million senior note issuance.

FFO totaled $57.3 million, or $1.89 per diluted share for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, compared with $58.6 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, for
the same period in 2000.

The company had a total outstanding debt balance of $416 million at September
30, 2001, down from $439 million in third quarter 2000, and shareholders' equity
of $763 million, which represents a debt to total capitalization ratio of 35
percent. The company's coverage ratio of EBITDA to interest was 3.66 to 1.0 for
the twelve months ended September 30, 2001.

NEW FACILITY INVESTMENTS. The company's investment activity for the quarter
totaled $39.3 million, including the acquisition of seven assisted living
facilities, with a total of 390 beds, located in three states and leased to two
operators.

PORTFOLIO UPDATE. The portfolio results met the company's expectations. The
seasoning of the assisted living portfolio is on target. The company ended the
second quarter with 24 assisted living facilities remaining in fill-up
representing less than 19 percent of revenues. Only three assisted living
facilities have occupancy less than 50 percent.

OUTLOOK FOR 2001 AND 2002. The company previously announced FFO guidance of
$0.64 to $0.65 per diluted share per quarter for 2001. With the recent debt
offering and the previous equity offering, the company believes FFO will be
$0.62 to $0.63 in fourth quarter 2001 and $0.64 to $0.65 in first quarter 2002.
