We continue to see attractive investment opportunities in the long-term care market and are confident that the company will meet its goal of $100-125 million of new investments in the second half of 2001."

The company had a total outstanding debt balance of $416 million at September 30, 2001, down from $439 million in third quarter 2000, and shareholders' equity of $763 million, which represents a debt to total capitalization ratio of 35 percent. The company's coverage ratio of EBITDA to interest was 3.66 to 1.0 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2001.

New Facility Investments. The company's investment activity for the quarter totaled $39.3 million, including the acquisition of seven assisted living facilities, with a total of 390 beds, located in three states and leased to two operators.

Portfolio Update. The portfolio results met the company's expectations. The seasoning of the assisted living portfolio is on target. The company ended the second quarter with 24 assisted living facilities remaining in fill-up representing less than 19 percent of revenues. Only three assisted living facilities have occupancy less than 50 percent.

Outlook for 2001 and 2002. The company previously announced FFO guidance of $0.64 to $0.65 per diluted share per quarter for 2001. With the recent debt offering and the previous equity offering, the company believes FFO will be $0.62 to $0.63 in fourth quarter 2001 and $0.64 to $0.65 in first quarter 2002.
