Case Nos: 01-3160, 01-3161, 01-3162 Judge: Daniel Manry AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION, Respondent. / SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT This settlement agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between the Agency for Health Care Administration (“AHCA”), and AHC MANAGEMENT, INC., AYERS HEALTH & REHABILITATION CENTER, LLC; BROOKSVILLE HEALTH CARE CENTER, LLC; CYPRESS COVE CARE CENTER, LLC; HEATHER HILL NURSING CENTER, LLC; ROYAL OAK NURSING CENTER, LLC; and BEAR CREEK NURSING CENTER, LLC (“Petitioners”): . | 1. This matter arises out of AHCA’s review of Petitioners Change of Ownership applications (“CHOW”) and determination regarding reimbursement rates for the periods beginning on January 1, 2000. In determining the reimbursement rates, AHCA determined that Settlement Agreement DOAH Case Nos. 01-3160, 01-3161, 01-3162 Page 2 of 5 facility owner, Care Foundation of America, Inc., (“Care”), and the lender, National Health Investors, Inc. (“NHI”), non-parties to these proceedings, were related parties as set forth in §§1000 et seq. of the Provider Reimbursement Manual. 2. Petitioners filed petitions challenging AHCA’s determinations of "related party" status and computation of reimbursement rates for the subject facilities. 3. The parties have conducted discovery and trial preparation. The parties have also entered into settlement negotiations and, as a result of those negotiations, the parties desire to resolve these consolidated cases without further litigation and expense pursuant to the following terms and conditions. 4. As a part of the aforementioned negotiations, discovery, and trial preparation, the Petitioners have obtained Robert Webb’s letter dated September 14, 2001, attached and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, stating that Robert Webb will resign as a member of the Board of Directors of Care and will not act as an owner, director, employee, or agent of Care until such time as AHCA consents or Petitioners’ reimbursement is no longer based upon the NHI financing . 5. Petitioners provided AHCA with the affidavit of Richard F. LaRoche, Jr., attached and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit B, demonstrating that NHI is a bona fide separate organization from Care. In addition, attached as Exhibit C is additional corporate information indicating that Care and NHI are separately incorporated, that Care is a not-for-profit corporation while NHI is for-profit corporation, that Care and NHI have different Federal Employer Identification Numbers, different addresses, and different boards of directors. In addition, Exhibit C includes the 2001 Florida Uniform Business Reports for Care and NHI. Settlement Agreement DOAH Case Nos. 01-3160, 01-3161, 01-3162 Page 3 of 5 6. Mr. LaRoche’s affidavit also demonstrates that a substantial part of NHI’s business activity of the type carried on with Care is transacted with other organizations not related to the provider and the supplier by common ownership or control, and there is an open, competitive market for the type of services, facilities, or supplies furnished by the organization. In addition, attached as Exhibit D is NHI’s 1999 annual report showing NHI’s numerous loans to many other borrowers. | 7. Mr. LaRoche’s affidavit at paragraph 9 also demonstrates that the services provided by NHI are those that are commonly obtained by institutions such as Care from other organizations and are not basic elements of patient care ordinarily furnished directly to patients by such an institution. 8. Mr. LaRoche’s affidavit also demonstrates that NHI’s charge to Care is in line with the charge for such services, facilities, or supplies in the open market and no more than the charge made under comparable circumstances to others by the organization for such services, facilities, or supplies. Additionally, NHI’s charge to Care is within the limits of the Florida Title XIX Long Term Care Reimbursement Plan (“Plan”) which permits interest rates up to three percent (3%) above prime which was 8.5% at the time Care purchased the subject facilities. 9. In consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, AHCA, and Petitioners agree as follows: a. AHCA agrees that Petitioners have satisfied the requirements of the related party exception and agrees to recompute the reimbursement rates of Petitioners effective January 1, 2000, without the related party determination. Petitioners’ property reimbursement under FRVS shall include principal and interest of 11.50%. Settlement Agreement DOAH Case Nos. 01-3160, 01-3161, 01-3162 Page 4 of 5 b. AHCA agrees to pay Petitioners the difference in the rates no later than sixty (60) days from the date this Agreement is adopted by Final Order. AHCA will take immediate steps to issue the Final Order. c. AHCA further agrees that immediately upon receipt of an Order from the Division of Administrative Hearings (“DOAH”) that relinquishes jurisdiction to AHCA, a Final Order will be processed in this matter within a reasonable period of time using best efforts to issue the Final Order as quickly as possible. d. Petitioners reserve their rights to challenge AHCA’s rate computation to verify that they are proper and in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan. e. Upon complete execution of this Agreement by all parties, this Agreement constitutes Petitioners’ dismissal of their petitions with prejudice. f The parties will bear their own fees and costs associated with these proceedings, but Petitioners may claim their attorney’s and accountant’s fees and costs in the appropriate cost reports, subject to the Plan. . g. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and sent via facsimile each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

TOFEL P.32 SEP-18-2881 14:49 98% P.@2 STATE OF TENNESSEE | COUNTY OF RUTHERFORD AFFIDAVIT Before me, a Notary Public in and for said county and state, personally appeared Richard F, LaRoche, Jr., personally known to me, who after being duly sworn according to law, stated as follows: 1. The undersigned, Richard F. LaRoche, Jr., is the duly elected, acting and authorized Vice President, Secretary and Member of the Board of Directors of National Health Investors, Inc., a Maryland corporation. 2. National Health Investors, Inc. was incorporated in the Fall of 1991 and was initially capitalized with 43 health care properties. National health Investors, Inc. is currently (and has been since October 17, 1991) traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NHI". 3. The significant operating information and asset and income information concerning National Health Investors, Inc. for Fiscal Years 1999 and 2000 are as shown on the attached Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein as though copied verbatim. 4, National Health investors, Inc. is the first mortgage holder on six skilled nursing facilities in the State of Florida acquired by Care Foundation of America, Inc. by virtue of Warranty Deeds executed on December 31, 1999 and recorded shortly thereafter in the appropriate offices in the State of Florida. 5. National Health Investors, Inc. has never had any ownership in or owned any stock or other security of Care Foundation of America, Inc., other than the approximate $32 million first mortgage promissory notes issued by Care Foundation of America when it purchased the six above-referenced Florida properties. 6. This is to further certify that National Health Investors, Inc. is a separately chartered, capitalized and owned corporation from Care Foundation of America, Inc. To the best of the undersigned's knowledge, information and belief Care Foundation of America, Inc. is a Tennessee not for profit corporation, which has received a tax exempt determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service and is qualified under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code as amended. Both corporations are distinct legal entities, neither having any ownership or control over the other. 7. This is to further certify that National Health Investors, Inc. does not own the real estate or operations now owned by Care Foundation of America, Inc. on which are located the six skilled nursing facilities in question. National Health Investors, Inc.'s only involvement in these properties is that it is the holder of first mortgage secured promissory notes issued by Care Foundation of America, Inc., the proceeds of which were used by Care Foundation of America, Inc. to acquire fee simple title to these six properties. 8. This is to further certify that a reference to Exhibit A attached shows that in 1999 NHI had a loan portfolio of $788,545,000, of which the six Care Foundation of America first mortgage notes totaled approximately $32 million, just 3.3% of NHI's portfolio, and that at the end of Fiscal Year 2000, NHI had a loan portfolio of $766,977,000, of which the Care Foundation of America, first mortgage notes totaled approximately $32 million. 9. Nursing home acquisition financing is a service provided by NHI, commonly obtained by institutions such as Care Foundation of America from commercial organizations, and is not a basic element of patient care ordinarily furnished to patients by Care Foundation of America. 10. NHI's interest rate on its loan to Care Foundation of America is in line with the charge for such services in the open market at the end of 1999 for nursing home acquisition financing loans made to nursing homes in bankruptcy, and is no more than the charge made under comparable circumstances to others by NHI.

Dear Fellow Stockholders aggressively guarded its assets in 1999 as many of the operators NHI Properties in its portfolio struggled with Medicare’s new reimbursement Report of Independent Public Accountants system. * Selected Quarterly Financial Data and Common Stock Information About the Company Consolidated Balance Sheets National Health Investors, Inc. is a real estate investment trust Consolidated Statements of Income that specializes in the purchase and leaseback of health care real Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity estate and in the making of mortgage loans to health care Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows operators. Revenues come principally from rent and from Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements interest earned and totaled $131,158,000 in 1999. NHI began Management's Discussion and Analysis operations on October 17, 1991. Today, NHI owns or mortgages Board of Directors and Corporate Information 202 properties in 26 states. NHI trades on the New York Stock Exchange. Dear Fellow Stockholder: National Health Investors, Inc. saw the operators in its 1999 portfolio face one of their toughest years as they struggled with Medicare's new Prospective Payment System, PPS. For that meant a year of guarding our assets as we worked to aggressively manage our portfolio. ‘or most of the operators in NHI's portfolio, 1999 was the year when PPS went into effect. PPS is a new payment system for Medicare. Under the original payment system, nursing homes were reimbursed according to actual allowable costs. Under PPS, nursing homes get a set amount of money per patient, per day, based on each patient's diagnosis. These 1999 PPS rates were significantly lower than the traditional rates. Therelore, operators were compelled to slash expenses and those who were unable to cut costs were forced into reorganization. These changes in the Medicare reimbursement system were instrumental in drying-up the availability of new capital. New capital is the lifeblood of growth for real estate investment trusts at distribute their earnings to shareholders through dividends. Therefore in 1999 and 2000 our goal is to focus on managing our portfolio and protecting our assets. Mortgage ond Real Estate Assets On December 31, 1999 NHI had a stake in a total of 202 properties with a total investment of $670,145,000. The properties include two hospitals, eight medical office buildings and 17 homes for the developmentally disabled. The remaining 93% of the portfolio is long- term health care properties. Of the publicly held longterm health ‘care companies in our portfolio, three are in bankruptcy. Sun HealthCare Group, Inc. of Albuquerque, New Mexico filed for bankruptcy in October of 1999. Mariner Post Acute Care of Atlanta, Georgia filed in January, 2000. Integrated Health Services, Inc. of Sparks, Maryland filed for bankruptcy protection in February, 2000. Of the private operators, Lenox Healthcare of Pittsfield, Massachusetts filed for bankruptcy in November of 1999 and Texas Health terprises of Denton, Texas filed in August of 1999. We expect to foreclose on one property tied to the Lenox Healthcare bankrupicy and we included that Florida property in our $10 million write down during the fourth quarter of 1999. In addition, during 1999, 14 properties were deeded to NHI in satisfaction of their mortgages. Now NHI owns the real estate and is the operator of the centers. National HealthCare Corporation is managing the centers and we anticipate they will be able to return these facilities to a profitable status during 2000. NHI believes that the fair value of its real estate and the collateral value of its loans support their current net carrying values. In 2000, we will continue to guard our assets by aggressively managing the ortfolio and making sure each operator is in full compliance on their loan and lease payments. Should an operator fall out of compliance we would aggressively monitor performance and attempt to impose a lock box for receipt of accounts receivable in order to protect our investment. Should bankruptcy ensue, the experience we gained in 1999 allows us to more forcefully demand adequate protection from the court. Generally speaking, we would prefer to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure rather than force participation in the very expensive and frustrating debtor protection system. Future Growth In 2000, our priority is to continue to " manage our portfolio and continue to have the majority of our portfolio invested in Tong term care. We believe long-term care is fundamentally a good business and that over time it will : perform well in the future in light of the demographic and market changes occurring in the long-term care marketplace. However, in 2000 we don’t anticipate substantial growth as operators adjust to PPS and we continue to deal with a difficult capital market. Capital Markets NH1’s $100 million revolving line of credit matures this year. We are working to extend the maturity date; however, we anticipate Paying a higher interest rate in today’s market. proximately $38.6 million in convertible subordinated debentures are due January 1, 2001. We anticipate these debentures being repaid from the prepayment of mortgages or through the sale of short-term investments. Dividends Through 1999 we paid a quarterly dividend of 74 cents per common share. This represented a 98% pay-out ratio versus basic FFO. This is a higher pay-out ratio than we would like and as a result, in March, 2000 we announced a reduction in our quarterly dividend of 10 cents per common share to 64 cents. This is 's first dividend decline and it reflects the company’s concerns over continuing volatility in the long-term care industry and increased interest expense on the company’s bank debt. W. Andrew Adams, Chairman Financial Results NHI funds from operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $3.02 per share basic and $2.95 per share diluted, compared to $3.08 per share basic and $3 per share diluted for the same period last year. After considering a one-time non-cash write-down of $10 million of mortgage and real estate assets, 1999 net income was $53,618,000 or $2.13 per share basic and diluted compared to 1998 net income of $69,645,000 or $2.72 per share basic and $2.69 per share diluted. NHI recorded a one-time non-cash write down of $10 million, a decrease of 41 cents per share basic and diluted, in the fourth quarter because of the impairment of values related to mortgage foreclosures and lease terminations. charge reduces net income but has no impact on FFO. arnings and FFO for the prior year ended December 31, 1998 include nonrecurring income of $5,001,000, an increase of 20 cents per share basic and 17 cents per share diluted related to the receipt of commitment fees and prepayment penalties from loan prepayments in 1998, There was no nonrecurring income reported in 1999. Future We pledge to guard our assets, with the foal of increasing stockholder value. We believe the tide will tum positive for long-term care in 2000 and will participate in this turnaround in 2001.

Long-term Debt ond Credit Facilities (continued) The debt identified as senior secured notes due 2009 was financed through NHC, National Health Corporation, (“National”) and through the National Health Corporation Leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust before being transferred to NHI with the creation of NHI in 1991. On July 30, 1999, National was notified by SunTrust Bank of Nashville, N.A., the Agent for itself and certain other lenders for the above-referenced loan, that as Agent it disputes the allocation of certain collateral between itself and another lending institu- tion. National is-actively negotiating for resolution of this dis- pute. In the event the dispute is not resolved, the Agent may call the loan into default. If the loan is called into default, payments by NHI to repay the loan may have a material adverse impact upon NH1’s cash flows and liquidity. The debt identified as senior secured notes is cross-defaulted with other liabilities of NHC and its affiliates and is cross-collat- eralized to the extent of approximately $15,906,000 of debt. Thus, in the event NHC defaulted on its obligations under its debt packages, NHI could lose its interest in the related mortgage notes receivable or real estate properties. The aggregate principal maturities of all long-term debt and credit facilities for the five years subsequent to December 31, 1999 are as follows: 2000 $92,574,000 2001 4,606,000 2002 30,952,000 2003 5,084,000 2004 5,886,000 Certain loan agreements require maintenance of specified operating ratios as well as specified levels of working capital and stockholders’ equity by NHI and NHC. All such covenants have been met by NHI, and NHI believes all such covenants have been met by NHC. Note 10. Convertible Subordinated Debentures 1997 Debentures - On January 29, 1997, NHI issued $60,000,000 of 7% convertible subordinated debentures (the “1997 debentures”) due on February 1, 2004. At December 31, 1999, 1997 debentures in the amount of $56,286,000 were out- standing. The 1997 debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into common stock of NHI at a conversion price of $37.50, subject to adjustment. During 1999, none of the 1997 debentures were converted. During 1998, $3,349,000 of the 1997 debentures were converted into 89,302 shares of common stock. NHI has reserved an additional 1,500,960 shares of common stock for 1997 debenture conversions. The 1997 debentures will not be redeemable prior to February 8, 2002 except in the event of certain tax-related events or to the extent necessary to preserve and protect NHI's status as a real estate investment trust. The debentures are subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all senior indebted- -ness of the Company. Interest is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. 1995 Debentures - On December 12, 1995, NHI sold $45,000,000 of a total of $10,000,000 of 7.75% convertible subor- dinated debentures (the “1995 debentures”) due on January 1, 2001. The remaining $55,000,000 were sold on January 15, 1996. At December 31, 1999, 1995 debentures in the amount of $38,060,000 were outstanding. National Health investors, inc. Page 18 The 1995 debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into common stock of NHI at a conversion price of $31.625, sub- ject to adjustment. During 1999 and 1998, $10,000 and $9,352,000, respectively, of the 1995 debentures were converted into 316 and 295,711 shares of common stock. NHI has reserved an additional 1,203,478 shares of common stock for 1995 debenture conversions. The 1995 debentures will not be redeemable prior to maturity except in the event of certain tax-related events or to the extent necessary to preserve and protect NHI's status as a real estate investment trust. The debentures are subordinated in right of pay- ment to the prior payment in full of all senior indebtedness of the Company. Interest is payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. 1995 Debt Service Debentures - In November 1995, NHI began offering 7% subordinated convertible debentures due on January 1, 2006. NHI may offer up to $25,000,000 of these debentures to current and future mortgagees and lessees of NHI to satisfy exist- ing debt service reserve escrow requirements under applicable mortgages or leases. During 1999, $4,347,000 of the debentures were redeemed. At December 31, 1999, debentures in the amount of $1,190,000 were outstanding. The debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into common stock of NHI at a conversion price of 110% of the market price on the date of issuance of the debentures, subject to adjust- ment. During 1999, none of the debentures were converted into common stock. During 1998, $871,000 of the debentures were con- verted into 26,393 shares of common stock. NHI has reserved 32,740 shares of common stock for conversion of 1995 debt service debentures. Interest is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year. : Senior Debentures - On October 17, 1991, NHI issued $110,000,000 of 10% senior convertible subordinated debentures (the “senior debentures”) due 2006. At December 31, 1999, senior debentures in the amount of $205,000 were outstanding. The senior debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into NHI’s common stock at a price of $20 per share, sub- ject to adjustment. In 1999, none of the senior debentures were converted. In 1998, $25,000 of the senior debentures were con- verted into 1,250 shares of common stock. NHI has reserved an additional 10,250 shares of common stock for senior debenture conversions. The senior debentures rank equally with other unsecured debt of NHI (other than the trade debt) but are subordinated to all existing and secured indebtedness. NHI may not incur or guaran-. tee unsecured indebtedness which is senior in right of payment to the senior debentures. Interest at 10% is payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. Note 11. Commitments and Guarantees At December 31, 1999, NHI was committed, subject to due diligence and financial performance goals, to fund approxi- mately $9,000,000 in health care real estate projects, of which $7,000,000 is expected to be funded within the next 12 months. The commitments include mortgage loans for two long-term health care centers, one medical Bice building, and three assisted living facilities, all at rates ranging from 9% to 11.5%. Included in the $9,000,000 of commitments is a commitment to Joan an additional $2,000,000 on one existing loan when the mortgagee obtains certain operating ratios. In order to obtain the consent of appropriate lenders to NHC’s transfer of assets to NHI, NHI guaranteed certain debt ($14,320,000 at December 31, 1999) of NHC and its affiliates. The debt is at fixed interest rates with a weighted average interest rate of 8.3% at December 31, 1999. NHI receives from NHC com- pensation of approximately $72,000 per annum for the guaran- tees which is credited against NHC’s base rent requirements. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 11. Commitments and Guarantees (continued) In management's opinion, these guarantee fees approximate the guarantee fees that NHI would currently charge to enter into similar guarantees. All of the guaranteed indebtedness discussed above is secured by first mortgages and rights which may be enforced if either party is required to pay under their respective guarantees. NHC has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless NHI against any and all loss, liability or harm incurred by NHI as a result of having to perform under its guarantee of any or all of the guar- anteed debt. : Additionally, NHI has outstanding letters of credit totaling $9,580,000. NHI also has guaranteed bank loans in the amount of $1,447,700 to key employees and directors utilized for the exer- cise of stock options. All shares of NHI stock purchased with the proceeds of the guaranteed loans are held as collateral by NHI and the loans are limited to $100,000 per individual per year. NHI's potential accounting loss related to these guaranteed bank loans, if all collateral failed, is the face amount of the guaranteed loans outstanding. NHI is aware of certain income tax contingencies with regards to limitations on ownership of its stock and to its use of an independent contractor to manage certain of its fore- closure properties. In order to fully resolve the contingencies, NH is in the process of requesting from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) closing agreements regarding each of these contingencies. NHI’s management, based on its discussions with its legal counsel, understands that other real estate investment trusts have been successful in obtaining closing agreements with the IRS regarding real estate investment trust qualification issues. However, it is possible that the IRS will not rule in favor of NHI. Such an unfavorable ruling could result in the assessment of taxes, penalties and interest by the IRS that are material to NHI’s financial statements taken as a whole and could also result in the loss of NHI’s status as a real estate investment trust, which would have a significant adverse impact on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of NHI. Note 12. Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock In February and March 1994, NHI issued $109,558,000 of 8.5% cumulative convertible preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) with a liquidation preference of $25 per share. Dividends at an annual rate of $2.125 are cumulative from the date of issuance and are paid quarterly. The Preferred Stock is convertible into NHI common stock at the option of the holder at any time at a conversion price of $27.625 per share of common stock, which is equivalent to a con- version rate of 0.905 per share of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Preferred Stock is not redeemable for cash, but effective February 15, 1999, the Preferred Stock is redeemable by NHI for common stock. NHI may redeem the Preferred Stock only if the trading price of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) exceeds $27.625 per share for 20 trading days within a period of 30 trading days prior to the exercise. ‘At December 31, 1999, 748,694 shares of the Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 677,568 shares of common stock, are outstanding. During 1999 and 1998, respectively, 20,200 and 64,770 shares of Preferred Stock were converted into 18,280 and 58,596 shares of common stock. NHI has reserved 677,568 shares of common stock for Preferred Stock conversions. Note 13. Limits on Common Stock Ownership On October 16, 1996, the NHI Board of Directors, pursuant to powers granted by the Company’s charter, changed the limit on the percentage of ownership which any person may have in the outstanding common stock of the Company from a limit of 7.0% to a limit of 9.9%. The limit on ownership of any other class of stock (including issues convertible into common stock) remains at 9.9% of the outstanding stock. This limit is a provision of the Company’s charter and is necessary in order to reduce the possi- bility of the Company’s failing to meet the stock ownership requirements for qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Note 14. Stock Option Plan NH has stock option plans which provide for the granting of options to key employees and directors of NHI to purchase shares of common stock at a price no less than the market value of the stock on the date the option is granted. The options may be exercised immediately, but the Company may purchase the shares at the grant price if employment is terminated prior to six years from the date of grant. The maximum term of the options is five years. The following table summarizes option activity: Weighted Average Number of Exercise Options Outstanding Shares Price Outstanding December 31, 1996 100,712 $26.75 Options granted 194,000 36.00 Options exercised 39,365 29.78 Outstanding December 31, 1997 255,347 33.31 Options granted 45,000 39.88 Options exercised and canceled 79,213 28.42 Outstanding December 31, 1998 221,134 36.40 Options granted 190,000 16.81 Options expired 1,000 28.75 Outstanding December 31, 1999 410,134 $27.34 At December 31, 1999, all options outstanding are exercisable. Exercise prices on the exercisable options range from $14.50 to $39.88. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at December 31, 1999 is 3.4 years. NHI has reserved 577,347 shares of common stock for issuance under the stock option plans. NH has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Asa result, no com- pensation cost has been recognized for NHI’s stock option plans. Based on the number of options granted and the historical and expected future trends of factors affecting valuation of those options, management believes that the additional compensation cost, as calculated in accordance with SFAS 123, has no effect on NHI's earnings per share.

Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Net income is reduced by dividends to holders of cumulative convertible preferred stock. Diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion of convertible subordinated debentures, the conversion of cumulative convert- ible preferred stock and the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. Net income is increased for interest expense on the convertible subordinated debentures.

Relationship with National HealthCare Corporation Leases - On October 17, 1991, concurrent with NHC’s con- veyance of real property to NHI, NHI leased to NHC 40 long- term care facilities and three retirement centers. Each lease is for an initial term expiring December 31, 2001, with two additional five-year renewal terms at the option of NHC, assuming no defaults. NHI accounts for its leases as operating leases. During the initial term of the first renewal term, NHC is oblig- ated to pay annual base rent on all 43 facilities of $15,238,000. If NHC exercises its option to extend the leases for a second renewal term, the base rent will be the then fair rental value as negotiated by NHI and NHC. . The leases also obligate NHC to pay as debt service rent all payments of interest and principal due under each mortgage to which the conveyance of the facilities was subject. Payments for debt still being serviced are required for the shorter of the remaining life of the mortgage or lease term. In addition to base rent and debt service rent, in each year after 1992, NHC must pay percentage rent to NHI equal to 3% of the amount by which gross revenue of each facility in such later year exceeds the gross revenue of such facility in 1992. Each lease with NHC is a “triple net lease” under which NHC is responsible for paying all taxes, utilities, insurance premium costs, repairs and other charges relating to the ownership of the facilities. NHC is obligated at its expense to maintain adequate insurance on the facilities’ assets. NHC has a right-of-first refusal with NHI to purchase any of the initial properties transferred from NHC should NHI receive an offer from an unrelated party during the term of the lease or up to 180 days after termination of the related lease. Rental income was $45,993,000 ($30,735,000 from NHC) in 1999; $42,268,000 ($31,732,000 from NHC) in 1998; and . $39,948,000 ($29,829,000 from NHC) in 1997. During 1997, NHI purchased $23,375,000 of additional prop- erty from NHC. This property represents capital improvements at 15 long-term care centers owned by NHI and leased to NHC. Additional base rent equal to 9.5% oft the amount transferred is paid annually by NHC. At December 31, 1999, the future minimum lease payments to be received by NHI under its operating leases, including debt ser- vice payments which are based on interest rates in effect at December 31, 1999, are as follows: NHC Others Total 2000 $ 29,652,000 $ 15,077,000 $ 44,729,000 2001 29,504,000 15,201,000 44,705,000 2002 -0- 14,783,000 14,783,000 2003 -0- 14,539,000 14,539,000 2004 -0- 14,673,000 14,673,000 Thereafter -0- 105,779,000 105,779,000 NHC has stated in its financial statements that it is a defen- dant in a lawsuit filed under the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act. The outcome of this pending lawsuit could have a material adverse impact on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of NHC and NHC’s resultant ability to make its lease payments to NHI. Advisory Agreement - NHI has entered into an Advisory Agreement with NHC whereby services related to investment activities and day-to-day management and operations are pro- vided to NHI by NHC. As Advisor, NHC is subject to the super- vision of and policies established by NHI’s Board of Directors. Either party may terminate the Advisory Agreement on 90 days notice at any time. NHI may terminate the Advisory Agreement for cause at any time. For its services under the Advisory Agreement, NHC is enti- tled to annual compensation of $2,779,000 in 1999 ($3,310,000 in 1998 and $3,101,000 in 1997). The annual compensation is reduced by any compensation paid by NHI to its executive offi- cers, if any. However, the payment of such annual compensation is conditional upon NHI having funds from operations sufficient to enable NHI to pay annual dividends of $2.00 per common share and upon NHI paying such dividends. Funds from opera- tions is defined for these purposes as net income, plus deprecia- tion and amortization, less the effect of any capital gains or losses included in such net income. Increases in compensation to NHC under the Advisory Agreement are proportional to increases in NH1’s funds from operations per common share as defined above. Note 19.

Page 21 i <9 Management's Discussion and Analysis * Overview National Health Investors, Inc. (“NHI” or the “Company”) is a real estate investment trust that invests primarily in income producing health care properties with emphasis on the long-term care sector. As of December 31, 1999, NHI had interests in net real estate owned, and investments in mortgages, real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICS, preferred stock and marketable securities resulting in total invested assets of $757.9 mil- lion. NHI’s strategy has been to invest in health care real estate which generates current income that will be distrib- uted to stockholders. NHI has implemented this strategy by making mortgage loans and acquiring properties to lease nationwide primarily in the long-term health care industry. Current market conditions make it unlikely that any material new investments in health care properties will occur during 2000. Instead, NHI is monitoring and improv- ing its existing properties. As of December 31, 1999, NHI was diversified with investments in 202 health care facilities located in 26 states consisting of 146 long-term care facilities, two acute care hospitals, eight medical office buildings, 22 assisted living facilities, seven retirement centers and 17 residential pro- "jects for the developmentally disabled. These investments consisted of approximately $316.5 million aggregate princi- pal amount of loans to 29 borrowers, $316.0 million of pur- chase leaseback transactions with seven lessees and $37.7 million invested in REMIC pass through certificates backed by first mortgage loans to four operators. Of these 202 facilities, 51 are leased to National HealthCare Corporation (“NHC”) and nine additional facilities are managed by NHC. NHC is NHI’s investment advisor. Consistent with its strategy of diversification, NHI has reduced the portion of its portfolio operated or managed by NHC from 100.0% of total invested assets on October 17, 1991 to 22.1% of total invested assets on December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1999, 55.4% of the total invested assets of the health care facilities were operated by public operators, 24.0% by regional operators, and 20.6% by local operators. Liquidity and Copital Resources Sources and Uses of Funds NHI has generated net cash from operating activities during 1999 totaling $73.4 million compared to $84.9 mil- lion in the prior year. The primary reason for this year to year decline was a reduction in net income accompanied y an increase in accounts receivable offset in part by increased depreciation expense, loan loss provisions and accounts payable. The increased accounts receivable and payable are due primarily to patient accounts receivable generated from operations of nursing centers taken over in loan foreclosures. Net cash from operating activities gener- ally includes net income plus non-cash expenses, such as depreciation and amortization and provision for loan losses, and working capital changes. Net cash used in investing activities during 1999 totaled $53.4 million compared to $78.7 million in the prior year. Cash flows rovided from investing activities during 1999 included collections on mortgage notes receivable of $16.3 million compared to $3.9 million for the prior year, along with prepayment of $93.9 million of mortgage notes receiv- able in the prior period. ; Page 22 National Health Investors, Inc. Cash flows used in investing activities during 1999 included investment in mortgage notes Teceivable of $22.2 million, real estate properties oFsi43 million, and mar- ketable securities of $33.2 million. Cash flows used in investing activities in the prior eriod included investment in mortgage notes receivable of $67.6 million, in real estate properties of $40.7 million, in preferred stock of $38.1 million and in marketable securities of $30.1 million. - Net cash used in financing activities during 1999 totaled $23.8 million compared to $50.7 million in the prior year. Cash flows provided by financing activities in’1999 ; included $29.5 million from credit facility borrowings and $25.8 million from long term debt borrowings, compared in 1998 to $58.5 million from credit facility borrowings, $0.2 million from long term debt borrowing and $2.0 million from the sale of common stock. Cash flows used in financing activities for 1999 included principal payments on long-term debt of $4.5 million and dividends paid to shareholders of $73.8 million. This com- pares to prior year activity of $4.3 million of principal pay- ments on long term debt, dividends paid to shareholders of $75.8 million and the repurchase of common stock of $31.3 million. In March, 2000, we announced a reduction in our quarterly dividend of 10 cents per common share to 64 cents. This is NHI’s first dividend decline and it reflects the company’s concerns about continuing volatility in the long-term care industry and increased interest expense on the company’s bank debt. NHI has established a senior unsecured revolving line of credit that allows it to borrow a maximum of $100.0 mil- lion. The amount available to be drawn on this revolvin line of credit is $12.0 million at December 31, 1999, and the entire balance outstanding matures in October 2000. In addition, $38.1 million of NHI’s convertible subordinated debentures bot ending at December 31, 1999 mature on January 1, 2001, and NHI likely will redeem these deben- tures in cash. It is unlikely that holders of these convertible subordinated debentures will convert them to common stock Prior to January 1, 2001. The debentures may be repaid from the proceeds of mortgage prepayments or through the sale of short-term investments. The lack of availability of reasonably priced capital limits NHI’s ability to make new investments, and future refinancings at higher interest rates could have an adverse impact on NHI’s financial position, results of Operations and cash flows. . Commitments At December 31, 1999, NHI was committed, subject to due diligence and financial performance goals, to fund approximately $9.0 million in health care real estate pro- jects, of which $7.0 million is expected to be funded within the next 12 months. The commitments include mort age loans for two long-term health care centers, one medical office building and three assisted living facilities all at rates ranging from 9.0% to 11.5 %. Also included in the $9.0 mil- lion of commitments is a commitment to loan an additional $2.0 million on one existing loan when the mortgagee "obtains certain operating ratios. _ Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued) ’ 4 Financing for current commitments and future commit- ments to others may be provided by cash balances, by bor- rowings under NHI’s bank credit facilities, new lines of credit, private placements or public offerings of debt or equity, the assumption of secured or unsecured indebted- ness, or by the sale of all or a portion of certain currently held investments. . NHI is currently limited in its ability to make new investments due to a lack of availability of reasonably priced capital. However, NHI believes it has sufficient lig- uidity and financing capability to finance current invest- ments for which it is committed as well as to repay or refinance borrowings at or prior to their maturity. Loan Foreclosures and Bankruptcy As more fully described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, during late 1998 and during 1999 NHI purchased 17 long-term health care facilities and a retirement center for $81.4 million. The purchases were undertaken either in foreclosure or in lieu of foreclosure due to financial defaults on first mortgage loans with three different owners. The mortgages had been funded from 1993 through 1996 in original principal amounts totaling $88.6 million. NHI is treating each of the Pre erties described above as foreclosure property for federal income tax purposes. With this election, unqualified income generated by the properties is expected to be treated as qualified income for a minimum of two years from the purchase date for pur- pose of the income-source tests that must be satisfied by real estate investment trusts to maintain their tax status. As more fully described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, during late 1999 NHI was informed of the bankruptcy of one of its major borrowers. The bank- ruptcy may affect three of NHI’s mortgage loans. The three loans, which are secured by 17 long-term health care facili- ties and other property, were made to three different enti- ties in the original principal amounts totaling $55.5 million. Current carrying amounts of the three loans total $41.9 mil- lion. NHI is currently evaluating the collateral given for the loans, but believes that for each of the three loans the ‘collateral supports the net carrying value of the loan. Loan Write-offs and Income Recognition As more fully described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, during 1999 NHI wrote off $10.0 million of morgage notes receivable with carrying values before write-off of $74.0 million. In addition, NHI dis- continued income recognition on one loan that had a carrying value of $4.5 million. As of December 31, 1999, two loans with carrying values of $40.9 million earning interest at approximately 11% have unpaid interest of from 30 to 60 days outstanding. Consistent with its policy on nonperforming loans to not recognize unpaid mortgage interest income in excess of 90 days, NHI may discontinue income recognition on these and other mortgage notes receivable in 2000. Results of Operations Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998 Net income for the year ended December 31, 1999 is $53.6 million versus $69.6 million for the same period in 1998, a decrease of 23.0%. Diluted earnings per common share decreased 56 cents or 20.8%, to $2.13 in 1999 from $2.69 in 1998. _ December 31, 1997 o="~"""'Net income for the year ended December 31, 1998 is Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased $24.6 million or 23.1% to $131.2 million from $106.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Revenues from mortgage interest income decreased $7.9 million, or 13.9%, when compared to the same period in 1998. Revenues from rental income increased $3.7 million, or 8.8% in 1999 as compared to 1998. Revenues from investment interest and other income increased $4.5 mil- lion or 61.2% compared to 1998. Facility operating revenue increased to $24.3 million in 1999 compared to $0.0 million in 1998. . The decrease in mortgage interest income is due in part to a decline in the average amount of mortgage invest- ments outstanding as a result of prepayments and foreclo- sure on mortgage loans. During the prior year 1998, NHI received $93.9 million of prepayments on mortgage notes receivable. In addition, during 1998 and 1999, NHI fore- closed on mortgage loans totaling $81.4 million. Furthermore, mortgage interest income in 1999 included no income from prepayment penalties and unamortized commitment fees applicable to early loan repayments as compared to $5.0 million of income in 1998. The increase in rental income resulted primarily from the increase in investments in real estate properties of $55.0 | million during the last 24 months. The increase in invest- ment interest and other income is due to the investment of higher cash amounts, as well as the net investment of $33.2 million in marketable securities during 1999. Total expenses for 1999 increased $40.6 million or 110.1% to $77.5 million from $36.9 million for 1998. Interest expense increased $6.5 million or 33.9% in 1999 as com- pared to 1998. Depreciation of real estate increased $2.5 million or 28.3% when compared to 1998. General and administrative costs decreased $0.6 million or 15.9%. Loan loss expense increased $9.5 million or_223.9% to $13.8 mil- lion. Facility operating expense increased to $22.6 million in 1999 compared to $0.0 million in 1998. Interest expense increased due to increased borrowing on credit facilities and long-term debt compared to the prior year. Depreciation increased as a result of NHI placing newly constructed assets in service, property acquisitions, and the purchase, in lieu of foreclosure, of + four long-term health care centers previously owned by All Seasons Living Centers, and seven long term health care centers and one retirement center previously managed and guaranteed by Phoenix Healthcare Corporation (formerly Tatros Health Network) as discussed in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. NHI recorded a non-cash charge of $10.0 million, a decrease of 41 cents per share basic and diluted, in the fourth quarter because of the impairment of values related ; to mortgage loans, foreclosures and lease terminations. The i charge reduces net income but has no impact on funds from operations (“FFO”). Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended $69.6 million versus $75.4 million for 1997, a decrease of 7.6%. Diluted earnings per common share decreased 23 cents or 7.9% to $2.69 in 1998 from $2.92 in 1997. Total revenues for the year ended December 31,1998 decreased $4.9 million or 4.4% to $106.6 million from $111.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. Revenues from mortgage interest income decreased $10.5 National Health Investors, Inc. Page 23 million, or 15.6%, when compared to the same period in 1997. Revenues from rental income increased $2.3 million, or 5.8% in 1998 as compared to 1997. Revenues from investment interest and other income increased $3.3 mil- lion or 83.7% compared to 1997. The decrease in mortgage interest income is due to the receipt by NHI of prepayments of $93.9 million of first mortgages receivable during 1998, compared to new mort- gage investments of $67.6 million during the same period. Mortgage interest income included $7.3 million of prepay- ment penalties and unamortized commitment fees applica- ble to early loan repayments in 1998. The increase in rental income resulted primarily from the increase in investments in real estate properties of $40.7 million during the previous 12 months. The increase in investment interest and other income is due to the investment of higher cash amounts, as well as the invest- ment of $38.1 million in the preferred stock of LTC Properties, Inc. and $30.1 million in marketable securities. Total expenses for the 1998 twelve month period increased $0.9 million or 2.5% to $36.9 million from $36.0 million for the 1997 twelve month period. Interest expense decreased $3.1 million or 14.0% in the 1998 twelve month period as compared to the 1997 period. Depreciation of real estate increased $.9 million or 11.4% while amortization of loan and organization costs decreased $.1 million or 17.7% in 1998 when compared to 1997. General and administrative costs increased 5.2%. Loan loss provisions were $4.3 million for 1998 compared to $1.2 million for 1997. Interest expense decreased due to lower average levels of long-term and subordinated debt compared toa year ago. Depreciation increased as a result oft NHI placing newly constructed assets in service and property acquisi- tions. Loan loss provisions increased based on the applica- tion of NHI’s policy for determining loan loss provisions. The 1998 repurchase of 1,122,000 shares of common stock for $31.3 million resulted in a reduction of weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding in 1998 of 343,000. Notwithstanding alternative uses of the cash used to repurchase the common stock, the repurchase resulted in an increase in 1998 net income per share of 3 cents basic and diluted. Income Taxes CS NHI intends at all times to qualify as a real estate invest- ment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Therefore, NHI will not be subject to federal income tax provided it distributes at least 95% of its annual real estate investment trust taxable income to its stockholders and meets other requirements to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements. NHI’s failure to continue to qualify under the applicable REIT qualification rules and reg- ‘ulations would have a material adverse impact on the finan- cial position, results of operations and cash flows of NHI. NHI is aware of certain income tax contingencies with regards to limitations on ownership of its stock and to its use of an independent contractor to manage certain of its fore- closure properties. In order to fully resolve the contingencies, NHI is in the process of requesting from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) closing agreements regarding each of these contingencies. NHI’s management, based on its discussions with its legal counsel, understands that other real estate investment trusts have been successful in obtaining closing Page 24 National Health Investors, Inc. -_ Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued) red if agreements with the IRS regarding real estate investment trust qualification issues. However, it is possible that the IRS will not rule in favor of NHI. Such an unfavorable rulin could result in the assessment of taxes, penalties and interest by the IRS that are material to NHI’s financial statements taken as a whole and could also result in the loss of NHI’s status as a real estate investment trust, which would havea significant adverse impact on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of NHI. Impact of Inflation Inflation may affect NHI in the future by changing the underlying value of NHI's real estate or by impacting NHI’s cost of financing its operations. "Revenues of NHI are primarily from long-term invest- ments. Certain of NHI's leases require increases in rental income based upon increases in the revenues of the ten- ants. NHI has negotiated similar provisions in many of its mortgage notes receivable. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requir- ing that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the deriva- tive’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SEAS 133, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, “Deferred of the Effective Date of SFAS 133”, is effective for fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 2000. The impact of the adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material impact on NHI’s results of operations or financial position. Year 2000 Compliance In recent years, as part of its Year 2000 readiness plan, NHI focused on potential Year 2000 issues in areas such as mainframe and network computer operations, personal computer hardware and software, third party mortgagees and lessees, and third party vendors. Based on the results of NHI’s Year 2000 assessment remediation and testing and based on experience since January 1, 2000, NHI does not believe that any significant Year 2000 issues continue to exist related to these areas. With regards to NHI's third party mortgagees and lessees, NHIs assessment of Year 2000 issues has been based primarily on information provided by mortgagees and lessees and on NHI's uninterrupted receipt of monthly mortgage and lease payments. However, there can be no assurance that the information provided by the mortgagees and lessees is accurate or complete or that NHI’s third party mortgagees and lessees are not experi- encing or may experience Year 2000 issues. Asa result of its advisory agreement with NHC, costs related to NHI’s Year 2000 plan have not been material and are not expected to be material in future periods. No additional advisory fees have been or will be charged to NHI related to the assessment, remediation and testing of NHI’s Year 2000 compliance.
