PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Nationwide Health Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation organized in
October 1985 (the "Company"), is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") which
invests primarily in health care related facilities and provides financing to
health care providers. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had investments in
346 facilities located in 34 states and operated by 59 healthcare providers.
The facilities include 203 skilled nursing facilities, 107 assisted living
facilities, 14 continuing care retirement communities, 17 residential care
facilities for the elderly, 2 rehabilitation hospitals and 3 medical clinics.

As of December 31, 1998, the Company had direct ownership of 161 skilled
nursing facilities, 99 assisted living facilities, 9 continuing care retirement
communities, 17 residential care facilities for the elderly, 2 rehabilitation
hospitals and 3 medical clinics (the "Properties"). Substantially all of the
Company's owned facilities are leased under "net" leases (the "Leases"), which
are accounted for as operating leases, to 45 healthcare providers (the
"Lessees") including Alternative Living Services, American Retirement
Corporation, ARV Assisted Living, Inc., Assisted Living Concepts, Inc., Beverly
Enterprises, Inc. ("Beverly"), Harborside Healthcare Corporation, HEALTHSOUTH
Corporation, Integrated Health Services, Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc.,
Mariner Post-Acute Network, Newcare Health Corporation and Sun Healthcare
Group, Inc. Of the Lessees, only Beverly and Alternative Living Services are
expected to account for more than 10% of the Company's revenues in 1999.

The Leases have initial terms ranging from 9 to 19 years, and the Leases
generally have two or more multiple-year renewal options. The Company earns
fixed monthly minimum rents and may earn periodic additional rents. The
additional rent payments 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 rents are generally calculated and
payable monthly or quarterly. Most Leases contain provisions such that the
total rent cannot decrease from one year to the next. Most 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 the Leases have corporate guarantees, and leases covering 194
facilities are backed by irrevocable letters of credit or security deposits
that cover 2 to 12 months of monthly minimum rents. Under the terms of the
Leases, the Lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and
insurance on the leased properties.

As of December 31, 1998, the Company held 33 mortgage loans secured by 42
skilled nursing facilities, 8 assisted living facilities, and 5 continuing care
retirement communities. Such loans had an aggregate outstanding principal
balance of approximately $214,765,000 and a net book value of approximately
$206,613,000 at December 31, 1998. The mortgage loans have individual
outstanding balances ranging from approximately $541,000 to $21,500,000 and
have maturities ranging from 2003 to 2025.

During 1998, the Company acquired 17 skilled nursing facilities, 16 assisted
living facilities, 2 continuing care retirement communities and 9 residential
care facilities for the elderly in 26 separate transactions for an aggregate
investment of approximately $123,840,000. The Company also completed the
construction of 1 skilled nursing facility, 11 assisted living facilities, 1
continuing care retirement community and 2 clinics, in which the Company's
total aggregate investment was $103,155,000. Additionally, the Company provided
3 mortgage loans, secured by 1 skilled nursing facility and 2 assisted living
facilities in the aggregate amount of $11,615,000.

The Company anticipates providing lease or mortgage financing for healthcare
facilities to qualified operators and acquiring additional healthcare related
facilities, including skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities,
acute care hospitals and medical office buildings. Financing for such future
investments may be provided by borrowings under the Company's bank line of
credit, private placements or public offerings of debt or equity, and the
assumption of secured indebtedness.

1


Taxation of the Company

The Company believes that it has operated in such a manner as to qualify for
taxation as a "real estate investment trust" under Sections 856 through 860 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with
its taxable year ending December 31, 1985, and the Company intends to continue
to operate in such a manner. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a real
estate investment trust, it will generally not be subject to federal corporate
income taxes on its net income that is currently distributed to stockholders.
This treatment substantially eliminates the "double taxation" (e.g. at the
corporate and stockholder levels) that generally results from investment in
stock of a corporation.

Properties

Of the 346 facilities in which the Company has investments, the Company has
direct ownership of 161 skilled nursing facilities, 99 assisted living
facilities, 9 continuing care retirement communities, 17 residential care
facilities for the elderly, 2 rehabilitation hospitals and 3 medical clinics.
Substantially all of the properties are leased to other parties under terms
which require the lessee, in addition to paying rent, to pay all additional
charges, taxes, assessments, levies and fees incurred in the operation of the
leased properties.

Skilled Nursing Facilities

Skilled nursing facilities provide rehabilitative, restorative, skilled
nursing and medical treatment for patients and residents who do not require
the high-technology, care-intensive, high-cost setting of an acute-care or
rehabilitative hospital. Treatment programs include physical, occupational,
speech, respiratory and other therapeutic programs, including sub-acute
clinical protocols such as wound care and intravenous drug treatment.

Assisted Living Facilities

Assisted living facilities provide services to aid in everyday living, such
as bathing, routine or special meals, security, transportation, recreation,
medication supervision and limited therapeutic programs. More intensive
medical needs of the residents are often met within the Company's assisted
living facilities by home health providers, close coordination with the
individual's physician and skilled nursing facilities. Assisted living
facilities are increasingly successful as lower cost, less institutional
alternatives to the health problems of the elderly or medically frail.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities

Continuing care retirement communities provide a broad continuum of care. At
the most basic level, services are provided which aid in everyday living, much
like in an assisted living facility. At the other end of the spectrum, skilled
nursing, rehabilitation and medical treatment is provided to residents who
need those services. This type of facility offers residents the ability to
have the most independent lifestyle possible while providing a wide range of
social, health and nursing services tailored to meet individual needs.

Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly

Residential care facilities for the elderly offer similar services to an
assisted living facility, except they are provided in a residential home
setting. These facilities are generally three to four bedroom houses in
residential neighborhoods, which are slightly modified to enable adequate
access and care for the residents. There is generally one 24-hour caregiver at
each location to provide meals and assistance with activities such as bathing,
dressing, laundry and cleaning.

Rehabilitation Hospitals

Rehabilitation hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient medical care to
patients requiring high intensity physical, respiratory, neurological,
orthopedic and other treatment protocols and for intermediate periods in their

2


recovery. These programs are often the most effective in treating severe
skeletal or neurological injuries and traumatic diseases such as stroke or
acute arthritis.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company's
owned facilities as of December 31, 1998.

(1) Assisted living facilities are measured in units, continuing care
retirement communities are measured in beds and units and all other
facilities are measured by bed count.

(2) Annual Minimum Rent (as defined in the Leases) for each of the Company's
owned properties. Additional rent, generally contingent upon increases in
the facility net patient revenues in excess of a base amount or increases
in the Consumer Price Index, may also be paid. The 1998 additional rent
amounts reflect additional rent accrued in 1998.

As of December 31, 1998, 48 of the Company's 291 owned facilities were being
leased to and operated by subsidiaries of Beverly. Beverly has guaranteed
certain obligations of its subsidiaries and of certain parties unaffiliated
with Beverly in connection with 27 properties operated by such parties. For
additional financial information regarding Beverly, see Appendix 1 attached as
part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of December 31, 1998, 54 of the owned facilities are leased to and
operated by subsidiaries of Alternative Living Services, Inc.

Competition

The Company generally competes with other REITs, real estate partnerships,
health care providers and other investors, including, but not limited to,
banks and insurance companies, in the acquisition, leasing and financing of
health care facilities. The operators of the health care facilities compete on
a local and regional basis with operators of facilities that provide
comparable services. Operators compete for patients based on quality of care,
reputation, physical appearance of facilities, services offered, family
preferences, physicians, staff and price.

Regulation

Payments for health care services provided by the operators of the Company's
facilities are received principally from four sources: private funds;
Medicaid, a medical assistance program for the indigent, operated by
individual states with the financial participation of the federal government;
Medicare, a federal health insurance program for the aged and certain
chronically disabled individuals; and health and other insurance plans.
Government revenue sources, particularly Medicaid programs, are subject to
statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, and government
funding restrictions, all of which may materially increase or decrease the
rates of payment to nursing facilities and the amount of additional rents
payable to the Company under the Leases. Effective for cost reporting years
beginning after July 1, 1998, the payment methodology for nursing homes under
the Medicare program has been changed. Under the new methodology, Medicare
will reimburse nursing home operators for nursing care, ancillary services and
capital costs at a flat per diem rate. In the past, a cost-based system of
reimbursement was used. This new reimbursement methodology is being phased in
over four years. There is no assurance that payments under such programs will
remain at levels comparable to the present levels or be sufficient to cover
all the operating and fixed costs allocable to Medicaid and Medicare patients.
Any changes in reimbursement levels could have an adverse impact on the
revenues of the operators of the Company's facilities, which could in turn
adversely impact their abilities to make their monthly lease or debt payments
to the Company.

Health care facilities in which the Company invests are also generally
subject to state licensure statutes and regulations and statutes which may
require regulatory approval, in the form of a certificate of need ("CON"),
prior to the addition or construction of new beds, the addition of services or
certain capital expenditures. CON requirements generally do not apply to
assisted living facilities. CON requirements are not uniform throughout the
United States and are subject to change. The Company cannot predict the impact
of regulatory changes with respect to licensure and CON's on the operations of
the Company's lessees and mortgagees.

(1) For per share purposes, income from continuing operations is defined as
income before the effect of any gains or losses on sales of properties.
(2) Industry analysts generally consider funds from operations to be an
alternative measure of the performance of an equity REIT. The Company
therefore discloses funds from operations, although it is a measurement
that is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles. The
Company uses the NAREIT measure of funds from operations, which is
generally defined as income before extraordinary items plus certain non-
cash items, primarily real estate depreciation, less gains on sales of
facilities. The NAREIT measure may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other REITs. Consequently, the Company's funds from
operations may not provide a meaningful measure of the Company's
performance as compared to that of other REITs. Funds from operations
does not represent cash generated from operating activities as defined by
generally accepted accounting principles (funds from operations does not
include changes in operating assets and liabilities) and, therefore,
should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary
indicator of operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of
liquidity.

Statement Regarding Forward Looking Disclosure

Certain information contained in this report includes forward looking
statements, which can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology
such as "may", "will", "expect", "should" or comparable terms or the negative
thereof. 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

government regulations, including changes in Medicare and Medicaid payment
levels, changes in the healthcare industry, the amount of any additional
investments, access to capital markets and changes in the ratings of the
Company's debt securities.

Operating Results

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

Minimum rent increased $24,618,000 or 31% in 1998 as compared to 1997. The
increase was primarily due to minimum rent resulting from investments in 57
net additional leased facilities in 1998, combined with a full year of
revenues earned by investments in additional facilities in 1997. Interest and
other income increased by $405,000 or 2% in 1998 as compared to 1997. The
increase was primarily due to the increase in mortgage loans during 1998.
Additional rent and additional interest increased by $1,856,000 or 14% in 1998
as compared to 1997. The increase was attributable to increased additional
rent and additional interest as provided in the Company's existing leases and
mortgage loans receivable based on increases in the facility revenues or the
Consumer Price Index.

Interest and amortization of deferred financing costs increased $8,632,000
or 30% in 1998 as compared to 1997. The increase was primarily due to the
issuance of $190,150,000 in medium-term notes during 1998 and a full year of
interest expense related to the issuance of $165,000,000 of medium-term notes
in 1997. Depreciation and non-cash charges increased $8,151,000 or 41% in 1998
as compared to 1997. The increase was attributable to increased depreciation
due to the acquisition of additional facilities in 1998 and a full year of
depreciation related to facilities acquired in 1997. General and
administrative costs increased $657,000 or 16% in 1998 as compared to 1997.
The increase was due in part to adding two additional employees, increased
wages and increases in other general expenses. The impairment of long-lived
assets was due to recording a provision of $5,000,000 as a reduction in the
carrying amount of the Company's investment in three medical clinics that were
leased to a company that has declared bankruptcy.

The Company expects increased rental revenues and interest income due to the
addition of facilities to its property base and mortgage loans receivable over
the last twelve months. The Company also expects increased additional rent and
additional interest because the Company's leases and mortgages generally
contain provisions under which additional rents or interest income increase
with increases in facility revenues and/or increases in the Consumer Price
Index. Historically, revenues at the Company's facilities and the Consumer
Price Index generally have increased; although, there are no assurances that
they will continue to increase in the future. Sales of facilities or
repayments of mortgages would serve to offset the aforementioned revenue
increases. Additional investments in health care facilities would also
increase rental and/or interest income. As additional investments in
facilities are made, depreciation and/or interest expense could also increase.
Any such increases, however, are expected to be at least partially offset by
rents or interest income associated with the investments.

Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996

Revenues increased $19,929,000 or 21% in 1997 as compared to 1996. The
increase was primarily due to increased minimum rent and interest income
resulting from investments in 60 net additional facilities in 1997, combined
with a full year of revenues earned by investments in additional facilities in
1996. The increase was also attributable to increased additional rent and
additional interest as provided in the Company's existing leases and mortgage
loans receivable based on increases in the facility revenues or the Consumer
Price Index.

10


Total expenses increased $11,885,000 or 29% in 1997 as compared to 1996. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in interest expense due to the
issuance of $165,000,000 in medium-term notes during 1997 and the issuance of
$90,000,000 in medium-term notes in 1996. The increase in total expenses was
also attributable to increased depreciation due to the acquisition of
additional facilities in 1997 and 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During 1998, the Company acquired 17 skilled nursing facilities, 16 assisted
living facilities, 2 continuing care retirement communities and 9 residential
care facilities for the elderly in 26 separate transactions for an aggregate
investment of approximately $123,840,000. During 1998, the Company provided
new construction financing of approximately $143,853,000. Construction of 1
skilled nursing facility, 11 assisted living facilities, 1 continuing care
retirement community and 2 clinics was completed in 1998, in which the
Company's total aggregate investment was $103,155,000; $57,179,000 of this
amount was a current year investment included in the new construction
financing amount above. Upon acquisition or completion of construction, as
applicable, the facilities were concurrently leased under terms generally
similar to the Company's existing leases. The Company also funded
approximately $19,715,000 in capital improvements in accordance with certain
existing lease provisions. Such capital improvements will result in an
increase in the minimum rents earned by the Company on these facilities. The
acquisitions, construction advances and capital improvements were funded by
bank borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit and cash on hand. The
acquisitions were also funded by approximately $4,137,000 of debt assumption
and the issuance of 201,190 shares of the Company's common stock.

During 1998, the Company provided 3 mortgage loans secured by 1 skilled
nursing facility and 2 assisted living facilities in the aggregate amount of
$11,615,000. Such mortgages were funded by bank borrowings on the Company's
bank line of credit and cash on hand. In addition, the Company funded an
additional $7,096,000 on existing mortgage loans. Such additional amounts
funded will result in an increase in interest income earned by the Company on
these loans. The additional amounts funded were financed by borrowings on the
Company's bank line of credit and by cash on hand.

During 1998, the Company sold 2 skilled nursing facilities in 2 separate
transactions for an aggregate price of approximately $5,512,000, less
transaction costs, resulting in an aggregate gain of approximately $2,321,000.
The proceeds of the sales were used to repay borrowings on the Company's bank
line of credit.

During 1998, 2 of the Company's mortgage loans, each secured by a skilled
nursing facility, matured and were repaid in full in an aggregate principal
amount of approximately $5,382,000. During the same period, another mortgage
loan with a principal balance of approximately $2,150,000, secured by two
skilled nursing facilities, was also repaid in full. The proceeds were used to
repay borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit.

During 1998, the Company issued $190,150,000 in aggregate principal amount
of medium-term notes. The notes bear fixed interest at a weighted average
interest rate of 7.2% and have a weighted average maturity of 18.2 years. The
proceeds were used to repay borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit.

At December 31, 1998, the Company had $58,000,000 available under its
$100,000,000 bank line of credit. The Company also had effective shelf
registrations on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which
the Company may issue (a) up to $54,850,000 in aggregate principal amount of
medium-term notes and (b) up to $178,247,000 of securities including debt,
convertible debt, common and preferred stock. The Company anticipates issuing
securities under such shelf registrations to repay borrowings under the
Company's bank line of credit, for the financing of additional investments and
for general corporate purposes.

On April 29, 1998, the Company issued 1,048,128 shares of common stock
resulting in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $23,214,000 before
expenses related to the offering. On September 25, 1998, the Company issued
1,500,000 shares of common stock resulting in aggregate net proceeds of
approximately

11


$30,000,000 before expenses related to the offering. The net proceeds from the
offerings were used to repay borrowings under the Company's bank line of
credit.

At December 31, 1998, the Company had $57,431,000 of convertible debentures
due January 1, 1999 outstanding. Subsequent to year end, $8,000 of such
debentures were converted into 356 shares of common stock and the remaining
debentures, totaling $57,423,000, were repaid. The repayment was funded by
bank borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit and cash on hand.

The Company anticipates making additional investments in health care related
facilities. Financing for such future investments may be provided by
borrowings under the Company's bank line, private placements or public
offerings of debt or equity, and the assumption of secured indebtedness. The
Company believes it has sufficient liquidity and financing capability to
finance future investments as well as repay borrowings at or prior to their
maturity.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

All statements contained in the following section are "Year 2000 Readiness
Disclosures" within the meaning of the Year 2000 Information and Disclosure
Act.

The Year 2000 issue (the "Year 2000 Issue") in computers arises from the
common industry practice of using two digits to represent a date in computer
software code and databases to enhance both processing time and save storage
space. Therefore, when dates in the year 2000 and beyond are indicated and
computer programs read the date "00," the computer may default to the year
"1900" rather than the correct "2000." This could result in incorrect
calculations, faulty data and computer shutdowns, which would cause
disruptions of operations.

The Company is reviewing the risks of the Year 2000 Issue with regard to the
Company's own internal operations, information systems and software
applications and the impact on the Company of its outside vendors', lessees'
and borrowers' ability to operate. The Company believes its own internal
operations, information systems and software applications are likely to be
compliant or will be compliant by mid-1999 based upon reasonable assurance by
vendors and the Company's information systems consultant. The Company's
computer information system currently consists of 16 personal computers and 1
network server. The Company anticipates replacing its entire computer system
during the first half of 1999 to enable it to upgrade its accounting software
unrelated to the Year 2000 Issue. The cost to remediate the Year 2000 Issues
with regard to the Company's internal operations, information systems and
software applications is not believed to be material.

The Company's vendors that provide banking, communications and payroll
services and the Company's lessees and borrowers will also likely be affected
by the Year 2000 Issue. If the Company's vendors, lessees and borrowers are
not Year 2000 compliant, or if they face disruptions in their operations or
cash flows due to Year 2000 Issues, the Company could face significant
temporary disruptions in rent and mortgage payments and, therefore, cash flows
after that date.

The Company's lessees and borrowers generally rely extensively on
information systems, including systems for capturing patient and cost
information and for billing and collection of reimbursement for health care
services provided. Furthermore, the Company's lessees and borrowers likewise
are dependent on a variety of third parties, including, but not limited to,
Medicare and Medicaid programs, insurance companies, HMO's and other private
payors, governmental agencies, fiscal intermediaries that process claims and
make payments for the Medicare and Medicaid programs, utilities that provide
electricity, water, natural gas and communications services, and vendors of
medical supplies and pharmaceuticals used in patient care, all of whom must
also adequately address the Year 2000 Issue. The Company is currently
reviewing publicly filed information of its lessees, borrowers and vendors
regarding their state of readiness with respect to identifying and remediating
their Year 2000 Issues. In January of 1999, the Company began sending
questionnaires to and/or contacting its lessees, borrowers and vendors
regarding their state of readiness with respect to identifying and remediating
their Year 2000 Issues. The Company plans to complete the assessment by mid-
1999. However, it is not possible for the Company to determine or be assured
that adequate remediation of the Year 2000 Issue will be accomplished by such
lessees,

12


borrowers and vendors. Furthermore, it is not possible for the Company to
determine or be assured that third parties upon which the Company's lessees,
borrowers and vendors are dependent, will accomplish adequate remediation of
their Year 2000 Issues.

The Company will also have risks associated with Year 2000 Issues in non-
information technology areas as it relates to owned properties. There is a
risk that embedded chips in elevators, security systems, electrical systems
and similar technology-driven devices may stop functioning due to Year 2000
Issues. Substantially all of the Company's owned properties are leased under
triple-net leases and as such, the cost to remediate any of these items will
be paid by the lessees.

Based on currently available information, the Company believes that the
impact of the Year 2000 Issue, as it relates to its internal operations,
information systems and software applications will not be material. However,
there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 Issues of its vendors, lessees,
borrowers and third parties upon which they are dependent will not have a
material impact on the future operations and/or financial results of the
Company.

Readers are cautioned that most of the statements contained in the "Year
2000 Readiness Disclosure" paragraphs are forward looking and should be read
in conjunction with the Company's disclosures under the heading "Statement
Regarding Forward Looking Disclosure" set forth above.

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income in 1998. This Statement requires that
all items that meet the definition of components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial statement for the period in which they are recognized.
Components of comprehensive income include revenues, expenses, gains and
losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in
comprehensive income but excluded from net income. There are no differences
between the Company's net income, as reported, and comprehensive income, as
defined, for the periods presented, or as of December 31, 1998.

The Company has also adopted SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information in 1998. The Company believes it operates
in only one business segment.

Issue No. 97-11 Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate
Property Acquisitions released by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board which prohibits the capitalization of
internal costs related to the acquisition of operating property was issued
during the first quarter of 1998. The impact of this pronouncement is
immaterial to the Company's financial statements.

Market Risk Exposure

The Company is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest
rates on its mortgage loans receivable and debt. The Company does not utilize
interest rate swaps, forward or option contracts on foreign currencies or
commodities, or other types of derivative financial instruments. The purpose
of the following analyses is to provide a framework to understand the
Company's sensitivity to hypothetical changes in interest rates as of December
31, 1998. Readers are cautioned that many of the statements contained in the
"Market Risk Exposure" paragraphs are forward looking and should be read in
conjunction with the Company's disclosures under the heading "Statement
Regarding Forward Looking Disclosure" set forth above.

The Company provides mortgage loans to operators of healthcare facilities as
part of its normal operations. The majority of the loans have fixed rates.
Four of the mortgage loans have adjustable rates, however, the rates adjust
only once or twice over the loan lives and the minimum adjusted rate is equal
to the current rate. Therefore, all mortgage loans receivable are treated as
fixed rate notes in the table and analysis below.

The Company utilizes debt financing primarily for the purpose of making
additional investments in healthcare facilities. Historically, the Company has
made short-term borrowings on its bank line of credit to fund

13


its acquisitions until market conditions were appropriate, based on
management's judgment, to issue stock or fixed rate debt to provide long-term
financing. The Company holds variable rate debt in the form of housing revenue
bonds, which were assumed in connection with certain healthcare facility
acquisitions because of the favorable interest rates, which in turn provided
favorable lease rates to the sellers/lessees. Pursuant to the associated lease
arrangements, increases or decreases in the interest rates on the housing
revenue bonds would be substantially offset by increases or decreases in the
associated rent received by the Company on the properties securing this debt.
Therefore, there is substantially no market risk associated with the Company's
variable rate debt.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair
market value, but not 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. The Company generally cannot
prepay fixed rate debt prior to maturity, therefore, interest rate risk and
changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on the fixed
rate debt until the Company would be required to refinance such debt. 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 coming
year of approximately $544,000.

The table below details the principal amount and the average interest rates
for the mortgage loans receivable and debt for each category based on the
final maturity dates. Certain of the mortgage loans receivable and certain
items in the various categories of debt, excluding the convertible debentures,
require periodic principal payments prior to the final maturity date. The fair
value estimates for the mortgage loans receivable are based on the estimates
of management and on rates currently prevailing for comparable loans. The fair
market value estimates for debt securities are based on discounting future
cash flows utilizing current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same
type and remaining maturity.

NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996

1. Organization

Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on
October 14, 1985 in the State of Maryland. The Company operates as a real
estate investment trust specializing in investments in health care related
properties and as of December 31, 1998 had investments in 346 health care
facilities, including 203 skilled nursing facilities, 107 assisted living
facilities, 14 continuing care retirement communities, 17 residential care
facilities for the elderly, 2 rehabilitation hospitals and 3 medical clinics.
At December 31, 1998, the Company owned 161 skilled nursing facilities, 99
assisted living facilities, 9 continuing care retirement communities, 17
residential care facilities for the elderly, 2 rehabilitation hospitals and 3
medical clinics. The Company also held 33 mortgage loans secured by 42 skilled
nursing facilities, 8 assisted living facilities and 5 continuing care
retirement communities. In addition, at December 31, 1998, the Company had 26
assisted living facilities under construction. The Company has no foreign
facilities or operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the 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.

Stock Split

On January 19, 1996, the Board of Directors of Nationwide Health Properties,
Inc. authorized a two-for-one split of the Company's common stock effective on
March 8, 1996. The financial statements included herein have been restated to
reflect the stock split.

Land, Buildings and Improvements

The Company records properties at cost and uses the straight-line method of
depreciation for buildings and improvements over their estimated remaining
useful lives of up to 40 years. The Company provides accelerated depreciation
on certain of its investments based primarily on an estimation of net
realizable value of such investments at the end of the primary lease terms.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested in money market mutual
funds, commercial paper and repurchase agreements with original maturities of
three months or less. Such investments are deemed to be cash equivalents for
purposes of presentation in the financial statements.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856
through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company
intends to continue to qualify as such and therefore to distribute at least
95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income to its stockholders.
Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to Federal income taxes on its
income which is distributed to stockholders. Therefore, no provisions for
Federal income taxes have been made in the Company's financial statements. The
net difference in the tax basis and the reported amounts of the Company's
assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1998 is approximately $2,829,000.

NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


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. There are no step rent provisions in any of the lease agreements.
Additional rent is 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 is generally calculated and payable
monthly or quarterly. Interest income on real estate mortgages is recognized
using the effective interest method based upon the expected payments over the
lives of the mortgages.

Use of Estimates

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.

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income in 1998. This Statement requires that
all items that meet the definition of components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial statement for the period in which they are recognized.
Components of comprehensive income include revenues, expenses, gains and
losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in
comprehensive income but excluded from net income. There are no differences
between the Company's net income, as reported, and comprehensive income, as
defined, for the periods presented, or as of December 31, 1998.

The Company has also adopted SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information in 1998. The Company believes it operates
in only one business segment.

Issue No. 97-11 Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate
Property Acquisitions released by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board which prohibits the capitalization of
internal costs related to the acquisition of operating property was issued
during the first quarter of 1998. The impact of this pronouncement is
immaterial to the Company's financial statements.

3. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Income available to common stockholders is calculated by deducting dividends
declared on preferred stock from income from continuing operations and net
income. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of the potential shares
outstanding; dilutive stock options and dilutive convertible debentures. The
convertible debentures were not dilutive in 1998, 1997 or 1996. The table
below details the components of the basic and diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations calculations.

4. Real Estate Properties

Substantially all of the Company's owned facilities are leased under "net"
leases which are accounted for as operating leases. The leases have initial
terms ranging from 9 to 19 years, and generally the leases have two or more
multiple-year renewal options. The Company earns fixed monthly minimum rents
and may earn periodic additional rents. The additional rent payments 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 rents are generally calculated and payable monthly or
quarterly. Most leases contain provisions such that the total rent cannot
decrease from one year to the next. Certain of the leases contain provisions
such that the percentage of further revenue increases due to the Company as
additional rent is limited to 1% at such time as additional rent exceeds 41%
of minimum rent. Most 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 the leases have
corporate guarantees, and leases covering 194 facilities are backed by
irrevocable letters of credit or security deposits that cover 2 to 12 months
of monthly minimum rents. Under the terms of the leases, the lessee is
responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased
properties.

Minimum future rentals on non-cancelable leases as of December 31, 1998 are
as follows:

Thereafter...... $128,934


During 1998, the Company acquired 17 skilled nursing facilities, 16 assisted
living facilities, 2 continuing care retirement communities and 9 residential
care facilities for the elderly in 26 separate transactions for an aggregate
investment of approximately $123,840,000. During 1998, the Company provided
new construction financing of approximately $143,853,000. Construction of 1
skilled nursing facility, 11 assisted living facilities, 1 continuing care
retirement community and 2 clinics was completed in 1998, in which the
Company's total aggregate investment was $103,155,000; $57,179,000 of this
amount was a current year investment included in the new construction
financing amount above. Upon acquisition or completion of construction, as
applicable, the facilities were concurrently leased under terms generally
similar to the Company's existing leases. The Company also funded
approximately $19,715,000 in capital improvements in accordance with certain
existing lease provisions. Such capital improvements will result in an
increase in the minimum rents earned by the Company on these facilities. The
acquisitions, construction advances and capital improvements were funded by
bank borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit and cash on hand. The
acquisitions were also funded by approximately $4,137,000 of debt assumption
and the issuance of 201,190 shares of the Company's common stock.

During 1998, the Company sold two skilled nursing facilities in two separate
transactions for an aggregate price of approximately $5,512,000, less
transaction costs, resulting in an aggregate gain of approximately $2,321,000.
The proceeds of the sales were used to repay borrowings on the Company's bank
line of credit.

5. Mortgage Loans Receivable

During 1998, the Company provided three mortgage loans secured by 1 skilled
nursing facility and 2 assisted living facilities in the aggregate amount of
$11,615,000. In addition, the Company funded an additional $7,096,000 on
existing mortgage loans. Such additional amounts funded will result in an
increase in interest income earned by the Company. Additionally, 2 of the
Company's mortgage loans, each secured by a skilled nursing facility, matured
and were repaid in full in an aggregate principal amount of approximately
$5,382,000. During the same period, another mortgage loan with a principal

loans receivable secured by 42 skilled nursing facilities, 8 assisted living
facilities and 5 continuing care retirement communities. The loans have an
aggregate principal balance of approximately $214,765,000 and are reflected in
the Company's financial statements net of an aggregate discount of
approximately $8,152,000. The principal balances of mortgage loans receivable
as of December 31, 1998 mature approximately as follows: $2,653,000 in 1999,
$2,324,000 in 2000, $2,586,000 in 2001, $2,784,000 in 2002, $6,156,000 in 2003

(1) Most loans require monthly principal and interest payments at level
amounts over life to maturity. Some loans are adjustable rate mortgages
with varying principal and interest payments over life to maturity, in
which case the balloon payments reflected are an estimate. Five of the
loans have decreasing principal and interest payments over the life of the
loans. Most loans require a prepayment penalty based on a percentage of
principal outstanding or a penalty based upon a calculation maintaining
the yield the Company would have earned if prepayment had not occurred.
Seven loans have a provision that no prepayments are acceptable.

9. Convertible Debentures

During 1993, the Company issued $65,000,000 of 6.25% unsecured convertible
debentures due January 1, 1999. The debentures are convertible at any time
prior to maturity into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion

27


NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

1997 at the rate of 7.677% per annum of the liquidation preference per share
(equivalent to $7.677 per annum per share) through September 30, 2012 and at a
rate of 9.677% of the liquidation preference per annum per share (equivalent
to $9.677 per annum per share) thereafter. The Preferred Stock is not
redeemable prior to September 30, 2007. On or after September 30, 2007, the
Preferred Stock may be redeemed for cash at the option of the Company, in
whole or in part, at a redemption price of $100 per share, plus accrued and
unpaid dividends, if any, thereon.

11. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Under the terms of a stock incentive plan (the "Plan"), the Company has
reserved for issuance 1,600,000 shares of common stock. Under the Plan, as
amended, the Company may issue stock options, restricted stock, dividend
equivalents and stock appreciation rights. The Company accounts for the Plan
under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees. Had compensation cost for the Plan been determined consistent
with SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's net
income and net income per share in 1998, 1997 and 1996 would have been the
following pro forma amounts:



1998 1997 1996
----------- ----------- -----------

Net income available to common
stockholders:
As reported......................... $62,071,000 $61,855,000 $54,944,000
Pro forma........................... 61,840,000 61,712,000 54,867,000
Basic/diluted net income per share:
As reported......................... $ 1.39 $ 1.47 $ 1.36
Pro forma........................... 1.39 1.46 1.36


Because the pro forma calculation reflects only amounts attributable to
options granted since January 1, 1995, future pro forma affects may not be
comparable to those above. A summary of the status of the Plan at December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996 and changes during the years then ended are as follows:

NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Stock options granted under the Plan become exercisable each year following
the date of grant in annual increments of one-third and are exercisable at the
market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Options at
December 31, 1998 have a weighted average contractual life of 8 years.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions:



1998 1997 1996
----- ----- -----

Risk free rate of return.......... 6.30% 6.30% 6.43%
Dividend yield.................... 6.43% 6.78% 7.13%
Option Term....................... 10 10 10
Volatility........................ 16.45% 16.45% 22.78%


The restricted stock awards are granted at no cost. Restricted stock awards
vest at the third anniversary of the award date with respect to non-employee
directors and at the fifth anniversary with respect to officers and employees.
The restricted stock awards are amortized over their respective vesting
periods. Expense is determined based upon the market value at the date of
award of the restricted stock and is recognized over the vesting period.
Expense recorded in 1998, 1997 and 1996 related to restricted stock awards was
approximately $440,000, $368,000 and $372,000, respectively.

Awards of dividend equivalents accompany the 1998, 1997 and 1996 stock
option grants on a one-for-one basis. Such dividend equivalents are payable in
cash until such time as the corresponding stock option is exercised, based
upon a formula approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. That formula depends on the Company's performance measured for a
minimum of a three-year period and up to a five-year period by total return to
stockholders (increase in stock price and dividends paid) compared to peer
companies and other companies comprising a general index of real estate
investment trusts, in each case as selected by the Compensation Committee.
Dividend equivalents may be earned in all or part depending upon the actual
total return to shareholders as compared to peer groups of other real estate
investment trusts. Due to the uncertainty of the ultimate payment of dividend
equivalents, no compensation expense was recorded during 1997 or 1996 with
respect to dividend equivalents. During 1998, compensation expense in the
amount of $210,000 was recorded related to the 1996 awards.

No stock appreciation rights have been issued under the Plan.

12. Pension Plan

During 1991, the Company adopted an unfunded benefit pension plan covering
the current non-employee members of its Board of Directors upon completion of
five years of service on the Board. The benefits, limited to the number of
years of service on the Board, are based upon the then current annual retainer
in effect.

The following tables set forth the amounts recognized in the Company's
financial statements at December 31, 1998 and 1997:



1998 1997
-------- --------

Actuarial present value of benefit obligations:
Vested benefit obligation.............................. $723,000 $789,000
======== ========
Accumulated benefit obligation......................... $730,000 $834,000

Projected benefit obligation............................. $814,000 $887,000
Unrecognized prior service cost.......................... (74,000) (101,000)
Unrecognized net gain.................................... 163,000 10,000
-------- --------
Accrued pension cost..................................... $903,000 $796,000
======== ========

NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Net pension cost for the year included the following components:



1998 1997 1996
-------- -------- --------

Current service cost........................... $ 43,000 $ 47,000 $ 87,000
Interest cost.................................. 61,000 58,000 53,000
Amortization of prior service cost............. 27,000 27,000 27,000
-------- -------- --------
Net periodic pension cost...................... $131,000 $132,000 $167,000
======== ======== ========


Discount rates of 7.0%, 7.5% and 7.0% in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively
and a 5.0% increase in the annual retainer every other year were used in
determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation.

13. Transactions with Beverly Enterprises, Inc. and Alternative Living
Services, Inc.

As of December 31, 1998, 48 of the owned facilities are leased to and
operated by subsidiaries of Beverly Enterprises, Inc. ("Beverly"). Beverly has
guaranteed certain obligations of its subsidiaries and of certain parties
unaffiliated with Beverly in connection with 27 properties operated by such
parties. Additionally, Beverly is the borrower on four of the Company's
mortgage loans. Revenues from Beverly were approximately $21,161,000,
$19,712,000 and $21,837,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

As of December 31, 1998, 54 of the owned facilities are leased to and
operated by subsidiaries of Alternative Living Services, Inc. ("ALS").
Additionally, ALS is the borrower on one of the Company's mortgage loans.
Revenues from ALS were approximately $17,114,000, $10,274,000 and $6,292,000
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

One of the directors of the Company is also an officer and director of
Beverly.

14. Impairment of Long-lived Assets

During 1998, the Company recorded a provision of $5,000,000 as a reduction
in the value of the Company's investment in three medical clinics constructed
for and leased to a company that declared bankruptcy. The Company is currently
in the process of finding another party to whom it may lease or sell these
facilities. The fair value of the medical clinics was determined based on
discounted estimated future cash flows.

15. Dividends

Dividend payments by the Company to the common stockholders were
characterized in the following manner for tax purposes:



1998 1997 1996

17. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
those instruments.

Mortgage Loans Receivable

Fair values are based upon the estimates of management and on rates
currently prevailing for comparable loans.

Long-Term Debt

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on discounting future
cash flows utilizing current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same
type and remaining maturity.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as
follows:



1997 1996
