(1) Revised FASB Interpretation No. 46, which was issued in December
    2003, required that we deconsolidate the entity which had issued
    our trust preferred securities. The deconsolidation of this entity
    had no impact on our financial condition or net income. However,
    instead of presenting trust preferred securities on our balance
    sheet, we present the junior subordinated debentures that we
    issued to that entity. Distributions on the trust preferred
    securities are no longer presented on our income statement, but
    the interest on the debentures, which is equal to the
    distributions on the trust preferred securities, is included in
    interest expense. We reclassified previously reported results for
    the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and the
    balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, to conform to the current
    presentation.

(1) We compute FFO as shown in the calculation above. Our calculation
    of FFO differs from the NAREIT definition of FFO because we
    include deferred percentage rent as discussed in Note 2 below. We
    consider FFO to be an appropriate measure of performance for a
    REIT, along with net income and cash flow from operating,
    investing and financing activities. We believe that FFO provides
    useful information to investors because by excluding the effects
    of certain historical costs, such as depreciation expense, and
    gain or losses on sale of properties, FFO can facilitate
    comparison of current operating performance among REITs. FFO does
    not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance
    with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should
    not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flow from
    operating activities as a measure of financial performance or
    liquidity. FFO is one important factor considered by our board of
    trustees in determining the amount of distributions to
    shareholders. Other important factors include, but are not limited
    to, requirements to maintain our status as a REIT, limitations in
    our revolving bank credit facility and public debt covenants, the
    availability of debt and equity capital to us and our expectation
    of our future performance.

(2) We recognize percentage rental income received during the first,
    second and third quarters in the fourth quarter. Although
    recognition of revenue is deferred until the fourth quarter for
    purposes of calculating net income, the calculation of FFO for the
    first three quarters includes estimated amounts with respect to
    those periods. The fourth quarter FFO calculation excludes the
    amounts recognized during the first three quarters.

(3) We compute EBITDA as income from continuing operations plus
    interest expense, depreciation expense and deferred percentage
    rent. We consider EBITDA to be an appropriate measure of
    performance for a REIT, along with net income and cash flow from
    operating, investing and financing activities. EBITDA does not
    represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance
    with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net
    income or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of
    financial performance or liquidity.

(1) Properties where the majority of units are independent living
    apartments are classified as independent living communities.

(2) These 31 properties leased to Five Star Quality Care, Inc., or
    Five Star, are managed by Sunrise Senior Living, Inc., or Sunrise.
    Sunrise does not guaranty our lease with Five Star. Rent coverage
    is after non-subordinated management fees of $5.5 million and
    $14.6 million and $4.3 million and $12.7 million in the quarter
    and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

(3) Marriott International, Inc., or Marriott, guarantees the lease
    for the 14 properties leased to Sunrise.

(4) Independence Blue Cross, or IBC, a Pennsylvania health insurer,
    guarantees the lease for the 10 properties leased to NewSeasons
    Assisted Living Communities, Inc., or NewSeasons.

(5) Since April 2003, we have been in litigation with HEALTHSOUTH
    Corporation. We are seeking that our lease with HEALTHSOUTH be
    reformed to increase the rent payable to us under this lease,
    among other matters. We have had settlement discussions with the
    new management of HEALTHSOUTH, but a final settlement was not
    achieved. This litigation remains pending and no trial date has
    been set. On October 26, 2004, we sent a notice of lease
    termination to HEALTHSOUTH. Our lease with HEALTHSOUTH requires it
    to manage the properties for a transition period for a management
    fee. Through October 2004, HEALTHSOUTH has continued to pay
    monthly rent to us at the rate of $8.7 million per year, but we
    can not predict how HEALTHSOUTH may respond to the notice of lease
    termination.

(6) All tenant operating data presented are based upon the operating
    results provided by our tenants for the indicated periods ending
    September 30, 2004, or the most recent prior period tenant
    operating results available to us from our tenants. Rent coverage
    is calculated as operating cash flow from our tenants' facility
    operations, before subordinated charges and capital expenditure
    reserves, divided by rent payable to us. We have not independently
    verified our tenants' operating data.

(7) Includes data for periods prior to our ownership of these
    properties.

(8) During 2003, HEALTHSOUTH issued a press release stating that its
    historical financial information should not be relied upon. In
    2004, HEALTHSOUTH issued a press release stating that audited
    financial information would not be available until 2005. Because
    we have reason to doubt the financial information we have from
    HEALTHSOUTH we do not disclose any operating data for this tenant.

The forward looking implications of these statements may be that our rent may increase, that HEALTHSOUTH will manage the properties following the lease termination, that we may be able to lease these properties for higher rent or that HEALTHSOUTH may continue to pay our rent at the current rate. We cannot predict how HEALTHSOUTH may react to our recent notice of lease termination. Discovery during lawsuits or decisions by courts may result in conclusions that are different from any of these implications. You should not place undue reliance upon forward looking statements.
