NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.General

LTC Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is a real estate investment trust (or REIT) that invests primarily in senior housing and long term care properties through mortgage loans, property lease transactions and other investments.  Our primary senior housing and long term care property types include skilled nursing properties (or SNF), assisted living properties (or ALF), independent living properties (or ILF) and combinations thereof.

We have prepared consolidated financial statements included herein without audit and in the opinion of management have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (or SEC).  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (or U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations governing the presentation of interim financial statements.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a controlled partnership.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Control over the partnership is based on the provisions of the partnership agreement that provide us with a controlling financial interest in the partnership.

Under the terms of the partnership agreement, our company, as general partner, is responsible for the management of the partnership’s assets, business and affairs.  Certain of our rights and duties in management of the partnership include making all operating decisions, setting the capital budget, executing all contracts, making all employment decisions, and handling the purchase and disposition of assets.  We, as the general partner, are responsible for the ongoing, major, and central operations of the partnership and make all management decisions.  In addition, we, as the general partner, assume the risk for all operating losses, capital losses, and are entitled to substantially all capital gains (i.e. asset appreciation).  The limited partners have virtually no rights and are precluded from taking part in the operation, management or control of the partnership.  The limited partners are also precluded from transferring their partnership interests without the express permission of the general partner.  However, we can transfer our interest without consultation or permission of the limited partners.

No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes.  Our company qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  As such, we generally are not taxed on income that is distributed to our stockholders.

(1)We have investments in 13 states that include mortgages to 20 different operators.

(2)Other properties consist of independent living properties and properties providing any combination of skilled nursing, assisted living and/or independent living services.

At September 30, 2010, the mortgage loans had interest rates ranging from 9.8% to 14.3% and maturities ranging from 2011 to 2019.  In addition, some loans contain certain guarantees, provide for certain facility fees and generally have 20-year to 25-year amortization schedules.  The majority of the mortgage loans provide for annual increases in the interest rate based upon a specified increase of 10 to 25 basis points.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we invested $1,622,000, before closing fees of $64,000, in a mortgage loan secured by a skilled nursing property located in Missouri to finance an expansion of the property and extend the loan maturity for an additional five years to January 2018.  The current interest rate is 10.9%, increasing 0.13% annually.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we invested $72,000 under one mortgage loan for capital improvements and we received $2,989,000 in regularly scheduled principal payments.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded an $852,000 provision for doubtful accounts related to a mortgage loan secured by a private school property located in Minnesota.  The borrower of the private school property ceased operations and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  In September 2010, we acquired the private school property via deed in lieu of foreclosure and have classified it as held-for-sale.  We are actively marketing to sell this property.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we received $3,026,000 plus accrued interest related to the payoff of two mortgage loans secured by two skilled nursing properties.  Additionally, we invested $219,000 under one mortgage loan for capital improvements.  We received $3,162,000 in regularly scheduled principal payments.

(1)We have investments in 24 states leased to 26 different operators.

(2)Other properties consist of independent living properties and properties providing any combination of skilled nursing, assisted living and/or independent living services.

Owned properties are leased pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases generally with an initial term of 10 to 15 years.  Each lease is a triple net lease which requires the lessee to pay all taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, capital and non-capital expenditures and other costs necessary in the operations of the facilities.  Many of the leases contain renewal options and two contain limited period options that permit the operators to purchase the properties.  The leases provide for fixed minimum base rent during the initial and renewal periods.  The majority of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year that are generally computed in one of four ways depending on specific provisions of each lease:

(i)a specified percentage increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 2.0% and 3.0%;

(ii)a calculation based on the Consumer Price Index;

(iii)as a percentage of facility net patient revenues in excess of base amounts; or

(iv)specific dollar increases.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, a lessee notified us of its intent to exercise its option to purchase a 195-bed skilled nursing property located in Virginia on November 1, 2010.  This property has been classified as held-for-sale.  The carrying value of this property as of September 30, 2010 was $4,398,000 and the annual revenue from this property is $471,000.  At this time, we anticipate an immaterial net gain from this sale.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we acquired a 120-bed skilled nursing property in Florida for $9,000,000 and incurred and expensed $51,000 in transaction costs.  This property was leased to a third party operator under a 12-year lease with two 10-year renewal options.  Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we purchased a 166-bed skilled nursing property in Texas for $7,850,000 and incurred and expensed $30,000 in transaction costs.  This property was leased to a third party operator under a 10-year lease with two five-year renewal options.  We paid this operator, who previously operated the property under a lease with the seller, $125,000 as a lease inducement.  The lease inducement is amortized as a yield adjustment over the life of the lease.  Additionally, we acquired two properties in Virginia, a 90-bed skilled nursing property and a property with 137 skilled nursing beds, 47 assisted living units, and 46 independent living units, for $22,000,000 and incurred and expensed $7,000 in transaction costs.  These properties were leased to a third party operator under a 12-year master lease with two 10-year renewal options.

Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we invested $2,140,000 at an average yield of 9.7%, under agreements to expand and renovate 11 existing properties operated by seven different operators.  We also invested $1,120,000 in capital improvements to existing properties under various lease agreements whose rental rates already reflected this investment.

Subsequent to September 30, 2010, we entered into three purchase agreements to acquire four assisted living properties with a total of 241 units for an aggregate purchase price of $26,900,000.  Three of the properties are located in Florida and one is located in Mississippi.  The terms of one of the seller’s current financing required a 30-day prepayment notice which was given by this seller on September 27, 2010. In addition to the aggregate purchase price identified above, we have agreed to pay $106,000 representing half of this seller’s prepayment penalty on its loan.  The three transactions are scheduled to concurrently close on or about October 29, 2010. Simultaneous with the purchases, we will lease the properties under a 10-year triple net master lease with an affiliate of the third party operators that managed or operated the properties under leases with the sellers.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we invested $1,987,000 at an average yield of 10.6%, under agreements to expand and renovate eight existing properties operated by six different operators.  We also invested $558,000 in capital improvements to existing properties under various lease agreements whose rental rates already reflected this investment.

Any reference to the number of properties, number of schools, number of units, number of beds, and yield on investments in real estate are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

3.Notes Receivable

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we received $1,413,000 in principal payments and funded $100,000 under various loans and line of credit agreements with certain operators.  At September 30, 2010, we had six such loans outstanding with a carrying value of $1,429,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 12.0%.  At December 31, 2009, we had seven such loans outstanding with a carrying value of $2,689,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 11.52%.

4.Marketable Securities

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had an investment in $6,500,000 face value of Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. (or SHG) Senior Subordinated Notes with a face rate of 11.0% and an effective yield of 11.1%.  Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears and the notes mature on January 15, 2014.  One of our board members is the chief executive officer of SHG. See Note 9. Transactions with Related Party for further discussion.

5.Debt Obligations

Bank Borrowings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we added a new lender with a $30,000,000 commitment to our Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated July 17, 2008.  This additional commitment provides a total availability of $110,000,000 under our Unsecured Credit Agreement with the opportunity to increase the credit amount up to a total of $120,000,000.  The Unsecured Credit Agreement provides a revolving line of credit with a final maturity date of July 17, 2011.  The pricing under the Unsecured Credit Agreement is either Prime Rate plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.50% depending on our borrowing election.  At the time of borrowing, we may elect the 1, 2, 3 or 6 month LIBOR rate.  Under financial covenants contained in the Unsecured Credit Agreement which are measured quarterly we are required to maintain, among other things:

Preferred Stock.  At September 30, 2010, we had 2,000,000 shares of our 8.5% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (or Series C preferred stock) outstanding.  Our Series C preferred stock is convertible into 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at $19.25 per share.  Total shares reserved for issuance of common stock related to the conversion of Series C preferred stock were 2,000,000 shares at September 30, 2010.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, holders of 32,895 shares and 900 shares, respectively, of the 8.5% Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (or Series E preferred stock) elected to convert such shares into 65,790 shares and 1,800 shares, respectively, of our common stock at the Series E preferred stock conversion rate of $12.50 per share.  The Series E preferred stock has a liquidation value of $25.00 per share.  During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we redeemed the remaining 4,921 shares of our outstanding Series E preferred stock at a redemption price of $25.4191 per share, including accrued and unpaid dividends up to and including the redemption date.  Accordingly, we recognized the $6,000 of original issue costs related to the Series E preferred stock as a preferred stock redemption charge which is included in the income statement line item “Income allocated to preferred stockholders.”  At September 30, 2010, we had no shares of our Series E preferred stock outstanding.

Our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program enabling us to repurchase up to 5,000,000 shares of our equity securities, including common and preferred stock in the open market.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we did not purchase shares of our common or preferred stock.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we purchased and retired 900 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $16,000 or $17.33 per share, including commission.  The shares were purchased on the open market under this Board authorization.  At September 30, 2010, we continue to have an open Board authorization to purchase an additional 3,360,237 shares in total of common and/or preferred stock.

On August 4, 2010, we entered into an amendment to our equity distribution agreement dated as of August 5, 2009 with KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc. (or KeyBanc) to issue and sell, from time to time, up to $85,686,000 in aggregate offering price of our common shares.  Sales of common shares are made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed between us and KeyBanc.  During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we sold 391,400 shares of common stock at a weighted average price, including fees, of $24.69 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $9,665,000 after $230,000 of fees and costs.

At September 30, 2010 we had $65,106,000 available under this amended equity distribution agreement.

On June 9, 2010, we filed a Form S-3 “shelf” registration statement which became effective June 16, 2010, to replace our prior shelf registration statement.  Our current shelf registration statement provides us with the capacity to offer up to $400,000,000 in common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt, depositary shares, or units.  We may from time to time raise capital under our current shelf registration in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of the offering. At September 30, 2010 we had $276,341,000 availability under our effective shelf registration.

Non-controlling Interests. We have one limited partnership. The limited partnership agreement allows the limited partners to convert, on a one-for-one basis, their limited partnership units into shares of common stock or the cash equivalent, at our option. We have reserved 112,588 shares of our common stock under this partnership agreement. If we issued shares of our common stock upon limited partners’ election to exercise their conversion rights, the carrying amount of the partnership would be reclassified to stockholders’ equity. Since we exercise control, we consolidate the limited partnership and we carry the non-controlling interests at cost. At September 30, 2010, the carrying value and market value of the partnership conversion rights was $1,962,000 and $2,921,000, respectively.

We have three operators, based on properties subject to lease agreements and secured by mortgage loans that represent between 10% and 20% of our total assets and three operators from each of which we derive over 10% of our rental revenue and interest income from mortgage loans.

In 2006, Extendicare Services, Inc. (or EHSI), one of our major operators, effected a reorganization whereby it completed a spin-off of Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (or ALC).  ALC is now a NYSE traded public company operating assisted living centers. The remaining EHSI assets and operations were converted into a Canadian REIT (Extendicare REIT) listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (or TSX).  Both Extendicare REIT and ALC continue to be parties to the leases with us.

Beginning in 2009, Alterra Healthcare Corporation changed its name to Brookdale Senior Living Communities, Inc. (or Brookdale Communities). Brookdale Communities is a wholly owned subsidiary of a publicly traded company, Brookdale Senior Living, Inc. (or Brookdale).

The following table summarizes Extendicare REIT’s, ALC’s and Brookdale’s financial information as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 per the operators’ public filings (in thousands).  Our other operator is privately owned and thus no public financial information is available:

In December 2005, we purchased, on the open market, $10,000,000 face value of SHG Senior Subordinated Notes with a face rate of 11.0% and an effective yield of 11.1%.  One of our directors, Boyd W. Hendrickson, serves as Chief Executive Officer of SHG. Our Board of Directors, with Mr. Hendrickson abstaining, ratified the purchase of SHG Senior Subordinated Notes.  As a result of an early redemption by SHG in 2007, we have a remaining investment in $6,500,000 face value of SHG Senior Subordinated Notes at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized $180,000 and $540,000 of interest income related to the SHG Senior Subordinated Notes. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears and the notes mature on January 15, 2014.

In addition, during September 2007 SHG purchased the assets of Laurel Healthcare (or Laurel).  We were not a direct party to this transaction.  One of the assets SHG purchased was Laurel’s leasehold interests in the skilled nursing properties in New Mexico Laurel leased from us under a 15-year master lease agreement dated in February 2006.  Our Board of Directors, with Mr. Hendrickson abstaining, ratified our consent to the assignment of Laurel’s master lease to subsidiaries of SHG.  The economic terms of the master lease agreement did not change as a result of our assignment of the master lease to subsidiaries of SHG.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we received $1,042,000 and $3,118,000, respectively, in rental income and recorded $83,000 and $259,000, respectively, in straight-line rental income from subsidiaries of SHG.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we received $1,017,000 and $3,042,000, respectively, in rental income and recorded $109,000 and $335,000, respectively, in straight-line rental income from subsidiaries of SHG.  At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the straight-line rent receivable from subsidiaries of SHG was $2,738,000 and $2,480,000, respectively.

On September 7, 2010, SHG announced that it reached an agreement to settle a complaint originally filed May 4, 2006 that resulted in a jury verdict in July 2010 awarding substantial monetary damages to the plaintiffs.  As part of the settlement, the plaintiffs agreed to release SHG from claims related to the litigation.  Under the terms of the settlement, SHG agreed to certain changes in the level of staffing at its California facilities and further agreed to deposit a total of $50,000,000 into escrow accounts to cover settlement payments.  The escrow accounts are expected to be funded by SHG’s revolving credit facility.  Accounting Standards Codification No. 320, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities (or ASC 320), requires an entity to assess whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a debt security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis.  As a result of the verdict against SHG and subsequent settlement, the fair value of our SHG Senior Subordinated Notes decreased below amortized cost basis which we believe to be temporary based on the facts available to us.  At September 30, 2010, the pricing of our marketable debt securities was 99.0%.  We do not intend to sell the debt securities and currently we have concluded that it is not “more likely than not” that we will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis.

11.Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with the accounting guidance regarding the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, entities are permitted to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected reported in earnings.  We did not adopt the elective fair market value option in our financial statements.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.  We do not invest our cash in auction rate securities.  The carrying value and fair value of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 assuming election of fair value for our financial assets and financial liabilities were as follows:

	At September 30, 2010					At December 31, 2009
	Carrying Value		Fair Value			Carrying Value		Fair Value
Mortgage loans receivable	$	64,801	$	73,653	(1)	$	69,883	$	80,200	(1)
Marketable debt securities	6,477		6,435		(2)	6,473		6,874		(2)
Mortgage loans payable	—		—			7,685		7,806		(3)
Bonds payable	3,730		3,730		(4)	4,225		4,225		(4)
Bank borrowings	—		—		(4)	13,500		13,500		(4)
Senior Unsecured Notes	50,000		49,846		(5)	—		—

(1)Our investment in mortgage loans receivable is classified as Level 3.  The fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows.  The discount rate is determined using our assumption on market conditions adjusted for market and credit risk and current returns on our investments.  The discount rate used to value our future cash inflows of the mortgage loans receivable as September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was 7.5%.

(2)Our investment in marketable debt securities is classified as Level 2.  The fair value is measured using quoted market rates based on most recent transactions from an independent third party source.  The pricing of our marketable debt securities at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was 99.0% and 105.75%, respectively.  See Note 4. Marketable Securities for further discussion.

(3)Our obligation under our mortgage loans payable is classified as Level 3 and thus the fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows.  The discount rate is measured based upon management’s estimates of rates currently prevailing for comparable loans available to us, and instruments of comparable maturities.  At December 31, 2009, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our mortgage loans payable was 6.25%.

(4)Our bonds payable and bank borrowings are at a variable interest rate.  The estimated fair value of our bonds payable approximated their carrying values at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 based upon prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements.

(5)Our obligation under our senior unsecured notes is classified as Level 3 and thus the fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows.  The discount rate is measured based upon management’s estimates of rates currently prevailing for comparable loans available to us, and instruments of comparable maturities.  At September 30, 2010, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 5.5%.

12.Subsequent Events

Subsequent to September 30, 2010 the following events occurred.

On October 4, 2010, we declared a monthly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share per month for the months of October, November and December 2010, payable on October 29, November 30 and December 31, 2010, respectively, to stockholders of record on October 21, November 22 and December 23, 2010, respectively.  Subsequently, on October 20, 2010, we increased the November and December 2010 monthly common stock cash dividend by 7.7% to $0.14 per common share per month. The previously announced record and payment dates remain unchanged.

We entered into three purchase agreements to acquire four assisted living properties with a total of 241 units for an aggregate purchase price of $26,900,000.  Three of the properties are located in Florida and one is located in Mississippi.  The terms of one of the seller’s current financing required a 30-day prepayment notice which was given by this seller on September 27, 2010. In addition to the aggregate purchase price identified above, we have agreed to pay $106,000 representing half of this seller’s prepayment penalty on its loan.  The three transactions are scheduled to concurrently close on or about October 29, 2010. Simultaneous with the purchases, we will lease the properties under a 10-year triple net master lease with an affiliate of the third party operators that managed or operated the properties under leases with the sellers.

We invested an additional $425,000 in various capital improvement commitments as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

Commitment			Expiration Date	Funded Subsequent to 9/30/10		Open Commitment Subsequent to 9/30/10			Estimated Yield		Property Type	Properties	Major Operator
$	155	(3)	12/31/2010	$	88	$	—	(3)	10.00	%(1)	OTHER	1	N/A

1,500			5/31/2011	48		981				(2)	ALF	3	N/A

(1)Minimum rent will increase upon final funding and project completion or in some cases, the improvement deadline as defined in each lease agreement.

(2)The lease rate in effect on the date funded: 7% for March through November 2010. Minimum rent increase as per footnote (1).

(3)Capital improvement commitment was increased from $150,000 to $155,000.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

Business

We are a self-administered health care real estate investment trust (or REIT) that invests primarily in senior housing and long term healthcare properties through mortgage loans, property lease transactions and other investments.  Our primary senior housing and long term healthcare property types include skilled nursing properties (or SNF), assisted living properties (or ALF), independent living properties (or ILF) and combinations thereof.  In the third quarter of 2010, senior housing and long term healthcare properties comprised approximately 98% of our investment portfolio.  We have been operating since August 1992.

The following table summarizes our “direct real estate investment portfolio” (properties that we own or on which we hold promissory notes secured by first mortgages) as of September 30, 2010 (dollar amounts in thousands):

					Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010				Percentage		Number	Number of

(1)Other properties consist of independent living properties and properties providing any combination of skilled nursing, assisted living and/or independent living services.

(2)Includes Interest Income from Mortgage Loans.

(3)Includes Rental Income and Interest Income from Mortgage Loans.

(4)We have investments in 29 states leased or mortgaged to 42 different operators.

(5)Includes rental income from properties classified as held-for-sale.

As of September 30, 2010 we had $472.3 million in carrying value of net real estate investments, consisting of $407.5 million or 86.3% invested in owned and leased properties and $64.8 million or 13.7% invested in mortgage loans secured by first mortgages.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, rental income and interest income from mortgage loans represented 88.1% and 10.4%, respectively, of total gross revenues, including rental income from properties held-for-sale.   In most instances, our lease structure contains fixed annual rental escalations, which are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease period.  Certain leases have annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index and/or changes in the gross operating revenues of the property.  This revenue is not recognized until the appropriate contingencies have been resolved.  This lease structure initially generates lower revenues and net income but enables us to generate additional growth and minimize non-cash straight-line rent over time.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recorded $2.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in straight-line rental income.  Also during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recorded an additional $0.6 million of straight-line rent receivable reserve. Straight-line rental income for leases in place at September 30, 2010 will decrease from $3.7 million for projected annual 2010 to $1.6 million for projected annual 2011 assuming no modification or replacement of existing leases and no new leased investments with fixed annual rental escalations are added to our portfolio.  Conversely, our cash rental income is projected to increase from $61.5 million for projected annual 2010 to $64.4 million for projected annual 2011 assuming no modification or replacement of existing leases and no new leased investments are added to our portfolio.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we received $45.8 million of cash rental revenue and recorded amortization of lease inducement cost of $0.5 million.  At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the straight-line rent receivable balance, net of reserves, for continuing and discontinued operations on the balance sheet was $19.5 million and $17.3 million, respectively.

Our primary objectives are to sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in long-term healthcare properties and other health care related properties managed by experienced operators.  To meet these objectives, we attempt to invest in properties that provide opportunity for additional value and current returns to our stockholders and diversify our investment portfolio by geographic location, operator and form of investment. We opportunistically consider investments in health care facilities in related businesses where the business model is similar to our existing model and the opportunity provides an attractive expected return.  Consistent with this strategy, we pursue, from time to time, opportunities for potential acquisitions and investments, with due diligence and negotiations often at different stages of development at any particular time.

·For investments in skilled nursing properties, we favor low cost per bed opportunities, whether in fee simple properties or in mortgages.  The average per bed cost of our owned skilled nursing properties is approximately $35,200 per bed while that of properties subject to our mortgages is approximately $9,300 per bed.

·Additionally with respect to skilled nursing properties, we attempt to invest in properties that do not have to rely on a high percentage of private-pay patients.  We seek to invest primarily in properties that are located in suburban and rural areas of states.  We prefer to invest in a property that has significant market presence in its community and where state certificate of need and/or licensing procedures limit the entry of competing properties.

·For assisted living and independent living investments we have attempted to diversify our portfolio both geographically and across product levels.  Thus, we believe that although the majority of our investments are in affordably priced units, our portfolio also includes a significant number of upscale units in appropriate markets with certain operators.

Substantially all of our revenues and sources of cash flows from operations are derived from operating lease rentals and interest earned on outstanding loans receivable.  Our investments in mortgage loans and owned properties represent our primary source of liquidity to fund distributions and are dependent upon the performance of the operators on their leases and loan obligations and the rates earned thereon.  To the extent that the operators experience operating difficulties and are unable to generate sufficient cash to make payments to us, there could be a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition.  To mitigate this risk, we monitor our investments through a variety of methods determined by the type of health care facility and operator.  Our monitoring process includes periodic review of financial statements for each facility, periodic review of operator credit, scheduled property inspections and review of covenant compliance relating to real estate taxes and insurance.

In addition to our monitoring and research efforts, we also structure our investments to help mitigate payment risk.  Some operating leases and loans are credit enhanced by guaranties and/or letters of credit.  In addition, operating leases are typically structured as master leases and loans are generally cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with other loans, operating leases or agreements between us and the operator and its affiliates.

Depending upon the availability and cost of external capital, we anticipate making additional investments in health care related properties.  New investments are generally funded from cash on hand and temporary borrowings under our unsecured line of credit and internally generated cash flows.  Our investments generate internal cash from rent and interest receipts and principal payments on mortgage loans receivable.  Permanent financing for future investments, which replaces funds drawn under our unsecured line of credit, is expected to be provided through a combination of public and private offerings of debt and equity securities and secured debt financing.  The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by financing activities and used in investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets environment, especially to changes in interest rates.  Changes in the capital markets environment may impact the availability of cost-effective capital.  We believe our liquidity and various sources of available capital are sufficient to fund operations, meet debt service obligations (both principal and interest), make dividend distributions and finance future investments during the current period of tightened credit conditions.

22

Economic Climate

The U.S. continues to experience challenging financial markets, tight credit conditions, and slow growth.  Continued turbulence in the U.S. and international markets and economies may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and the liquidity and financial condition of our operators.  Despite the overall economic climate, we believe our business model has enabled and will continue to allow us to maintain the integrity of our property investments, including our ability to respond to financial difficulties that may be experienced by operators.  We have taken and will continue to have a conservative approach to managing our business and investments, choosing to maintain liquidity and exercise patience until favorable investment opportunities arise.

At September 30, 2010, we had $12.5 million of cash on hand, $110.0 million available on our Unsecured Credit Agreement which matures July 17, 2011, and the uncommitted private shelf agreement with affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (individually and collectively “Prudential”) which provides for the possible issuance of up to $50.0 million of senior unsecured fixed-rate term notes during the three-year issuance period.  Also, our potential ability to access the capital markets through the issuance of $65.1 million of common stock under our amended equity distribution agreement and through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities under our $276.3 million effective shelf registration.  As a result, we believe our liquidity and various sources of available capital are sufficient to fund operations, meet debt service obligations (both principal and interest), make dividend distributions and finance some future investments should we determine such future investments are financially feasible.

Political Climate

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (or CMS) annually updates Medicare skilled nursing facility prospective payment system rates and other policies.  On July 31, 2009, CMS published the final Medicare skilled nursing facility rates for fiscal year 2010, which began on October 1, 2009.  The rule reduces Medicare payments by $360 million or 1.1%, compared to fiscal year 2009 levels.  The rule provides for a recalibration of the case mix weights that will reduce payments by 3.3%, which more than offsets the 2.2% market basket update.  On July 22, 2010, CMS published a notice with comment period announcing Medicare skilled nursing facility prospective payment system rates for fiscal year 2011, beginning October 1, 2010.  CMS estimates that the notice would increase total Medicare skilled nursing facility payments by $542 million (1.7%) in FY 2011 compared to 2010 rates as a result of a 2.3% increase in the market basket update, offset in part by a negative 0.6% adjustment to reflect the difference between CMS’s previous forecast and the actual change in the market basket index for FY 2009.  The loss of revenues associated with future changes in skilled nursing facility payment rates could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our lessees and borrowers which could, in turn, adversely impact the timing or level of their payments to us.

23

In March 2010, the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (or, collectively, the Health Care Reform Law).  The Health Care Reform Law contain various provisions that may impact us directly and that may impact our lessees and borrowers.  Certain provisions of this law may have a positive impact on the revenues of our lessees and borrowers, by increasing coverage of uninsured individuals, for example.  Other provisions may have a negative impact on our lessees and borrowers, including health care provider cost-containment initiatives such as reductions in Medicare skilled nursing facility reimbursement, measures to tie Medicare provider reimbursement to health care quality, mandatory compliance programs, enhanced transparency and disclosure requirements, and incentives to state Medicaid programs to promote community-based care as an alternative to institutional long-term care services, among others.  In addition, the law provides for the establishment of a national voluntary pilot program to bundle Medicare payments for hospital and post-acute services, which could lead to changes in the delivery of post-acute services.  The Health Care Reform Law also strengthens certain fraud and abuse penalty provisions that could apply to our operators in the event of one or more violations of federal health care laws.  In addition, there are provisions that impact the health coverage that we and our lessees and borrowers provide to our respective employees.  We cannot predict at this time what effect, if any, the various provisions of the Health Care Reform Law will have on our lessees and borrowers or our business; however, if the operations, cash flows or financial condition of our lessees and borrowers are materially adversely impacted by the Health Care Reform Law, our revenue and operations may be adversely affected as well.

In addition, comprehensive reforms affecting the payment for and availability of health care services have been proposed at the state level and adopted by certain states, and most states have adopted Medicaid cost containment provisions in recent years in light of budget shortfalls.  Congress and state legislatures can be expected to continue to review and assess alternative health care delivery systems and payment methodologies.  Changes in the law, new interpretations of existing laws, or changes in payment methodologies may have a dramatic effect on the definition of permissible or impermissible activities, the relative costs associated with doing business and the amount of reimbursement by government and other third party payors.

Key Transactions

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we completed the sale to affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (individually and collectively “Prudential”) of $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.26% senior unsecured term notes due July 14, 2015 and $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.74% senior unsecured term notes fully amortizing to maturity on January 14, 2019.  Also, we entered into an uncommitted private shelf agreement with Prudential which provides for the possible issuance of up to an additional $50.0 million of senior unsecured fixed-rate term notes during the three-year issuance period.  Interest rates on any issuance under the shelf agreement will be set at a spread over applicable Treasury rates at the date of the “rate lock.” Maturities of each issuance are at our election for up to 10 years from the date of issuance with a maximum average life of 7 years from the date of original issuance.  The proceeds from the $50.0 million senior unsecured term notes were used to repay $41.0 million under our Unsecured Credit Agreement.  After this repayment, we have no outstanding balance under our Unsecured Credit Agreement and $110.0 million available for borrowing.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we sold 1,970,000 shares of common stock at a price of $24.70 per share, before fees of $0.4 million and costs of $0.3 million, in a registered direct placement to certain institutional investors.  We raised $48.0 million in net proceeds from the offering.  Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2010, we sold 391,400 shares of common stock under an amended equity distribution agreement to issue and sell, from time to time, up to $85.7 million in aggregated offering price of our common stock.  The weighted average price for the 391,400 shares, including fees and costs, was $24.69 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $9.7 million after $0.2 million of fees and costs.  The proceeds from the registered direct placement and the amended equity distribution agreement were used to redeem all 4,921 shares of our 8.5% Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”) and 2,357,686 shares of our 8.0% Series F Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Series F Preferred Stock”) outstanding.  Accordingly, we recognized the $2.4 million of original issue costs related to the Series E and Series F Preferred Stock as a preferred stock redemption charge which is included in the income statement line item “Income allocated to preferred stockholders.”

24

Subsequent to September 30, 2010, we entered into three purchase agreements to acquire four assisted living properties with a total of 241 units for an aggregate purchase price of $26.9 million.  Three of the properties are located in Florida and one is located in Mississippi.  The terms of one of the seller’s current financing required a 30-day prepayment notice which was given by this seller on September 27, 2010. In addition to the aggregate purchase price identified above, we have agreed to pay $0.1 million representing half of this seller’s prepayment penalty on its loan.  The three transactions are scheduled to concurrently close on or about October 29, 2010. Simultaneous with the purchases, we will lease the properties under a 10-year triple net master lease with an affiliate of the third party operators that managed or operated the properties under leases with the sellers.  The projected revenues provided from the acquisition of these properties for calendar year 2010 and 2011 are $0.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, under U.S. GAAP accounting, which includes non-cash straight-line rent of approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in 2010 and 2011.

Key Performance Indicators, Trends and Uncertainties

We utilize several key performance indicators to evaluate the various aspects of our business.  These indicators are discussed below and relate to concentration risk and credit strength.  Management uses these key performance indicators to facilitate internal and external comparisons to our historical operating results, in making operating decisions and for budget planning purposes.

25

Concentration Risk.  We evaluate our concentration risk in terms of asset mix, investment mix, operator mix and geographic mix.  Concentration risk is valuable to understand what portion of our investments could be at risk if certain sectors were to experience downturns. Asset mix measures the portion of our investments that are real property or mortgage loans.  In order to qualify as an equity REIT, at least 75 percent of our total assets must be represented by real estate assets, cash, cash items and government securities.  Investment mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our various property types.  Operator mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our top three operators.  Geographic mix measures the portion of our investment that relate to our top five states.  The following table reflects our recent historical trends of concentration risk:

Credit Strength.  We measure our credit strength both in terms of leverage ratios and coverage ratios.  Our leverage ratios include debt to book capitalization and debt to market capitalization.  The leverage ratios indicate how much of our balance sheet capitalization relates to long-term debt.  Our coverage ratios include interest coverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio.  The coverage ratios indicate our ability to service interest and fixed charges (interest plus preferred dividends).  The coverage ratios are based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (or EBITDA).  Leverage ratios and coverage ratios are widely used by investors, analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies.  The following table reflects the recent historical trends for our credit strength measures:

(1)Increase primarily due to the sale to Prudential of $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the senior unsecured term notes.

(2)Decrease primarily due to the redemption of all of our Series E preferred stock and 40% of our Series F preferred stock outstanding.

(3)Decrease primarily due to the increase in interest expense related to the $50.0 million senior unsecured term notes.

(4)Increase primarily due to the increase in bank borrowing.

(5)Increase primarily due to additional net income generated from acquisitions in 2009 and 2010.

(6)Decrease primarily due to the increase of $0.9 million in provision for doubtful accounts related to a mortgage loan secured by a private school property located in Minnesota.  The borrower ceased operations and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the second quarter of 2010.  This private school property was acquired during the third quarter of 2010 via deed in lieu of foreclosure and has been classified as held-for-sale.  The Company is actively marketing to sell this property.

(7)Decrease primarily due to the increase in market capitalization partially offset by the increase in bank borrowing.

(8)Decrease primarily due to the increase in operating and other expenses relating to transaction costs incurred for the acquisition of three assisted living properties in November of 2009.

(9)In calculating our interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios above, we use EBITDA, which is a financial measure not derived in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP financial measure).  Our coverage ratios indicate our ability to service interest expense and fixed charges (interest plus preferred dividends).  Leverage ratios and coverage ratios are widely used by investors, analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies.  EBITDA is not an alternative to net income, operating income, income from continuing operations or cash flows from operating activities as calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  You should not rely on EBITDA as a substitute for any such U.S. GAAP financial measures or consider it in isolation, for the purpose of analyzing our financial performance, financial position or cash flows.  Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA.  Below are a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and the calculation of the interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios disclosed above.

We evaluate our key performance indicators in conjunction with current expectations to determine if historical trends are indicative of future results. Our expected results may not be achieved and actual results may differ materially from our expectations.  This may be a result of various factors, including, but not limited to

·The status of the economy;

·The status of capital markets, including prevailing interest rates and availability of capital;

·Compliance with and changes to regulations and payment policies within the health care industry;

·Changes in financing terms;

·Competition within the health care and senior housing industries; and

·Changes in federal, state and local legislation and regulations.

Management regularly monitors the economic and other factors listed above.  We develop strategic and tactical plans designed to improve performance and maximize our competitive position. Our ability to achieve our financial objectives is dependent upon our ability to effectively execute these plans and to appropriately respond to emerging economic and company-specific trends.

Operating Results

Three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to three months ended September 30, 2009

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased to $18.5 million from $17.2 million for the same period in 2009 primarily due to increases in rental income partially offset by decreases in interest income from mortgage loans, as discussed below.  Rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased $1.6 million from the same period in 2009 primarily due to increases resulting from acquisitions in 2010 and 2009.

Interest income from mortgage loans for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $0.2 million from the same period in 2009 primarily due to payoffs, normal amortization of existing mortgage loans and the deed in lieu of foreclosure of the mortgage loan secured by a private school property located in Minnesota.

Interest and other income were comparable for each of the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.5 million higher than the same period in 2009 primarily due to the sale of $50.0 million aggregate principal of senior unsecured notes.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased $0.5 million from the same period in 2009 primarily due to capital improvement investments and acquisitions in 2010 and 2009.

Provisions for doubtful accounts for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were comparable to the same period in 2009.

Operating and other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased $0.1 million from the same period in 2009 primarily due to the increase in legal and other expenses related to the shelf registration and the Series E and Series F preferred stock redemption.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, net income from discontinued operations included the financial results from properties classified as held-for-sale.  Properties classified as held-for-sale include the private school property in Minnesota that we acquired via deed in lieu of foreclosure and the 195-bed skilled nursing property in Virginia that the lessee notified us of its intent to exercise its purchase option. This reclassification was made in accordance with accounting guidance which requires that the financial results of properties meeting certain criteria be reported on a separate line item called “Discontinued Operations.”

28

Net income allocable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $1.9 million from the same period in 2009 primarily due to the $2.4 million preferred stock redemption charge which is the Series E and Series F original issue discount partially offset by the decrease in preferred stock dividends relating to the Series E and Series F redemption and the changes previously described above.

Nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2009

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased to $54.3 million from $52.0 million for the same period in 2009 primarily due to increases in rental income partially offset by decreases in interest income from mortgage loans, as discussed below.  Rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $3.2 million from the same period in 2009 primarily due to increases resulting from acquisitions in 2010 and 2009.

Interest income from mortgage loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $0.9 million from the same period in 2009 primarily due to payoffs, normal amortization of existing mortgage loans and the deed in lieu of foreclosure of the mortgage loan secured by a private school property located in Minnesota.

Interest and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $0.1 million from the same period in 2009 primarily due to lower interest income resulting from payoffs and normal amortization of our notes receivable.  Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we received other income in conjunction with early payoffs of mortgage loans.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.4 million lower than the same period in 2009 due to a decrease in mortgage loans payable outstanding during the period resulting from the repayment of mortgage loans in 2010 and 2009 and normal amortization of existing mortgage loans partially offset by increase in bank borrowings outstanding during 2010 and the sale of $50.0 million aggregate principal of senior unsecured notes.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $0.9 million from the same period in 2009 primarily due to capital improvement investments and acquisitions in 2010 and 2009.

Provisions for doubtful accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $0.9 million from the same period in 2009 primarily due to provision for doubtful accounts related to a mortgage loan secured by a private school property located in Minnesota.  The borrower of the private school property ceased operations and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  We acquired this private school property via deed in lieu of foreclosure and have classified it as held-for-sale.  We are actively marketing to sell this property.

Operating and other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $0.4 million from the same period in 2009 primarily due to transaction costs related to the acquisitions in 2010, and the increase in legal and other expenses related to the shelf registration and the Series E and Series F preferred stock redemption.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, net income from discontinued operations included the financial results from properties classified as held-for-sale.  Properties classified as held-for-sale include the private school property in Minnesota that we acquired via deed in lieu of foreclosure and the 195-bed skilled nursing property in Virginia that the lessee notified us of its intent to exercise its purchase option. This reclassification was made in accordance with accounting guidance which requires that the financial results of properties meeting certain criteria be reported on a separate line item called “Discontinued Operations.”

29

Net income allocable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $2.2 million from the same period in 2009 primarily due to the $2.4 million preferred stock redemption charge which is the Series E and Series F original issue discount partially offset by the decrease in preferred stock dividends relating to the Series E and Series F redemption and the changes previously described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities.  At September 30, 2010, our real estate investment portfolio (before accumulated depreciation and amortization) consisted of $564.5 million invested primarily in owned long-term healthcare properties and mortgage loans of approximately $65.5 million (prior to deducting a $0.7 million reserve).  Our portfolio consists of direct investments (properties that we either own or on which we hold promissory notes secured by first mortgages) in 95 skilled nursing properties, 99 assisted living properties, 12 other properties and two schools.  These properties are located in 29 states.  Other properties consist of independent living properties and properties providing any combination of skilled nursing, assisted living and/or independent living services.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we had net cash provided by operating activities of $47.9 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we recorded $2.8 million in straight-line rental income.  We currently expect that straight-line rental income for leases in place at September 30, 2010 will decrease from $3.7 million for projected annual 2010 to $1.6 million for projected annual 2011 assuming no modification or replacement of existing leases and no new leased investments are added to our portfolio. Conversely, our cash rental income is projected to increase from $61.5 million for projected annual 2010 to $64.4 million for projected annual 2011 assuming no modification or replacement of existing leases and no new leased investments are added to our portfolio. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded an additional reserve of $0.6 million on our straight-line rent receivable.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we received $45.8 million of cash rental revenue and recorded $0.5 million of amortized lease inducement cost.

Investing and Financing Activities.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we used $39.6 million of cash for investing activities.  We acquired two properties in Virginia, a 90-bed skilled nursing property and a property with 137 skilled nursing beds, 47 assisted living units and 46 independent living units, for $22.0 million and incurred and expensed $7,000 in transaction costs.  These properties were leased to a third party operator under a 12-year master lease with two 10-year renewal options.  Additionally, we acquired a 120-bed skilled nursing property in Florida for $9.0 million and incurred and expensed $0.1 million in transaction costs.  This property was leased to a third party operator under a 12-year lease with two 10-year renewal options.  We also purchased a 166-bed skilled nursing property in Texas for $7.9 million and incurred and expensed $30,000 in transaction costs.  This property was leased to a third party operator under a 10-year lease with two five-year renewal options.  We paid this operator, who previously operated the property under a lease with the seller, $0.1 million as a lease inducement.  The lease inducement is amortized as a yield adjustment over the life of the lease.  In addition, we invested $2.1 million, at an average yield of 9.7%, under agreements to expand and renovate 11 existing properties operated by seven different operators.  We also invested $1.1 million in capital improvements to existing properties under various lease agreements whose rental rates already reflected this investment.  Additionally during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a lessee notified us of its intent to exercise its option to purchase a 195-bed skilled nursing property located in Virginia on November 1, 2010.  This property has been classified as held-for-sale. The carrying value of this property as of September 30, 2010 was $4.4 million and the annual revenue from this property is $0.5 million.  At this time, we anticipate an immaterial net gain from this sale.

Subsequent to September 30, 2010, we entered into three purchase agreements to acquire four assisted living properties with a total of 241 units for an aggregate purchase price of $26.9 million.  Three of the properties are located in Florida and one is located in Mississippi.  The terms of one of the seller’s current financing required a 30-day prepayment notice which was given by this seller on September 27, 2010. In addition to the aggregate purchase price identified above, we have agreed to pay $0.1 million representing half of this seller’s prepayment penalty on its loan.  The three transactions are scheduled to concurrently close on or about October 29, 2010. Simultaneous with the purchases, we will lease the properties under a 10-year triple net master lease with an affiliate of the third party operators that managed or operated the properties under leases with the sellers.  The projected revenues provided from the acquisition of these properties for calendar year 2010 and 2011 are $0.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, under U.S. GAAP accounting, which includes non-cash straight-line rent of approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in 2010 and 2011.

30

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we invested $1.6 million, before closing fees of $0.1 million, in a mortgage loan secured by a skilled nursing property located in Missouri to finance an expansion of the property and extend the loan maturity for an additional five years to January 2018.  The current interest rate is 10.9%, increasing 0.13% annually.  We also invested $0.1 million under one existing mortgage loan for capital improvements and we received $3.0 million in principal payments on mortgage loans.   Additionally, we recorded $0.9 million of provision for doubtful accounts related to a mortgage loan secured by a private school property located in Minnesota.  The borrower of the private school property ceased operations and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  In September 2010, we acquired the private school property via deed in lieu of foreclosure and have classified it as held-for-sale.  We are actively marketing to sell this property.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we received $1.4 million in principal payments and funded $0.1 million on notes receivable.  At September 30, 2010, we had six such loans outstanding with a carrying value of $1.4 million at a weighted average interest rate of 12.0%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we used $4.7 million of cash in financing activities.  We paid $0.6 million in scheduled principal payments on mortgage loans and bonds payable.  Also, we paid off a $7.6 million mortgage loan secured by an assisted living property located in California at a fixed interest rate of 8.69%.

Our Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (or Unsecured Credit Agreement), dated July 17, 2008, was at an initial commitment amount of $80.0 million.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we added a new lender with a $30.0 million commitment to our Unsecured Credit Agreement increasing our total availability to $110.0 million.  The Unsecured Credit Agreement provides for the opportunity to increase the credit amount up to a total of $120.0 million.  The Unsecured Credit Agreement provides a revolving line of credit with a final maturity date of July 17, 2011.  The pricing under the Unsecured Credit Agreement based on our borrowing election is Prime Rate plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.50%.  At the time of borrowing, we may elect the 1, 2, 3 or 6 month LIBOR rate.  Under financial covenants contained in the Unsecured Credit Agreement which are measured quarterly we are required to maintain, among other things:

(i)a ratio, of total indebtedness to total asset value, not greater than 0.5 to 1.0;

(ii)a ratio not greater than 0.35 to 1.0 of secured debt to total asset value;

(iii)a ratio not less than 2.5 to 1.0 of EBITDA as calculated in the Unsecured Credit Agreement to interest expense; and

(iv)a ratio of not less than 1.50 to 1.0 of EBITDA as calculated in the Unsecured Credit Agreement to fixed charges.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we borrowed $37.5 million and repaid $51.0 million under our Unsecured Credit Agreement.  At September 30, 2010, we had no outstanding balance under our Unsecured Credit Agreement with $110.0 million available for borrowing.  At September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all our covenants.

31

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we completed the sale to affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential of $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.26% senior unsecured term notes due July 14, 2015 and $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.74% senior unsecured term notes fully amortizing to maturity on January 14, 2019.  Also, we entered into an uncommitted private shelf agreement with Prudential which provides for the possible issuance of up to an additional $50.0 million of senior unsecured fixed-rate term notes during the three-year issuance period. Interest rates on any issuance under the shelf agreement will be set at a spread over applicable Treasury rates at the date of the “rate lock.” Maturities of each issuance are at our election for up to 10 years from the date of issuance with a maximum average life of 7 years from the date of original issuance.

We paid cash dividends on our Series C, Series E, and Series F preferred stock totaling $2.5 million, $0.1 million and $9.8 million, respectively.  Additionally, we declared and paid cash dividends on our common stock totaling $28.3 million.  On October 4, 2010, we declared a monthly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share per month for the months of October, November and December 2010, payable on October 29, November 30 and December 31, 2010, respectively, to stockholders of record on October 21, November 22 and December 23, 2010, respectively.  Subsequently, on October 20, 2010, we increased the November and December 2010 monthly common stock cash dividend by 7.7% to $0.14 per common share per month. The previously announced record and payment dates remain unchanged.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a total of 6,666 common stock options were exercised at a total option value $0.2 million and a total market value on the date of exercise of $0.2 million.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we granted 4,000 shares of restricted common stock at $25.95 per share, 1,000 shares of restricted common stock at $25.04 per share, and 11,030 shares of restricted common stock at $26.53 per share.  These shares vest ratably over a three-year period from the grant date.  Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we granted 99,661 shares of restricted common stock at $26.53 per share. These shares vest ratably over a five-year period with the first date of vesting beginning in December 31, 2010.

Our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program enabling us to repurchase up to 5,000,000 shares of our equity securities, including common and preferred securities.  We continue to have an open Board authorization to purchase an additional 3,360,237 shares in total of our equity securities.

On August 4, 2010, we entered into an amendment to our equity distribution agreement dated as of August 5, 2009 with KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc. (or KeyBanc) to issue and sell, from time to time, up to $85.7 million in aggregate offering price of our common shares.  Sales of common shares are made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed between us and KeyBanc.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we sold 756,400 shares of common stock at a weighted average price, including fees, of $25.54 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $19.3 million after $0.5 million of fees. At September 30, 2010, we had $65.1 million available under this equity distribution agreement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we sold 1,970,000 shares of common stock at a price of $24.70 per share, before $0.4 million of fees and $0.3 million in costs, in a registered direct placement to certain institutional investors.  The net proceeds of $48.0 million were used for the redemption of all of our 4,921 shares of our Series E preferred stock and 2,357,686 shares of our Series F preferred stock outstanding.  Accordingly, we recognized the $2.4 million original issue costs related to the Series E and Series F preferred stock as a preferred stock redemption charge.

Available Shelf Registration. On June 9, 2010, we filed a Form S-3 “shelf” registration statement which became effective June 16, 2010, to replace our prior shelf registration statement.  Our current shelf registration statement provides us with the capacity to offer up to $400.0 million in common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt, depositary shares, or units.  We may from time to time raise capital under our current shelf registration in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of the offering.  At September 30, 2010, we had $276.3 million availability under our effective shelf registration.

32

Liquidity.  We expect our future income and ability to make distributions from cash flows from operations to depend on the collectibility of our rents and mortgage loans receivable.  The collection of these loans and rents will be dependent, in large part, upon the successful operation by the operators of the skilled nursing properties, assisted living properties, other properties and schools we own or that are pledged to us.  Other properties consist of independent living properties and properties providing any combination of skilled nursing, assisted living and/or independent living services.  The operating results of the facilities will be impacted by various factors over which the operators/owners may have no control.  Those factors include, without limitation, the status of the economy, changes in supply of or demand for competing long-term healthcare facilities, ability to control rising operating costs, and the potential for significant reforms in the long-term healthcare industry.  In addition, our future growth in net income and cash flow may be adversely impacted by various proposals for changes in the governmental regulations and financing of the long-term healthcare industry.  We cannot presently predict what impact these proposals may have, if any.  We believe that an adequate provision has been made for the possibility of loans proving uncollectible but we will continually evaluate the financial status of the operations of the skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, other facilities and the school.  In addition, we will monitor our borrowers and the underlying collateral for mortgage loans and will make future revisions to the provision, if considered necessary.

Our investments, principally our investments in mortgage loans and owned properties, are subject to the possibility of loss of their carrying values as a result of changes in market prices, interest rates and inflationary expectations.  The effects on interest rates may affect our costs of financing our operations and the fair market value of our financial assets.  Generally our loans have predetermined increases in interest rates and our leases have agreed upon annual increases.  Inasmuch as we may initially fund some of our investments with variable interest rate debt, we would be at risk of net interest margin deterioration if medium and long-term rates were to increase.  As of September 30, 2010, only $3.7 million of our debt, excluding our Unsecured Credit Agreement, was at a variable interest rate.

At September 30, 2010, we had $12.5 million of cash on hand, $110.0 million available on our Unsecured Credit Agreement which matures July 17, 2011 and the uncommitted private shelf agreement with Prudential which provides for the possible issuance of up to $50.0 million of senior unsecured fixed-rate term notes during the three-year issuance period.  Also, our potential ability to access the capital markets through the issuance of $65.1 million of common stock under our amended equity distribution agreement and through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities under our $276.3 million effective shelf registration.

We believe that our current cash balance, cash flow from operations available for distribution or reinvestment, our current Unsecured Credit Agreement borrowing capacity and our uncommitted private shelf agreement with Prudential are sufficient to provide for payment of our current operating costs, meet debt obligations, provide funds for distribution to the holders of our preferred stock and pay common dividends at least sufficient to maintain our REIT status and repay borrowings at, or prior to, their maturity.  The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by financing activities and used in investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets environment, especially to changes in interest rates.  We continuously evaluate the availability of cost-effective capital and believe we have sufficient liquidity for additional capital investments in 2010 and 2011.

As of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

Statement Regarding Forward Looking Disclosure

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, adopted pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Statements that are not purely historical may be forward-looking.  You can identify some of the forward-looking statements by their use of forward-looking words, such as ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘seeks,’’ ‘‘approximately,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘plans,’’ ‘‘estimates’’ or ‘‘anticipates,’’ or the negative of those words or similar words.  Forward- looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties regarding events, conditions and financial trends that may affect our future plans of operation, business strategy, results of operations and financial position.  A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those included within or contemplated by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the status of the economy, the status of capital markets (including prevailing interest rates), and our access to capital; the income and returns available from investments in health care related real estate, the ability of our borrowers and lessees to meet their obligations to us, our reliance on a few major operators; competition faced by our borrowers and lessees within the health care industry, regulation of the health care industry by federal, state and local governments, compliance with and changes to regulations and payment policies within the health care industry, debt that we may incur and changes in financing terms, our ability to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust, the relative illiquidity of our real estate investments, potential limitations on our remedies when mortgage loans default, and risks and liabilities in connection with properties owned through limited liability companies and partnerships.  For a discussion of these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements, please see the discussion under ‘‘Risk Factors’’ contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and in our publicly available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  We do not undertake any responsibility to update or revise any of these factors or to announce publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

We are a party from time to time to various general and professional liability claims and lawsuits asserted against the lessees or borrowers of our properties, which in our opinion are not singularly or in the aggregate material to our results of operations or financial condition. These types of claims and lawsuits may include matters involving general or professional liability, which we believe under applicable legal principles are not our responsibility as a non-possessory landlord or mortgage holder. We believe that these matters are the responsibility of our lessees and borrowers pursuant to general legal principles and pursuant to insurance and indemnification provisions in the applicable leases or mortgages. We intend to continue to vigorously defend such claims.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
