NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) Note 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The unaudited financial statements furnished herein in the opinion of management include all adjustments which are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of National Health Investors, Inc. ("NHI" or the "Company"). NHI assumes that users of the interim financial statements herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in NHI's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation, except in regard to material contingencies, may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnotes and other disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Company's most recent annual report to stockholders have been omitted. The interim financial information contained herein is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year because of various reasons including changes in interest rates, rents and the timing of debt and equity financings. Note 2. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE: Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Net income is reduced by dividends to holders of cumulative convertible preferred stock. Diluted earnings per common share assumes the conversion of cumulative convertible preferred stock, the conversion of convertible subordinated debentures and the exercise of all stock options using the treasury stock method unless the impact of such assumptions on the calculations of earnings per share is anti-dilutive. Diluted net income is increased for interest expense on the convertible subordinated debentures in 1999. The following table summarizes the earnings and the average number of common shares and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. 7 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC.

The above incremental shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, since inclusion of these incremental shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive. Note 3. INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES: NHI's investments in marketable securities include available for sale securities and held to maturity securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are recorded in stockholders' equity in accordance with SFAS 115. Realized gains and losses from securities sales are determined on the specific identification of the securities. Proceeds from the sale of investments in available for sale securities during the nine months ended September, 2000 were $11,785,805. Gross investment gains of $689,260 and gross investment losses of $1,308,131 were realized on these sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Note 4. COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES: At September 30, 2000, NHI was committed, subject to due diligence and financial performance goals, to fund approximately $6,107,199 in health care real estate projects of which approximately $4,107,199 is eligible to be funded within the next 12 months. The commitments include mortgage loans or purchase leaseback agreements for one long-term care center, two assisted living facilities, and one hospital all at rates ranging from 10% to 11.5%. NHI has recorded deferred income for commitment fees related to these loans where applicable. In order to obtain the consent of appropriate lenders to National HealthCare Corporation's ("NHC"'s) transfer of assets to NHI, NHI guaranteed certain debt ($12,640,000 at September 30, 2000) of NHC. The debt is at fixed interest rates with a weighted average interest rate of 8.3% at September 30, 2000. NHI receives from NHC compensation of approximately $63,000 per annum for the guarantees which is credited against NHC's base rent requirements. 9 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) In management's opinion, these guarantee fees approximate the guarantee fees that NHI would currently charge to enter into similar guarantees. All of the guaranteed indebtedness discussed above is secured by first mortgages and rights which may be enforced if either party is required to pay under their respective guarantees. NHC has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless NHI against any and all loss, liability or harm incurred by NHI as a result of having to perform under its guarantee of any or all of the guaranteed debt. NHI has outstanding letters of credit totaling $10,000,000. Additionally, NHI has also guaranteed bank loans in the amount of $1,442,000 to key employees and directors which amount was utilized for the exercise of NHI stock options. Shares of NHI stock are held as security by NHI and the loans are limited to $100,000 per individual per year. NHI is aware of certain income tax contingencies with regards to limitations on ownership of its stock and to its use of an independent contractor to manage certain of its foreclosure properties. In order to fully resolve the contingencies, NHI is in the process of requesting from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") closing agreements regarding each of these contingencies. NHI's management, based on its discussions with its legal counsel, understands that other real estate investment trusts have been successful in obtaining closing agreements with the IRS regarding real estate investment trust qualification issues. However, it is possible that the IRS will not rule in favor of NHI. Such an unfavorable ruling could result in the assessment of taxes, penalties and interest by the IRS that are material to NHI's financial statements taken as a whole and could also result in the loss of NHI's status as a real estate investment trust, which would have a significant adverse impact on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of NHI. Note 5. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES: At September 30, 2000, $38,060,000 of 7.75% convertible subordinated debentures due on January 2, 2001 (the "1995 debentures") remain outstanding. The 1995 debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into the common stock of NHI at a conversion price of $31.625, subject to adjustment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, none of the 1995 debentures were converted into common stock. NHI has reserved 1,203,478 shares of common stock for conversions of 1995 debentures. See Note 11 for a discussion of liquidity issues related to the maturity of the 1995 debentures. At September 30, 2000, $56,286,000 of 7% convertible subordinated debentures due on February 1, 2004 (the "1997 debentures") remain outstanding. The 1997 debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at a conversion price of $37.50, subject to adjustment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, none of the 1997 debentures were converted into common stock. NHI has reserved 1,500,960 shares of common stock for conversions of 1997 debentures. 10 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, $1,190,000 of debentures due on January 1, 2006 were redeemed related to "1995 debt service debentures" issued to mortgagees or lessees to satisfy debt service escrow requirements. The debentures were convertible at the option of the holder into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of 110% of the market price on the date of issuance of the debentures, subject to adjustment. At September 30, 2000, $205,000 of the 10% senior convertible subordinated debentures due 2006 (the "senior debentures") remain outstanding. The senior debentures are convertible into the common stock of the Company at $20 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, none of the senior debentures were converted. The Company has reserved 10,250 shares of common stock for conversion of the senior debentures. Note 6. CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK: In February and March, 1994, NHI issued $109,558,000 of 8.5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("8.5% Preferred Stock") with a liquidation preference of $25 per share. Dividends at an annual rate of $2.125 are cumulative from the date of issuance and are paid quarterly. At September 30, 2000, $18,699,850 of the preferred stock remains outstanding. The 8.5% Preferred Stock is convertible into NHI common stock at the option of the holder at any time at a conversion price of $27.625 per share of common stock, which is equivalent to a conversion rate of 0.905 per share of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The 8.5% Preferred Stock is redeemable by NHI for common stock only if the trading price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") exceeds $27.625 per share for 20 trading days within a period of 30 trading days prior to the exercise. NHI has reserved 676,918 shares of common stock for 8.5% Preferred Stock conversions. The 8.5% Preferred Stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol "NHIPr." On March 31, 2000, NHI issued $3,000,000 of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "2000 Preferred Stock"). The 2000 Preferred Stock, which is not listed on a stock exchange, is convertible into NHI common stock at the lower of the then trading value of NHI common stock or $12.00 per share after December 31, 2000. The shares pay dividends at the rate of 8% through June 30, 2000, at the rate of 10% from July 1, 2000 through September 30, 2000, and at the rate of 12% thereafter. The 2000 Preferred Stock was sold to NHC, the Company's investment advisor. NHI has reserved 250,000 shares of common stock for preferred stock conversion related to this issue. 11 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) Note 7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT: In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS 133, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS 133", is effective for NHI effective January 1, 2001. The impact of the adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material impact on NHI's results of operations or financial position. In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101") regarding revenue recognition in financial statements. SAB 101 is effective January 1, 2000; however, implementation has been delayed until the fourth quarter of 2000. NHI's implementation of SAB 101 in the fourth quarter is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Note 8. SALE OF REAL ESTATE: In 1993, NHI funded a mortgage loan for Stockbridge Investment Partners, Inc. and its subsidiary York Hannover Nursing Centers, Inc. ("York Hannover") in the original principal amount of $29,500,000. Collateral for the loan included first mortgages on six long-term health care centers located in the state of Florida, the personal guarantee of certain of the owners, certain accounts receivable balances above another creditor's $2,000,000 loan, and the corporate guarantee of NHC for up to $5,000,000 of principal and interest. On December 30, 1999, NHI purchased from the borrowers for approximately $25,900,000 (the then current loan balance) all of the real estate, property and equipment of the six long-term health care facilities. NHI also received on December 30, 1999, the accounts receivable of the facilities approximating $2,200,000 as consideration for unpaid interest on the mortgage loan. The purchase was undertaken in lieu of foreclosure. Effective January 1, 2000, NHI sold to Care Foundation of America, Inc. ("Care") all of the real estate, property and equipment of the six long-term nursing facilities. The sale price was $25,900,000, which was NHI's basis in the properties. Care assumed the first mortgage which had previously been owed by York Hannover. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate", NHI has accounted for the sale under the installment method. The note receivable from Care bears interest at 10% and is collateralized by the first mortgages on the six long-term health care facilities and the corporate guarantee of NHC for up to $3,000,000 of principal and interest. 12 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) Note 9. MORTGAGE AND OTHER NOTES RECEIVABLE: Borrower Bankruptcy NHI was informed on November 4, 1999, that Lenox Healthcare, Inc. and its affiliates ("Lenox") have filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy District Court in Wilmington, Delaware. NHI's loans may be impacted as follows: Zurich North America Capital Corporation - In 1996, NHI funded a mortgage loan for Zurich North America Capital Corporation in the original principal amount of $26,000,000. Collateral for the loan includes first mortgages on ten long-term health care facilities, leasehold assignment of certain existing leases on the properties, the corporate guarantees of Lenox and Greylock Health Corporation, and certain personal guarantees. Lenox is the manager of nine of the ten long-term health care facilities located in the states of Kansas and Missouri. The tenth facility has been closed during the bankruptcy. At September 30, 2000, the net carrying value of the loan is approximately $23,800,000. NHI is currently evaluating the health care center portion of the collateral given the bankruptcy status of the manager and other circumstances affecting the centers but believes that the combined collateral supports the net carrying value of the mortgage. On September 26, 2000, NHI and the debtor in possession entered into a Settlement Agreement, which is subject to approval by the creditors of the bankrupt estate and the bankruptcy court. The proposed agreement will verify the principal balance of the mortgage as of June 30, 2000, and restate the interest rate on the restated mortgage amount at rates from 9 to 11 percent with the mortgage balance becoming due and payable on December 31, 2002. Additionally, Lenox has recommenced making interest payments on the loan. Pinellas Healthcare Investors, Inc. - In 1995, NHI funded a mortgage loan for Pinellas Healthcare Investors, Inc. in the original principal amount of $4,500,000. An affiliate of Lenox was the operator and lessee of the facility. Collateral for the loan included a first mortgage on the facility, the corporate guarantee of Stockbridge Investment Partners, Inc., certain personal guarantees, and certain accounts receivable. During the second quarter of 2000, Lenox notified NHI that it rejected its lease with bankruptcy court approval. NHI approved the assignment of the Lenox lease to an unaffiliated company in order to allow the center to continue operations. On September 15, 2000, NHI completed foreclosure action against the borrower and obtained title to the project in the name of an NHI subsidiary. At September 30, 2000, the net carrying value of the realty is approximately $1,449,000. Although the property has been leased to a third party, rental income is limited to available cash flow, of which there currently is none. NHI believes that the combined collateral supports the net carrying value of the realty. 13 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) Colonial Land Corporation - In 1996, NHI funded a mortgage loan for Colonial Land Corporation in the original amount of $25,000,000. Collateral for the loan includes first mortgages and lease assignments on six long-term health care facilities located in Virginia. Although Colonial Land Corporation is not included in the Lenox bankruptcy filing, Lenox manages three of the facilities, and Mr. Tom Clarke, the principal owner of Lenox, is also an owner of Colonial Land Corporation. At September 30, 2000, the net carrying value of the loan is approximately $19,300,000, which earns interest at 10.8%. NHI is currently evaluating the health care portion of the collateral given the bankruptcy status of the manager and other circumstances affecting the centers but believes that the combined collateral supports the net carrying value of the mortgage. Other Entities Owned by Principals of Lenox - Not Affected by Lenox Bankruptcy - Although not impacted by the bankruptcy filing, Mr. Tom Clarke, the principal owner of Lenox, is involved as a principal in other entities financed by NHI. The carrying value of NHI's investments in these other entities is $10,200,000 at September 30, 2000. At the present time, NHI knows of no reason to assume that these entities will be negatively impacted by the Lenox filing or that any loss of income or asset value will occur. Other Non-Performing Loans Brookside Inn - NHI's investment totaled $5,138,000 as of September 30, 2000. NHI has initiated foreclosure proceedings against the owner, but is currently forbearing from pursuing this action. The owner is making current payments, plus repaying over the next eighteen months approximately four months of missed payments. NHI believes that the expected cash flows from this loan, along with the value of the collateral, support the net carrying value of this loan. SouthTrust Loan Participation - NHI has a 50% interest in a loan made by SouthTrust Bank to Integrated Health Services, Inc. ("IHS"). NHI's loan balance at September 30, 2000 totaled $25,643,000. IHS and its affiliates have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In May 2000 during a collateralization hearing, the bankruptcy court ruled that the value of the collateral supporting NHI's loan exceeds the balance due to NHI under the loan. Based on this ruling and based on NHI's knowledge, NHI believes that the collateral supports the net carrying value of this loan; however, the debtor is not currently making mortgage payments. NHI and SouthTrust Bank have filed for a bankruptcy court order requiring IHS to make "adequate protection payments" and are awaiting the ruling of the Court. Autumn Hills Convalescent Centers, Inc. - In 1997, NHI funded a mortgage loan for Autumn Hills Convalescent Centers, Inc. in the original principal amount of $51,500,000. Collateral for the loan includes first mortgages on thirteen long-term health facilities, and certain corporate and personal guarantees. These facilities are located in Texas. 14 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) At September 30, 2000 the net carrying value of the loan is approximately $45,200,000, which earns 10.5% interest. NHI has not received all principal and interest payments as due and has entered into a Forbearance Agreement with the Borrower. This Agreement allows for partial payments while the Borrower secures HUD financing. NHI is currently evaluating the health care center portion of the collateral given the circumstances affecting the centers but believes that the combined collateral supports the net carrying value of the mortgage. NHI has filed a lawsuit against the individual guarantor on his guarantee. Morningside - NHI's investment totaled approximately $21,200,000 at September 30, 2000 and is secured by four long-term health care facilities in Virginia and Maryland. NHI has not received all principal and interest payments as due and the owners of the facilities have indicated that they will make no additional equity contributions to the facilities. NHI is currently evaluating the collateral supporting this loan but believes that it supports the net carrying value of the mortgage. Loan Reserves During the third quarter, NHI concluded that current events surrounding six mortgage loans discussed above required the writeoff of previously recorded interest receivables under the Company's policy to accrue up to 90 days of unpaid interest if believed collectable. These write offs, totaling $4,584,000, have been included in loan loss expense in the interim condensed consolidated statement of income. During this quarter, these loans were affected by various bankruptcy court rulings and judgments about possible refinancing and other collateral values to the extent that NHI determined that the accruals should be reserved. Also, NHI determined that any additional accruals for payments not received on these loans during the quarter should not be recorded. NHI has been during the third quarter and is continuing to evaluate the current events and circumstances that are affecting the borrowers under these six mortgage loans totaling a net book value of $139,838,000 million. These borrowers have either filed for protection under the bankruptcy laws or have not made scheduled payments under their loans. NHI believes that additional events (including borrowers emerging from bankruptcy, additional bankruptcy court rulings or the completion by the borrowers of refinancings with other lenders or other events that effect collectibility) could occur during the fourth quarter of 2000. NHI is concerned that these events, if adverse to NHI, will indicate a further impairment of the net book value of these loans. If such adverse events occur, NHI will record the impairment charges in the fourth quarter. However, NHI believes that the effect of any adverse events would not exceed $15,000,000. Mortgage and other notes receivable are reduced by an allowance for loan losses of $9,346,000 at September 30, 2000. 15 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) Note 10: DEBT AND RELATED GUARANTEE NHC and NHI both have interests in a debt instrument originally financed through the National Health Corporation Leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust. As of September 30, 2000, the total debt balance on the loan was $23,214,000, of which $10,574,000 is the primary obligation of NHI. NHI guarantees, and is contingently obligated on, the remaining $12,640,000 of the outstanding balance under this loan. On July 7, 2000, under the terms of the debt agreement, NHC, as NHI's investment advisor, purchased the entire $23,214,000 debt instrument from the previous holders to protect NHC's interest in the debt. On September 30, 2000, NHI had the liquidity and purchased the $23,214,000 debt instrument from NHC. Subsequent to the quarter end and as required by NHI's amended Revolving Credit Facility on November 10, 2000, NHC repurchased the outstanding notes from NHI. NHI believes that all terms and conditions of this and other debt obligations are currently in full compliance. Note 11. LIQUIDITY DEMANDS AND CAPITAL RAISING ALTERNATIVES Two significant capital needs are being addressed by NHI. The first is the renewal of the existing $102,112,000 revolving credit facility (including $12,112,000 in letters of credit), which matured on November 10, 2000. The second is the maturity of NHI's $38,060,000 subordinated convertible debenture issue, which matures on January 2, 2001. These maturing debt issue challenges are compounded by the lack of capital available for health care REITs, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. On November 10, 2000, NHI and its lending group led by Bank of Tokyo- Mitsubishi extended the then $102,112,000 Credit Facility and combined that facility with the $25,000,000 Bank of Montreal Term Note, formerly due July 31, 2002. This combined and extended facility was reduced prior to closing by the payment of $31,000,000. $7,500,000 was paid on October 10, 2000 for a 30 day extension and $23,500,000 was paid on November 10, 2000. The new facility is divided into three tranches. One tranche is $65,455,000 (previously the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi revolving line of credit), the second tranche is $18,545,000 (previously the Bank of Montreal Term Loan) and the third tranche is a letter of credit tranche for $12,112,000. A portion of the first two tranches are secured by an assignment of certain notes receivable owned by NHI, with the balance being unsecured. The combined facility will be amortized at $1,000,000 a month commencing on December 1, 2000 through June 1, 2001, and for July 1, 2000 through December 1, 2001 at $2 million a month. Additional installments in the amount of $18,000,000, $41,300,000 (including the letter of credit component) and $10,800,000 are due and payable on June 1, 2001, December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002 respectively. 16 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) In order to address the maturation of $38,000,000 of subordinated convertible debentures maturing on January 2, 2001, NHI has announced that it plans to register up to $38,000,000 of senior subordinated convertible debentures, the proceeds of which will be used to retire that indebtedness. These senior subordinated convertible debentures will be offered first to existing shareholders of NHI, then to the current holders of the subordinated debentures maturing January 2001, with the balance being publicly sold. It is anticipated that the terms and conditions of this offering will be contained in a Prospectus to be mailed to existing shareholders and the current subordinated debenture holders during the week of November 20, 2000. In regard to the raising of necessary capital in order to meet the payment schedule on the restated and combined credit facility, NHI has assembled a group of assets and entered into at least one agreement for the sale of these assets. Additionally, NHI is aggressively pursuing the refinancing of other assets using the Federal Housing Authority Section 232 Mortgage Guaranty Program. Finally, the Company has announced that it will not pay a dividend for the last two fiscal quarters of calendar year 2000, dedicating that cash flow to the retirement of debt. The Company is continuing to review other alternatives, including the issuance of an additional publicly sold or privately placed debt instrument, the additional sale of assets, and other similar capital raising alternatives. The long-term goal of NHI is to reduce its debt so as to remove the uncertainty of the payment and amount of the dividend to shareholders in the future. The lack of availability of reasonably priced capital limits NHI's ability to make new investments, and future refinancings at higher interest rates or the inability of the Company to repay or extend debt when due would have a material adverse impact on NHI's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Note 12. ADVISORY AGREEMENT: NHI has entered into an Advisory Agreement with NHC whereby services related to investment activities and day-to-day management and operations are provided to NHI by NHC. As Advisor, NHC is subject to the supervision of and policies established by NHI's Board of Directors. Either party may terminate the Advisory Agreement on 90 days notice at any time. NHI may terminate the Advisory Agreement for cause at any time. For its services under the Advisory Agreement, NHC is entitled to annual compensation of $2,779,000 in 1999 ($3,310,000 in 1998 and $3,101,000 in 1997). The annual compensation is reduced by any compensation paid by NHI to its executive officers, if any. However, the payment of such annual compensation is conditional upon NHI having funds from operations of $2.00 per common share. Funds from operations is defined for these purposes as net income, plus depreciation and amortization, less the effect of any capital gains or losses included in such net income. Compensation to NHC under the Advisory Agreement is related to increases and decreases in NHI's funds from operations per common share as defined above. 17 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations Overview National Health Investors, Inc. ("NHI" or the "Company") is a real estate investment trust which invests primarily in income producing health care properties with emphasis on the long-term care sector. As of September 30, 2000, NHI had interests in net real estate owned, and investments in mortgages, REMICs, preferred stock and marketable securities resulting in total invested assets of $746.6 million. NHI's strategy has been to primarily invest in long term health care real estate which generates current income which will be distributed to stockholders. Under current market conditions, however, no such investments are currently being solicited or closed. As of September 30, 2000, the Company was diversified with investments in 199 health care facilities located in 26 states consisting of 143 long-term care facilities, two acute care hospitals, eight medical office buildings, 22 assisted living facilities, seven retirement centers and 17 residential projects for the developmentally disabled. These investments consisted of approximately $335.1 million aggregate principal amount of loans to 28 borrowers, $283.9 million of purchase leaseback transactions with seven lessees and $37.3 million invested in REMIC pass through certificates backed by first mortgage loans to 10 operators. Of these 199 facilities, 59 are leased to National HealthCare Corporation ("NHC"). NHC is the Company's investment advisor. At September 30, 2000, 58.5% of the total invested assets of the health care facilities were operated by public operators, 20.5% by regional operators, and 21.0% by small operators. Liquidity and Capital Resources Sources and Uses of Funds NHI has generated net cash from operating activities during the first nine months of 2000 totaling $44.2 million compared to $50.1 million in the prior period. The primary reason for this period's decline was a reduction in net income offset in part by increased depreciation expense. Net cash from operating activities generally includes net income plus non-cash expenses, such as depreciation and amortization and working capital changes. Cash flows provided by investing activities during the first nine months of 2000 included collection on mortgage notes receivable of $18.9 million compared to $14.7 million for the prior period. Marketable securities decreased $12.4 million for the first nine months of 2000. Cash flows used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2000 included investment in mortgage notes receivable of $28.1 million and real estate properties of $2.7 million. Cash flows used in investing activities of the prior period included investment in mortgage notes receivable of $20.9 million, real estate properties of $14.9 million, and marketable securities of $33.2 million. 18 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) Cash flows provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2000 included $2.0 million from credit facility proceeds, compared to $29.5 million in the prior period. Proceeds from long term debt were $.8 million for the first nine months of 2000, compared to $25.7 million for the prior period. Proceeds from the sale of preferred stock totaled $3.0 million in the 2000 period. The 2000 preferred stock was sold to NHC, the Company's investment advisor. Cash flows used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2000 included principal payments on long-term debt of $2.9 million and dividends paid to shareholders of $50.6 million. This compares to principal payments on long term debt of $2.7 million and dividends paid to shareholders of $55.3 million in the prior period. In March and June 2000, NHI declared quarterly dividends of 64 cents per common share, a reduction of 10 cents per common share from 1999. NHI has concluded that the Company will not make any cash dividend distribution during the third and fourth quarters of 2000. The discontinuance of dividends reflects the Company's concern over continuing volatility in the long-term care industry, increased interest expense on the Company's bank debt and the fact that $128.2 of its debt is currently due. See Note 11: "Liquidity Demands and Capital Raising Alternatives" for additional comments. NHI intends to maintain its REIT tax status for the year ended December 31, 2000 and thereafter. Commitments to Fund Projects At September 30, 2000, the Company was committed, subject to due diligence and financial performance goals, to fund approximately $6.1 million in health care real estate projects, of which approximately $4.1 million is expected to be funded within the next 12 months. The commitments include mortgage loans or purchase leaseback agreements for one long-term health care center, two assisted living facilities, and one hospital all at rates ranging from 10% to 11.5%. Financing for current commitments and future commitments to others may be provided by cash balances, new lines of credit, private placements or public offerings of debt or equity, the assumption of secured or unsecured indebtedness, or by the sale of all or a portion of certain currently held investments. NHI is currently limited in its ability to make new investments due to a lack of availability of reasonably priced capital. However, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity and cash flow to finance current investments for which it is committed. 19 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) Liquidity Demands and Capital Raising Alternatives NHI's restated and consolidated credit facility was closed on November 10, 2000 and requires significant principal reductions during 2001 and 2002 totaling $103.5 million. In addition, $38.1 million of the Company's convertible subordinated debentures outstanding at September 30, 2000 mature on January 2, 2001. It is unlikely that holders of these convertible subordinated debentures will convert them to common stock prior to January 1, 2001. These maturing debt issue challenges are compounded by the lack of capital available for health care REIT's, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. Management is considering several possible solutions in order to meet these short-term liquidity demands. On November 10, 2000, NHI and its lending group led by Bank of Tokyo- Mitsubishi extended the then $102 million Revolving Credit Facility and combined that facility with the $25 million Bank of Montreal Term Note, formerly due July 31, 2002. This combined and extended facility was reduced prior to closing by the payment of $31.0 million. On October 10, 2000, $7.5 million was paid for a 30 day extension, and on November 10, 2000, $23,500,000 was paid. The new facility is divided into three tranches. One tranche is $65.5 million (previously the Bank of Tokyo - Mitsubishi revolving line of credit), the second tranche is $18.5 million (previously the Bank of Montreal Term Loan) and the third tranche is a letter of credit tranche for $12.1 million. A portion of the first two tranches are secured by an assignment of certain notes receivable owned by NHI, with the balance being unsecured. The combined facility will be amortized at $1 million a month commencing on December 1, 2000 through June 1, 2001, and for July 1, 2000 through December 1, 2001 at $2 million a month. Additional installments in the amount of $18 million, $41.3 million (including the letter of credit component) and $10.8 million are due and payable on June 1, 2001, December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002 respectively. In order to address the maturation of $38 million of subordinated convertible debentures maturing on January 2, 2001, the Company has announced that it is registering up to $38 million of senior subordinated convertible debentures, the proceeds of which will be used to retire that indebtedness. These senior subordinated convertible debentures will be offered, first, to existing shareholders of the Company, then to the current holders of the subordinated debentures maturing January 2001, with the balance being publicly sold. It is anticipated that the terms and conditions of this offering will be contained in a Prospectus to be mailed to existing shareholders and the current subordinated debenture holders on or about the week of November 20, 2000. In regard to the raising of necessary capital in order to meet the payment schedule on the restated and combined credit facility, the Company has assembled a group of assets and entered into at least one agreement for the sale of these assets. Additionally, the Company is aggressively pursuing the refinancing of other assets using the Federal Housing Authority Section 232 Mortgage Guaranty Program. Finally, the Company has announced that it will not pay a dividend for the last two fiscal quarters of calendar year 2000, dedicating that cash flow to the retirement of debt. The Company is continuing to review other alternatives, including the issuance of a publicly sold or privately placed debt instrument, the additional sale of assets, and other similar capital raising alternatives. 20 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) The lack of availability of reasonably priced capital limits NHI's ability to make new investments, and future refinancings at higher interest rates or the inability of the Company to repay or extend debt when due would have a material adverse impact on NHI's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Loan Foreclosures and Bankruptcy During late 1998 and during 1999, NHI purchased 17 long-term health care facilities and a retirement center for $81.4 million. The purchases were undertaken either in foreclosure or in lieu of foreclosure due to financial defaults on first mortgage loans with three different owners. The mortgages had been funded from 1993 through 1996 in original principal amounts totaling $88.6 million. NHI is treating each of the properties described above as foreclosure property for federal income tax purposes. With this election, unqualified income generated by the properties is expected to be treated as qualified income for a minimum of two years from the purchase date for purpose of the income-source tests that must be satisfied by real estate investment trusts to maintain their tax status. In January 2000, NHI sold the real estate, property and equipment of six long-term health care facilities on which it had foreclosed (and which is included in the $81.4 million mentioned above) to Care Foundation of America, Inc. ("Care") for $25.9 million in exchange for a note receivable from Care. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate", NHI has accounted for the transaction under the installment method. The note receivable from Care bears interest at 10% and is collateralized by the first mortgages on the six long-term health care facilities and the corporate guarantee of NHC for up to $3.0 million of principal and interest. As more fully described in Note 9 to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, during late 1999, NHI was informed of the bankruptcy of one of its major customers. The bankruptcy has resulted in the foreclosure of one loan on September 15, 2000, with title to the realty being taken in the name of a subsidiary. The bankruptcy may additionally affect two of NHI's mortgage loans. The two loans, which are secured by 16 long-term health care facilities and other property, were made to two different entities in the original principal amounts totaling $51.0 million. Current carrying amounts of the two loans total $43.1 million. NHI is currently evaluating the collateral given for the loans, but believes that for each of the two loans the collateral supports the net carrying value of the loan. Loan Income Recognition During the third quarter, NHI concluded that the current events surrounding six mortgage loans discussed above required the writeoff of previously recorded interest receivables under the Company's policy to accrue up to 90 days of unpaid interest if believed collectable. These write offs, totaling $4.6 million, have been included in loan loss expense in the interim condensed consolidated statement of income. During this quarter, these loans were affected by various bankruptcy court rulings and judgments about possible refinancing and other collateral values to the extent that NHI determined that the accruals should be 21 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) reserved. Also, NHI determined that any additional accruals for payments not received on these loans during the quarter should not be recorded. NHI has been during the third quarter and is continuing to evaluate the current events and circumstances that are affecting the borrowers under these six mortgage loans totaling a net book value of $139.8 million. These borrowers have either filed for protection under the bankruptcy laws or have not made scheduled payments under their loans. NHI believes that additional events (including borrowers emerging from bankruptcy, additional bankruptcy court rulings or the completion by the borrowers of refinancings with other lenders or other events that effect collectibility) could occur during the fourth quarter of 2000. NHI is concerned that these events, if adverse to NHI, will indicate a further impairment of the net book value of these loans. If such adverse events occur, NHI will record the impairment charges in the fourth quarter. However, NHI believes that the effect of any adverse events would not exceed $15.0 million. Mortgage and other notes receivable are reduced by an allowance for loan losses of $9.3 million at September 30, 2000. Debt and Related Guarantee NHC and NHI both have interests in a debt instrument originally financed through the National Health Corporation Leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust. As of September 30, 2000, the total debt balance on the loan was $23.2 million, of which $10.6 million is the primary obligation of NHI. NHI guarantees, and is contingently obligated on, the remaining $12.6 million of the outstanding balance under this loan. On July 7, 2000, under the terms of the debt agreement, NHC, as NHI's investment advisor, purchased the entire $23.2 million debt instrument from the previous holders to protect NHC's interest in the debt. On September 30, 2000, NHI had the liquidity and purchased the $23.2 million debt instrument from NHC. Subsequent to the quarter end and as required by NHI's amended Revolving Credit Facility on November 10, 2000, NHC repurchased the outstanding notes from NHI. NHI believes that all terms and conditions of this and other debt obligations are currently in full compliance. Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 is $5.4 million versus $15.8 million for the same period in 1999, a decrease of 66.1%. Earnings per common share decreased 43 cents or 68.3%, to $.20 in the 2000 period from $.63 in the 1999 period. Total revenues for three months ended September 30, 2000 increased $2.1 million or 6.4% to $35.0 million from $32.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Revenues from mortgage interest income decreased $4.5 million, or 35.2%, when compared to the same period in 1999. Revenues from rental income increased $.2 million, or 1.8% in 2000 as compared to 1999. Revenues from investment interest, dividends and other income decreased $.5 million or 17.6% compared to 1999. Facility operating revenue increased $6.9 million to $12.5 million in 2000 compared to $5.6 million in 1999. 22 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) The decrease in mortgage interest income is due to a decline in the average amount of mortgage investments outstanding as a result of foreclosure on mortgage loans and due to the discontinuation of interest income recognition on other loans. During 1999, NHI foreclosed or received deeds in lieu of foreclosure on mortgage loans totaling $41.8 million, which resulted in the acquisition of seven long-term health care centers and one retirement center. See "Loan Income Recognition" above regarding discontinuation of income recognition on certain loans. The increase in rental income resulted primarily from the increase in investments in real estate properties of $14.3 million during 1999. The decrease in investment interest, dividends, and other income is due primarily to the disposal of $12.4 million in marketable securities during 2000. The increase in facility operating revenues is due primarily to the purchase, in lieu of foreclosure, of seven long-term health care centers and one retirement center previously managed and guaranteed by Phoenix Healthcare Corporation (formerly Iatros Health Network) in August, 1999. Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased $12.5 million or 73.3% to $29.6 million from $17.1 million for 1999. Interest expense increased $1.2 million or 17.8% in 2000 as compared to 1999. Depreciation of real estate increased $.4 million or 12.5% when compared to 1999. Facility operating expense increased $7.4 million to $12.6 million in 2000 compared to $5.2 million in 1999. Interest expense increased due to increased interest rates and borrowing on credit facilities and long-term debt compared to the prior period. Depreciation increased as a result of the Company placing newly constructed assets in service, property acquisitions, and the purchase, in lieu of foreclosure, of seven long term health care centers and one retirement center previously managed and guaranteed by Phoenix Healthcare Corporation (formerly Iatros Health Network) in August, 1999. The increase in facility operating expense is due to the purchase, in lieu of foreclosure, of seven long-term health care centers and one retirement center previously managed and guaranteed by Phoenix Healthcare Corporation (formerly Iatros Health Network) in August, 1999. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 is $33.2 million versus $48.0 million for the same period in 1999, a decrease of 30.8%. Basic net income per common share decreased 61 cents or 31.8%, to $1.31 in the 2000 period from $1.92 in the 1999 period. 23 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $19.1 million or 20.8% to $111.0 million from $91.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Revenues from mortgage interest income decreased $8.9 million, or 23.6% when compared to the same period in 1999. Revenues from rental income increased $.9 million, or 2.6% in 2000 as compared to 1999. Revenues from investment interest, dividends and other income increased $.2 million or 2.8% compared to 1999. Facility operating revenue increased $26.9 to $38.8 million in 2000 compared to $11.9 million in 1999. The decrease in mortgage interest income is due to a decline in the average amount of mortgage investments outstanding as a result of foreclosure on mortgage loans and due to the discontinuation of interest income recognition on other loans. During 1999, NHI foreclosed or received deeds in lieu of foreclosure on mortgage loans totaling $41.8 million, which resulted in the purchase of seven long-term health care centers and one retirement center. See "Loan Income Recognition" above regarding discontinuation of income recognition on certain loans. The increase in rental income resulted primarily from the increase in investments in real estate properties of $14.3 million during 1999. The increase in investment interest, dividends and other income is after giving consideration to reduced income due to the disposal of $12.4 million in marketable securities during 1999. The increase in facility operating revenues is due primarily to the purchase, in lieu of foreclosure, of seven long-term health care centers and one retirement center previously managed and guaranteed by Phoenix Healthcare Corporation (formerly Iatros Health Network) in August, 1999. Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $33.9 million or 77.1% to $77.8 million from $43.9 million for 1999. Interest expense increased $3.0 million or 15.7% in 2000 as compared to 1999. Depreciation of real estate increased $1.9 million or 23.0% when compared to 1999. General and administrative costs increased $0.9 million or 34.2% Facility operating expense increased $26.4 million to $37.2 million in 2000 compared to $10.8 million in 1999. Interest expense increased due to increased interest rates and borrowing on credit facilities and long-term debt compared to the prior period. Depreciation increased as a result of the Company placing newly constructed assets in service, property acquisitions, and the purchase, in lieu of foreclosure, of seven long term health care centers and one retirement center previously managed and guaranteed by Phoenix Healthcare Corporation (formerly Iatros Health Network) in August, 1999. The increase in facility operating expense is due to the purchase, in lieu of foreclosure, of seven long-term health care centers and one retirement center previously managed and guaranteed by Phoenix Healthcare Corporation (formerly Iatros Health Network) in August, 1999. 24 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) Income Taxes NHI intends at all times to qualify as a real estate investment trust under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended. Therefore, NHI will not be subject to federal income tax provided it distributes at least 95% of its annual real estate investment trust taxable income to its stockholders (90% in 2001 and thereafter) and meets other requirements to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements. NHI's failure to continue to qualify under the applicable REIT qualification rules and regulations would have a material adverse impact on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of NHI. NHI intends to maintain its REIT tax status for the year ended December 31, 2000 and thereafter. NHI is aware of certain income tax contingencies with regards to limitations on ownership of its stock and to its use of an independent contractor to manage certain of its foreclosure properties. In order to fully resolve the contingencies, NHI is in the process of requesting from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") closing agreements regarding each of these contingencies. NHI's management, based on its discussions with its legal counsel, understands that other real estate investment trusts have been successful in obtaining closing agreements with the IRS regarding real estate investment trust qualification issues. However, it is possible that the IRS will not rule in favor of NHI. Such an unfavorable ruling could result in the assessment of taxes, penalties and interest by the IRS that are material to NHI's financial statements taken as a whole and could also result in the loss of NHI's status as a real estate investment trust, which would have a significant adverse impact on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of NHI. Impact of Inflation Inflation may affect the Company in the future by changing the underlying value of the Company's real estate or by impacting the Company's cost of financing its operations. Revenues of the Company are primarily from long-term investments. Certain of the Company's leases require increases in rental income based upon increases in the revenues of the tenants. The Company has negotiated similar provisions in many of its mortgage notes receivable. 25 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS 133, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS 133", is effective for NHI effective January 1, 2001. The impact of the adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material impact on NHI's results of operations or financial position. In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101") regarding revenue recognition in financial statements. SAB 101 is effective January 1, 2000; however, implementation has been delayed until the fourth quarter of 2000. NHI's implementation of SAB 101 in the fourth quarter is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Forward Looking Statements Statements in this Report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. In addition to the factors discussed above, among the other factors that could cause actual results, performance and achievements of the Company to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements implied by such forward-looking statements are the following: ability to reach agreement with certain creditors to extend maturity on terms the Company believes are reasonable prior to due dates; receipts of sufficient cash flow to repay debt as it becomes due; ability to continue to meet REIT status; general industry distress, including the on-going effect of reimbursement cutbacks; additional bankruptcy filings or other financial problems by lessees, mortgagors or managers of healthcare facilities in which the Company has an interest; and the description of the risk factors mentioned from time to time in the Company's SEC reports, including, but not limited to the reports on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. NHI cautions investors that any forward-looking statements may involve risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. NHI has no duty to update information in this report. All forward looking statements represent NHI's judgments as of the date of this report. 26 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Information About Market Risk INTEREST RATE RISK The Company's cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months. All of the Company's mortgage and other notes receivable bear interest at fixed interest rates. The Company's investment in preferred stock represents an investment in the preferred stock of another real estate investment trust and bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.5%. The underlying mortgages included in the Company's investments in real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMIC's") also bear interest at fixed interest rates. As a result of the short-term nature of the Company's cash instruments and because the interest rates on the Company's investment in notes receivable, preferred stock and REMIC's are fixed, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates has no impact on the Company's future earnings and cash flows related to these instruments. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates has an immaterial impact on the fair values of these instruments. As of September 30, 2000, $111,233,000 of the Company's long-term debt bears interest at fixed interest rates. As of September 30, 2000, all of the Company's $94,551,000 of convertible subordinated debentures bear interest at fixed rates. Because the interest rates of these instruments are fixed, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates has no impact on the Company's future earnings and cash flows related to these instruments. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates has an immaterial impact on the fair values of these instruments. The remaining $59,528,000 of the Company's long-term debt and $90,000,000 line of credit facility bear interest at variable rates. However, in order to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on its variable rate debt, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements whereby the Company has exchanged certain variable interest rates on a $25,000,000 notional principal amount for a fixed rate of interest. Therefore, after including the mitigating impact of the interest rate swaps, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates has an immaterial impact on the Company's future earnings and cash flows related to these instruments. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates has an immaterial impact on the fair values of these instruments. The Company's use of derivative instruments is limited to the interest rate swaps discussed above. The Company does use derivative instruments for trading purposes and the use of such instruments is subject to strict approvals by the Company's senior officers. The Company's exposure related to such derivative instruments is not material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 27 NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) EQUITY PRICE RISK The Company's investments in marketable securities include available for sale securities and held to maturity securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are recorded in stockholders' equity in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115. The investments in marketable securities classified as available for sale are recorded at their fair market value based on quoted market prices. Thus, there is exposure to equity price risk, which is the potential change in fair value due to a change in quoted market prices. Hypothetically, a 10% change in quoted market prices would result in a related 10% change in the fair value of the Company's investments in marketable securities classified as available for sale. In addition, a hypothetical 10% change in the quoted market prices of the Company's subordinated convertible debentures would result in a related 10% change in the fair value of the debenture instruments.
