EXPLANATORY NOTE

Care Investment Trust Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 5, 2012, (the “Original Report”) to include the consolidated financial statements of Bickford Master I, LLC (the “Master Lessee”), the tenant of our Bickford portfolio. Since the Bickford portfolio constitutes a significant portion of our total assets, the Master Lessee is considered a “significant lessee” and, as a result, we are required to include its audited financial statements in our Form 10-K, which financial statements were not available at time of filing of the Original Report. The audited financial statements of Master Lessee for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1. These financial statements were provided to us by the Master Lessee and the Company did not participate in their preparation or review.

This Amendment No. 1 to the Original Report is being filed solely to include: (1) the audited consolidated financial statements of the Master Lessee filed as Exhibit 99.1; (2) the consents from the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms and Independent Auditors filed as Exhibits 23.1, 23.2 and 23.3; (3) the certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2; and (4) the certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 filed as Exhibits 32.1 and 32.2.

Part IV, Item 15 is the only portion of the Original Report being supplemented or amended by this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Report. Except as described above, this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Report does not amend, update or change the financial statements or any other items or disclosures contained in the Original Report and does not otherwise reflect events occurring after the original filing date of the Original Report. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Report should be read in conjunction with the Original Report and the Company’s filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Report.
