              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 1997
                                  (Unaudited)

  (i)   The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by the Company, without audit, and include all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September
30, 1997 and 1996 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. All of such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Although
the Company believes that the disclosures in such financial statements are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's
1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
for a full year.

  (ii)   Net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The effect of
common stock options is immaterial. The effect of convertible debentures in 1996
is anti-dilutive and in 1997 is immaterial.

  (iii)  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
ninety-five percent (95%) of its taxable income to its stockholders.
Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.

  (iv)   The Company invests in health care related real estate and, as of
September 30, 1997, had investments in 277 facilities, including 195 long-term
health care facilities, 69 assisted living facilities, 10 continuing care
retirement communities, two rehabilitation hospitals and one medical clinic.
The Company's facilities are operated by 61 different operators.

         The Company's facilities which are owned and leased under "net" leases
are accounted for as operating leases. The leases have initial terms ranging
from 10 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
and/or increases in the Consumer Price Index. The base amounts, in most cases,
are net patient revenues for the first year of the lease. 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 base rent. Under the terms of the leases, the lessee is
responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased
properties. Forty-one of the facilities were leased to and operated by
subsidiaries of Beverly Enterprises, Inc.

  (v)    During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company
acquired 21 assisted living facilities, nine long-term health care facilities,
four continuing care retirement communities and one medical clinic in 26
separate transactions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$204,048,000.  The acquisitions were funded by bank borrowings on the Company's
bank line of credit, approximately $39,739,000 of debt assumption, 1,315,686
shares of the Company's common stock and cash on hand.  The facilities were
concurrently leased under terms generally similar to the Company's existing
leases.  In addition, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 the
Company completed the development of one long-term health care facility and two

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
assisted living facilities for an aggregate cost of approximately $13,245,000,
provided new construction financing of approximately $23,619,000 and provided
capital improvement funding of approximately $11,932,000 in accordance with
certain existing lease agreements.

     During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company provided
six mortgage loans secured by five long-term health care facilities, three
assisted living facilities and two continuing care retirement communities in six
separate transactions in the aggregate amount of approximately $42,675,000.  The
loans were funded by bank borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit and
cash on hand.

     During June 1997, the Company sold two long-term health care facilities for
an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6,863,000.  The Company received a
mortgage note in the amount of the purchase price, which is secured by the two
facilities.  The related gain of approximately $1,676,000 on such sale will be
recognized into income on a deferred basis in proportion to the receipt of
principal payments on the mortgage loans provided by the Company.
 
     During August 1997, the Company sold one long-term health care facility to
the lessee of such facility pursuant to a purchase option provision in the
respective lease for a purchase price of approximately $4,829,000 resulting in a
gain of approximately $829,000. The proceeds of the sale were used to repay bank
borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company issued
$165,000,000 in medium-term notes.  The notes bear fixed interest at a weighted
average rate of 7.12% and have a weighted average maturity of 19 years.  The
proceeds were used to reduce borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit.
 
     In September 1997, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of 7.677% Series A
Cumulative Preferred Step-Up REIT securities ("Preferred Stock") with a
liquidation preference of $100 per share.  Dividends on the Preferred Stock are
cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly in arrears,
commencing December 31, 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.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                               September 30, 1997
Operating Results

  Nine Months 1997 Compared to Nine Months 1996

  Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased $12,261,000 or
17% over the same period in 1996.  The increase is due to increased minimum rent
and interest income resulting from additional investments in real estate
properties and mortgage loans receivable during the last twelve months.  The
increase was also attributable to increased additional rent and additional
interest earned under the Company's existing leases and mortgage loans
receivable based on increases in the facility revenues and the Consumer Price
Index.

  Total expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 increased
$6,922,000 or 23% over the same period in 1996.  The increase is due to
increased interest expense as a result of the issuance of fixed rate medium-term
notes during the last twelve months and to increased depreciation in connection
with the acquisition of additional facilities during the last twelve months.

  Third Quarter 1997 Compared to Third Quarter 1996

  Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997 increased $4,992,000 or
21% over the same period in 1996.  The increase is primarily due to increased
minimum rent and interest income resulting from investments in additional
facilities during the last twelve months.  The increase was also attributed to
increased additional rent and additional interest earned under the Company's
existing leases and mortgage loans receivable based on increases in the facility
revenues and Consumer Price Index.

  Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1997 increased
$3,734,000 or 38% over the same period in 1996.  The increase is primarily due
to increased interest expense as a result of the issuance of fixed rate medium
term notes during the last twelve months and to a lesser extent to increased
depreciation in connection with the acquisition of additional facilities during
the last twelve months.

  In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company
recognized a gain of approximately $829,000 from the sale of a long-term health
care facility.
 
  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 more than offset by rents or interest income associated with the
investments.

  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 Earnings per
Share and SFAS No. 129 Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure were
issued in February 1997 and are effective for periods ending after December 15,
1997.  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 128 and SFAS No. 129 for the period
ending December 31, 1997 and anticipates that such adoption will not materially
impact the Company's financial statements.  

                                       7

SFAS No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income and SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information were issued in June 1997. The
Company will adopt SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131 in 1998 and anticipates that
such adoption will not materially impact the Company's financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company acquired
21 assisted living facilities, nine long-term health care facilities, four
continuing care retirement communities and one medical clinic in 26 separate
transactions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $204,048,000.  The
acquisitions were funded by bank borrowings on the Company's bank line of
credit, approximately $39,739,000 of debt assumption, 1,315,686 shares of the
Company's common stock and cash on hand.  The facilities were concurrently
leased under terms generally similar to the Company's existing leases.

     In addition, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, the
Company provided new construction financing of approximately $23,619,000 for 15
assisted living facilities, three medical clinics and one long-term care
facility.  During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, three
properties completed the construction phase of the Company's investment process.
The facilities were completed in three separate transactions for a total
investment of $13,245,000 and included the construction of one long-term health
care facility and two assisted living facilities.  The facilities were leased
under terms generally similar to the Company's existing leases.  The Company
also funded approximately $11,932,000 in capital improvements in accordance with
certain existing lease agreements.  Such capital improvements will result in an
increase in the minimum rent rents earned by the Company.  The construction
advances and capital improvement advances were funded by bank borrowings on the
Company's bank line of credit and by cash on hand.

     During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company provided
six mortgage loans secured by five long-term health care facilities, three
assisted living facilities and two continuing care retirement communities in six
separate transactions in the aggregate amount of approximately $42,675,000.  The
loans were funded by bank borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit and
cash on hand.

     During June 1997, the Company sold two long-term health care facilities for
an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6,863,000.  The Company received a
mortgage note in the amount of the purchase price, which is secured by the two
facilities.  The related gain of approximately $1,676,000 on such sale will be
recognized into income on a deferred basis in proportion to the receipt of
principal payments on the mortgage loans provided by the Company.
 
     During August 1997, the Company sold one long-term health care facility to
the lessee of such facility pursuant to a purchase option provision in the
respective lease for a purchase price of approximately $4,829,000 resulting in a
gain of approximately $829,000. The proceeds of the sale were used to repay bank
borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company issued
$165,000,000 in medium-term notes.  The notes bear fixed interest at a weighted
average rate of 7.12% and have a weighted average maturity of 19 years.  The
proceeds were used to reduce borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit.
 
     In September 1997, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of 7.677% Series A
Cumulative Preferred Step-up REIT securities ("Preferred Stock") with a
liquidation preference of $100 per share.  Dividends on the Preferred Stock are
cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly in arrears,
commencing December 31, 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.  

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
Proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Stock were used to repay bank borrowings
under the Company's bank line of credit and will be used for general corporate
purposes, including the funding of additional investments.

  During April 1997, the Company's $100,000,000 bank line of credit was amended
to, among other things, extend its maturity to March 31, 2000 and reduce its
current LIBOR borrowing margin from .90% to .75%.
 
  At September 30, 1997, the Company had the maximum amount of $100,000,000
available under its bank line of credit.  The Company has effective shelf
registrations on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which
the Company may issue (a) up to $245,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of
medium term notes and (b) up to approximately $233,122,000 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.

  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.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

  (b)  The Preferred Stock is senior to the Company's Common Stock with respect
to dividends and amounts paid at liquidation. Except in certain circumstances,
unless full cumulative dividends on the Preferred Stock have been or
contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then
current dividend period, no dividends (other than in shares of Common Stock or
other capital stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock as to dividends and
upon liquidation) may be declared or paid or set aside for payment, nor may any
shares of Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company ranking junior
to or on a parity with the Preferred Stock as to dividends or amounts upon
liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration

redemption of any such stock) by the Company (except by conversion into or
exchange for other capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Preferred
Stock as to dividends and amounts upon liquidation).

       Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the affairs of the Company, then, before any distribution or payment may be
made to the holders of any shares of Common Stock, the holders of Preferred
Stock are entitled to receive out of assets of the Company legally available for
distribution to stockholders, liquidation distributions in the amount of the
liquidation preference of $100.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all
dividends accrued and unpaid thereon.
