MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. Organization

Medical Properties Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Company), was formed on August 27, 2003 under the General Corporation Law of Maryland for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial real estate. The Company’s operating partnership subsidiary, MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. (the Operating Partnership) through which it conducts all of its operations, was formed in September 2003. Through another wholly owned subsidiary, Medical Properties Trust, LLC, the Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Company presently owns directly substantially all of the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership.

The Company’s primary business strategy is to acquire and develop real estate and improvements, primarily for long term lease to providers of healthcare services such as operators of general acute care hospitals, inpatient physical rehabilitation hospitals, long-term acute care hospitals, surgery centers, centers for treatment of specific conditions such as cardiac, pulmonary, cancer, and neurological hospitals, and other healthcare-oriented facilities. The Company manages its business as a single business segment as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation: Property holding entities and other subsidiaries of which the Company owns 100% of the equity or has a controlling financial interest evidenced by ownership of a majority voting interest are consolidated. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated. For entities in which the Company owns less than 100% of the equity interest, the Company consolidates the property if it has the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entities’ activities based upon the terms of the respective entities’ ownership agreements. For entities in which the Company owns less than 100% and does not have the direct or indirect ability to make decisions but does exert significant influence over the entities’ activities, the Company records its ownership in the entity using the equity method of accounting.

The Company periodically evaluates all of its transactions and investments to determine if they represent variable interests in a variable interest entity as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) (FIN 46-R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in a variable interest entity, the Company determines if it is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. The Company consolidates each variable interest entity in which the Company, by virtue of its transactions with or investments in the entity, is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The Company re-evaluates its status as primary beneficiary when a variable interest entity or potential variable interest entity has a material change in its variable interests.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information, including rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 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 three month ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

New Accounting Pronouncements: The following is a summary of recently issued accounting pronouncements which have been issued but not adopted by the Company.

On July 25, 2007, the FASB authorized a FASB Staff Position (the “proposed FSP”) that, if issued, would affect the accounting for our exchangeable notes. If issued in the form expected, the proposed FSP would require that the initial debt proceeds from the sale of our exchangeable notes be allocated between a liability component and an equity component. The resulting debt discount would be amortized over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding as additional interest expense. The proposed FSP would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and require retroactive application. Because the proposed FSP is currently being deliberated by the FASB and therefore subject to change, the Company has not determined the effect of the proposed FSP on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 requires prospective application for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company evaluated the requirements of this statement and has determined its impact had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed (including intangibles), and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this statement and has not yet determined its effect on the Company’s future acquisitions or consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for a parent company’s noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this statement and has not yet determined its effect on the Company’s future consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2007 consolidated financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on stockholders’ equity or net income.

3. Real Estate and Lending Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, revenue from Vibra Healthcare, LLC accounted for 15.2% and 22.6%, respectively, of total revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, revenue from affiliates of Prime Healthcare Services, Inc. accounted for 37.2% and 24.0%, respectively, of total revenue.

In March, 2008, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire a portfolio of 20 healthcare facilities in 15 states, including six acute care hospitals, three long-term acute care hospitals, five inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and six wellness centers, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $357.2 million. The Company intends to finance these acquisitions using proceeds from its March, 2008, issuance of debt and equity (see Note 4 — Debt and Note 5 — Common Stock), from its existing revolving credit facilities and from the planned sale of real estate (see Note 7 — Discontinued Operations).

In March 2008, the Company’s Operating Partnership issued and sold, in a private offering, $75.0 million of Exchangeable Senior Notes (the “Exchangeable Notes”) and received proceeds of $72.8 million. In April 2008, the Operating Partnership sold an additional $7.0 million of Exchangeable Notes (under the initial purchasers’ overallotment option) and received proceeds of $6.8 million. The Exchangeable Notes will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 9.25% per annum and mature on April 1, 2013. The notes have an initial exchange rate of 80.8898 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, representing an exchange price of approximately $12.36 per common share. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership, guaranteed by the Company.

5. Common Stock

In March 2008, the Company sold 12,650,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10.75 per share. After deducting underwriters commissions and offering expenses, the Company realized proceeds of $128.7 million.

6. Stock Awards

The Company has adopted the Second Amended and Restated Medical Properties Trust, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the Equity Incentive Plan) which authorizes the issuance of options to purchase shares of common stock, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and other stock-based awards, including profits interest in the Operating Partnership. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. At March 31, 2008, the Company has reserved 4,631,330 of common stock for awards under the Equity Incentive Plan.

In the first quarter of 2008, the Company awarded 401,762 shares of restricted stock to management and independent directors. The awards to management vest based on service over five years in equal annual amounts beginning in February, 2009.

with the Company realizing a gain on the sale of approximately $9.4 million. In connection with the sale, the Company was paid $7.0 million as early lease termination fees. The Company also wrote off approximately $9.4 million in related straight-line rent upon completion of the sales. At March 31, 2008, the three Vibra properties are classified as held for sale and are reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at $80.8 million and $81.4 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Forward-Looking Statements.

This report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results or future performance, achievements or transactions or events to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended) for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such factors include, among others, the following:

	•		National and local economic, business, real estate and other market conditions;
	•		The competitive environment in which the Company operates;
	•		The execution of the Company’s business plan;
	•		Financing risks;
	•		Acquisition and development risks;
	•		Potential environmental and other liabilities;
	•		Other factors affecting real estate industry generally or the healthcare real estate industry in particular;
	•		Our ability to attain and maintain our status as a REIT for federal and state income tax purposes;
	•		Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and,
	•		Federal and state healthcare regulatory requirements.

Overview

We were incorporated under Maryland law on August 27, 2003 primarily for the purpose of investing in and owning net-leased healthcare facilities across the United States. We have operated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) since April 6, 2004, and accordingly, elected REIT status upon the filing in September 2005 of our calendar year 2004 federal income tax return. We acquire and develop healthcare facilities and lease the facilities to healthcare operating companies under long-term net leases. We also make mortgage loans to healthcare operators secured by their real estate assets. We also selectively make loans to certain of our operators through our taxable REIT subsidiary, the proceeds of which are used for acquisitions and working capital.

At March 31, 2008, our portfolio consisted of 28 properties: 25 facilities which we own are leased to eight tenants and the remaining assets are in the form of first mortgage loans to two operators. Our owned facilities consisted of 12 general acute care hospitals, 9 long-term acute care hospitals, and 4 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. The non-owned facilities on which we have made mortgage loans consist of general acute care facilities. In March 2008, we agreed to purchase 20 properties from a single seller and completed the acquisition of 17 of these facilities in April 2008 and we expect to complete the acquisition of the remaining three facilities in May 2008. When completed, these 20 facilities will represent an investment of approximately $357.2 million. In May 2008, we also completed the sale of three rehabilitation facilities to Vibra Healthcare (Vibra) and realized total proceeds from the sale and related lease termination fees and loan pre-payment totaling $107.0 million. In March 2008, we entered into an agreement to purchase from an unrelated seller for approximately $12.0 million a long term acute care hospital and lease the hospital to Vibra pursuant to a long term net lease agreement.

We have 26 employees as of May 1, 2008. We believe that any adjustments to the number of our employees will have only immaterial effects on our operations and general and administrative expenses. We believe that our relations with our employees are good. None of our employees are members of any union.

Key Factors that May Affect Our Operations

Our revenues are derived from rents we earn pursuant to the lease agreements with our tenants and from interest income from loans to our tenants and other facility owners. Our tenants operate in the healthcare industry, generally providing medical, surgical and rehabilitative care to patients. The capacity of our tenants to pay our rents and interest is dependent upon their ability to conduct their operations at profitable levels. We believe that the business environment of the industry segments in which our tenants operate is generally positive for efficient operators. However, our tenants’ operations are subject to economic, regulatory and market conditions that may affect their profitability. Accordingly, we monitor certain key factors, changes to which we believe may provide early indications of conditions that may affect the level of risk in our lease and loan portfolio.

Key factors that we consider in underwriting prospective tenants and borrowers and in monitoring the performance of existing tenants and borrowers include the following:

• the historical and prospective operating margins (measured by a tenant’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and facility rent) of each tenant or borrower and at each facility;

• the ratio of our tenants’ and borrowers’ operating earnings both to facility rent and to facility rent plus other fixed costs, including debt costs;

• trends in the source of our tenants’ or borrowers’ revenue, including the relative mix of Medicare, Medicaid/MediCal, managed care, commercial insurance, and private pay patients; and

• the effect of evolving healthcare regulations on our tenants’ and borrowers’ profitability.

Certain business factors, in addition to those described above that directly affect our tenants and borrowers, will likely materially influence our future results of operations. These factors include:

• trends in the cost and availability of capital, including market interest rates, that our prospective tenants may use for their real estate assets instead of financing their real estate assets through lease structures;

• unforeseen changes in healthcare regulations that may limit the opportunities for physicians to participate in the ownership of healthcare providers and healthcare real estate;

• reductions in reimbursements from Medicare, state healthcare programs, and commercial insurance providers that may reduce our tenants’ profitability and our lease rates;

• competition from other financing sources; and

• the ability of our tenants and borrowers to access funds in the credit markets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we must make estimates about certain types of transactions and account balances. We believe that our estimates of the amount and timing of lease revenues, credit losses, fair values and periodic depreciation of our real estate assets, stock compensation expense, and the effects of any derivative and hedging activities will have significant effects on our financial statements. Each of these items involves estimates that require us to make subjective judgments. We rely on our experience, collect historical data and current market data, and

develop relevant assumptions to arrive at what we believe to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment on the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Our accounting estimates include the following:

Revenue Recognition. Our revenues, which are comprised largely of rental income, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Since some of our leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires us to record as an asset, and include in revenues, straight-line rent that we will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the term of the lease.

Accordingly, our management determines, in its judgment, to what extent the straight-line rent receivable applicable to each specific tenant is collectible. We review each tenant’s straight-line rent receivable on a quarterly basis and take into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates, and economic conditions in the area in which the facility is located. In the event that the collectibility of straight-line rent with respect to any given tenant is in doubt, we are required to record an increase in our allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the specific rent receivable, which would have an adverse effect on our net income for the period in which the reserve is increased or the direct write-off is recorded and would decrease our total assets and stockholders’ equity. At that time, we stop accruing additional straight-line rent income.

Our development projects normally allow for us to earn what we term “construction period rent”. Construction period rent accrues to us during the construction period based on the funds which we invest in the facility. During the construction period, the unfinished facility does not generate any earnings for the lessee/operator which can be used to pay us for our funds used to build the facility. In such cases, the lessee/operator pays the accumulated construction period rent over the term of the lease beginning when the lessee/operator takes physical possession of the facility. We record the accrued construction period rent as deferred revenue during the construction period, and recognize earned revenue as the construction period rent is paid to us by the lessee/operator. We make loans to our tenants and from time to time may make construction or mortgage loans to facility owners or other parties. We recognize interest income on loans as earned based upon the principal amount outstanding. These loans are generally secured by interests in real estate, receivables, the equity interests of a tenant, or corporate and individual guarantees and are usually cross-defaulted with their leases and/or other loans. As with straight-line rent receivables, our management must also periodically evaluate loans to determine what amounts may not be collectible. Accordingly, a provision for losses on loans receivable is recorded when it becomes probable that the loan will not be collected in full. The provision is an amount which reduces the loan to its estimated net receivable value based on a determination of the eventual amounts to be collected either from the debtor or from the collateral, if any. At that time, we discontinue recording interest income on the loan to the tenant.

Investments in Real Estate. We record investments in real estate at cost, and we capitalize improvements and replacements when they extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset. While our tenants are generally responsible for all operating costs at a facility, to the extent that we incur costs of repairs and maintenance, we expense those costs as incurred. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 40 years for buildings and improvements, three to seven years for equipment and fixtures, and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our facilities for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation expense to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate improvements. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because, if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate improvements, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis.

We have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 requires that the operations related to facilities that have been sold, or that we intend to sell, be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and facilities we intend to sell be designated as “held for sale” on our balance sheet.

When circumstances such as adverse market conditions indicate a possible impairment of the value of a facility, we review the recoverability of the facility’s carrying value. The review of recoverability is based on our estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, from the facility’s use and eventual disposition. Our forecast of these cash flows considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends, and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a facility, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the facility. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our investments in real estate.

Purchase Price Allocation. We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values, if any, for the facilities we own which are based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. We amortize any resulting capitalized above-market lease values as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. We amortize any resulting capitalized below-market lease values as an increase to rental income over the initial term and any fixed-rate renewal periods in the respective leases. Because our strategy to a large degree involves the origination of long term lease arrangements at market rates at the same time we acquire the property, we do not expect the above-market and below-market in-place lease values to be significant for many of our anticipated transactions.

We measure the aggregate value of other intangible assets to be acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if vacant. Management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. We also consider information obtained about each targeted facility as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing, and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management also includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which we expect to range primarily from three to 18 months, depending on specific local market conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal costs, and other related expenses to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.

The total amount of other intangible assets to be acquired, if any, is further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each prospective tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that tenant. Characteristics to be considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement, among other factors.

We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the initial term of the respective leases, which range primarily from 10 to 15 years. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event will the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles would be charged to expense.

Loans and Losses from Rent Receivables and Loans. We record provisions for losses on rent receivables and loans when it becomes probable that the receivable or loan will not be collected in full. The provision is an amount which reduces the rent or loan to its estimated net realizable value based on a determination of the eventual amounts to be collected either from the debtor or from the collateral, if any. The determination of when to record a provision for loss on loans and rent requires us to estimate amounts to be recovered from collateral, the ability of the tenant and/or borrower to repay, and the ability of the tenant and/or borrower to improve its operations.

Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities. We account for our derivative and hedging activities, if any, using SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 149, which requires all derivative instruments to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet.

Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. We review quarterly the effectiveness of each hedging transaction, which involves estimating future cash flows. Cash flow hedges, if any, will be accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. Amounts are reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, which affect the Company primarily in the form of interest rate risk or variability of interest rates, are considered fair value hedges under SFAS No. 133. We are not currently a party to any derivatives contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

In 2006, we entered into derivative contracts as part of our offering of Exchangeable Senior Notes (the “exchangeable notes”). The contracts are generally termed “capped call” or “call spread” contracts. These contracts are financial instruments which are separate from the exchangeable notes themselves, but affect the overall potential number of shares which will be issued by us to satisfy the conversion feature in the exchangeable notes. The exchangeable notes can be exchanged into shares of our common stock when our stock price exceeds $16.50 per share, which is the equivalent of 60.6080 shares per $1,000 note. The number of shares actually issued upon conversion will be equivalent to the amount by which our stock price exceeds $16.50 times the 60.4583 conversion rate. The “capped call” transaction allows us to effectively increase that exchange price from $16.50 to $18.94. Therefore, our shareholders will not experience dilution of their shares from any settlement or conversion of the exchangeable notes until the price of our stock exceeds $18.94 per share rather than $16.50 per share. When evaluating this transaction, we have followed the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock. EITF No. 00-19 requires that contracts such as this “capped call” which meet certain conditions must be accounted for as permanent adjustments to equity rather than periodically adjusted to their fair value as assets or liabilities. We have evaluated the terms of these contracts and recorded this “capped call” as a permanent adjustment to stockholders’ equity in 2006. When we sold $82.0 million face value of Exchangeable Senior Notes in March and April, 2008, we did not elect to purchase any similar call spread contracts.

The exchangeable notes which we sold in 2006 and 2008 themselves also contain the conversion feature described above. SFAS No. 133 also states that certain “embedded” derivative contracts must follow the guidance of EITF No. 00-19 and be evaluated as though they also were a “freestanding” derivative contract. Embedded derivative contracts such as the conversion feature in the notes should not be treated as a financial instrument separate from the note if it meets certain conditions in EITF No. 00-19. We have evaluated the conversion feature in the exchangeable notes and have determined that it should not be reported separately from the debt. However, the FASB is considering a new pronouncement which would require us to allocate some of the proceeds from the conversion feature to equity. While this new pronouncement would not require accounting for the embedded conversion feature as a derivative contract, it would require us to restate previously issued financial statements in future filings. The restatement would result in an increase to stockholders’ equity, a decrease to debt, and a decrease to net income. We are currently evaluating this proposed FASB pronouncement to determine the amounts of any changes to our financial statements.

Variable Interest Entities. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FIN 46, which is termed FIN 46(R). FIN 46(R) clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, and provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights, guidance on how to determine which business enterprise should consolidate such an entity, and guidance on when it should do so. This model for consolidation applies to an entity in which either (1) the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. An entity meeting either of these two criteria is a variable interest entity, or VIE. A VIE must be consolidated by any entity which is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If an entity is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the VIE is not consolidated. We periodically evaluate the terms of our relationships with our tenants and borrowers to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary and would therefore be required to consolidate any tenants or borrowers that are VIEs.

Stock-Based Compensation. Prior to 2006, we used the intrinsic value method to account for the issuance of stock options under our equity incentive plan in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123(R) became effective for our annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2006, but had no material effect on the results of our

operations. During the three month period ended March 31, 2008, we recorded approximately $1.9 million of expense for share-based compensation related to grants of restricted common stock, deferred stock units and other stock-based awards. In 2006, we also granted performance-based restricted share awards. Because these awards will vest based on the Company’s performance, we must evaluate and estimate the probability of achieving those performance targets. Any changes in these estimates and probabilities must be recorded in the period when they are changed. In 2007, the Compensation Committee made awards which are earned only if the Company achieves certain stock price levels, total shareholder return or other market conditions. Beginning in 2007, we began recording expense over the expected or derived vesting periods using the calculated value of the awards. We must record expense over these vesting periods even though the awards have not yet been earned and, in fact, may never be earned. In some cases, if the award is not earned, we will be required to reverse expenses recognized in earlier periods. As a result, future stock-based compensation expense may fluctuate based on the potential reversal of previously recorded expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In the first quarter of 2008, we sold 12.65 million shares of common stock and $75 million face amount of exchangeable notes, realizing net proceeds of approximately $128.7 million and $72.8 million, respectively. In addition, we sold $7.0 million face amount of exchangeable notes in April 2008, realizing net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million. As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $147.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $180.1 million available for borrowing under our credit facilities. During the second quarter of 2008, we expect to complete acquisitions pursuant to binding agreements outstanding as of March 31, 2008 aggregating approximately $370 million, using our cash and credit facility borrowings. In addition, in May 2008, we sold three hospital facilities to Vibra Healthcare and received sales and other proceeds of approximately $107 million in cash.

Short-term Liquidity Requirements: We believe that the liquidity available to us mentioned above is sufficient to provide the resources necessary for operations, distributions in compliance with REIT requirements and a limited amount of acquisitions in the near term. In the event that we elect to make more than a limited amount of acquisitions in the near term, we will need to access additional capital. Based on current conditions in the capital markets, we believe that while such capital may be available, there is no assurance that we could obtain acquisition capital at prices that we consider acceptable.

Long-term Liquidity Requirements: We believe that cash flow from operating activities subsequent to 2008 will be sufficient to provide adequate working capital and make required distributions to our stockholders in compliance with our requirements as a REIT. However, in order to continue acquisition and development of healthcare facilities after 2008, we will require access to more permanent external capital, including equity capital. If equity capital is not available at a price that we consider appropriate, we may increase our debt, selectively dispose of assets, utilize other forms of capital, if available, or reduce our acquisition activity.

Results of Operations

Three months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $11,233,782 compared to net income of $10,203,952 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a 10% increase. This difference, as more fully described below, is primarily the result of incremental rent and interest revenue with respect to investments we made since January 1, 2007, offset by depreciation of such investments, and interest on borrowings used to make such investments.

A comparison of revenues for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, is as follows, as adjusted in 2007 for discontinued operations:

																		Year over
						% of								% of				Year
		2008				Total				2007				Total				Change
Base rents		$	14,918,539				63.8	%		$	8,885,685				60.3	%			67.9	%
Straight-line rents			1,659,784				7.1	%			352,677				2.4	%			370.6	%
Percentage rents			124,869				0.5	%			74,167				0.5	%			68.4	%
Fee income			125,756				0.5	%			69,099				0.5	%			82.0	%
Interest from loans			6,584,285				28.1	%			5,351,824				36.3	%			23.0	%
Total revenue		$	23,413,233				100.0	%		$	14,733,452				100.0	%			58.9	%

Revenue of $23,413,233 in the three months ended March 31, 2008, was comprised of rents (71.4%) and interest from loans and fee income (28.6%). At March 31, 2008, we owned 25 rent producing properties compared to 20 as of January 1, 2007, which accounted for the increase in revenues. Vibra accounted for 15.2% and 22.6% of total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and affiliates of Prime accounted for 37.2% and 24.0% of total revenue, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization during the first quarter of 2008 was $3,527,595, compared to $1,972,905 during the first quarter of 2007, a 78.8% increase. All of this increase is related to an increase in the number of rent producing properties from January 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008. We expect to complete additional acquisitions of approximately $370 million during the second quarter of 2008, and accordingly, rental revenues and depreciation expense will increase commensurately.

General and administrative expenses were relatively flat compared to the same period in 2007, decreasing approximately $200,000, or 4.3%, from $4,614,119 to $4,414,136.

Interest expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 totaled $7.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Capitalized interest for the respective quarters, totaled $0 and $967,303, respectively. The increase in interest expense was the result of higher debt balances and the absence of any capitalized interest in 2008, partially offset by lower borrowing rates.

Discontinued Operations

In the first quarter of 2008, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the real estate assets of three inpatient rehabilitation facilities to Vibra Healthcare, LLC for total cash proceeds of $107 million. The sale was completed on May 7, 2008, with the Company realizing a gain on the sale of approximately $9.4 million. In connection with the sale, the Company was paid $7.0 million as early lease termination fees and a loan prepayment of $10.0 million. The Company also wrote off approximately $9.4 million in related straight-line rent upon completion of the sales. At March 31, 2008, the three Vibra properties are classified as as held for sale and are reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at $80.8 million and $81.4 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Investors and analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations, or FFO, as a supplemental performance measure. While we believe net income available to common stockholders, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), is the most appropriate measure, our management considers FFO an appropriate supplemental measure given its wide use by and relevance to investors and analysts. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate asset values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time.

As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) on sales of real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition. FFO should not be viewed as a substitute measure of the Company’s operating performance since it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs that could materially impact our results of operations.

The following table presents a reconciliation of FFO to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

		For the Three Months Ended

Distribution Policy

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with our taxable year that began on April 6, 2004 and ended on December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain, to our stockholders.

The table below is a summary of our distributions paid or declared during the two year period ended March 31, 2008:

Declaration Date		Record Date		Date of Distribution		Distribution per Share
February 28, 2008		March 13, 2008		April 11, 2008		$	.27
November 16, 2007		December 13, 2007		January 11, 2008		$	.27
August 16, 2007		September 14, 2007		October 19, 2007		$	.27
May 17, 2007		June 14, 2007		July 12, 2007		$	.27
February 15, 2007		March 29, 2007		April 12, 2007		$	.27
November 16, 2006		December 14, 2006		January 11, 2007		$	.27
August 18, 2006		September 14, 2006		October 12, 2006		$	.26
May 18, 2006		June 15, 2006		July 13, 2006		$	.25
February 16, 2006		March 15, 2006		April 12, 2006		$	.21

We intend to pay to our stockholders, within the time periods prescribed by the Code, all or substantially all of our annual taxable income, including taxable gains from the sale of real estate and recognized gains on the sale of securities. It is our policy to make sufficient cash distributions to stockholders in order for us to maintain our status as a REIT under the Code and to avoid corporate income and excise tax on undistributed income.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.

In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our facilities will be subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the ability of our tenants to generate profits, all of which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary. The changes in the value of our facilities would be reflected also by changes in “cap” rates, which is measured by the current base rent divided by the current market value of a facility.

If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increase by 1%, the increase in annual interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $816,000 per year. If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt decrease by 1%, the decrease in interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $816,000 per year. This assumes that the amount outstanding under our variable rate debt remains approximately $81.6 million, the balance at April 1, 2008.

We currently have no assets denominated in a foreign currency, nor do we have any assets located outside of the United States. We also have no exposure to derivative financial instruments.

Our 2006 exchangeable notes were initially exchangeable into 60.3346 shares of our stock for each $1,000 note. This equates to a conversion price of $16.57 per share. This conversion price adjusts based on a formula which considers increases to our dividend subsequent to the issuance of the notes in November 2006. Our dividends declared since we sold the exchangeable notes have adjusted our conversion price as of March 31, 2008, to $16.50 per share which equates to 60.6080 shares per $1,000 note. Future changes to the conversion price will depend on our level of dividends which cannot be predicted at this time. Any adjustments for dividend increases until the notes are settled in 2011 will affect the price of the notes and the number of shares for which they will eventually be settled. Our 2008 exchangeable notes have a similar conversion adjustment feature which could effect its stated exchange ratio of 80.8898 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equating to an exchange price of approximately $12.36 per common share. However, no dividends have been declared since the date of the sale of those notes in March, 2008.

At the time we issued the 2006 exchangeable notes, we also entered into a capped call or call spread transaction. The effect of this transaction was to increase the conversion price from $16.57 to $18.94. As a result, our shareholders will not experience any dilution until our share price exceeds $18.94. If our share price exceeds that price, the result would be that we would issue additional shares of common stock upon exchange. At a price of $20 per share, we would be required to issue an additional 434,000 shares. At $25 per share, we would be required to issue an additional two million shares.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files with the SEC.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Not applicable.

Item 1.A. Risk Factors

Other than set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended) for the year ended December 31, 2007 as filed with the Commission on March 14, 2008.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND GROWTH STRATEGY

We incurred additional debt in order to consummate our recent acquisition of a healthcare property portfolio which will expose us to increased risk of property losses and may have adverse consequences on our business operations and our ability to make distributions to stockholders.

We incurred additional debt in order to consummate our recent acquisition of a healthcare property portfolio, including $82.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Operating Partnership’s exchangeable senior notes due 2013 and we borrowed under our credit facilities in order to fund a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition. As of March 31, 2008, we had total outstanding indebtedness of approximately $415.4 million and $180.1 million available to us for borrowing under our existing revolving credit facilities.

Our substantial indebtedness could have significant effects on our business. For example, it could:

		require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, which would reduce the available cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, development projects and other general corporate purposes and reduce cash for distributions;
		require payments of principal and interest that may be greater than our cash flow from operations;
		force us to dispose of one or more of our properties, possibly on disadvantageous terms, to make payments on our debt;
		increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
		limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
		restrict us from making strategic acquisitions or exploiting other business opportunities;
		make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations;
		place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and
		limit our ability to borrow additional funds or dispose of assets.

In addition, our borrowings under our loan facilities will bear interest at variable rates, in addition to the approximately $81.6 million in variable interest rate debt that we had outstanding as of March 31, 2008. If interest rates were to increase significantly, our ability to borrow additional funds may be reduced and the risk related to our substantial indebtedness would intensify.

We may not be able to refinance or extend our existing debt as our access to capital is affected by prevailing conditions in the financial and capital markets and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. If we cannot repay, refinance or extend our debt at maturity, in addition to our failure to repay our debt, we may be unable to make distributions to our stockholders at expected levels or at all.

In addition, if we are unable to restructure or refinance our obligations, we may default under our obligations. This could trigger cross-default and cross-acceleration rights under then-existing agreements. If we default on our debt obligations, the lenders may foreclose on our properties that secure those loans and any other loan that has cross-default provisions.

Even if we are able to refinance or extend our existing debt, the terms of any refinancing or extension may not be as favorable as the terms of our existing debt. If the refinancing involves a higher interest rate, it could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to stockholders.

We may be subject to additional risks arising from our recent acquisition of a healthcare property portfolio.

In addition to the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended) for the year ended December 31, 2007 relating to healthcare facilities that we may purchase from time to time, we are also subject to additional risks in connection with our recent acquisition of a healthcare property portfolio, including without limitation the following:

		we have no previous business experience with the tenants at the facilities acquired, and we may face difficulties in the integration of them;
		underperformance of the acquired facilities due to various factors, including unfavorable terms and conditions of the existing lease agreements relating to the facilities, disruptions caused by the integration of tenants with us or changes in economic conditions;
		diversion of our management’s attention away from other business concerns;
		exposure to any undisclosed or unknown potential liabilities relating to the newly acquired facilities; and
		potential underinsured losses on the newly acquired facilities.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to integrate new portfolio of properties without encountering difficulties or that any such difficulties will not have a material adverse effect on us.

In addition, some of the properties may be acquired through our acquisition of all of the ownership interests of the entity that owns such property. Such an acquisition at the entity level rather than the asset level may expose us to any additional risks and liabilities associated with the acquired entity.
