NOTE: Computations of per share amounts from continuing operations, discontinued
operations and net income are made independently. Therefore, the sum of per
share amounts from continuing operations and discontinued operations may not
agree with the per share amounts from net income allocable to common
stockholders. Quarterly and year-to-date computations of per share amounts are
made independently. Therefore, the sum of per share amounts for the quarters may
not agree with the per share amounts for the year.




Reconciliation of Funds From Operations ("FFO")

FFO is a supplemental measure of a REIT's financial performance that is not
defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We
define FFO as net income allocable to common stockholders adjusted to exclude
the gains or losses on the sale of assets and adjusted to add back impairment
charges, real estate depreciation and other non-cash charges. Other REITs may
not use this definition of FFO and therefore, caution should be exercised when
comparing our company's FFO to that of other REITs. FFO is used in the REIT
industry as a supplemental measure of financial performance, but is not a
substitute for net income per share allocable to common stockholders determined
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

coverage ratio

(1) Decrease primarily due to the repayment of $15.8 million on two mortgage
loans secured by 10 assisted living properties located in various states.

(2) Increase primarily due to decrease in interest expense relating to the
repayment of debt.

(3) Increase primarily due to increases in rental income resulting from lease
restructuring and one-time interest income resulting from the prepayment of a
mortgage loan.

(4) Increase primarily due to the decrease in market capitalization.

(5) Decrease is due primarily to non-payment of rental income and mortgage
interest income from affiliates of Sunwest Management, Inc., loan pay-offs and
lower invested cash balances at lower interest rates, partially offset by lower
interest expense due to debt paid off in 2008. Additionally in the fourth
quarter of 2008, we incurred $0.6 million of one-time charges related primarily
to lease/loan defaults and terminated transactions.

(6) Decrease primarily due to increase in market capitalization.
