To our shareholders,

In the pages that follow, you will find data summarizing each Fund's financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and financial position as of June 30, 2010.

RMR REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND

Relevant Market Conditions

Real Estate Industry Fundamentals.    After almost three years of deteriorating conditions, commercial real estate operating fundamentals appear to have bottomed. While unemployment continues to be stubbornly high, other economic indicators, such as manufacturing and consumer spending, suggest that the U.S. economy may be recovering, albeit at a slower pace than previously expected. This should bode well for commercial real estate demand, but we believe that it may not be until 2011 before commercial real estate landlords begin to have some pricing power. Operating fundamentals in the apartment and hotel sectors, however, have started to recover much earlier than previously expected. Despite weak employment growth, apartment REITs appear to have managed to increase both occupancy and rental rates due to a decline in the home ownership rate and limited new construction. For hotels, recently increased amounts of business travel has caused increased demand for rooms which has generated higher occupancies and slightly higher room rates.

Despite weak real estate operating fundamentals, commercial property values in several major markets have started to improve. Banks appear to be negotiating with borrowers and extending loan maturities in an effort to avoid foreclosures. As a result, the opportunities to take advantage of buying properties at distressed pricing have been more limited than expected. However, there is a significant amount of available capital competing for those properties which are offered, and it is not uncommon to see multiple buyers bidding for the same property.

Real Estate Securities Technicals.    Throughout the first six months of the year, the REIT market experienced increased volatility. REITs were down as much as 10% in early February when concerns about the Greek debt crisis first emerged. Then, over the following 10 weeks, REITs managed to post an impressive 30% rally after encouraging U.S. economic numbers and better than expected first quarter results from real estate companies. During the second quarter, however, renewed concerns about the Greek debt crisis, and the possibility of contagion to other highly indebted European countries, rattled investor confidence. Also, weaker national economic reports and concerns about the growing fiscal deficits in the U.S. put into question the recovery of the U.S. economy and heightened concerns of a possible double dip recession. REIT securities gave back most of their gains from the first four months of 2010 in the latter part of the second quarter and finished the first half of the year up 5.7%.

Fund Strategies, Techniques and Performance

Our primary investment objective is to earn and pay a high level of current income to our common shareholders by investing in real estate companies, including REITs. Our secondary investment objective is capital appreciation. There can be no assurances that we will meet our investment objectives.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, our total return on net asset value, or NAV, (including NAV changes and assuming a hypothetical reinvestment of distributions at NAV) was 13.1%. During

2



that same period, the total return for the MSCI U.S. REIT Total Return Index (an unmanaged index of REIT common stocks) was 5.7%.

The Fund's outperformance versus the MSCI U.S. REIT Total Return Index during the first six months of 2010 was due to a higher concentration of REIT preferred securities in the Fund's portfolio versus in the Index. Also, our investment allocation to hotel and retail REIT preferred stocks contributed positively to the Fund's performance because REIT preferred securities in these sectors outperfomed the market during the first half of the year.

Recent Developments

On July 1, 2010, the Fund entered into a three year, $10 million revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank. Proceeds from the credit facility will be used to fund additional investments and to provide for additional financial flexibility in managing the Fund's investment portfolio. Please refer to page 36 for additional information.

RMR ASIA PACIFIC REAL ESTATE FUND

Relevant Market Conditions

Real Estate Industry Fundamentals.    During the first half of 2010, real estate market conditions in the Asia Pacific region improved. Office rental rates in the key Asia Pacific financial centers of Hong Kong and Singapore began to rise, albeit slowly, while the rental rates in Tokyo appeared to be stabilizing. Increasing employment coupled with rising home prices in the Asia Pacific region in the first half of 2010, resulted in more positive consumer sentiment; and as a result, rents in the region's retail sector have started to stabilize. In large part because of the considerable decline in export volumes across the region resulting from the U.S. and European recessions, rents in the industrial real estate sector have not yet returned to pre-recession levels. Because the Asia Pacific region is generating increasingly positive GDP growth, we believe that industrial leasing activity may improve in the future.

Residential real estate prices across the region continued to improve in the first half of 2010. The Hong Kong market was especially strong because mainland Chinese buyers took advantage of their high levels of liquidity and sought the safety of residential assets amid volatile equity markets. The resurgence in the residential sector demonstrates the robust long term demand for residential real estate across Asia due to favorable demographics and a high savings rate.

The Asia Pacific region, led by China, continues to demonstrate superior GDP growth relative to the rest of the world. The International Monetary Fund, or IMF, expects GDP growth for developing Asia Pacific countries, including China, of 9.2% in 2010 and 8.5% in 2011. This compares to the IMF's expectation of world GDP growth of 3.6% in 2010 and 3.4% in 2011.

Real Estate Securities Technicals.    We anticipate demand for real estate investments in the Asia Pacific region to continue to increase as the Asia Pacific economies continue to demonstrate improving economic growth during the next few years. The number of REITs in the region also continues to increase; the Philippines and India are currently considering new REIT legislation.

Fund Strategies, Techniques and Performance

Our primary investment objective is capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that we will achieve our investment objective.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, our total return on net asset value, or NAV, was negative 9.9%. During that same period, the total return for the EPRA NAREIT Asia Total Return Index (an unmanaged index of Asia Pacific real estate common stocks) was negative 7.8%.

The Fund underperformed the EPRA NAREIT Asia Total Return Index over this period due to the Fund's differing weighting of certain countries or securities. The Fund holds a number of overweight positions in several major Chinese and Hong Kong real estate companies that we believe have excellent long term prospects. However, during the first half of 2010, most of the stocks of these companies were under selling pressure due to measures introduced by the Chinese and Hong Kong governments designed to curb the rapid growth in residential property prices. In our view, market participants have overreacted to these measures and their perceived impact on company long term prospects.

Recent Developments

On May 4, 2010, John K. Snowden, CFA, became the portfolio manager for the Fund. Mr. Snowden replaced Roberto Versace, who resigned from MacarthurCook Investment Managers Limited ("MacarthurCook") to pursue other opportunities. Prior to joining MacarthurCook in May 2010, Mr. Snowden was Head of Global Property Securities at Colonial First State Global Asset Management ("Colonial") between 2006 and 2009, where he managed over $7 billion of real estate securities funds around the world. Before joining Colonial, Mr. Snowden was a Managing Director and Head of UBS' Global Real Estate Securities Division for Australia, New Zealand and Asia from 1998 to 2006.

Thank you for your continued support.

Notes to Portfolio of Investments

*
The company is organized as a real estate investment trust as defined by the laws of its country of domicile.

(a)
P-Notes are participation interest notes that are issued by banks or broker dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying equity, debt, currency or market. When the P-Note matures, the issuer will pay to, or receive from, the purchaser the difference between the nominal value of the underlying instrument at the time of purchase and that instrument's value at maturity. Investments in P-Notes involve the same risks associated with a direct investment in the underlying foreign companies or foreign securities markets that they seek to replicate. However, there can be no assurance that the trading price of P-Notes will equal the underlying value of the foreign companies or foreign securities markets that they seek to replicate; this is so, in large part, because of the counterparty risk associated with these investments. The Fund relies on the creditworthiness of such counterparty and has no rights under a P-Note against the issuer of the underlying security.

(b)
As of June 30, 2010, this security had not paid a distribution.

(c)
Rate reflects 7 day yield as of June 30, 2010.

(d)
As of June 30, 2010, the Fund held $59,014,639 of securities fair valued in accordance with the policies adopted by the board of trustees, which represents 90% of the Fund's total investments. See Note A(5) to the financial statements.

The Fund reorganized with predecessor RMR Funds during the period from June 17, 2009 through June 23, 2009. Share and per share information has been updated to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split that occurred immediately prior to the reorganizations. See Notes A and E to the financial statements.
(c)
Amounts for periods prior to December 18, 2008 are net of expenses waived by RMR Advisors.
(d)
As discussed in Note A (8) to the financial statements, these amounts are subject to change if issuers of the Fund's investments characterize a portion of 2010 distributions as capital gains and return of capital.
(e)
Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
(f)
Total return based on per share market price assumes the purchase of common shares at the market price on the first day and sale of common shares at the market price on the last day of the period indicated; dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at market prices on the ex-dividend date. The total return based on net asset value, or NAV, assumes the purchase of common shares at NAV on the first day and sale of common shares at NAV on the last day of the period indicated; distributions are assumed to be reinvested at NAV on the ex-dividend date. Results represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Total return would have been lower for periods prior to December 18, 2008 if RMR Advisors had not contractually waived a portion of its investment advisory fee.
(g)
During the year ended December 31, 2007, RMR Advisors reimbursed the Fund $2,070 for trading losses incurred by the Fund to a trading error. The impact of this reimbursement was less than $0.005 per share and had no impact on total returns.
(h)
Asset coverage per preferred share equals net assets attributable to common shares plus the liquidation preference of the preferred shares divided by the total number of preferred shares outstanding at the end of the period.
(i)
Asset coverage ratio per preferred share equals asset coverage per preferred share divided by liquidation value per preferred share.
(j)
Annualized.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2010 (unaudited)

Note A

(1)   Organization

RMR Real Estate Income Fund, or RIF, was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 19, 2008, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, as a non-diversified closed end management investment company. RIF had no operations prior to June 17, 2009, other than matters relating to RIF's establishment, registration of common shares and preferred shares under the Securities Act of 1933, and the sale of a total of 5,000 common shares for $100,000 to RMR Advisors, Inc., or RMR Advisors. On June 17, 2009, RIF completed a 4:1 reverse stock split immediately prior to a series of reorganizations with several affiliated funds. RMR Real Estate Fund (RMR), RMR Hospitality and Real Estate Fund (RHR), RMR F.I.R.E. Fund (RFR), RMR Preferred Dividend Fund (RDR) and RMR Dividend Capture Fund (RCR) reorganized with RIF on separate dates during the period from June 17, 2009 to June 23, 2009. Following the reorganizations, RIF assumed the accounting and performance history of RMR for periods prior to June 17, 2009. See Note E for a complete description of the reorganizations.

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund, or RAP, and collectively with RIF, the Funds, was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 17, 2008, and is registered under the 1940 Act, as a non-diversified closed end management investment company. RAP had no operations prior to June 16, 2009, other than matters relating to RAP's establishment, registration of common shares under the Securities Act of 1933, and the sale of a total of 5,000 common shares for $100,000 to RMR Advisors. On June 16, 2009, RAP completed a 1.5:1 reverse stock split immediately prior to the reorganization of each of Old RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund (Old RAP) and RMR Asia Real Estate Fund (RAF) with RAP on June 16, 2009. Following the reorganizations, RAP assumed the accounting and performance history of Old RAP for periods prior to June 16, 2009. See Note E for a complete description of the reorganizations.

(2)   Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying June 30, 2010 financial statements have been prepared without audit. The Funds believe that disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of the Funds' management, all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The Funds' operating results for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected on an annual basis for this year or for any future years.

(3)   Use of Estimates

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

(4)   Portfolio Valuation

Investment securities of RIF are valued at the latest sales price whenever that price is readily available on that day; securities for which no sales were reported on that day, unless otherwise noted, are valued

19



RMR Funds
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

June 30, 2010 (unaudited)

at the average of the closing bid and ask prices on that day. Securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market, or NASDAQ, are normally valued by RIF at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, or NOCP, provided by NASDAQ each business day. The NOCP is the most recently reported price as of 4:00:02 p.m., eastern time, unless that price is outside the range of the "inside" bid and asked prices (i.e., the bid and asked prices that dealers quote to each other when trading for their own accounts); in that case, NASDAQ will adjust the price to equal the inside bid or asked price, whichever is closer. Some fixed income securities may be valued using values provided by a pricing service.

Investment securities of RAP are valued at the latest sales price reflected on the consolidated tape of the exchange that reflects the principal market for such securities whenever that price is readily available on that day; securities for which no sales were reported on that day, unless otherwise noted, are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask prices on that day. Some foreign markets close before the close of customary trading sessions on NYSE Amex (usually 4:00 p.m. eastern time). Often, events occur after the principal foreign exchange on which foreign securities trade has closed, but before the NYSE Amex closes, that RAP determines could affect the value of the foreign securities RAP owns or cause their earlier trading prices to be unreliable as a basis for determining value. If these events are expected to materially affect RAP's net asset value, or NAV, the prices of such securities are adjusted to reflect their estimated fair value as of the close of the NYSE Amex, as determined in good faith under procedures established by RAP's board of trustees.

Any of the Funds' securities which are not readily marketable, which are not traded or which have other characteristics of illiquidity are valued by the Funds at fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Funds' boards of trustees. Numerous factors may be considered when determining fair value of a security, including cost at date of purchase, type of security, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities of the same type outstanding. See Note A (5) for a further description of fair value measurements. Short term debt securities with less than 60 days until maturity may be valued at amortized cost plus interest accrued, which approximates market value.

(5)   Fair Value Measurements

The Funds report the value of their securities at their fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. When valuing portfolio securities, the Funds use observable market data when possible and otherwise use other significant observable or unobservable inputs for fair value measurements. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions we believe that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk; for example, the risk inherent in using a particular valuation technique to measure fair value and the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Funds' own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three tier hierarchy of inputs used to value securities reported in these financial statements is summarized below:

When the S&P 500 Index (an unmanaged index published as Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 common stocks) fluctuates significantly from the previous day close, RAP believes that the closing price of foreign securities on the principal foreign exchange on which they trade may no longer represent the fair value of these securities at the time the U.S. market closes and RAP fair values its investment securities. In such circumstances, RAP reports holdings in its foreign securities at their fair values as determined by an independent security pricing service. The service uses a multi-factor model that includes such information as the security's local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depository receipts and futures, as applicable. The model generates an adjustment factor for each security that is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing events, resulting in the security's reported fair value. RAP used this model to fair value its foreign investment securities on June 30, 2010.

There were no investments in securities characterized as Level 3 as of December 31, 2009 or June 30, 2010 for RAP. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no transfers of investments for which we began or discontinued to use Level 3 inputs to measure value.

(6)   Securities Transactions and Investment Income

The Funds record securities transactions on a trade date basis, dividend income on the ex-dividend date and any non-cash dividends at the fair market value of the securities received. The Funds use the accrual method for recording interest income, including accretion of original issue discount, where applicable, and accretion of discount on short term investments and indentified cost basis for realized gains and losses from securities transactions.

(7)   Taxes

The Funds have qualified and each intends to qualify in the future as a "regulated investment company" and to comply with the applicable provisions of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, so that they will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. However, the Funds

may be subject to a 4% excise tax to the extent they do not distribute substantially all taxable earnings each year.

Some foreign governments may subject the Funds' investment income and securities sales to withholding or other taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, $420 of foreign taxes have been withheld from distributions to RIF and $104,054 of foreign taxes have been withheld from distributions to RAP. These amounts are recorded as a reduction of dividend income.

At June 30, 2010, the Funds did not have any uncertain tax positions. Each of the tax years in the three year period ended December 31, 2008 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Funds did not incur any tax related interest or penalties.

(8)   Distributable Earnings

RIF earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of RIF to pay a level distribution amount to common shareholders on a quarterly basis if, when and in such amounts as may be determined by RIF's board of trustees in its discretion in light of such factors as may be considered by the board of trustees, which may or may not include market and economic conditions, and subject to compliance with applicable law, RIF's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, RIF's bylaws, RIF's credit agreement entered into with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, described in Note G and other objectives. This policy is not fundamental and may be changed by RIF's board of trustees without shareholder vote. RIF's distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. RIF's distributions may consist of ordinary income (net investment income and short term capital gains), long term capital gains and return of capital. To the extent RIF's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carry forwards, it is the policy of RIF not to distribute such gains. On June 14, 2010, RIF declared a distribution of $0.42 per common share that was paid on July 2, 2010. Distributions to preferred shareholders are determined as described in Note D.

RIF has substantial investments in real estate investment trusts, or REITs, which are generally not subject to federal income taxes. Distributions that RIF receives from REITs can be classified as ordinary income, capital gain income or return of capital by the REITs that make these distributions to RIF. However, it is not possible for RIF to characterize distributions received from REITs during interim periods because the REIT issuers do not report their tax characterizations until subsequent to year end. Final characterization of RIF's 2010 distributions to shareholders is also dependent upon the magnitude or timing of the Fund's securities transactions prior to year end. Therefore it is likely that some portion of RIF's 2010 investment income and distributions to shareholders will be recharacterized as long term capital gain and return of capital for financial statement and U.S. federal income tax purposes subsequent to year end and reflected accordingly in RIF's year end financial statements.

RAP earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of RAP to make distributions of its income at least annually in amounts at least equal to the amount necessary to maintain its status as a regulated investment company. Certain of RAP's investments are in real estate companies characterized as passive foreign investment companies, or PFICs, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. RAP is required to mark its PFIC investments to current market value and to recognize the unrealized gain as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, PFIC investments

24



RMR Funds

may cause RAP to recognize and distribute taxable income without a corresponding receipt of cash. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. RAP's distributions may consist of ordinary income (net investment income, PFIC mark to market adjustments and short term capital gains), long term capital gains and return of capital. To the extent RAP's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carry forwards, it is the policy of RAP not to distribute such gains.

As of December 31, 2009, RIF had a total net capital loss carry forward for federal income tax purposes of $47,290,559, of which $6,317,413 expires in 2016 and $40,973,146 expires in 2017.

As of December 31, 2009, RAP had a total net capital loss carry forward for federal income tax purposes of $38,575,437, of which $831,685 expires in 2014, $14,865,619 expires in 2015, $20,289,338 expires in 2016 and $2,588,795 expires in 2017.

The net capital loss carry forward for RIF and RAP includes $5,642,802 and $29,888,822, respectively, of capital loss carry forwards that were acquired in connection with the reorganizations (See Note E). Federal tax rules limit the Funds' ability to use these acquired capital loss carry forwards.

Under current tax law, certain capital, net foreign currency losses and net PFIC mark to market losses realized after October 31 within the taxable year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the tax year ended December 31, 2009, RAP elected to defer net capital losses of $596,605 arising between November 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009.

Although subject to adjustments, the cost, gross unrealized appreciation and unrealized depreciation of the Funds' investments for federal income tax purposes as of June 30, 2010, are as follows:.

 
  RIF   RAP  

Cost

  $ 105,962,897   $ 71,013,544  
           

Gross unrealized appreciation

  $ 7,289,732   $ 2,747,465  

Gross unrealized depreciation

    (22,928,638 )   (8,448,719 )
           

Net unrealized depreciation

  $ (15,638,906 ) $ (5,701,254 )
           

(9)   Concentration of Risk

Under normal market conditions, RIF's investments are concentrated in income producing common shares, preferred shares and debt securities, including convertible preferred and debt securities, issued by real estate companies and REITs. The value of RIF's shares may fluctuate more than the shares of a fund not concentrated in the real estate industry due to economic, legal, regulatory, technological or other developments affecting the United States real estate industry.

Under normal market conditions, RAP's investments are concentrated in common shares, preferred shares and debt securities, including convertible preferred and debt securities and warrants to purchase equity securities, issued by Asia Pacific real estate companies and REITs. The value of RAP's shares may fluctuate more than the shares of a fund not concentrated in the real estate industry or in the Asia Pacific region due to economic, legal, regulatory, technological or other developments affecting the Asia Pacific real estate industry and securities market.

(10) Foreign Securities Risk

As compared to U.S. securities, foreign securities may be issued by companies which provide less financial and other information, and which are subject to less developed and difficult to access legal systems, less stringent accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or different governmental regulations. As compared to U.S. securities markets, foreign securities markets may have different settlement procedures, may have higher transaction costs, may be conducted in a less regulated manner, are generally smaller and may be less liquid and more volatile than securities markets in the U.S. The value of foreign securities may also decline or be unstable because of political, social or economic events or instability outside of the U.S.

(11) RAP Foreign Currency Transactions

The accounting records of RAP are maintained in U.S. dollars. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective transaction dates.

RAP does not isolate the portion of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of investments. Such fluctuations are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represents net foreign currency gain (loss) from forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gain (loss) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on RAP's accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

Net unrealized foreign currency appreciation/(depreciation) arises from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in exchange rates.

Advisory, Subadvisory and Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

RIF has an investment advisory agreement with RMR Advisors, to provide RIF with a continuous investment program, to make day to day investment decisions and to generally manage the business affairs of RIF in accordance with its investment objectives and policies. Pursuant to the agreement, RMR Advisors is compensated at an annual rate of 0.85% of RIF's average daily managed assets. Managed assets means the total assets of RIF less liabilities other than any indebtedness entered into for purposes of leverage. For purposes of calculating managed assets, debt and the liquidation preference of preferred shares is not considered a liability. RIF incurred advisory fees of $370,129 during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

RAP has an investment advisory agreement with RMR Advisors, to provide RAP with a continuous investment program, oversee the subadvisor and generally manage the business affairs of RAP in accordance with its investment objectives and policies. Pursuant to the agreement, RMR Advisors is compensated at an annual rate of 1% of RAP's average daily managed assets. RMR Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its annual fee equal to 0.25% of RAP's average daily

managed assets until May 25, 2012. RAP incurred net advisory fees of $259,284 during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The amount of fees waived by RMR Advisors was $86,428 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

RMR Advisors has entered into a subadvisory agreement with MacarthurCook Investment Managers Limited, or MacarthurCook, to make day to day investment decisions and to generally manage the business affairs of RAP in accordance with its investment objectives and policies. Pursuant to the agreement, RMR Advisors, and not RAP, pays the subadvisor a monthly fee equal to an annual rate of 0.375% of RAP's average daily managed assets. MacarthurCook has agreed to waive a portion of the fee payable by RMR Advisors so that until May 25, 2012, the fee payable to MacarthurCook by RMR Advisors will be equal to 0.25% of RAP's average daily managed assets.

RMR Advisors also performs administrative functions for each Fund pursuant to an administration agreement with such Fund. RMR Advisors has entered into a subadministration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, or State Street, to perform substantially all fund accounting and other administrative services for each Fund. Under each administration agreement, RMR Advisors is entitled to reimbursement of the cost of providing administrative services. RIF and RAP reimbursed RMR Advisors $61,210 and $60,079, respectively, for subadministrative fees charged by State Street for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Each trustee who is not a director, officer or employee of RMR Advisors, and who is not an "interested person" of the Funds as defined under the 1940 Act, is considered to be a "disinterested trustee". Disinterested trustees are each paid by the Funds an annual retainer plus attendance fees for board and committee meetings. RIF and RAP incurred trustee fees and expenses of $12,735 and $12,820, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Each Fund's board of trustees, and separately the disinterested trustees, authorized the Fund to make reimbursement payments to RMR Advisors for costs related to the Fund's compliance and internal audit programs. RIF and RAP incurred compliance and internal audit expenses of $58,100 and $57,712, respectively, which includes the Funds' allocated portion of the salary of their chief compliance officer, during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Funds also participate in pooled insurance programs with RMR Advisors and make payments of allocated portions of related premiums. RIF and RAP incurred allocated insurance expenses of $56,454 and $39,341, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

RIF Preferred Shares

On June 17, 2009, in connection with the reorganization of RIF with RMR, RIF issued 438 Series T auction preferred shares with a total liquidation preference of $10,950,000. On June 18, 2009, in connection with reorganization of RIF with RFR, RIF issued 47 Series W auction preferred shares with a total liquidation preference of $1,175,000. On June 19, 2009, in connection with the reorganization of RIF with RHR, RIF issued 91 Series Th auction preferred shares with a total liquidation preference of $2,275,000. On June 22, 2009, in connection with the reorganization of RIF with RCR, RIF issued 27 Series F auction preferred shares with a total liquidation preference of $675,000. On June 23, 2009, in connection with the reorganization of RIF with RDR, RIF issued 64 Series M auction preferred shares with a total liquidation preference of $1,600,000. The preferred shares are senior to RIF's common shares and rank on parity with each other class or series of preferred shares of RIF as to the payment of periodic distributions, including distribution of assets upon liquidation. If RIF does not timely cure a failure to (1) maintain asset coverage for the preferred shares as required by any rating agency rating RIF's preferred shares, or (2) maintain "asset coverage", as defined in the 1940 Act, of at least 200%, the preferred shares will be subject to mandatory and/or optional redemption in accordance with the terms of such preferred shares contained in RIF's bylaws in an amount equal to their liquidation preference plus accumulated but unpaid distributions. The holders of the preferred shares have voting rights equal to the holders of RIF's common shares and generally vote together with the holders of the common shares as a single class. Holders of the preferred shares, voting as a separate class, also are entitled to elect two of RIF's trustees. RIF pays distributions on the preferred shares at a rate set at auctions held for each series of preferred shares generally every seven days. Distributions are

28



RMR Funds
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

June 30, 2010 (unaudited)


generally payable every seven days, on the first business day following the end of a distribution period. The preferred share distribution rate for each series was as follows as of June 30, 2010:

Series
  Rate   Date of Auction  

Series M

    0.263 % 6/28/2010  

Series T

    0.750 % 6/29/2010  

Series W

    0.263 % 6/30/2010  

Series Th

    0.280 % 6/24/2010  

Series F

    0.263 % 6/25/2010  

To date, no auctions for preferred securities of RIF have failed to attract sufficient clearing bids (such auctions are commonly referred to as "failed" auctions). However, RBC Capital Markets Corporation, an affiliate of RIF's lead broker dealer for its preferred securities, had previously acquired for its own account a portion of RIF's preferred securities in the auctions, and could ultimately come to own for its own account all or substantially all of such preferred securities if in the future it again begins to acquire such preferred securities for its own account. According to the Royal Bank of Canada's (the parent company of RBC Capital Markets Corporation) Schedule 13G filing, dated as of May 31, 2010, it has, for the time being, ceased to be the beneficial owner of any issued and outstanding RIF preferred shares. If RBC Capital Markets Corporation had not historically been a purchaser of preferred securities in RIF's auctions, some auctions likely would have failed and holders of RIF's preferred shares would not have been able to sell their preferred shares in some auctions. There can be no assurance that RBC Capital Markets Corporation or any other of its affiliates will purchase RIF preferred shares in any future auction of RIF preferred securities in which demand is insufficient for RIF to sell all offered preferred shares, or that RIF will not have any auction for its preferred securities fail. If an auction of RIF's preferred shares should fail, the dividend rate for the next succeeding dividend period is set according to a pre-determined formula, and the resulting rate may be higher than the rate which RIF would otherwise pay as a result of a successful auction. If an auction fails, holders of RIF's preferred shares may not be able to sell their preferred shares in that auction. If auctions for RIF's preferred shares fail, or if market conditions generally frustrate RIF's ability to enhance investment results through the investment of capital attributable to its outstanding preferred shares, such factors may cause RIF to change the form and/or amount of investment leverage used by RIF.

RIF actively manages compliance with asset coverage and other financial ratio requirements applicable to the preferred shares. In order to facilitate compliance with such requirements, and without further notice of its intention to do so, RIF may from time to time purchase or otherwise acquire its outstanding preferred shares in the open market, in other nondiscriminatory secondary market transactions, pursuant to tender offers or other offers to repurchase preferred shares, or in other permissible purchase transactions, and also may from time to time call or redeem preferred shares in accordance with their terms.

Reorganizations

RIF

RIF and RMR:

On June 17, 2009, RIF acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of RMR, pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the boards of trustees of RMR and RIF on March 26, 2009, and by the shareholders of RMR at a special meeting on June 4, 2009. The purpose of this transaction was to combine the funds managed by RMR Advisors with comparable investment objectives and strategies and seek to lower certain fixed administrative expenses. The reorganization was structured to qualify as a tax free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Immediately prior to the reorganization, the net assets of RIF were $21,204.

The investment portfolio of RMR, with a fair value of $34,319,302 and identified cost of $62,014,620, was the principal asset acquired by RIF. For financial purposes, the assets acquired and shares issued were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from RMR was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of RIF's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Immediately prior to the reorganization, the net assets of RMR were $22,557,627.

As a result of this reorganization, each holder of RMR common shares received common shares of RIF having an aggregate net asset value (NAV) equal to the aggregate NAV of the common shareholder's RMR common shares. As of the close of business on June 17, 2009, the NAV of RMR was $3.306 per common share and the NAV of RIF was $4.240 per common share. RIF completed a 4:1 reverse stock split on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 immediately prior to the reorganization of RMR with RIF and its opening NAV on Thursday, June 18, 2009 was $16.952. Each common share of RMR was converted into 0.195 common shares of RIF. Immediately after this reorganization, the combined net assets of RIF amounted to $22,578,831. In connection with the reorganization, RIF assumed the accounting and performance history of RMR.

As a result of this reorganization, the holders of Series T preferred shares of RMR received Series T preferred shares of RIF. The aggregate liquidation preference of RIF Series T preferred shares received by holders of RMR Series T preferred shares in the reorganization was equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the RMR Series T preferred shares held by such holders immediately prior to the reorganization.

The auction date, rate period and dividend payment date of RIF Series T preferred shares issued in the reorganization are the same as that of the RMR Series T preferred shares exchanged in the reorganization. The dividend rate for the initial rate period of RIF Series T preferred shares was identical to the dividend rate set at the most recent auction for RMR Series T preferred shares prior to RMR's reorganization with RIF.

RIF and RFR:

On June 18, 2009, RIF acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of RFR, pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the boards of trustees of RFR and RIF on March 26, 2009, and by the shareholders of RFR at a special meeting on June 4, 2009. The purpose of this transaction was to combine the funds managed by RMR Advisors with comparable investment objectives and strategies and seek to lower certain fixed administrative expenses. The reorganization was structured to qualify as a tax free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The investment portfolio of RFR, with a fair value of $4,119,848 and identified cost of $8,174,016, was the principal asset acquired by RIF. For financial purposes, the assets acquired and shares issued were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from RFR was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of RIF's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Immediately prior to the reorganization, the net assets of RIF were $22,629,661.

As a result of this reorganization, each holder of RFR common shares received common shares of RIF having an aggregate NAV equal to the aggregate NAV of the common shareholder's RFR common shares. As of the close of business on June 18, 2009, the NAV of RFR was $2.082 per common share and the NAV of RIF was $16.990 per common share. Each common share of RFR was converted into 0.123 common shares of RIF. Immediately after the reorganization, the combined net assets of RIF amounted to $25,719,334.

As a result of this reorganization, the holders of Series W preferred shares of RFR received Series W preferred shares of RIF. The aggregate liquidation preference of RIF Series W preferred shares received by holders of RFR Series W preferred shares in the reorganization was equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the RFR Series W preferred shares held by such holders immediately prior to the reorganization.

The auction date, rate period and dividend payment date of RIF Series W preferred shares issued in the reorganization are the same as that of the RFR Series W preferred shares exchanged in the reorganization. The dividend rate for the initial rate period of RIF Series W preferred shares was identical to the dividend rate set at the most recent auction for RFR Series W preferred shares prior to RFR's reorganization with RIF.

RIF and RHR:

On June 19, 2009, RIF acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of RHR, pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the boards of trustees of RHR and RIF on March 26, 2009, and by the shareholders of RHR at a special meeting on June 4, 2009.

The investment portfolio of RHR, with a fair value of $9,671,628 and identified cost of $16,667,618, was the principal asset acquired by RIF. For financial purposes, the assets acquired and shares issued

Brokerage Policy

Subject to the supervision of the board of trustees, RMR Advisors is authorized to employ such securities brokers and dealers for the purchase and sale of Fund assets and to select the brokerage commission rates at which such transactions are effected. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute transactions for the Funds, RMR Advisors seeks the best execution available (which may or may not result in paying the lowest available brokerage commission or lowest spread). In so doing, RMR Advisors considers all factors it believes are relevant to obtaining best execution, including such factors as: the net price available; the reliability, integrity and financial condition of the broker; the size of and difficulty in executing the order; the value of the expected contribution of the broker and the scope and quality of research it provides.

RMR Advisors may select brokers that furnish it or its affiliates or personnel, directly or through third party or correspondent relationships, with research or brokerage services which provide, in its view, appropriate assistance to it in the investment decision making or trade execution processes. Such research or brokerage services may include, without limitation and to the extent permitted by applicable law: research reports on companies, industries and securities; economic and financial data; financial publications; and broker sponsored industry conferences. Research or brokerage services obtained in this manner may be used in servicing any or both of the Funds. Such products and services may disproportionately benefit one Fund relative to another Fund based on the amount of brokerage commissions paid by such Fund and such other Funds. To the extent that RMR Advisors uses commission dollars to obtain research or brokerage services, it will not have to pay for those products and services itself. RMR Advisors may use any such research for the benefit of all or any of its Funds and not just those paying for it.

RMR Advisors may endeavor, subject to best execution, to execute trades through brokers who, pursuant to such arrangements, provide research or brokerage services in order to ensure the continued receipt of research or brokerage services it believes are useful in its decision making or trade execution processes.

RMR Advisors may pay, or be deemed to have paid, commission rates higher than it could have otherwise paid in order to obtain research or brokerage services. Such higher commissions would be paid in accordance with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires RMR Advisors to determine in good faith that the commission paid is reasonable in relation to the value of the research or brokerage services provided. RMR Advisors believes that using commission dollars to obtain the type of research or brokerage services mentioned above enhances its investment research and trading processes, thereby increasing the prospect for higher investment returns.

Shareholder Nominations and Proposals

Each Fund's bylaws require compliance with certain procedures for a Fund shareholder to properly make a nomination for election to the board or to propose other business for the Fund. If a shareholder who is entitled to do so under a Fund's bylaws wishes to nominate a person or persons for election to the board or propose other business for the Fund, that shareholder must provide a written notice to the Fund's Secretary at 400 Centre Street, Newton, MA 02458. To be eligible to make a nomination or submit a proposal for other business at a Fund's 2011 annual meeting, a shareholder generally must (1) have continuously held at least $2,000 in market value, or 1%, of the shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting on such election or the proposal for other business, as the case may be, for at least one year from the date such shareholder gives the notice provided for above, and continuously hold such shares through and including the time of the annual meeting (including any postponement or adjournment thereof), and (2) be a shareholder of record at the time of giving notice, and through and including the time of the annual meeting (including any postponement or adjournment thereof). The shareholder's notice must generally set forth specified information about the nominee and associates of the nominee, the shareholder and associates of the shareholder, any other business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting, and must set forth the name and address of any other shareholder supporting the shareholder's nomination or proposal to the extent known by the shareholder.

At the same time as the submission of any shareholder nomination or proposal of other business to be considered at a shareholders' meeting that, if approved and implemented by the Fund, would cause the Fund to be in breach of any covenant of the Fund or otherwise cause a default (in any case, with or without notice or lapse of time) in any existing debt instrument or agreement of the Fund or other material contract or agreement of the Fund, the proponent shareholder or shareholders must submit to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Fund (i) evidence satisfactory to the board of the lender's or contracting party's willingness to waive the breach of covenant or default or (ii) a detailed plan for repayment of the indebtedness to the lender or curing the contractual breach or default and satisfying any resulting damage claim, specifically identifying the actions to be taken or the source of funds, which plan must be satisfactory to the board in its discretion, and evidence of the availability to the Fund of substitute credit or contractual arrangements similar to the credit or contractual arrangements which are implicated by the shareholder nomination or other proposal that are at least as favorable to the Fund, as determined by the board in its discretion.

Additionally, if (i) submission of any shareholder nomination or proposal of other business to be considered at a shareholders' meeting that could not be considered or, if approved, implemented by the Fund without making a filing with or otherwise notifying or obtaining the consent, approval or other action of any federal, state, municipal or other governmental or regulatory body (a "Governmental Action") or (ii) such shareholder's ownership of shares or any solicitation of proxies or votes or holding or exercising proxies by such shareholder or any of such shareholder's associates, or any proposed nominee or any of such proposed nominee's associates, would require Governmental Action, then, at the same time as the submission of any shareholder nomination or proposal of other business to be considered at a shareholders' meeting, the proponent shareholder or shareholders must submit to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Fund (x) evidence satisfactory to the board that any and all Governmental Action has been given or obtained, including, without limitation, such evidence as the board may require so that any nominee may be determined to satisfy any suitability or other requirements or (y) if such evidence was not obtainable from a governmental or regulatory body by such time despite the shareholder's diligent and best efforts, a detailed plan for making or obtaining the Governmental Action prior to the election of any such proposed nominee or the implementation of such proposal, which plan must be satisfactory to the board in its discretion.

42


To be timely, the notice must be delivered to the Fund's Secretary not later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the 120th day nor earlier than the 150th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the preceding year's annual meeting. If the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than 30 days earlier or later than the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year's annual meeting, notice by the shareholder, to be timely, must be so delivered not later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the 10th day following the earlier of the day on which (i) notice of the date of the annual meeting is mailed or otherwise made available or (ii) public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by the Fund. Neither the postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting, nor the public announcement of such postponement or adjournment, commences a new time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above. No shareholder may give a notice to nominate or propose other business, and no such notice shall be effective, unless such shareholder holds a certificate for all shares owned by such shareholder during all times described above, and a copy of each such certificate held by such shareholder at the time of giving such notice accompanies such shareholder's notice.

Copies of each Fund's bylaws, including the provisions which concern the requirements for shareholder nominations and proposals, may be obtained by writing to the Fund's Secretary at 400 Centre Street, Newton, MA 02458.

The board of trustees of each Fund have adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (each, a "Plan"), sometimes referred to as an opt-out plan. You will have all your cash distributions invested in common shares automatically unless you elect to receive cash. As part of each Plan, you will have the opportunity to purchase additional common shares by submitting a cash payment for the purchase of such shares (the "Cash Purchase Option"). Your cash payment, if any, for the additional shares may not exceed $10,000 per quarter, per Plan and must be for a minimum of $100 per quarter. Wells Fargo Bank N.A. is the plan agent and paying agent for each Plan. The plan agent will receive your distributions and additional cash payments under the Cash Purchase Option and either purchase common shares in the open market for your account or directly from the applicable Fund. If you elect not to participate in a Plan, you will receive all cash distributions in cash paid by check mailed to you (or, generally, if your shares are held in street name, to your broker) by the paying agent.

The number of common shares of each Fund you will receive if you do not opt out of a Plan will be determined as follows:

(1)
If, on a distribution payment date for a Fund, the market price per common share plus estimated per share brokerage commissions applicable to an open market purchase of common shares is below the net asset value per common share on that payment date, the plan agent will receive the distribution in cash and, together with your additional cash payments, if any, will purchase common shares of that Fund in the open market, on the NYSE Amex or elsewhere, for your account prior to the next ex-dividend date (or 60 days after the distribution payment date, which ever is sooner, in the case of RAP). It is possible that the market price for a Fund's common shares may increase before the plan agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the plan agent may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid to you in common shares newly issued by a Fund. In the event it appears that the plan agent will not be able to complete the open market purchases prior to the next ex-dividend date, each Fund will determine whether to issue the remaining shares at the greater of (i) net asset value per common share at the time of purchase or (ii) 100% of the per common share market price at the time of purchase. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested amounts.

(2)
If, on the distribution payment date for a Fund, the market price per common share plus estimated per share brokerage commissions applicable to an open market purchase of common shares is at or above the net asset value per common share on that payment date, the appropriate Fund will issue new shares for your account, at a price equal to the greater of (i) net asset value per common share on that payment date or (ii) 95% of the per common share market price on that payment date.

(3)
The plan agent maintains all shareholder accounts in each Plan (including all shares purchased under the Cash Purchase Option) and provides written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. Common shares in your account will be held by the plan agent in non-certificated form. Any proxy you receive will include all common shares you have received or purchased under a Plan.

You may withdraw from any Plan at any time by giving written notice to the plan agent. If you withdraw or a Plan is terminated, the plan agent will transfer the shares in your account to you (which may include a cash payment for any fraction of a share in your account). If you wish, the plan agent will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions to be paid by you.

The plan agent is not authorized to make any purchases of shares for your account if doing so will result in your owning shares in excess of 9.8% of the total shares outstanding in each Fund. Dividends or cash purchase option payments which may result in such prohibited transactions will be paid to you in cash.

The plan agent's administrative fees will be paid by the Funds. There will be no brokerage commission charged with respect to common shares issued directly by any Fund. Each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the plan agent when it makes open market purchases of a Fund's shares pursuant to a Plan including the Cash Purchase Option.

Either Fund may amend or terminate its Plan or the Cash Purchase Option if its board of trustees determines the change is appropriate. However, no additional charges will be imposed upon participants by amendment to a Plan except after prior notice to participants.

Participation in a Plan will not relieve you of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) as a result of distributions you receive which are credited to your account under a Plan rather than paid in cash. Automatic reinvestment of distributions in a Fund's common shares will not relieve you of tax obligations arising from your receipt of that Fund's distributions even though you do not receive any cash.

All correspondence* about any Plan should be directed to Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, P.O. Box 64856, St. Paul, MN 55164-0856 or by telephone at 1-866-877-6331 and by overnight mail to Wells Fargo Bank N.A., 161 North Concord Exchange, South St. Paul, MN 55075.


*
Shareholders who hold shares of a Fund in "street name", that is, through a broker, financial advisor or other intermediary, should not contact the Administrator with Plan correspondence, opt-out cash purchase option or other requests. If you own your shares in street name, you must instead contact your broker, financial advisor or intermediary.
