NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business

Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (“Brookdale” or the “Company”) is a leading owner and operator of senior living communities throughout the United States. The Company provides an exceptional living experience through properties that are designed, purpose-built and operated to provide the highest quality service, care and living accommodations for residents. The Company owns, leases and operates retirement centers, assisted living and dementia-care communities and continuing care retirement centers (“CCRCs”).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of June 30, 2011, and for all periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. All adjustments made have been of a normal and recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate and provide a fair presentation of interim period results. Interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results for an entire year. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Revenue Recognition

Resident Fees

Resident fee revenue is recorded when services are rendered and consist of fees for basic housing, support services and fees associated with additional services such as personalized health and assisted living care. Residency agreements are generally for a term of 30 days to one year, with resident fees billed monthly in advance. Revenue for certain skilled nursing services and ancillary charges is recognized as services are provided and is billed monthly in arrears.

Entrance Fees

Certain of the Company’s communities have residency agreements which require the resident to pay an upfront fee prior to occupying the community. The non-refundable portion of the entrance fee is recorded as deferred revenue and amortized over the estimated stay of the resident based on an actuarial valuation. The refundable portion of a resident’s entrance fee is generally refundable within a certain number of months or days following contract termination. Refundable fees with respect to such contracts are not amortized and are reflected as current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Certain contracts provide for refundable entrance fees that are refundable only upon resale of a comparable unit. Such fees are deemed "contingently refundable." Refundable fees related to such contracts are recorded as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is amortized over the life of the community into rental income and was approximately $52.1 million and $52.9 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In certain instances the Company replaces contingently refundable entrance fee units with non-refundable entrance fee units. In such cases the Company estimates the portion of the "contingently refundable" entrance fee which will be refunded with proceeds from non-refundable entrance fees receipts and includes such amount in deferred revenue to be amortized over the life of the community. All remaining contingently refundable fees not recorded as deferred revenue and amortized are classified as a current liability and included in refundable

Table of Contents

entrance fees and deferred revenue and not amortized. All refundable amounts due to residents at any time in the future, including those recorded as deferred revenue, are classified as current liabilities. The amount of entrance fees reflected as long term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet represent only the non-refundable entrance fees to be amortized to rental revenue. In addition, in connection with the Company’s MyChoice program, new and existing residents are allowed to pay additional entrance fee amounts in return for a reduced monthly service fee.

Community Fees

Substantially all community fees received are non-refundable and are recorded initially as deferred revenue. The deferred amounts, including both the deferred revenue and the related direct resident lease origination costs, are amortized over the estimated stay of the resident which is consistent with the implied contractual terms of the resident lease.

Management Fees

Management fee revenue is recorded as services are provided to the owners of the communities. Revenues are determined by an agreed upon percentage of gross revenues (as defined).

Reimbursed Costs Incurred on Behalf of Managed Communities

The Company manages certain communities under contracts which provide for payment to the Company of a monthly management fee plus reimbursement of certain operating expenses. Where the Company is the primary obligor with respect to any such operating expenses, the Company recognizes revenue when the goods have been delivered or the service has been rendered and the Company is due reimbursement. Such revenue is included on behalf of managed communities on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The related costs are included in “costs incurred on behalf of managed communities” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments and marketable securities - restricted are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at amounts considered by management to reasonably approximate fair value. Management estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using a discounted cash flow analysis based upon the Company’s current borrowing rate for debt with similar maturities and collateral securing the indebtedness. The Company had outstanding debt with a carrying value of approximately $2.4 billion and $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the estimated fair value of debt was approximately $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 – Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), which establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s marketable securities - restricted are valued based primarily on quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Table of Contents

The Company’s derivative positions are valued using models developed internally by the respective counterparty that use as their basis readily observable market parameters (such as forward yield curves) and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The Company considers its own credit risk as well as the credit risk of its counterparties when evaluating the fair value of its derivatives. Any adjustments resulting from credit risk are recorded as a change in fair value of derivatives and amortization in the current period statement of operations (Note 14).

The Company’s fair value of debt disclosure is determined based primarily on market interest rate assumptions of similar debt applied to future cash flows under the debt agreements and is classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Self-Insurance Liability Accruals

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although the Company maintains general liability and professional liability insurance policies for its owned, leased and managed communities under a master insurance program, the Company’s current policy provides for deductibles for each and every claim ($150,000 effective January 1, 2010). As a result, the Company is, in effect, self-insured for claims that are less than $150,000. In addition, the Company maintains a self-insured workers compensation program and a self-insured employee medical program for amounts below excess loss coverage amounts, as defined. The Company reviews the adequacy of its accruals related to these liabilities on an ongoing basis, using historical claims, actuarial valuations, third party administrator estimates, consultants, advice from legal counsel and industry data, and adjusts accruals periodically. Estimated costs related to these self-insurance programs are accrued based on known claims and projected claims incurred but not yet reported. Subsequent changes in actual experience are monitored and estimates are updated as information is available.

Treasury Stock

The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity.

Marketable Securities - Restricted

Marketable securities - restricted include amounts required to be held in reserve related to the Company’s entrance fee CCRCs pursuant to various state insurance regulations. Marketable securities - restricted consist of mutual funds holding equities and bonds. The Company classifies its marketable securities - restricted as available-for-sale. Accordingly, these investments are carried at their estimated fair value with the unrealized gain and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses from the available-for-sale securities are determined on the specific identification method and are included in other non-operating (expense) income on the trade date.

A decline in the market value of any security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount of the security to fair market value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.

The amortized cost basis of the marketable securities – restricted as of June 30, 2011 was $31.8 million.

Convertible Debt Instruments

Convertible debt instruments are accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 470-20, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options. This guidance requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion, including partial cash settlement, to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU specifies that when financial statements are presented, the revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be disclosed as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations with acquisition dates on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. This ASU requires that reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. ASU 2010-28 is effective for the Company beginning with this interim period. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”), which expands required disclosures related to an entity’s fair value measurements. Certain provisions of ASU 2010-06 were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, and the Company adopted those provisions as of January 1, 2010. The remaining provisions, which were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, require additional disclosures related to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in an entity’s reconciliation of recurring level three investments. The Company adopted the final provisions of ASU 2010-06 as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The guidance in ASU 2011-05 is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and requires the components of net income and other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income for each interim period. The Company has not yet adopted this pronouncement, but does not feel it will have an impact on the consolidated financial statements other than additional disclosure.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation, with no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company determined that certain revenues and expenses associated with transactions with managed communities were understated in prior periods. The Company manages certain communities under contracts which provide for payment to the Company of a monthly management fee plus reimbursement of certain operating expenses. The Company considered the indicators in ASC Topic 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations, in making its determination that these reimbursed operating expenses should be reported gross versus net as had been reported in prior periods. The Company is the primary obligor for certain expenses incurred at its managed communities including payroll and payroll-related costs of the Company’s employees, food, insurance, utilities, medical and other supplies purchased under national contracts entered into by the Company. Consequently, such expenses incurred by the Company as the primary obligor on behalf of managed communities operated by it under long-term management agreements should be reported as costs incurred on behalf of managed communities and included in total operating expense in the Company’s statements of operations with a corresponding amount of revenue recognized in the same period in which the expense is incurred and the Company is due reimbursement.

The related corrections will be made to the applicable prior periods as such financial information is included in future filings with the SEC, but no later than the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2011. The impact on the prior annual periods is as follows (dollars in thousands):

These corrections had no impact on the Company’s total consolidated assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity, net loss or cash flows.

3. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS includes the components of basic EPS and also gives effect to dilutive common stock equivalents. For purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, vested restricted stock awards are considered outstanding. Under the treasury stock method, diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments that are convertible into common stock were exercised or could result in the issuance of common stock. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents include unvested restricted stock, restricted stock units and convertible debt instruments and warrants (Note 8).

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company reported a consolidated net loss. As a result of the net loss, unvested restricted stock, restricted stock unit awards and convertible debt instruments and warrants were antidilutive for each period and were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average shares. The weighted average restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share were 1.5 million and 1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 1.6 million and 1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

4. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Effective January 13, 2011, the Company acquired the underlying real estate interest in 12 assisted living communities that the Company previously leased for an aggregate purchase price of $31.3 million, which was paid from cash on hand. The results of operations of the previously leased communities are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the lease agreement and are reported in the Assisted Living segment.

Effective February 1, 2011, the Company acquired the underlying real estate interest in one assisted living community that the Company previously leased for an aggregate purchase price of $9.8 million, which was paid from cash on hand. The results of operations of the previously leased community are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the lease agreement and are reported in the Assisted Living segment.

Effective February 1, 2011, the Company acquired one assisted living community for an aggregate purchase price of $9.2 million, which was paid from cash on hand. The results of operations of the acquired community is included in the condensed consolidated financial statement from the effective date of the acquisition and are reported in the Assisted Living segment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company purchased three home health agencies for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.2 million. The entire purchase price of the acquisitions has been ascribed to an indefinite useful life intangible asset and recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet under other intangible assets, net.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company sold three communities for an aggregate selling price of $29.0 million. The results of operations of the communities were previously reported in the Retirement Centers and Assisted Living segments.

Horizon Bay/HCP Transactions

On May 31, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interests in Horizon Bay Realty, L.L.C. ("Horizon Bay"),the ninth largest operator of senior living communities in the United States.

In connection with the transaction, the Company has entered into definitive agreements to restructure Horizon Bay's existing relationship with HCP, Inc. (“HCP”) relating to 33 communities that Horizon Bay currently leases from HCP. In particular, the Company will (i) form a joint venture with HCP to own and operate 21 communities, and (ii) lease the remaining 12 communities from HCP. The joint venture with HCP will utilize a RIDEA structure with the Company acquiring a 10% interest. The Company will manage the communities under a ten-year management agreement with four five-year renewal options and will retain all ancillary services operations. The Company will lease 12 communities from HCP subject to long term, triple net leases. In addition, Horizon Bay leases an additional community from HCP pursuant to a triple net lease and subleases that community to a third-party operator.

Horizon Bay provides management services to the remaining 57 Horizon Bay communities. Horizon Bay's primary third party management relationships are with Chartwell Seniors Housing Real Estate Investment Trust ("Chartwell") (45 communities) and AEW Capital Management (three communities). As part of the transactions, the Company expects to simplify and restructure Horizon Bay's existing management relationships with Chartwell.

The consummation of each of the transactions is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions and contingencies, including the receipt of various third-party and regulatory approvals and consents. The transactions are expected to close on September 1, 2011 although there can be no assurance that the transactions will close or, if they do, when the actual closing will occur.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recorded $4.6 million and $5.1 million of compensation expense in connection with grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $9.1 million and $10.0 million of compensation expense in connection with grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, compensation expense was calculated net of forfeitures estimated from 0% to 10% and 0% to 5%, respectively, of the shares granted.

For all awards with graded vesting other than awards with performance-based vesting conditions, the Company records compensation expense for the entire award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. For graded-vesting awards with performance-based vesting conditions, total compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as if the award is, in substance, multiple awards once the performance target is deemed probable of achievement. Performance goals are evaluated quarterly. If such goals are not ultimately met or it is not probable the goals will be achieved, no compensation expense is recognized and any previously recognized compensation expense is reversed.

Current year grants of restricted shares under the Company’s Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan were as follows (amounts in thousands except for value per share):

The Company has an employee stock purchase plan for all eligible employees. The plan became effective on October 1, 2008. Under the plan, eligible employees of the Company can purchase shares of the Company’s

Table of Contents

common stock on a quarterly basis at a discounted price through accumulated payroll deductions. Each eligible employee may elect to deduct up to 15% of his or her base pay each quarter. Subject to certain limitations specified in the plan, on the last trading date of each calendar quarter, the amount deducted from each participant’s pay over the course of the quarter will be used to purchase whole shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price equal to 90% of the closing market price on the New York Stock Exchange on such date. Initially, the Company reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the plan. The employee stock purchase plan also contains an “evergreen” provision that automatically increases the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan by 200,000 shares on the first day of each calendar year beginning January 1, 2010. The impact on the Company’s current year condensed consolidated financial statements is not material.

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net

Following is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010 presented on an operating segment basis (dollars in thousands):

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually with a test date of October 1 or sooner if indicators of impairment are present. No indicators of impairment were present during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated lives and are tested for impairment whenever indicators of impairment arise. No indicators of impairment were present during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The following is a summary of other intangible assets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands):

	June 30, 2011							December 31, 2010
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net
Community purchase options	$	147,610	$	(15,716	)	$	131,894	$	147,782	$	(13,867	)	$	133,915

Amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for both the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $8.7 million and for both the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $17.4 million. Home health licenses were determined to be indefinite-lived intangible assets and are not subject to amortization.

7. Property, Plant and Equipment and Leasehold Intangibles, Net

Property, plant and equipment and leasehold intangibles, net, which include assets under capital leases, consist of the following (dollars in thousands):

	June 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Land	$	273,306		$	273,214
Buildings and improvements		3,019,657			3,003,788

Property, plant and equipment and leasehold intangibles, net	$	3,689,030		$	3,736,842

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, there were indicators of impairment on certain long-lived assets. The Company compared the estimated fair value of the assets (a Level 3 valuation) to their carrying value and recorded an impairment charge for the excess of carrying value over fair value. A non-cash charge of $14.8 million within the Retirement Centers and Assisted Living segments was recorded in the Company’s operating results and reflected as asset impairment in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. These charges are reflected as a decrease to the gross carrying value of the asset. The impairment charges are primarily due to the amount by which the carrying values of the assets exceed the estimated selling prices.

8. Debt

2010 Credit Facility

Effective February 23, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and lender, and the other lenders from time to time parties thereto. The facility had an initial commitment of $100.0 million, with an option to increase the commitment to $120.0 million (which the Company exercised on May 5, 2010), and was scheduled to mature on June 30, 2013.

The revolving line of credit could be used to finance acquisitions and fund working capital and capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.

The facility was secured by a first priority lien on certain of the Company’s communities. The availability under the line could vary from time to time as it was based on borrowing base calculations related to the value and performance of the communities securing the facility.

Amounts drawn under the facility bore interest at 90-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as described below. For purposes of determining the interest rate, in no event would LIBOR be less than 2.0%. The applicable margin varied with the percentage of the total commitment drawn, with a 4.5% margin at 35% or lower utilization, a 5.0% margin at utilization greater than 35% but less than or equal to 50%, and a 5.5% margin at greater than 50% utilization. The Company was also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 1.0% per annum on the unused portion of the facility.

The credit agreement contained typical affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with respect to minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage and minimum consolidated tangible net worth. A violation of any of these covenants could have resulted in a default under the credit agreement, which would have resulted in termination of all commitments under the credit agreement and all amounts owing under the credit agreement and certain other loan agreements becoming immediately due and payable.

Table of Contents

2011 Credit Facility

On January 31, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and lender, and the other lenders from time to time parties thereto. The amended credit agreement amended and restated in its entirety the Company’s previous Credit Agreement dated as of February 23, 2010, as previously amended. The amended credit agreement increased the commitment under the credit facility from $120.0 million to $200.0 million and extended the maturity date to January 31, 2016. Other than the expansion of the commitment and the extension of the maturity date, no other material terms of the previous Credit Agreement (as described above) were amended. Effective February 23, 2011, the commitment under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was further increased to $230.0 million.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had an available secured line of credit with a $230.0 million commitment and separate secured and unsecured letter of credit facilities of up to $82.5 million in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2011, there were no borrowings under the credit facility and $72.1 million of letters of credit had been issued under the letter of credit facilities.

Convertible Debt Offering

In June 2011, the Company completed a registered offering of $316.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% convertible senior notes (the "Notes"). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $308.3 million after the deduction of underwriting commissions and offering expenses. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to pay the Company’s cost of the convertible note hedge transactions described below, taking into account the proceeds to the Company of the warrant transactions described below, and used the balance of the net proceeds to repay existing outstanding debt.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company’s other senior unsecured debt. The Notes will be senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s debt which is subordinated by its terms to the Notes (if any). The Notes are also structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities and commitments (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Notes are also effectively subordinated to the Company’s secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt.

The Notes bear interest at 2.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash. The Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 34.1006 shares of Company common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $29.325 per share), subject to adjustment. Holders may convert their Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the second trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date only under the following circumstances: (i) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”), in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such day; or (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On and after March 15, 2018, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Unconverted Notes mature at par in June 2018.

Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock at the Company’s election. It is the Company’s current intent and policy to settle the principal amount of the Notes (or, if less, the amount of the conversion obligation) in cash upon conversion.

In addition, following certain corporate transactions, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert in connection with such transaction by a number of additional shares of common stock as set forth in the supplemental indenture governing the Notes.

Table of Contents

The Notes were issued in an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act).

In accordance with FASB guidance on the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial settlement), the liability and equity components are separated in a manner that will reflect the entity's non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest expense is recognized in subsequent periods.

The following represents the long-term debt and equity components of the Notes as of June 30, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

	June 30, 2011
Long-term debt
Principal	$	316,250
Unamortized discount		(78,806	)
Net carrying amount	$	237,444
Equity component	$	78,806

The Company is accreting the carrying value to the principal amount at maturity using an imputed interest rate of 7.5% (the estimated effective borrowing rate for nonconvertible debt at the time of issuance, Level 2) over its expected life of seven years.

As of June 30, 2011, the "if converted" value of the Notes does not exceed its principal amount.

The interest expense associated with the Notes (excluding amortization of the associated deferred financing costs) was as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2011
Coupon interest	$	392	$	392
Amortization of discount		—		—
Interest expense related to convertible notes	$	392	$	392

In connection with the offering of the Notes, in June 2011, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions (the “Convertible Note Hedges”) with certain financial institutions (the “Hedge Counterparties”). The Convertible Note Hedges cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, 10,784,315 shares of common stock. The Company also entered into warrant transactions with the Hedge Counterparties whereby the Company sold to the Hedge Counterparties warrants to acquire, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, up to 10,784,315 shares of common stock (the “Sold Warrant Transactions”). The warrants have a strike price of $40.25 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

The Convertible Note Hedges are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to common stock upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the price per share of common stock at the time of exercise is greater than the strike price of the Convertible Note Hedges, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes and is similarly subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. If, however, the price per share of common stock exceeds the strike price of the Sold Warrant Transactions when they expire, there would be additional dilution from the issuance of common stock pursuant to the warrants.

The Convertible Note Hedges and Sold Warrant Transactions are separate transactions (in each case entered into by the Company and Hedge Counterparties), are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not affect the holders’ rights under the Notes. Holders of the Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Convertible Note Hedges or the Sold Warrant Transactions.

Table of Contents

These hedging transactions had a net cost of approximately $31.9 million, which was paid from the proceeds of the Notes and recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. The Company has contractual rights, and, at execution of the related agreements, had the ability to settle its obligations under the conversion feature of the Notes, the Convertible Note Hedges and Sold Warrant Transactions, with the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, these transactions are accounted for as equity, with no subsequent adjustment for changes in the value of these obligations.

Financings

On March 29, 2011, the Company obtained a $28.0 million first mortgage loan, secured by the underlying community. The loan bears interest at a rate that has been effectively fixed at 5.49% by means of a swap instrument issued by the lender and matures in March 2016. In connection with the transaction, the Company repaid $28.0 million of existing variable rate debt.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repaid approximately $37.9 million of mortgage debt in connection with the release of entrance fee escrows on a newly opened entrance fee CCRC. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repaid $48.7 million of mortgage debt and moved the related assets into the credit line borrowing base and repaid $274.9 million of mortgage debt from the net proceeds of the convertible debt offering. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $15.3 million and $18.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, in connection with the early repayment of first and second mortgage notes.

On July 29, 2011, the Company obtained $437.8 million in loans pursuant to the terms of a Master Credit Facility Agreement. The loans are secured by first mortgages on 44 communities, and 75% of such loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% while the remaining 25% of such loans bear interest at a variable rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus a margin of 182 basis points. The loans mature on August 1, 2018 and require amortization of principal over a 30 year period. Proceeds of the loans, together with cash on hand, were used to refinance or prepay $445.2 million of mortgage debt which was scheduled to mature in February and August 2012.

The Master Credit Facility Agreement permits additional loans and substitution or release of mortgaged communities subject to loan-to-value and debt service coverage requirements. The Master Credit Facility Agreement also provides flexibility for expansion of, and repositioning of services provided at, the mortgaged communities subject to lender approval.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants of its outstanding debt and lease agreements.

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps

In the normal course of business, a variety of financial instruments are used to manage or hedge interest rate risk. Interest rate protection and swap agreements were entered into to effectively cap or convert floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, as well as to hedge anticipated future financing transactions. Pursuant to the hedge agreements, the Company may be required to secure its obligation to the counterparty if the fair value liability exceeds a specified threshold. Cash collateral pledged to the Company’s counterparties was $0.8 million as of June 30, 2011. No cash collateral was pledged as of December 31, 2010.

All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The change in mark-to-market of the value of the derivative is recorded as an adjustment to income or other comprehensive loss depending on whether it has been designated and qualifies as an accounting hedge.

Derivative contracts are not entered into for trading or speculative purposes. Furthermore, the Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other factors. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to replace a counterparty in the event that the counterparty does not maintain a specified credit rating.

This is included as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, five cap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $315.7 million matured. The Company also extended the maturity of 12 cap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $83.8 million, entered into a new cap agreement with a notional amount of $64.1 million and entered into a new swap agreement with a notional amount of $28.0 million.

9. Litigation

The Company has been and is currently involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of its business which are comparable to other companies in the senior living industry. Certain claims and lawsuits allege large damage amounts and may require significant costs to defend and resolve. Similarly, the senior living industry is continuously subject to scrutiny by governmental regulators, which could result in litigation related to regulatory compliance matters. As a result, the Company maintains insurance policies in amounts and with coverage and deductibles the Company believes are adequate, based on the nature and risks of its business, historical experience and industry standards. Effective January 1, 2010, the Company’s current policies provide for deductibles of $150,000 for each claim. Accordingly, the Company is, in effect, self-insured for claims that are less than $150,000.

13. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were (60.0%) and 35.8%, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were (3.5%) and 34.8%, respectively. The difference in the effective tax rate between these periods was primarily due to the Company’s decision to record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax benefit generated during the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The Company concluded that the additional benefits generated during the period did not meet the more likely than not criteria for realization. The conclusion was determined solely based on the reversal of current timing differences and did not consider future taxable income to be generated by the Company. The Company continues to maintain that the deferred tax assets recorded as of December 31, 2010, primarily related to net operating losses generated prior to December 31, 2010, are more likely than not to be realized based on the reversal of deferred tax liabilities also recorded as of December 31, 2010.

The Company recorded additional interest charges related to its tax contingency reserve for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Additionally, uncertain tax positions recorded in prior periods were reduced due to a change in estimate. Tax returns for years 2007, 2008 and 2009 are subject to future examination by tax authorities. In addition, certain tax returns are open from 2000 through 2006 to the extent of the net operating losses generated during those periods.

14. Fair Value Measurements

The following table provides the Company’s derivative liabilities and marketable securities - restricted carried at fair value as measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

	Total Carrying Value at June 30, 2011			Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)			Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Marketable securities - restricted	$	31,996		$	31,996	$	—		$	—
Derivative liabilities		(1,692	)		—		(1,692	)		—
	$	30,304		$	31,996	$	(1,692	)	$	—

The Company’s marketable securities - restricted include marketable securities that are recorded in the financial statements at fair value. The fair value is based primarily on quoted market prices and is classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Changes in fair value are recorded, net of tax, as other comprehensive income and included

Table of Contents

as a component of stockholders’ equity. The change in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was not material.

The Company’s derivative liabilities include interest rate swaps and caps that effectively convert a portion of the Company’s variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The derivative positions are valued using models developed internally by the respective counterparty that use as their basis readily observable market parameters (such as forward yield curves) and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

15. Segment Information

The Company currently has four reportable segments: retirement centers; assisted living; CCRCs; and management services. These segments were determined based on the way that the Company’s chief operating decision makers organize the Company’s business activities for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, four communities moved between segments to more accurately reflect the underlying product offering of each segment. The movement did not change the Company’s reportable segments, but it did impact the revenues and cost reported within each segment.

Retirement Centers. Retirement center communities are primarily designed for middle to upper income senior citizens age 70 and older who desire an upscale residential environment providing the highest quality of service. The majority of the Company’s retirement center communities consist of both independent living and assisted living units in a single community, which allows residents to “age-in-place” by providing them with a continuum of senior independent and assisted living services.

Assisted Living. Assisted living communities offer housing and 24-hour assistance with activities of daily life to mid-acuity frail and elderly residents. The Company’s assisted living communities include both freestanding, multi-story communities and freestanding single story communities. The Company also operates memory care communities, which are freestanding assisted living communities specially designed for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

CCRCs. CCRCs are large communities that offer a variety of living arrangements and services to accommodate all levels of physical ability and health. Most of the Company’s CCRCs have retirement centers, assisted living and skilled nursing available on one campus, and some also include memory care and Alzheimer’s units.

Management Services. The Company’s management services segment includes communities owned by others and operated by the Company pursuant to management agreements. Under the management agreements for these communities, the Company receives management fees as well as reimbursed expenses, which represent the reimbursement of certain expenses it incurs on behalf of the owners.

The accounting policies of reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Executive Overview

During the second quarter of 2011, we continued to make progress in implementing our long-term growth strategy, integrating previous acquisitions, and building a platform for future growth. Our primary long-term growth objectives are to grow our revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Cash From Facility Operations and Facility Operating Income primarily through a combination of: (i) organic growth in our core business, including expense control and the realization of economies of scale; (ii) continued expansion of our ancillary services programs (including therapy, home health and hospice services); (iii) expansion, redevelopment and repositioning of existing communities; and (iv) acquisition and consolidation of asset portfolios and other senior living companies. To that end, as described below under “Horizon Bay/HCP Transactions”, during the quarter, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interests in Horizon Bay Realty, L.L.C. ("Horizon Bay"), the ninth largest operator of senior living communities in the United States.

Our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were favorably impacted by an increase in our total revenues, primarily driven by an increase in average monthly revenue per unit, including an increase in our ancillary services revenue. Although we have made significant progress in many areas of our business, the difficult operating environment has continued to result in occupancy rates that are lower than historical levels and diminished growth in the rates we charge our residents.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we also continued our efforts to strengthen our financial position. For example, on January 31, 2011, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and lender, and the other lenders from time to time parties thereto. The amended credit agreement amended and restated our previous credit agreement. The amended credit agreement increased the commitment under the credit facility to $200.0 million and extended the maturity date to January 31, 2016. Effective February 23, 2011, the commitment under the amended credit agreement was further increased to $230.0 million. In addition, as described below under “Recent Financing Transactions”, during the second quarter we completed a registered offering of $316.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2018. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay a portion of our outstanding mortgage debt. As a result of our recent operating performance and the steps we have recently taken to improve our liquidity position, we ended the quarter with $40.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheet and $230.0 million of undrawn capacity on our revolving credit facility.

The tables below present a summary of our operating results and certain other financial metrics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the amount and percentage of increase or decrease of each applicable item (dollars in millions).

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Increase (Decrease)

Facility Operating Income	$	382.4		$	369.6		$	12.8		3.5	%

Adjusted EBITDA and Facility Operating Income are non-GAAP financial measures we use in evaluating our operating performance. Cash From Facility Operations is a non-GAAP financial measure we use in evaluating our liquidity. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for an explanation of how we define each of these measures, a detailed description of why we believe such measures are useful and the limitations of each measure, a reconciliation of net loss to each of Adjusted EBITDA and Facility Operating Income and a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Cash From Facility Operations.

Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $1.2 billion, an increase of $43.7 million, or 3.9%, over our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in revenues in the current year period was primarily a result of an increase in the average monthly revenue per unit compared to the prior year period, including growing revenues from our ancillary services programs. Our weighted average occupancy rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was 86.9% and 86.7%, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, our Adjusted EBITDA, Cash From Facility Operations and Facility Operating Income increased by 3.5%, 7.6% and 1.8%, respectively, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our Adjusted EBITDA, Cash From Facility Operations and Facility Operating Income increased by 5.1%, 10.5% and 3.5%, respectively, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we acquired the underlying real estate in 12 assisted living communities that we previously leased for an aggregate purchase price of $31.3 million. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, we acquired two assisted living communities, one of which we previously leased, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $19.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we also purchased three home health agencies for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.0 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we continued to expand our ancillary services offerings. As of June 30, 2011, we offered therapy services to over 38,500 of our units and home health services to over 31,000 of our units. We continue to see positive results from the maturation of previously-opened therapy and home health clinics. We also expect to continue to expand our ancillary services programs to additional units and to open or acquire additional home health agencies.

We believe that the deteriorating housing market and general economic uncertainty have caused some potential customers (or their adult children) to delay or reconsider moving into our communities, resulting in a decrease in occupancy rates and occupancy levels when compared to historical levels. We remain cautious about the economy and its effect on our customers and our business. In addition, we continue to experience volatility in the entrance fee portion of our business. The timing of entrance fee sales is subject to a number of different factors (including the ability of potential customers to sell their existing homes) and is also inherently subject to variability (positively or negatively) when measured over the short-term. These factors also impact our potential independent living customers to a significant extent. We expect occupancy and entrance fee sales to normalize over the longer term.

Horizon Bay/HCP Transactions

On May 31, 2011, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interests in Horizon Bay Realty. Upon completion of the Horizon Bay transaction, we will add to our portfolio 90 communities with over 16,000 units in 19 states.

Table of Contents

In connection with the transaction, we have entered into definitive agreements to restructure Horizon Bay's existing relationship with HCP, Inc. (“HCP”) relating to 33 communities that Horizon Bay currently leases from HCP. In particular, we will (i) form a joint venture with HCP to own and operate 21 communities, and (ii) lease the remaining 12 communities from HCP. The joint venture with HCP will utilize a RIDEA structure with us acquiring a 10% interest. We will manage the communities under a ten-year management agreement with four five-year renewal options and will retain all ancillary services operations. The 21-community portfolio has a total of 5,070 units (approximately 4,252 independent living, 736 assisted living, and 82 Alzheimer's/dementia care) and is primarily located in Florida, Texas, Illinois and Rhode Island.

We will lease 12 communities from HCP subject to long term, triple net leases. The leased portfolio has a total of 1,547 units (approximately 588 independent living, 578 assisted living, 225 Alzheimer's/dementia care and 156 skilled nursing units) and is primarily located in Texas and Rhode Island. In addition, Horizon Bay leases an additional community from HCP pursuant to a triple net lease and subleases that community to a third-party operator.

Horizon Bay provides management services to the remaining 57 Horizon Bay communities, which contain approximately 9,548 units, consisting of 5,445 independent living units, 3,011 assisted living units, 567 Alzheimer's/dementia care units and 525 skilled nursing beds in 15 states. Horizon Bay's primary third party management relationships are with Chartwell Seniors Housing Real Estate Investment Trust ("Chartwell") (45 communities, 6,420 units) and AEW Capital Management (three communities). As part of the transactions, we expect to simplify and restructure Horizon Bay's existing management relationships with Chartwell.

The consummation of each of the transactions is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions and contingencies, including the receipt of various third-party and regulatory approvals and consents. The transactions are expected to close on September 1, 2011, although there can be no assurance that the transactions will close or, if they do, when the actual closing will occur.

Recent Financing Transactions

In June 2011, we completed a registered offering of $316.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2018. We received net proceeds of approximately $276.4 million after the deduction of underwriting commissions, offering expenses and the net cost of the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions described in Note 8. We used the net proceeds to repay $274.9 million of outstanding mortgage debt.

On July 29, 2011, we obtained $437.8 million in loans pursuant to the terms of a Master Credit Facility Agreement. The loans are secured by first mortgages on 44 communities, and 75% of such loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% while the remaining 25% of such loans bear interest at a variable rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus a margin of 182 basis points. The loans mature on August 1, 2018 and require amortization of principal over a 30 year period. Proceeds of the loans, together with cash on hand, were used to refinance or prepay $445.2 million of mortgage debt which was scheduled to mature in February and August 2012.

Refundable entrance fee sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 include amounts received from residents participating in the MyChoice program, which allows new and existing residents the option to pay additional refundable entrance fee amounts in return for a reduced monthly service fee. MyChoice amounts received from residents totaled $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. My Choice amounts for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were not material.

(5)	Includes $2.2 million and $5.6 million of first generation entrance fee receipts (which represent initial entrance fees received from the sale of units at a newly opened entrance fee CCRC) during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

As of June 30, 2011, our total operations included 557 communities with a capacity of 51,021 units.

Resident Fees

Resident fees increased over the prior-year second quarter mainly due to an increase in average monthly revenue per unit during the current period, including an increase in our ancillary services revenue as we continue to roll out therapy and home health services to many of our communities, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy. During the current period, revenues grew 3.0% at the 532 communities we operated during both periods with a 4.0%

Table of Contents

increase in the average monthly revenue per unit (excluding amortization of entrance fees in both instances). Occupancy decreased 0.9% in these communities period over period.

Retirement Centers revenue decreased $3.4 million, or 2.5%, primarily due to the reclassification of three communities out of this segment and into the Assisted Living segment during the first quarter of the current year as well as the sale of three communities subsequent to the prior period. Additionally, occupancy at the communities we operated during both periods decreased slightly from the prior period. This amount was partially offset by increases in the average monthly revenue per unit, including an increase in our ancillary services revenue, at the communities we operated during both periods.

Assisted Living revenue increased $7.0 million, or 2.7%, primarily due to increases in the average monthly revenue per unit, including an increase in our ancillary services revenue. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in occupancy at the communities we operated during both periods.

CCRCs revenue increased $12.8 million, or 7.9%, primarily due to increases in the average monthly revenue per unit, including an increase in our ancillary services revenue, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy at the communities we operated during both periods.

Management Services

Management services revenue, including reimbursed costs incurred on behalf of managed communities, increased $1.4 million, or 7.9%, primarily due to increased occupancy at our managed communities period over period.

Facility Operating Expense

Facility operating expense increased over the prior-year period primarily due to an increase in salaries and wages, and additional current year expense incurred in connection with the continued expansion of our ancillary services programs during 2010 and 2011. These increases were partially offset by decreases in insurance expense related to changes in estimates and a decrease in lighting retrofit costs.

Retirement Centers operating expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 1.4%, primarily due to the reclassification of three communities out of this segment and into the Assisted Living segment during the first quarter of the current year as well as a decrease in lighting retrofit costs. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in expenses incurred in connection with the continued expansion of our ancillary services programs and increases in salaries and wages due to wage rate increases and an increase in hours worked period over period.

Assisted Living operating expenses increased $5.9 million, or 3.6%, primarily due to an increase in expenses incurred in connection with the continued expansion of our ancillary services programs, increased salaries and wages due to wage rate increases and an increase in hours worked period over period and the reclassification of three communities from the Retirement Centers segment into this segment during the first quarter of the current year. There were also increases in payroll taxes and workers compensation expense. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in insurance expense related to changes in estimates.

CCRCs operating expenses increased $8.3 million, or 7.4%, primarily due to an increase in expenses incurred in connection with the continued expansion of our ancillary services programs, as well as increased salaries and wages due to wage rate increases and an increase in hours worked period over period. There were also increases in health care supply expense and bad debt expense.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense increased $1.8 million, or 5.8%, as a result of increased payroll taxes, employee benefits and travel expenses, slightly offset by a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue, including revenue generated by the communities we manage and excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense and transaction-related costs, was 4.7% and 4.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, calculated as follows (dollars in thousands):

Facility Lease Expense

Lease expense decreased $1.1 million, or 1.7%, primarily due to the purchase of four leased communities and the non-renewal of two leased communities that occurred subsequent to the prior period.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $2.6 million, or 3.5%, primarily as a result of resident in-place lease intangibles and furniture and equipment becoming fully amortized subsequent to the prior period.

Costs Incurred on Behalf of Managed Communities

Costs incurred on behalf of managed communities increased $1.3 million, or 8.0%, primarily due to increased occupancy at our managed communities period over period.

Interest Income

Interest income increased $0.3 million, or 70.6%, primarily due to interest income earned on our restricted marketable securities.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $3.2 million, or 8.3%, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense recorded on our interest rate swaps due to the termination of interest rate swaps during the second half of 2010. Additionally, interest expense on our mortgage debt decreased due to lower average outstanding debt period over period.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt, net

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $15.3 million as a loss on extinguishment of debt, related to costs incurred in connection with the early repayment of first and second mortgage notes.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were (60.0%) and 35.8%, respectively. The difference in the effective tax rate between these periods was primarily due to our decision to record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax benefit generated during the three month period ended June 30, 2011. We concluded that the additional benefits generated during the period did not meet the more likely than not criteria for realization. The conclusion was determined solely based on the reversal of current timing differences and did not consider future taxable income to be generated. We continue to maintain that the deferred tax assets recorded as

Table of Contents

of December 31, 2010, primarily related to net operating losses generated prior to December 31, 2010, are more likely than not to be realized based on the reversal of deferred tax liabilities also recorded as of December 31, 2010.

An additional interest charge related to our tax contingency reserve was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Tax returns for years 2007, 2008 and 2009 are subject to future examination by tax authorities. In addition, certain tax returns are open from 2000 through 2006 to the extent of the net operating losses generated during those periods.

Resident Fees

Resident fees increased over the prior-year period mainly due to an increase in average monthly revenue per unit during the current period, including an increase in our ancillary services revenue as we continue to roll out therapy and home health services to many of our communities. These increases were slightly offset by a decline in owned/leased units due to the sale of communities subsequent to the prior period.

Occupancy decreased 0.4% in these communities period over period.

Retirement Centers revenue decreased $6.4 million, or 2.4%, due to the reclassification of three communities out of this segment and into the Assisted Living segment during the current period as well as the sale of three communities subsequent to the prior period.

Facility Operating Expense

Facility operating expense increased over the prior-year period primarily due to an increase in salaries and wages, and additional current year expense incurred in connection with the continued expansion of our ancillary services programs during 2010 and 2011. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in real estate tax expense related to changes in estimates.

Lease expense decreased $3.0 million, or 2.2%, primarily due to the purchase of four leased communities and the non-renewal of two leased communities that occurred subsequent to the prior period.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $3.9 million, or 2.6%, primarily as a result of resident in-place lease intangibles and furniture and equipment becoming fully amortized subsequent to the prior period.

Asset Impairment

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $14.8 million of non-cash impairment charges related to asset impairments for property, plant and equipment and leasehold intangibles for certain communities within the Retirement Centers and Assisted Living segments. We compared the estimated fair value of the assets to their carrying value and recorded an impairment charge for the excess of carrying value over estimated fair value.

Table of Contents

Costs Incurred on Behalf of Managed Communities

Costs incurred on behalf of managed communities increased $2.2 million, or 6.7%, primarily due to increased occupancy at our managed communities period over period.

Interest Income

Interest income increased $0.3 million, or 29.4%, primarily due to interest income earned on our restricted marketable securities.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $7.4 million, or 9.7%, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense recorded on our interest rate swaps due to the termination of interest rate swaps during the second half of 2010 as well as a decrease in interest expense recorded from the change in fair value of interest rate swaps and caps due to the greater utilization of interest rate caps in the current period versus interest rate swaps in the prior period as the value of the interest rate caps are less sensitive to changes in the LIBOR index. Additionally, interest expense on our mortgage debt decreased due to lower average outstanding debt period over period.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt, net

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $18.1 million as a loss on extinguishment of debt, related to costs incurred in connection with the early repayment of first and second mortgage notes.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were (3.5%) and 34.8%, respectively. The difference in the effective tax rate between these periods was primarily due to our decision to record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax benefit generated during the six month period ended June 30, 2011. We concluded that the additional benefits generated during the period did not meet the more likely than not criteria for realization. The conclusion was determined solely based on the reversal of current timing differences and did not consider future taxable income to be generated. We continue to maintain that the deferred tax assets recorded as of December 31, 2010, primarily related to net operating losses generated prior to December 31, 2010, are more likely than not to be realized based on the reversal of deferred tax liabilities also recorded as of December 31, 2010.

An additional interest charge related to our tax contingency reserve was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Additionally, uncertain tax positions recorded in prior periods were reduced due to a change in estimate. Tax returns for years 2007, 2008 and 2009 are subject to future examination by tax authorities. In addition, certain tax returns are open from 2000 through 2006 to the extent of the net operating losses generated during those periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following is a summary of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (dollars in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010
Cash provided by operating activities	$	157,352		$	114,771
Cash used in investing activities		(66,737	)		(102,544	)
Cash used in financing activities		(132,316	)		(27,252	)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents		(41,701	)		(15,025	)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		81,827			66,370
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	40,126		$	51,345

Table of Contents

The increase in cash provided by operating activities was attributable primarily to increased cash provided by changes in working capital and, to a lesser extent, improved operating results.

The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to the release of escrow on a newly opened entrance fee CCRC. The escrowed funds were used to repay debt outstanding on the community. Additionally, there was an increase in cash received from the proceeds from the sale of assets. The decrease was partially offset by cash paid for acquisitions in the current period and an increase in spending on property, plant, equipment and leasehold intangibles period over period.

The increase in cash used in financing activities period over period was primarily attributable to an increase in net repayments of debt period over period including the repayment of debt on a newly opened CCRC when entrance fees originally escrowed were released in accordance with state regulations as well as repayments of debt from proceeds received in connection with the convertible debt offering in June 2011. Additionally, there was an increase in the cash portion of the loss on extinguishment of debt in the current period. The increase was partially offset by net cash received from the current period convertible debt offering.

Our principal sources of liquidity have historically been from:

cash balances on hand;

cash flows from operations;

proceeds from our credit facilities;

proceeds from mortgage financing or refinancing of various assets;

funds generated through joint venture arrangements or sale-leaseback transactions; and

with somewhat lesser frequency, funds raised in the debt or equity markets and proceeds from the selective disposition of underperforming assets.

Over the longer-term, we expect to continue to fund our business through these principal sources of liquidity.

Our liquidity requirements have historically arisen from:

working capital;

operating costs such as employee compensation and related benefits, general and administrative expense and supply costs;

debt service and lease payments;

acquisition consideration and transaction costs;

cash collateral required to be posted in connection with our interest rate swaps and related financial instruments;

capital expenditures and improvements, including the expansion of our current communities and the development of new communities;

dividend payments;

purchases of common stock under our previous share repurchase authorization; and

other corporate initiatives (including integration and branding).

Over the near-term, we expect that our liquidity requirements will primarily arise from:

working capital;

operating costs such as employee compensation and related benefits, general and administrative expense and supply costs;

debt service and lease payments;

capital expenditures and improvements, including the expansion, redevelopment and repositioning of our current communities and the development of new communities;

other corporate initiatives (including information systems);

acquisition consideration and transaction costs; and

Table of Contents

to a lesser extent, cash collateral required to be posted in connection with our interest rate swaps and related financial instruments.

We are highly leveraged and have significant debt and lease obligations. We have three principal corporate-level debt obligations: our $230.0 million revolving credit facility, our $316.3 million convertible senior notes due 2018 and separate secured and unsecured letter of credit facilities providing for up to $82.5 million of letters of credit in the aggregate. The remainder of our indebtedness is generally comprised of non-recourse property-level mortgage financings.

At June 30, 2011, we had $2.1 billion of debt outstanding, excluding capital lease obligations, at a weighted-average interest rate of 3.65%. At June 30, 2011, we had $362.4 million of capital and financing lease obligations and $72.1 million of letters of credit had been issued under our letter of credit facilities. No borrowings were outstanding on our revolving loan facility at June 30, 2011. Approximately $33.9 million of our debt and capital lease obligations are due on or before June 30, 2012. We also have substantial operating lease obligations and capital expenditure requirements. For the year ending June 30, 2012, we will be required to make approximately $266.7 million of payments in connection with our existing operating leases.

We had $40.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2011, excluding cash and escrow deposits-restricted and lease security deposits of $122.6 million.

In 2009, we began replacing some of our outstanding letters of credit with restricted cash in order to reduce our letter of credit needs.

At June 30, 2011, we had $321.5 million of negative working capital, which includes the classification of $237.7 million of refundable entrance fees and $8.9 million in tenant deposits as current liabilities. Based upon our historical operating experience, we anticipate that only 9.0% to 12.0% of those entrance fee liabilities will actually come due, and be required to be settled in cash, during the next 12 months. We expect that any entrance fee liabilities due within the next 12 months will be fully offset by the proceeds generated by subsequent entrance fee sales. Entrance fee sales, net of refunds paid, provided $8.1 million and $15.6 million of cash for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

For the year ending December 31, 2011, we anticipate that we will make investments of approximately $125.0 million to $140.0 million for capital expenditures, comprised of approximately $35.0 million to $40.0 million of net recurring capital expenditures and approximately $90.0 million to $100.0 million of expenditures relating to other major projects (including corporate initiatives). These major projects include unusual or non-recurring capital projects, projects which create new or enhanced economics, such as major renovations or repositioning projects at our communities, integration related expenditures (including the cost of developing information systems), and expenditures supporting the expansion of our ancillary services programs. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we spent approximately $16.3 million for net recurring capital expenditures and approximately $38.0 million for expenditures relating to other major projects and corporate initiatives.

In addition, during 2011, we plan on increasing our efforts with respect to the expansion, redevelopment and repositioning of our communities through our Program Max initiative. We anticipate making net investments of approximately $70.0 million to $100.0 million over the next 12 to 18 months in connection with recently initiated or currently planned projects. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we spent approximately $12.0 million in connection with our Program Max initiative.

During 2011, we anticipate that our capital expenditures will be funded from cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and amounts drawn on our credit facility.

As opportunities arise, we plan to continue to take advantage of the fragmented continuing care, independent living and assisted living sectors by selectively purchasing existing operating companies, asset portfolios, home health agencies and communities. We may also seek to acquire the fee interest in communities that we currently lease or manage.

Table of Contents

In the normal course of business, we use a variety of financial instruments to mitigate interest rate risk. We have entered into certain interest rate protection and swap agreements to effectively cap or convert floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis. Pursuant to certain of our hedge agreements, we are required to secure our obligation to the counterparty by posting cash or other collateral if the fair value liability exceeds specified thresholds. In periods of significant volatility in the credit markets, the value of these swaps can change significantly and as a result, the amount of collateral we are required to post can change significantly. We have taken a number of steps to reduce our collateral posting risk. In particular, we terminated a number of interest rate swaps and purchased and assumed a number of interest rate caps, which do not require the posting of cash collateral. Furthermore, we obtained a number of swaps that were secured by underlying mortgaged assets and, hence, did not require cash collateralization. As of June 30, 2011, we have $693.9 million in aggregate notional amount of interest rate caps and a $27.9 million notional amount swap that do not require cash collateralization and a $150.0 million notional amount swap which does require cash collateralization. $871.9 million of our variable rate debt, excluding our secured line of credit and capital lease obligations, is currently subject to a cap or swap agreement.

We expect to continue to assess our financing alternatives periodically and access the capital markets opportunistically. If our existing resources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, or if we enter into an acquisition or strategic arrangement with another company, we may need to sell additional equity or debt securities. Any such sale of additional equity securities will dilute the interests of our existing stockholders, and we cannot be certain that additional public or private financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all (particularly given current market conditions). If we are unable to obtain this additional financing, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more aspects of our business development activities, any of which could reduce the growth of our business.

We currently estimate that our existing cash flows from operations, together with existing working capital, amounts available under our credit facility and, to a lesser extent, proceeds from anticipated financings and refinancings of various assets, will be sufficient to fund our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months, assuming that the overall economy does not substantially deteriorate further.

Our actual liquidity and capital funding requirements depend on numerous factors, including our operating results, the actual level of capital expenditures, our expansion, development and acquisition activity, general economic conditions and the cost of capital. Shortfalls in cash flows from operating results or other principal sources of liquidity may have an adverse impact on our ability to execute our business and growth strategies. The current volatility in the credit and financial markets may also have an adverse impact on our liquidity by making it more difficult for us to obtain financing or refinancing. As a result, this may impact our ability to grow our business, maintain capital spending levels, expand certain communities, or execute other aspects of our business strategy. In order to continue some of these activities at historical or planned levels, we may incur additional indebtedness or lease financing to provide additional funding. There can be no assurance that any such additional financing will be available or on terms that are acceptable to us (particularly in light of current adverse conditions in the credit market).

As of June 30, 2011, we are in compliance with the financial covenants of our outstanding debt and lease agreements.

Credit Facilities

2010 Credit Facility

Effective February 23, 2010, we entered into a credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and lender, and the other lenders from time to time parties thereto. The facility had an initial commitment of $100.0 million, with an option to increase the commitment to $120.0 million (which we exercised on May 5, 2010), and was scheduled to mature on June 30, 2013.

The revolving line of credit could be used to finance acquisitions and fund working capital and capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.

Table of Contents

The facility was secured by a first priority lien on certain of our communities. The availability under the line could vary from time to time as it was based on borrowing base calculations related to the value and performance of the communities securing the facility.

Amounts drawn under the facility bore interest at 90-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as described below. For purposes of determining the interest rate, in no event would LIBOR be less than 2.0%. The applicable margin varied with the percentage of the total commitment drawn, with a 4.5% margin at 35% or lower utilization, a 5.0% margin at utilization greater than 35% but less than or equal to 50%, and a 5.5% margin at greater than 50% utilization. We were also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 1.0% per annum on the unused portion of the facility.

2011 Credit Facility

On January 31, 2011, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and lender, and the other lenders from time to time parties thereto. The amended credit agreement amended and restated in its entirety our existing credit agreement dated as of February 23, 2010, as previously amended. The amended credit agreement increased the commitment under the credit facility from $120.0 million to $200.0 million and extended the maturity date to January 31, 2016. Other than the expansion of the commitment and the extension of the maturity date, no other material terms of the previous credit agreement (as described above) were amended. Effective February 23, 2011, the commitment under the amended and restated credit agreement was further increased to $230.0 million.

As of June 30, 2011, we had an available secured line of credit with a $230.0 million commitment and separate secured and unsecured letter of credit facilities of up to $82.5 million in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2011, there were no borrowings under the revolving loan facility and $72.1 million of letters of credit had been issued under the letter of credit facilities.

Contractual Commitments

Significant ongoing commitments consist primarily of leases, debt, purchase commitments and certain other long-term liabilities. For a summary and complete presentation and description of our ongoing commitments and contractual obligations, see the “Contractual Commitments” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

There have been no material changes in our contractual commitments during the six months ended June 30, 2011 other than with respect to the repayment of mortgage debt, the issuance of convertible notes and the change in maturity dates related to the refinancing transactions that were completed during the period (Note 8). Our total long-term debt obligations increased by $56.2 million to $2,663.7 million at June 30, 2011 from $2,607.5 million at December 31, 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The equity method of accounting has been applied in the accompanying financial statements with respect to our investment in unconsolidated ventures that are not considered variable interest entities as we do not possess a controlling financial interest. We do not believe these off-balance sheet arrangements have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Table of Contents

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure. In this report, we define and use the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA, Cash From Facility Operations and Facility Operating Income, as set forth below.

Adjusted EBITDA

Definition of Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Net income (loss) before:

provision (benefit) for income taxes;

non-operating (income) expense items;

(gain) loss on sale of communities (including facility lease termination expense);

depreciation and amortization (including non-cash impairment charges);

straight-line lease expense (income);

amortization of deferred gain;

amortization of deferred entrance fees;

non-cash stock-based compensation expense; and

change in future service obligation;

and including:

entrance fee receipts and refunds (excluding first generation entrance fee receipts on a newly opened entrance fee CCRC).

Management’s Use of Adjusted EBITDA

We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our overall financial and operating performance. We believe this non-GAAP measure, as we have defined it, is helpful in identifying trends in our day-to-day performance because the items excluded have little or no significance on our day-to-day operations. This measure provides an assessment of controllable expenses and affords management the ability to make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as achieve optimal financial performance. It provides an indicator for management to determine if adjustments to current spending decisions are needed.

Adjusted EBITDA provides us with a measure of financial performance, independent of items that are beyond the control of management in the short-term, such as the change in the liability for the obligation to provide future services under existing lifecare contracts, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash impairment charges), straight-line lease expense (income), taxation and interest expense associated with our capital structure. This metric measures our financial performance based on operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely the cost structure or expenses of the organization. Adjusted EBITDA is one of the metrics used by senior management and the board of directors to review the financial performance of the business on a monthly basis.

Table of Contents

Adjusted EBITDA is also used by research analysts and investors to evaluate the performance of and value companies in our industry.

Limitations of Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. It should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures of earnings. Material limitations in making the adjustments to our earnings to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, and using this non-GAAP financial measure as compared to GAAP net income (loss), include:

the cash portion of interest expense, income tax (benefit) provision and non-recurring charges related to gain (loss) on sale of communities and extinguishment of debt activities generally represent charges (gains), which may significantly affect our financial results; and

depreciation and amortization, though not directly affecting our current cash position, represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of our communities, which affects the services we provide to our residents and may be indicative of future needs for capital expenditures.

An investor or potential investor may find this item important in evaluating our performance, results of operations and financial position. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.

Adjusted EBITDA is not an alternative to net income, income from operations or cash flows provided by or used in operations as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should not rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a substitute for any such GAAP financial measure. We strongly urge you to review the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss), along with our consolidated financial statements included herein. We also strongly urge you to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, the Adjusted EBITDA measure, as presented in this report, may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The table below shows the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (dollars in thousands):

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA includes transaction-related costs of $0.9 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

(2)

Includes the receipt of refundable and non-refundable entrance fees.

(3)

First generation entrance fees received represents initial entrance fees received from the sale of units at a newly opened entrance fee CCRC.

Cash From Facility Operations

Definition of Cash From Facility Operations

We define Cash From Facility Operations (CFFO) as follows:

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities adjusted for:

changes in operating assets and liabilities;

deferred interest and fees added to principal;

refundable entrance fees received;

first generation entrance fee receipts on a newly opened entrance fee CCRC;

entrance fee refunds disbursed;

lease financing debt amortization with fair market value or no purchase options;

facility lease termination expense;

Table of Contents

recurring capital expenditures;

distributions from unconsolidated ventures from cumulative share of net earnings;

Cash From Facility Operations from unconsolidated ventures; and

other.

Recurring capital expenditures include routine expenditures capitalized in accordance with GAAP that are funded from current operations. Amounts excluded from recurring capital expenditures consist primarily of major projects, renovations, community repositionings, expansions, systems projects or other non-recurring or unusual capital items (including integration capital expenditures) or community purchases that are funded using lease or financing proceeds, available cash and/or proceeds from the sale of communities that are held for sale.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, we revised the definition of Cash From Facility Operations to exclude distributions from unconsolidated ventures from cumulative share of net earnings and include our proportionate share (based on equity ownership percentages) of the Cash From Facility Operations generated by our unconsolidated ventures. This impact is included in the Cash From Facility Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Due to immateriality, the prior periods have not been restated.

Management’s Use of Cash From Facility Operations

We use CFFO to assess our overall liquidity. This measure provides an assessment of controllable expenses and affords management the ability to make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial and liquidity goals as well as to achieve optimal financial performance. It provides an indicator for management to determine if adjustments to current spending decisions are needed.

This metric measures our liquidity based on operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely the cost structure or expenses of the organization. CFFO is one of the metrics used by our senior management and board of directors (i) to review our ability to service our outstanding indebtedness (including our credit facilities and long-term leases), (ii) to review our ability to pay dividends to stockholders, (iii) to review our ability to make regular recurring capital expenditures to maintain and improve our communities on a period-to-period basis, (iv) for planning purposes, including preparation of our annual budget, (v) in making compensation determinations for certain of our associates (including our named executive officers) and (vi) in setting various covenants in our credit agreements. These agreements generally require us to escrow or spend a minimum of between $250 and $450 per unit per year. Historically, we have spent in excess of these per unit amounts; however, there is no assurance that we will have funds available to escrow or spend these per unit amounts in the future. If we do not escrow or spend the required minimum annual amounts, we would be in default of the applicable debt or lease agreement which could trigger cross default provisions in our outstanding indebtedness and lease arrangements.

Limitations of Cash From Facility Operations

CFFO has limitations as an analytical tool. It should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures of cash flow from operations. CFFO does not represent cash available for dividends or discretionary expenditures, since we may have mandatory debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures not reflected in the measure. Material limitations in making the adjustment to our cash flow from operations to calculate CFFO, and using this non-GAAP financial measure as compared to GAAP operating cash flows, include:

Table of Contents

We believe CFFO is useful to investors because it assists their ability to meaningfully evaluate (1) our ability to service our outstanding indebtedness, including our credit facilities and capital and financing leases, (2) our ability to pay dividends to stockholders and (3) our ability to make regular recurring capital expenditures to maintain and improve our communities.

CFFO is not an alternative to cash flows provided by or used in operations as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should not rely on CFFO as a substitute for any such GAAP financial measure. We strongly urge you to review the reconciliation of CFFO to GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, along with our consolidated financial statements included herein. We also strongly urge you to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In addition, because CFFO is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, the CFFO measure, as presented in this report, may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The table below shows the reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to CFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (dollars in thousands):

Facility Operating Income

Definition of Facility Operating Income

We define Facility Operating Income as follows:

Net income (loss) before:

provision (benefit) for income taxes;

Table of Contents

non-operating (income) expense items;

(gain) loss on sale of communities (including facility lease termination expense);

depreciation and amortization (including non-cash impairment charges);

facility lease expense;

general and administrative expense, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense;

change in future service obligation;

amortization of deferred entrance fee revenue; and

management fees.

Management’s Use of Facility Operating Income

We use Facility Operating Income to assess our facility operating performance. We believe this non-GAAP measure, as we have defined it, is helpful in identifying trends in our day-to-day facility performance because the items excluded have little or no significance on our day-to-day facility operations. This measure provides an assessment of revenue generation and expense management and affords management the ability to make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as to achieve optimal facility financial performance. It provides an indicator for management to determine if adjustments to current spending decisions are needed.

Facility Operating Income provides us with a measure of facility financial performance, independent of items that are beyond the control of management in the short-term, such as the change in the liability for the obligation to provide future services under existing lifecare contracts, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash impairment charges), straight-line lease expense (income), taxation and interest expense associated with our capital structure. This metric measures our facility financial performance based on operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely the cost structure or expenses of the organization. Facility Operating Income is one of the metrics used by our senior management and board of directors to review the financial performance of the business on a monthly basis. Facility Operating Income is also used by research analysts and investors to evaluate the performance of and value companies in our industry by investors, lenders and lessors. In addition, Facility Operating Income is a common measure used in the industry to value the acquisition or sales price of communities and is used as a measure of the returns expected to be generated by a community.

A number of our debt and lease agreements contain covenants measuring Facility Operating Income to gauge debt or lease coverages. The debt or lease coverage covenants are generally calculated as facility net operating income (defined as total operating revenue less operating expenses, all as determined on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP). For purposes of the coverage calculation, the lender or lessor will further require a pro forma adjustment to facility operating income to include a management fee (generally 4% to 5% of operating revenue) and an annual capital reserve (generally $250 to $450 per unit). An investor or potential investor may find this item important in evaluating our performance, results of operations and financial position, particularly on a facility-by-facility basis.

Limitations of Facility Operating Income

Facility Operating Income has limitations as an analytical tool. It should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures of earnings. Material limitations in making the adjustments to our earnings to calculate Facility Operating Income, and using this non-GAAP financial measure as compared to GAAP net income (loss), include:

Table of Contents

interest expense, income tax (benefit) provision and non-recurring charges related to gain (loss) on sale of communities and extinguishment of debt activities generally represent charges (gains), which may significantly affect our financial results; and

An investor or potential investor may find this item important in evaluating our performance, results of operations and financial position on a facility-by-facility basis. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.

Facility Operating Income is not an alternative to net income, income from operations or cash flows provided by or used in operations as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should not rely on Facility Operating Income as a substitute for any such GAAP financial measure. We strongly urge you to review the reconciliation of Facility Operating Income to GAAP net income (loss), along with our consolidated financial statements included herein. We also strongly urge you to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In addition, because Facility Operating Income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, the Facility Operating Income measure, as presented in this report, may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The table below shows the reconciliation of net loss to Facility Operating Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (dollars in thousands):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to market risks from changes in interest rates charged on our credit facilities, other floating-rate indebtedness and lease payments subject to floating rates. The impact on earnings and the value of our long-term debt and lease payments are subject to change as a result of movements in market rates and prices. As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately $1.1 billion of long-term fixed rate debt, $1.0 billion of long-term variable rate debt

Table of Contents

and $362.4 million of capital and financing lease obligations. As of June 30, 2011, our total fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt outstanding had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.65%.

We enter into certain interest rate swap agreements with major financial institutions to manage our risk on variable rate debt. Additionally, we have entered into certain cap agreements to effectively manage our risk above certain interest rates. As of June 30, 2011, $1.3 billion, or 61.6%, of our debt, excluding capital and financing lease obligations, either has fixed rates or variable rates that are subject to swap agreements. As of June 30, 2011, $693.9 million, or 33.7%, of our debt, excluding capital and financing lease obligations, is subject to cap agreements. The remaining $97.6 million, or 4.7%, of our debt is variable rate debt, not subject to any cap or swap agreements. A change in interest rates would have impacted our interest rate expense related to all outstanding variable rate debt, excluding our secured line of credit and capital and financing lease obligations, as follows: a one, five and ten percent increase in interest rates would have an impact of $7.1 million, $38.2 million and $49.9 million, respectively.

As noted above, we have entered into certain interest rate protection and swap agreements to effectively cap or convert floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, as well as to hedge anticipated future financing transactions. Pursuant to certain of our hedge agreements, we are required to secure our obligation to the counterparty by posting cash or other collateral if the fair value liability exceeds a specified threshold.
