To our shareholders,

In the pages that follow, you will find data summarizing each Fund's financial results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and financial position as of December 31, 2010.

RMR REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND

Relevant Market Conditions

Real Estate Industry Fundamentals.     After almost three years of continuous declines, commercial real estate fundamentals started to recover during 2010. While unemployment remains high, vacancy rates and rents appear to have bottomed for most property types. The recovery, however, has not been consistent across all property types. Sectors such as hotels and apartments, which are more sensitive to an economic recovery, have seen a faster recovery in operating fundamentals. The suburban office sector, on the other hand, continues to experience high vacancy rates and negative rent growth. One common theme across all commercial real estate, however, is that new construction is at 20 year lows which should bode well for real estate operating fundamentals in 2011.

Low interest rates and better access to the capital markets during 2010 allowed REITs to continue to reduce leverage, refinance debt and opportunistically raise capital to fund acquisitions. During the year, REITs raised $51 billion in the U.S. equity and debt markets. The REIT preferred market, which was closed during 2009, reopened during 2010; during the year, $2 billion was raised in the REIT preferred market.

On the acquisition front, REITs acquired nearly $20 billion in commercial real estate, exceeding volumes seen throughout most of the last ten years, with the exception of the 2004 through 2007 period when real estate transactions were at peak levels. Low interest rates and an improved lending environment pushed commercial property prices higher as a result of a strong demand for quality assets by REITs and other well capitalized investors. We believe the capital markets may remain open to REITs in 2011 helping to drive internal earnings growth with low interest expense and external growth from acquisitions. The major uncertainty facing the REIT market in 2011 may be the possibility of a rise in interest rates which could push cap rates higher and drive real estate values and REIT share prices lower.

Real Estate Securities Technicals.     The market for REIT shares was up 28.5% in 2010, significantly outperforming the S&P 500 Index return of 15.1%. During the first half of 2010, returns for the REIT market were mixed. REITs were up 10.1% during the first quarter of the year as investors became more confident that an economic recovery was underway. Then, during the second quarter, REITs were down 4% on concerns that the U.S. could head into a double dip recession as the European sovereign debt crisis threatened global economic growth. Anticipation of the Federal Reserve Bank's second round of quantitative easing, growing investor demand for higher yields and the extension of the Bush era tax cuts sent the REIT securities market up 21.5% during the second half of the year. Also, net inflows into real estate mutual funds during the year were $4.2 billion.

During the year, all sectors in the MSCI U.S. REIT Total Return Index posted positive returns. Hotels and apartments were the best performing sectors with total returns of 50.9% and 49.0%, respectively.

2



As noted above, these two sectors tend to recover faster during an economic recovery due to their shorter lease terms.

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 twelve months ended December 31, 2010, our total return on net asset value, or NAV, (including NAV changes and assuming a hypothetical reinvestment of distributions at NAV) was 39.0%. During that same period, the total return for the MSCI U.S. REIT Total Return Index (an unmanaged index of REIT common stocks) was 28.5%.

The Fund's outperformance versus the MSCI U.S. REIT Total Return Index during 2010 was primarily due to a higher concentration of REIT preferred securities in the Fund's portfolio versus in the Index. Also, our investment allocation to hotel REIT preferred stocks contributed positively to the Fund's performance because REIT preferred securities in this sector outperfomed the market during 2010.

RMR ASIA PACIFIC REAL ESTATE FUND

Relevant Market Conditions

Real Estate Industry Fundamentals.     Real estate market conditions in the Asia Pacific region continued to improve during 2010. Office rental rates in the key Asia Pacific financial centers of Hong Kong and Singapore continued to rise, while the rental rates in Tokyo appeared to stabilize. Increasing employment coupled with rising home prices in the Asia Pacific region were common themes during 2010, resulting in a more positive consumer sentiment. As a result, rents in the region's retail sector continued to move higher. Rents in the industrial real estate sector have not yet returned to pre-recession levels in large part because of the decline in export volumes across the region due to the recent recessions in both the U.S. and Europe.

Despite policy measures introduced by many regional governments to depress demand or lower prices, residential real estate prices across the region continued to increase in 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 versus volatile equity markets.

One of the strongest performing markets in the last two months of 2010 was the Japanese REIT market. In early November, the Bank of Japan released a list of J-REITs it would purchase as part of its comprehensive monetary easing measures. As a result, J-REITs continued to rally steadily through year end despite a weak Japanese economy.

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 8.5% in 2011. This compares to the IMF's expectation of world GDP growth of 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 and a number of new IPOs may be designated for listing in Singapore in the second half of 2011.

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 twelve month period ended December 31, 2010, our total return on net asset value, or NAV, was 12.0%. 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 17.2%.

The Fund's underperformance versus the EPRA NAREIT Asia Total Return Index during 2010 was primarily due to the Fund holding a number of overweight positions in several major Chinese and Hong Kong real estate companies versus the Index. Many of the stocks of these companies were under selling pressure in 2010 due to policy measures introduced by the Chinese and Hong Kong governments designed to curb the rapid increase in residential property prices. Additionally, the Fund underperformed the Index in part due to the Fund's underweight position in Japanese property stocks which, despite a sluggish economic outlook, were the beneficiary of massive fund inflows due to the expectation of the introduction of quantitative easing measures by the Bank of Japan. The Fund remains underweight in Japan as we believe real estate fundamentals are still relatively weak compared to the rest of the region.

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 particular underlying equity or debt securities, currencies or equity markets. 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 securities, currencies or markets that they seek to replicate. There is additional counterparty risk associated with these investments because the Fund is relying on the creditworthiness of such counterparty and has no rights under a participation note against the issuer of the underlying security. As a result, there can be no assurance that the trading price of P-Notes will equal the underlying value of the securities or markets that they seek to replicate.
(b)
As of December 31, 2010, this security had not paid a distribution.
(c)
Rate reflects 7 day yield as of December 31, 2010.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2010

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)   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.

(3)   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 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.

RMR Funds
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

December 31, 2010

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 the NYSE (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 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 the 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, 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 (4) 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 fair value.

(4)   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 Fund's 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. This three-tier hierarchy of inputs used to value securities reported in these financial statements is summarized below:

    Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

    Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.).

    Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
