See accompanying notes. 4 NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1998 (Unaudited) (i) The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in such financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. (ii) The Company invests in health care related real estate and, as of September 30, 1998, had investments in 337 facilities located in 33 states. The facilities include 198 skilled nursing facilities, 104 assisted living facilities, 14 continuing care retirement communities, 16 residential care facilities for the elderly, 2 rehabilitation hospitals and 3 medical clinics. The Company's facilities are operated by 60 different operators, including the following publicly traded companies: Alternative Living Services, Inc., American Retirement Corporation, ARV Assisted Living, Inc., Assisted Living Concepts, Inc., Beverly Enterprises, Inc., Extendicare Health Services, Inc., Harborside Healthcare Corporation, HEALTHSOUTH Corporation, Integrated Health Services, Inc., Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc., Mariner Post-Acute Network, Inc., NewCare Health Corporation, Res-Care, Inc., Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. and UNISON HealthCare Corporation. Of the operators of the facilities, only Alternative Living Services, Inc. and Beverly Enterprises, Inc. account for more than 10% of the Company's revenues. They accounted for 12% and 15%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had direct ownership of 154 skilled nursing facilities, 96 assisted living facilities, 9 continuing care retirement communities, 16 residential care facilities for the elderly, 2 rehabilitation hospitals and 3 medical clinics. All of the Company's owned facilities are leased under "net" leases (the "Leases"), which are accounted for as operating leases. The Leases have initial terms ranging from 9 to 19 years, and generally the Leases have two or more multiple-year renewal options. The Company earns fixed monthly minimum rents and may earn periodic additional rents. The additional rent payments are generally computed as a percentage of facility net patient revenues in excess of base amounts or as a percentage of the increase in the Consumer Price Index. Additional rents are generally calculated and payable monthly or quarterly. Most leases contain provisions such that the total rent cannot decrease from one year to the next. Most Leases contain cross- collateralization and cross-default provisions tied to other Leases with the same lessee, as well as grouped lease renewals and grouped purchase options. Obligations under the Leases have corporate guarantees, and Leases covering 176 facilities are backed by irrevocable letters of credit or security deposits that cover 1 to 12 months of monthly minimum rents. Under the terms of the Leases, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties. As of September 30, 1998, the Company held 34 mortgage loans secured by 44 skilled nursing facilities, 8 assisted living facilities and 5 continuing care retirement communities. As of September 30, 1998, the mortgage loans had a net book value of approximately $208,094,000 with individual outstanding balances ranging from approximately $571,000 to $21,500,000 and maturities ranging from 1999 to 2031. 5 (iii) Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Income available to common stockholders is calculated by deducting dividends declared on preferred stock from income from continuing operations and net income. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of the potential shares outstanding: dilutive stock options and dilutive convertible debentures. The effect of convertible debentures was not dilutive in 1998 and 1997.

(iv) The Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company intends to continue to qualify as such and therefore to distribute at least ninety-five percent (95%) of its taxable income to its stockholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes. (v) During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, the Company acquired 11 skilled nursing facilities, 14 assisted living facilities, 2 continuing care retirement communities and 8 residential care facilities for the elderly in 20 separate transactions for an aggregate investment of approximately $98,582,000. Construction of 10 assisted living facilities, 1 continuing care retirement community and 2 clinics was also completed, in which the Company's total aggregate investment was $82,886,000, $42,771,000 of which was a current year investment included in the new construction financing amount below. Upon acquisition or completion of construction, as applicable, the facilities were concurrently leased under terms generally similar to the Company's existing leases. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, the Company provided new construction financing of approximately $107,096,000. The Company also funded approximately $13,239,000 in capital improvements in 6 accordance with certain existing lease provisions. Such capital improvements will result in an increase in the minimum rents earned by the Company. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, the Company provided three mortgage loans, secured by one skilled nursing facility and two assisted living facilities, in an aggregate amount of $11,615,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company funded an additional $6,142,000 on existing mortgage loans. Such additional amounts funded will result in an increase in interest income earned by the Company. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, the Company sold two skilled nursing facilities in two separate transactions for an aggregate price of approximately $5,512,000, less transaction costs, resulting in an aggregate gain of approximately $2,321,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, two of the Company's mortgage loans matured and were repaid in full in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $5,382,000. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, the Company issued $125,150,000 in aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes. The notes bear fixed interest at a weighted average rate of 6.89% and have a weighted average maturity of 16.2 years. (vi) On April 29, 1998, the Company issued 1,048,128 shares of common stock resulting in aggregate proceeds, net of the underwriter's fee, of approximately $23,214,000 before expenses related to the offering. On September 25, 1998, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock resulting in aggregate proceeds, net of the underwriter's fee, of approximately $30,000,000 before expenses related to the offering. (vii) The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income and SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information which were issued in June 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131 is required in 1998. There are no differences between the Company's net income, as reported, and comprehensive income, as defined, for the periods presented. The Company believes it operates in only one business segment. EITF Issue No. 97-11 Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions released by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board which prohibits the capitalization of internal costs related to the acquisition of operating property was issued during the first quarter of 1998. The impact of this pronouncement is immaterial to the Company's financial statements. EITF Issue 98-9 Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods released by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board requires lessors to defer recognition of contingent rental income in interim periods until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. Under most of the Company's Leases the specific targets that trigger contingent rental income are met either monthly or quarterly and, therefore, EITF Issue 98-9 would not impact the Company's quarterly accounting for those Leases. The impact of the deferral of rental income recognition related to the Company's Leases under which the specific targets are annual is not material to the Company's financial condition or results of operations. 7 NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS September 30, 1998 Statement Regarding Forward Looking Disclosure Certain information contained in this report includes forward looking statements, which can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "should" or comparable terms or the negative thereof. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the statements. These risks and uncertainties include (without limitation) the following: the effect of economic and market conditions and changes in interest rates, government regulations, including changes in Medicare and Medicaid payment levels, changes in the health industry, the amount of any additional investments, access to capital markets and changes in the ratings of the Company's debt securities or preferred stock. Operating Results Nine Months 1998 Compared to Nine Months 1997 Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased $21,478,000 or 26% over the same period in 1997. The increase is due to increased minimum rent and interest income resulting from additional investments in real estate properties and mortgage loans receivable during the last twelve months. The increase was also attributable to increased additional rent and additional interest earned under the Company's existing leases and mortgage loans receivable based on increases in the facility revenues and the Consumer Price Index. Total expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 increased $12,819,000 or 34% over the same period in 1997. The increase is due to increased interest expense as a result of the issuance of fixed rate medium-term notes during the last twelve months and to increased depreciation in connection with the acquisition of additional facilities during the last twelve months. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $2,321,000 from the sale of two skilled nursing facilities. Third Quarter 1998 Compared to Third Quarter 1997 Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased $7,329,000 or 25% over the same period in 1997. The increase is due to increased minimum rent and interest income resulting from additional investments in real estate properties and mortgage loans receivable during the last twelve months, partially offset by the payoff of certain mortgage loans during the same period. The increase was also attributable to increased additional rent and additional interest earned under the Company's existing leases and mortgage loans receivable based on increases in the facility revenues and the Consumer Price Index. Total expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 1998 increased $4,716,000 or 35% over the same period in 1997. The increase is primarily due to increased interest expense as a result of the issuance of fixed rate medium- term notes during the last twelve months and to increased depreciation in connection with the acquisition of additional facilities during the last twelve months. The Company expects increased rental revenues and interest income due to the addition of facilities to its property base and mortgage loans receivable over the last twelve months. The Company also expects increased additional rent and additional interest because the Company's leases and mortgages generally contain provisions under which additional rents or interest income increase with increases in facility revenues and/or increases in the 8 Consumer Price Index. Historically, revenues at the Company's facilities and the Consumer Price Index generally have increased; although, there are no assurances that they will continue to increase in the future. Sales of facilities or repayments of mortgages would serve to offset the aforementioned revenue increases. Additional investments in health care facilities would also increase rental and/or interest income. As additional investments in facilities are made, depreciation and/or interest expense could also increase. Any such increases, however, are expected to be more than offset by rents or interest income associated with the investments. The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income and SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information which were issued in June 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131 is required in 1998. There are no differences between the Company's net income, as reported, and comprehensive income, as defined, for the periods presented. The Company believes it operates in only one business segment. Issue No. 97-11 Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions released by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board which prohibits the capitalization of internal costs related to the acquisition of operating property was issued during the first quarter of 1998. The impact of this pronouncement is immaterial to the Company's financial statements. EITF Issue 98-9 Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods released by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board requires lessors to defer recognition of contingent rental income in interim periods until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. Under most of the Company's Leases the specific targets that trigger contingent rental income are met either monthly or quarterly and, therefore, EITF Issue 98-9 would not impact the Company's quarterly accounting for those Leases. The impact of the deferral of rental income recognition related to the Company's Leases under which the specific targets are annual is not material to the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, the Company acquired 11 skilled nursing facilities, 14 assisted living facilities, 2 continuing care retirement communities and 8 residential care facilities for the elderly in 20 separate transactions for an aggregate investment of approximately $98,582,000. Construction of 10 assisted living facilities, 1 continuing care retirement community and 2 clinics was also completed, in which the Company's total aggregate investment was $82,886,000, $42,771,000 of which was a current year investment included in the new construction financing amount below. Upon acquisition or completion of construction, as applicable, the facilities were concurrently leased under terms generally similar to the Company's existing leases. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, the Company provided new construction financing of approximately $107,096,000. The Company also funded approximately $13,239,000 in capital improvements in accordance with certain existing lease provisions. Such capital improvements will result in an increase in the minimum rents earned by the Company. The acquisitions, construction advances and capital improvement advances were funded by borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit, approximately $4,137,000 of debt assumption, the issuance of $3,981,000 of debt, the issuance of 201,190 shares of the Company's common stock and by cash on hand. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, the Company provided three mortgage loans secured by one skilled nursing facility and two assisted living facilities in an aggregate amount of $11,615,000. The mortgage loans were funded by borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit and by cash on hand. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company funded an additional $6,142,000 on existing mortgage loans. Such additional amounts funded will result in an increase in interest income earned by the Company. The additional amounts funded were financed by borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit and by cash on hand. 9 During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, the Company sold two skilled nursing facilities in two separate transactions for an aggregate price of approximately $5,512,000, less transaction costs, resulting in an aggregate gain of approximately $2,321,000. The proceeds of the sales were used to repay borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, two of the Company's mortgage loans matured and were repaid in full in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $5,382,000. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company issued $125,150,000 in aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes. The notes bear fixed interest at a weighted average rate of 6.89% and have a weighted average maturity of 16.2 years. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit. At September 30, 1998, the Company had $69,600,000 available under its $100,000,000 bank line of credit. The Company has shelf registrations on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which the Company may issue (a) up to $119,850,000 in aggregate principal amount of medium term notes and (b) up to approximately $208,622,000 of securities including debt, convertible debt, common and preferred stock. The Company anticipates issuing securities under such shelf registrations to repay borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit. On April 29, 1998, the Company issued 1,048,128 shares of common stock resulting in aggregate proceeds, net of the underwriter's fee, of approximately $23,214,000 before expenses related to the offering. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit. On September 25, 1998, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock resulting in aggregate proceeds, net of the underwriter's fee, of approximately $30,000,000 before expenses related to the offering. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit. The Company anticipates making additional investments in health care related facilities.
