accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its investment in its majority owned and controlled joint ventures. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain items in prior period financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation, including those required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We have prepared the condensed
consolidated financial statements included herein without audit. These financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Although we believe that the disclosures in the financial statements included herein are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (2001 Annual Report). The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a
full year.
Revenue Recognition
Rental income from operating leases is accrued as earned over the life of the lease agreements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The majority of
our leases do not contain step rent provisions. Interest income on real estate mortgages is recognized using the effective interest method based upon the expected payments over the lives of the mortgages. Additional rent and additional interest,
included in the captions Rental income and Interest and other income, respectively, are generally computed as a percentage of facility net patient revenues in excess of base amounts or as a percentage of the increase in the
Consumer Price Index. Additional rent and interest are generally calculated and payable monthly or quarterly, and most of our leases contain provisions such that total rent cannot decrease from one year to the next. While the calculations and
payments are generally made on a quarterly basis, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB No. 101) does not allow for the recognition of such revenue until all possible contingencies
have been eliminated. Most of our leases with additional rent contingent upon revenue are structured as quarterly calculations such that all contingencies have been eliminated at each of our quarterly reporting dates.
We have historically deferred the payment of rent for the first several months on leases for buildings we have constructed. These deferred
amounts are repaid over the remainder of the lease term. During 2001 we began, in certain instances, to provide similar terms for leases on buildings that we have taken or received back from certain operators. Although the payment of cash rent is
deferred, rental income is recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. We evaluate the collectibility of the deferred rent balances on an ongoing basis and provide reserves against receivables we believe may not be fully
recoverable. The ultimate amount of deferred rent we realize could be less than amounts recorded.
Impact of
New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2001, SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets was issued. This pronouncement supersedes SFAS No. 121 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of and a portion of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 30 Reporting the Results of Operations, Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions and became effective for us on January 1, 2002. SFAS No.
144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 as it relates to assets to be held and used and assets to be sold, but adds provisions for assets to be disposed of other than by sale. It also changes the accounting for the disposal of a
segment under APB No. 30 by requiring the operations, including any depreciation in the period, of any assets with their own identifiable cash flows that are disposed of or held for sale to be removed from income from continuing operations and
reported as discontinued operations. Treating such assets as discontinued operations also requires the reclassification of the operations, including any depreciation, of any such assets for any prior periods presented. The adoption of SFAS No. 144
has not had a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations, however it has resulted in a caption for discontinued operations being included on our statements of operations to report the results of operations of assets
sold or classified as held for sale during the current period. The prior period statement of operations presented has been reclassified to reflect the results of operations for these same facilities as discontinued operations in the prior period.
As of June 30, 2002, we had direct ownership of 128 skilled
nursing facilities, 128 assisted living facilities, nine continuing care retirement communities, one rehabilitation hospital, one long-term acute care hospital and
7
NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
six buildings classified as assets held for sale. Substantially all of our owned facilities are leased under net leases that are accounted for as operating leases.
Our leases have initial terms ranging from 5 to 21 years, and generally have two or more multiple-year renewal options.
Approximately 71% of our facilities are leased under master leases. In addition, most of our other leases contain cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions tied to other leases with the same lessee, as well as grouped lease renewals and
grouped purchase options. Obligations under most of our leases have corporate guarantees, and leases covering 202 facilities are backed by irrevocable letters of credit or security deposits that cover up to 12 months of monthly minimum rents. Under
the terms of the leases, the lessees are responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we acquired seven assisted living facilities in two separate transactions for an aggregate investment of approximately $38,287,000, including the assumption of approximately $14,227,000 of
secured debt on one facility. We also funded approximately $4,427,000 in capital improvements at certain facilities in accordance with existing lease provisions. Such capital improvements generally result in an increase in the minimum rents earned
by us on these facilities.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, we sold two skilled nursing
facilities, two assisted living facilities and one land parcel in five separate transactions for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $3,807,000. We also recorded notes receivables totaling approximately $1,650,000 related to two of these sales.
Three of the facilities and the land parcel were sold for their approximate book values, resulting in no gain or loss related to the disposals. One of these three facilities was written down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell during the
fourth quarter of 2001 and the land parcel was written down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell during the first quarter of 2002. The sale of the fourth facility, which was written down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell
during the first quarter of 2002, resulted in a gain of approximately $102,000 that is included in discontinued operations on the income statement.
We have now concluded our negotiations with all five of our operators that had filed for protection under the United States bankruptcy laws since 1999. These operators included Sun Healthcare Group,
Inc. (Sun), Mariner Health Care, Inc. (Mariner), Integrated Health Services, Inc. (Integrated), SV/Home Office Inc. and certain affiliates (SV) and Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (ALC).
During 2002, Sun, Mariner and ALC emerged from bankruptcy. In March 2002, the bankruptcy court approved our final settlement with Sun that included their assumption of five leases and rejection of one lease. In April 2002, the bankruptcy court
approved Mariners Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization that will result in us obtaining ownership of the facility securing our only mortgage loan with Mariner. Also in April 2002, the bankruptcy court approved our final settlement with
Integrated that resulted in the assumption by Integrated of the amended leases on five facilities and the rejection of two leases. Over the course of these proceedings, (A) Sun has returned 20 facilities and agreed to a master lease of the remaining
five facilities involved in the bankruptcy; (B) Mariner has returned 15 facilities, agreed to give us a deed in lieu of foreclosure for a facility that secured a mortgage loan receivable and assumed leases on six facilities; (C) Integrated has
returned two facilities and agreed to a master lease of the remaining five facilities; (D) SV has agreed to assume the lease on one facility, return one facility and extend its mortgage on two other facilities for five years; and (E) ALC assumed the
leases on two facilities and transferred title to us and signed leases on two facilities that had previously secured mortgages loans receivable from ALC. We have leased 32 of these facilities to new operators and sold three facilities. Of the four
remaining facilities, we expect to lease three at rates similar to those paid by the prior operator and to sell the fourth.
Effective April 1, 2001, we leased ten facilities that had previously been leased by Balanced Care Corporation (BCC) to a new private operator after BCC defaulted on its leases in December 2000. The
8

facilities were constructed and opened during 1999 and 2000 with an aggregate investment of approximately $68,712,000. The BCC leases were terminated effective as of January 1, 2001, and BCC
managed the facilities until April 1, 2001. The new leases had straight-lined lease rates comparable to those previously paid by BCC of approximately $580,000 per month. As a result of lower than expected operating results during the first quarter
of 2002, in March 2002 we fully reserved the deferred rent balance outstanding and began to record revenues only to the extent cash is received. For more detail regarding the reserve, please see
Note 9 below.
As of June 30, 2002, we held 27 mortgage loans receivable
secured by 29 skilled nursing facilities, six assisted living facilities and three continuing care retirement communities. As of June 30, 2002, the mortgage loans receivable had a net book value of approximately $127,302,000 with individual
outstanding balances ranging from approximately $125,000 to $16,104,000 and maturities ranging from 2002 to 2024.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, portions of two mortgage loans receivable aggregating $6,770,000 secured by two skilled nursing facilities were prepaid. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, we also acquired
title to two assisted living facilities for which we previously had provided mortgage loans having an aggregate mortgage balance of $5,855,000.
During the six-month period ended June 30,
2002, we repaid $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes that bore interest at a weighted average fixed rate of 8.04%.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we issued
1,000,000 shares of common stock to Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund and 869,565 shares of common stock to a unit investment trust sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney. The shares were sold based on the market closing price of our stock of
$19.58 on February 25, 2002 and resulted in net proceeds of approximately $34,609,000 after underwriting, legal and other fees of approximately $1,153,000.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income from
continuing operations available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders is calculated by deducting dividends declared on preferred stock from income
from continuing operations. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of any potential shares outstanding, which for us is only comprised of dilutive stock options. The table below details the components of the basic and diluted earnings per

During 2001, we entered into a joint
venture with an institutional investor that may invest up to $130,000,000 in health care facilities similar to those already owned by us. We anticipate that the venture will be funded 50% by cash from the institutional investor and us and 50% by
non-recourse secured debt. We are a 25% equity partner in the venture and therefore have a total commitment of up to $16,250,000. The financial statements of the joint venture are not consolidated with our financial statements and our investment is
accounted for using the equity method. No investments were made by or into this joint venture through March 31, 2002.
In April 2002, the joint venture acquired 43 assisted living facilities in 10 states with a total cost of approximately $95,632,000 that are leased to Alterra Healthcare Corporation. The joint venture also incurred deferred financing
costs of approximately $1,400,000 and is committed to fund an additional $2,000,000 of capital improvements. These amounts and the acquisition costs not paid to date will bring the joint ventures total investment to approximately $99,100,000.
The acquisition was financed with secured non-recourse debt of

approximately $45,860,000, a capital contribution from our joint venture partner of approximately $39,300,000 and a capital contribution from us of approximately $13,100,000. We do not expect to
make any additional contributions to the joint venture related to these facilities.

During the first quarter of 2002, we became aware of facts and
circumstances indicating that certain assets may have become impaired. After analyzing the assets and the facts, we recorded an impairment of assets charge in the first quarter totaling $14,537,000. Of this amount, $12,472,000 was reported in
continuing operations and $2,065,000 was reported in discontinued operations. As a result of lower than expected operating results for the

first quarter at the former Balanced Care Corporation facilities discussed above and six facilities operated by another operator, we changed our estimate of the recoverability of the deferred
rent related to these facilities at the end of March 2002. We determined that the most appropriate method of recognizing revenues for these facilities, given the recent operating results, is to record revenues only to the extent cash rent is
actually received. Accordingly, we fully reserved the deferred rent balance outstanding and all related notes receivable outstanding, totaling $8,305,000, as part of the impairment of assets charge in continuing operations. In addition, the
impairment of assets charge reported in continuing operations also included a reserve of $4,167,000 against a loan previously made to the operator of a large continuing care retirement community in Florida. The collectibility of that loan became
uncertain due to developments at the facility during the first quarter that we believed might necessitate a change in operators. During the second quarter, we entered into an agreement with a new operator to take over the facility effective
September 1, 2002. During the first quarter of 2002, we elected to classify seven unoccupied buildings and eight land parcels as assets held for sale and transferred the net book values of these assets to assets held for sale on the balance sheet as
required by SFAS No. 144. The impairment of assets charge in discontinued operations totaling $2,065,000 represents the write-down of four of these properties to their individual estimated fair values less costs to sell during the first quarter.

Certain information contained in this
report includes forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements include statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other
statements which are other than statements of historical facts. These statements may be identified, without limitation, by the use of forward looking terminology such as may, will, anticipates,
expects, believes, intends, should or comparable terms or the negative thereof. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date hereof. Such
statements speak only as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update such forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the
statements. These risks and uncertainties include (without limitation) the following: the effect of economic and market conditions and changes in interest rates; the general distress of the healthcare industry; government regulations, including
changes in the reimbursement levels under the Medicare and Medicaid programs; continued deterioration of the operating results or financial condition, including bankruptcies, of our tenants; our ability to attract new operators for certain
facilities; occupancy levels at certain facilities; the ability of our operators to repay deferred rent or loans in future periods; our ability to sell certain facilities for their book value; the amount and yield of any additional investments;
changes in tax laws and regulations affecting real estate investment trusts; access to the capital markets and the cost of capital; changes in the ratings of our debt securities; and the risk factors set forth under the caption Risk
Factors in our Form 8-K dated June 27, 2002.
Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2002 vs. Six-Month Period Ended
June 30, 2001
Rental income decreased $4,825,000, or 7%, over the same period in 2001. The decrease was
primarily due to reserving straight-lined rent on certain facilities discussed below, the disposal of 22 facilities since January 2001, rent reductions on certain facilities that were returned to us and leased to other operators in 2001 and 2002.
The decrease was partially offset by the conversion of five facilities totaling $14,480,000 from mortgage loans receivable to owned real estate properties and the acquisition of seven facilities since January 1, 2001 and rent increases at existing
facilities. Interest and other income decreased $3,359,000, or 30%, over the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to the payoff at par of mortgage loans receivable totaling $39,060,000 securing seven facilities, the conversion of five
facilities totaling $14,480,000 from mortgage loans receivable to owned real estate properties and principal repayment of notes receivable since January 1, 2001. Income from unconsolidated joint venture represents our 25% share of the income
generated by the joint venture and our management fee of 2.5% of the revenues of the unconsolidated joint venture since the acquisition of 43 assisted living facilities by the joint venture in April 2002. Please see the caption
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture below for more information regarding the unconsolidated joint venture.
Interest and amortization of deferred financing costs decreased $3,386,000, or 12%, over the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to the payoff of $103,150,000 of fixed rate medium-term
notes since January 2001 and a reduction in the average borrowings and average interest rates on our $100,000,000 bank line of credit, partially offset by the issuance of $15,000,000 of fixed rate medium-term notes during the first quarter of 2001.
Depreciation and non-cash charges decreased $1,594,000, or 9%, over the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to the disposal of 22 facilities since January 2001. The decrease was partially offset by the acquisition of seven
facilities during the second quarter of 2002 and the conversion of five facilities totaling $14,480,000 from mortgage loans receivable to owned real estate properties since January 1, 2001.
During the first quarter of 2002, we became aware of facts and circumstances indicating that certain assets may have become impaired. After analyzing the assets and the
facts, we recorded an impairment of assets charge in continuing operations totaling $12,472,000. As a result of lower than expected operating results for the first
13
quarter at the former Balanced Care Corporation (BCC) facilities discussed below under the caption
Information Regarding Certain Operators and six facilities operated by another operator, we changed our estimate of the recoverability of the deferred rent related to these facilities at the end of March 2002. We
determined that the most appropriate method of recognizing revenues for these facilities, given the recent operating results, is to record revenues only to the extent cash is actually received. Accordingly, we fully reserved the deferred rent
balance outstanding and all related notes receivable outstanding, totaling approximately $8,305,000, as part of the impairment of assets charge in continuing operations. In addition, the impairment of assets charge reported in continuing operations
also included a reserve of $4,167,000 against a loan previously made to the operator of a large continuing care retirement community in Florida. The collectibility of that loan became uncertain due to developments at the facility during the first
quarter that we believed might necessitate a change in operators. During the second quarter, we entered into an agreement with a new operator to take over the facility effective September 1, 2002.
During the first quarter of 2002, we elected to classify seven unoccupied buildings and eight land parcels as assets held for sale. As
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the net book values of these assets have been transferred to assets held for sale and the
operations of these assets have been included in discontinued operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. Please see the caption
Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements below for more information regarding this treatment. The impairment of assets charge in discontinued operations totals $2,065,000 and represents the write-down of four of
these assets to their individual estimated fair values less costs to sell.
Three-Month Period Ended June 30,
2002 vs. Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2001
Rental income decreased $2,495,000, or 7%, over the same
period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to reserving straight-lined rent on certain facilities discussed below, the disposal of 17 facilities during the last twelve months, rent reductions on certain facilities that were returned to us and
leased to other operators in 2001 and 2002. The decrease was partially offset by the conversion of four facilities totaling $13,553,000 from mortgage loans receivable to owned real estate properties and the acquisition of seven facilities during the
last twelve months and rent increases at existing facilities. Interest and other income decreased $2,031,000, or 37%, over the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to the payoff at par of mortgage loans receivable totaling $27,497,000
securing four facilities, the conversion of four facilities totaling $13,553,000 from mortgage loans receivable to owned real estate properties and principal repayment of notes receivable during the last twelve months. Income from joint venture
represents our 25% share of the income generated by the unconsolidated joint venture and our management fee of 2.5% of the revenues of the joint venture since the acquisition of 43 assisted living facilities by the joint venture in April 2002.
Please see the caption
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture below for more information regarding the unconsolidated joint venture.
Interest and amortization of deferred financing costs decreased $1,585,000, or 11%, over the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to the payoff of $83,150,000 of fixed rate medium-term
notes during the last twelve months and a reduction in the average borrowings and average interest rates on our $100,000,000 bank line of credit. Depreciation and non-cash charges increased $177,000, or 2%, over the same period in 2001. The increase
was primarily attributable to the acquisition of seven facilities during the second quarter of 2002 and the conversion of four facilities totaling $13,553,000 from mortgage loans receivable to owned real estate properties during the last twelve
months. The increase was partially offset by the disposal of 17 facilities during the last twelve months.
We
expect to receive increased rent and interest at individual facilities because our leases and mortgages generally contain provisions under which rents or interest income increase with increases in facility revenues and/or increases in the Consumer
Price Index. If revenues at our facilities and/or the Consumer Price Index do not increase, our revenues may not continue to increase. Sales of facilities or repayments of mortgage loans
14
receivable would serve to offset revenue increases, and if sales and repayments exceed additional investments, this would actually reduce revenues, as can be seen when comparing the current year
results to the same period a year ago. Our leases could renew below or above the aggregate existing rent level, so the impact of lease renewals may cause a decrease or an increase in the total rent we receive. Sales of facilities or the exercise of
purchase options by tenants would also cause a decrease in the total rent we receive. Additional investments in health care facilities would increase rental and/or interest income. As additional investments in facilities are made, depreciation
and/or interest expense would also increase. We expect any such increases to be at least partially offset by rents or interest income associated with the investments.
In August 2001, SFAS No. 144 Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets was issued. This pronouncement supersedes SFAS No. 121 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of and a portion of Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30 Reporting the Results of Operations, Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions and became
effective for us on January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 as it relates to assets to be held and used and assets to be sold, but adds provisions for assets to be disposed of other than by sale. It also
changes the accounting for the disposal of a segment under APB No. 30 by requiring the operations of any assets with their own identifiable cash flows that are disposed of or held for sale to be removed from income from continuing operations and
reported as discontinued operations. Treating such assets as discontinued operations also requires the reclassification of the operations of any such assets for any prior periods presented. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 has not had a material impact
on our financial condition or the results of our operations, however it has resulted in a caption for discontinued operations being included on our statements of operations to report the results of operations of assets sold or classified as held for
sale during the current period. The prior period statement of operations presented has been reclassified to reflect the results of operations for these same facilities as discontinued operations in the prior period.
Our financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those that impact our
most critical accounting policies. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We believe the
following are our most critical accounting policies.
Asset Impairment
We review our long-lived assets individually on a quarterly basis to determine if there are indicators of impairment in accordance with
SFAS No. 144. Indicators may include the tenants inability to make rent payments, operating losses or negative operating trends at the facility level, notification by the tenant that they will not renew their lease, a decision to dispose of an
asset or changes in the market value of the property, among others. For operating assets, if indicators of impairment exist, we compare the undiscounted cash flows from the expected use of the property to its net book value to determine if
impairment exists. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is higher than the current net book value, SFAS No. 144 concludes no impairment exists. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is lower than the current net book value, we recognize an
impairment loss for the difference between the net book value of the asset and its estimated fair market value. To the extent we decide to sell an asset, we recognize an impairment loss if the current net book value of the asset exceeds its fair
value less costs to sell. The above analyses require us to make a determination about whether there are indicators of impairment for individual assets, to estimate the most likely stream of cash flows from
15
operating assets and to determine the fair value of assets that are impaired or held for sale. If our assumptions, projections or estimates regarding an asset change in the future, we may have to
record an impairment charge to reduce or further reduce the net book value of such asset.
Collectibility of
Receivables
We evaluate the collectibility of our mortgage and other receivables on a regular basis. We
evaluate the collectibility of the receivables based on factors including the financial strength of the borrower and any guarantors, the value of the underlying collateral, the operations and operating trends of the underlying collateral, if any and
current economic conditions, among others. If our evaluation of these factors indicates we may not recover the full value of the receivable, we provide a reserve against the portion of the receivable that we estimate will not be recovered. This
analysis requires us to determine whether there are factors indicating a receivable may not be fully collectible and to estimate the amount of the receivable that will not be collected. If our assumptions or estimates regarding the collectibility of
a receivable change in the future, we may have to record a reserve to reduce or further reduce the carrying value of the receivable.
Revenue Recognition
Our rental revenue is accounted for in accordance with SFAS
No. 13 Accounting for Leases and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements among other authoritative pronouncements. These pronouncements require us to account for the rental
income on a straight-line basis unless a more appropriate method exists. We believe that the method most reflective of the use of a health care facility is the straight-line method. Straight-line accounting requires us to calculate the total fixed
rent to be paid over the life of the lease and recognize that revenue evenly over that life. In a situation where a lease calls for fixed rental increases during the life of a lease or there is a period of free rent at the beginning of a lease,
rental income recorded in the early years of a lease is higher than the actual cash rent received which creates an asset on the balance sheet called deferred rent receivable. At some point during the lease, depending on the rent levels and terms,
this reverses and the cash rent payments received during the later years of the lease are higher than the rental income recognized, which reduces the deferred rent receivable balance to zero by the end of the lease. The majority of our leases do not
contain fixed increases or provide for free or reduced rent at the beginning of the lease term. However, certain leases for facilities we have constructed have free rent for the first three to six months and certain leases we have entered into,
primarily with regard to facilities returned to us by certain operators discussed below under the caption Information Regarding Certain Operators, have reduced or free rent in the early months of the lease or fixed increases in future
years. We record the rent for these facilities on a straight-line basis in accordance with SFAS No. 13. However, we also assess the collectibility of the deferred portion of the rent that is to be collected in a future period in accordance with SAB
No. 101. This assessment is based on several factors, including the financial strength of the lessee and any guarantors, the historical operations and operating trends of the facility, the historical payment pattern of the facility and whether we
intend to continue to lease the facility to the current operator, among others. If our evaluation of these factors indicates we may not receive the rent payments due in the future, we provide a reserve against the current rental income as an offset
to revenue, and depending on the circumstances, we may provide a reserve against the existing deferred rent balance for the portion, up to its full value, that we estimate will not be recovered. This assessment requires us to determine whether there
are factors indicating the future rent payments may not be fully collectible and to estimate the amount of the rent that will not be collected. If our assumptions or estimates regarding a lease change in the future, we may have to record a reserve
to reduce or further reduce the rental revenue recognized and/or deferred rent receivable balance.
Related Party Transactions
One of our directors was chairman of the board of directors during 1999 through 2001 and chief executive
officer during 1999 and 2000 of Beverly Enterprises, Inc. As of January 2002, he is no longer serving on its board of directors.

We have now concluded our negotiations with
all five of our operators that had filed for protection under the United States bankruptcy laws since 1999. These operators included Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (Sun), Mariner Health Care, Inc. (Mariner), Integrated Health
Services, Inc. (Integrated), SV/Home Office Inc. and certain affiliates (SV) and Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (ALC). Over-leveraging of balance sheets, increased wage and salary costs and changes in
reimbursement levels during 1999 had an adverse impact on the financial performance of some of the companies that operate nursing homes we own. In addition, overbuilding in the assisted living sector has resulted in lower than anticipated fill rates
and rental rates for some of the companies that operate assisted living facilities owned by us. During 2002, Sun, Mariner and ALC emerged from bankruptcy. In March 2002, the bankruptcy court approved our final settlement with Sun that included their
assumption of five leases and rejection of one lease. In April 2002, the bankruptcy court approved Mariners Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization that will result in us obtaining ownership of the facility securing our only mortgage loan
with Mariner. Also in April 2002, the bankruptcy court approved our final settlement with Integrated that resulted in the assumption by Integrated of the amended leases on five facilities and the rejection of two leases. Over the course of these
proceedings, (A) Sun has returned 20 facilities and agreed to a master lease of the remaining five facilities involved in the bankruptcy; (B) Mariner has returned 15 facilities, agreed to give us a deed in lieu of foreclosure for a facility that
secured a mortgage loan receivable and assumed leases on six facilities; (C) Integrated has returned two facilities and agreed to a master lease of the remaining five facilities; (D) SV has agreed to assume the lease on one facility, return one
facility and extend its mortgage on two other facilities for five years; and (E) ALC assumed the leases on two facilities and transferred title to us and signed leases on two facilities that had previously secured mortgages loans receivable from
ALC. We have leased 32 of these facilities to new operators and sold three facilities. Of the four remaining facilities, we expect to lease three at rates similar to those paid by the prior operator and to sell the fourth.
Effective April 1, 2001, we leased ten facilities that had previously been leased by Balanced Care Corporation (BCC) to a new
private operator after BCC defaulted on its leases in December 2000. The facilities were constructed and opened during 1999 and 2000 with an aggregate investment of approximately $68,712,000. The BCC leases were terminated effective as of January 1,
2001, and BCC managed the facilities until April 1, 2001. The new leases had straight-lined lease rates comparable to those previously paid by BCC of approximately $580,000 per month. During 2001, we recognized revenues related to these buildings in
excess of cash received of approximately $5,200,000. At the end of March 2002, we fully reserved the deferred rent receivable balance outstanding as discussed above under the caption
Operating Results.
During 2001, we entered into a joint
venture with an institutional investor that may invest up to $130,000,000 in health care facilities similar to those already owned by us. We anticipate that the venture will be funded 50% by cash from the institutional investor and us and 50% by
non-recourse secured debt. We are a 25% equity partner in the venture and therefore have a total commitment of up to $16,250,000. The financial statements of the joint venture are not consolidated with our financial statements and our investment is
accounted for using the equity method. No investments were made by or into this joint venture through March 31, 2002.
In April 2002, the joint venture acquired 43 assisted living facilities in 10 states with a total cost of approximately $95,632,000 that are leased to Alterra Healthcare Corporation. The joint venture also incurred deferred financing
costs of approximately $1,400,000 and is committed to fund an additional $2,000,000 of capital improvements. These amounts and the acquisition costs not paid to date will bring the joint ventures total investment to approximately $99,100,000.
The acquisition was financed with secured non-recourse debt of approximately $45,860,000, a capital contribution from our joint venture partner of approximately $39,300,000 and a capital contribution from us of approximately $13,100,000. We do not
expect to make any additional contributions to the joint venture related to these facilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we acquired seven assisted living facilities in two separate transactions for an aggregate investment of approximately
$38,287,000, including the assumption of approximately $14,227,000 of secured debt on one facility. We also funded approximately $4,427,000 in capital improvements at certain facilities in accordance with existing lease provisions. Such capital
improvements generally result in an increase in the minimum rents earned by us on these facilities. The acquisitions and capital improvements were funded by borrowings on our bank line of credit and by cash on hand.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, we sold two skilled nursing facilities and two assisted living facilities in four
separate transactions for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $3,807,000. We also recorded receivables totaling approximately $1,650,000 related to two of these sales. Three of the facilities were sold for their approximate book values,
including one that was written down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell during the fourth quarter of 2001, resulting in no gain or loss related to the disposals. The sale of the fourth facility, which was written down to its estimated
fair value less costs to sell during the first quarter of 2002, resulted in a gain of approximately $102,000 that is included in discontinued operations on the income statement. The proceeds from the sales were used to repay borrowings on our bank
line of credit.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, portions of two mortgage loans receivable aggregating
$6,770,000 secured by two skilled nursing facilities were prepaid. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, we also acquired title to two assisted living facilities for which we previously had provided mortgage loans having an aggregate
mortgage balance of $5,855,000. The proceeds from the repayments were used to repay borrowings on our bank line of credit.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund and 869,565 shares of common stock to a unit investment trust sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney.
The shares were sold based on the market closing price of our stock of $19.58 on February 25, 2002 and resulted in net proceeds of approximately $34,609,000 after underwriting, legal and other fees of approximately $1,153,000. The proceeds received
were used to repay borrowings on our bank line of credit and repay $15,000,0000 in aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes that bore interest at a weighted average fixed rate of 8.57%.
At June 30, 2002, we had $36,000,000 available under our $100,000,000 bank line of credit that expires on March 31, 2003. We have shelf registrations on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under which we may issue (a) up to $416,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes and (b) up to approximately $124,484,000 of securities including debt, convertible debt, common and preferred stock
at June 30, 2002. On July 3, 2002, we issued $100,000,000 of medium-term notes with an interest rate of 8.25% and a maturity date of July 1, 2012 which reduces the aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes available under shelf
registrations to $316,000,000.
We did not use any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or have any
unconsolidated subsidiaries prior to March 31, 2002. The only off-balance sheet financing arrangement that we currently use is the unconsolidated joint venture discussed above under the caption
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture.
As discussed above under the caption
Critical Accounting Policies, we have historically recorded deferred rent at certain buildings to be repaid over the remainder of the lease term in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We recognized
approximately $780,000 and $1,280,000 of revenues in excess of cash received during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and there is approximately $7,614,000 and $12,700,000 of deferred rent receivables, net of reserves,
recorded under the caption Other assets on the balance sheet at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. During the first quarter, we reserved approximately $5,873,000 of the deferred rent balance then outstanding.
We anticipate making additional investments in healthcare related facilities during 2002. The level of our new
investments was depressed during the prior two years because access to capital at a reasonable cost was not
18
available. The common stock issuance during the first quarter and the medium-term note issuance in July 2002 may indicate that our ability to access capital and fund investments may be improving.
Financing for future investments may be provided by borrowings under our bank line of credit, private placements or public offerings of debt or equity, the assumption of secured indebtedness, obtaining mortgage financing on a portion of our owned
portfolio or through joint ventures. We anticipate the potential repayment of certain mortgage loans receivable and the possible sale of certain facilities during 2002. In the event that there are mortgage loan receivable repayments or facility
sales in excess of new investments, revenues may decrease. We anticipate using the proceeds from any mortgage loan receivable repayments or facility sales to reduce the outstanding balance on our bank line of credit, if any, to repay other
borrowings as they mature or to provide capital for future investments. Any such reduction in debt levels would result in reduced interest expense that we believe would partially offset any decrease in revenues. We believe we have sufficient
liquidity and financing capability to finance anticipated future investments, maintain our current dividend level and repay borrowings at or prior to their maturity.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
This market risk exposure discussion is an update of material changes to the Market Risk Exposure discussion included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and should be read in
conjunction with such discussion. Readers are cautioned that many of the statements contained in the Market Risk Exposure discussion are forward looking and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures under the heading
Statement Regarding Forward Looking Disclosure set forth above.
We are
exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our mortgage loans receivable and debt. We do not utilize interest rate swaps, forward or option contracts on foreign currencies or commodities, or other types of derivative
financial instruments.
We provide mortgage loans to operators of healthcare facilities as part of our normal
operations. The majority of the loans have fixed rates. Three of our mortgage loans have adjustable rates; however, the rates adjust only once or twice over the loan lives and the minimum adjusted rates are equal to the current rates. Therefore, all
mortgage loans receivable are treated as fixed rate notes.
We utilize debt financing primarily for the purpose of
making additional investments in healthcare facilities. Historically, we have made short-term borrowings on our variable rate bank line of credit to fund our acquisitions until market conditions were appropriate, based on managements judgment,
to issue stock or fixed rate debt to provide long-term financing.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we
repaid $25,000,000 of fixed rate debt at a weighted average rate of 8.04%. In addition, the bank borrowings under our bank line of credit have increased from $35,000,000 to $64,000,000.
For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value, but do not impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes
in interest rates generally do not impact fair market value, but do affect the future earnings and cash flows. Holding the variable rate debt balance constant, and including the bank borrowings as variable rate debt due to its nature, each one
percentage point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in interest expense for the remaining six months of 2002 of approximately $382,000.
Decreases in interest rates during 2001 resulted in a decrease in interest expense related to our bank line of credit. Any future interest rate increases will increase the cost of borrowings on our
bank line of credit, any borrowings to refinance long-term debt as it matures or to finance future acquisitions.
