OMEGA HEALTHCARE INVESTORS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unaudited
June 30, 2010

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Overview

Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega” or the “Company”) has one reportable segment consisting of investments in healthcare related real estate properties.  Our core business is to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) located in the United States.  Our core portfolio consists of long-term leases and mortgage agreements.  All of our leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property-related expenses.  Our mortgage revenue derives from fixed-rate mortgage loans, which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and personal property of the mortgagor.

On July 7, 2008, we took ownership and/or possession of 15 facilities through bankruptcy court proceedings which were previously operated by Haven Eldercare (Haven).  Prior to July 7, 2008, we had (i) leased eight facilities to Haven under a master lease agreement and (ii) provided mortgage financing to a Haven entity for seven facilities that we had previously consolidated according to accounting rules regarding variable interest entities then in place.  As a result of the bankruptcy court judgment, the bankruptcy court retired the mortgage on the seven facilities in exchange for ownership of the facilities and awarded us certain other operational assets of Haven as well.  Accordingly, effective July 7, 2008, we were no longer required to consolidate the Haven entity for which we had provided the mortgage because all of the assets of the Haven entity were transferred to us and we no longer had a variable interest in the Haven entity.  In addition to receiving title to the seven facilities and certain other operational assets, on July 7, 2008, we assumed operating responsibility for the 15 Haven facilities.  In July 2008, a new entity (TC Healthcare) was formed to operate these properties on our behalf through the use of an independent contractor.  TC Healthcare’s managing member and sole voting member, an individual with experience in operating these types of facilities, has no equity investment at risk and is unrelated to Omega.  Omega and TC Healthcare entered into an agreement that requires Omega to provide the working capital requirements for TC Healthcare and to absorb the operating losses of TC Healthcare.  The agreement also provides Omega with the right to receive the economic benefits of the entity.  TC Healthcare is a variable interest entity as the entity does not have sufficient equity investment at risk to support its operations without subordinated financial support.  Additionally, Omega has the power to direct the activities as Omega has the unilateral right to replace the shareholder.  Omega is deemed the primary beneficiary of TC Healthcare as Omega has the controlling economic interest in the entity and therefore, consolidated the operations of TC Healthcare.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Omega have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements.  In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  We have evaluated all subsequent events through the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 
-6-

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Omega, all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Omega, and TC Healthcare, an entity and interim operator created to operate the 15 facilities we assumed as a result of the bankruptcy of one of our former tenants/operators.  We consolidate the financial results of TC Healthcare into our financial statements based on the applicable consolidation accounting literature.  We include the operating results and assets and liabilities of these facilities for the period of time that TC Healthcare was responsible for the operations of the facilities.  Thirteen of these facilities were transitioned from TC Healthcare to a new tenant/operator on September 1, 2008.  The two remaining facilities were transitioned to the new tenant/operator on June 1, 2010 upon approval by state regulators of the operating license transfer and as of such date, TC Healthcare no longer operates these facilities.  The operating revenues and expenses and related operating assets and liabilities of the two facilities through May 31, 2010 are shown on a gross basis in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.  TC Healthcare is responsible for the collection of the accounts receivable earned and the liabilities incurred prior to the date of the transition to the new tenant/operator.  All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation of the financial statements.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable includes: contractual receivables, straight-line rent receivables and lease inducements, net of an estimated provision for losses related to uncollectible and disputed accounts.  Contractual receivables relates to the rents currently owed to us under the terms of the lease agreement.  Straight-line receivables relates to the difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and the amounts due to us contractually.  Lease inducements result from value provided by us to the lessee of the lease and will be amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term.  On a quarterly basis, we review the collection of our contractual payments and determine the appropriateness of our allowance for uncollectible contractual rents.  In the case of a lease recognized on a straight-line basis, we generally provide an allowance for straight-line accounts receivable when certain conditions or indicators of adverse collectability are present.

A summary of our net receivables by type is as follows:

   
June 30,
2010
   
December 31, 2009
 
   
(in thousands)
 
             
Contractual receivables
  $ 4,887     $ 2,818  
Straight-line receivables
    56,273       52,395  
Lease inducements
    29,256       29,020  
Allowance
    (3,280 )     (2,675 )
Accounts receivable net 
  $ 87,136     $ 81,558  

We continuously evaluate the payment history and financial strength of our operators and have historically established allowance reserves for straight-line rent adjustments for operators that do not meet our requirements.  We consider factors such as payment history, the operator’s financial condition as well as current and future anticipated operating trends when evaluating whether to establish allowance reserves.

Accounts receivable from owned and operated assets consist of amounts due from Medicare and Medicaid programs, other government programs, managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies and individual patients. Amounts recorded include estimated provisions for loss related to uncollectible accounts and disputed items.  For additional information, see Note 3 – Owned and Operated Assets.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. This guidance specifies that a reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number) related to Level 3 fair value measurements as part of a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances. The guidance further clarifies the disclosure regarding the level of disaggregation and input and valuation techniques.  The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2010, the FASB issued guidance on subsequent events. This guidance provides a definition for SEC filers and eliminates the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance to significantly amend the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The consolidation model was modified to one based on control and economics, and replaces the current quantitative primary beneficiary analysis with a qualitative analysis. The primary beneficiary of a VIE will be the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE and adds an additional reconsideration event for determination of whether an entity is a VIE. The amendments also require expanded disclosures related to VIEs which are largely consistent with the disclosure framework currently applied by us. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2010 for us. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 2 –PROPERTIES AND INVESTMENTS

In the ordinary course of our business activities, we periodically evaluate investment opportunities and extend credit to customers.  We also regularly engage in lease and loan extensions and modifications. Additionally, we actively monitor and manage our investment portfolio with the objectives of improving credit quality and increasing investment returns.  In connection with our portfolio management, we may engage in various collection and foreclosure activities.

If we acquire real estate pursuant to a foreclosure or bankruptcy proceeding, the assets will initially be included on the consolidated balance sheet at the lower of cost or estimated fair value (see Note 3 Owned and Operated Assets).

Leased Property

Our leased real estate properties, represented by 370 SNFs, 10 assisted living facilities (“ALFs”) and five specialty facilities at June 30, 2010, are leased under provisions of single leases and master leases with initial terms typically ranging from 5 to 15 years, plus renewal options.  Substantially all of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and are generally computed in one of three methods depending on specific provisions of each lease as follows: (i) a specific annual percentage increase over the prior year’s rent, generally 2.5%; (ii) an increase based on the change in pre-determined formulas from year to year (i.e., such as increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”)); or (iii) specific dollar increases over prior years.  Under the terms of the leases, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties.

143 Facility CapitalSource Acquisitions

In November 2009, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “CapitalSource Purchase Agreement”) with CapitalSource Inc. (NYSE: CSE) (“CapitalSource”) and several of its affiliates, pursuant to which we agreed to purchase CapitalSource subsidiaries owning 80 long term care facilities, plus an option to purchase CapitalSource subsidiaries owning an additional 63 facilities (the “Option”), for approximately $565 million.  The purchase price for the CapitalSource subsidiaries subject to the Option was approximately $295 million.

Completed First Closing

On December 22, 2009, we purchased CapitalSource entities owning 40 facilities and an Option  to purchase CapitalSource entities owning 63 additional facilities for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $294.1 million.  The consideration consisted of: (i) approximately $184.2 million in cash; (ii) 2,714,959 shares of Omega common stock and (iii) the assumption of approximately $59.4 million of 6.8% mortgage debt maturing on December 31, 2011.  We incurred approximately $1.8 million in transaction costs, of which $1.6 million was recognized during 2009.  We valued the 2,714,959 shares of our common stock at approximately $52.8 million on December 22, 2009.

The 40 facilities represent 5,264 available beds located in 12 states, and are part of 15 in-place triple net leases among 12 operators.   The 12 leases generate approximately $31 million of annualized revenue.

We are in the process of gathering the information necessary to complete the purchase price allocation of the December 22, 2009 acquisition.  Based on our preliminary allocation we have allocated approximately $275 million to land, building and furniture and fixtures and approximately $4 million in net below market value in-place leases.  The market value of the debt assumed approximated face value.  We have not recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.

Completed HUD Portfolio Closing

On June 29, 2010, we purchased CapitalSource entities owning 40 facilities for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $271 million.   We also paid consideration of approximately $15 million for escrow accounts transferred to us at closing.  The 40 facilities are encumbered by approximately $182 million in long-term mortgage financing guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and $20 million in subordinated notes.  The following summarizes the consideration paid at closing:

·  
$65 million in cash,

·  
$202 million face value of assumed debt, which includes $20 million of 9.0% unsecured debt maturing in December 2021, $53 million of HUD debt at a 6.61% weighted average annual interest rate maturing between January 2036 and May 2040, and $129 million of new HUD Debt at a 4.85% annual interest rate maturing in 2040 between January 2040 and January 2045, and

·  
995 thousand shares of our common stock valued at approximately $19 million on June 29, 2010.

The 40 facilities represent 4,882 available beds located in two states, and are part of 13 in-place triple net leases among two operators.  The 13 leases generate approximately $30 million of annualized revenue.

 
-9-

We are in the process of gathering the information necessary to complete the purchase price allocation of the June 29, 2010 acquisition.  Based on our preliminary allocation, we have allocated approximately $309 million to land, building and furniture and fixtures on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and approximately $15 million in net below market value in-place leases.  In addition, we recorded approximately $23 million of fair value adjustment related to the assumed debt for above market debt assumed based on the terms of comparable debt.  We have not recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.

Completed Option Exercise

 
On April 20, 2010, we provided notice of our intent to exercise our Option to acquire CapitalSource entities owning 63 facilities.  On June 9, 2010, we completed our purchase of the 63 CapitalSource facilities for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $293 million in cash.   We used a combination of cash and borrowings of under our $320 million revolving senior secured credit facility to fund the acquisition.
 
 
The 63 facilities represent 6,607 available beds located in 19 states, and are part of 30 in-place triple net leases among 18 operators. The 30 leases generate approximately $33 million of annualized revenue.
 
We are in the process of gathering the information necessary to complete the purchase price allocation of the June 9, 2010 acquisition.  Based on our preliminary allocation, we have allocated approximately $333 million to land, building and furniture and fixtures on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and approximately $15 million in net below market value in-place leases.  We have not recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.

We incurred approximately $1.2 million in transaction costs associated with the HUD portfolio and Option portfolio closings.

The facilities acquired from CapitalSource on December 22, 2009, June 9, 2010 and June 29, 2010 are included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition.  The following unaudited pro forma results of operation reflect each of the CapitalSource transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2009.  In the opinion of management, all significant necessary adjustments to reflect the effect of the acquisition have been made.  The following pro forma information is not indicative of future operations.

Purchase of Mortgage Backed Certificate Securities

In March 2010, we purchased, in the open market, two series of mortgage backed certificates with a face value of $14 million for approximately $12.9 million.  The securities yield, including the amortization of the discount, is approximately 10% annually.  The certificates were part of a $250 million trust that was secured by 65 SNFs owned by CapitalSource, 63 of which we acquired on June 9, 2010 as part of the Option closing.  On June 21, 2010, we sold these mortgage back certificates for approximately $14.0 million, generating a gain of approximately $0.8 million which is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

Mortgage Notes Receivable

Our mortgage notes receivable relate to 10 long-term care facilities.  The mortgage notes are secured by first mortgage liens on the borrowers' underlying real estate and personal property.  The mortgage notes receivable relate to facilities located in three (3) states, operated by two (2) independent healthcare operating companies.  We monitor compliance with mortgages and when necessary have initiated collection, foreclosure and other proceedings with respect to certain outstanding loans.  As of June 30, 2010, none of our mortgages were in default or in foreclosure proceedings.  The mortgage properties are cross-collateralized with the master lease agreement.

In late 2009, we began discussion with a mortgagee regarding final payment of the $12.4 million balance due on a mortgage that relates to four facilities and that matured February 28, 2010.  The mortgagee was current on all interest and other obligations.  Through these discussions, we determined that the mortgagee was not likely to raise the capital necessary to repay the mortgage.  We evaluated the mortgage for impairment due to the mortgagee’s likely inability to repay the amount due.  Our evaluation indicated that although the loan was impaired, no impairment reserve was required because the collateral supporting the loan exceeds the net mortgage balance due to us.  In February 2010, the mortgagee surrendered ownership of the properties to us in exchange for the payment of the mortgage note due.  We have leased these facilities to an existing operator.

Mortgage interest income is recognized as earned over the terms of the related mortgage notes.  Allowances are provided against earned revenues from mortgage interest when collection of amounts due becomes questionable or when negotiations for restructurings of troubled operators lead to lower expectations regarding ultimate collection.  When collection is uncertain, mortgage interest income on impaired mortgage loans is recognized as received after taking into account application of security deposits.

NOTE 3 – OWNED AND OPERATED ASSETS

On June 1, 2010, the remaining two owned and operated facilities were transitioned to a third party operator/tenant and are now part of a master lease agreement with Formation.  As a result of the transition to Formation, we no longer operate any facilities, effective June 1, 2010.

Since November 2007, affiliates of Haven Healthcare (“Haven”), one of our operators/lessees/mortgagors, operated under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.  Commencing in February 2008, the assets of the Haven facilities were marketed for sale via an auction process to be conducted through proceedings established by the bankruptcy court.  The auction process failed to produce a qualified buyer.  As a result, and pursuant to our rights as ordered by the bankruptcy court, Haven moved the bankruptcy court to authorize us to credit bid certain of the indebtedness that it owed to us in exchange for taking ownership of and transitioning certain of its assets to a new entity in which we have a substantial ownership interest, all of which was approved by the bankruptcy court on July 4, 2008.  Effective July 7, 2008, we took ownership and/or possession of 15 facilities previously operated by Haven.  TC Healthcare, a new entity and an interim operator, in which we have a substantial economic interest, began operating these facilities on our behalf through an independent contractor.

On August 6, 2008, we entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (“MTA”) with affiliates of Formation whereby Formation agreed (subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of licensure) to lease 14 SNFs and one ALF facility under a master lease.  These facilities were formerly leased to Haven.

Effective September 1, 2008, we completed the operational transfer of 12 SNFs and one ALF to affiliates of Formation, in accordance with the terms of the MTA.  The 13 facilities are located in Connecticut (5), Rhode Island (4), New Hampshire (3) and Massachusetts (1).  As part of the transaction, Genesis Healthcare (“Genesis”) has entered into a long-term management agreement with Formation to oversee the day-to-day operations of each of these facilities. The two remaining facilities in Vermont, which were operated by TC Healthcare until May 31, 2010, have been transferred to Formation/Genesis.  Our consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Vermont facilities from July 7, 2008 to May 31, 2010.  As of June 30, 2010, our gross investment in land and buildings for the two properties was approximately $15.1 million.

NOTE 4 – CONCENTRATION OF RISK

As of June 30, 2010, our portfolio of real estate investments consisted of 398 healthcare facilities, located in 34 states and operated by 46 third-party operators.  Our gross investment in these facilities, net of impairments and before reserve for uncollectible loans, totaled approximately $2.4 billion at June 30, 2010, with approximately 99% of our real estate investments related to long-term care facilities.  This portfolio is made up of 370 SNFs, 10 ALFs, five specialty facilities, fixed rate mortgages on 10 SNFs, and three SNFs that are currently held for sale.  At June 30, 2010, we also held miscellaneous investments of approximately $33.4 million, consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our facilities.

At June 30, 2010, approximately 15% of our real estate investments were leased to and operated by two public companies: Sun Healthcare Group, Inc (“Sun”) (9%) and Advocat Inc. (“Advocat”) (6%).  Our largest private company operators (by investment) were CommuniCare Health Services (“CommuniCare”) (13%) and Airamid Health Management, LLC (“Airamid”) (11%).  No other operator represents more than 9% of our investments.  The three states in which we had our highest concentration of investments were Florida (24%), Ohio (14%) and Pennsylvania (7%) at June 30, 2010.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, our revenues from operations totaled $58.8 million, of which approximately $8.8 million were from CommuniCare (15%), $7.9 million from Sun (13%) and $5.4 million from Advocat (9%).  No other operator generated more than 9% of our revenues from operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, our revenues from operations totaled $117.5 million, of which approximately $17.6 million were from CommuniCare (15%), $15.7 million from Sun (13%) and $11.2 million from Advocat (10%).  No other operator generated more than 8% of our revenues from operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010.  Our owned and operated assets generated $7.3 million (6%) of revenue in June 30, 2010.

Sun and Advocat are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC and are required to file with the SEC annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited interim financial information.  Sun and Advocat’s filings with the SEC can be found at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.  We are providing this data for information purposes only, and you are encouraged to obtain Sun’s and Advocat’s publicly available filings from the SEC.

Common Dividends

On July 15, 2010, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.36 per share, increasing the quarterly common dividend by $0.04, or 12.5%, per share over the prior quarter.  The common dividends are to be paid August 16, 2010 to common stockholders of record on July 30, 2010.

On April 15, 2010, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.32 per share that was paid May 17, 2010 to common stockholders of record on April 30, 2010.

On January 20, 2010, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.32 per share, increasing the quarterly common dividend by $0.02 per share over the prior quarter.  The common dividends were paid on February 16, 2010 to common stockholders of record on January 29, 2010.

Series D Preferred Dividends
 
On July 15, 2010, the Board of Directors declared the regular quarterly dividends for our 8.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) to stockholders of record on July 30, 2010.  The stockholders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock on July 30, 2010 will be paid dividends in the amount of $0.52344 per preferred share on August 16, 2010.  The liquidation preference for our Series D Preferred Stock is $25.00 per share. Regular quarterly preferred dividends for the Series D Preferred Stock represent dividends for the period May 1, 2010 through July 30, 2010.
 
 
On April 15, 2010, the Board of Directors declared regular quarterly dividends of approximately $0.52344 per preferred share on the Series D Preferred Stock that were paid May 17, 2010 to preferred stockholders of record on April 30, 2010.
 
On January 20, 2010, the Board of Directors declared regular quarterly dividends of approximately $0.52344 per preferred share on the Series D Preferred Stock that were paid February 16, 2010 to preferred stockholders of record on January 29, 2010.

NOTE 6 – TAXES

So long as we qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on the REIT taxable income that we distribute to stockholders, subject to certain exceptions.  On a quarterly and annual basis, we test our compliance within the REIT taxation rules to ensure that we were in compliance with the rules.

Subject to the limitation under the REIT asset test rules, we are permitted to own up to 100% of the stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRSs”).  Currently, we have one TRS that is taxable as a corporation and that pays federal, state and local income tax on its net income at the applicable corporate rates.  The TRS had a net operating loss carry-forward as of June 30, 2010 of $1.1 million.  The loss carry-forward was fully reserved with a valuation allowance as we concluded it was more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax asset would not be realized.

2007 Stock Awards

In May 2007, we granted 286,908 shares of restricted stock and 247,992 performance restricted stock units (“PRSU”) to five executive officers under the 2004 Plan Stock Incentive Plan.

Restricted Stock Award

The restricted stock awards vest one-seventh on December 31, 2007 and two-sevenths on December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2010, respectively, subject to continued employment on the vesting date (as defined in the agreements filed with the SEC on May 8, 2007).  As of June 30, 2010, 204,935 shares of restricted stock have vested under the restricted stock award.

Performance Restricted Stock Units

We awarded two types of PRSUs (annual and cliff vesting awards) to the five executives.  One half of the PRSU awards vest annually in equal increments on December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2010, respectively.  The other half of the PRSU awards cliff vest on December 31, 2010.  Vesting on both types of awards requires achievement of total shareholder return (as defined in the agreements filed with the SEC on May 8, 2007).

On March 29, 2010, the Compensation Committee of Omega’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) determined that, based on the 26% Total Shareholder Return actually achieved for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 and in light of the challenging economic and capital market conditions that prevailed generally during 2009, it was appropriate to waive the vesting requirement solely with respect to the PRSUs that would have vested on December 31, 2009 had a cumulative, annualized Total Shareholder Return of 11% been achieved.  As a result of the modification to the 2009 PRSUs, we recorded approximately $0.4 million of additional expense which was recorded during the first quarter of 2010 and accrued dividends of approximately $0.1 million related to this vesting.
 
Each PRSU represents the right to one share of common stock and dividend equivalents based on dividends paid to stockholders during the applicable performance period.  Shares attributable to vested PRSUs and dividend equivalents are distributable upon the earliest to occur of January 2, 2011, the event of the officer’s death or disability, or termination of the officer’s employment by the Company without cause or resignation by the officer for good reason.

Bank Credit Agreements

At June 30, 2010, we had $221.0 million outstanding under our new $320 million revolving senior secured credit facility (the “2010 Credit Facility”), and no letters of credit outstanding, leaving availability of $99.0 million.
 
On April 13, 2010, we entered into our 2010 Credit Facility and concurrently terminated our $200 million revolving senior secured credit facility (the “2009 Credit Facility”).  The 2010 Credit Facility matures in four years, on April 13, 2014; provided, we have refinanced or repaid our $310 million, 7% senior notes due April 2014 (the “2014 Notes”) prior to December 31, 2013.  In the event the 2014 Notes have not been refinanced or repaid on or prior to December 31, 2013, the maturity date of the 2010 Credit Facility will become December 31, 2013.  The 2010 Credit Facility includes an “accordion feature” that permits us to expand our borrowing capacity to $420 million during our first three years.  At March 31, 2010, deferred financing fees associated with the 2009 Credit Facility were $3.5 million.  These fees were written–off in April 2010.

The 2010 Credit Facility is priced at LIBOR plus an applicable percentage (ranging from 325 basis points to 425 basis points) based on the consolidated leverage and is not subject to a LIBOR floor.  Our applicable percentage above LIBOR is currently 350 basis points.
 
 
$59 million Mortgage Debt
 
In connection with the December 22, 2009 closing under the CapitalSource Purchase Agreement, we assumed $59.4 million of 6.8% mortgage debt maturing on December 31, 2011 with a one year extension right. The mortgage debt was secured by 12 facilities per the terms of the mortgage debt agreement.  On February 16, 2010, we used proceeds from the offering of our $200 million 7.5% Senior Notes due 2020 to repay the assumed mortgage debt.

$200 Million Senior Notes

On February 9, 2010, we issued and sold $200 million aggregate principal amount of 7.5% senior notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”).  The 2020 Notes mature on February 15, 2020 and pay interest semi-annually on August 15th and February 15th.

We may redeem the 2020 Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at redemption prices of 103.75%, 102.5% and 101.25% of the principal amount thereof if the redemption occurs during the respective 12-month periods beginning on February 15 of the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, and at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof on and after February 15, 2018, in each case, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.  In addition, until February 15, 2013 we may redeem up to 35% of the 2020 Notes with the net proceeds of one or more public equity offerings at a redemption price of 107.5% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes to be so redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.  If we undergo a change of control, we may be required to offer to purchase the notes from holders at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest.

 
The 2020 Notes were sold at an issue price of 98.278% of the principal amount, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $197 million.  We used the net proceeds from the sale of the 2020 Notes, after discounts and expenses, to (i) repay outstanding borrowings of approximately $59 million of debt assumed in connection with our December 22, 2009 CapitalSource acquisition, (ii) repay outstanding borrowings under our 2009 Credit Facility, and (iii) for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of healthcare-related properties such as the CapitalSource acquisitions.  The 2020 Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries as of the date of issuance.  The entities we acquired on June 29, 2010 from CapitalSource which own 40 facilities (see “Completed HUD Portfolio Closing” above) and the entities created to effect the acquisition are not guarantors of our 2020 Notes, or our outstanding 2014 or 2016 Notes.  As of June 30, 2010, our subsidiaries that are not guarantors of these Notes accounted for approximately $339.7 million of our total assets.
 
 
HUD Mortgage Loans and Subordinate Notes
 
In connection with the June 29, 2010, acquisition of the HUD Portfolio from CapitalSource, we assumed 29 HUD mortgage loans from CapitalSource.  The face value of eleven of the HUD loans assumed was $53.2 million have a weighted average annual interest rate of 6.61% and mature between January 2036 and May 2040.  The face value for the other eighteen HUD loans assumed was $128.8 million, and mature between January 2040 and January 2045 and all have an annual interest rate of 4.85%.  We also assumed five separate $4.0 million subordinated notes that mature in December 2021.
 
In accordance with the guidance for a business combination, we are required to allocate the fair value of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible in the CapitalSource transaction at their fair values.  Our preliminary estimate of the fair value of the HUD mortgage loans assumed is approximately $20.8 million greater than the face value of the loans as market rates for comparable loans at the acquisition date were less than the stated rates on the loans.  Our preliminary estimate of the fair value of the subordinated notes assumed is approximately $1.8 million greater than the face value of the subordinated notes as market rates for comparable notes at the acquisition date were less than the stated rates on the notes.  We will amortize the impact of the fair value adjustment for the mortgage loans and subordinated notes over there terms, respectively, utilizing an effective interest method.
 
 
-17-

Our long-term borrowings require us to meet certain property level financial covenants and corporate financial covenants, including prescribed leverage, fixed charge coverage, minimum net worth, limitations on additional indebtedness and limitations on dividend payouts.  As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all property level and corporate financial covenants.

Equity Issuance and Programs

1.0 Million Share Common Stock Issuance

On June 29, 2010, in connection with our acquisition of certain subsidiaries of CapitalSource, we issued approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock to the selling stockholder.  The closing price of the common stock was $19.80 per share.

$140 Million Equity Shelf Program

On June 25, 2010, we entered into separate equity distribution agreements (the “Agreements”) to sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $140,000,000 (the “2010 ESP”) with each of BofA Merrill Lynch, Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities, Jefferies & Company, Inc., RBS Securities Inc., Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and UBS Securities LLC, each as sales agents and/or principal (collectively, the “Managers”). Under the terms of the Agreements, we may from time to time offer and sell shares of our common stock, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $140,000,000 through or to the Managers.  We will pay each Manager compensation from the sales of the shares equal to 2% of the gross sales price per share of shares sold through such Manager under the applicable Agreement.
 
Sales of the shares made pursuant to the Agreements, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange at market prices or as otherwise agreed with the Managers. Under the terms of the Agreements, we may also sell shares to each of the Managers as principal for its own respective account, at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares to any of the Managers, as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with the applicable Manager, setting forth the terms of such transaction, and we will describe the agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.
 
 
The shares will be offered under a prospectus supplement describing the program dated June 25, 2010, which was filed pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
 
We intend to use the net proceeds of the 2010 ESP for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
We are not obligated to sell and the Managers are not obligated to buy or sell any shares under the Agreements. No assurance can be given that we will sell any shares under the Agreements, or, if we do, as to the price or amount of shares that we sell, or the dates when such sales will take place.

We have not sold shares under this program as of June 30, 2010.

Sale of Common Stock Shares in $100 Million Equity Shelf Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, 1,859,399 shares of our common stock were issued through our $100 million Equity Shelf Program established in 2009 (the “2009 ESP”) for proceeds of approximately $37.6 million, net of $0.8 million of commissions and fees.

 
-18-

On April 6, 2010, we sold 1,687,763 shares of our common stock under the 2009 ESP for net proceeds of approximately $32.3 million.  We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

With the April 6, 2010 transaction, we concluded our $100 million 2009 ESP.  Since inception of the 2009 ESP, we have sold a total of 5.2 million shares of common stock generating a total of $97.6 million of net proceeds under the program.

(1)  
Adjustment to reflect assumption of debt to fair market value.  The debt was assumed as part of the HUD closing on June 29, 2010.

Fair value estimates are subjective in nature and are dependent on a number of important assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows, risks, discount rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument (see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K).  The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts.  Accordingly, the estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we would realize in a current market exchange.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

·  
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash:  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments (i.e., less than 90 days).

 
-19-

·  
Mortgage notes receivable:  The fair values of the mortgage notes receivables are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings.

·  
Other investments:  Other investments are primarily comprised of: (i) notes receivable; and (ii) an investment in redeemable non-convertible preferred security of an unconsolidated business accounted for using the cost method of accounting.  The fair values of notes receivable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings.  The fair value of the investment in the unconsolidated business is estimated using discounted cash flow and volatility assumptions or, if available, quoted market value and considers the terms of the underlying arrangement.

·  
Revolving lines of credit:  The fair value of our borrowings under variable rate agreements are estimated using an expected present value technique based on expected cash flows discounted using the current market rates.

·  
Senior notes and other long-term borrowings:  The fair value of our borrowings under fixed rate agreements are estimated based on open market trading activity provided by a third party.

NOTE 10 – LITIGATION

On January 7, 2010, LCT SE Texas Holdings, L.L.C. (“LCT”), an affiliate of Mariner Health Care and the lessee of four facilities located in the Houston area (the “LCT Facilities”), filed a petition in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (No. 2010-01120) against four landlord entities (the “CSE Entities”), the member interests of which we purchased as part of the December 2009 CapitalSource acquisition. The petition relates to a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) under the master lease between LCT and the CSE Entities. The petition alleges, among other things, that (i) the notice of the acquisition of the member’s interests of the CSE Entities was not proper under the ROFR provision  in the master lease, (ii) the purchase price allocated to the member’s interests of the CSE Entities (or the LCT Facilities) pursuant to the CapitalSource Purchase Agreement and specified in the notice to LCT of its ROFR, if any, was  not a bona fide offer, did not represent “true market value”, and failed to trigger the ROFR, and (iii) we tortiously interfered with LCT’s right to exercise the ROFR.  The petition seeks a declaratory adjudication with respect to the identified claims above, a claim for specific performance permitting LCT to exercise its ROFR, and unspecified actual and punitive damages relating to breach of the master lease by the CSE Entities and tortious interference against us. We believe that the litigation is defensible. In addition, under the CapitalSource Purchase Agreement and related transaction documents, CapitalSource has agreed to indemnify us for any losses, including reasonable legal expenses, incurred by us in connection with this litigation.

During the first quarter of 2010, we agreed to settle a lawsuit for approximately $3.7 million in cash with a prior tenant for breach of contract related to failure to pay rent owed to us.  We recorded the settlement as miscellaneous income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 11– EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the relevant period.  Diluted EPS is computed using the treasury stock method, which is net income divided by the total weighted-average number of common outstanding shares plus the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares during the respective period.  Dilutive common shares reflect the assumed issuance of additional common shares pursuant to certain of our share-based compensation plans, including stock options, restricted stock and performance restricted stock units.

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

NOTE 12– CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2010, we had outstanding (i) $200 million 7.50% Senior Notes due 2020, (ii) $175 million 7.00% Senior Notes due 2016 and (iii) $310 million 7.00% Senior Notes due 2014, which we collectively refer to as the senior notes.The senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of our subsidiaries that guarantee other indebtedness of Omega or any of the subsidiary guarantors.  Any subsidiary that we properly designate as an “unrestricted subsidiary” under the indentures governing the senior notes will not provide guarantees of the senior notes.  As of and prior to March 31, 2010, the non-subsidiary guarantors were minor and insignificant.  On June 29, 2010, we designated as “unrestricted subsidiaries” the 39 subsidiaries acquired from CapitalSource at the HUD Portfolio Closing (see Note 2).  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the operating cash flow of the non-guarantor subsidiaries were minor and insignificant.  All of the subsidiary guarantors of our outstanding senior notes are 100 percent owned by Omega.

Overview

We have one reportable segment consisting of investments in healthcare related real estate properties.  Our core business is to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) located in the United States.  Our core portfolio consists of long-term leases and mortgage agreements.  All of our leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property-related expenses.  Our mortgage revenue derives from fixed-rate mortgage loans, which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and personal property of the mortgagor.

On July 7, 2008, we took ownership and/or possession of 15 facilities through bankruptcy court proceedings which were previously operated by Haven Eldercare (Haven).  Prior to July 7, 2008, we had (i) leased eight facilities to Haven under a master lease agreement and (ii) provided mortgage financing to a Haven entity for seven facilities that we had previously consolidated according to accounting rules regarding variable interest entities then in place.  As a result of the bankruptcy court judgment, the bankruptcy court retired the mortgage on the seven facilities in exchange for ownership of the facilities and awarded us certain other operational assets of Haven as well.  Accordingly, effective July 7, 2008, we were no longer required to consolidate the Haven entity for which we had provided the mortgage because all of the assets of the Haven entity were transferred to us and we no longer had a variable interest in the Haven entity.  In addition to receiving title to the seven facilities and certain other operational assets, on July 7, 2008, we assumed operating responsibility for the 15 Haven facilities.  In July 2008, a new entity (TC Healthcare) was formed to operate these properties on our behalf through the use of an independent contractor.  TC Healthcare’s managing member and sole voting member, an individual with experience in operating these types of facilities, has no equity investment at risk and is unrelated to Omega.  Omega and TC Healthcare entered into an agreement that requires Omega to provide the working capital requirements for TC Healthcare and to absorb the operating losses of TC Healthcare.  The agreement also provides Omega with the right to receive the economic benefits of the entity.  TC Healthcare is a variable interest entity as the entity does not have sufficient equity investment at risk to support its operations without subordinated financial support.  Additionally, Omega has the power to direct the activities as Omega has the unilateral right to replace the shareholder.  Omega is deemed the primary beneficiary of TC Healthcare as Omega has the controlling economic interest in the entity and therefore, consolidated the operations of TC Healthcare.

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Omega, all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Omega and TC Healthcare.  We consolidate the financial results of TC Healthcare into our financial statements based on the applicable consolidation accounting literature.  We include the operating results, assets and liabilities of these facilities for the period of time that TC Healthcare was responsible for the operations of the facilities.  Thirteen of these facilities were transitioned from TC Healthcare to a new tenant/operator on September 1, 2008.  The two remaining facilities were transitioned to the new tenant/operator on June 1, 2010 upon approval by state regulators of the operating license transfer.  The operating revenues and expenses and related operating assets and liabilities of the two facilities are shown on a gross basis in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.  TC Healthcare is responsible for the collection of the accounts receivable earned and the liabilities incurred prior to the date of the transition to the new tenant/operator.  All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation of the financial statements.

Our portfolio of investments at June 30, 2010, consisted of 398 healthcare facilities, located in 34 states and operated by 46 third-party operators.  Our gross investment in these facilities totaled approximately $2.4 billion at June 30, 2010, with 99% of our real estate investments related to long-term healthcare facilities.  This portfolio is made up of (i) 370 SNFs, (ii) 10 assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), (iii) five specialty facilities, (iv) fixed rate mortgages on 10 SNFs and (v) three SNFs that are currently held for sale.  At June 30, 2010, we also held other investments of approximately $33.4 million, consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our facilities.

Taxation

We have elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”), under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1992.  We believe that we have been organized and operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT. We intend to continue to operate in a manner that will maintain our qualification as a REIT, but no assurance can be given that we have operated or will be able to continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.  Under the Code, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income distributed to stockholders if certain distribution, income, asset and stockholder tests are met, including a requirement that we must generally distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income, excluding any net capital gain, to stockholders.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we may be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income for that year and for the four years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders.  For further information, see “Taxation” in Item 1 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Recent Developments Regarding Government Regulation and Reimbursement

Healthcare Reform.  The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “PPACA”) was signed into law on March 23, 2010.  Accompanying the PPACA was the Healthcare and Education Affordability and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Reconciliation Act,” and together with the PPACA, the “Healthcare Reform Law”), which was signed into law on March 30, 2010 and contains a number of amendments to the PPACA. This legislation represents the most comprehensive change to healthcare benefits since the inception of the Medicare program in 1965 and will affect reimbursement for governmental programs, private insurance and employee welfare benefit plans in various ways.  Some changes under the Healthcare Reform Law will occur almost immediately, such as changes to pre-existing condition requirements and coverage of dependents.  Other changes, including taxes on so-called “Cadillac” health plans, will be implemented over the next eight years.  We expect significant rule making and regulations under the Healthcare Reform Law to be promulgated during that time.

The attorneys general for several states have challenged the constitutionality of certain provisions of the Healthcare Reform Law, including the requirement that each individual carry health insurance.  This litigation is in its early stages and the outcome cannot be predicted.

Given the multitude of factors involved in the Healthcare Reform Law and the substantial requirements for regulation thereunder, we cannot predict the impact of the Healthcare Reform Law on our operators or their ability to meet their obligations to us.  The Healthcare Reform Law could result in decreases in payments to our operators or otherwise adversely affect the financial condition of our operators.  We cannot predict whether our operators will have the ability to modify certain aspects of their operations to lessen the impact of any increased costs or other adverse effects resulting from changes in governmental programs, private insurance and/or employee welfare benefit plans.  The impact of the Healthcare Reform Law on each of our operators will vary depending on payor mix, resident conditions and a variety of other factors.  In addition to the provisions relating to reimbursement, other provisions of the Healthcare Reform Law may impact our operators as employers (e.g., requirements related to providing health insurance for employees), which could negatively impact the financial condition of our operators. We anticipate that many of the provisions in the Healthcare Reform Law may be subject to further clarification and modification during the rule making process.

Reimbursement.  The recent downturn in the U.S. economy has resulted in significant cost-cutting at both the federal and state levels.  These cost-cutting measures, together with the implementation of changes in reimbursement rates under the Healthcare Reform Law, could result in a significant reduction of reimbursement rates to our operators under both the Medicare and Medicaid programs.  We currently believe that our operator coverage ratios are adequate and that our operators can absorb moderate reimbursement rate reductions and still meet their obligations to us.  However, significant limits on the scopes of services reimbursed and on reimbursement rates could have a material adverse effect on our operators’ results of operations and financial condition, which could adversely affect our operators’ ability to meet their obligations to us.
 
 
-26-

Medicaid.  Current market and economic conditions, as well as the implementation of rules under the Healthcare Reform Law, will likely have a significant impact on state budgets and healthcare spending.  Fiscal conditions have continued to deteriorate, and many states are experiencing significant budget gaps.
 
State budget deficits were exacerbated by increased enrollment in Medicaid during 2009.  We anticipate that Medicaid enrollment could begin to increase as early as 2010, as the Healthcare Reform Law allows states to increase the number of people who are eligible for Medicaid and simplifies enrollment in this program.  Since our operators’ profit margins on Medicaid patients are generally relatively low, substantial reductions in Medicaid reimbursement and an increase in the number of Medicaid patients could adversely affect our operators’ results of operations and financial conditions, which in turn could negatively impact us.
 
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”), which was signed into law on February 17, 2009, provides for enhanced federal Medicaid matching rates that may provide some relief to states.  Because states have discretion with respect to their Medicaid programs, some states may address budget shortfalls outside of Medicaid by reallocating state funds that otherwise would have been spent on Medicaid expenditures.  As a result, the impact of the ARRA Medicaid funding on our operators will depend on how states choose to use the funding.  Further, the ARA funding is currently scheduled to end December 31, 2010.  Many states are concerned that the lack of funds will have a negative impact on their budgets.
 
Medicare.  On July 22, 2010, the CMS published a proposed rule on Medicare’s prospective payment system for SNFs for federal fiscal year 2011.  The proposed rule includes an increase in payments to nursing homes equal to $524 million or 1.7%.  The impact of the changes among our operators may vary, depending in part on the characteristics of the patient populations of the individual facilities.
 
In 2009, the CMS finalized a revised case-mix classification system, the RUG-IV, and planned implementation for fiscal year 2010.  However, the Healthcare Reform Law delayed implementation of RUG-IV back one year to October 1, 2011.  Congress is currently considering legislation that would repeal the extension so that RUG-IV would be effective beginning October 1, 2010. The change in case-mix classification methodology has the potential to impact reimbursement, although the ultimate impact of the RUG-IV classification model on reimbursement to our operators is unknown.
 
Under the Healthcare Reform Law, beginning in fiscal year 2012, the SNF market basket will be reduced by a productivity adjustment equal to the ten-year rolling average of changes in “annual economy-wide private non-farm business multifactor productivity” as projected by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.  This could result in significant cuts to Medicare reimbursement, thereby negatively impacting our operators.
 
The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (the “MIPPA”) became law on July 15, 2008 and made a variety of changes to Medicare, some of which may affect SNFs.  For instance, the MIPPA extended the therapy caps exceptions process through December 31, 2009.  The Healthcare Reform Law further extended the therapy cap exceptions process through December 31, 2010.  The therapy caps limit the physical therapy, speech-language therapy and occupational therapy services that a Medicare beneficiary can receive during a calendar year.  These caps do not apply to therapy services covered under Medicare Part A for SNFs, although the caps apply in most other instances involving patients in SNFs or long-term care facilities who receive therapy services covered under Medicare Part B.  Congress implemented a temporary therapy cap exceptions process, which permits medically necessary therapy services to exceed the payment limits.  Expiration of the therapy caps exceptions process in the future could have a material adverse effect on our operators’ financial condition and operations, which could adversely impact their ability to meet their obligations to us.
 
 
-27-

Quality of Care Initiatives.  The CMS has implemented a number of initiatives focused on the quality of care provided by nursing homes that could affect our operators.  For instance, in December 2008, the CMS released quality ratings for all of the nursing homes that participate in Medicare or Medicaid. Facility rankings, ranging from five stars (“much above average”) to one star (“much below average”) are updated on a monthly basis.  The Healthcare Reform Law includes a requirement that the Government Accounting Office conduct a study of this ranking system, the results of which cannot be predicted.  In the event any of our operators does not maintain or receive the same or superior ranking as its competitors, patients could choose alternate facilities, which could adversely impact our operators’ revenues.  In addition, the reporting of such information could lead to future reimbursement policies that reward or penalize facilities on the basis of the reported quality of care parameters.
 
The Office of Inspector General’s (the “OIG”) Work Plan for fiscal year 2010, which describes projects that the OIG plans to address during the fiscal year, includes a number of projects related to nursing homes.  While we cannot predict the results of the OIG's activities, they could result in further scrutiny and/or oversight of nursing homes.

 
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and a summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying footnotes.  Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty.  Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.  Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such difference may be material to the consolidated financial statements.  We have described our most critical accounting policies in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. This guidance specifies that a reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number) related to Level 3 fair value measurements as part of a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances. The guidance further clarifies the disclosure regarding the level of disaggregation and input and valuation techniques.  The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2010, the FASB issued guidance on subsequent events. This guidance provides a definition for SEC filer and eliminates the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance to significantly amend the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The consolidation model was modified to one based on control and economics, and replaces the current quantitative primary beneficiary analysis with a qualitative analysis. The primary beneficiary of a VIE will be the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE and adds an additional reconsideration event for determination of whether an entity is a VIE. The amendments also require expanded disclosures related to VIEs which are largely consistent with the disclosure framework currently applied by us. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2010 for us. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

Results of Operations

The following is our discussion of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and liquidity and capital resources, which should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $58.8 million, an increase of $9.7 million over the same period in 2009.  The $9.7 million increase relates primarily to an increase in rental income of approximately $10.3 million due to: (i)  the CapitalSource acquisitions which occurred on December 22, 2009, June 9, 2010 and June 29, 2010 and (ii) the conversion of 4 facilities from our mortgage loan portfolio to leased properties portfolio.  In February 2010, we took possession of 4 facilities through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure process with one of our mortgagees.  We have entered into a long-term lease with a third party tenant to operate these facilities.  In addition, a $1.3 million increase in other investment income was primarily the result of income received from two mortgage back certificate notes that were retired during the second quarter of 2010.  Offsetting the above noted increases are (i) a decrease of $0.4 million in mortgage interest income as a result of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure for one of our operators and (ii) a decrease of $1.4 million in owned and operated due to the deconsolidation of owned and operated facilities effective June 1, 2010.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $24.3 million, an increase of approximately $4.7 million over the same period in 2009.  The increase was primarily due to: (i) an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $5.5 million primarily associated with the CapitalSource acquisitions which occurred on December 22, 2009, June 9, 2010 and June 29, 2010 , (ii) an increase of $1.2 million in acquisition cost related to the expenses incurred in connection with the CapitalSource acquisitions, (iii) an increase of $0.6 million in general and administrative expense primarily related to expenses incurred in connection with the CapitalSource acquisitions and (iv) an increase of $0.2 million in provisions for impairment related to a reduction in the carrying value of one of our held-for-sale facilities to its estimated fair value less costs to sell, offset by the reduction of $2.7 million in owned and operated primarily due to the deconsolidation of owned and operated facilities effective June 1, 2010.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, total other expenses were $19.0 million, an increase of approximately $9.3 million over the same period in 2009.  The increase in interest expense of approximately $6.0 million was primarily due to an increase in borrowings outstanding, including debt assumed to finance the CapitalSource acquisitions.  In addition, the increase of $2.9 million in interest refinancing costs relates to the write-off of $3.5 million during the second quarter of 2010 associated with the termination of the $200 million 2009 Credit Facility compared to a write-off of $0.5 million of deferred cost associated with the termination of the $255 million credit facility in June 2009.


 
-29-


Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
 
Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $117.5 million, an increase of $19.2 million over the same period in 2009.  The $19.2 million increase relates primarily to an increase in rental income of approximately $16.3 million primarily due to: (i) the CapitalSource acquisitions which occurred on December 22, 2009, June 9, 2010 and June 29, 2010 and (ii) the conversion of 4 facilities from our mortgage loan portfolio to leased properties portfolio.  In February 2010, we took possession of 4 facilities through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure process with one of our mortgagees.  We have entered into a long-term lease with a third party tenant to operate these facilities.  In addition, miscellaneous income increased by $3.5 million due to a settlement with one of our prior operators in February 2010 for breach of contract related to failure to pay rent.  Other investment income also increased by approximately $1.4 million primarily as a result of income received from the repayment of two mortgage back certificate notes that were retired during the second quarter of 2010.  Offsetting the above noted increases are (i) a decrease of $0.6 million in mortgage interest income as a result of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure for one of our operators and (ii) a decrease of $1.5 million in owned and operated due to the deconsolidation of owned and operated facilities effective June 1, 2010.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $47.5 million, an increase of approximately $8.4 million over the same period in 2009.  The increase was primarily due to: (i) an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $9.2 million primarily associated with the CapitalSource acquisitions which occurred on December 22, 2009, June 9, 2010 and June 29, 2010,  (ii) an increase of $1.4 million in acquisition cost related to the expenses incurred in connection with the CapitalSource acquisitions, (iii) an increase of $0.8 million in general and administrative expense primarily related to expenses incurred in connection with the CapitalSource acquisitions and (iv) an increase of $0.3 million in restricted stock expense as a result of a modification to the vesting portion of performance targets for our 2009 performance restricted stock units, offset by the reduction of $3.5 million in owned and operated primarily due to the deconsolidation of owned and operated facilities effective June 1, 2010.

Other Income (Expense)

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, total other expenses were $33.6 million, an increase of approximately $19.1 million over the same period in 2009.  The increase in interest expense of approximately $10.8 million was primarily due to an increase in borrowings outstanding, including debt assumed to finance the CapitalSource acquisitions.  In addition, the increase of $2.9 million in interest refinancing costs relates to the write-off of $3.5 million during the second quarter of 2010 associated with the termination of the 2009 Credit Facility compared to a write-off of $0.5 million of deferred cost associated with the termination of the $255 million credit facility in June 2009.  During the first quarter of 2009, we received $4.5 million in cash for a legal settlement.

Funds From Operations

Our funds from operations available to common stockholders (“FFO”), for the three months ended June 30, 2010, was $29.7 million, compared to $28.6 million, for the same period in 2009.

We calculate and report FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and consequently, FFO is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization.  We believe that FFO is an important supplemental measure of our operating performance.  Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions.  The term FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue.  FFO herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO of other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us.

 
-30-

We use FFO as one of several criteria to measure operating performance of our business.  We further believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods.  We offer this measure to assist the users of our financial statements in analyzing our financial performance; however, this is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net income or an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP.  Investors and potential investors in our securities should not rely on this measure as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

The following table reconciles FFO to net income available to common stockholders, as determined under GAAP, for the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

Portfolio and Recent Developments

143 Facility CapitalSource Acquisitions

In November 2009, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “CapitalSource Purchase Agreement”) with CapitalSource Inc. (NYSE: CSE) (“CapitalSource”) and several of its affiliates, pursuant to which we agreed to purchase CapitalSource subsidiaries owning 80 long term care facilities, plus an option to purchase CapitalSource subsidiaries owning an additional 63 facilities (the “Option”), for approximately $565 million.  The purchase price for the CapitalSource subsidiaries subject to the Option was approximately $295 million.

Completed First Closing

On December 22, 2009, we purchased CapitalSource entities owning 40 facilities and an Option to purchase entities owning 63 additional facilities for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $294.1 million.  The consideration consisted of: (i) approximately $184.2 million in cash; (ii) 2,714,959 shares of Omega common stock and (iii) the assumption of approximately $59.4 million of 6.8% mortgage debt maturing on December 31, 2011.  We incurred approximately $1.8 million in transaction costs, of which $1.6 million was incurred during 2009.  We valued the 2,714,959 shares of our common stock at approximately $52.8 million on December 22, 2009.

 
-31-

The 40 facilities represent 5,264 available beds located in 12 states, and are part of 15 in-place triple net leases among 12 operators.   The 12 leases generate approximately $31 million of annualized revenue.

We are in the process of gathering the information necessary to complete  the purchase price allocation of the December 22, 2009 acquisition.  Based on our preliminary allocation we have allocated approximately $275 million to land, building and furniture and fixtures and approximately $4 million in net below market value in-place leases.  The market value of the debt assumed approximated face value.  We have not recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.

Completed HUD Portfolio Closing

On June 29, 2010, we purchased CapitalSource entities owning 40 facilities for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $271 million.  We also paid consideration for approximately $15 million in escrow accounts transferred to us at closing.  The 40 facilities are encumbered by approximately $182 million of long-term mortgage financing guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and $20 million of subordinated debt that we assumed from CapitalSource as part of the transaction.  The following summarizes the consideration paid at closing:

·  
$65 million in cash,

·  
$202 million face value of assumed debt, which includes $20 million of 9.0% unsecured debt maturing in December 2021, $53 million of HUD debt at a 6.61% weighted average annual interest rate maturing between January 2036 and May 2040, and $129 million of new HUD Debt at a 4.85% annual interest rate between January 2040 and January 2045, and

·  
995 thousand shares of our common stock valued at approximately $19 million on June 29, 2010.

The 40 facilities represent 4,882 available beds located in two states, and are part of 13 in-place triple net leases among two operators.  The 13 leases generate approximately $30 million of annualized revenue.

We are in the process of gathering the information necessary to complete the purchase price allocation of the June 29, 2010 acquisition.  Based on our preliminary allocation, we have allocated approximately $309 million to land, building and furniture and fixtures on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and approximately $15 million in net below market value in-place leases.  In addition, we recorded approximately $23 million of fair value adjustment related to the assumed debt for above market debt assumed based on the terms of comparable debt.  We have not recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.

 
Completed Option Exercise
 
On April 20, 2010, we provided notice of our intent to exercise our Option to acquire CapitalSource entities owning 63 additional facilities.  On June 9, 2010, we completed our purchase of the 63 CapitalSource facilities for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $293 million in cash.  We used a combination of cash and borrowings under our $320 million revolving senior secured credit facility to fund the acquisition.
 
The 63 facilities represent 6,607 available beds located in 19 states and are part of 30 in-place triple net leases among 18 operators.  The 30 leases generate approximately $33 million of annualized revenue.

We are in the process of gathering the information necessary to complete the purchase price allocation of the June 9, 2010 acquisition.  Based on our preliminary allocation, we have allocated approximately $333 million to land, building and furniture and fixtures on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and approximately $15 million in net below market value in-place leases.  We have not recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.

Held for Sale

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, a $0.2 million provision for impairment charge was recorded to reduce the carrying value of one of our held-for-sale facilities to its estimated fair value.  The facility is scheduled to be sold in the third quarter of 2010.  At June 30, 2010, we owned three SNFs classified as held-for-sale with an aggregate net book value of approximately $0.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2010, we had total assets of $2.3 billion, stockholders’ equity of $961.1 million and debt of $1.2 billion, representing approximately 56.1% of total capitalization.

Financing Activities and Borrowing Arrangements

Bank Credit Agreements

At June 30, 2010, we had $221 million outstanding under our new $320 million revolving senior secured credit facility (the “2010 Credit Facility”), and no letters of credit outstanding, leaving availability of $99.0 million.
 
On April 13, 2010, we entered into our 2010 Credit Facility and concurrently terminated our $200 million revolving senior secured credit facility (the “2009 Credit Facility”).  The 2010 Credit Facility matures in four years, on April 13, 2014; provided, we have refinanced or repaid our $310 million, 7% Senior Notes due April 2014 (the “2014 Notes”), prior to December 31, 2013.  In the event the 2014 Notes have not been refinanced or repaid on or prior to December 31, 2013, the maturity date of the 2010 Credit Facility will become December 31, 2013.  The 2010 Credit Facility includes an “accordion feature” that permits us to expand our borrowing capacity to $420 million during our first three years.  At March 31, 2010, deferred financing fees associated with the 2009 Credit Facility were $3.5 million.  These fees were written–off in April 2010.
 
 
-33-

The 2010 Credit Facility is priced at LIBOR plus an applicable percentage (ranging from 325 basis points to 425 basis points) based on our consolidated leverage and is not subject to a LIBOR floor.  Our applicable percentage above LIBOR is currently 350 basis points.  The 2010 Credit Facility will be used for acquisitions and general corporate purposes.
 
$59 Million Mortgage Debt
 
In connection with the December 22, 2009 closing under the CapitalSource Purchase Agreement, we assumed $59.4 million of 6.8% mortgage debt maturing on December 31, 2011 with a one year extension right. The mortgage debt is secured by 12 facilities per the terms of the mortgage debt agreement.  On February 16, 2010, we used proceeds from the offering of our $200 million 7.5% Senior Notes due 2020 to repay the assumed mortgage debt.

$200 Million Senior Notes

On February 9, 2010, we issued and sold $200 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.5% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”).  The 2020 Notes mature on February 15, 2020 and pay interest semi-annually on August 15th and February 15th.

We may redeem the 2020 Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at redemption prices of 103.75%, 102.5% and 101.25% of the principal amount thereof if the redemption occurs during the respective 12-month periods beginning on February 15 of the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, and at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof on and after February 15, 2018, in each case, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.  In addition, until February 15, 2013 we may redeem up to 35% of the notes with the net proceeds of one or more public equity offerings at a redemption price of 107.5% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes to be so redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.  If we undergo a change of control, we may be required to offer to purchase the notes from holders at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest.

The 2020 Notes were sold at an issue price of 98.278% of the principal amount, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $197 million.  We used the net proceeds from the sale of the 2020 Notes, after discounts and expenses, to (i) repay outstanding borrowings of approximately $59 million of debt assumed in connection with our December 22, 2009 CapitalSource, (ii) repay outstanding borrowings under our 2009 Credit Facility, and (iii) for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of healthcare-related properties such as the pending CapitalSource acquisitions.  Guarantors of the 2020 Notes include only our existing restricted subsidiaries and all of our future restricted subsidiaries that guarantee any indebtedness of ours or of our subsidiary guarantors.  Any subsidiary that we properly designate as an unrestricted subsidiary under the indenture governing the 2020 Notes will not provide a guarantee of the 2020 Notes.  Our non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for approximately $339.7 million of our total assets as of June 30, 2010.

 
HUD Mortgage Loans and Subordinate Notes
 
In connection with the June 29, 2010, acquisition of the Housing and Urban Development (the “HUD”) portfolio from CapitalSource, we assumed 29 HUD mortgage loans from CapitalSource.  The face value of eleven of the HUD loans assumed was $53.2 million have a weighted average interest rate of 6.61% and mature between January 2036 and May 2040.  The face value for the other eighteen HUD loans assumed was $128.8 million, and mature between January 2040 and January 2045 and all have an annual interest rate of 4.85%.  We also assumed five separate $4.0 million subordinated notes that mature in December 2021.
 
 
-34-

 
In accordance with the guidance for debt assumed in a business combination, we are required to allocate the fair value of the assets purchase and liabilities assumed in the transaction.  Our preliminary estimate of the fair value of the HUD mortgages loans assumed is approximately $20.8 million greater than the face value of the loans as market rates for comparable loans at the acquisition date were less than the stated rates on the loans.  Our preliminary estimate of the fair value of the subordinated notes assumed is approximately $1.8 million greater than the face value of the subordinated notes as market rates for comparable loans at the acquisition date were less than the stated rates on the notes.  We will amortize the impact of the fair value adjustment over the term of the loan utilizing an effective interest method.
 
Our long-term borrowings require us to meet certain property level financial covenants and corporate financial covenants, including prescribed leverage, fixed charge coverage, minimum net worth, limitations on additional indebtedness and limitations on dividend payouts.  As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all property level and corporate financial covenants.

1.0 Million Share Common Stock Issuance

On June 29, 2010, we issued approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock as part of the consideration paid at the June 29, 2010 HUD Portfolio closing under our purchase agreement with CapitalSource.  The closing price of the common stock was $19.80 per share.

$140 Million Equity Shelf Program

On June 25, 2010, we entered into separate equity distribution agreements (the “Agreements”) to sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $140,000,000 (the “2010 ESP”) with each of BofA Merrill Lynch, Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities, Jefferies & Company, Inc., RBS Securities Inc., Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and UBS Securities LLC, each as sales agents and/or principal (collectively, the “Managers”). Under the terms of the Agreements, we may from time to time offer and sell shares of our common stock, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $140,000,000 through or to the Managers.  We will pay each Manager compensation for the sales of the shares equal to 2% of the gross sales price per share of shares sold through such Manager under the applicable Agreement.
 
Sales of the shares made pursuant to the Agreements, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange at market prices or as otherwise agreed with the Managers. Under the terms of the Agreements, we may also sell shares to each of the Managers as principal for its own respective account, at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares to any of the Managers, as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with the applicable Manager, setting forth the terms of such transaction, and we will describe the agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.
 
 
The shares will be offered under a prospectus supplement describing the program dated June 25, 2010, which was filed pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
 
We intend to use the net proceeds of the 2010 ESP for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
We are not obligated to sell and the Managers are not obligated to buy or sell any shares under the Agreements. No assurance can be given that we will sell any shares under the Agreements, or, if we do, as to the price or amount of shares that we sell, or the dates when such sales will take place.
 
 
Sale of Common Stock Shares in $100 Million Equity Shelf Program
 
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, 1,859,399 shares of our common stock were issued through our $100 million Equity Shelf Program established in 2009 (the “2009 ESP”) for gross proceeds of approximately $37.6 million, net of $0.8 million of commissions and fees.

On April 6, 2010, we sold 1,687,763 shares of our common stock under the 2009 ESP for net proceeds of approximately $32.3 million.  We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 
-35-

At the conclusion of the April 6, 2010 transaction, we concluded our $100 million 2009 ESP.  Since inception of the 2009 ESP, we have sold a total of 5.2 million shares of common stock generating a total of $97.6 million of net proceeds under the program.

Dividends

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to our stockholders in an amount at least equal to (A) the sum of (i) 90% of our "REIT taxable income" (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain), and (ii) 90% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (B) the sum of certain items of non-cash income. In addition, if we dispose of any built-in gain asset during a recognition period, we will be required to distribute at least 90% of the built-in gain (after tax), if any, recognized on the disposition of such asset. Such distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if declared before we timely file our tax return for such year and paid on or before the first regular dividend payment after such declaration. In addition, such distributions are required to be made pro rata, with no preference to any share of stock as compared with other shares of the same class, and with no preference to one class of stock as compared with another class except to the extent that such class is entitled to such a preference. To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or do distribute at least 90%, but less than 100% of our "REIT taxable income," as adjusted, we will be subject to tax thereon at regular ordinary and capital gain corporate tax rates.  In addition, our 2010 Credit Facility has certain financial covenants that limit the distribution of dividends paid during a fiscal quarter to no more than 95% of our aggregate cumulative FFO as defined in the credit agreement, unless a greater distribution is required to maintain REIT status.  The credit agreement defines FFO as net income (or loss) plus depreciation and amortization and shall be adjusted for charges related to: (i) restructuring our debt; (ii) redemption of preferred stock; (iii) litigation charges up to $5.0 million; (iv) non-cash charges for accounts and notes receivable up to $5.0 million; (v) non-cash compensation related expenses; (vi) non-cash impairment charges; and (vii) tax liabilities in an amount not to exceed $8.0 million.

For the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2010, we paid total dividends of $32.1 million and $62.7 million, respectively.

On July 15, 2010, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.36 per share, increasing the quarterly common dividend by $0.04, or 12.5%, per share over the prior quarter.  The common dividends are to be paid August 16, 2010 to common stockholders of record on July 30, 2010.
 
On July 15, 2010, the Board of Directors declared the regular quarterly dividends for the 8.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) to stockholders of record on July 30, 2010.  The stockholders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock on July 30, 2010 will be paid dividends in the amount of $0.52344 per preferred share on August 16, 2010.  The liquidation preference for our Series D Preferred Stock is $25.00 per share. Regular quarterly preferred dividends for the Series D Preferred Stock represent dividends for the period May 1, 2010 through July 30, 2010.
 

Liquidity

We believe our liquidity and various sources of available capital, including cash from operations, our existing availability under our 2010 Credit Facility and expected proceeds from mortgage payoffs are adequate to finance operations, meet recurring debt service requirements and fund future investments through the next twelve months.

We regularly review our liquidity needs, the adequacy of cash flow from operations, and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs.  We believe our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund:

 
-36-

· normal recurring expenses;
· debt service payments;
· preferred stock dividends;
· common stock dividends; and
· growth through acquisitions of additional properties.

The primary source of liquidity is our cash flows from operations.  Operating cash flows have historically been determined by: (i) the number of facilities we lease or have mortgages on; (ii) rental and mortgage rates; (iii) our debt service obligations; and (iv) general and administrative expenses.  The timing, source and amount of cash flows provided by financing activities and used in investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets environment, especially to changes in interest rates.  Changes in the capital markets environment may impact the availability of cost-effective capital and affect our plans for acquisition and disposition activity.  Current economic conditions reduced the availability of cost-effective capital in recent quarters, and accordingly our level of new investments has decreased.  As economic conditions and capital markets stabilize, we look forward to funding new investments as conditions warrant.  However, we cannot predict the timing or level of future investments.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.0 million as of June 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.2 million as compared to the balance at December 31, 2009.  The following is a discussion of changes in cash and cash equivalents due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Operating Activities – Net cash flow from operating activities generated $65.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $80.9 million for the same period in 2009, a decrease of $15.0 million.  The decrease in operating cash is primarily due to approximately $8.5 million reduction of cash flow from our owned and operated facilities in 2010 compared to 2009.

Investing Activities – Net cash flow from investing activities was an outflow of $359.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to an outflow of $7.0 million for the same period in 2009.  The increase in cash outflow from investing activities of $352.9 million relates primarily to (i) $343.2 million acquisitions in real estate and (ii) $9.5 million increase in spending on capital improvement projects.

Financing Activities – Net cash flow from financing activities was an inflow of $293.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to an outflow of $69.2 million for the same period in 2009.  The $362.9 million change in financing activities was primarily a result of: (i) an increase in net proceeds of our credit facility of $144.4 million during the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period 2009, (ii) net proceeds of $196.6 million of our 7.5% Senior Notes due 2020 issued in February 2010, (iii) net proceeds of $73.5 million from our common stock issued through our Equity Shelf Program during the first six months of 2010 compared to no issuance for the same period in 2009 and (iv) an increase in net proceeds from our dividend reinvestment proceeds of $20.6 million due to reinstatement of the optional cash purchase component of our DRSPP in May 2009.  Offsetting these increases were: (i) the repayment of $59.4 million during the first quarter of 2010 in debt assumed as part of the December 22, 2009 CapitalSource acquisition (ii) the net increase in payment of $4.4 million related to deferred financing costs associated with the issuance of our $200 million 7.5% Senior Notes due 2020 in February 2010 and the 2010 Credit Facility in April 2010, and (iii) an increase in dividend payment of $8.6 million due to an increase in the number of shares outstanding.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates.  We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, but we seek to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the term of new investments with new long-term fixed rate borrowing to the extent possible.

 
-37-

The interest rate charged on our 2010 Credit Facility can vary based on the interest rate option we choose to utilize. The interest rates per annum applicable to the 2010 Credit Facility are the reserve-adjusted LIBOR Rate (the “Eurodollar Rate”), plus the applicable margin (as defined below) or, at our option, the base rate, which will be the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by the administrative agent as its prime rate in effect, (ii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate for a Eurodollar Loan with an interest period of one month plus 1.25%, in each case, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin with respect to the 2010 Credit Facility is determined in accordance with a performance grid based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The applicable margin may range from 4.25% to 3.25% in the case of Eurodollar Rate advances, from 3.0% to 2.0% in the case of base rate advances, and from 4.25% to 3.25% in the case of letter of credit fees..  The 2010 Credit Facility, which was entered into in April 2010, replaces the 2009 Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2010, the total amount of debt outstanding on the 2010 Credit Facility was $221.0 million.

The interest rate per annum applicable to our Term Loan is also based on the Eurodollar Rate, with a floor of 100 basis points, plus a fixed applicable margin equal to 5.5%.  As of June 30, 2010, the total amount of debt outstanding on our Term Loan was $100.0 million.

As of June 30, 2010, the Omega had no outstanding debt subject to interest rate fluctuations.
For additional information, refer to Item 7A as presented in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are controls and other procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act 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 timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2010.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report identified in connection with the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures described above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 Legal Proceedings

See Note 10 – Litigation to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference in response to this item.

Item 1A Risk Factors

We filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2010, which sets forth our risk factors in Item 1A therein, as supplemented in Part II, Item 1A to our Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ending March 31, 2010.  We have not experienced any material changes from the risk factors previously described therein, except as set forth below.

Risks Related to Us and Our Operations

We may not be able to adapt our management and operational systems to integrate and manage our growth without additional expense.
 
Our December 2009 and June 2010 acquisitions of certain CapitalSource subsidiaries has significantly increased the number of long-term care facilities in our investment portfolio and the number of states in which we own facilities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to adapt our management, administrative, accounting and operational systems to integrate and manage the facilities we have acquired and those that we may acquire under our existing cost structure in a timely manner. Our failure to timely integrate and manage the acquisition of the CapitalSource subsidiaries and future acquisitions or developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, projections of estimated future revenues, costs savings or operating metrics that we developed during the due diligence and integration planning process could prove to be inaccurate. If we experience any such inaccuracies, or if we later discover additional liabilities or experience unforeseen costs relating to the companies we acquired from CapitalSource or future acquired companies, we might not achieve the economic benefit we expect from acquisitions, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
