THE COMPANY
The Company is the largest dedicated health care real estate investment
trust ("REIT") in the United States, based on its gross real estate investments
of approximately $1.4 billion as of June 30, 1994. The objective of the Company
is to enable shareholders to participate in the investment in health care
related facilities held primarily for the production of cash flows to be
distributed to shareholders. In meeting this objective, the Company invests in
high quality facilities that are managed by experienced operators and attempts
to achieve diversity in its property portfolio by sector of the health care
industry, geographic location, operator and form of investment.
As of June 30, 1994, the Company had investments in 233 facilities,
consisting of 193 long-term care facilities, 23 rehabilitation hospitals, five
medical office buildings, two alcohol and substance abuse facilities, six
psychiatric hospitals and four retirement facilities. The properties are located
in 34 different states and are operated by 30 health care companies. Of the 30
different operators, six are publicly-traded companies (i.e., Sun Healthcare
Group, Inc., Continental Medical Systems, Inc., Geriatric and Medical Centers,
Inc., Integrated Health Services, Inc., Mariner Health Group, Inc. and NovaCare,
Inc.), and constitute over 50% of the Company's real estate investments.
The Company's real estate investments are either owned by the Company or
secured by a mortgage lien. As of June 30, 1994, permanent mortgage loans
constituted 53%, sale/leaseback transactions constituted 44% and development
mortgage financing constituted 3% of the Company's portfolio as measured by
gross real estate investments. The leases and mortgages provide for rental or
interest rates which generally range from 10% to 13% per annum of the
acquisition price or mortgage amount. The leases and mortgages generally provide
for an initial term of 10 years, with the leases having one or more five-year
renewal options. The leases and mortgages also provide for additional rent and
interest which are generally based upon a percentage of increased revenues over
specific base period revenues of the related properties. For the year ended
December 31, 1993, the aggregate amount of additional rent and interest was $8.7
million compared to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1992.
In addition, the Company usually obtains guarantees from the parent
corporation, if any, of the operator or affiliates or individual principals of
the operator. Most obligations are backed by letters of credit, security
deposits or pledges of certificates of deposit which cover from three to twelve
months of lease or mortgage payments. In addition, permanent mortgage and
development mortgage loans generally are cross-collateralized with any other
mortgage and development loans, leases or other agreements between the Company
and the same operator or any affiliated operators. Leases and mortgage loans
generally are cross-defaulted with any other leases or mortgages between the
Company and the same operator or any affiliated operators. With respect to
development mortgage loans, the Company generally requires guaranteed maximum
price construction contracts, performance completion bonds or guarantees and
cost overrun guarantees. The Company enters into a development mortgage loan
only when the Company will also be the permanent owner or mortgage lender. In
making its investment decisions, the Company reviews, among other criteria, the
operational viability of the facility, the experience and competency of the
operator and the financial strength of the guarantor.
The Company's principal executive offices are located at 197 First Avenue,
Needham Heights, Massachusetts 02194, and its telephone number is (617)
433-6000.

United Kingdom other than to persons whose ordinary business is to buy or sell

DISTRIBUTIONS
The Company's policy is to make cash distributions on its Shares on a
quarterly basis. Since its organization in 1985, the Company has made regular
and uninterrupted distributions which have never been reduced or omitted.
Distributions have been increased in each of the 34 fiscal quarters since the
Company's inception.
The dividends of the Company are based upon cash flow (i.e., net cash
provided by operating activities). As a result of noncash expenses, primarily
depreciation and amortization, cash flow and cash distributions have exceeded
the Company's earnings and profits. Portions of the distributions which were not
attributable to earnings and profits represent a return of capital and are not
subject to federal income tax to the extent they do not exceed the shareholder's
basis in his shares. The Company made cash distributions aggregating $2.54 per
Share in 1993, 14.9% of which was considered a nontaxable return of capital and
5.3% of which was considered a long-term capital gain. The Company made cash
distributions aggregating $2.46 per share in 1992 and $2.38 per Share in 1991 of
which 30.3% and 30.6% were considered nontaxable returns of capital in 1992 and
1991, respectively.
The Company intends to distribute to its shareholders on a quarterly basis
a majority of cash flow from operating activities available for distribution.
Cash flow from operating activities available for distribution to shareholders
of the Company will be derived primarily from the rental payments and interest
payments derived from its real estate investments. All distributions will be
made by the Company at the discretion of the Board of Trustees and will depend
on the earnings of the Company, its financial condition and such other factors
as the Board of Trustees deem relevant. In order to qualify for the beneficial
tax treatment afforded to REITs by Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue
Code, the Company is required to make distributions to holders of its Shares
which annually will be at least 95% of the Company's "real estate investment
trust taxable income."
The first dividend that purchasers of the Shares offered hereby are
expected to participate in will relate to the fourth quarter of 1994. In prior
years, the dividend relating to the fourth fiscal quarter has typically been
paid in February of the following year.
OTHER MATTERS
In June 1994, the merger of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. and The Mediplex
Group, Inc. ("Mediplex") was completed. As of June 30, 1994, the merged entities
comprised approximately 27% of the Company's $1.4 billion portfolio of gross
real estate investments. As a condition of the Company's consent to this merger,
the financing for the merger was provided by newly raised funds from external
sources, including equity and unsecured convertible debt, all existing Mediplex
lease and mortgage terms were extended to between 2004 and 2008 and adjusted to
include annual rate escalators, investments in two alcohol and substance abuse
treatment facilities and one psychiatric hospital located in New York were
significantly reduced, and any active participation in the newly merged company
by Abraham D. Gosman was eliminated. As a result, management believes the newly
merged entity will continue to be a financially strong participant in the
Company's portfolio of operators.
