Item 8.01. Other Events.

Health Care Property Investors, Inc. (“HCP”) is revising its historical financial statements to reflect additional properties in discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“FAS 144”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, HCP classified 35 additional properties as held for sale in accordance with FAS 144 and has reported revenue, expenses and net gains from the sale of these properties as discontinued operations for each period presented. This reclassification has no effect on HCP’s reported net income available to common stockholders.

Accordingly, this Current Report on Form 8-K updates Items 6, 7 and 8 of HCP’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2005 10-K”) to reflect the additional properties classified as held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is presented as of December 31, 2005. No attempt has been made to update matters in the Form 10-K except to the extent expressly provided above.
