2. Accounting Policies and Related Matters

xbrl,body xbrl,dnap,"Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements Disclosure"

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 10, 2011.

/xbrl,dnap xbrl,dnap,"Schedule Of New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles"

New Accounting Standards

In April 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR). It intended to provide additional guidance to assist creditors in determining whether a restructuring of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and are to be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired. Early adoption is permitted. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of adoption of this ASU.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Statement of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), which requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 will only impact the companys financial presentation as the company currently presents items of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012.

3. Real Property Acquisition and Development

xbrl,body

Genesis Acquisition

On April 1, 2011, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the real estate assets (147 properties) of privately-owned Genesis HealthCare Corporation. The total purchase price of approximately $2,475,144,000 is comprised of the $2,400,000,000 cash consideration and the fair value of capital lease obligations totaling approximately $75,144,000 and has been allocated on a preliminary basis in the amounts of $144,091,000 to land and land improvements and $2,331,053,000 to buildings and improvements. We funded the cash consideration and other associated costs of the acquisition primarily through the proceeds of the offerings of common stock, preferred stock and senior unsecured notes completed in March 2011. Effective April 1, 2011, we began leasing the acquired facilities to Genesis pursuant to a master lease. In addition to rent, the triple net master lease requires Genesis to pay all operating costs, utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, building repairs, maintenance costs and all obligations under the ground leases. All obligations under the master lease have been guaranteed by FC-GEN Operations Investment, LLC, which was spun-off by Genesis prior to closing the acquisition. The initial term is fifteen years. Genesis has one option to renew for an additional term of fifteen years. The master lease provides that the base rent for the first year is $198,000,000 and will increase at least 1.75% but no more than 3.50% (subject to CPI changes) for each of the years two through six during the initial term and at least 1.50% but no more than 3.00% per year thereafter (subject to CPI changes). We expect to recognize rental income based on the minimum rent escalators during the initial term.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations have been prepared as if the Genesis acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2010 based on the preliminary purchase price allocations discussed above. Amounts are in thousands, except per share data:

Silverado Partnership

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we completed the formation of our partnership with Silverado Senior Living, Inc. to own and operate a portfolio of 18 combination senior housing and care communities located in California, Texas, Arizona and Utah. We own a 95.4% partnership interest and Silverado owns the remaining 4.6% interest and continues to manage the communities. The partnership owns and operates six communities previously owned by us and 12 additional communities previously owned by Silverado. The transaction took advantage of the structure authorized by the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (RIDEA). The results of operations for this partnership have been included in our consolidated results of operations beginning as of January 1, 2011 and are a component of our senior housing operating segment. Consolidation is based on a combination of ownership interest and operational decision-making control authority.

In conjunction with the formation of the partnership, we contributed $163,368,000 of cash and the six properties previously owned by us. Silverado contributed the remaining 12 properties to the partnership and the secured debt relating to these properties in exchange for its 4.6% interest in the partnership. The six properties are recorded at their historical carrying values and the noncontrolling interest was established based on such values. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received relating to these properties and the historical allocation of the 4.6% noncontrolling interest was recorded in capital in excess of par value. The total purchase price for the 12 communities acquired has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based upon their respective fair values in accordance with the companys accounting policies.

Benchmark Partnership

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we completed the formation of our partnership with Benchmark Senior Living to own and operate a portfolio of 34 senior housing communities located in New England. We own a 95% partnership interest and Benchmark owns the remaining 5% interest and continues to manage the communities. The 34 communities included in the partnership were previously owned by The GPT Group and Benchmark. The transaction took advantage of the structure authorized by RIDEA. The results of operations for this partnership have been included in our consolidated results of operations beginning as of March 28, 2011 and are a component of our senior housing operating segment. Consolidation is based on a combination of ownership interest and operational decision-making control authority.

In conjunction with the formation of the partnership, we contributed $380,278,000 of cash and the partnership assumed the secured debt relating to these properties. Benchmark contributed the 34 properties to the partnership and the secured debt relating to these properties in exchange for its 5% interest in the partnership. The total purchase price for the communities acquired has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based upon their respective fair values in accordance with the companys accounting policies. Such allocations have not been finalized as we await final asset valuations and, as such, the allocation of the purchase consideration included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2011 is preliminary and subject to adjustment.

7. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

xbrl,body

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we entered into a joint venture investment with Forest City Enterprises (NYSE:FCE.A and FCE.B). We acquired a 49% interest in a seven-building life science campus located in University Park in Cambridge, MA, which is immediately adjacent to the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Six buildings closed on February 22, 2010 and the seventh closed on June 30, 2010. The portfolio is 100% leased. In connection with these transactions, we invested $174,692,000 of cash which is recorded as an equity investment on the balance sheet. Our share of the non-recourse secured debt assumed by the joint venture was approximately $156,729,000 with weighted-average interest rates of 7.1%. The aggregate remaining unamortized basis difference of our investment in this joint venture of $11,304,000 at June 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to real estate and related intangible assets and will be amortized over the life of the related properties and included in the reported amount of income from unconsolidated joint ventures.

In December 2010, we entered into a strategic joint venture relationship with a national medical office building company. In connection with this transaction, we invested $21,321,000 of cash which is recorded as an equity investment on the balance sheet. Our share of the non-recourse secured debt assumed by the joint venture relationship was approximately $24,609,000 with weighted-average interest rates of 6.06%. During the first six months of 2011, we invested an additional $729,000 and assumed our share of non-recourse secured debt of approximately $3,668,000 with a weighted average interest rate of 4.5% for completion of construction in two medical office buildings. The aggregate remaining unamortized basis difference of our investment in this joint venture of $231,000 at June 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to real estate and related intangible assets and will be amortized over the life of the related properties and included in the reported amount of income from unconsolidated joint ventures.

9. Borrowings Under Line of Credit Arrangement and Related Items

xbrl,body

At June 30, 2011, we had an unsecured line of credit arrangement with a consortium of sixteen banks in the amount of $1,150,000,000. On January 24, 2011, we provided notice to KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, of our desire to extend the line of credit. Under the terms of the loan agreement, we had the right to extend the revolving line of credit for one year if we were in compliance with all covenants and paid an extension fee of $1,725,000. As a result of the extension, the line of credit was set to expire on August 6, 2012. Borrowings under the agreement were subject to interest payable in periods no longer than three months at either the agent banks prime rate of interest or the applicable margin over LIBOR interest rate, at our option (0.79% at June 30, 2011). The applicable margin was based on certain of our debt ratings and was 0.6% at June 30, 2011. In addition, we paid a facility fee annually to each bank based on the banks commitment amount. The facility fee depended on certain of our debt ratings and was 0.15% at June 30, 2011. We also paid an annual agents fee of $50,000. Principal was due upon expiration of the agreement. In July 2011, we expanded and extended the facility. See Note 18 for additional information.

11. Derivative Instruments

xbrl,body

We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. We may elect to use financial derivative instruments to hedge interest rate exposure. These decisions are principally based on our policy to manage the general trend in interest rates at the applicable dates and our perception of the future volatility of interest rates. Derivates are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities. The valuation of derivative instruments requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the fair value of the instruments. Fair values of our derivatives are estimated by pricing models that consider the forward yield curves and discount rates. Such amounts and the recognition of such amounts are subject to significant estimates that may change in the future.

The following is a summary of the fair value of our derivative instruments (dollars in thousands):

xbrl,dn,"Fair Value Of Derivative Instruments"

	Balance Sheet — Location	Fair Value — June 30, 2011	December 31, 2010
Cash flow hedge interest rate swaps	Other liabilities	$ 1,414	$ 482

/xbrl,dn

Cash Flow Hedges

For instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI), and reclassified into earnings in the same period, or periods, during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings. Approximately $1,983,000 of losses, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months.

On August 7, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap (the August 2009 Swap) for a total notional amount of $52,198,000 to hedge seven years of interest payments associated with long-term LIBOR based borrowings. This swap was terminated on September 30, 2010 for a cash payment of $6,645,000 which has been deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The effective portion is being amortized over the remaining term of the original swap as an adjustment to the yield on our LIBOR-based debt. The August 2009 Swap had an effective date of August 12, 2009 and a maturity date of September 1, 2016. The August 2009 Swap had the economic effect of fixing $52,198,000 at 3.93% plus a credit spread for seven years. The August 2009 Swap

had been designated as a cash flow hedge and we expected it to be highly effective at offsetting changes in cash flows of interest payments on $52,198,000 of long-term debt due to changes in the LIBOR swap rate.

On September 28, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap (the September 2009 Swap) for a total notional amount of $48,155,000 to hedge seven years of interest payments associated with long-term LIBOR based borrowings. This swap was terminated on September 30, 2010 for a cash payment of $4,365,000 which has been deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The effective portion is being amortized over the remaining term of the original swap as an adjustment to the yield on our LIBOR-based debt. The September 2009 Swap had an effective date of September 30, 2009 and a maturity date of October 1, 2016. The September 2009 Swap had the economic effect of fixing $48,155,000 at 3.2675% plus a credit spread for seven years. The September 2009 Swap had been designated as a cash flow hedge and we expected it to be highly effective at offsetting changes in cash flows of interest payments on $48,155,000 of long-term debt due to changes in the LIBOR swap rate.

On December 31, 2010, we assumed an interest rate swap (the December 2010 Swap) for a total notional amount of $12,650,000 to hedge interest payments associated with long-term LIBOR based borrowings. The December 2010 Swap has an effective date of December 31, 2010 and a maturity date of December 31, 2013. The December 2010 Swap has the economic effect of fixing $12,650,000 at 5.50% plus a credit spread through the swaps maturity. In January 2011, the December 2010 Swap was designated as a cash flow hedge and we expect it to be highly effective at offsetting changes in cash flows of interest payments on $12,650,000 of long-term debt due to changes in the LIBOR swap rate.

On April 15, 2011, we assumed three interest rate swaps (the April 2011 Swaps) for a total notional amount of $33,795,000 to hedge interest payments associated with long-term LIBOR based borrowings. One swap with an effective date of December 20, 2010 and a maturity date of September 1, 2013 has the economic effect of fixing $13,095,000 of debt at 3.05%. The other two swaps have an effective date of October 15, 2010 and a maturity date of December 31, 2012 and have the economic effect of fixing $20,700,000 of debt at 2.73%. In June 2011, the April swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and we expect them to be highly effective at offsetting changes in cash flows of interest payments on $33,795,000 of long-term debt due to changes in the LIBOR swap rate.

Fair Value Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. There were no outstanding fair value hedges at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

xbrl,body

We have two outstanding letters of credit issued for the benefit of certain insurance companies that provide workers compensation insurance to one of our operators. Our obligation to provide the letters of credit terminates in 2013. At June 30, 2011, our obligation under the letters of credit was $4,200,000.

We have an outstanding letter of credit issued for the benefit of certain insurance companies that provide liability and property insurance to one of our tenants. Our obligation to provide the letter of credit terminates in 2013. At June 30, 2011, our obligation under the letter of credit was $1,000,000.

We have an outstanding letter of credit issued for the benefit of a city in Wisconsin that secures the completion and installation of certain public improvements by one of our tenants in connection with the development of a property. Our obligation to provide the letter of credit terminates in October 2013. At June 30, 2011, our obligation under the letter of credit was $215,000.

We have an outstanding letter of credit issued for the benefit of a village in Illinois that secures the completion and installation of certain public improvements by one of our tenants in connection with the development of a property. Our obligation to provide the letter of credit terminates in August 2011. At June 30, 2011, our obligation under the letter of credit was $67,932.

At June 30, 2011, we had outstanding construction in process of $212,161,000 for leased properties and were committed to providing additional funds of approximately $219,306,000 to complete construction. At June 30, 2011, we had contingent purchase obligations totaling $80,151,000. These contingent purchase obligations relate to unfunded capital improvement obligations. Rents due from the tenant are increased to reflect the additional investment in the property.

We evaluate our leases for operating versus capital lease treatment in accordance with ASC Topic 840 Leases. A lease is classified as a capital lease if it provides for transfer of ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, contains a bargain purchase option, has a lease term greater than 75% of the economic life of the leased asset, or if the net present value of the future minimum lease payments are in excess of 90% of the fair value of the leased asset. Certain leases contain bargain purchase options and have been classified as capital leases. At June 30, 2011, we had operating lease obligations of $220,688,000 relating to certain ground leases and company office space. We incurred rental expense relating to company office space of $615,000 and $1,130,000 for

14. Stock Incentive Plans

xbrl,body

Our Amended and Restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan authorizes up to 6,200,000 shares of common stock to be issued at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The 2005 Plan replaced the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan and the Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The options granted to officers and key employees under the 1995 Plan continued to vest through 2010 and expire ten years from the date of grant. Our non-employee directors, officers and key employees are eligible to participate in the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan allows for the issuance of, among other things, stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock units and dividend equivalent rights. Vesting periods for options, deferred stock units and restricted shares generally range from

three years for non-employee directors to five years for officers and key employees. Options expire ten years from the date of grant.

Valuation Assumptions

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

xbrl,dn,"Weighted Average Estimated Fair Value And Assumptions Utilized By Company"

	Six Months Ended — June 30, 2011	June 30, 2010
Dividend yield	5.74 %	6.28 %
Expected volatility	34.80 %	34.08 %
Risk-free interest rate	2.87 %	3.23 %
Expected life (in years)	7.0	7.0
Weighted-average fair value	$ 9.60	$ 7.82

/xbrl,dn

The dividend yield represented the dividend yield of our common stock on the dates of grant. Our computation of expected volatility was based on historical volatility. The risk-free interest rates used were the 7-year U.S. Treasury Notes yield on the date of grant. The expected life was based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations regarding future employee behavior.

Option Award Activity

The following table summarizes information about stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

xbrl,dn,"Summary Of Stock Options Outstanding And Exercised Under Various Stock Options Plans"

	Number of — Shares	Average	Remaining		Aggregate — Intrinsic
Stock Options	(000's)	Exercise Price	Contract Life (years)		Value ($000's)

Options granted	289		49.17

Options exercisable at end of period	542	$	38.74	6.1	$ 7,421
Weighted average fair value of
options granted during the period		$	9.60

/xbrl,dn

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the quoted price of our common stock for the options that were in-the-money at June 30, 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under our stock incentive plans was $1,686,000 and $550,000, respectively (determined as of the date of option exercise). Cash received from option exercises under our stock incentive plans was $4,401,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $4,701,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under our stock incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of four years. As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $16,084,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock granted under our stock incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of three years.

Diluted earnings per share	$ 0.39	$ 0.37	$ 0.56	$ 0.58

The diluted earnings per share calculations exclude the dilutive effect of 287,000 and 381,000 stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because the exercise prices were more than the average market price. The Series H Cumulative Convertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series I Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock were not included in the 2011 calculation as the effect of conversions into common stock was anti-dilutive for that period.

16. Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

xbrl,body

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

Mortgage Loans and Other Real Estate Loans Receivable The fair value of mortgage loans and other real estate loans receivable is generally estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Available-for-sale Equity Investments Available-for-sale equity investments are recorded at their fair value based on publicly available trading prices.

Borrowings Under Unsecured Lines of Credit Arrangements The carrying amount of the unsecured line of credit arrangement approximates fair value because the borrowings are interest rate adjustable.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Senior Unsecured Notes The fair value of the senior unsecured notes payable was estimated based on publicly available trading prices.

Secured Debt The fair value of fixed rate secured debt is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The carrying amount of variable rate secured debt approximates fair value because the borrowings are interest rate adjustable.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements Interest rate swap agreements are recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair market value. Fair market value is estimated by utilizing pricing models that consider forward yield curves and discount rates.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):

U.S. GAAP provides authoritative guidance for measuring and disclosing fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. The guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Interest rate swap agreements are valued using models that assume a hypothetical transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the principal market for the asset or liability based on market data derived from interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment timing, loss severities, credit risks and default rates.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The market approach is utilized to measure fair value for our financial assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we also have assets and liabilities on our balance sheet that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As these assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, they are not included in the table above. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations (see Note 3), assets held for sale and asset impairments (see Note 5 for impairments of real property and Note 6 for allowances on loans receivable). We have determined that the fair value measurements included in each of these assets and liabilities rely primarily on company-specific inputs and our assumptions about the use of the assets and settlement of liabilities, as observable inputs are not available. As such, we have determined that each of these fair value measurements generally reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We estimate the fair value of real estate using unobservable data such as net operating income and estimated capitalization and discount rates. We also consider local and national industry market data including comparable sales, and commonly engage an external real estate appraiser to assist us in our estimation of fair value.

17. Segment Reporting

xbrl,body

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we changed the name of our senior housing and care segment to senior housing triple-net. Additionally, we added a new senior housing operating segment. There was no activity related to this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We invest in senior housing and health care real estate. We evaluate our business and make resource allocations on our three business segments: senior housing triple-net, senior housing operating and medical facilities. Our senior housing triple-net properties include skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, independent living/continuing care retirement communities and combinations thereof. Under the senior housing triple-net segment, we invest in senior housing and health care real estate through acquisition and financing of primarily single tenant properties. Properties acquired are primarily leased under triple-net leases and we are not involved in the management of the property. Our senior housing operating properties include assisted living facilities and independent living/continuing care retirement communities that are owned and/or operated through RIDEA partnership structures. Our primary medical facility properties include medical office buildings, hospitals and life science buildings. Our medical office buildings are typically leased to multiple tenants and generally require a certain level of property management. Our hospital investments are structured similar to our senior housing triple-net investments. Our life science investments represent investments in an unconsolidated joint venture (see Note 7 for additional information). The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010). There are no intersegment sales or transfers. We evaluate performance based upon net operating income of the combined properties in each segment. Non-segment revenue consists mainly of interest income on non-real estate investments and other income. Non-segment assets consist of corporate assets including cash, deferred loan expenses and corporate offices and equipment among others. Non-property specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual segments in determining net operating income.

Summary information for the reportable segments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands and includes amounts from discontinued operations):

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is based primarily on the consolidated financial statements of Health Care REIT, Inc. for the periods presented and should be read together with the notes thereto contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other important factors are identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 10, 2011, including factors identified under the headings Business, Risk Factors, and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Executive Summary

Company Overview

Health Care REIT, Inc. is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that has been at the forefront of senior housing and health care real estate since the company was founded in 1970. We are an S&P 500 company headquartered in Toledo, Ohio and our portfolio spans the full spectrum of senior housing and health care real estate, including senior housing communities, skilled nursing facilities, medical office buildings, inpatient and outpatient medical centers and life science facilities. Our capital programs, when combined with comprehensive planning, development and property management services, make us a single-source solution for acquiring, planning, developing, managing, repositioning and monetizing real estate assets. The following table summarizes our portfolio as of June 30, 2011:

Type of Property	Investments — (in thousands)	Percentage of — Investments	Number of — Properties	# Beds/Units — or Sq. Ft.		Investment per — metric (1)	States

Health Care Industry

The demand for health care services, and consequently health care properties, is projected to reach unprecedented levels in the near future. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) projects that national health expenditures will rise to $3.5 trillion in 2015 or 18.2% of gross domestic product (GDP). The average annual growth in national health expenditures for 2009 through 2019 is expected to be 6.3%, which is 0.2% faster than pre-health care reform estimates.

While demographics are the primary driver of demand, economic conditions and availability of services contribute to health care service utilization rates. We believe the health care property market may be less susceptible to fluctuations and economic downturns relative to other property sectors. Investor interest in the market remains strong, especially in specific sectors such as medical office buildings, regardless of the current stringent lending environment. As a REIT, we believe we are situated to benefit from any turbulence in the capital markets due to our access to capital.

The total U.S. population is projected to increase by 20.4% through 2030. The elderly population aged 65 and over is projected to increase by 79.2% through 2030. The elderly are an important component of health care utilization, especially independent living services, assisted living services, skilled nursing services, inpatient and outpatient hospital services and physician ambulatory care. Most health care services are provided within a health care facility such as a hospital, a physicians office or a senior housing facility. Therefore, we believe there will be continued demand for companies, such as ours, with expertise in health care real estate.

The following chart illustrates the projected increase in the elderly population aged 65 and over:

Health care real estate investment opportunities tend to increase as demand for health care services increases. We recognize the need for health care real estate as it correlates to health care service demand. Health care providers require real estate to house their businesses and expand their services. We believe that investment opportunities in health care real estate will continue to be present due to:

| | The specialized nature of the industry, which enhances the credibility and experience of
our company; |
| --- | --- |
| | The projected population growth combined with stable or increasing health care
utilization rates, which ensures demand; and |
| | The on-going merger and acquisition activity. |

Current Economic and Capital Market Outlook

In the commercial real estate market, property prices generally continue to fluctuate. Likewise, the U.S. credit markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which sometimes impact access to and cost of capital. In spite of these challenges, we successfully raised over $3 billion of debt and equity capital during the first quarter of 2011 in order to fund our attractive investment opportunities. We believe our success in sourcing capital is due to our strategic deal sourcing and the significant growth underlying the health care real estate sector in general.

We will continue to be selective as further income-enhancing acquisition opportunities are pursued. Investment opportunities must adhere to our strict underwriting and risk allocation criteria. In addition, we will continue to monitor the commercial real estate and U.S. credit markets carefully and, if required, will make decisions to adjust our business strategy accordingly. See our discussion of Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Business Strategy

Our primary objectives are to protect stockholder capital and enhance stockholder value. We seek to pay consistent cash dividends to stockholders and create opportunities to increase dividend payments to stockholders as a result of annual increases in rental and interest income and portfolio growth. To meet these objectives, we invest across the full spectrum of senior housing and health care real estate and diversify our investment portfolio by property type, customer and geographic location.

Substantially all of our revenues and sources of cash flows from operations are derived from operating lease rentals, resident fees and services, and interest earned on outstanding loans receivable. These items represent our primary source of liquidity to fund distributions and are dependent upon our obligors continued ability to make contractual rent and interest payments to us. To the extent that our obligors experience operating difficulties and are unable to generate sufficient cash to make payments to us, there could be a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, we monitor our investments through a variety of methods determined by the type of property and operator/tenant. Our asset management process includes review of monthly financial statements for each property, periodic review of obligor credit, periodic property inspections and review of covenant compliance relating to licensure, real estate taxes, letters of credit and other collateral. In monitoring our portfolio, our personnel use a proprietary database to collect and analyze property-specific data. Additionally, we conduct extensive research to ascertain industry trends and risks. Through these asset management and research efforts, we are typically able to intervene at an early stage to address payment risk, and in so doing, support both the collectability of revenue and the value of our investment.

In addition to our asset management and research efforts, we also structure our investments to help mitigate payment risk.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Operating leases and loans are normally credit enhanced by guaranties and/or letters of credit. In addition, operating leases are typically structured as master leases and loans are generally cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with other loans, operating leases or agreements between us and the obligor and its affiliates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, rental income, resident fees and services and interest income represented 65%, 31% and 4%, respectively, of total gross revenues (including revenues from discontinued operations). Substantially all of our operating leases are designed with either fixed or contingent escalating rent structures. Leases with fixed annual rental escalators are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease period, subject to a collectability assessment. Rental income related to leases with contingent rental escalators is generally recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due for the period. Our yield on loans receivable depends upon a number of factors, including the stated interest rate, the average principal amount outstanding during the term of the loan and any interest rate adjustments.

Depending upon the availability and cost of external capital, we believe our liquidity is sufficient to fund operations, meet debt service obligations (both principal and interest), make dividend distributions and complete construction projects in process. We also anticipate evaluating opportunities to finance future investments. New investments are generally funded from temporary borrowings under our unsecured line of credit arrangement, internally generated cash and the proceeds from sales of real property. Our investments generate internal cash from rent and interest receipts and principal payments on loans receivable. Permanent financing for future investments, which replaces funds drawn under the unsecured line of credit arrangement, has historically been provided through a combination of public and private offerings of debt and equity securities and the incurrence or assumption of secured debt.

Our primary sources of cash include rent and interest receipts, resident fees and services, borrowings under the unsecured line of credit arrangement, public and private offerings of debt and equity securities, proceeds from the sales of real property and principal payments on loans receivable. Our primary uses of cash include dividend distributions, debt service payments (including principal and interest), real property investments (including capital expenditures and construction advances), loan advances, property operating expenses and general and administrative expenses. Depending upon market conditions, we believe that new investments will be available in the future with spreads over our cost of capital that will generate appropriate returns to our stockholders. We anticipate the sale of real property and the repayment of loans receivable totaling approximately $300,000,000 during 2011. It is possible that additional loan repayments or sales of real property may occur in the future. To the extent that loan repayments and real property sales exceed new investments, our revenues and cash flows from operations could be adversely affected. We expect to reinvest the proceeds from any loan repayments and real property sales in new investments. To the extent that new investment requirements exceed our available cash on-hand, we expect to borrow under our unsecured line of credit arrangement. At June 30, 2011, we had $328,758,000 of cash and cash equivalents, $42,497,000 of restricted cash and $1,150,000,000 of available borrowing capacity under our unsecured line of credit arrangement.

Key Transactions in 2011

We have completed the following key transactions to date in 2011:

| | our Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend to $0.715 per common share,
as compared to $0.69 per common share for 2010, beginning in May 2011. The dividend
declared for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 represents the 161 st consecutive
quarterly dividend payment; |
| --- | --- |
| | we raised $3,534,688,000 of equity and unsecured debt capital in March 2011; |
| | we completed $4,177,716,000 of gross investments and had $282,230,000 of investment
payoffs during the six months ended June 30, 2011; and |
| | we extended our unsecured line of credit arrangement to July 2015 and expanded it to
$2,000,000,000 in July 2011. |

Key Performance Indicators, Trends and Uncertainties

We utilize several key performance indicators to evaluate the various aspects of our business. These indicators are discussed below and relate to operating performance, concentration risk and credit strength. Management uses these key performance indicators to facilitate internal and external comparisons to our historical operating results, in making operating decisions and for budget planning purposes.

Operating Performance . We believe that net income attributable to common stockholders (NICS) is the most appropriate earnings measure. Other useful supplemental measures of our operating performance include funds from operations (FFO) and net operating income (NOI); however, these supplemental measures are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). Please refer to the section entitled Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further discussion and reconciliations of FFO and NOI. These earnings measures and their relative per share amounts are widely used by investors and analysts in the valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies. The following table reflects the recent historical trends of our operating performance measures for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

Concentration Risk . We evaluate our concentration risk in terms of asset mix, investment mix, relationship mix and geographic mix. Concentration risk is a valuable measure in understanding what portion of our investments could be at risk if certain sectors were to experience downturns. Asset mix measures the portion of our investments that are real property. In order to qualify as an equity REIT, at least 75% of our real estate investments must be real property whereby each property, which includes the land, buildings, improvements, intangibles and related rights, is owned by us. Investment mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our various segment types. Relationship mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our top five relationships. Geographic mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our top five states. The following table reflects our recent historical trends of concentration risk for the periods presented:

Credit Strength. We measure our credit strength both in terms of leverage ratios and coverage ratios. Our leverage ratios include debt to book capitalization and debt to market capitalization. The leverage ratios indicate how much of our balance sheet capitalization is related to long-term debt. The coverage ratios indicate our ability to service interest and fixed charges (interest, secured debt principal amortization and preferred dividends). We expect to maintain capitalization ratios and coverage ratios sufficient to maintain compliance with our debt covenants. The coverage ratios are based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), which is discussed in further detail, and reconciled to net income, below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Leverage ratios and coverage ratios are widely used by investors, analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, investment recommendations and rating of companies.

We evaluate our key performance indicators in conjunction with current expectations to determine if historical trends are indicative of future results. Our expected results may not be achieved and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. Factors that may cause actual results to differ from expected results are described in more detail in Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors and other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management regularly monitors economic and other factors to develop strategic and tactical plans designed to improve performance and maximize our competitive position. Our ability to achieve our financial objectives is dependent upon our ability to effectively execute these plans and to appropriately respond to emerging economic and company-specific trends.

discussed below in Results of Operations. The following is a summary of our straight-line rent and above/below market lease amortization (dollars in thousands):

Gross straight-line rental income	$ 16,018	$	8,598	$	7,420		86 %

	$ 10,360	$	5,826	$	4,534		78 %

Gross straight-line rental income represents the non-cash difference between contractual cash rent due and the average rent recognized pursuant to U.S. GAAP for leases with fixed rental escalators, net of collectability reserves. This amount is positive in the first half of a lease term (but declining every year due to annual increases in cash rent due) and is negative in the second half of a lease term. The fluctuation in cash receipts due to real property sales is attributable to the lack of straight-line rent receivable balances on properties sold during the current year. The fluctuation in prepaid rent receipts is primarily due to changes in prepaid rent received at certain construction projects.

Investing Activities . The changes in net cash used in investing activities are primarily attributable to net changes in real property and real estate loans receivable. The following is a summary of our investment and disposition activities (dollars in thousands):

Capitalization rates for acquisitions represent annualized contractual income to be received in cash at date of investment divided by investment amounts. Capitalization rates for dispositions represent annualized contractual income that was being received in cash at date of disposition divided by cash proceeds. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, weighted-average capitalization rates for acquisitions and dispositions were as follows:

Senior Housing Triple-net	8.2 %	10.6 %
Senior Housing Operating	7.1 %	n/a
Medical Facilities	7.6 %	7.1 %

Financing Activities . The changes in net cash provided from or used in financing activities are primarily attributable to changes related to our long-term debt arrangements, proceeds from the issuance of common stock and dividend payments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we had a net decrease of $300,000,000 on our unsecured line of credit arrangement as compared to a net increase of $66,000,000 for the same period in 2010. The change in our senior unsecured notes is due to (i) the issuance of $400,000,000 of 3.625% senior unsecured notes due 2016, $600,000,000 of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2022 and $400,000,000 of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2041 in March 2011; (ii) the issuance of $494,403,000 of convertible senior unsecured notes in March and June 2010; (iii) the repurchase of $441,326,000 of convertible senior unsecured notes in March and June 2010; and (iv) the issuance of $450,000,000 of senior unsecured notes in April and June 2010.

We may repurchase, redeem or refinance convertible and non-convertible senior unsecured notes from time to time, taking advantage of favorable market conditions when available. We may purchase senior notes for cash through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, a tender offer or, in some cases, through the early redemption of such securities pursuant to their terms. The non-convertible senior unsecured notes are redeemable at our option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (1) the principal amount of the notes (or portion of such notes) being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to the redemption date and (2) any make-whole amount due under the terms of the notes in connection with early redemptions. We cannot redeem the March and June 2010 convertible senior unsecured notes prior to December 1, 2014 unless such redemption is necessary to preserve our status as a REIT. However, on or after December 1, 2014, we may from time to time at our option redeem those notes, in whole or in part, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes we redeem, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Redemptions and repurchases of debt, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income (including 100% of capital gains) to our stockholders. The increase in dividends is primarily attributable to an increase in our common shares outstanding. The following is a summary of our dividend payments (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we entered into a joint venture investment with Forest City Enterprises (NYSE:FCE.A and FCE.B). In connection with this transaction, we invested $174,692,000 of cash which is recorded as an equity investment on the balance sheet. Our share of the non-recourse secured debt assumed by the joint venture was approximately $156,729,000 with weighted-average interest rates of 7.1%. Also during the year ended December 31, 2010, we entered into a joint venture investment with a national medical office building company. In connection with this transaction, we invested $21,321,000 of cash which is recorded as an equity investment on our balance sheet. Our share of non-recourse debt was approximately $24,609,000 with weighted average interest rates of 6.06%. Please see Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. We may or may not elect to use financial derivative instruments to hedge interest rate exposure. These decisions are principally based on the general trend in interest rates at the applicable dates, our perception of the future volatility of interest rates and our relative levels of variable rate debt and variable rate investments. Please see Note 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

At June 30, 2011, we had five outstanding letter of credit obligations totaling $5,482,932 and expiring between 2011 and 2013. Please see Note 12 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

(1) Amounts represent principal amounts due and do not reflect unamortized premiums/discounts or other fair value adjustments as reflected on the balance sheet.

At June 30, 2011, we had an unsecured line of credit arrangement with a consortium of sixteen banks in the amount of $1.15 billion, which is scheduled to expire on August 6, 2012. Borrowings under the agreement are subject to interest payable in periods no longer than three months at either the agent banks prime rate of interest or the applicable margin over LIBOR interest rate, at our option (0.79% at June 30, 2011). The applicable margin is based on certain of our debt ratings and was 0.6% at June 30, 2011. In addition, we pay a facility fee annually to each bank based on the banks commitment amount. The facility fee depends on certain of our debt ratings and was 0.15% at June 30, 2011. We also pay an annual agents fee of $50,000. Principal is due upon expiration of the agreement. In July 2011, we expanded and extended the facility. See Note 18 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

We have $4,464,930,000 of senior unsecured notes principal outstanding with fixed annual interest rates ranging from 3.00% to 8.00%, payable semi-annually. Total contractual interest obligations on senior unsecured notes totaled $2,510,327,940 at June 30, 2011. A total of $788,077,000 of our senior unsecured notes are convertible notes that also contain put features. Please see Note 10 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

We have consolidated secured debt with total outstanding principal of $1,869,129,000, collateralized by owned properties, with fixed annual interest rates ranging from 4.60% to 10.00%, payable monthly. The carrying values of the properties securing the debt totaled $3,215,570,000 at June 30, 2011. Total contractual interest obligations on consolidated secured debt totaled $665,118,000 at June 30, 2011. Additionally, our share of non-recourse debt associated with unconsolidated joint ventures (as reflected in the contractual obligations table above) is $192,518,000 at June 30, 2011. Our share of contractual interest obligations on our unconsolidated joint venture secured debt is $45,752,000 at June 30, 2011.

At June 30, 2011, we had operating lease obligations of $220,688,000 relating primarily to ground leases at certain of our properties and office space leases. One lease related to a senior housing triple-net facility contains a bargain purchase option and has been classified as a capital lease.

Purchase obligations include unfunded construction commitments and contingent purchase obligations. At June 30, 2011, we had outstanding construction financings of $212,161,000 for leased properties and were committed to providing additional financing of approximately $219,306,000 to complete construction. At June 30, 2011, we had contingent purchase obligations totaling $80,151,000. These contingent purchase obligations relate to unfunded capital improvement obligations. Upon funding, amounts due from the tenant are increased to reflect the additional investment in the property.

Other long-term liabilities relate to our Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) and a non-compete agreement. We have a SERP, a non-qualified defined benefit pension plan, which provides certain executive officers with supplemental deferred retirement benefits. The SERP provides an opportunity for participants to receive retirement benefits that cannot be paid under our tax-qualified plans because of the restrictions imposed by ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Benefits are based on compensation and length of service and the SERP is unfunded. We expect to contribute $1,500,000 to the SERP during the 2011 fiscal year. Benefit payments are expected to total $2,367,000 during the next five fiscal years and $2,410,000 thereafter. We use a December 31 measurement date for the SERP. The accrued liability on our balance sheet for the SERP was $4,395,000 and $4,066,000 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

In connection with the Windrose merger, we entered into a consulting agreement with Frederick L. Farrar, which expired in

Folio 33 /Folio

Table of Contents

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

December 2008. We entered into a new consulting agreement with Mr. Farrar in December 2008, which expired in December 2009. Mr. Farrar agreed not to compete with us for a period of two years following the expiration of the agreement. In exchange for complying with the covenant not to compete, Mr. Farrar receives eight quarterly payments of $37,500, with the first payment to be made on the date of expiration of the agreement. The first payment to Mr. Farrar was made in January 2010 and the final payment will be made in September 2011.

Capital Structure

As of June 30, 2011, we had total equity of $6,733,042,000 and a total debt balance of $6,319,865,000, which represents a debt to total book capitalization ratio of 49%. Our ratio of debt to market capitalization was 38% at June 30, 2011. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our interest coverage ratio was 3.34x and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.60x. Also, at June 30, 2011, we had $328,758,000 of cash and cash equivalents, $42,497,000 of restricted cash and $1,150,000,000 of available borrowing capacity under our unsecured line of credit arrangement.

Our debt agreements contain various covenants, restrictions and events of default. Certain agreements require us to maintain certain financial ratios and minimum net worth and impose certain limits on our ability to incur indebtedness, create liens and make investments or acquisitions. As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt agreements. Please refer to the section entitled Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further discussion. None of our debt agreements contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our debt ratings. However, under our unsecured line of credit arrangement, the ratings on our senior unsecured notes are used to determine the fees and interest charged.

We plan to manage the company to maintain compliance with our debt covenants and with a capital structure consistent with our current profile. Any downgrades in terms of ratings or outlook by any or all of the rating agencies could have a material adverse impact on our cost and availability of capital, which could in turn have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition.

On May 7, 2009, we filed an open-ended automatic or universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering an indeterminate amount of future offerings of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants and units. As of July 31, 2011, we had an effective registration statement on file in connection with our enhanced dividend reinvestment plan under which we may issue up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock. As of July 31, 2011, 7,209,857 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under this registration statement. We have entered into separate Equity Distribution Agreements with UBS Securities LLC, RBS Securities Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc. relating to the offer and sale from time to time of up to $250,000,000 aggregate amount of our common stock (Equity Shelf Program). As of July 31, 2011, we had $119,985,000 of remaining capacity under the Equity Shelf Program. Depending upon market conditions, we anticipate issuing securities under our registration statements to invest in additional properties and to repay borrowings under our unsecured line of credit arrangement.

The increase in rental income is primarily attributable to acquisitions and the conversion of newly constructed senior housing triple-net properties subsequent to June 30, 2010 from which we receive rent. Certain of our leases contain annual rental escalators that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index and/or changes in the gross operating revenues of the tenants properties. These escalators are not fixed, so no straight-line rent is recorded; however, rental income is recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due for the period. If gross operating revenues at our facilities and/or the Consumer Price Index do not increase, a portion of our revenues may not continue to increase. Sales of real property would offset revenue increases and, to the extent that they exceed new acquisitions, could result in decreased revenues. Our leases could renew above or below current rent rates, resulting in an increase or decrease in rental income. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we had no lease renewals but we had 18 leases with rental rate increasers ranging from 0.15% to 0.31% in our senior housing triple-net portfolio.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 represents $5,703,000 and $9,693,000, respectively, of secured debt interest expense offset by interest allocated to discontinued operations. The change in secured debt interest expense is due to the net effect and timing of assumptions, extinguishments and principal amortizations. The following is a summary of our senior housing triple-net property secured debt principal activity (dollars in thousands):

Depreciation and amortization increased primarily as a result of the conversions of newly constructed investment properties subsequent to June 30, 2010. To the extent that we acquire or dispose of additional properties in the future, our provision for depreciation and amortization will change accordingly.

Transaction costs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were incurred in connection with the Genesis transaction and other acquisitions.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we sold 34 senior housing triple-net properties for net gains of $54,342,000. Additionally, at June 30, 2011 we had three senior housing triple-net facilities that satisfied the requirements for held for sale treatment. We recorded an impairment charge of $202,000 related to two of these facilities to adjust the carrying values to estimated fair values less costs to sell based on current sales price expectations. The following illustrates the reclassification impact as a result of classifying the properties sold subsequent to January 1, 2010 or held for sale at June 30, 2011 as discontinued operations for the periods presented.

Senior Housing Operating

As discussed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, we completed two senior housing operating partnerships during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The results of operations for these partnerships have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the dates of acquisition. The senior housing operating partnerships were formed using the structure authorized by the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (RIDEA). When considering new partnerships utilizing the RIDEA structure, we look for opportunities with best-in-class operators with a strong seasoned leadership team, high-quality real estate in attractive markets, growth potential above the rent escalators in our triple-net lease senior housing portfolio, and alignment of economic interests with our operating partner. Our senior housing operating partnerships offer us the opportunity for external growth because we have the right to fund future senior housing investment opportunities sourced by our operating partners. There were no senior housing operating segment investments prior to September 1, 2010. The following is a summary of our senior housing operating results of operations (dollars in thousands):

The increase in rental income is primarily attributable to the acquisitions and construction conversions of medical facilities subsequent to June 30, 2010 from which we receive rent. Certain of our leases contain annual rental escalators that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). These escalators are not fixed, so no straight-line rent is recorded; however, rental income is recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due for the period. If the CPI does not increase, a portion of our revenues may not continue to increase. Sales of real property would offset revenue increases and, to the extent that they exceed new acquisitions, could result in decreased revenues. Our leases could renew above or below current rent rates, resulting in an increase or decrease in rental income. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our consolidated medical office building portfolio signed 65,429 square feet of new leases and 113,869 square feet of renewals. The weighted average term of these leases was six years, with a rate of $23.00 per square foot and tenant improvement and lease commission costs of $14.20 per square foot. Substantially all of these leases during the referenced quarter contain an annual fixed or contingent escalation rent structure ranging from the change in CPI to 3%. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we had no lease renewals and one leases rental rate increase by 0.25% in our hospital portfolio.

Interest income increased from the prior period primarily due to an increase in outstanding balances for medical facility real estate

loans. Other income is attributable to third party management fee income.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 represents $14,967,000 and $12,053,000, respectively, of secured debt interest expense offset by interest allocated to discontinued operations. The change in secured debt interest expense is primarily due to the net effect and timing of assumptions, extinguishments and principal amortizations. The following is a summary of our medical facilities secured debt principal activity (dollars in thousands):

The increase in property operating expenses and depreciation and amortization is primarily attributable to acquisitions and construction conversions of new medical facilities for which we incur certain property operating expenses offset by property operating expenses associated with discontinued operations.

Income tax expense is primarily related to third party management fee income.

Income from unconsolidated joint ventures represents our share of net income related to our joint venture investments with Forest City Enterprises (effective February 2010) and a strategic medical office partnership (effective January 2011).

The change in interest expense on the unsecured line of credit arrangement is due primarily to the net effect and timing of draws, paydowns and variable interest rate changes. The following is a summary of our unsecured line of credit arrangement (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30, — 2011	2010	Six Months Ended June 30, — 2011	2010

Weighted average interest rate (actual interest
expense divided by average borrowings
outstanding)	n/a	1.63 %	2.17 %	1.55 %

We capitalize certain interest costs associated with funds used to finance the construction of properties owned directly by us. The amount capitalized is based upon the balances outstanding during the construction period using the rate of interest that approximates our cost of financing. Our interest expense is reduced by the amount capitalized.

Please see Note 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our interest rate swap agreements and their impact on interest expense. Loan expense represents the amortization of deferred loan costs incurred in connection with the issuance and amendments of debt.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenues (including revenues from discontinued operations) for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were 5.07% and 7.25%, respectively. The change from prior year is primarily related to the increasing revenue base as a result of our senior housing operating partnerships.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, we consider FFO to be a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time as evidenced by the provision for depreciation. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. In response, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation from net income. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, means net income, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Net operating income (NOI) is used to evaluate the operating performance of our properties. We define NOI as total revenues, including tenant reimbursements, less property level operating expenses, which exclude depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, impairments and interest expense. We believe NOI provides investors relevant and useful information because it measures the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our properties.

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA, along with net income and cash flow provided from operating activities, is an important supplemental measure because it provides additional information to assess and evaluate the performance of our operations. We primarily utilize EBITDA to measure our interest coverage ratio, which represents EBITDA divided by total interest, and our fixed charge coverage ratio, which represents EBITDA divided by fixed charges. Fixed charges include total interest, secured debt principal amortization and preferred dividends.

A covenant in our line of credit arrangement contains a financial ratio based on a definition of EBITDA that is specific to that agreement. Failure to satisfy this covenant could result in an event of default that could have a material adverse impact on our cost and availability of capital, which could in turn have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition. Due to the materiality of this debt agreement and the financial covenant, we have disclosed Adjusted EBITDA, which represents EBITDA as defined above and adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, provision for loan losses and gain/loss on extinguishment of debt. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our adjusted fixed charge coverage ratio, which represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by fixed charges on a trailing twelve months basis. Fixed charges include total interest (excluding capitalized interest and non-cash interest expenses), secured debt principal amortization and preferred dividends. Effective July 27, 2011, our covenant requires an adjusted fixed charge ratio of at least 1.50 times.

Other than Adjusted EBITDA, our supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to our historical operating results and in making operating decisions. Additionally, these measures are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management. Adjusted EBITDA is used solely to determine our compliance with a financial covenant of our line of credit arrangement and is not being presented for use by investors for any other purpose. None of our supplemental measures represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity. Finally, the supplemental measures, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts or other companies. Multi-period amounts may not equal the sum of the individual quarterly amounts due to rounding.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions. Management considers an accounting estimate or assumption critical if:

| | the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity
and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of
such matters to change; and |
| --- | --- |
| | the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating
performance is material. |

Management has discussed the development and selection of its critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Management believes the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements are appropriate and are not reasonably likely to change in the future. However, since these estimates require assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, they bear the risk of change. If actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition. Please refer to Note 1 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 10, 2011, for further information regarding significant accounting policies that impact us. There have been no material changes to these policies in 2011.

Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements concern and are based upon, among other things, the possible expansion of the companys portfolio; the sale of properties; the performance of its operators/tenants and properties; its ability to enter into agreements with viable new tenants for vacant space or for properties that the company takes back from financially troubled tenants, if any; its occupancy rates; its ability to acquire, develop and/or manage properties; its ability to make distributions to stockholders; its policies and plans regarding investments, financings and other matters; its tax status as a real estate investment trust; its critical accounting policies; its ability to appropriately balance the use of debt and equity; its ability to access capital markets or other sources of funds; and its ability to meet its earnings guidance. When the company uses words such as may, will, intend, should, believe, expect, anticipate, project, estimate or similar expressions, it is making forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. The companys expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from expectations. This may be a result of various factors, including, but not limited to: the status of the economy; the status of capital markets, including availability and cost of capital; issues facing the health care industry, including compliance with, and changes to, regulations and payment policies, responding to government investigations and punitive settlements and operators/tenants difficulty in cost-effectively obtaining and maintaining adequate liability and other insurance; changes in financing terms; competition within the health care, senior housing and life science industries; negative developments in the operating results or financial condition of operators/tenants, including, but not limited to, their ability to pay rent and repay loans; the companys ability to transition or sell facilities with profitable results; the failure to make new investments as and when anticipated; acts of God affecting the companys properties; the companys ability to re-lease space at similar rates as vacancies occur; the companys ability to timely reinvest sale proceeds at similar rates to assets sold; operator/tenant or joint venture partner bankruptcies or insolvencies; the cooperation of joint venture partners; government regulations affecting Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates and operational requirements; regulatory approval and market acceptance of the products and technologies of life science tenants; liability or contract claims by or against operators/tenants; unanticipated difficulties and/or expenditures relating to future acquisitions; environmental laws affecting the companys properties; changes in rules or practices governing the companys financial reporting; and legal and operational matters, including real estate investment trust qualification and key management personnel recruitment and retention. Other important factors are identified in the companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 10, 2011, including factors identified under the headings Business, Risk Factors and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Finally, the company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements.

We seek to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the terms of new investments with new long-term fixed rate borrowings to the extent possible. We may or may not elect to use financial derivative instruments to hedge interest rate exposure. These decisions are principally based on our policy to match our variable rate investments with comparable borrowings, but are also based on the general trend in interest rates at the applicable dates and our perception of the future volatility of interest rates. This section is presented to provide a discussion of the risks associated with potential fluctuations in interest rates.

We historically borrow on our unsecured line of credit arrangement to acquire, construct or make loans relating to health care and senior housing properties. Then, as market conditions dictate, we will issue equity or long-term fixed rate debt to repay the borrowings under the unsecured line of credit arrangement.

A change in interest rates will not affect the interest expense associated with our fixed rate debt. Interest rate changes, however, will affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Changes in the interest rate environment upon maturity of this fixed rate debt could have an effect on our future cash flows and earnings, depending on whether the debt is replaced with other fixed rate debt, variable rate debt or equity or repaid by the sale of assets. To illustrate the impact of changes in the interest rate markets, we performed a sensitivity analysis on our fixed rate debt instruments whereby we modeled the change in net present values arising from a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates to determine the instruments change in fair value. The following table summarizes the analysis performed as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

	June 30, 2011 — Principal	Change in		December 31, 2010 — Principal	Change in
	balance	fair value		balance	fair value
Senior unsecured notes	$ 4,464,930	$ (201,682	)	$ 3,064,930	$ (248,884	)
Secured debt	1,653,397	(78,240	)	1,030,070	(51,973	)
Totals	$ 6,188,327	$ (279,923	)	$ 4,095,000	$ (300,857	)

Our variable rate debt, including our unsecured line of credit arrangement, is reflected at fair value. At June 30, 2011, we had $0 outstanding related to our variable rate line of credit and $215,894,000 outstanding related to our variable rate secured debt. Assuming no changes in outstanding balances, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in increased annual interest expense of $2,159,000. At December 31, 2010, we had $300,000,000 outstanding related to our variable rate line of credit and $103,645,000 outstanding related to our variable rate secured debt. Assuming no changes in outstanding balances, a 1% increase in interest rates would have resulted in increased annual interest expense of $4,036,000.

We are subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of current indebtedness. The majority of our borrowings were completed under indentures or contractual agreements that limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, in the event that we are unable to raise additional equity or borrow money because of these limitations, our ability to acquire additional properties may be limited.

For additional information regarding fair values of financial instruments, see Item 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies and Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements.
