NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

HEALTH CARE REIT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all 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 for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not
necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1996.

Net income per share has been computed by dividing net income by the average
number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding.


NOTE B - REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company provided permanent
mortgage financings of $26,304,000, invested $36,891,000 in operating leases and
made construction advances of $26,183,000. During the three months ended March
31, 1997, the Company received principal payments on real estate mortgages of
$685,000 and had net advances on working capital loans of $2,698,000.

With respect to the above-mentioned construction advances, funding associated
with seventeen construction loans represented $18,859,000, and funding for
construction in progress in connection with eight properties owned directly by
the Company totaled $7,324,000. During the three months ended March 31, 1997,
five of the construction loans completed the construction phase of the Company's
investment process and were converted to investments in permanent mortgage
loans, with an aggregate investment of $52,492,000. Also during the three months
ended March 31, 1997, one of the construction properties in progress completed
the construction phase of the Company's investment process and was converted to
a permanent operating lease, with an investment balance of $1,588,000.

At March 31, 1997, the Company had $147,140,000 in unfunded commitments.


NOTE C - INDEBTEDNESS AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

In January 1997, in connection with the underwriters' exercise of an over
allotment option associated with the Company's December 18, 1996 offering of
2,200,000 shares of common stock, the Company issued 330,000 shares of Common
Stock, $1.00 par value per share, at the price of $23.875 per share, which
generated net proceeds of $7,485,000 to the Company.



-7-
8




In March 1997, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par
value per share, at the price of $24.375 per share, which generated net proceeds
to the Company of $69,120,000.

In March 1997, the Company closed a $175 million unsecured credit facility which
replaced the Company's then existing secured credit facility. Simultaneous with
the closing of the new credit facility, all senior noteholders released
collateral which had served as security for the Company's $82 million of senior
indebtedness. The senior unsecured notes are rated `BBB-' (triple-B-minus) by
Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co.

The Company has a total of $185,000,000 in unsecured credit facilities bearing
interest at the lenders' prime rate or LIBOR plus 1.125%, of which $84,500,000
was available at March 31, 1997.

NOTE D - INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

Investment securities available for sale are stated at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate component of shareholders'
equity. At March 31, 1997, available-for-sale securities are the common stock of
a corporation, which were obtained by the Company at no cost.


NOTE E - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996,
the Company was contingently liable for certain obligations amounting to
approximately $18,815,000. No significant change in these contingencies had
occurred as of March 31, 1997.


NOTE F - DISTRIBUTIONS PAID TO SHAREHOLDERS

On February 20, 1997, the Company paid a dividend of $0.52 per share to
shareholders of record on February 4, 1997. This dividend related to the period
from October 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996.


NOTE G - EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, Earning per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At
that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to
compute earnings per share. The impact on primary earnings per share and fully
diluted earnings per share is not expected to be material.


NOTE H - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 22, 1997, the Company declared a dividend of $0.525 per share payable
on May 20, 1997 to shareholders of record on May 5, 1997. The dividend relates

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

At March 31, 1997, the Company's net real estate investments totaled
approximately $599,575,000, which included 59 skilled nursing facilities, 73
assisted living facilities, 11 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, 1997, the Company had shareholders' equity of $404,434,000 and a
total outstanding debt balance of $192,597,000, which represents a debt to
equity ratio of 0.48 to 1.0.

In January 1997, in connection with the underwriters exercise of an over
allotment option associated with the Company's December 18, 1996 offering of
2,200,000 shares of common stock, the Company issued 330,000 shares of Common
Stock, $1.00 par value per share, at the price of $23.875 per share, which
generated net proceeds of $7,485,000 to the Company.

In March 1997, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par
value per share, at the price of $24.375 per share, which generated net proceeds
to the Company of $69,120,000.

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the proceeds derived from the
Company's capital raising activities were used to reduce bank debt under the
Company's revolving lines of credit arrangements.

In March 1997, the Company closed a $175 million unsecured credit facility which
replaced the Company's then existing secured credit facility. Simultaneous with
the closing of the new credit facility, all senior noteholders released
collateral which had served as security for the Company's $82 million of senior
indebtedness. The senior unsecured notes are rated `BBB-' (triple-B-minus) by
Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co.

As of March 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $147,140,000 in unfunded
commitments. Under the Company's line of credit arrangements, available funding
totaled $84,500,000. The Company believes its liquidity and various sources of
available capital are sufficient to fund operations, finance future investments,
and meet debt service and dividend requirements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Revenues for three months ended March 31, 1997 were $16,569,000 compared to
$10,890,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Revenue growth resulted
primarily from increased interest income of $2,512,000 and increased operating
lease income of $3,003,000 as a result of additional real estate investments
made during the past twelve months.

Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 totaled $6,743,000, an
increase of $1,530,000 from expenses of $5,213,000 for the same period in 1996.
The increase in total expenses was primarily related to an increase in interest
expense, additional expense associated with the provision for depreciation, and
increased other operating expenses.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $4,011,000
compared to $3,511,000 for the same period in 1996. The increase in the 1997
period was primarily due to the issuance of $30,000,000 Senior Notes in April
1996.



-9-
10



The provision for depreciation for the three month period ended March 31, 1997
totaled $1,185,000, an increase of $710,000 over the comparable period in 1996
as a result of additional operating lease investments.

General and administrative expenses for the three month period in 1997 totaled
$1,180,000, as compared to $890,000 for the same period in 1996. The expenses
for the three month period in 1997 were 7.12% of revenues as compared to 8.17%
for the same period in 1996.

As a result of the various factors mentioned above, net income for the three
month period ended March 31, 1997 was $9,826,000 as compared to $5,677,000 for
the same period in 1996. Net income per share for the three month period ended
March 31, 1997 was $.51 versus $.47 for the comparable 1996 period. The per
share increases resulted from an increase in net income offset by an increase in
average shares outstanding during the 1997 period.
