UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2006
(unaudited)
(1) General
This Report on Form 10-Q is for the Quarterly Period ended June 30, 2006. In this Quarterly Report, we, us, our and the Trust refer to Universal Health Realty Income Trust.
You should carefully review all of the information contained in this Quarterly Report, and should particularly consider any risk factors that we set forth in this Quarterly Report and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). In this Quarterly Report, we state our beliefs of future events and of our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify those so-called forward-looking statements by words such as may, will, should, could, would, predicts, potential, continue, expects, anticipates, future, intends, plans, believes, estimates, appears, projects and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense. You should be aware that those statements are only our predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating those statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risks outlined in Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, under Forward Looking Statements and Certain Risk Factors. Those factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any of our forward-looking statements.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the term revenues does not include the revenues of the unconsolidated limited liability companies in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 98%. We currently account for our share of the income/loss from these investments by the equity method (see Note 8). As of June 30, 2006, we had investments or commitments in twenty-four limited liability companies (LLCs), twenty-one of which are accounted for by the equity method and three that are currently consolidated in the results of operations.
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in our opinion, are necessary to fairly present results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting policies and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year financial statement presentation.
(2) Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS) and Related Party Transactions
UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the Advisor), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as Advisor to us under an Advisory Agreement (the Advisory Agreement) dated December 24, 1986. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31st of each year, however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS, that the Advisors performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement has been renewed for 2006. All transactions between us and UHS must be approved by the Independent Trustees.
The Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee equal to .60% of our average invested real estate assets, as derived from our consolidated balance sheet. The Advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year-end based upon our audited financial statements. Our officers are all employees of the Advisor and although we have no salaried employees, certain officers do receive stock-based compensation from time to time. Advisory fees incurred and paid (or payable) to UHS amounted to $355,000 and $353,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $702,000 and $708,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Page 6 of 26
The Trust commenced operations in 1986 by purchasing certain subsidiaries from UHS and immediately leasing the properties back to the respective subsidiaries. Most of the leases were entered into at the time the Trust commenced operations and provided for initial terms of 13 to 15 years with up to six additional 5-year renewal terms, with the base rents set forth in the leases effective for all but the last two renewal terms. Each lease also provided for additional or bonus rents, as discussed below. In 1998, the lease for McAllen Medical Center was amended to provide that the last two renewal terms would also be fixed at the initial agreed upon rental. This lease amendment was in connection with certain concessions granted by UHS with respect to the renewal of other leases. The base rents are paid monthly and the bonus rents are computed and paid on a quarterly basis, based upon a computation that compares current quarter revenue to a corresponding quarter in the base year. The leases with subsidiaries of UHS are unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another.
During the third quarter of 2005, Chalmette Medical Center (Chalmette), our two story, 138-bed acute care hospital located in Chalmette, Louisiana, was severely damaged and closed as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The majority of the real estate assets of Chalmette were leased from us by a subsidiary of UHS and, in accordance with the terms of the lease, and as part of an overall evaluation of the leases between subsidiaries of UHS and us, UHS elected to offer substitution properties rather than exercise its right to rebuild the facility or offer cash for Chalmette. Independent appraisals were obtained by us and UHS which indicated that the pre-hurricane fair market value of the leased facility was $23,965,000 (FMV of Chalmette).
During the second quarter of 2006, we agreed to terminate the lease between Chalmette and us and to transfer the real property assets and all rights attendant thereto (including insurance proceeds) of Chalmette to UHS in exchange and substitution for newly constructed real property assets owned by UHS (Capital Additions) at Wellington Regional Medical Center (Wellington), The Bridgeway (Bridgeway) and Southwest Healthcare System-Inland Valley Campus (Inland Valley), in satisfaction of the obligations under the Chalmette lease. The exchange and substitution package, which has an estimated total value of approximately $25 million, was completed during the third quarter of 2006 and includes the following Capital Additions, as defined in the Master Lease Document, by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 (the Master Lease), which were recently constructed on, or adjacent to, facilities already owned by us as well as a Capital Addition at Inland Valley which is currently under construction and expected to be completed by the end of 2006. Since the estimated total value of the substitution package is expected to exceed the FMV of Chalmette, the excess amount will be paid to UHS in cash upon completion of the Inland Valley Capital Additions. UHS is obligated to complete the Inland Valley Capital Addition or, subject to our approval, offer to either provide alternative substitution property or pay to us an amount in cash equal to the substitution value of the Capital Addition. To accomplish the exchange and substitution, on April 24, 2006, we entered into an Asset Exchange and Substitution Agreement with UHS and certain subsidiaries.

$12,160,000 (Estimated construction costs, which approximate fair value) |
Our Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2005 included a property write-down charge of $6.3 million representing the net book value of the Chalmette property, excluding the land. The $6.3 million property charge was offset in 2005 by an equal amount recoverable from UHS and is included as Property Damage Receivable from UHS on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2006. The land has a book value of $2 million which is included as Land Held for Exchange on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2006. As a result of the exchange and substitution, we expect to record the excess of the FMV of Chalmette ($24.0 million) over the combined book value of the Property Damage Receivable from UHS and the Land Held for Exchange ($8.3 million in total), as income in the period the exchanged and substituted assets are transferred to us. Pursuant to section 1033(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the IRC) we will recognize no gain for federal income tax purposes to the extent we receive from UHS only the Capital Additions outlined above as replacement property for the Chalmette property destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the total rent earned by us under the Chalmette lease was approximately $1.6 million to $1.7 million annually (including base and bonus rental). The total rent payable to us on the Capital Additions included in the substitution package (excluding the rent on the Capital Additions in excess of the FMV of Chalmette) is expected to closely approximate the total rent earned by us under the Chalmette lease. UHS will pay incremental rent on the Capital Additions in excess of the FMV of Chalmette at a rate equal to the prevailing five-year treasury rate plus 200 basis points at the time of funding (minimum rate 6.75%). Below is the estimated rent allocation of the substitution properties, excluding the incremental rent on the Capital Additions in excess of the FMV of Chalmette.

$ | 1,522,316 | $ | 94,684 | $ | 1,617,000 | |||
The amounts shown in the bonus rent column represent the estimated bonus rent effect of including the revenues generated from the Capital Additions at Wellington and Bridgeway that have not been previously included in the bonus rent paid to us pursuant to the terms of the leases since the Capital Additions were financed and owned by UHS. The bonus rent amounts reflected above were based on the net revenues generated at each facility during 2005. Future bonus rents earned by us on the Capital Additions will be based on the actual net revenues of each facility.
Page 7 of 26
During the second quarter of 2006, as part of the overall arrangement, UHS agreed not to exercise its purchase options under the leases at the end of the then current lease terms, which would have resulted in a cash payment to us and the termination of the rental stream with respect to the properties, and likely would have adversely affected our ability to maintain the dividend at current levels. Alternatively, UHS agreed to early five year renewals of the leases between us and each of Inland Valley, Wellington and McAllen Medical Center, which were scheduled to mature on December 31, 2006, and Bridgeway, which was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2009, on the same economic terms as the current leases. To reflect the lease renewals, on April 24, 2006, we and each of the individual lessees entered into amended and restated leases relating to their respective individual properties at the existing lease rates. On July 21, 2006, the closing date of the exchange and substitution, to reflect the rents payable on the Capital Additions at each of the Wellington, Bridgeway and Inland Valley campus properties, we entered into amended and restated leases with each of the individual lessees relating to their respective individual properties.
Pursuant to the Master Lease, which governs all leases of properties with subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the right to purchase the leased properties at the end of each lease term at each propertys fair market value purchase price. As part of the overall exchange and substitution proposal, as well as the early five year lease renewals on Inland Valley, Wellington, McAllen and Bridgeway, we agreed to amend the Master Lease to include a change of control provision and a provision granting UHS the right to purchase each of the leased properties, at their fair market value purchase price, on one months notice to us in the event such change of control occurs.
After giving effect to the exchange and substitution, and the various lease renewals discussed above, subsidiaries of UHS will lease four hospital facilities owned by us with terms expiring in 2011 through 2014. The table below details the renewal options and terms for each of the four UHS hospital facilities:
Hospital Name |
Type of Facility | Annual Minimum Rent |
End of Lease Term |

The Bridgeway |
Behavioral Health | $ | 930,000 | December, 2014 | 10 | (c) |
(a) | UHS has four 5-year renewal options at existing lease rates (through 2031). |
(b) | UHS has two 5-year renewal options at existing lease rates (through 2021) and two 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2022 through 2031). |
(c) | UHS has two 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2015 through 2024). |
(d) | Excludes potential incremental rent on Capital Additions in excess of FMV of Chalmette. |
Pursuant to the terms of the leases with subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the option to renew the leases at the lease terms described above by providing notice to us at least 90 days prior to the termination of the then current term. UHS also has the right to purchase the respective leased facilities at the end of the lease terms or any renewal terms at the appraised market value. In addition, UHS has the rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for 180 days after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for 180 days after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer.
In McAllen, Texas, the location of our largest facility, McAllen Medical Center (which is operated by a subsidiary of UHS), intense competition has continued from other healthcare providers, including physician owned facilities. A physician-owned hospital in the market added new in-patient capacity in late 2004 which has eroded a portion of the facilitys higher margin business, including cardiac procedures. As a result, the facility has experienced significant declines in patient volume and profitability. In response to these competitive pressures, UHS has, among other things, undertaken significant capital investment in the market including a new dedicated 120-bed childrens facility, which was completed and opened during the first quarter of 2006, as well as a 134-bed replacement behavioral health facility, which was completed and opened during the second quarter of 2006. We do not have an ownership interest in the real estate assets of either of these newly constructed UHS facilities. A continuation of the increased provider competition in this market, as well as the additional capacity currently under construction, by UHS and others, could result in additional erosion of the net revenues and financial operating results of McAllen Medical Center which may negatively impact the bonus rents earned by us on this facility and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms (current lease expires in December, 2011) and the underlying value of the property.
During the third quarter of 2004, Wellington Regional Medical Center, our 121-bed acute care facility located in West Palm Beach, Florida, sustained storm damage caused by a hurricane. This facility is leased by a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS and pursuant to the terms of the lease, UHS is responsible for maintaining replacement cost property insurance for the facility, a substantial portion of which is insured by a commercial carrier. The facility did not experience significant business

interruption. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, UHS incurred $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in replacement costs in connection with this property. Since these additional costs have also been recovered from UHS, $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, were included in net income during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, UHS spent a total of approximately $6.6 million to replace the damaged property at this facility and this amount is reflected as buildings and improvements on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The repairs to the facility were completed as of December 31, 2005.
The combined revenues generated from the leases on the five UHS hospital facilities (including Chalmette) accounted for approximately 48% of our total consolidated revenues for both of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Including the revenues generated at the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 98%, the combined revenues generated from the five UHS hospital facilities, as a percentage of our total consolidated and unconsolidated revenues, accounted for approximately 24% for both of the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and 24% and 25% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition, five medical office buildings owned by LLCs in which we hold various non-controlling equity interests, include tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS.
UHS has the option to purchase our shares of beneficial interest at fair market value to maintain a 5% interest in the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, UHS owned 6.7% of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest.
We have been advised by UHS that UHS, together with its South Texas Health System affiliates, which operate McAllen Medical Center, were served with a subpoena dated November 21, 2005, issued by the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services. The Civil Division of the U.S. Attorneys office in Houston, Texas has indicated that the subpoena is part of an investigation under the False Claims Act of compliance with Medicare and Medicaid rules and regulations pertaining to the employment of physicians and the solicitation of patient referrals from physicians from January 1, 1999 to the date of the subpoena related to the South Texas Health System. UHS has informed us that it is cooperating in the investigation and is producing documents in response to the subpoena. UHS has advised us that it monitors all aspects of its business and that is has developed a comprehensive ethics and compliance program that is designed to meet or exceed applicable federal guidelines and industry standards. Because the law in this area is complex and constantly evolving, governmental investigation or litigation may result in interpretations that are inconsistent with industry practices, including UHSs. This matter is at an early stage and UHS has advised us that it is unable to evaluate the existence or extent of any potential financial exposure at this time.
UHS is subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC and is required to file annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. Since the lessees of five of our hospital facilities (including Chalmette) are subsidiaries of UHS which, on a combined basis, comprised 48% of our consolidated revenues for both of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, and since UHS is our Advisor, you are encouraged to obtain the publicly available filings for Universal Health Services, Inc. from the SECs website at www.sec.gov.
(3) Dividends
A dividend of $.565 per share or $6.7 million in the aggregate was declared by the Board of Trustees on June 1, 2006 and was paid on June 30, 2006 to shareholders of record as of June 15, 2006.
(4) Acquisitions and Dispositions
During the first six months of 2006:
We invested or advanced $8.6 million in unconsolidated LLCs as follows:
| $1.7 million of equity funded to the LLC that constructed and owns the Sierra San Antonio Medical Plaza, located in Fontana, California, in which we have a 95% non-controlling equity interest. We have committed to invest a total of up to $3.5 million in equity in this LLC, of which $2.6 million has been funded to date. The LLC also obtained a $7.5 million third-party construction loan, which is non-recourse to us. This project was completed and opened during the first quarter of 2006; |
| $2.2 million of debt financing and $60,000 of equity funded to a LLC that will develop, construct, own and operate the Spring Valley Hospital Medical Office Building II, located in Las Vegas, Nevada on the campus of a UHS facility, in which we have a 95% non-controlling equity interest. We have committed to invest a total of up to $11.0 million ($3.0 million in equity, $60,000 of which has been funded as of June 30, 2006, and $8.0 million in debt financing, $2.2 million of which has been funded as of June 30, 2006). This project, tenants of which may include subsidiaries of UHS, is scheduled to be completed and opened during the first quarter of 2007; |

| $450,000 of equity funded to the LLC that constructed and owns the Saint Marys Professional Office Building located in Reno, Nevada, in which we have a 75% non-controlling equity interest. We have committed to invest a total of $8.0 million in equity, of which $5.0 million has been funded to date. The LLC also obtained a $29 million third-party mortgage that is non-recourse to us; |
| $235,000 of additional equity funded to the LLC that owns the 700 Shadow Lane & Goldring MOBs located in Las Vegas, Nevada, in which we have a 98% non-controlling equity interest; |

| $532,000 of additional equity funded to the LLC that owns the Desert Samaritan Hospital Medical Office Buildings located in Mesa, Arizona, in which we have a 76% non-controlling equity interest; |
| $630,000 advance made to Rio Rancho Medical Center, an existing LLC in which we have a 80% non-controlling equity interest; |
| $1.5 million of equity and $363,000 of debt financing funded to the LLC that will develop, construct, own and operate the Phoenix Childrens East Valley Care Center, located in Gilbert, Arizona, in which we have a 95% non-controlling equity interest. We have committed to invest a total of up to $6.6 million ($1.6 million in equity, of which $1.5 million has been funded as of June 30, 2006 and $5.0 million in debt financing, of which $363,000 has been funded as of June 30, 2006). This project is scheduled to be completed and opened during the third quarter of 2007, and; |
| $540,000 advance and $180,000 of equity funded to a master LLC which governs four unconsolidated LLCs in which we have a 90% non-controlling equity interest. |
We received $1.1 million of repaid advances previously provided to a LLC in which we have a 33% non-controlling equity interest.
Additionally, during the second quarter of 2006, we received $3.1 million as repayment on a note receivable relating to the sale of our interest in a LLC which owned the St. Jude Heritage Health Complex during the fourth quarter of 2005. This transaction resulted in a $1.9 million gain which was deferred in 2005 and recognized as income during the second quarter of 2006 when the cash proceeds were received by us.
(5) Financial Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges
At June 30, 2006, we had one outstanding swap agreement for a notional principal amount of $10 million which matured in July, 2006, and has not been renewed. This swap agreement effectively fixed the interest rate on $10 million of variable rate debt at 6.88% including the revolver spread of 1.00%. Termination of the interest rate swap at June 30, 2006 would have resulted in a payment to the counterparty of approximately $20,000. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement at June 30, 2006 reflects the estimated amounts that we would pay to terminate the contract and are based on a quote from the counterparty.
During the first quarter of 2005, based on revised borrowing forecasts, one of our interest rate swap agreements was deemed to be ineffective. In connection with this ineffective interest rate swap agreement, we recorded a net loss of $252,000 which was included in interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and consisted of the following: (i) a loss of $515,000 representing the amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) as of January 1, 2005, and; (ii) a gain of $263,000 to recognize the change in fair value of this derivative during the six months ended June 30, 2005. This swap agreement was terminated during the second quarter of 2005 and a termination fee of $319,000 was paid.
With respect to the active $10 million swap agreement, we recorded in AOCI increases of $32,000 and $126,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively and $80,000 and $213,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, to recognize the change in fair value of the effective portion of the derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument. Such income or losses will be reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings, such as when the forecasted interest payments occur. It is expected that approximately $20,000 of net losses in AOCI will be reclassified into earnings during July, 2006. The maximum amount of time over which we are hedging a portion of our exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is through July, 2006.

(7) Stock-Based Compensation
At June 30, 2006, we have two stock-based compensation plans. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R Share-Based Payments and related interpretations and began expensing the grant-date fair value of stock options including dividend equivalent rights (DERs). Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense was reflected in net income for stock option grants, as all options granted under the plan had an original exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The estimated impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R is expected to reduce our net income by approximately $82,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, of which $21,000 and $43,000 was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The pro forma impact of expensing stock options and DERs would have reduced net income by approximately $57,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 based on the disclosures required by SFAS No. 123.
We adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method and therefore we have not restated prior periods. Under this transition method, compensation costs associated with stock options and DERs recognized in 2006 includes amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of stock option and DER awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, and will include amortization expense related to new awards granted after January 1, 2006. There have been no new options or DERs issued during 2006.
The expense associated with share-based compensation arrangements is a non-cash charge. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, share-based compensation expense is an adjustment to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities, which is included in other, net on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
A combined total of 400,000 shares and DERs have been reserved for issuance under our 1997 Incentive Plan, a stock option plan for employees, officers and trustees of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, there have been 137,000 stock options and DERs granted and 263,000 shares and DERs were available for future grant.
For stock options and DERs granted prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, to our stock option and DER plans is shown in the table below. We recognize compensation cost related to restricted share awards over the respective vesting periods. As of June 30, 2006, there were no unvested restricted share awards outstanding.

The exercise price equals the market price of our stock on the date of grant. Options under our plan generally vest ratably over four years, and have a life of ten years from the date of grant.
Compensation cost is generally recognized using the straight-line method over the stated vesting period of the award. As of January 1, 2006, there was $225,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options and DERs expected to be recognized over a period of approximately four years. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compensation cost of $21,000 and $43,000, respectively, was recognized related to outstanding stock options and DERs scheduled to vest after January 1, 2006. The fair value of the options granted or vesting after January 1, 2006 was estimated using the Black Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumption ranges:
Expected volatility |
17.1 | % | |
Expected dividend yield (a.) |
0.0 | % | |
Expected life (in years) |

(8) Summarized Financial Information of Equity Affiliates
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our controlled investments and those investments that meet the criteria of a variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary as a result of our level of investment in the entity. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 78-9 Accounting for
Page 12 of 26
Investments in Real Estate Ventures and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 96-16, Investors Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights, we account for our investments in LLCs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. These investments, which represent 33% to 98% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to, and distributions from, the investments.
We have considered the impact of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 04-5, Investors Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, and have determined that it is not applicable to our structure.
We follow the provisions of the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation, as revised (FIN 46R), addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. As a result of our related party relationship with UHS, and certain master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements between UHS and various properties owned by three LLCs in which we own non-controlling ownership interests ranging from 95% to 99%, these LLCs are considered to be variable interest entities. In addition, we are the primary beneficiary of these LLC investments as a result of our level of investment in the entities. Consequently, we consolidate the results of operations of these three LLC investments. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R. During 2006, upon expiration of a master lease relating to a LLC, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements with UHS, one of these variable interest entities will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting and will therefore be included in our results of operations on an unconsolidated basis.
Rental income is recorded by our consolidated and unconsolidated MOBs relating to leases in excess of one year in length using the straight-line method under which contractual rents are recognized evenly over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. The amount of rental revenue resulting from straight-line rent adjustments is dependent on many factors, including the nature and amount of any rental concessions granted to new tenants, scheduled rent increases under existing leases, as well as the acquisition and sales of properties that have existing in-place leases with terms in excess of one year. As a result, the straight-line adjustments to rental revenue may vary from period-to-period. Pursuant to certain agreements, allocations of profits and losses of some of the LLC investments may be allocated disproportionately as compared to ownership interest after specified preferred return rate thresholds have been satisfied.
Since January 1, 1995 through June 30, 2006, we have invested $64.3 million of cash (including advances to various LLCs) in LLCs in which we own various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 99% (consolidated and unconsolidated), before reductions for cash distributions received from the LLCs. As of June 30, 2006, short-term unsecured advances aggregated $4.2 million due from five LLCs. Including the cumulative adjustments for our share of equity in the net income of the LLCs and cash contributions to and distributions from these investments, our net investment in these LLCs was $36.5 million, as reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2006.
As of June 30, 2006, we had investments or commitments in twenty-four LLCs, twenty-one of which are accounted for by the equity method and three that were consolidated into the results of our operations. The following tables represent summarized financial and other information related to the LLCs which were accounted for under the equity method:

Pursuant to the operating agreements of the LLCs, the third-party member and the Trust, at any time, have the right to make an offer (Offering Member) to the other member(s) (Non-Offering Member) in which it either agrees to: (i) sell the entire ownership interest of the Offering Member to the Non-Offering Member (Offer to Sell) at a price as determined by the Offering Member (Transfer Price), or; (ii) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Non-Offering Member (Offer to Purchase) at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The Non-Offering Member has 60 days to either: (i) purchase the entire ownership interest of the Offering-Member at the Transfer Price, or; (ii) sell its entire ownership interest to the Offering Member at the equivalent proportionate Transfer Price. The closing of the transfer must occur within 60 days of the acceptance by the Non-Offering Member.
The LLCs in which we have invested maintain property insurance on all properties. Although we believe that generally our properties are adequately insured, two of the LLCs in which we own various non-controlling equity interests, own properties in California that are located in earthquake zones. These properties, in which we have invested a total of $5.1 million, are no longer covered by earthquake insurance since earthquake insurance is no longer available at rates which are economical in relation to the risks covered.
(9) Segment Reporting
Our primary business is investing in and leasing healthcare and human service facilities through direct ownership or through joint ventures. We actively manage our portfolio of healthcare and human service facilities and may from time to time make decisions to sell lower performing properties not meeting our long-term investment objectives. The proceeds of sales are typically reinvested in new developments or acquisitions, which we believe will meet our planned rate of return. It is our intent that all healthcare and human service facilities will be owned or developed for investment purposes. Our revenue and net income are generated from the operation of our investment portfolio.
Our portfolio is located throughout the United States; however, we do not distinguish or group our operations on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or measuring performance. We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis, therefore, we define an operating segment as our individual properties. Individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature and economics of the facilities, tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term average financial performance.

We assume no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except as may be required by law. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require us to make significant judgments and estimates when we prepare our financial statements, including the following:
Revenue Recognition Our revenues consist primarily of rentals received from tenants, which are comprised of minimum rent (base rentals), bonus rentals and reimbursements from tenants for their pro-rata share of expenses such as common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and utilities.
The minimum rent for all hospital facilities is fixed over the initial term or renewal term of the respective leases. Rental income recorded by our consolidated and unconsolidated MOBs relating to leases in excess of one year in length is recognized using the straight-line method under which contractual rents are recognized evenly over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. The amount of rental revenue resulting from straight-line rent adjustments is dependent on many factors including the nature and amount of any rental concessions granted to new tenants, scheduled rent increases under existing leases, as well as the acquisitions and sales of properties that have existing in-place leases with terms in excess of one year. As a result, the straight-line adjustments to rental revenue may vary from period-to-period. Bonus rents are recognized when earned based upon increases in each facilitys net revenue in excess of stipulated amounts. Bonus rentals are determined and paid each quarter based upon a computation that compares the respective facilitys current quarters net revenue to the corresponding quarter in the base year. Tenant reimbursements for operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred.
Investments in Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) Our consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of our controlled investments and those investments that meet the criteria of a variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary as a result of our level of investment in the entity. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 78-9 Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 96-16, Investors Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights, we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. These investments, which represent 33% to 98% non-controlling ownership interests, are recorded initially at our cost and subsequently adjusted for our net equity in the net income, cash contributions to, and distributions from, the investments.
Pursuant to certain agreements, allocations of profits and losses of some of the LLC investments may be allocated disproportionately as compared to ownership interests after specified preferred return rate thresholds have been satisfied.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation, as revised (FIN 46R), addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. As a result of our related party relationship with UHS, and certain master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements between UHS and various properties owned by three LLCs in which
Page 17 of 26
we own non-controlling ownership interests ranging from 95% to 99%, these LLCs are considered to be variable interest entities (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, we are the primary beneficiary of these LLC investments as a result of our level of investment in the entities. Consequently, we consolidate the results of operations of these three LLC investments. There was no impact on our net income as a result of the consolidation of these LLCs. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R. During 2006, upon expiration of a master lease relating to a LLC, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements with UHS, one of these variable interest entities will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting and will therefore be included in our results of operations on an unconsolidated basis.
Federal Income Taxes No provision has been made for federal income tax purposes since we qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the IRC and intend to continue to remain so qualified. As such, we are exempt from federal income taxes and we are required to distribute at least 90% of our real estate investment taxable income to our shareholders.
We are subject to a federal excise tax computed on a calendar year basis. The excise tax equals 4% of the amount by which 85% of our ordinary income plus 95% of any capital gain income for the calendar year exceeds cash distributions during the calendar year, as defined. No provision for excise tax has been reflected in the financial statements as no tax was due.
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, will differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal tax purposes in the cost basis of assets and in the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and the recording of provision for investment losses.
Relationship with UHS and Related Party Transactions
UHS is our principal tenant and through UHS of Delaware, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of UHS, serves as our advisor (the Advisor) under an Advisory Agreement dated December 24, 1986 between the Advisor and us (the Advisory Agreement). Our officers are all employees of UHS and as of June 30, 2006, we had no salaried employees.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to us, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to us), to provide administrative services to us and to conduct our day-to-day affairs. In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal, tax and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by us. The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees that the Advisors performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by us or the Advisor.
The Advisory Agreement has been renewed for 2006. All transactions with UHS must be approved by the Independent Trustees.
The Advisor is entitled to certain advisory and incentive fees for its services. No incentive fees were paid during the three or six months ended June 30, 2006 or 2005. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year end, based upon our audited financial statements.
The leases on the five UHS hospital facilities (including Chalmette) leased to wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS comprised approximately 48% of our total consolidated revenues for both three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Including 100% of the revenues generated at the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 98%, the combined revenues generated from the five wholly-owned UHS hospital facilities, as a percentage of our consolidated and unconsolidated revenues, accounted for approximately 24% for both of the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and 24% and 25% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition, five medical office buildings owned by LLCs in which we hold various non-controlling equity interests, include tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS. The leases to the hospital facilities of UHS are guaranteed by UHS and cross-defaulted with one another.
During the third quarter of 2005, Chalmette Medical Center (Chalmette), our two story, 138-bed acute care hospital located in Chalmette, Louisiana, was severely damaged and closed as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The majority of the real estate assets of Chalmette were leased from us by a subsidiary of UHS and, in accordance with the terms of the lease, and as part of an overall evaluation of the leases between subsidiaries of UHS and us, UHS elected to offer substitution properties rather than exercise its right to rebuild the facility or offer cash for Chalmette. Independent appraisals were obtained by us and UHS which indicated that the pre-hurricane fair market value of the leased facility was $23,965,000 (FMV of Chalmette).
Page 18 of 26
During the second quarter of 2006, we agreed to terminate the lease between Chalmette and us and to transfer the real property assets and all rights attendant thereto (including insurance proceeds) of Chalmette to UHS in exchange and substitution for newly constructed real property assets owned by UHS (Capital Additions) at Wellington Regional Medical Center (Wellington), The Bridgeway (Bridgeway) and Southwest Healthcare System-Inland Valley Campus (Inland Valley), in satisfaction of the obligations under the Chalmette lease. The exchange and substitution package, which has an estimated total value of approximately $25 million, was completed during the third quarter of 2006 and includes the following Capital Additions, as defined in the Master Lease Document, by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 (the Master Lease), which were recently constructed on, or adjacent to, facilities already owned by us as well as a Capital Addition at Inland Valley which is currently under construction and expected to be completed by the end of 2006. Since the estimated total value of the substitution package is expected to exceed the FMV of Chalmette, the excess amount will be paid to UHS in cash upon completion of the Inland Valley Capital Additions. UHS is obligated to complete the Inland Valley Capital Addition or, subject to our approval, offer to either provide alternative substitution property or pay to us an amount in cash equal to the substitution value of the Capital Addition. To accomplish the exchange and substitution, on April 24, 2006, we entered into an Asset Exchange and Substitution Agreement with UHS and certain subsidiaries.

$4,072,000 (Actual construction costs, which approximate fair value) | |

$12,160,000 (Estimated construction costs, which approximate fair value) |
Our Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2005 included a property write-down charge of $6.3 million representing the net book value of the Chalmette property, excluding the land. The $6.3 million property charge was offset in 2005 by an equal amount recoverable from UHS and is included as Property Damage Receivable from UHS on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2006. The land has a book value of $2 million which is included as Land Held for Exchange on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2006. As a result of the exchange and substitution, we expect to record the excess of the FMV of Chalmette ($24.0 million) over the combined book value of the Property Damage Receivable from UHS and the Land Held for Exchange ($8.3 million in total), as income in the period the exchanged and substituted assets are transferred to us. Pursuant to section 1033(a)(1) of the IRC, we will recognize no gain for federal income tax purposes to the extent we receive from UHS only the Capital Additions outlined above as replacement property for the Chalmette property destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the total rent earned by us under the Chalmette lease was approximately $1.6 million to $1.7 million annually (including base and bonus rental). The total rent payable to us on the Capital Additions included in the substitution package (excluding the rent on the Capital Additions in excess of the FMV of Chalmette) is expected to closely approximate the total rent earned by us under the Chalmette lease. UHS will pay incremental rent on the Capital Additions in excess of the FMV of Chalmette at a rate equal to the prevailing five-year treasury rate plus 200 basis points at the time of funding (minimum rate 6.75%). Below is the estimated rent allocation of the substitution properties, excluding the incremental rent on the Capital Additions in excess of the FMV of Chalmette.

$ | 534,504 | $ | 67,744 | $ | 602,248 | |||

Total: |
$ | 1,522,316 | $ | 94,684 | $ | 1,617,000 | |||
The amounts shown in the bonus rent column represent the estimated bonus rent effect of including the revenues generated from the Capital Additions at Wellington and Bridgeway that have not been previously included in the bonus rent paid to us pursuant to the terms of the leases since the Capital Additions were financed and owned by UHS. The bonus rent amounts reflected above were based on the net revenues generated at each facility during 2005. Future bonus rents earned by us on the Capital Additions will be based on the actual net revenues of each facility.
During the second quarter of 2006, as part of the overall arrangement, UHS agreed not to exercise its purchase options under the leases at the end of the then current lease terms, which would have resulted in a cash payment to us and the termination of the rental stream with respect to the properties, and likely would have adversely affected our ability to maintain the dividend at current levels. Alternatively, UHS agreed to early five year renewals of the leases between us and each of Inland Valley, Wellington and McAllen Medical Center, which were scheduled to mature on December 31, 2006, and Bridgeway, which was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2009, on the same economic terms as the current leases. To reflect the lease renewals, during the second quarter of 2006, we and each of the individual lessees entered into amended and restated leases relating to their respective, individual properties at the existing lease rates. On July 21, 2006, the closing date of the exchange and substitution, to reflect the rents payable on the Capital Additions at each of the Wellington, Bridgeway and Inland Valley campus properties, we entered into amended and restated leases with each of the individual lessees relating to their respective individual properties.
After giving effect to the Asset Exchange and Substitution Agreement which was executed on July 21, 2006, and the various lease renewals discussed above, subsidiaries of UHS will lease four hospital facilities owned by us with terms expiring in 2011 through 2014. The table below details the renewal options and terms for each of the four UHS hospital facilities:

(b) | UHS has two 5-year renewal options at existing lease rates (through 2021) and two 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2022 through 2031). |
(c) | UHS has two 5-year renewal options at fair market value lease rates (2015 through 2024). |
(d) | Excludes potential incremental rent on Capital Additions in excess of FMV of Chalmette |
Pursuant to the Master Lease, which governs all leases of properties with subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the right to purchase the leased properties at the end of each lease term at each propertys fair market value purchase price. As part of the overall exchange and substitution proposal, as well as the early five year lease renewals on Inland Valley, Wellington, McAllen and Bridgeway, we agreed to amend the Master Lease to include a change of control provision and a provision granting UHS the right to purchase each of the leased properties, at their fair market value purchase price, on one months notice to us in the event such change of control occurs.
See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosure regarding the related party relationship with UHS.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Stock Based Compensation: As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recorded for stock options issued at fair market value.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions), eliminating the alternative previously allowed by SFAS No. 123 to use the intrinsic value method of accounting. The grant date fair value will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of the instruments using methods similar to those required by SFAS No. 123 and which were used by us to calculate pro forma net income and earnings per share disclosures. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R), the cost will be recognized ratably over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), we recognized $21,000 and $43,000 as compensation cost in our financial statements on the unvested portion of existing options and DERs granted prior to the effective date for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. We have not issued any options or DERs since the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R). However, under the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R), the cost of stock options granted to employees after the effective date will also be based on the fair value of the stock options at grant date. We are using the Black-Scholes model as our option pricing model for applying SFAS 123(R) and have used the modified prospective transition method in adopting the standard. The estimated fair value of the stock option and DER is amortized to expense over the requisite service period; additional options and DERs may be granted in future years.
Results of Operations
For the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, net income totaled $6.9 million and $6.2 million or $.58 and $.52 per diluted share, respectively, on revenues of $8.3 million for both periods. Favorably impacting net income and net income per diluted share during the second quarter of 2006 was the recognition of a previously deferred gain on $1.9 million, or $.16 per diluted share, resulting from the sale of our interest in an unconsolidated LLC during the fourth quarter of 2005. Favorably impacting net income and net income per diluted share during the second quarter of 2005 was a gain of $1.2 million or $.10 per diluted share, related to the recovery of replacement costs of real estate assets at Wellington Regional Medical Center that were damaged by hurricanes during 2004.
For the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, net income totaled $11.8 million and $13.8 million or $1.00 and $1.16 per diluted share, on revenues of $16.7 million and $16.8 million, respectively. Included in net income during the six month period ended June 30, 2006 is the recognition of a previously deferred gain of $1.9 million, or $.16 per diluted share, as discussed above. Included in net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 was a gain of $1.0 million, or $.09 per diluted share, resulting from the sale of real property by an unconsolidated LLC and a gain of $2.7 million, or $.23 per diluted share, related to the recovery of replacement costs of real estate assets at Wellington Regional Medical Center.
Page 20 of 26
Included in our other operating expenses are expenses related to the consolidated medical office buildings, which totaled $1.3 million for both three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and $2.7 million and $2.5 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. A portion of the expenses associated with our consolidated medical office buildings is passed on directly to the tenants. Tenant reimbursements for operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred and are included as tenant reimbursement revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
Interest expense decreased $222,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the comparable prior year quarter, due primarily to interest earned on the $3.1 million note receivable from the sale of our ownership interest in a LLC and a decrease in our average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by an increase in our average cost of funds. Interest expense decreased $630,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the prior year six month period, due primarily to: (i) a net charge during the first quarter of 2005 of $252,000 related to an interest-rate swap agreement that became ineffective based upon the forecasted borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and; (ii) a decrease of approximately $378,000 due primarily to the interest earned on the note receivable as mentioned above and a decrease in our average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by an increase in our average cost of funds.
As of June 30, 2006, we have investments or commitments in twenty-four LLCs, twenty-one of which are accounted for by the equity method and three that are consolidated in the results of operations in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46R (FIN 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. As a result of our related party relationship with UHS, and certain master lease, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements between UHS and various properties owned by three LLCs in which we own non-controlling ownership interests ranging from 95% to 99%, these LLCs are considered to be variable interest entities. In addition, we are primary beneficiary of these LLC investments as a result of our level of investment in the entities. Consequently, we consolidate the results of operations of these three LLC investments. The remaining LLCs are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R. During 2006, upon expiration of a master lease relating to a LLC, lease assurance or lease guarantee arrangements with UHS, one of these variable interest entities will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting and will therefore be included in our results of operations on an unconsolidated basis.
During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we recorded equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs of $2.5 million and $815,000, respectively. Included during the second quarter of 2006, was the recognition of a previously deferred gain of $1.9 million recorded in connection with the sale of our ownership interest in a LLC during the fourth quarter of 2005. Excluding this gain from the second quarter of 2006, our equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs decreased $135,000 as compared to the second quarter of 2005 due primarily to the losses incurred by a newly constructed medical office building (MOB) that opened in March of 2006. Equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs was $3.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $2.8 million during the comparable prior year period. Included during the six months of 2006 was the $1.9 million gain, as mentioned above, and included during the six months of 2005 was a $1.0 million gain realized on the sale of real property by a LLC. Excluding these gains from the six month periods of both years, our equity in income from unconsolidated LLCs decreased $348,000 during the six months of 2006 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to the losses incurred by the recently opened MOB, as mentioned above, as well decreases in income at various other MOBs.
Funds from operations (FFO), is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. Although FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, we believe that information regarding FFO is helpful to shareholders and potential investors. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we interpret the definition. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income, determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO should not be used as: (i) an indication of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP; (ii) as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) as a measure of our liquidity; (iv) nor is FFO an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.
Below is a reconciliation of our reported net income to FFO for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.2 million and $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The $190,000 net increase was attributable to:
| an unfavorable change of $310,000 due to a decrease in net income plus or minus the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities (depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of property by a LLC, gain on sale of our interest in a LLC, property damage recovered from UHS and net loss on ineffective cash flow hedge); |
| a favorable change of $226,000 in rent receivable; |
| a favorable change of $222,000 in accrued expenses and other liabilities, and; |
| $52,000 of other favorable changes. |

Net cash (used in)/provided by investing activities was ($4.4 million) during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2006, we funded equity investments of $4.8 million, issued $3.8 million of advances to LLCs, spent $638,000 on capital additions to certain of our real estate investments. During the six month period ended June 30, 2006, we received $1.1 million from a LLC for partial repayment of an advance, $3.1 million of cash proceeds related to the sale of our interest in a LLC, $371,000 of cash distributions in excess of income from our unconsolidated LLCs and $304,000 of cash proceeds related to debt refinancing by LLCs .
During the six month period ended June 30, 2005, we funded equity investments of $6.3 million (including $2.4 million related to two new LLC agreements) in LLCs in which we own non-controlling equity interests, issued $1.5 million of advances to LLCs and spent $720,000 on capital additions to certain of our real estate investments.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2006, we had net debt borrowings of $4.3 million on our revolving line of credit, paid $13.3 million of dividends, paid $322,000 on mortgage notes payable that are non-recourse to us and generated $143,000 of cash from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through our available working capital and net cash provided by operations. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to allow us to make any distributions necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRC.
Credit facilities and mortgage debt
We have an unsecured $80 million revolving credit agreement (the Agreement) which expires on May 28, 2007. We have a one-time option, which can be exercised at any time, subject to obtaining additional commitments from lenders, to increase the amount by $20 million for a total commitment of $100 million. The Agreement provides for interest at our option, at the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% to 1.40% or the prime rate plus zero to .40%. A fee of .25% to .35% is paid on the unused portion
Page 22 of 26
of this commitment. The margins over the Eurodollar rate, prime rate and the commitment fee are based upon our debt to total capital ratio as defined by the Agreement. At June 30, 2006, the applicable margin over the Eurodollar rate was 1.00% and the commitment fee was .25%. At June 30, 2006, we had $14.3 million of outstanding borrowings and $7.5 million of letters of credit outstanding against the Agreement. There are no compensating balance requirements. The Agreement contains a provision whereby the commitments will be reduced by 50% of the proceeds generated from any new equity offering. At June 30, 2006, we had approximately $58.2 million of available borrowing capacity under this agreement.
Covenants relating to the revolving credit facility require the maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth and specified financial ratios, limit our ability to incur additional debt and limit the aggregate amount of our mortgage receivables. We are in compliance with such covenants at June 30, 2006.
We have four mortgages, which are non-recourse to us, included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2006 with a combined outstanding balance of $25.2 million. These mortgages carry various interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 8.3% and have maturity dates ranging from 2006 through 2010. The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents.
