1. During 2001, SNH operated facilities for its own account through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Five Star Quality Care, Inc. On December 31, 2001, SNH spun off Five Star to SNH's shareholders and entered a lease with Five Star for these properties. These operations had been repossessed from former tenants. As a result of these repossessions and the subsequent spin off of Five Star, SNH incurred certain non-recurring general and administrative expenses during 2001, which are separately identified in the preceding financial information.

2. One of SNH's leases which began in January 2002 provides that a percentage of revenues at the leased properties be escrowed for future capital expenditures at the leased properties. Effective October 1, 2002, SNH entered into an agreement to amend the lease pursuant to which its tenant, Five Star, retains title to the FF&E escrow accounts while SNH has security and remainder interests in the escrow accounts. Accordingly, effective October 1, 2002, revenues and net income recorded by SNH no longer include FF&E reserve income. In order to facilitate comparison of FFO with historical results, the historical FFO presentation for the year ended December 31, 2002, eliminates FF&E reserve income.

3. During the fourth quarter of 2002, SNH sold a property which had been closed by one of its tenants earlier in the year. The sold property was combined in one lease with other properties operated by the same tenant. Under the terms of the lease, the rent payable on the combined lease was reduced by 10% of the net proceeds received by SNH from the sale. In the second quarter of 2002 SNH classified this property as an asset held for sale and recorded a loss from discontinued operations, which included historical depreciation expense as well as an impairment loss write-down of $2.5 million. The sales proceeds received by SNH in the fourth quarter of 2002 exceeded the net book value of the property at the time of the sale, resulting in income from discontinued operations. For the 2001 periods, amounts were reclassified from depreciation expense and facilities' operations revenues and expenses to the loss from discontinued operations.

4. SNH computes FFO as shown in the calculation above. SNH considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of performance for a REIT, along with net income and cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities because it provides investors with an indication of a REIT's operating performance and its ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures, pay distributions and fund other cash needs. FFO does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance or liquidity. FFO is one important factor considered by SNH's Board of Trustees in determining the amount of distributions to shareholders.

5. The Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 generally requires SNH to recognize percentage rental income received for the first, second and third quarters in the fourth quarter. Although recognition of revenue was deferred until the fourth quarter of each year presented for purposes of calculating net income, the calculations of FFO included these amounts during the first three quarters.

All tenant operating statistics are calculated based upon the periods ended December 31, 2002 operating results or the most recent tenant operating results available to SNH.
