2008, as follows: Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008: Net
income was $21.7 million, or $0.22 per share, for the quarter ended
June 30, 2008, compared to net income of $20.6 million, or $0.25
per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Net income for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008 includes an impairment of assets charge
of $2.9 million, or $0.03 per share, related to one property that
we intend to sell in 2008. Funds from operations (FFO) for the

This compares to FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 of $34.0
million, or $0.41 per share. The weighted average number of common
shares outstanding totaled 100.3 million and 83.6 million for the
quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. A
reconciliation of net income determined according to U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, to FFO is set forth below.
Results for the six months ended June 30, 2008: Net income for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 was $45.0 million, or $0.47 per
share, compared to net income of $38.2 million, or $0.46 per share,
for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net income for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 includes an impairment of assets charge
of $2.9 million, or $0.03 per share, related to one property that
we intend to sell in 2008. Net income for the six months ended June
30, 2007 includes a loss of $2.0 million, or $0.02 per share,
related to the early retirement of $20.0 million of SNH�s 8 5/8%
senior notes due 2012. FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2008,
was $79.5 million, or $0.83 per share. This compares to FFO for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 of $65.0 million, or $0.79 per
share. FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2007 includes a loss
of $1.8 million, or $0.02 per share, related to the early
retirement of the senior notes due 2012 described above. The
weighted average number of common shares outstanding totaled 95.7
million and 82.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively. A reconciliation of FFO to net income
determined according to U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles, or GAAP, is set forth below. Investing Activities and
Subsequent Events: In May 2008, we entered into a series of
agreements to acquire 48 medical office, clinic and biotech
laboratory buildings for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $565.0 million. We expect the closings of these
acquisitions to occur over the next three quarters. During June
2008, we acquired five of these medical office, clinic and biotech
laboratory buildings for approximately $83.8 million, excluding
closing costs. On July 9, we acquired three additional medical
office and clinic properties for approximately $39.1 million,
excluding closing costs. We funded these acquisitions using cash on
hand and assumed three mortgage loans on two properties totaling
$10.8 million. On June 30, 2008, we realigned our three leases with
Five Star Quality Care, Inc., or Five Star. Lease no. 1 now
includes 100 properties, including nine properties acquired during
the first quarter of 2008. This lease includes independent living
communities, assisted living communities and skilled nursing
facilities, and expires in 2022. Lease no. 2 now includes 32
properties, including independent living communities, assisted
living communities, skilled nursing facilities and two
rehabilitation hospitals, and expires in 2026. Lease no. 3 now
includes 33 properties, including 10 properties acquired during the
first quarter of 2008; this lease includes independent living
communities, assisted living communities and skilled nursing
facilities, and expires in 2024. The rent payable by Five Star to
us is unchanged as a result of this lease realignment and the
increased rent payable, if and as we purchase improvements to the
leased properties, will be the greater of 8.0% per annum or the 10
year Treasury rate plus 300 basis points. On July 1, 2008, we sold
three assisted living properties with 259 living units that were
formerly operated by NewSeasons Assisted Living Communities, Inc.,
or NewSeasons, to Five Star for $21.4 million and Five Star assumed
the NewSeasons and Independence Blue Cross lease obligations to SNH
for the remaining seven properties that were formerly operated by
NewSeasons. The rent payable by Five Star for these seven
properties is approximately $7.6 million per annum under a separate
lease between us and Five Star which we call our Five Star lease
no. 4. On August 1, 2008, we acquired, from an unaffiliated party,
two senior living properties with a total of 112 units for
approximately $14.1 million, excluding closing costs. The
properties have been leased to Five Star until 2024 under our Five
Star lease no. 3 described above and rent under that lease was
increased by $1.1 million. Percentage rent, based on increases in
gross revenues at these properties, will commence in 2010. We
funded this acquisition using cash on hand. In June 2008, we agreed
to purchase, from an unaffiliated party, eight senior living
properties with a total of 451 units for approximately $62.7
million. This acquisition has not closed as of the date of this
press release. We intend to lease these properties to Five Star and
to add them to lease no. 3 with Five Star, as described above, for
a term expiring in 2024, and we expect the annual rent under this
lease will increase by approximately $5.0 million. We expect
percentage rent, based on increases in gross revenues at these
properties, will commence in 2010. We expect to fund this
acquisition using cash on hand and by assuming 15 mortgages on
these eight properties for a total of $50.5 million at a weighted
average interest rate of 6.54% per annum maturing in 2017. The
purchase of these properties is contingent upon our and Five Star�s
completion of diligence, other customary closing conditions and the
approval of mortgage lenders. We can provide no assurance that we
will purchase or lease these properties. Conference Call: On

� (1) We compute FFO as shown in the calculation above. This
calculation begins with income from continuing operations or, if
that amount is the same as net income, with net income, which we
believe is the closest U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles, or GAAP, measure of our performance. Our calculation of
FFO differs from the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts, or NAREIT, definition of FFO because we include deferred
percentage rent in FFO as discussed in Note (3) below, and we
exclude loss on early extinguishment of debt not settled in cash
from FFO. We consider FFO to be an appropriate measure of
performance for a real estate investment trust, or REIT, along with
net income and cash flow from operating, investing and financing
activities. We believe that FFO provides useful information to
investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical
costs, such as depreciation expense and gain or loss on sale of
properties, FFO can facilitate a comparison of our current
operating performance with our past operating performance and of
operating performances among REITs. FFO does not represent cash
generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and
should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flow
from operating activities as a measure of financial performance or
liquidity. FFO is one important factor considered by our board of
trustees in determining the amount of our distributions to
shareholders. Other important factors include, but are not limited
to, requirements to maintain our status as a REIT, limitations in
our revolving credit facility and public debt covenants, the
availability of debt and equity capital to us and our expectation
of our future performance. (2) During the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008, we recognized an impairment of assets charge
of $2.9 million related to one property that we intend to sell in
2008. (3) Our percentage rents are generally calculated on an
annual basis. We recognize percentage rental income received during
the first, second and third quarters in the fourth quarter when all
contingencies related to percentage rents are satisfied. Although
recognition of revenue is deferred until the fourth quarter, our
FFO calculation for the first three quarters includes estimated
amounts of deferred percentage rents with respect to those periods.
The fourth quarter calculation of FFO excludes the amounts
recognized during the first three quarters. (4) FFO for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 includes a $1.8 million loss relating to
our early retirement of $20.0 million of our 8 5/8% senior notes
due 2012. WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS THIS PRESS
