Business. ElderTrust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company"), was formed on September 23, 1997 to invest in healthcare-related real estate and mortgages. At December 31, 1997, the Company had no operations. The Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") on January 30, 1998. The net proceeds to the Company from the IPO, after deducting underwriting discount and offering expenses, totaled approximately $116.5 million. For a description of the proposed business operations of the Company, reference is made to the discussion under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Business and Properties" in the Company's prospectus dated January 26, 1998 contained in the Company's registration statement on Form S-11 (333-37451) relating to its IPO (the "Prospectus"), which discussion is incorporated herein by reference. The Company has completed all of the initial investments described in the Company's Prospectus, except for the acquisition of one skilled nursing facility, Silverlake NRC, for which a necessary consent to the transfer of the facility to the Company was not received. Additionally, an initial draw of $900,000 under the construction loan for the Mallard Landing development project has not yet been made. The Company has in place a secured credit facility of up to $140 million from an affiliate of Deutsche Morgan Grenfell (the "Credit Facility"). The term of the facility is 364 days, subject to extension options. The Company currently has borrowings under the Credit Facility totaling approximately $34.1 million and additional borrowing authority of approximately $18.5 million based on the properties and other assets that currently comprise the borrowing base. Item 2. Properties. The information set forth under the caption "Business and Properties Initial Properties" in the Company's Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference. As noted above, the Silverlake NRC skilled nursing facility was not acquired because a consent necessary to the transfer of the facility to the Company was not received. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. The information set forth under the caption "Business and Properties -- Legal Proceedings" in the Company's Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. Not applicable. 3 PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. The Company's common shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Shares") began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on January 27, 1998. As of March 20, 1998, the Company had approximately 25 holders of its outstanding Common Shares. On September 23, 1997, the Company was capitalized with the issuance to the Company's chief financial officer of 100 Common Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $100. The issuance of such Common Shares was effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). On July 30, 1997, ElderTrust Operating Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") was capitalized with the issuance of a general partnership interest to ElderTrust Realty Group, Inc. in exchange for a capital contribution in the amount of $200 and with the issuance of a limited partnership interest to ET Partnership in exchange for a capital contribution of $200,000. The issuance of such limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership was effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. On September 10, 1997, the Operating Partnership issued additional limited partnership interests to Messrs. Romanov and McCreary in exchange for capital contributions in the aggregate amount of $200. The issuance of such limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership was effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Item 6. Selected Financial Data. At December 31, 1997, the Company had total assets of $100 representing the consideration the Company received for the issuance of 100 Common Shares to the Company's chief financial officer in its formation on September 23, 1997.

This balance sheet is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this balance sheet based upon our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We believe that our audit of the balance sheet provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the balance sheet referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ElderTrust as of December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company completed its initial public offering on January 30, 1998 pursuant to which it issued 6,957,500 shares (the "Offering"). Net proceeds to the Company prior to deducting offering expenses were approximately $116.5 million. The Company had no operations through December 31, 1997. The Company intends to begin operations by 1) purchasing a diversified portfolio of healthcare properties, consisting primarily of assisted living and skilled nursing facilities which will be leased back to the current owners or other third parties; 2) making construction loans collateralized by healthcare properties under construction and making term loans collateralized by healthcare properties on which construction has been recently completed, but which are still in transition to occupancy levels required under purchase/leaseback agreements; 3) acquiring a first mortgage loan secured by an unoccupied personal care facility and 4) acquiring a 95% equity interest in an entity which will acquire a second mortgage loan. (2) Federal Income Taxes At the earliest possible date, the Company intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, upon such qualification it will not be subject to federal income taxes on amounts distributed to shareholders provided it distributes at least 95 percent of its taxable income and meets certain other conditions. The Company may, however, be subject to state or local taxation in various jurisdictions. (3) Planned Transactions The Company intends to contribute the proceeds of the Offering to an operating partnership in exchange for the sole general partner interest and a majority limited partner interest. The operating partnership expects to use the contributions from the Company and borrowings under a proposed credit facility to purchase 21 healthcare properties for an aggregate cost of $155.6 million and to fund construction and term loans on nine healthcare properties with an aggregate balance of $34.8 million. In addition, the Company expects to make a $5.6 million loan to ET Capital Corp. ("ET Capital") and expects to invest an additional $1.8 million to acquire a 95%, nonvoting equity interest in ET Capital. ET Capital expects to use the proceeds from the loan and the contributed capital from the Company and the Company's chief executive officer to purchase a $7.5 million working capital term note from Genesis Health Ventures, Inc. ("Genesis"), which is secured by a second lien on 11 skilled nursing facilities and related accounts receivable and other working capital assets. The Company also expects to acqure a $800,000 first mortgage note from Genesis. Thirteen of the properties to be purchased with an aggregate cost of $93.4 million are owned by Genesis and will be leased back to affiliates of Genesis or to third parties under long-term operating leases. A construction loan of approximately $2.0 million will be purchased from Genesis. Affiliates of Genesis will be the borrowers on seven of the nine construction and term loans, and Genesis manages the properties securing the working capital term note. The Chairman and chief executive officer of Genesis is chairman of the board of trustees of the Company. 7 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3) Continued The operating partnership has agreements to purchase the properties and to purchase or make the construction, term and first and second mortgage loans, subject to certain terms and conditions, including, among other things, successful completion of the Offering and obtaining a credit facility. The Company has obtained a commitment from an affiliate of a commercial bank for a secured credit facility which would be used to pay a portion of the purchase price of the properties and to fund the construction and term loans and which would be available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. Management believes that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient credit on acceptable terms. The Company has agreed to reimburse actual costs incurred on its behalf by Genesis upon consummation of the Offering. These costs relate to organizing the Company, negotiating property acquisitions, performing due diligence related to the properties, performing corporate work in contemplation of the Offering, and preparing the registration statement. This amount is estimated to be approximately $3.0 million and will be payable upon the closing of the Offering from the proceeds of the Offering. The Company and Genesis plan to enter into an agreement for a period of three years from the closing of the Offering (subject to annual renewal), pursuant to which Genesis has granted the Company a right of first refusal to purchase and leaseback to Genesis any assisted living, independent living or skilled nursing facility which Genesis determines to sell and leaseback (other than sale/leaseback transactions with commercial banking institutions). The agreement also would provide the Company with (i) a right to offer financing to Genesis and other developers of assisted and independent living facilities which, once developed, will be operated by Genesis and (ii) a right to offer financing to Genesis with respect to any new off-balance sheet financing of skilled nursing facilities currently owned by Genesis. The Company intends to provide Genesis with a first right of refusal to lease or manage any assisted living, independent living or skilled nursing facility financed or acquired by the Company within Genesis' markets unless the facility will be leased or managed by the developing or selling company or an affiliate thereof. (4) Employee Benefit Plans and Related Matters The Company's board of trustees intends to adopt a share option and incentive plan. The Company has reserved 9.9% of the total number of common shares and operating partnership units outstanding from time to time for issuance under the share option and incentive plan. As of the effective date of the Offering, the Company intends to grant options to purchase 497,500 shares. Of these options, 150,000 will vest immediately, and the remainder will vest over three to five years. The Company intends to adopt the intrinsic value approach to accounting for share-based compensation. The Company's president and chief executive officer and its chief financial officer were issued limited partnership interests in the operating partnership in consideration for services rendered in connection with the formation of the Company. It is anticipated that the operating partnership will issue 130,750 limited partnership units in respect of these interests at the time of the Offering. The operating partnership will recognize compensation expense equal to the estimated fair market value of the units awarded which will be reported in the Company's statement of operations upon completion of the Offering. These units are redeemable beginning fourteen months after completion of the Offering for either cash or, at the option of the Company, common shares on a one-for-one basis. 8 (4) Continued The Company will enter into an employment agreement with its president and chief executive officer upon consummation of the Offering. The agreement will have an initial term of three years, subject to automatic renewal for subsequent two year terms, and will cover matters including compensation, disability and termination. The agreement will also contain provisions which are intended to limit the president from competing with the Company throughout the term of the agreement and for a period of two years thereafter. The Company will also enter into a non-competition agreement with the chairman of the board of trustees. The agreement will be in effect during the period that he serves as chairman. 9 Item 9.
