                        OMEGA HEALTHCARE INVESTORS, INC.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

                               September 30, 1999

Note A - Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for
Omega  Healthcare  Investors,  Inc.  (the  "Company"),  have  been  prepared  in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include  all of the  information  and  footnotes
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included.  Operating  results for the three-month  and nine-month  periods ended
September 30, 1999,  are not  necessarily  indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For further  information,  refer
to the  financial  statements  and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.


Note B - Asset Concentrations

     As of September 30, 1999,  89.6% of the cost of the  Company's  real estate
investments  ($973.4  million)  is related to  long-term  care  skilled  nursing
facilities,   4.9%  to  assisted  living  facilities,   2.4%  to  rehabilitation
hospitals,  and 3.1% to medical office facilities.  These healthcare  facilities
are located in 30 states and are operated by 29 independent healthcare operating
companies.  Approximately  79.1% of the Company's total investments are operated
by  nine  public  companies,  including  Sun  Healthcare  Group,  Inc.  (24.7%),
Integrated  Health  Services,  Inc.  (15.3%),  Advocat  Inc.  (10.6%),  RainTree
Healthcare  Corporation (f.k.a. Unison Healthcare  Corporation) (7.8%),  Genesis
Health  Ventures,  Inc.  (6.7%),  Mariner  Post-Acute  Network  (5.6%),  Alterra
Healthcare  Corporation  (3.2%) and two other public companies  (5.2%).  The two
largest private operators  represent 4.4% and 3.0% of investments,  and no other
operator  represents more than 2.5% of investments.  Total  investments  include
Other Real Estate operated for the Company's own account (see Note C). The three
largest  states in which  investments  are located are  Florida  (14.1%),  Texas
(7.5%) and California (6.4%).


Note C - Portfolio Valuation Matters

     In the ordinary course of its business activities, the Company periodically
evaluates investment  opportunities and extends credit to customers.  It also is
regularly engaged in lease and loan extensions and modifications.  Additionally,
the Company  actively  monitors and manages its  investment  portfolio  with the
objectives of improving  credit  quality and increasing  returns.  In connection
with portfolio  management,  it engages in various  collection  and  foreclosure
activities.  The Company  believes its management has the skills,  knowledge and
experience to deal with such issues as may arise from time to time.



                                       5
<PAGE>

     When the Company acquires real estate pursuant to a foreclosure proceeding,
it is  classified  as "other real  estate" and  recorded at the lower of cost or
fair value  based on  appraisal.  Additionally,  when a formal plan to sell real
estate is adopted, the real estate is classified as "assets held for sale," with
the  net  carrying  amount  adjusted  to the  lower  of cost  or  estimated  net
realizable value. Based on management's current review of the lease and mortgage
portfolio,  no provision for impairment of leased assets or collection losses of
mortgage principal is required as of September 30, 1999.


Assets Held For Sale

     During  1998  management  was  authorized  to initiate a plan to dispose of
certain  properties judged to have limited  long-term  potential and to redeploy
the proceeds.  As of September 30, 1999, the carrying value of assets held under
plan for disposition total $25.1 million.  During the three-month and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1999, the Company realized  disposition  proceeds of
$1.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively. Reported net rental revenue for the
1999 three-month and nine-month periods excludes approximately $898,000 and $2.2
million, respectively, of income realized from these assets.


Other Real Estate

     The Company owns 18  facilities  with 1,665 beds  located in three  states,
which are operated for its own account.  The  investment  in this real estate is
classified  under Other Real Estate as of  September  30,  1999.  It includes 12
nursing homes located in Massachusetts and Connecticut with 1,259 licensed beds.
The  facilities  were  acquired  by the  Company  on  July  14,  1999 in lieu of
foreclosure and are currently being managed by Genesis Healthcare.  At September
30,  1999,  the  Company  had  invested  approximately  $70.4  million  in these
facilities. The Company presently is considering negotiating a lease with one or
more new  operators  or selling the  facilities.  Income  from these  facilities
approximated $850,000 for the period from July 15 through September 30, 1999.

     Other Real Estate also  includes  six  facilities  with 406  licensed  beds
located  in  Indiana.  Pursuant  to the  reorganization  completed  by  RainTree
Healthcare  Corporation,  formerly known as Unison Healthcare  Corporation,  the
Company  terminated its lease with respect to these six facilities.  In exchange
for  terminating  the lease,  the  Company  received $1 million in cash and a $3
million  secured note.  Income realized for the three months ended September 30,
1999 was approximately $101,000.

Property Agreement with Sun Healthcare Group

     On October  14,  1999,  the  Company  completed  a  comprehensive  property
agreement with Sun Healthcare Group ("Sun") related to the 54 facilities  leased
by the Company to Sun. Immediately after the agreement was signed, Sun filed for
Chapter 11  reorganization  with the  Federal  Bankruptcy  Court at  Wilmington,
Delaware and filed a motion with the  Bankruptcy  Court for authority to fulfill
the terms of the comprehensive property agreement.  The Federal Bankruptcy Court
has set a November  12,  1999  hearing  date with  respect to the  comprehensive
property  agreement.  If  approved,  the  agreement  will  confirm the  existing
economic terms of lease  agreements  between the Company and Sun with respect to
50 healthcare  properties,  representing  $219 million in investments  and $23.2
million  in annual  rental  revenues.  Four  facilities  involving  an  original
investment  of $19.8 million and annual rents of $2.1 million will be managed by
new  operators  for the  account of the Company if  operating  leases are not in
place upon entry of the court order. As of the date of this report,  the Company
has arranged for the lease of one of these facilities with no substantive change
to the rent and other terms of the lease as compared with the Sun lease. Pending
the  confirmation  of the court order,  the Company is  considering  its various
options with respect to the remaining three facilities.


Purchase / Prepayment Options

     The Company  received  notice from a mortgagor  that it intends to prepay a
mortgage  balance of  approximately  $26  million.  On  September  30,  1999 the
mortgagor  received  a  commitment  from  HUD and it  expects  to  complete  the
refinancing on or about November 30, 1999.

     One tenant has  exercised its purchase  option to acquire  three  custodial
care facilities and one skilled nursing facility leased from the Company, with a
cost of $15.3  million and net carrying  amount of $12.6  million.  An appraisal
process to  establish  the  purchase  price was  completed  on October 29, 1999,
resulting in sales proceeds of $7.5 million. The sale is expected to close on or
before  November  10,  1999  and will  result  in the  recognition  of a loss of
approximately $5 million during the fourth quarter of 1999.


Note D - Preferred Stock

     During  1997,  the  Company  issued 2.3  million  shares of 9.25%  Series A
Cumulative  Preferred Stock at $25 per share.  During 1998, the Company issued 2
million shares of 8.625% Series B Cumulative  Preferred  Stock at $25 per share.
Dividends on the preferred  stock are cumulative from the date of original issue
and are payable quarterly.


Note E - Net Earnings Per Share

     Net earnings per share is computed based on the weighted  average number of
common shares  outstanding during the respective  periods.  Diluted earnings per

                                       7
<PAGE>

share amounts reflect the dilutive effect of stock options (970 shares and 4,531
shares  for the  nine-month  periods  in 1999 and 1998,  respectively).  Assumed
conversion of the Company's 1996 convertible debentures is antidilutive.


Note F - Omega Worldwide, Inc.

     As of September 30, 1999 the Company holds a $7,362,000 investment in Omega
Worldwide,  Inc. ("Worldwide"),  represented by 1,163,000 shares of common stock
and 260,000 shares of Preferred stock.  The Company has guaranteed  repayment of
$25 million of Worldwide  permitted  borrowings  pursuant to a revolving  credit
facility in exchange  for a 1% annual fee and an unused fee of 25 basis  points.
The Company has been  advised  that at  September  30,  1999 no  borrowings  are
outstanding  under  Worldwide's  revolving  credit facility.  Additionally,  the
Company  has a  Services  Agreement  with  Worldwide,  which  provides  for  the
allocation  of  indirect  costs  incurred  by  the  Company  to  Worldwide.  The
allocation of indirect  costs is based on the  relationship  of assets under the
Company's  management  to the  combined  total of those  assets and assets under
Worldwide's   management.   Indirect  costs   allocated  to  Worldwide  for  the
three-month and nine-month  periods ending  September 30, 1999 were $186,000 and
$580,000, respectively, compared with $152,000 and $303,000 for the same periods
in 1998.


Note G - Shareholder Rights Plan

     On May 12, 1999, the Company's  Board of Directors  authorized the adoption
of a shareholder  rights plan. The plan is designed to require a person or group
seeking  to  gain  control  of the  Company  to  offer a fair  price  to all the
Company's  shareholders.  The rights  plan will not  interfere  with any merger,
acquisition or business  combination that the Company's Board of Directors finds
is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

     In connection  with the adoption of the rights plan,  the board  declared a
dividend  distribution of one right for each common share outstanding on May 24,
1999.  The rights will not become  exercisable  unless a person  acquires 10% or
more of the Company's  common stock,  or begins a tender offer that would result
in the person  owning 10% or more of the Company's  common stock.  At that time,
each right would  entitle each  shareholder  other than the person who triggered
the rights plan to purchase  either the  Company's  common  stock or stock of an
acquiring  entity  at a  discount  to the then  market  price.  The plan was not
adopted in response to any specific attempt to acquire control of the Company.


Note H - Subsequent Events

         On  October  19,  1999 the  Board of  Directors  declared  its  regular
quarterly  dividend  of $.70 per share to be paid  November  15,  1999 to common
shareholders of record on October 29, 1999. In addition,  the board declared its
regular   quarterly   dividends   of  $.578  per  share  and  $.539  per  share,
respectively,  to be  paid on  November  15,  1999  to  Series  A and  Series  B
Cumulative Preferred shareholders of record on October 29, 1999.

Item 2 -  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
            and Results of Operations.

 "Safe Harbor" Statement Under the United States Private  Securities  Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.  Statements contained in this document that are not based on
historical  fact are  "forward-looking  statements"  within  the  meaning of the
Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking  statements
include statements  regarding the Company's future development  activities,  the
future condition and expansion of the Company's  markets,  the Company's ability
to meet its liquidity requirements and the Company's growth strategies,  as well
as  other  statements  which  may be  identified  by the use of  forward-looking
terminology  such as  "may,"  "will,"  "expect,"  "estimate,"  "anticipate,"  or
similar  terms,  variations  of those  terms  or the  negative  of those  terms.
Statements that are not historical  facts  contained in Management's  Discussion
and Analysis are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual  results to differ from projected  results.  Some of the
factors  that could  cause  actual  results to differ  materially  include:  The
financial  strength of the  Company's  facilities  as it affects the  operators'
continuing  ability to meet their  obligations to the Company under the terms of
the  Company's  agreements  with such  operators;  changes in the  reimbursement
levels  under  the  Medicare  and  Medicaid   programs;   operators'   continued
eligibility  to participate  in the Medicare and Medicaid  programs;  changes in
reimbursement  by other third party  payors;  occupancy  levels at the Company's
facilities;  the  availability  and cost of capital;  the strength and financial
resources of the Company's competitors; the Company's ability to make additional
real  estate  investments  at  attractive  yields;  and  changes in tax laws and
regulations affecting real estate investment trusts.

    Following  is a  discussion  of  the  consolidated  results  of  operations,
financial  position and  liquidity and capital  resources of the Company,  which
should be read in conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements and
accompanying notes.


Results of Operations

     Revenues for the  three-month and nine-month  periods ending  September 30,
1999 totaled $31.3 million and $92.1 million,  respectively, an increase of $2.9
million and $9.5 million,  respectively,  over the periods ending  September 30,
1998. The 1999 revenue growth stems  primarily from new real estate  investments
of approximately  $255.8 million during the twelve-month period ending September
30,  1999,  offset  by  revenues  of  approximately  $7.2  million  from  assets
identified for sale. Additionally,  approximately $1.0 million of revenue growth
stems from participating incremental net revenues that became effective in 1999.
As of September 30, 1999, gross real estate  investments of $973 million have an
average annualized yield of approximately 11.4%.

     Expenses for the  three-month  and nine-month  periods ended  September 30,
1999 totaled $18.9 million and $53.9 million,  respectively, an increase of $3.7
million and $9.3 million,  respectively,  over expenses for 1998.  The provision
for depreciation  and  amortization  for the three-month and nine-month  periods
ended  September  30, 1999 totaled  $6,488,000  and  $17,948,000,  respectively,
increasing  $730,000 and $1,218,000  over the same periods in 1998. The increase
for the  three-month  and  nine-month  periods  relates to higher  average  real
property   investments   and  additions  to  other  real  estate  stemming  from
foreclosure proceedings.

     Interest expense for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September
30, 1999 was $11.0 million and $31.5 million,  respectively,  compared with $8.1
million  and $23.8  million,  respectively,  for the same  periods in 1998.  The
increase  in 1999 is  primarily  due to higher  average  outstanding  borrowings
during the 1999 period at slightly lower rates than the same period in the prior
year.

     General and  administrative  expenses for the  three-month  and  nine-month
periods  ended  September  30,  1999  totaled  $1.5  million  and $4.5  million,
respectively.  These expenses for the  three-month  and nine-month  periods were
approximately 4.7% and 4.8% of revenues,  respectively,  as compared to 5.0% and
4.9% of revenues, respectively, for the 1998 periods.

     Net  earnings   available  to  common   shareholders  were  $9,947,000  and
$30,966,000 for the three-month  and nine-month  periods in 1999,  respectively,
decreasing   approximately   $803,000  and  $1,277,000  from  the  1998  periods
(excluding the non-recurring  gain of $30.2 million in 1998). The decrease stems
primarily from  non-recognition  of income from assets held for sale of $898,000
and $2,214,000 for the three-month  and nine-month  periods,  respectively.  Net
earnings per diluted  common share  (excluding the  non-recurring  gain in 1998)
decreased  from $0.53 to $0.50 for the  three-month  period and  decreased  from
$1.61 to $1.56 for the nine-month period as a result of the  non-recognition  of
income on assets  held for sale ($.04 per share for the  three-month  period and
$.10 per share for the nine-month period),  coupled with the effect of increased
dividends from preferred  stock issued in 1998. The decrease from these items is
mitigated by the aforementioned asset growth and the reduction in average shares
outstanding from the share repurchase program for the nine-month period.

     Funds from Operations  ("FFO") totaled  $17,446,000 and $51,466,000 for the
three-month and nine-month  periods ending  September 30, 1999,  representing an
increase of approximately $825,000 and $2,155,000 over the same periods in 1998.
FFO is net earnings  available to common  shareholders,  excluding  any gains or
losses  from debt  restructuring  and the  effects of asset  dispositions,  plus
depreciation  and  amortization  associated  with real  estate  investments  and
charges to earnings for non-cash common stock based compensation.

     No  provision  for  Federal  income  taxes has been made since the  Company
intends to  continue  to qualify as a real  estate  investment  trust  under the
provisions of Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to Federal income taxes on
amounts distributed to shareholders, provided it distributes at least 95% of its
real estate investment trust taxable income and meets certain other conditions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company  continually  seeks new  investments  in healthcare  properties,
primarily long-term care facilities, with the objective of profitable growth and
further  diversification of the investment  portfolio.  Permanent  financing for
future  investments is expected to be provided  through a combination of private
and public  offerings  of debt and equity  securities.  Management  believes the
Company's  liquidity  and various  sources of available  capital are adequate to
finance operations,  fund future investments in additional facilities,  and meet
debt service requirements.

    At September  30, 1999,  the Company has a strong  financial  position  with
total  assets of $1.1  billion,  shareholders'  equity of  $490.9  million,  and
long-term  debt of  $381.0  million,  representing  approximately  35% of  total
capitalization.  Long-term debt excludes funds borrowed by the Company under its
acquisition credit agreements.  The Company anticipates  maintaining a long-term
debt-to-capitalization  ratio of approximately 40%. The Company has $250 million
available  under its revolving  credit  facilities,  of which $195.1 million was
drawn at September 30, 1999.  During the remainder of 1999, the Company  expects
to receive  approximately $35 million related to sale proceeds from the exercise
of a lease/purchase option by a tenant and the prepayment of a mortgage.

    On  January  14,  1999,  the  Company's  Form  S-3  registration   statement
permitting  the  issuance  of  up to  $300  million  related  to  common  stock,
unspecified  debt,  preferred  stock and  convertible  securities  was  declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Additionally,  in February
1997,  the  Company  filed a Form  S-4  shelf  registration  statement  with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  registering  common stock  totaling  $100
million to be issued in connection with future property acquisitions.

    The Company has demonstrated a strong capacity for access of capital markets
and has raised more than $1.2  billion in debt and equity  capital  since it was
organized  in 1992.  The  Company  raised  more than  $500  million  in  equity,
including  $130 million from the initial  public  offering in 1992,  $73 million
from a follow-on  common  stock  offering in 1994,  $165 million from the Health
Equity Properties acquisition in 1994 and three additional offerings,  including
the offering of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock.  Additionally,  over $700
million of debt capital has been  raised,  some of which has been used to retire
secured  borrowings with higher interest rates. In 1996, the Company completed a
placement of $95 million of 8.5% Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures due 2001,
and executed an  agreement to increase its current bank line of credit  facility
by $50 million and to extend the term of the revolving  credit agreement to July
1999. In 1997, the Company issued $57.5 million of Series A Preferred Stock with
a yield of 9.25% and  completed a $100  million  10-year  senior  note  offering
priced to yield  6.99%.  In September  1997,  the Company  completed  the second
amended and  restated  loan  agreement.  The new  agreement  provides  for total
permitted  borrowings  of  up  to  $200  million,   reduces  interest  rates  on
borrowings,  and extends the term of the  agreement to September  2000. In April
1998, the Company issued $50 million of Series B Preferred Stock with a yield of
8.625%.  In June 1998,  the Company  completed a $125 million 4-year senior note
offering  priced  to yield  7.04%.  In March  1999 the  Company  entered  into a
three-year $50 million secured revolving line of credit facility with a bank.


                                       11

     Cash  dividends  paid  totaled  $2.10 per share for the  nine-month  period
ending September 30, 1999,  compared with $2.01 per share for the same period in
1998. The current $.70 per quarter rate  represents an annualized  rate of $2.80
per share. The dividend payout ratio, that is the ratio of per share amounts for
dividends  paid to the diluted per share amounts of funds from  operations,  was
approximately 83.1% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, compared
with 83.4% for the same period in 1998.  Approximately  50% of incremental  cash
flow from  operations  is  expected  to be  retained  annually  through  gradual
reductions in the dividend payout ratio, with such funds used to fund additional
investments and provide financial flexibility.

     New investments  generally are funded from temporary  borrowings  under the
Company's  acquisition  credit line  agreement.  Interest  cost  incurred by the
Company on  borrowings  under its  revolving  credit line  facilities  will vary
depending  upon  fluctuations  in prime and/or LIBOR rates.  With respect to the
unsecured acquisition credit line, interest rates depend in part upon changes in
the  Company's  ratings  by  national  agencies.  The term of the  $200  million
unsecured facility expires on September 30, 2000.  Borrowings under the facility
bear  interest  at LIBOR plus 1.00% or, at the  Company's  option,  at the prime
rate.  Borrowings  under the $50 million  facility  bear  interest at LIBOR plus
2.00% or, at the Company's  option,  at the prime rate.  The Company  expects to
periodically  replace funds drawn on the  revolving  credit  facilities  through
fixed-rate long-term borrowings, the placement of convertible debentures, or the
issuance of additional  shares of common and/or preferred  stock.  Historically,
the Company's  strategy has been to match the maturity of its indebtedness  with
the maturity of its assets and to employ fixed-rate long-term debt to the extent
practicable. Difficult capital markets continue to limit the Company's access to
growth capital,  and the Company is considering options to improve liquidity and
strengthen its balance sheet.  For example,  if capital market  conditions place
limitations  on the  Company's  access to  traditional  sources of capital,  the
Company  expects  to  target  real  estate  investments  to sell as a source  of
additional liquidity and for payments of term obligations as they mature.


Year 2000 Compliance

     The Year 2000  compliance  issue concerns the inability of certain  systems
and devices to properly use or store dates beyond  December 31, 1999. This could
result in system failures,  malfunctions, or miscalculations that disrupt normal
operations.  This issue affects most  companies and  organizations  to large and
small  degrees,  at  least  to the  extent  that  potential  exposures  must  be
evaluated.

     The Company has reviewed  risks with regard to the ability of the Company's
own internal operations,  the impact of outside vendors' ability to operate, and
the impact of tenants'  ability to operate.  The Company has focused this review
on  mission-critical  operations,  recognizing that other potential  effects are
expected to be less material.  Based upon information  available from technology
vendors to date,  the Company does not believe that there are issues which could
have a material  effect upon its  operations  with  respect to its own  internal
operations, its technology infrastructure, information systems, and software. In
those cases where there are compliance issues,  these are considered to be minor
in nature, and remedies are already  identified.  Expenditures for such remedies
will not be material.


                                       12
<PAGE>

     With respect to the  Company's  significant  outside  vendors,  such as its
banks,  payroll  processor,  and  telecommunications  providers,  the  Company's
assessment  has covered  the  compliance  efforts of  significant  vendors,  the
effects of potential  non-compliance,  and remedies that may mitigate or obviate
such  effects  as to the  Company's  business  and  operations.  Based  upon its
assessment  of outside  vendors,  the Company  does not  believe  that there are
issues which could have a material effect upon its operations.

     With  respect  to the  Company's  tenants  and  properties,  the  Company's
assessment has covered the tenants' compliance  efforts,  the possibility of any
interface  difficulties or electromechanical  problems relating to compliance by
material vendors, the effects of potential non-compliance, and remedies that may
mitigate or obviate such effects.  Based upon  responses  from tenant surveys to
date, the Company does not believe that there are tenant/property-related issues
which could have a material effect upon its operations.

     Because the Company's  evaluation of these issues has been conducted by its
own personnel or by selected  inquiries of its vendors and tenants in connection
with  their  routine  servicing  operations,   the  Company  believes  that  its
expenditures for assessing Year 2000 issues, though difficult to quantify,  have
not been material. In addition, the Company is not aware of any issues that will
require material expenditures by the Company in the future.

     Based upon current information, the Company believes that the risk posed by
foreseeable Year 2000 related problems with its internal systems (including both
information and non-information  systems) is minimal. Year 2000 related problems
with the Company's software  applications and internal  operational programs are
unlikely to cause more than minor disruptions in the Company's operations.  Year
2000 related problems at certain of its third-party  service providers,  such as
its banks, payroll processor,  and  telecommunications  provider,  is marginally
greater,  though, based upon current  information,  the Company does not believe
any such problems would have a material effect on its  operations.  For example,
Year 2000 related problems at such third-party service providers could delay the
processing  of  financial  transactions  and the  Company's  payroll,  and could
disrupt the Company's internal and external communications.

     The Company believes that the risk posed by Year 2000 related problems with
its tenants is marginally greater,  though, based upon current information,  the
Company does not believe any such problems  would have a material  effect on its
operations.  Year 2000  related  problems at certain  governmental  agencies and
third-party payers could delay the processing of tenant financial  transactions,
though,  based upon current  information,  the Company does not believe any such
problems would have a material  long-term  effect on its  operations.  Year 2000
related  problems  with the  electromechanical  systems  at its  properties  are
unlikely to cause more than minor disruptions.

     The Company has implemented  identified remedies,  will continue to monitor
Year 2000  issues,  and will  develop  contingency  plans if, and to the extent,
deemed  necessary.   However,   based  upon  current   information  and  barring
developments,  the  Company  does  not  anticipate  developing  any  substantive
contingency plans with respect to Year 2000 issues. In addition, the Company has
no plans to seek independent verification or review of its assessments.

     While the Company  believes that it will be Year 2000 compliant by December
31, 1999,  there can be no  assurance  that the Company  will be  successful  in
identifying and assessing all compliance  issues,  or that the Company's efforts
to remedy all Year 2000 compliance  issues will be effective such that they will
not have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business  or results of
operations.

     The  information  above  contains  forward-looking  statements,  including,
without  limitation,  statements  relating to the Company's  plans,  strategies,
objectives,  expectations,  intentions  and  adequate  resources  that  are made
pursuant to "Safe Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995.  Readers are cautioned that  forward-looking  statements  about the
Year 2000 should be read in conjunction with the Company's disclosures under the
heading:  "Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995.

                              ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT

                  OMEGA  HEALTHCARE  INVESTORS,  INC.,  a  Maryland  corporation
having its principal  office c/o The Corporation  Trust  Incorporated,  32 South
Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202 (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), hereby
certifies to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland that:

                  FIRST:  The charter  of the  Corporation  is  hereby  amended
by  striking  out Section 1. of Article IV in its entirety and inserting in lieu
thereof the following:

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                  CAPITAL STOCK
                                  -------------

                  Section 1. The total  number of shares of capital  stock which
                  the  corporation  shall have authority to issue is One Hundred
                  Ten  Million  (110,000,000)  , of which  One  Hundred  Million
                  (100,000,000)  shall be shares of  Common  Stock  having a par
                  value of $.10 per share and Ten Million  (10,000,000) shall be
                  shares  of  Preferred  Stock  having a par  value of $1.00 per
                  share.  The aggregate par value of all of said shares shall be
                  Twenty Million Dollars  ($20,000,000).  Prior to the increase,
                  the aggregate par value of all said shares was Fifteen Million
                  Dollars ($15,000,000).

                  SECOND:  The  board  of  directors  of the  Corporation,  at a
meeting  duly  convened and held on January 19,  1999,  adopted a resolution  in
which was set forth the foregoing  amendment to the charter,  declaring that the
said  amendment to the charter was advisable and directing  that it be submitted
for action  thereon at a meeting of the  stockholders  of the  Corporation to be
held on April 20, 1999.

                  THIRD:  Notice  setting forth the  aforesaid  amendment of the
charter and stating that a purpose of the meeting of the  stockholders  would be

Corporation  entitled  to vote  thereon.  The  amendment  of the  charter of the
Corporation as  hereinabove  set forth was approved by the  stockholders  of the
Corporation at said meeting by the affirmative vote required by law.

                  FOURTH:  (a) The  total  number of  shares of all classes of
stock of the Corporation heretofore authorized, and the number and par value of

                            ------------              ---------
                            50,000,000                $.10 per share


                            Preferred Stock           Par Value
                            ---------------           ---------
                            10,000,000                $1.00 per share


                          (b)  The  total number of shares of  all classes  of
stock  of the  Corporation  as increased, and  the  number and par value of the
shares of each class, are as follows:

                             Common Stock              Par Value
                             ------------              ---------
                             100,000,000               $.10 per share


                             Preferred Stock           Par Value
                             ---------------           ---------
                             10,000,000                $1.00 per share


                           (c) The  aggregate par  value  of  all shares of all
classes of stock of the Corporation  heretofore authorized was $15,000,000.  The
aggregate  par value of all shares of all classes of stock as  increased by this
amendment  is  $20,000,000.  This  amendment  has the effect of  increasing  the
aggregate par value of all shares of all classes of stock of the  Corporation by
$5,000,000.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the Corporation has caused these presents
to be  signed  in its  name  and on its  behalf  by its  Vice-President  and its
corporate seal to be hereunto affixed and attested by its Secretary,

                  THE UNDERSIGNED, Vice-President acknowledges these Articles of
Amendment to be the corporate act of the Corporation and states that to the best
of his knowledge, information and belief the matters and facts set forth therein
with respect to the  authorization and approval thereof are true in all material
respects and that this statement is made under the penalties of perjury.
