NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unaudited

June 30, 2008

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Overview:

We have one reportable segment consisting of investments in real estate (see Note 11- Subsequent Event). Our business is to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on skilled nursing facilities located in the United States. Our core portfolio consists of long-term lease and mortgage agreements. All of our leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. Our mortgage revenue derives from fixed-rate mortgage loans, which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and personal property of the mortgagor. Substantially all depreciation expenses reflected in the consolidated statements of operations relate to the ownership of our investment in real estate.

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega” or the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Omega, all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries and one variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation of the financial statements.

Reclassifications:

Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation and to reflect the results of discontinued operations. See Note 9 – Discontinued Operations for a discussion of discontinued operations. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported earnings or equity.

Accounts Receivables:

Accounts receivable includes: contractual receivables, straight-line rent receivables, lease inducements, net of an estimated provision for losses related to uncollectible and disputed accounts. Contractual receivables relate to the amounts currently owed to us under the terms of the lease agreement. Straight-line receivables relates to the difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and the amounts due to us contractually. Lease inducements result from value provided by us to the lessee at the inception of the lease and will be amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term. On a quarterly basis, we review the collection of our contractual payments and determine the appropriateness of our allowance for uncollectible contractual rents. In the case of a lease recognized on a straight-line basis, we generally provide an allowance for straight-line accounts receivable when certain conditions or indicators of adverse collectibility are present.

-5-

A summary of our net receivables by type is as follows:

	June 30, 2008			December 31, 2007
	(in thousands)

Contractual receivables	$	5,771		$	5,517
Straight-line receivables		36,242			34,537
Lease inducements		26,328			27,965
Allowance		(2,174	)		(3,027	)
Accounts receivable – net	$	66,167		$	64,992

During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a $4.3 million provision for uncollectible accounts receivable associated with Haven Eldercare, LLC (“Haven”) receivables. The $4.3 million charge consisted of $3.3 million to write off straight-line receivables and $1.0 million to establish an allowance for pre-petition contractual receivables associated with one of our tenants.

We continuously evaluate the payment history and financial strength of our operators and have historically established allowance reserves for straight-line rent adjustments for operators that do not meet our requirements. We consider factors such as payment history, the operator’s financial condition as well as current and future anticipated operating trends when evaluating whether to establish allowance reserves.

Implementation of New Accounting Pronouncement:

FAS 157 Evaluation

On January 1, 2008, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”), Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS No. 157”). This standard defines fair value, establishes a methodology for measuring fair value and expands the required disclosure for fair value measurements. FAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and states that a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. The standard applies prospectively to new fair value measurements performed after the required effective dates, which are as follows: (i) on January 1, 2008, the standard applied to our measurements of the fair values of financial instruments and recurring fair value measurements of non-financial assets and liabilities; and (ii) on January 1, 2009, the standard will apply to all remaining fair value measurements, including non-recurring measurements of non-financial assets and liabilities such as measurement of potential impairments of goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets. It also will apply to fair value measurements of non-financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. On January 18, 2008, the FASB issued proposed FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS No. 157-c, Measuring Liabilities under Statement 157, which will modify the definition of fair value by requiring estimation of the proceeds that would be received if the entity were to issue the liability at the measurement date. We evaluated FAS No. 157 and determined that the adoption of the provisions FAS No. 157 effective on January 1, 2008 had no impact on our financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the provisions of FAS No. 157 that apply on January 1, 2009 will have on our financial statements.

-6-

FAS 159 Evaluation

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected and reported in earnings. We adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. We evaluated SFAS No. 159 and did not elect the fair value accounting option for any of our eligible assets; therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no impact on our financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

FAS 141(R) Evaluation

On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“FAS 141(R)”). The new standard will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions. FAS 141(R) requires companies to recognize, with certain exception, 100 percent of the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest in acquisitions of less than a 100 percent controlling interest when the acquisition constitutes a change in control; measure acquirer shares issued as consideration for a business combination at fair value on the date of the acquisition; recognize contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition date fair value, with subsequent change in fair value generally reflected in earnings; recognition of reacquisition loss and gain contingencies at their acquisition date fair value; capitalize in process research and development assets acquired; expense as incurred, acquisition related transaction costs; capitalize acquisition-related restructuring costs only if the criteria in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 146, Accounting for Costs associated with Exit or Disposal Activities are met as of the date of the acquisition; and recognizing changes that result from a business combination transaction in an acquirer’s existing income tax valuation allowance and tax uncertainty accruals as adjustment to income tax expense. FAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early adoption is prohibited. We intend to adopt the standard on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, FAS 141(R) will have on our financial statements.

NOTE 2 –PROPERTIES

In the ordinary course of our business activities, we periodically evaluate investment opportunities and extend credit to customers. We also regularly engage in lease and loan extensions and modifications. Additionally, we actively monitor and manage our investment portfolio with the objectives of improving credit quality and increasing investment returns. In connection with portfolio management, we may engage in various collection and foreclosure activities.

If we acquire real estate pursuant to a foreclosure, lease termination or bankruptcy proceeding and do not immediately re-lease or sell the properties to new operators, the assets will be included on the balance sheet as “foreclosed real estate properties,” and the value of such assets is reported at the lower of cost or estimated fair value.

Leased Property

Our leased real estate properties, represented by 232 long-term care facilities and four rehabilitation hospitals at June 30, 2008, are leased under provisions of single leases and master leases with initial terms typically ranging from 5 to 15 years, plus renewal options. Substantially all of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and are generally computed in one of three methods depending on specific provisions of each lease as follows: (i) a specific annual percentage increase over the prior year’s rent, generally 2.5%; (ii) an increase based on the change in pre-determined formulas from year to year (i.e., such as increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”)); or (iii) specific dollar increases over prior years. Under the terms of the leases, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties.

-7-

During the second quarter of 2008, we purchased nine skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) for $47.4 million from an unrelated third party and leased the facilities to an existing tenant of ours. The facilities were added to the tenant’s existing master lease and will increase cash rent by $4.7 million annually. The $47.4 million acquisition price was allocated $6.6 million to land, $38.9 million to building and $1.9 million to personal property.

During the first quarter of 2008, we purchased one SNF for $5.2 million from an unrelated third party and leased the facility to an existing tenant of ours. The facility was added to the tenant’s existing master lease and will increase cash rent by $0.5 million annually. The $5.2 million acquisition price was allocated $0.4 million to land, $4.5 million to building and $0.3 million to personal property.

During the second quarter of 2008, we amended our master lease with an existing operator primarily to: i) extend the lease term of the agreement through December 2019; and ii) allow for the additional capital investment of up to $5 million; and iii) allow the operator the ability to exit or lease three facilities to another operator during the lease term.

During the second quarter of 2008, we amended our single facility lease agreement with an existing operator primarily to: i) to extend the lease term from August 2013 to June 2018; and ii) to increase the rent from $0.8 million to $1.0 million annually beginning July 1, 2008.

During the first quarter of 2008, we amended our master lease with an existing operator to allow for the construction of a new facility to replace an existing facility currently operated by the operator. Upon completion (estimated to be in mid-2009), annual cash rent will increase by approximately $0.7 million. As a result of our plan to replace the existing facility, we recorded a $1.5 million impairment loss on the existing facility during the first quarter of 2008 to record it at its estimated fair value.

On February 1, 2008, we amended our master lease with an existing operator and certain of its affiliates primarily to: i) consolidate three existing master leases into one master lease; ii) extend the lease term of the agreement through September 2017 for facilities acquired in August 2006; and iii) allow for the sale of two rehabilitation hospitals currently operated by the operator.

In January 2008, Haven entered into a debtors-in-possession (“DIP”) financing agreement with us and one other financial institution (collectively, the “DIP Lenders”), in which our initial participation was approximately $5.0 million of a $50 million total commitment. The agreement was originally scheduled to mature in June 2008 and yield an interest rate of prime plus 3%. On June 4, 2008, the DIP Lenders and Haven amended the DIP agreement (the “Amended DIP”) which, among other things, extended the term to allow Haven additional time to sell its assets. As collateral for the Amended DIP, we received the right to use all facility accounts receivable generated from the Omega facilities from June 4, 2008 to satisfy any of our post-June 3, 2008 advances. As of June 30, 2008, we had $0.6 million outstanding on the original DIP agreement and $8.7 million related to the Amended DIP.

-8-

Assets Sold or Held for Sale

Assets Sold

·	On January 31, 2008, we sold one SNF in California for approximately $1.5 million resulting in a gain of approximately $0.4 million, which was included in our gain/loss from discontinued operations. For additional information, see Note 9 – Discontinued Operations.

·	On February 1, 2008, we sold a SNF in California for approximately $1.5 million resulting in a gain of approximately $46 thousand.

Held for Sale

At June 30, 2008, we had two SNFs and two rehabilitation hospitals classified as held-for-sale with a net book value of approximately $17.4 million.

Mortgage Notes Receivable

On April 18, 2008, and simultaneous with the amendment and extension of the master lease with CommuniCare Health Services (“CommuniCare”), we entered into a first mortgage loan with CommuniCare in the amount of $74.9 million. This mortgage loan matures on April 30, 2018 and carries an interest rate of 11% per year. CommuniCare used the proceeds of the mortgage loan to acquire seven (7) SNFs located in Maryland, totaling 965 beds from several unrelated third parties. The mortgage loan is secured by a lien on the seven (7) facilities. At the closing, $4.9 million of loan proceeds were escrowed pending CommuniCare’s acquisition of an additional 90 bed SNF, also located in Maryland. The loan proceeds held in escrow are included in Other assets as of June 30, 2008. We anticipate that CommuniCare will acquire this facility within eight months upon the satisfaction of certain contingencies, including the granting of a lien on such facility to secure the mortgage loan. If the additional facility is not acquired, CommuniCare will be obligated to re-pay the $4.9 million of escrowed loan proceeds.

Mortgage notes receivable relate to 16 long-term care facilities. The mortgage notes are secured by first mortgage liens on the borrowers' underlying real estate and personal property. The mortgage notes receivable relate to facilities located in five (5) states, operated by five (5) independent healthcare operating companies. We monitor compliance with mortgages and when necessary have initiated collection, foreclosure and other proceedings with respect to certain outstanding loans. As of June 30, 2008, we had no foreclosed property, and none of our mortgages were in foreclosure proceedings. The mortgage properties are cross-collateralized with the master lease agreement.

Mortgage interest income is recognized as earned over the terms of the related mortgage notes. Allowances are provided against earned revenues from mortgage interest when collection of amounts due becomes questionable or when negotiations for restructurings of troubled operators lead to lower expectations regarding ultimate collection. When collection is uncertain, mortgage interest income on impaired mortgage loans is recognized as received after taking into account application of security deposits.

NOTE 3 – CONCENTRATION OF RISK

As of June 30, 2008, our portfolio of investments consisted of 252 healthcare facilities, located in 29 states and operated by 26 third-party operators. Our gross investment in these facilities, net of impairments and before reserve for uncollectible loans, totaled approximately $1.4 billion at June 30, 2008, with approximately 98% of our real estate investments related to long-term care facilities. This portfolio is made up of 230 long-term healthcare facilities, two rehabilitation hospitals owned and leased to third parties, fixed rate mortgages on 16 long-term healthcare facilities, and two rehabilitation hospitals and two long-term healthcare facility that are currently held for sale. At June 30, 2008, we also held miscellaneous investments of approximately $21 million, consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our facilities.

-9-

At June 30, 2008, approximately 26% of our real estate investments were operated by two public companies: Sun Healthcare Group (“Sun”) (16%) and Advocat Inc. (“Advocat”) (10%). Our largest private company operators (by investment) were CommuniCare (22%), Signature Holding II, LLC (10%). No other operator represents more than 9% of our investments. The three states in which we had our highest concentration of investments were Ohio (23%), Florida (12%) and Pennsylvania (8%) at June 30, 2008.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, our revenues from operations totaled $43.7 million, of which approximately $8.4 million were from CommuniCare (19%), $8.2 million from Sun (19%) and $5.1 million from Advocat (12%). No other operator generated more than 10% of our revenues from operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, our revenues from operations totaled $84.6 million, of which approximately $16.3 million were from Sun (19%), $13.7 million from CommuniCare (16%) and $10.2 million from Advocat (12%). No other operator generated more than 10% of our revenues from operations for the six- month period ended June 30, 2008.

Sun and Advocat are subject to the reporting requirements of the Security Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are required to file with the SEC annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited interim financial information. Sun and Advocat’s filings with the SEC can be found at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. We are providing this data for information purposes only, and you are encouraged to obtain Sun’s and Advocat’s publicly available filings from the SEC.

On January 17, 2008, the Board of Directors declared regular quarterly dividends of approximately $0.52344 per preferred share on the Series D Preferred Stock that were paid February 15, 2008 to preferred stockholders of record on January 31, 2008.

NOTE 5 – TAXES

So long as we qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on the REIT taxable income that we distribute to stockholders, subject to certain exceptions. On a quarterly and annual basis we test our compliance within the REIT taxation rules to ensure that we were in compliance with the rules.

Subject to the limitation under the REIT asset test rules, we are permitted to own up to 100% of the stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRSs”). Currently, we have one TRS that is taxable as a corporation and that pays federal, state and local income tax on its net income at the applicable corporate rates. The TRS had a net operating loss carry-forward as of June 30, 2008 of $1.1 million. The loss carry-forward was fully reserved with a valuation allowance due to uncertainties regarding realization.

NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The following is a summary of our stock based compensation expense for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

	(in thousands)

Stock based compensation cost	$	525	$	309	$	1,051	$	335

2007 Stock Awards

In May 2007, we granted 286,908 shares of restricted stock and 247,992 performance restricted stock units (“PRSU”) to five executive officers under the 2004 Plan Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”).

Restricted Stock Award

The restricted stock award vests one-seventh on December 31, 2007 and two-sevenths on December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2010, respectively, subject to continued employment on the vesting date (as defined in the agreements filed with the SEC on May 8, 2007). As of June 30, 2008, 40,987 shares of restricted stock have vested under the restricted stock award.

Performance Restricted Stock Units

We awarded two types of PRSUs (annual and cliff vesting awards) to the five executives. One half of the PRSU awards vest annually in equal increments on December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2010, respectively. The other half of the PRSU awards cliff vest on December 31, 2010. Vesting on both types of awards requires achievement of total shareholder return (as defined in the agreements filed with the SEC on May 8, 2007).

As of June 30, 2008, we had 27,664 stock options and 16,495 shares of restricted stock outstanding to directors. The stock options were fully vested as of January 1, 2007 and the restricted shares are scheduled to vest over the next three years. As of June 30, 2008, the unrecognized compensation cost associated with the directors’ restricted stock is $0.2 million.

NOTE 7 – FINANCING ACTIVITIES AND BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS

Bank Credit Agreements

At June 30, 2008, we had $102.0 million outstanding under our $255 million revolving senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and $2.1 million was utilized for the issuance of letters of credit, leaving availability of $150.9 million. The $102.0 million of outstanding borrowings had a blended interest rate of 3.55% at June 30, 2008.

Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), that governs our Credit Facility, we were permitted under certain circumstances to increase our available borrowing base under the Credit Agreement from $200 million up to an aggregate of $300 million. Effective February 22, 2007, we exercised our right to increase the available revolving commitment under Section 2.01 of the Credit Agreement from $200 million to $255 million and we consented to add additional properties to the borrowing base assets under the Credit Agreement.

Our long-term borrowings require us to meet certain property level financial covenants and corporate financial covenants, including prescribed leverage, fixed charge coverage, minimum net worth, limitations on additional indebtedness and limitations on dividend payouts. As of June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all property level and corporate financial covenants.

-12-

Other Long-Term Borrowings

In January 2008, we purchased from General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE Capital”) a $39.0 million mortgage loan on seven facilities operated by Haven Eldercare, LLC (“Haven”) due October 2012. Prior to the acquisition of this mortgage, we had a $22.8 million second mortgage on these facilities. At June 30, 2008, we held a combined $61.8 million mortgage on these facilities and an option to purchase these facilities. Exercising the purchase option would have resulted in the seven facilities being combined with an eight facility master lease agreement with Haven. In conjunction with the above–noted mortgage and purchase option and the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (“FIN 46R”), we have historically and continue to consolidate the financial statements and real estate of this Haven entity into our financial statements. The impact of consolidating this Haven entity resulted in the following adjustments to our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008: (i) an increase in Land and buildings of $61.8 million; (ii) an increase in accumulated depreciation of $3.9 million; (iii) a decrease in Mortgage notes receivable – net of $61.8 million; and (iv) a reduction of $3.9 million in Cumulative net earnings due to increased depreciation expense. The impact of consolidating the Haven entity resulted in the following adjustments to our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007: (i) an increase in total gross investments of $39.0 million; (ii) an increase in accumulated depreciation of $3.1 million; (iii) an increase in Accounts receivable – net of $0.4 million; (iv) an increase in Other long-term borrowings of $39.0 million; and (v) a reduction of $2.7 million in Cumulative net earnings primarily due to increased depreciation expense. Our results of operation reflect the impact of the consolidation of this Haven entity for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. See Note 2 – Leased Properties for information regarding subsequent events related to Haven.

5.9 Million Share Common Stock Offering

On May 6, 2008, we issued 5.9 million shares of our common stock in a registered direct placement to a number of institutional investors. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $98.8 million, after deducting the placement agent’s fee and other estimated offering expense. Cohen & Steers Capital Advisors, LLC acted as Placement Agent for the offering. The net proceeds were used to repay indebtedness under our senior credit facility.

Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan

We have a Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRSPP”) that allows for the reinvestment of dividends and the optional purchase of our common stock. We currently offer shares under the DRSPP at a 1% discount to market. For the six month period ended June 30, 2008, we issued 1,232,966 shares of common stock for approximately $20.3 million in net proceeds.

NOTE 8 – LITIGATION

We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims and other actions arising out of the normal course of business. While any legal proceeding or claim has an element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of each lawsuit, claim or legal proceeding that is pending or threatened, or all of them combined, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 9 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, requires the presentation of the net operating results of facilities classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

-13-

The following table summarizes the results of operations of facilities sold or held-for-sale during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2008, no revenue or expense was generated from discontinued operations. The second quarter 2007 discontinued operations revenue and expense includes revenue and expense from one SNF sold during the first quarter of 2008.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, discontinued operations includes revenue of $15 thousand for one SNF located in California that was sold during the first quarter of 2008, generating a gain of $0.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, discontinued operations include revenue and expense from three facilities that have been sold, including revenue from the SNF sold during the first quarter of 2008. In 2007, we recorded a gain of $1.6 million for the sale of six facilities.

NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

We calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) in accordance with FAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. The computation of basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted EPS is computed using the treasury stock method, which is net income divided by the total weighted-average number of common outstanding shares plus the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares during the respective period. Dilutive common shares reflect the assumed issuance of additional common shares pursuant to certain of our share-based compensation plans, including stock options, restricted stock and performance restricted stock units.

-14-

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Since November 2007, affiliates of Haven have operated under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Commencing in February 2008, the assets of Haven were marketed for sale via an auction process to be conducted through proceedings established by the bankruptcy court. The auction process failed to produce a qualified buyer. As a result, and pursuant to our rights as ordered by the bankruptcy court, Haven moved the bankruptcy court to authorize us to credit bid certain of the indebtedness that Haven owed to us in exchange for taking ownership of and transitioning certain of the assets of Haven to a new entity in which we have a substantial ownership interest, all of which was approved by the bankruptcy court on July 4, 2008. Effective as of July 7, 2008, we took ownership and/or possession of 15 facilities previously operated by Haven, and a new entity in which we have a substantial economic ownership interest began operating these facilities on our behalf through an independent contractor. For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the new entity operating the facilities will be consolidated into our financial statements in accordance with FIN 46R from July 7, 2008 until the facilities are re-leased or sold. For additional discussion regarding Haven Eldercare, LLC, see Notes 1 and 2.

-15-

On August 6, 2008, subsidiaries of the Omega entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (“MTA”) with affiliates of Formation Capital (“Formation”) whereby Formation has agreed (subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of licensure) to lease 15 facilities under a Master Lease. These facilities were formerly leased to Haven and are the facilities that we took ownership and/or possession of effective July 7, 2008. The facilities consist of 14 skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living facility, and are located in Connecticut (5), Rhode Island (4), New Hampshire (3), Vermont (2) and Massachusetts (1). As part of the transaction, Formation intends to enter into a Management Agreement with Genesis Healthcare.

The master lease to be executed at closing under the MTA will have an initial term of 10 years with initial annual rent of approximately $12 million. In addition, Formation has an option after the initial 12 months of the lease to convert eight (8) of the leased facilities into mortgaged properties, with economic terms substantially similar to that of the original lease.

The transaction is expected to close on or about September 1, 2008 subject to the closing conditions under the MTA.

On July 1, 2008, we closed on the sale of two rehabilitation hospitals that were classified as held for sale on June 30, 2008. We received approximately $29.0 million in proceeds for the sale of the facilities. The net book value of these facilities was approximately $16.4 million.

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

Forward-looking Statements, and Other Factors Affecting Future Results

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this document. This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding potential financings and potential future changes in reimbursement. These statements relate to our expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, performance and underlying assumptions and other statements other than statements of historical facts.

(iii)

the ability of any operators in bankruptcy to reject unexpired lease obligations, modify the terms of our mortgages and impede our ability to collect unpaid rent or interest during the process of a bankruptcy proceeding and retain security deposits for the debtors’ obligations;

(iv)	our ability to sell closed or foreclosed assets on a timely basis and on terms that allow us to realize the carrying value of these assets;

(v)	our ability to negotiate appropriate modifications to the terms of our credit facility;

(vi)	our ability to manage, re-lease or sell any owned and operated facilities;

(vii)

the availability and cost of capital;

(viii)

changes in the ratings of our debt and preferred securities.

Overview

Our portfolio of investments at June 30, 2008, consisted of 252 healthcare facilities, located in 29 states and operated by 26 third-party operators. Our gross investment in these facilities totaled approximately $1.4 billion at June 30, 2008, with 98% of our real estate investments related to long-term healthcare facilities. This portfolio is made up of (i) 230 long-term healthcare facilities, (ii) two rehabilitation hospitals owned and leased to third parties, (iii) fixed rate mortgages on 16 long-term healthcare facilities and (iv) two rehabilitation hospitals and two long-term healthcare facility that are currently held for sale. At June 30, 2008, we also held other investments of approximately $21 million, consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our facilities.

-17-

Taxation

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT, under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1992. We believe that we have been organized and operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT. We intend to continue to operate in a manner that will maintain our qualification as a REIT, but no assurance can be given that we have operated or will be able to continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. Under the Code, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income distributed to stockholders if certain distribution, income, asset and stockholder tests are met, including a requirement that we must generally distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income, excluding any net capital gain, to stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we may be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income for that year and for the four years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders. See also “Taxation of Foreclosure Property” below.

Recent Developments Regarding Government Regulation

In 2007 and early 2008, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a number of Medicaid rules that could have adverse impacts on the overall funds available for Medicaid programs to reimburse long-term care providers. Such rules include the following issues: intergovernmental transfers; coverage of rehabilitation services for people with disabilities; outreach and enrollment funded by Medicaid in schools; specialized transportation to schools for children covered by Medicaid; graduate medical education payments; outpatient hospital services; targeted case management services; state provider tax limits and appeals filed through the Department of Health and Human Services. The endurance of these regulations is unknown. Legislation to delay implementation of these charges was passed in the United States House of Representatives on April 23, 2008, and similar legislation has been introduced in the United States Senate. However, the legislation has not been enacted into law, if some or all of these regulations go into effect, the operators of our properties could potentially experience reductions in Medicaid funding.

CMS also has been involved with a number of initiatives aimed at the quality of nursing homes, which may impact our operators. For instance, in February 2008, CMS made publicly available on its website the names of all 136 nursing homes targeted in its Special Focus Facility program for underperforming nursing homes. CMS plans on updating the list on a quarterly basis. In the event any of our operators do not maintain the same or superior levels of quality care as their competitors, patients could choose alternate facilities, which could adversely impact our operators’ revenues. In addition, the reporting of such information could lead to future reimbursement policies that reward or penalize facilities on the basis of the reported quality of care parameters.

In late 2005, CMS began soliciting public comments regarding a demonstration to examine pay-for-performance approaches in the nursing home setting that would offer financial incentives for facilities delivering high quality care. CMS anticipates that the demonstration will begin in 2008. Data collection began in the first market in March 2008 for the next phase of CMS’ Post Acute Care Payment Reform Demonstration Program (“PAC-PRD”). Data collection is anticipated to begin in nine additional markets in April 2008. Information will be collected about Medicare beneficiaries’ experiences in post-acute care settings. The purpose of the demonstration project, which was mandated by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, is to use the information obtained to guide future Medicare payment policy.

CMS issued a Final Rule on February 22, 2008 implementing several changes to Medicaid provider tax rules, which reduce states’ options in adopting provider taxes. The rule could result in less taxes for providers but also less funding in states’ Medicaid systems since it limits states' ability to fund the non-federal share of their Medicaid programs. The Final Rule reduces the maximum allowable health care-related taxes that states can impose on providers from 6 percent to 5.5 percent. It also clarifies and modifies standards related to certain Medicaid financing arrangements. It should be noted that some of the changes in the proposed rule are in direct response to a decision of the HHS Departmental Appeals Board in June of 2005 that reversed $980 million in CMS disallowances in five states related to nursing home taxes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and a summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such difference may be material to the consolidated financial statements. We have described our most critical accounting policies in our 2007 annual report on Form 10-K in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following discussion provides additional information about the effect on the consolidated financial statements of judgments and estimates related to our policy regarding uncertainty in income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

FAS 157 Evaluation

FAS 159 Evaluation

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected reported in earnings. We adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. We evaluated SFAS No. 159 and did not elect the fair value accounting option for any of our eligible assets; therefore, the adoption of SFAS 159 had no impact on our financial statements.

-19-

FAS 141(R) Evaluation

On December 4, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“FAS 141(R)”). The new standard will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions. FAS 141(R) requires companies to recognize, with certain exception, 100 percent of the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest in acquisitions of less than a 100 percent controlling interest when the acquisition constitutes a change in control; measure acquirer shares issued as consideration for a business combination at fair value on the date of the acquisition; recognize contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition date fair value, with subsequent change in fair value generally reflected in earnings; recognition of reacquisition loss and gain contingencies at their acquisition date fair value; expense as incurred, acquisition related transaction costs. FAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early adoption is prohibited. We intend to adopt the standard on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FAS 141(R) will have on our financial statements.

Results of Operations

The following is our discussion of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and liquidity and capital resources, which should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $43.7 million, an increase of $5.6 million over the same period in 2007. The $5.6 million increase relates primarily to: (i) additional rental income as a result of the acquisition of five skilled nursing facility (“SNFs”) in August 2007 for $39.5 million, one SNF in January 2008 for $5.2 million and seven SNFs, one assisted living facility (“ALF”) and one rehabilitation hospital in April 2008 for approximately $48 million which were all leased to existing operators, and (ii) additional mortgage income associated with the mortgage financing of eight new facilities.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $17.0 million, an increase of approximately $5.4 million over the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to a $4.3 million of provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable associated with Haven Eldercare, LLC (“Haven”). The provision consisted of $3.3 million associated with straight-line receivables and $1.0 million in pre-petition contractual receivables. In addition, depreciation expense increased by $0.9 million due to the acquisitions of five SNFs in August 2007, one SNF in January 2008 and seven SNFs, one ALF and one rehabilitation hospital in April 2008. The increase in restricted stock expense of $0.2 million was due to an additional month of expense in 2008 versus 2007. In May 2007, we entered into a new restricted stock agreement with executives of the Company.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, total other expenses were $9.7 million, as compared to $10.5 million for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $0.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower average LIBOR interest rates and $0.5 million associated with cash received for a legal settlement.

Income from continuing operations

Income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $17.1 million compared to $16.0 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in income from continuing operations is the result of the factors described above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $84.6 million, an increase of $3.9 million over the same period in 2007. The $3.9 million increase relates primarily to (i) additional rental income due to the acquisition of five SNFs in August 2007, one SNF in January 2008 and seven SNFs, one ALF and one rehabilitation hospital in April 2008 which were all leased to existing operators; (ii) additional mortgage income due to the mortgage financing of eight new facilities; (iii) an amendment to an existing operator’s lease that extended the terms of the lease agreement and increased the annual rent in the first quarter of 2008 and (iv) additional miscellaneous revenue primarily due to late fees. Offsetting these increases was the first quarter 2007 reversal of approximately $5.0 million in allowance for straight-line rent, resulting from an improvement in one of our operator’s financial condition in 2007.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $31.0 million, an increase of approximately $8.0 million over the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to $4.3 million of provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable associated with Haven. The provision consisted of $3.3 million associated with straight-line receivables and $1.0 million in pre-petition contractual receivables. In addition, depreciation expense increased by $1.5 million due to the acquisitions of five SNFs in August 2007, one SNF in January 2008 and seven SNFs, one ALF and one rehabilitation hospital in April 2008. During the first quarter of 2008, we recorded a $1.5 million provision for impairment to reduce the carrying value on one facility to its estimated fair value. The increase in restricted stock expense of $0.7 million was due to four additional months of expense in 2008 versus. 2007. In May 2007, we entered into a new restricted stock agreement with executives of the Company.

Other Income (Expense)

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, total other expenses were $19.8 million, as compared to $22.8 million for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $3.0 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower average LIBOR interest rates and average debt outstanding and $0.5 million associated with cash received for a legal settlement.

Income from continuing operations

Income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $33.9 million compared to $35.0 million for the same period in 2007. The decrease in income from continuing operations is the result of the factors described above.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations relate to properties we disposed of or plan to dispose of and are currently classified as assets held for sale - net.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, discontinued operations includes revenue of $15 thousand for one SNF located in California that was sold during the first quarter of 2008, generating a gain of $0.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, discontinued operations include revenue and expense from three facilities that have been sold, including revenue from one SNF sold during the first quarter of 2008. In 2007, we recorded a gain of $1.6 million for the sale of six facilities.

Funds From Operations

Our funds from operations available to common stockholders (“FFO”), for the three months ended June 30, 2008, was $24.4 million, compared to $22.4 million, for the same period in 2007.

We calculate and report FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and consequently, FFO is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization. We believe that FFO is an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. The term FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue. FFO herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO of other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us.

We use FFO as one of several criteria to measure operating performance of our business. We further believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods. We offer this measure to assist the users of our financial statements in analyzing our financial performance; however, this is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net income or an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in our securities should not rely on this measure as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

The following table reconciles FFO to net income available to common stockholders, as determined under GAAP, for the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Portfolio and Recent Developments

Below is a brief description, by third-party operator, of our re-leasing, restructuring or new investment transactions that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Alpha HealthCare Properties, LLC

On January 17, 2008, we purchased one SNF for $5.2 million from an unrelated third party and leased the facility to Alpha Health Care Properties, LLC (“Alpha”), an existing tenant of ours. The facility was added to Alpha’s existing master lease and provides for an additional $0.5 million of cash rent annually.

Advocat Inc.

During the first quarter of 2008, we amended our master lease with Advocat Inc. (“Advocat”) to allow for the construction of a new facility to replace an existing facility currently operated by Advocat. Upon completion (estimated to be in mid-2009), annual cash rent will increase by approximately $0.7 million. As a result of our plan to replace the existing facility, we recorded a $1.5 million impairment loss related to the existing facility during the first quarter of 2008 to record it at its estimated fair value.

CommuniCare Health Services

On April 18, 2008, we completed approximately $123 million of combined new investments with affiliates of CommuniCare Heath Services (“CommuniCare”), an existing operator. Effective April 18, 2008, we purchased from several unrelated third parties seven (7) SNFs, one (1) assisted living facility and one (1) rehabilitation hospital, all located in Ohio, totaling 709 beds for a total investment of $47.4 million. The facilities were added into our master lease with CommuniCare, increasing annualized cash rent under the master lease by approximately $4.7 million, subject to annual escalators The term of the CommuniCare master lease was extended to April 30, 2018, with two ten-year renewal options.

Also on April 18, 2008, and simultaneous with the amendment and extension of the master lease with CommuniCare, we entered into a first mortgage loan with CommuniCare in the amount of $74.9 million. This mortgage loan matures on April 30, 2018 and carries an interest rate of 11% per year. CommuniCare used the proceeds of the mortgage loan to acquire seven (7) SNFs located in Maryland, totaling 965 beds from several unrelated third parties. The mortgage loan is secured by a lien on the seven (7) facilities. At the closing, $4.9 million of loan proceeds were escrowed pending CommuniCare’s acquisition of an additional 90 bed SNF, also located in Maryland. The loan proceeds held in escrow are included in Other assets as of June 30, 2008. We anticipate that CommuniCare will acquire this facility within eight months upon the satisfaction of certain contingencies, including the granting of a lien on such facility to secure the mortgage loan. If the additional facility is not acquired, CommuniCare will be obligated to re-pay the $4.9 million of escrowed loan proceeds. The mortgage properties are cross-collaterialized with the master lease agreement.

Haven Eldercare, LLC

In January 2008, we purchased from General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE Capital”) a $39.0 million mortgage loan on seven facilities operated by Haven Eldercare, LLC (“Haven”) due October 2012. Prior to the acquisition of this mortgage, we had a $22.8 million second mortgage on these facilities, resulting in a combined $61.8 million mortgage on these facilities immediately following the purchase from GE Capital. In conjunction with the above noted mortgage and purchase option and the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (“FIN 46R”), we have historically and continue to consolidate the financial statements and real estate of this Haven entity into our financial statements. The impact of consolidating this Haven entity resulted in the following adjustments to our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008: (i) an increase in Land and buildings of $61.8 million; (ii) an increase in accumulated depreciation of $3.9 million; (iii) a decrease in Mortgage notes receivable – net of $61.8 million; and (iv) a reduction of $3.9 million in Cumulative net earnings due to increased depreciation expense. The impact of consolidating this Haven entity resulted in the following adjustments to our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007: (i) an increase in total gross investments of $39.0 million; (ii) an increase in accumulated depreciation of $3.1 million; (iii) an increase in Accounts receivable – net of $0.4 million; (iv) an increase in Other long-term borrowings of $39.0 million; and (v) a reduction of $2.7 million in Cumulative net earnings primarily due to increased depreciation expense. Our results of operation reflect the impact of the consolidation of this Haven entity for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

-23-

Since November 2007, affiliates of one of our operators/lessees/mortgagors (collectively, “Haven”), have operated under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Commencing in February 2008, the assets of Haven were marketed for sale via an auction process to be conducted through proceedings established by the bankruptcy court. The auction process failed to produce a qualified buyer. As a result, and pursuant to our rights as ordered by the bankruptcy court, Haven moved the bankruptcy court to authorize us to credit bid certain of the indebtedness that Haven owed to us in exchange for taking ownership of and transitioning certain of the assets of Haven to a new entity in which we have a substantial ownership interest, all of which was approved by the bankruptcy court on July 4, 2008. Effective as of July 7, 2008, we took ownership and/or possession of 15 facilities previously operated by Haven, and a new entity in which we have a substantial economic ownership interest began operating these facilities on our behalf through an independent contractor. For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the new entity operating the facilities will be consolidated into our financial statements in accordance with FIN 46R from July 7, 2008 until the facilities are re-leased or sold. In 2007, Haven represented 9% of our total investment and 8% of our operating revenue. As of June 30, 2008, our investment in Land and buildings for the Haven properties was approximately $103.3 million.

In January 2008, Haven entered into a debtors-in-possession financing (“DIP”) agreement with us and one other financial institution (collectively, the “DIP Lenders”), in which our initial participation was approximately $5.0 million of a $50 million total commitment. The agreement was originally scheduled to mature in June 2008 and yield an interest rate of prime plus 3%. On June 4, 2008, the DIP Lenders and Haven amended the DIP agreement (the “Amended DIP”) which, among other things, extended the term to allow Haven additional time to sell its assets. As collateral for the Amended DIP, we received the right to use all facility accounts receivable generated from the Omega facilities from June 4, 2008 to satisfy any of our post-June 3, 2008 advances. As of June 30, 2008, we had $0.6 million outstanding on the original DIP agreement and $8.7 million related to the Amended DIP.

On August 6, 2008, subsidiaries of Omega entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (“MTA”) with affiliates of Formation Capital (“Formation”) whereby Formation has agreed (subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of licensure) to lease 15 facilities under a Master Lease. These facilities were formerly leased to Haven and are the facilities that we took ownership and/or possession of effective July 7, 2008. The facilities consist of 14 skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living facility, and are located in Connecticut (5), Rhode Island (4), New Hampshire (3), Vermont (2) and Massachusetts (1). As part of the transaction, Formation intends to enter into a Management Agreement with Genesis Healthcare.

The transaction is expected to close on or about September 1, 2008 subject to the closing conditions under the MTA.

Sun Healthcare Group, Inc.

On February 1, 2008, we amended our master lease with Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“Sun”) primarily to: (i) consolidate three existing master leases into one master lease; (ii) extend the lease terms of the agreement through September 2017 for facilities acquired in August 2006; and (iii) allow for the sale of two rehabilitation hospitals currently operated by Sun. As of June 30, 2008, these facilities had a net book value of $16.4 million and were included in assets held for sale. On July 1, 2008, the two rehabilitation hospitals were sold for approximately $29.0 million. As a result of the sale, contractual rent will decrease by $1.7 million annually beginning July 1, 2008.

Assets Sold

·	On January 31, 2008, we sold one SNF in California for approximately $1.5 million resulting in a gain of approximately $0.4 million, which was included in our gain/loss from discontinued operations. For additional information, see Note 9 – Discontinued Operations.

·	On February 1, 2008, we sold a SNF in California for approximately $1.5 million resulting in a gain of approximately $46 thousand.

Held for Sale

·	At June 30, 2008, we had two SNFs and two rehabilitation hospitals classified as held-for-sale with a net book value of approximately $17.4 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2008, we had total assets of $1.3 billion, stockholders’ equity of $692.9 million and debt of $588.7 million, which represents approximately 45.9% of our total capitalization.

The following table shows the amounts due in connection with the contractual obligations described below as of June 30, 2008.

	Payments due by period

The $589.0 million includes $310 million aggregate principal amount of 7% Senior Notes due April 2014, $175 million aggregate principal amount of 7% Senior Notes due January 2016, $102.0 million in borrowings under the $255 million revolving senior secured credit facility that matures in March 2010.

Financing Activities and Borrowing Arrangements

Bank Credit Agreements

Pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), that governs our Credit Facility, we were permitted under certain circumstances to increase our available borrowing base under the Credit Agreement from $200 million up to an aggregate of $300 million. Effective February 22, 2007, we exercised our right to increase the available revolving commitment under Section 2.01 of the Credit Agreement from $200 million to $255 million and we consented to add 18 of our properties to the borrowing base assets under the Credit Agreement.

5.9 Million Common Stock Offering

On May 6, 2008, we have issued 5.9 million shares of our common stock in a registered direct placement to a number of institutional investors. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $98.8 million, after deducting the placement agent’s fee and other estimated offering expense. Cohen & Steers Capital Advisors, LLC acted as Placement Agent for the offering. The net proceeds were used to repay indebtedness under our senior credit facility.

Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan

Dividends

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to our stockholders in an amount at least equal to (A) the sum of (i) 90% of our "REIT taxable income" (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain), and (ii) 90% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (B) the sum of certain items of non-cash income. Such distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if declared before we timely file our tax return for such year and paid on or before the first regular dividend payment after such declaration. In addition, such distributions are required to be made pro rata, with no preference to any share of stock as compared with other shares of the same class, and with no preference to one class of stock as compared with another class except to the extent that such class is entitled to such a preference. To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or do distribute at least 90%, but less than 100% of our "REIT taxable income," as adjusted, we will be subject to tax thereon at regular ordinary and capital gain corporate tax rates. In addition, our credit facility has certain financial covenants that limit the distribution of dividends paid during a fiscal quarter to no more than 95% of our aggregate cumulative FFO as defined in the credit agreement, unless a greater distribution is required to maintain REIT status. The credit agreement defines FFO as net income (or loss) plus depreciation and amortization and shall be adjusted for charges related to: (i) restructuring our debt; (ii) redemption of preferred stock; (iii) litigation charges up to $5.0 million; (iv) non-cash charges for accounts and notes receivable up to $5.0 million; (v) non-cash compensation related expenses; (vi) non-cash impairment charges; and (vii) tax liabilities in an amount not to exceed $8.0 million.

For the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2008, we paid total dividends of $23.3 million and $45.8 million, respectively.

On July 16, 2008, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.30 per share, to be paid August 15, 2008 to common stockholders of record on July 31, 2008. On July 16, 2008, the Board of Directors also declared the regular quarterly dividends for our 8.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to stockholders of record on July 31, 2008. The stockholders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock on July 31, 2008 will be paid dividends in the amount of $0.52344 per preferred share on August 15, 2008. The liquidation preference for our Series D Preferred Stock is $25.00 per share.

Liquidity

We believe our liquidity and various sources of available capital, including cash from operations, our existing availability under our Credit Facility and expected proceeds from mortgage payoffs are more than adequate to finance operations, meet recurring debt service requirements and fund future investments through the next twelve months.

We regularly review our liquidity needs, the adequacy of cash flow from operations, and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We believe our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund:

· normal recurring expenses;

· debt service payments;

· preferred stock dividends;

· common stock dividends; and

· growth through acquisitions of additional properties.

The primary source of liquidity is our cash flows from operations. Operating cash flows have historically been determined by: (i) the number of facilities we lease or have mortgages on; (ii) rental and mortgage rates; (iii) our debt service obligations; and (iv) general and administrative expenses. The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by financing activities and used in investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets environment, especially to changes in interest rates. Changes in the capital markets environment may impact the availability of cost-effective capital and affect our plans for acquisition and disposition activity.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.2 million as of June 30, 2008, an increase of $0.2 million as compared to the balance at December 31, 2007. The following is a discussion of changes in cash and cash equivalents due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Operating Activities – Net cash flow from operating activities generated $54.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $42.7 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of $11.9 million. The increase in operating cash flows is primarily due to additional revenue due to recent acquisitions, normal rent escalators and decreased interest due to reduced average rates and average borrowing outstanding.

Investing Activities – Net cash flow from investing activities was an outflow of $140.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to an outflow of $1.5 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in cash outflow from investing activities of $139.3 million relates primarily to i) the acquisition of one SNF for $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2008 and the acquisition of nine facilities for $47.4 million in the second quarter of 2008; ii) the $74.9 million mortgage loan with one of our operators in the second quarter of 2008; iii) the investment of $9.0 million in capital improvements and renovation in 2008 compared to $4.0 million in 2007; and iv) the investment in a debtor-in-possession note with one of our operators in 2008.

Financing Activities – Net cash flow from financing activities was an inflow of $86.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to an outflow of $39.5 million for the same period in 2007. The $125.8 million change in financing activities was primarily a result of an increase in net proceeds on our credit facility and other borrowings of $15 million compared to net payments of $120.0 million in the same period in 2007, an increase in dividend reinvestment proceeds of $12.5 million, offset by an increase in dividend payment of $7.0 million and a reduction in common stock offering of $14 million.

Taxation of Foreclosure Property

We will be subject to tax at the maximum corporate tax rate on any income from foreclosure property, other than income that otherwise would be qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test, applicable to REITs, less expenses directly connected with the production of that income. However, gross income from foreclosure property will qualify for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests applicable to REITs. Foreclosure property is any real property, including interests in real property, and any personal property incident to such real property:

that is acquired by a REIT as the result of i) the REIT having bid on such property at foreclosure, or having otherwise reduced such property to ownership or possession by agreement or process of law, after there was a default or default was imminent on a lease of such property or on indebtedness that such property secured or ii) in the case of a “qualified health care property”, the termination of the lease with respect to such property;

·	for which the related loan or lease was acquired by the REIT at a time when the default was not imminent or anticipated; and

·	for which the REIT makes a proper election to treat the property as foreclosure property.

Such property generally ceases to be foreclosure property at the end of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the REIT acquired the property, or longer (for a total of up to six years) if an extension is granted by the Secretary of the Treasury. In the case of a “qualified health care property” acquired solely as a result of a termination of a lease, but not in connection with default or an imminent default on the lease, the initial grace period terminates on the second taxable year following the year in which the REIT acquired the property. Our properties generally should be treated as “qualified health care properties.” The grace period terminates and foreclosure property ceases to be foreclosure property on the first day:

on which a lease is entered into for the property that, by its terms, will give rise to income that does not qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income test, or any amount is received or accrued, directly or indirectly, pursuant to a lease entered into on or after such day that will give rise to income that does not qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income test;

·	on which any construction takes place on the property, other than completion of a building or any other improvement, where more than 10% of the construction was completed before default became imminent; or

·	which is more than 90 days after the day on which the REIT acquired the property and the property is used in a trade or business which is conducted by the REIT, other than through an independent contractor from whom the REIT itself does not derive or receive any income.

We acquired possession of fifteen skilled nursing facilities formerly operated by Haven (“Haven Properties”) in July 2008, and we have engaged an independent contractor to operate the properties on our behalf. We intend to make an election on our 2008 federal income tax return to treat the Haven Properties as foreclosure properties. Because we acquired possession in connection with a foreclosure, the Haven Properties are eligible to be treated as foreclosure property until the end of 2011. Although the Secretary of Treasury may extend the foreclosure property period until the end of 2014, there can be no assurance that we will receive such an extension. So long as the Haven Properties qualify as foreclosure property, our gross income from the properties will be qualifying income for the 75% and 95% gross income tests, but we will generally be subject to corporate income tax at the highest rate on the net income from the properties. If one or more of the Haven Properties were to inadvertently fail to qualify as foreclosure property, we would likely recognize nonqualifying income from such property for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests, which could cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT. In addition, any gain from a sale of such property could be subject to the 100% prohibited transactions tax. Although we intend to sell or lease the Haven Properties to one or more unrelated third parties prior to the end of 2011, no assurance can be provided that we will accomplish that objective.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, but we seek to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the term of new investments with new long-term fixed rate borrowing to the extent possible.

There was no material change in our market risks during the three months ended June 30, 2008. For additional information, refer to Item 7A as presented in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are controls and other procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2008.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report identified in connection with the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures described above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 – Legal Proceedings

See Note 8 – Litigation to the Consolidated Financial Statements in PART I, Item 1 hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference in response to this item.

Item 1A – Risk Factors

We filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2008, which sets forth our risk factors in Item 1A therein. We have not experienced any material changes from the risk factors previously described therein, except for the risks described under “Taxation of Foreclosure Property in PART I, Item 2 hereto and as set forth below:

We have limited experience with operating facilities.

We have acquired temporary possession of the fifteen facilities formerly operated by Haven (the “Haven Properties”) and have engaged an independent contractor to operate those properties on our behalf. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Haven Eldercare, LLC” above. We do not intend to have our independent contractor operate the Haven Properties for an extended period of time. We have entered into an agreement to re-lease the Haven Properties (subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of licensure). This is a new area of business for us with risks that differ from those to which we have been subject historically. There can be no assurance that our independent contractor will have the skills needed to run this business profitably on our behalf and our financial results could suffer.

General Risks Related to the Haven Properties

The entity operating the Haven facilities on our behalf (“TC Healthcare”) is typically required to hold applicable licenses and is responsible for the regulatory and environmental compliance at the Haven Properties, and could be sanctioned for violation of regulatory and environmental requirements. In addition, as a substantial economic owner of the operating company (being run by an independent contractor), if TC Healthcare fails to comply with the requirements of governmental reimbursement programs such as Medicare or Medicaid, licensing and certification requirements, fraud and abuse regulations or new legislative developments TC Healthcare may have to cease to operate such facilities. With respect to the Haven Properties, the risks identified under the caption "Risks Related to the Operators of Our Facilities" in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 generally apply directly to us as the owner/operator of such facilities until they are re-leased or sold.

Litigation Related to the Haven Properties

TC Healthcare may be named as a defendant in professional liability claims related to the Haven Properties. In these suits, patients could allege significant damages, including punitive damages. Since TC Healthcare’s results will be included in our consolidated financial statements from July 7, 2008, such potential litigation and rising insurance costs could not only affect TC Healthcare’s ability to obtain and maintain adequate liability and other insurance, but also may affect TC Healthcare’s ability to run the business profitably and our financial results could suffer.
