Other Highlights:

During July 2010, we repaid one of our United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, insured mortgage notes, with a principal balance of $4.5 million. As a result, we recorded a $134,000 prepayment penalty.

During July 2010, at our request, our landlord Senior Housing Properties Trust, or SNH, sold four skilled nursing facilities located in Nebraska with aggregate 196 living units that we leased from SNH and our rent to SNH decreased by approximately $145,000 per year.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we purchased and retired $8.6 million par value of our outstanding convertible senior notes due in 2026 for $7.8 million, plus accrued interest, and recorded a $618,000 gain, net of related unamortized costs, on this early extinguishment of debt. This gain was partially offset by the $134,000 related to the penalty to prepay the HUD insured mortgage note.

On August 2, 2010, we commenced operations at a continuing care retirement community with a total of 110 independent, assisted living and skilled nursing units that we acquired from an unrelated party.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(in thousands, except per share data)

The reconciliation of income from continuing operations to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and EBITDA excluding certain items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 is below. EBITDA and EBITDA excluding certain items are not financial measures determined according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. We consider EBITDA and EBITDA excluding certain items to be a meaningful disclosure because we believe that the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures may help investors to gain a better understanding of changes in our core operating results, and may also help investors who wish to make comparisons between us and other companies on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis. EBITDA and EBITDA excluding certain items as presented may not, however, always be comparable to amounts calculated by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to evaluate financial performance and resource allocation for our communities and for us as a whole and for comparing such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. This information should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other financial operating or performance measure established by GAAP.
