Activities for the 2009 Year:
In February and September 2009, we issued 5.9 million and 6.9 million
common shares in public offerings, raising net proceeds of approximately
$96.7 million and $127.2 million, respectively. We used the net proceeds
from these offerings to repay borrowings outstanding on our revolving
credit facility, to fund the acquisitions of senior living properties
and medical office, clinic and biotech laboratory buildings, or MOBs,
acquired during 2009 and for general business purposes.
In August 2009, we closed a $512.9 million mortgage financing with the
Federal National Mortgage Association (NYSE: FNM). This 10 year loan is
secured by first liens on 28 senior living properties leased to Five
Star Quality Care, Inc. (NYSE Amex: FVE), or Five Star, with 5,618
living units located in 16 states. We used the proceeds from this
mortgage financing to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving
credit facility, to purchase seven MOBs we had previously agreed to buy
from HRPT Properties Trust (NYSE: HRP) and to acquire 10 MOBs and one
senior living property from two unaffiliated parties as described below.
In connection with the FNM transaction, we realigned our four leases
with Five Star. Lease No. 1 now covers 89 properties, including
independent living communities, assisted living communities and skilled
nursing facilities, and expires in 2024. Lease No. 2 now covers 49
properties, including independent living communities, assisted living
communities, skilled nursing facilities and two rehabilitation
hospitals, and expires in 2026. Lease No. 3 now covers the 28 FNM
financed properties, including independent living communities and
assisted living communities, and expires in 2028. Lease No. 4 now covers
26 properties, including independent living communities, assisted living
communities and skilled nursing facilities, and expires in 2017.
In September 2009, we acquired 10 MOBs with a total of 643,000 square
feet for approximately $169.0 million, excluding closing costs, from an
unaffiliated party. These buildings are currently 100% leased to Aurora
Health Care Inc., one of the largest not for profit hospital and health
care providers in Wisconsin, for a lease term of 15 years plus renewal
options. We funded this acquisition using cash on hand and proceeds from
our September equity offering and FNM mortgage financing.
During the fourth quarter 2009, we acquired 11 senior living properties
with a total of 870 units for approximately $116.8 million, excluding
closing costs, from three unaffiliated parties. We leased these
properties to Five Star for initial rent of $10.3 million per year.
Percentage rent, based on increases in gross revenues at these
properties, will commence in 2011. We funded these acquisitions using
cash on hand, the remaining proceeds from our September equity offering
and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Also during the fourth quarter 2009, we sold two skilled nursing
facilities to two unaffiliated parties for $1.9 million. These two
properties had been leased to Five Star.
In January 2010, we agreed to acquire, from an unaffiliated party, a MOB
with 14,695 rentable square feet for approximately $4.5 million,
excluding closing costs. We expect to fund this acquisition using cash
on hand, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and assuming the
existing mortgage loan on the property. The purchase of this property is
contingent upon completion of our diligence and other customary closing
conditions. We can provide no assurance that we will purchase this
property.
In December 2009, SNH became a component of the S&P 400 MidCap Index and
in June 2009, SNH became a component of the Russell 1000 Index.

(1) We compute FFO as shown above. Our calculation of FFO differs from
the definition of FFO by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts because we include deferred percentage rent, if any,
exclude impairment of assets, if any, and exclude acquisition costs, if
any. We consider FFO to be an appropriate measure of performance for a
REIT, along with net income and cash flow from operating, investing and
financing activities. We believe that FFO provides useful information to
investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical
amounts, such as depreciation expense, acquisition costs and gain or
loss on sale of properties, FFO can facilitate a comparison of operating
performances by a REIT over time and among REITs. FFO does not represent
cash generated by operating activities in accordance with 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.
Also, other REITs may not calculate FFO the same way as we do.
(2) Commencing January 1, 2009, acquisition costs are expensed under The
Business Combinations Topic of the Codification.
(3) During the quarters ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we recognized
an impairment of assets charge of $4.3 million related to three
properties and $5.4 million related to three properties, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we recognized an
impairment of assets charge of $15.5 million related to 11 properties
and $8.4 million related to four properties, respectively.
(4) Our percentage rents are generally calculated on an annual basis. We
recognize percentage rental income received during the first, second and
third quarters in the fourth quarter when all contingencies related to
percentage rents are satisfied. Although recognition of revenue is
deferred until the fourth quarter, our FFO calculation for the first
three quarters includes estimated amounts of deferred percentage rents
with respect to those periods. The fourth quarter calculation of FFO
excludes the amounts recognized during the first three quarters.
