Supplemental Information and Reconciliation of Financial Measures

We use financial measures in this release that are derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. We derive these measures as follows:

• EBITDA represents net income before interest expense (net), taxes, depreciation and amortization of deferred financing costs.

• Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before stock-based compensation, offering costs, indemnity expense, acquisition transaction costs, loss on impairment of assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, deferred rent write-offs, change in fair value of derivatives, gain on sale of assets (net), and discontinued operations.

• The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains and losses from sales of property (net), impairments of depreciated real estate, plus real estate depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Applying the NAREIT definition to our financial statements results in FFO representing net income before depreciation, impairments and gain on sale of assets.

• Normalized FFO represents FFO before reserves for uncollectible loan receivables, offering costs, indemnity expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and acquisition transaction costs.

Our management uses FFO, Normalized FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important supplemental measures of our operating performance and liquidity. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. The term FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue and as an indicator of our ability to incur and service debt. Because FFO and Normalized FFO exclude depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items and because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude certain non-cash charges and adjustments and amounts spent on interest and taxes, they provide our management with performance measures that, when compared year over year or with other real estate investment trusts, or REITs, reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and, with respect to FFO and Normalized FFO, interest costs, in each case providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, we believe that FFO, Normalized FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs.

We offer these measures to assist the users of our financial statements in assessing our financial performance and liquidity under GAAP, but these measures are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered measures of liquidity, alternatives to net income or indicators of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make payments on our indebtedness. In addition, our calculations of these measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures as calculated by other companies that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us. Investors should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income or revenues.

In addition to these non-GAAP financial measures, we present certain statistics in this release regarding our portfolio of properties. These statistics include EBITDAR coverage, EBITDARM coverage, Portfolio Occupancy and Quality Mix, which are derived as follows:

• EBITDAR coverage represents EBITDAR, which we define as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent expense, of our operators for the applicable period, divided by the rent paid to us by our operators during such period.

• EBITDARM coverage represents EBITDARM, which we define as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent expense and management fees charged by the operator, of our operators for the applicable period, divided by the rent paid to us by our operators during such period.

• Portfolio Occupancy represents the average daily number of beds at our properties that are occupied during the applicable period divided by the total number of beds at our properties that are available for use during the applicable period.

• Quality Mix represents total revenues from all payor sources, excluding Medicaid revenues, at our properties divided by the total revenue at our properties for the applicable period.

We derive these statistics from reports that we receive from our operators pursuant to our triple-net leases. As a result, our portfolio statistics typically lag our own financial statements by approximately one quarter. In order to determine EBITDAR and EBITDARM coverage for the period presented, EBITDAR and EBITDARM coverage is stated only with respect to properties owned by us and operated (not under construction) for the portion of the period owned and excludes assets held for sale. Accordingly, EBITDAR and EBITDARM coverage for the twelve months ended March 31, 2012 included 205 of the 235 properties in our portfolio as of March 31, 2012.
