NOTES TO UNAUDITED 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States 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 six months ended June
30, 2001, are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2001. 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, 2000.


NOTE B - REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company invested $35,591,000 in
real property, made construction advances of $10,325,000 and funded $1,575,000
of equity related investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the
Company sold properties valued at $11,588,000 and received principal payments on
real estate mortgages of $43,217,000.

With respect to the above-mentioned construction advances, funding for
construction in progress in connection with four properties owned directly by
the Company totaled $7,366,000, and funding associated with two construction
loans represented $2,959,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, one of
the construction properties in progress with an investment balance of $9,027,000
completed the construction phase of the Company's investment process and was
converted to permanent operating leases and one of the construction loans with
an investment balance of $2,010,000 was converted to a permanent mortgage loan.


NOTE C - EQUITY INVESTMENTS

Management determines the appropriate classification of an equity investment at
the time of acquisition and reevaluates such designation as of each balance
sheet date. At June 30, 2001, equity investments include the common stock of a
corporation, valued at historical cost, 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. The
ownership interest is accounted for under the equity method.

The diluted earnings per share calculation excludes the dilutive effect of
1,350,000 and 1,813,000 shares for the periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, because the exercise price was greater than the average market
price. The Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock was not included in
this calculation as the effect of the conversion was anti-dilutive.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2001, the Company's net real estate investments totaled
$1,107,535,000 which included 146 assisted living facilities, 48 nursing
facilities and nine specialty care facilities. Depending upon the availability
and cost of external capital, the Company anticipates making additional
investments in health care related facilities. New investments are funded from
temporary borrowings under the Company's line of credit arrangements, internally
generated cash and the proceeds derived from asset sales. Permanent financing
for future investments, which replaces funds drawn under the line of credit
arrangements, is expected to be provided through a combination of private and
public offerings of debt and equity securities and the assumption of secured
debt. 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.

In March, 2001, the Company completed its approximately $200 million asset
divestiture program that it announced in October, 1999 in response to a lack of
capital for health care REITs and long-term care companies. This program
strengthened the Company's portfolio and generated liquidity, enhancing the
Company's balance sheet. The completion of this program positioned the Company
for new investment opportunities.

During the first half of 2001, improved operating results in the public nursing
home sector, reduced development of new assisted living facilities and a shift
in equity funds flow back into income-oriented investments generated new access
to appropriately priced capital for health care REITs.

In June, 2001, the Company issued 3,450,000 shares of Common Stock, $1 par
value, at a price of $22.75 per share, which generated net proceeds of
$74,313,000. Pending their use to invest in additional health care properties,
the proceeds were used primarily to pay down borrowings under the Company's line
of credit arrangements.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company had a total outstanding debt balance of
$371,318,000 and shareholders' equity of $765,447,000 which represents a debt to
equity ratio of .49 to 1.0, and a debt to total capitalization ratio of .33 to
1.0.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company had an unsecured revolving line of credit
expiring March 31, 2003 in the amount of $150,000,000 bearing interest at the
lender's prime rate or LIBOR plus 1.5%. In addition, the Company had an
unsecured revolving line of credit in the amount of $25,000,000 bearing interest
at the lender's prime rate expiring June 30, 2002. At June 30, 2001, under the
Company's line of credit arrangements, available funding, subject to customary
lending conditions, totaled $113,500,000.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company had effective shelf registrations on file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under which the Company may issue up to
$252,344,000 of securities including debt, convertible debt, common and
preferred stock. Depending upon market conditions, 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.

=========== =========== ================ ========== =========== ================
</TABLE>


For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company generated
increased rental income as a result of the completion of real property
construction projects for which the Company began receiving rent and the
purchase of properties previously financed by the Company. This offset a
reduction in interest income due to the repayment of mortgage loans and the
purchase of properties previously financed by the Company with mortgage loans.
Commitment fees and other income decreased as a result of the completion of
construction projects and curtailment of investing activity.

Expenses were comprised of the following:

=========== =========== =============== ========== ========== ================
</TABLE>


The decrease in interest expense for both the three-month and year-to-date
periods was primarily due to lower average borrowings on the Company's lines of
credit and senior notes partially offset by a reduction in the amount of
capitalized interest offsetting interest expense. 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. Capitalized
interest for the three-month and year-to-date periods totaled $205,000 and
$539,000, respectively as compared with $953,000 and $2,174,000 for the same
periods in 2000.

The provision for depreciation increased over the comparable periods in 2000
primarily as a result of additional investments in properties owned directly by
the Company.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for the
three-month and year-to-date periods were 6.21% and 5.95% as compared with 5.69%
and 5.57% for the same periods in 2000.
