PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS

Advocat Inc. - As previously reported, the Company restructured its relationship with Advocat on October 20, 2006 (the “Second Advocat Restructuring”) by entering into a Restructuring Stock Issuance and Subscription Agreement with Advocat (the “2006 Advocat Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2006 Advocat Agreement, the Company exchanged the Advocat Series B preferred stock and subordinated note issued to the Company in November 2000 in connection with a restructuring because Advocat was in default on its obligations to the Company (the “Initial Advocat Restructuring”) for 5,000 shares of Advocat’s Series C non-convertible, redeemable (at the Company’s option after September 30, 2010) preferred stock with a face value of approximately $4.9 million and a dividend rate of 7% payable quarterly, and a secured non-convertible subordinated note in the amount of $2.5 million maturing September 30, 2007 and bearing interest at 7% per annum. As part of the Second Advocat Restructuring, the Company also amended its Consolidated Amended and Restated Master Lease by and between one of its subsidiaries, as lessor, and a subsidiary of Advocat, as lessee, to commence a new 12-year lease term through September 30, 2018 (with a renewal option for an additional 12 year term) and Advocat has agreed to increase the master lease annual rent by approximately $687,000 to approximately $14 million commencing on January 1, 2007.

The Second Advocat Restructuring has been accounted for as a new lease in accordance with FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases (“FAS No. 13”) and FASB Technical Bulletin No. 88-1, Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases (“FASB TB No. 88-1”). The fair value of the assets exchanged in the restructuring (i.e., the Series B non-voting redeemable convertible preferred stock and the secured convertible subordinated note, with a fair value of $14.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, at October 20, 2006) in excess of the fair value of the assets received (the Advocat Series C non-convertible redeemable preferred stock and the secured non-convertible subordinated note, with a fair value of $4.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, at October 20, 2006) have been recorded as a lease inducement asset of approximately $10.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. The $10.8 million lease inducement asset will be amortized as a reduction to rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the new master lease. The exchange of securities also resulted in a gain in the fourth quarter of 2006 of approximately $3.0 million representing: (i) the fair value of the secured convertible subordinated note of $2.5 million, previously reserved; (ii) the realization of the gain on investments previously classified as other comprehensive income of approximately $1.1 million relating to the Series B non-voting redeemable convertible preferred stock; and (iii) a loss of approximately $0.6 million resulting from the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative from September 30, 2006 to October 20, 2006.

Guardian LTC Management, Inc. - On September 1, 2006, the Company completed a $25.0 million investment with subsidiaries of Guardian LTC Management, Inc. (“Guardian”), an existing operator of the Company. The transaction involved the purchase and leaseback of a skilled nursing facility (“SNF”) in Pennsylvania and the termination of a purchase option on a combination SNF and rehabilitation hospital in West Virginia owned by the Company. The facilities were included in an existing master lease with Guardian with an increase in contractual annual rent of approximately $2.6 million in the first year and the master lease now includes 17 facilities. In addition, the master lease term was extended from October 2014 through August 2016.

In accordance with FAS No. 13 and FAS TB No. 88-1, $19.2 million of the $25.0 million transaction amount will be accounted for as a lease inducement asset and is classified within accounts receivable - net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The lease inducement will be amortized as a reduction to rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the new master lease. The remaining payment to Guardian of $5.8 million will be allocated to the purchase of the Pennsylvania SNF.

Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. Common Stock - On August 28, 2006, the Company sold its remaining 760,000 shares of Sun’s common stock for net cash proceeds of approximately $7.6 million. The sale resulted in an accounting gain of approximately $2.7 million during the third quarter of 2006.

Litchfield Investment Company, LLC - On August 1, 2006, the Company completed a transaction with Litchfield Investment Company, LLC and its affiliates (“Litchfield”) to purchase 30 SNFs and one independent living center for a total investment of approximately $171 million. The facilities total 3,847 beds and are located in the states of Colorado (5), Florida (7), Idaho (1), Louisiana (13), and Texas (5). The facilities were subject to master leases with three national healthcare providers, which are existing tenants of the Company. The tenants are Home Quality Management, Inc. (“HQM”), Nexion Health, Inc. (“Nexion”), and Peak Medical Corporation, which was acquired by Sun in December of 2005.

 
Simultaneously with the close of the purchase transaction, the seven HQM facilities were combined into an Amended and Restated Master Lease containing 13 facilities between the Company and HQM. In addition, the 18 Nexion facilities were combined into an Amended and Restated Master Lease containing 22 facilities between the Company and Nexion.
 

 
The Company entered into a Master Lease, Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Litchfield relating to the six Sun facilities which expires on September 30, 2007.
 

Other - As previously reported, during the three months ended March 31, 2006, Haven Eldercare, LLC (“Haven”), an existing operator for the Company, entered into a $39 million first mortgage loan with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE Loan”). Haven used the $39 million of proceeds to partially repay on a $62 million mortgage it has with the Company. Simultaneously, the Company subordinated the payment of its remaining $23 million mortgage to that of the GE Loan. In conjunction with the above transactions and the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46R, the Company consolidated the financial statements and related real estate of the Haven entity into the Company’s financial statements. The consolidation resulted in the following changes to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006: (1) an increase in total gross investments of $39.0 million; (2) an increase in accumulated depreciation of $1.6 million; (3) an increase in other long-term borrowings of $39.0 million; and (4) a reduction of $1.5 million in cumulative net earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 due to increased depreciation expense. General Electric Capital Corporation and Haven’s other creditors do not have recourse to the Company’s assets. The Company’s results of operations reflect the effect of the consolidation of this entity, which is accounted for similarly to the Company’s other purchase-leaseback transactions.

DIVIDENDS

Common Dividends - On January 16, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors announced a common stock dividend of $0.26 per share, to be paid February 15, 2007 to common stockholders of record on January 31, 2007.

Series D preferred stockholders of record on January 31, 2007 will be paid dividends in the approximate amount of $0.52344 per preferred share, on February 15, 2007. The liquidation preference for the Company’s Series D preferred stock is $25.00 per share. Regular quarterly preferred dividends represent dividends for the period November 1, 2006 through January 31, 2007.

 
2007 ADJUSTED FFO GUIDANCE AFFIRMED
 

The Company affirmed its 2007 adjusted FFO available to common stockholders guidance of between $1.32 and $1.36 per diluted share, as previously announced on December 14, 2006.

The Company's adjusted FFO guidance for 2007 excludes the future impacts of acquisitions, gains and losses from the sale of assets, additional divestitures, certain one-time revenue and expense items, capital transactions and restricted stock amortization expense.

The Company may, from time to time, update its publicly announced adjusted FFO guidance, but it is not obligated to do so.

If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its projected results.

(1) Includes amounts in discontinued operations
 
This press release includes Funds From Operations, or FFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. For purposes of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the company, or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable financial measure so calculated and presented. As used in this press release, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The Company calculates and reports FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), and consequently, FFO is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization. FFO available to common stockholders per share is further adjusted for the effect of restricted stock awards and the exercise of in-the-money stock options. The Company believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure of its operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. The term FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue. FFO herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO of other real estate investment trusts, or REITs, that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from the Company.

Adjusted FFO is calculated as FFO available to common stockholders less one-time revenue and expense items. The Company believes that adjusted FFO provides an enhanced measure of the operating performance of the Company’s core portfolio as a REIT. The Company's computation of adjusted FFO is not comparable to the NAREIT definition of FFO or to similar measures reported by other REITs, but the Company believes it is an appropriate measure for this Company.

The Company uses FFO as one of several criteria to measure the operating performance of its business. The Company further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs.  The Company offers this measure to assist the users of its financial statements in analyzing its performance; however, this is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net income or an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in the Company’s securities should not rely on this measure as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

In February 2004, NAREIT informed its member companies that it was adopting the position of the SEC with respect to asset impairment charges and would no longer recommend that impairment write-downs be excluded from FFO. In the tables included in this press release, the Company has applied this interpretation and has not excluded asset impairment charges in calculating its FFO. As a result, its FFO may not be comparable to similar measures reported in previous disclosures. According to NAREIT, there is inconsistency among NAREIT member companies as to the adoption of this interpretation of FFO. Therefore, a comparison of the Company’s FFO results to another company's FFO results may not be meaningful.
