Commission. At December 31, 1997, $800.0 million was
available to be drawn on the Shelf.

     As of December 31, 1997, the Company had commitments to provide improvement
financing  to existing  properties  and to purchase ten medical and other office
buildings  totaling  approximately  $92.1 million.  The Company  intends to fund
these  commitments with a combination of cash on hand,  amounts  available under
its existing credit facility,  proceeds of mortgage prepayments,  if any, and/or
proceeds  of  other  financings  such as the  possible  issuance  of  additional
securities.  In January and February 1998, the Company  acquired ten medical and
other office buildings for $81.6 million with available cash and by borrowing on
the Company's revolving bank credit facility.

     During February 1998, the Company issued  5,495,776  common shares,  issued
additional  Notes totaling $50.0 million and issued 6.7% unsecured  Senior Notes
due 2005 totaling  $100.0  million.  Net proceeds of $253.3 million were used to
repay amounts  outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility and for
general business purposes.

     The Company  continues to seek new  investments to expand and diversify its
portfolio of real estate.  The Company believes that the transactions  described
above will  improve  the  security  of its future  funds from  operations,  cash
available  for  distribution,  and  dividends.  As of  December  31,  1997,  the
Company's debt as a percentage of total book  capitalization  was  approximately
38%. There can be no assurances that debt or equity  financing will be available
to fund the Company's existing commitments or its future growth, but the Company
expects such financing will be available.

Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations

Impact of Inflation

     Management  believes  that the  Company  may not be  adversely  affected by
modest  inflation.  In the real estate market,  inflation  tends to increase the
value of the Company's  underlying  real estate which may be realized at the end
of fixed rent terms. In the health care and hotel industries,  inflation usually
increases the lessees'  revenues,  thereby  increasing the Company's  additional
rent or interest.

Certain Considerations

     The  discussion  and  analysis of the  Company's  financial  condition  and
results of  operations  requires  the  Company  to make  certain  estimates  and
assumptions and contains certain statements of the Company's beliefs,  intent or
expectation concerning  projections,  plans, future events and performance.  The
estimates,  assumptions and statements,  such as those relating to the Company's
ability to expand its portfolio,  performance of its assets,  the ability to pay
dividends from FFO, its tax status as a "real estate  investment  trust" and the
ability to access capital  markets  depends upon various  factors over which the
Company  and/or the  Company's  lessees  have or may have limited or no control.
Those factors include,  without limitation,  the status of the economy,  capital
markets  (including  prevailing  interest rates)  compliance with and changes to
regulations  within the health care industry,  competition,  changes in federal,
state and local  legislation  and other factors.  The Company cannot predict the
impact  of these  factors,  if any.  However,  these  factors  could  cause  the
Company's  actual  results for  subsequent  periods to be  different  from those
stated,  estimated or assumed in this  discussion  and analysis of the Company's
financial  condition and results of  operations.  The Company  believes that its
estimates and assumptions are reasonable and prudent at this time.

     The  Company's  Year 2000  initiative  is being  managed by the  Company to
minimize  any  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  business  operations  and is
scheduled  to be  completed  in 1999.  While the Company  believes  its planning
efforts  are  adequate  to  address  its Year  2000  concerns,  there  can be no
guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Company's systems and
operations rely will be converted on a timely basis and will not have a material
effect on the Company.  The cost of the Year 2000 initiatives is not expected to
be material to the Company's results of operations or financial position.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To the Trustees and Shareholders of Health and Retirement Properties Trust

We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of Health and
Retirement  Properties  Trust as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,  and the related
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the three  years in the period  ended  December  31,  1997.  These  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.  The financial  statements of Hospitality  Properties  Trust (a real
estate  investment  trust in which the Company has a 10.3% and 14.9% interest as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively) have been audited by other auditors
whose  report  has  been  furnished  to  us;  insofar  as  our  opinion  on  the
consolidated  financial  statements  relates to data  included  for  Hospitality
Properties Trust, it is based solely on their report.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  based on our  audits  and the  report of other  auditors,  the
consolidated  financial  statements  referred to above  present  fairly,  in all
material respects,  the financial  position of Health and Retirement  Properties
Trust at  December  31,  1997 and  1996,  and the  consolidated  results  of its
operations  and its cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Trustees and Shareholders of
Hospitality Properties Trust

     We have audited the  consolidated  balance sheet of Hospitality  Properties
Trust  (the  "Company")  as of  December  31,  1997 and  1996,  and the  related
consolidated  statements  of  income,  shareholders'  equity and cash flows (not
separately presented herein) for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and the
period from February 7, 1995  (inception) to December 31, 1995.  These financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards  require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the consolidated  financial  statements  referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects,  the financial position of Hospitality
Properties  Trust as of  December  31,  1997 and  1996  and the  results  of its
operations  and its cash flows for the years ended  December  31, 1997 and 1996,
and for the period from  February 7, 1995  (inception)  to December 31, 1995, in

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Organization

     Health and Retirement  Properties  Trust, a Maryland real estate investment
trust (the  "Company"),  was  organized  on October 9, 1986.  As of December 31,
1997, the Company had investments in 217 properties located in 33 states and the
District of Columbia.  The properties  include 92 long-term care facilities,  58
medical  office and other office  buildings and clinics,  29  government  office
buildings,  26 retirement and assisted  living  communities and 12 nursing homes
with subacute  services.  In addition,  at December 31, 1997,  the Company had a
10.3% equity investment in Hospitality Properties Trust ("HPT"). At December 31,
1997, HPT owned 119 hotels in 30 states.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation.  The consolidated  financial  statements include the
Company's investment in 100% owned subsidiaries. The Company's investment in 50%
or  less  owned  companies  is  accounted  for  using  the  equity  method.  All
inter-company  transactions  have been  eliminated.  The Company uses the income
statement method to account for issuance of common shares of beneficial interest
by HPT. Under this method,  gains and losses reflecting  changes in the value of
the Company's  ownership stake on issuance of stock by HPT are recognized in the
Company's income statement.

     Real Estate Property and Mortgage  Investments.  Real estate properties and
mortgages  are  recorded at cost.  Depreciation  on real estate  investments  is
provided for on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging up
to 40 years. Impairment losses on investments are recognized where indicators of
impairment are present and the  undiscounted  cash flow (net  realizable  value)
estimated  to be  generated  by the  Company's  investments  are  less  than the
carrying amount of such  investments.  The determination of net realizable value
includes  consideration  of many factors  including income to be earned from the
investment, holding costs (exclusive of interest), estimated selling prices, and
prevailing economic and market conditions.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash, over-night repurchase agreements and short
term investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase
are carried at cost plus accrued interest.

     Deferred  Interest  and Finance  Costs.  Costs  incurred to secure  certain
borrowings are capitalized and amortized over the terms of the respective loans.
Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $1.8 million and $1.2
million, respectively.

     Revenue Recognition. Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a
straight line basis over the life of the lease  agreements.  Interest  income is
recognized  as earned  over the terms of the real estate  mortgages.  Additional
rent and interest revenue is recognized as earned.

     Earnings  Per Common  Share.  Basic  earnings  per common share is computed
using the weighted average number of shares  outstanding  during the period.  At
December 31, 1997 and 1996,  $211.7  million and $227.8  million of  convertible
securities  were  convertible  into 11.8 million and 12.7 million  shares of the
Company,  respectively.  Basic  earnings per share equals  diluted  earnings per
share as the effect of these convertible  securities is anti-dilutive to diluted
earnings per share.  Supplemental  income per share for the years ended December
31, 1997,  and 1995 was $1.25 and $1.11,  respectively,  based on the assumption
that the issuance of shares in the Company's  public  offerings  during 1997 and
1995, and the related  repayment of outstanding bank  borrowings,  took place at
the beginning of each year.

     Reclassifications.  Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the prior
years' financial statements to conform with the current year's presentation.

     Federal Income Taxes.  The Company is a real estate  investment trust under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Accordingly, the Company expects
not to be subject to federal income taxes  provided it  distributes  its taxable
income and meets  certain  other  requirements  for  qualifying as a real estate
investment trust.

     Use of Estimates.  Preparation of these financial  statements in conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
certain  estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in these
financial  statements  and related  notes.  The actual results could differ from
these estimates.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     New Accounting Pronouncements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has
issued  Financial  Accounting  Standards Board Statement No. 128,  "Earnings Per
Share" ("FAS 128"),  Statement No. 129 "Disclosure of Information  about Capital
Structure"  ("FAS 129"),  Statement No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income"
("FAS 130") and Statement No. 131  "Disclosures  About Segments of an Enterprise
and Related  Information"  ("FAS 131"). FAS 128 and FAS 129 were adopted for the
Company's 1997 financial  statements.  The adoption of each of these  statements
had no impact on the Company's financial statements. FAS 130 and FAS 131 must be
adopted for the Company's 1998  financial  statements.  The Company  anticipates
that  FAS 130 and  FAS 131  will  have  no  impact  on the  Company's  financial
condition or results of operations.
 
Note 3. Real Estate Properties

     In February 1997,  the Company  agreed to acquire 30 office  buildings (the
"Government  Properties")  leased  to  various  agencies  of the  United  States
Government  through the  acquisition of Government  Properties  Investors,  Inc.
("GPI").  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the net assets and
results  of  operations  have  been  included  in  the  consolidated   financial
statements  since the date of acquisition.  As of December 31, 1997, the Company
completed  the purchase of 29 of the  Government  Properties  for  approximately
$439.5 million and elected not to acquire one of the Government Properties.  The
acquisition of the Government  Properties was funded, in part, with the proceeds
from the issuance of the Company's  common shares pursuant to a public offering,
the issuance of 4,019,429  common  shares of the Company in a private  placement
and the assumption of $27.6 million of debt.

     In September 1997, the Company sold 14 nursing properties for $33.5 million
and purchased  three  nursing  properties  which were  mortgage  financed by the
Company  for  $15.7  million.  In  connection  with  the  sale  of  the  nursing
properties, the company recognized a gain of $2.9 million.

     Also during the year ended  December  31,  1997,  the Company  acquired one
retirement  community,  22 medical  and other  office  buildings  and 20 medical
clinics for an aggregate amount of  approximately  $539.1 million in 13 separate
transactions.  In  addition,  the Company  funded  improvements  to its existing
properties of approximately $4.3 million.

     In January and February 1998, the Company  acquired seven medical and other
office  buildings for $71.6  million.  In addition,  the Company sold one of the
Government  Properties  for $5.7 million.  No gain or loss was recognized on the
sale of this property.

     The Company's real estate properties are leased on a gross lease,  modified
gross lease or triple net lease basis,  pursuant to  noncancellable,  fixed term
operating leases expiring from 1998 to 2022. Generally, the Company's triple net
leases  to  a  single  tenant  are  cross-collateralized,   cross-defaulted  and
cross-guaranteed  and  generally  provide  for renewal  terms at existing  rates
followed by several market rate renewal terms.  The triple net leases  generally
require the lessee to provide all property  management  services.  The Company's
gross leases and modified  gross leases  require the Company to provide  certain
property management services.  The Government Properties and certain medical and
other office properties owned by the Company are managed by M&P Partners Limited
Partnership ("M&P"), an affiliate of the Company.

     The future  minimum lease payments to be received by the Company during the
current terms of the leases as of December 31, 1997,  are  approximately  $223.6
million in 1998,  $216.5 million in 1999, $208.8 million in 2000, $199.1 million
in 2001, $185.4 million in 2002 and $1.4 billion thereafter.

Note 4.  Investment in Hospitality Properties Trust

     At  December  31,  1997,  the  Company  owned  4,000,000  common  shares of
beneficial  interest of HPT with a carrying value of $111.1 million and a market
value,  based on quoted market prices,  of $131.5 million.  HPT is a real estate
investment  trust  which  invests  principally  in income  producing  hotel real
estate. The Company's percentage of ownership of HPT as of December 31, 1997 was
10.3%.  During  December  1997,  HPT completed a public stock offering of common

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

shares. As a result of this transaction,  the Company's ownership  percentage in
HPT was reduced  from 14.9% to 10.3% in 1997 and the Company  realized a gain of
$9.3  million.  Although  the Company  did not sell any shares,  pursuant to the
Company's  accounting policy,  gains and losses on the issuance of common shares
of beneficial  interest by HPT are recognized in the Company's income statement.
Summarized financial data of HPT is as follow (dollars in thousands,  except per
share amounts):

     The  Company  adopted a  Shareholders  Rights Plan  ("Rights").  Each Right
entitles the holder to purchase or to receive  securities or other assets of the
Company, upon the occurrence of certain events. The Rights expire on October 17,
2004 and are redeemable at the Company's option at any time.

     The Company has reserved  1,000,000  shares of the Company's  common shares
under the terms of the 1992  Incentive  Share  Award  Plan (the  "Award  Plan").

The medical and other  office  buildings  were  purchased  for $71.6  million in
January and February 1998.

     The Company is involved in  litigation  with a former  tenant.  The amounts
claimed  against the Company are material.  The Company intends to defend itself
and to pursue its claims and rights  against the former  tenant.  The outcome of
this pending litigation cannot be predicted.

     Lessee's and  mortgagors' of the Company's  long-term  care  facilities and
nursing  facilities are dependent upon  compliance with  regulations  within the
health care industry.  Future changes to these regulations may affect the health
care  industry,  the  Company's  lessees and  mortgagors  and, as a result,  the
Company.

     As of January 1, 1998,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  with REIT
Management  and Research,  Inc.  ("RMR"),  an affiliate of the Company,  and the
Advisor. RMR provides investment,  management,  property management services for
some of the recently acquired Government Properties and medical and other office
buildings  and  administrative  services to the Company.  During the three years
ended  December 31, 1997,  such services were provided by the Advisor and M&P on
similar terms.  RMR is owned by Gerard M. Martin and Barry M. Portnoy,  who also
serve as Managing Trustees of the Company.  RMR is compensated at an annual rate
equal to .7% of the Company's  real estate  investments up to $250.0 million and
 .5% of such investments  thereafter plus property management fees equal to three
percent of gross rents from the managed  properties.  RMR is also entitled to an
incentive fee comprised of restricted shares of the Company's common stock based
on a formula.  Incentive  fees paid to the Advisor for the years ended  December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $1.0 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million,  which
represent  approximately 52,316, 32,846 and 35,560 common shares,  respectively.
At December 31, 1997, the Advisor owned 1,082,056 common shares.

outstanding  under the Company's bank credit  facility.  In connection with this

million,  at a discount (.067%).  The notes bear interest at 6.75% and mature in

outstanding  under the Company's bank credit  facility and for general  business
purposes.

                               Ajay Saini, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer

Date:  February 27, 1998




      


                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.1


                           MASTER MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS MASTER MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered
into as of the 1st day of January,  1998 and effective as of the Effective  Date
(as defined below), by and among REIT Management and Research,  Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Managing Agent"), and the parties identified on the signature page
of this Agreement as Owners (each, an "Owner" and, "collectively, "Owners").

                              W I T N E S S E T H :

         WHEREAS,  Owners are the owners of those premises  described on Exhibit
A,  attached  hereto  and  made  a  part  hereof  (collectively,   the  "Managed
Premises"); and

         WHEREAS,  Owners desire to retain Managing Agent, and Managing Agent is
willing to serve,  as managing agent with respect to the Managed  Premises,  all
upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth;

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the premises and the agreements
herein contained, Owners and Managing Agent hereby agree as follows:

         1.  Engagement.  Subject to the terms and  conditions  hereinafter  set
forth, Owners hereby employ Managing Agent with respect to the Managed Premises.
Managing  Agent hereby  accepts such  employment as managing agent and agrees to
devote  such time,  attention  and effort as may be  appropriate  to operate and
manage the  Managed  Premises  in a  diligent,  orderly  and  efficient  manner.
Managing  Agent may, with Owners'  consent,  subcontract  out some or all of its
obligations hereunder to third party managers;  provided,  however, that, in any
such event,  Managing Agent shall be and remain  primarily  liable to Owners for
performance hereunder.

         Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary set forth in this  Agreement,
the  services to be provided by Manager  hereunder  shall  exclude all  services
(including,  without limitation,  any garage management or cafeteria  management
services)  whose  performance  by an advisor to any Owner  could give rise to an
Owner's  receipt  of  "impermissible   tenant  service  income"  as  defined  in
ss.856(d)(7) of the Internal  Revenue Code (as amended or superseded  hereafter)
or  could  in  any  other  way  jeopardize  an  Owner's  federal  or  state  tax
classification as a real estate investment trust.  Manager shall not perform any
such service and if, in any event, Manager shall inadvertently  perform any such
service, no compensation therefor shall be paid or payable hereunder.

         2.  General  Parameters.  Any or all services may be performed or goods
purchased  by  Managing  Agent  under  arrangements  jointly  with or for  other
properties  owned or managed by Managing Agent and the costs shall be reasonably
apportioned. Managing

Agent may employ  personnel who are assigned to work  exclusively at the Managed
Premises or partly at the Managed  Premises  and other  buildings  owned  and/or
managed  by  Managing  Agent.  Wages,   benefits  and  other  related  costs  of
centralized  accounting  personnel and employees  employed by Managing Agent and
assigned to work  exclusively or partly at the Managed  Premises shall be fairly
apportioned  and  reimbursed,  pro rata,  by Owners in  addition  to the Fee and
Construction Supervision Fee (as defined in Section 5).

                     PARKING OPERATION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS PARKING  OPERATION  MANAGEMENT  AGREEMENT  (this  "Agreement")  is
entered  into as of the 1st day of January  1998,  by and  between  the  persons
identified as "Owner" on the signature  page to this  Agreement  ("Owner"),  and
GARAGE MANAGEMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Contractor").

         In  consideration  of  the  covenants  herein   contained,   Owner  and
Contractor hereby agree as follows:

         1. Scope of  Engagement.  Owner hereby  engages  Contractor  to provide
professional  parking  management  of the parking  garages  and/or  areas at the
premises described on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the "Managed Premises").

         2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof and,
unless  sooner  terminated as herein  provided,  shall end on that date which is
thirty (30) days following  written notice of termination  given by either Owner
or Contractor  to the other.  This  Agreement may be terminated  with respect to
less than all of the properties comprising the Managed Premises.

         3. Independent Contractor. Contractor shall perform all of the services
as an independent  contractor and not as an agent of Owner.  Owner shall reserve
the right to  instruct  Contractor  in  writing  through  Contractor's  agent or
supervisor  regarding  the  extent  of  the  services  and  the  results  to  be
accomplished  thereby;  provided,  however,  Contractor shall have sole control,
supervision,  direction, and responsibility over its employees and the manner of
providing the services. Except as set forth in this Agreement,  Contractor shall
have no  authority  to take any action on behalf of Owner  without  the  express
written consent of Owner.

         4. Operation of the Managed Premises.  For its operation of the Managed
Premises, Contractor agrees to the following:

         (a)      The Managed  Premises are primarily for the convenient use and
                  benefit of tenants and guests of the adjacent  building(s) and
                  will at all times be available to building  tenants and guests
                  (during the hours of  operation)  subject to Owner's  right to
                  designate special usage from time to time.

         (b)      The Managed  Premises will be operated in a manner  consistent
                  with that of  first-class  garages and/or areas in the area in
                  which  the  Managed   Premises   are   located.   Accordingly,
                  Contractor  will staff the operation  with good,  experienced,
                  professional

                  management.  Contractor  will  operate  the  Managed  Premises
                  efficiently and properly through proper  utilization of space,
                  manpower and direction.
