NOTES TO SCHEDULE III - REAL ESTATE AND ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION

(A) See the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

(B) Depreciation is calculated using estimated useful lives up to 40 years for all completed facilities.

(C) Two properties located in Overland Park, KS and Mission, KS are encumbered jointly on a $19,250,000 mortgage due to KeyBank as described more fully in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

(D) Subsequent to NHC's transfer of the original real estate properties in 1991, we have purchased from NHC $33,909,000 of additions to those properties. As the additions were purchased from NHC rather than developed by us, the $33,909,000 has been included as Initial Cost to Company.
