UNIVERSAL HEALTH REALTY INCOME TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2009

(unaudited)

(1) General

This Report on Form 10-Q is for the Quarterly Period ended June 30, 2009. 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- Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, under Forward Looking Statements and Certain Risk Factors as disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2009 and as outlined in Item 1A-Risk Factors as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Those factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any of our forward-looking statements.

The deterioration in general economic conditions has not yet had a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations. However, our future results of operations could be unfavorably impacted by continued deterioration in general economic conditions which could result in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or uninsured. Should that occur, it may result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings as well as a reduction in the revenues earned by the operators of our hospital facilities which would unfavorably impact our future bonus rentals (on the UHS hospital facilities) and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms and the underlying value of the hospital properties. Additionally, the general real estate market has been unfavorably impacted by the deterioration in economic and credit market conditions which may adversely impact the underlying value of our properties. The ongoing tightening in the credit markets and the instability in the banking and financial institutions has not had a material impact on us. However, there can be no assurance that continued deterioration in credit market conditions will not have a material unfavorable impact on our ability to finance our future growth through borrowed funds.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the term “revenues” does not include the revenues of the unconsolidated limited liability companies (“LLCs”) in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 99%. We currently account for our share of the income/loss from these investments by the equity method (see Note 5). As of June 30, 2009, we had investments or commitments in thirty LLCs, twenty-seven of which are accounted for by the equity method and three that are currently consolidated in our financial statements.

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC 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, 2008. 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

Leases: We commenced operations in 1986 by purchasing the real property of certain subsidiaries from UHS and immediately leasing the properties back to the respective subsidiaries. Most of the leases were entered into at the time we commenced operations and provided for initial terms of 13 to 15 years with up to six additional 5-year renewal terms, with base rents set forth in the leases effective for all but the last two renewal terms. The base rents are paid monthly and each lease also provides for additional or bonus rents which 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.

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the UHS hospital facilities accounted for approximately 51% and 56% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 52% and 57% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Including 100% of the revenues generated at the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 99%, the leases on the UHS hospital facilities accounted for approximately 20% and 23% of the combined consolidated and unconsolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 20% and 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, ten medical office buildings (“MOBs”), plus two additional MOBs currently under construction, owned by LLCs in which we hold various non-controlling equity interests, include or will include tenants which are subsidiaries of UHS.

Pursuant to the Master Lease Document by and among us and certain subsidiaries of UHS, dated December 24, 1986 (the “Master Lease”), which governs the leases of all hospital properties with subsidiaries of UHS, UHS has the option to renew the leases at the lease terms described below by providing notice to us at least 90 days prior to the termination of the then current term. In addition, UHS has 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. 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 fair market value. In addition, during 2006, as part of the overall asset exchange and substitution proposal relating to Chalmette Medical Center (“Chalmette”), as well as the early five year lease renewals on Southwest Healthcare System-Inland Valley Campus (“Inland Valley”), Wellington Regional

Table of Contents

Medical Center (“Wellington”), McAllen Medical Center (“McAllen”) and The Bridgeway (“Bridgeway”), we agreed to amend the Master Lease to include a change of control provision. The change of control provision grants UHS the right, upon one month’s notice should a change of control of the Trust occur, to purchase any or all of the four leased hospital properties at their appraised fair market value.

The table below details the renewal options and terms for each of the four UHS hospital facilities:

(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).

We are committed to invest up to a total of $7.4 million in equity and debt financing, of which $3.5 million has been funded as of June 30, 2009, in exchange for a 95% non-controlling equity interest in an LLC (Palmdale Medical Properties) that constructed, owns, and operates the Palmdale Medical Plaza, located in Palmdale, California, on the campus of a UHS hospital. This MOB has a triple net, 75% master lease commitment by UHS of Palmdale, Inc., a subsidiary of UHS, pursuant to the terms of which the master lease for each suite will be cancelled at such time that the suite is leased for a minimum term of five years to another tenant acceptable to the LLC and UHS of Palmdale, Inc. This MOB, tenants of which will include subsidiaries of UHS, was completed and opened during the third quarter of 2008 at which time the master lease commenced. Based upon the executed leases and letter of intent commitments in place as of June 30, 2009, the master lease threshold of 75% has not been met. The LLC has a third-party term loan commitment of $9.9 million, which is non-recourse to us, of which $8.3 million has been borrowed as of June 30, 2009. This LLC, which is deemed to be a variable interest entity, is consolidated in our financial statements as of June 30, 2009 since we are the primary beneficiary.

We are committed to invest up to $5.4 million in debt or equity, of which $238,000 has been funded as of June 30, 2009, in exchange for a 95% non-controlling equity interest in an LLC (Banburry Medical Properties) that developed, constructed, owns and operates the Summerlin Medical Office Building III, located in Las Vegas, Nevada, on the campus of a UHS hospital. Summerlin Hospital Medical Center (“Summerlin Hospital”), a subsidiary of UHS, has committed to lease approximately 25% of this building pursuant to the terms of a 10-year flex lease. In addition, Summerlin Hospital has committed to a 50% master lease on the remaining 75% of the building (representing 37.5% of the building) pursuant to the terms of which the master lease for each suite will be cancelled at such time that the suite is leased for a minimum term of five years to another tenant acceptable to the LLC and Summerlin Hospital. This MOB, tenants of which will include subsidiaries of UHS, was completed and opened during the first quarter of 2009 at which time the master lease commenced. Based upon the executed leases and letter of intent commitments in place as of June 30, 2009, the master lease threshold has not been met. The LLC has a third-party construction loan commitment of $14.4 million, which is non-recourse to us, of which $12.1 million has been borrowed as of June 30, 2009. This LLC, which is deemed to be a variable interest entity, is consolidated in our financial statements as of June 30, 2009 since we are the primary beneficiary.

We are committed to invest up to a total of $4.8 million in equity and debt financing, of which $352,000 has been funded as of June 30, 2009, in exchange for a 95% non-controlling equity interest in an LLC that will develop construct, own and operate the Texoma Medical Plaza located in Denison, Texas, on the campus of a replacement UHS acute care hospital. Texoma Medical Center (“Texoma Hospital”), a subsidiary of UHS, has committed to lease 75% of this building, pursuant to which the master lease for each suite will be cancelled at such time that the suite is leased to another tenant acceptable to the LLC and Texoma Hospital. This MOB, tenants of which will include subsidiaries of UHS, is scheduled to be completed and opened during the first quarter of 2010, at which time the master lease will commence. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, this LLC obtained a third-party construction loan commitment of $13.3 million, which is non-recourse to us, none of which has been borrowed as of June 30, 2009. As this LLC is not considered to be a variable interest entity, it is accounted for under the equity method.

We are committed to invest up to a total of $4.7 million in equity and debt financing, of which $4.5 million has been funded as of June 30, 2009, in exchange for a 95% non-controlling equity interest in an LLC that will develop construct, own and operate the Auburn Medical Office Building II, located in Auburn, Washington, on the campus of a UHS hospital. Auburn Regional Medical Center (“Auburn Hospital”), a subsidiary of UHS, has committed to lease 75% of this building, pursuant to which the master lease for each suite will be cancelled at such time that the suite is leased to another tenant acceptable to the LLC and Auburn Hospital. This MOB, tenants of which will include subsidiaries of UHS, is scheduled to be completed and opened during the fourth quarter of 2009, at which time the master lease will commence. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, this LLC obtained a third-party construction loan commitment of $8.4 million, which is non-recourse to us, none of which has been borrowed as of June 30, 2009. As this LLC is not considered to be a variable interest entity, it is accounted for under the equity method.

At that time, the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s office in Houston, Texas indicated that the subpoena was part of an investigation under the False Claims Act regarding 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. On February 16, 2007, UHS’s South Texas Health System affiliates were served with a search warrant in connection with what UHS had been advised was a related criminal Grand Jury investigation concerning the production of documents. At that time, the government obtained various documents and other property related to the facilities. Follow-up Grand Jury subpoenas for documents and witnesses and other requests for information were subsequently served on South Texas Health System facilities and certain UHS employees and former employees.

UHS has advised us that they have received notification from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) that, at this time, the DOJ will not be pursuing criminal prosecutive action against UHS or its South Texas Health System affiliates. The DOJ is still investigating whether or not any individuals independently obstructed justice as it relates to the civil subpoena dated November 21, 2005. The Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s office in Houston, Texas continued its investigation focused on certain arrangements entered into by the South Texas Health System affiliates which, the government believes, may have violated Medicare and Medicaid rules and regulations pertaining to payments to physicians and the solicitation of patient referrals from physicians and other matters relating to payments to various individuals which may have constituted improper payments. UHS cooperated with the investigations and is responding to the matters raised with them. UHS has been negotiating a possible settlement of this matter with the government. UHS expects to continue its discussions with the government to attempt to resolve this matter in a manner satisfactory to UHS and the government. During 2008, UHS recorded a pre-tax charge of $25 million to establish a reserve in connection with this matter and they reserved an additional $3 million during 2009. Also during 2009, UHS recorded a $4 million unfavorable discrete tax item to reflect the estimated nondeductible portion of the amount reserved. There is no assurance that a settlement can be reached in connection with this matter, and, should a settlement be reached, UHS is unable, at this time, to determine the ultimate settlement amount. If UHS is ultimately unable to reach a settlement, UHS is unable, at this time, to determine the extent of the total financial and/or other exposure to them in connection with this matter.

UHS has advised us that it monitors all aspects of its business and that it 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 UHS’s. Although UHS believes its policies, procedures and practices comply with governmental regulations, from time to time UHS is subjected to inquiries or actions with respect to its facilities and there is no assurance that UHS will not face sanctions, fines or penalties in connection with such inquiries or actions, including with respect to the investigation of its South Texas Health System affiliates. Even if UHS were to ultimately prevail, the government’s inquiry and/or action in connection with this matter could have a material adverse effect on UHS’s future operating results and on the future operating results of McAllen Medical Center. While the base rentals are guaranteed by UHS through the end of the existing lease term, should this matter adversely impact the future revenues and/or operating results of McAllen Medical Center, the future bonus rental earned by us on this facility may be materially, adversely impacted. Bonus rental revenue earned by us from McAllen Medical Center amounted to $1.7 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and $1.9 million during 2006. We can provide no assurance that this matter will not have a material adverse impact on the underlying value of McAllen Medical Center or on the future base rental earned on this facility should the existing lease not be renewed at its current lease rate upon the scheduled expiration of the existing lease term in December, 2011.

Advisory Agreement: 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 31 of each year; however, it is renewable by us, subject to a determination by the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS (the “Independent Trustees”), that the Advisor’s 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 2009. 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 0.60% 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. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to an annual incentive fee equal to 20% of the amount by which cash available for distribution to shareholders for each year, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, exceeds 15% of our equity as shown on our consolidated balance sheet, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles without reduction for return of capital dividends. The Advisory Agreement defines cash available for distribution to shareholders as net cash flow from operations less deductions for, among other things, amounts required to discharge

our debt and liabilities and reserves for replacement and capital improvements to our properties and investments. Advisory fees incurred and paid (or payable) to UHS amounted to $389,000 and $376,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $779,000 and $743,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No incentive fees were paid in either period.

Officers and Employees: Our officers are all employees of UHS and although as of June 30, 2009 we had no salaried employees, our officers do receive stock-based compensation from time-to-time.

Share Ownership: As of June 30, 2009, UHS owned 6.6% of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest.

SEC reporting requirements of UHS: 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 leases on the hospital facilities leased to wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS comprised approximately 51% and 56% of our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 52% and 57% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and since a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor, you are encouraged to obtain the publicly available filings for UHS, Inc. from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. These filings are the sole responsibility of UHS and are not incorporated by reference herein.

(3) Dividends

A dividend of $.595 per share or $7.1 million in the aggregate was declared by the Board of Trustees on June 4, 2009 and was paid on June 30, 2009 to shareholders of record as of June 16, 2009.

(4) Acquisitions and Dispositions

Six Months Ended June 30, 2009:

There were no acquisitions or dispositions during the first six months of 2009.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008:

In February, 2008, we purchased Kindred Hospital, Corpus Christi, an unaffiliated long-term sub-acute care hospital located in Corpus Christi, Texas for a total purchase price of $8.1 million. We paid $4.7 million in cash and assumed $3.4 million of third-party mortgage debt that is non-recourse to us. The lease payments on this facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Kindred Healthcare, Inc. until its scheduled expiration in June, 2019. The proforma effect of this acquisition did not have a material impact on our results of operations. The purchase price of this property was allocated to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on fair value indications. Intangible assets include amounts representing the value of the tenant relationship and the in-place lease at the time of acquisition.

There were no dispositions during the first six months of 2008.

(5) Summarized Financial Information of Equity Affiliates

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. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 78-9 “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” as amended by FASB Staff Position SOP 78-9-1 Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 and EITF Issue No. 04-5“, Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) 96-16, “Investor’s 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” and EITF 04-5 “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights“ we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. The third-party members in these investments have equal voting rights with regards to issues such as, but not limited to: (i) divestiture of property; (ii) annual budget approval, and; (iii) financing commitments. These investments, which represent 33% to 99% 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.

Pursuant to the provisions of FIN 46R, Palmdale Medical Properties, in which we own a 95% non-controlling equity ownership interest, 653 Town Center Phase II, in which we own a 98% non-controlling equity ownership interest and Banburry Medical Properties, in which we own a 95% non-controlling equity ownership interest, are considered to be variable interest entities and are consolidated in our results of operations since we are the primary beneficiary. The other LLCs in which we hold various non-controlling ownership interests are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R.

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.

As of June 30, 2009, we had investments or commitments in thirty LLCs, twenty-seven of which are accounted for by the equity method and three, as mentioned above, that are consolidated. The following tables represent summarized financial and other information related to the LLCs which were accounted for under the equity method:

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.

(6) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities: In June 2008, FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. The FSP concludes that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities under FASB No. 128, Earnings Per Share and should be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula used to determine earnings per share for each class of common stock according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The adoption of this FSP, effective January 1, 2009, did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements: In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments: In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 changes the method for determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment exists for debt securities and the amount of the impairment to be recorded in earnings. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments: In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1, APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (FSP FAS 107-1, APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1, APB 28-1 requires fair value disclosures in both interim as well as annual financial statements in order to provide more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. FSP FAS 107-1, APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The carrying amount and fair value of our long-term debt was $35.5 million and $35.6 million, respectively, at June 30, 2009.

Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly: In April, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” (FSP FAS 157-4). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and includes guidance for identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This guidance is necessary to maintain the overall objective of fair value measurements, which is that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Subsequent Events: In May, 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 provides general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. We adopted SFAS No. 165 during the second quarter of 2009 and evaluated subsequent events through August 7, 2009.

The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162: In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. We do not expect this standard to impact our consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R): In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” (FIN 46(R)) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration

event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 becomes effective on January 1, 2010. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS 167 on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140: In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” (SFAS 166). SFAS 166 amends various provisions of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125,” by removing the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and removes the exception from applying FIN 46(R) to variable interest entities that are qualifying special-purpose entities; limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset; defines a participating interest; requires a transferor to recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer accounted for as a sale; and requires enhanced disclosure; among others. SFAS 166 becomes effective on January 1, 2010. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS 166 on our consolidated financial statements.

(7) Segment Reporting

Our primary business is investing in and leasing healthcare and human service facilities through direct ownership or through joint ventures, which aggregate into a single reportable segment under SFAS 131. 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.

Forward Looking Statements and Certain Risk Factors

This report contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our current estimates, expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, the information concerning our possible future results of operations, business and growth strategies, financing plans, expectations that regulatory developments or other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, our competitive position and the effects of competition, the projected growth of the industry in which we operate, and the benefits and synergies to be obtained from our completed and any future acquisitions, and statements of our goals and objectives, and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. 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, identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or our good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Such factors include, among other things, the following:

 

   

a substantial portion of our revenues are dependent upon one operator, Universal Health Services, Inc., (“UHS”);

 

   

a subsidiary of UHS is our Advisor and our officers are all employees of UHS, which may create the potential for conflicts of interest;

 

   

lost revenues from purchase option exercises and lease expirations and renewals, loan repayments and other restructuring;

 

   

the availability and terms of capital to fund the growth of our business;

 

   

the outcome of known and unknown litigation, government investigations, and liabilities and other claims asserted against us or the operators of our facilities, including the government’s ongoing investigation of UHS’s South Texas Health Systems affiliates, which includes McAllen Medical Center, as described herein;

 

   

the potential unfavorable impact on our business of continued deterioration in national, regional and local economic and business conditions, including a continuation or worsening of unfavorable credit market conditions;

 

   

the continued deterioration in general economic conditions which could result in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or insured and likely increase the number of individuals without health insurance; as a result, the operators of our facilities may experience decreases in patient volumes which could result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings;

 

   

a worsening of the economic and employment conditions in the United States could materially affect the business of our operators, including UHS which may unfavorably impact our future bonus rentals (on the UHS hospital facilities) and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms and the underlying value of the hospital properties;

 

   

the deterioration of credit and capital markets may adversely affect our access to sources of funding and we cannot be certain of the availability and terms of capital to fund the growth of our business when needed;

 

   

our majority ownership interests in various LLCs in which we hold non-controlling equity interests;

real estate market factors, including without limitation, the supply and demand of office space and market rental rates, changes in interest rates as well as an increase in the development of medical office condominiums in certain markets;

 

   

government regulations, including changes in the reimbursement levels under the Medicare and Medicaid program;

 

   

the issues facing the health care industry that affect the operators of our facilities, including UHS, such as: changes in, or the ability to comply with, existing laws and government regulations; unfavorable changes in the levels and terms of reimbursement for our charges by third party payors or government programs, including Medicare or Medicaid; demographic changes; the ability to enter into managed care provider agreements on acceptable terms; an increase in uninsured and self-pay patients which unfavorably impacts the collectibility of patient accounts; decreasing in-patient admission trends; technological and pharmaceutical improvements that may increase the cost of providing, or reduce the demand for, health care, and; the ability to attract and retain qualified medical personnel, including physicians;

 

   

three LLCs that own properties in California, in which we have various non-controlling equity interests, could not obtain earthquake insurance at rates which are economically beneficial in relation to the risks covered;

 

   

competition for our operators from other REITs;

 

   

competition from other health care providers, including physician owned facilities and other facilities owned by UHS, including, but not limited to, McAllen, Texas, the site of our largest acute care facility;

 

   

changes in, or inadvertent violations of, tax laws and regulations and other factors than can affect REITs and our status as a REIT;

 

   

fluctuations in the value of our common stock, and;

 

   

other factors referenced herein or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Given these uncertainties, risks and assumptions, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Our actual results and financial condition, including the operating results of our lessees and the facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS, could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 medical office buildings (“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 facility’s net revenue in excess of stipulated amounts. Bonus rentals are determined and paid each quarter based upon a computation that compares the respective facility’s current quarter’s 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.

Real Estate Investments: We account for our property acquisitions under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). Under SFAS No. 141R, the purchase price of a property is allocated to the property’s land, buildings and intangible assets based upon our estimates of their fair values. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the buildings and capital improvements. The value of intangible assets is amortized as real estate amortization over the remaining lease term.

Asset Impairment: Real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property might not be recoverable. A property to be held and used is considered impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows, less estimated capital expenditures, to be

 

16


Table of Contents

generated by the property, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying value of the property. This estimate takes into consideration factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, local market conditions and other factors.

The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by management, including the expected course of action at the balance sheet date that would lead to such cash flows. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in anticipated action to be taken with respect to the property could impact the determination of whether an impairment exists and whether the effects could materially impact our net income. To the extent estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.

Assessment of the recoverability by us of certain lease related costs must be made when we have reason to believe that a tenant might not be able to perform under the terms of the lease as originally expected. This requires us to make estimates as to the recoverability of such costs.

An other than temporary impairment of an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture is recognized when the carrying value of the investment is not considered recoverable based on evaluation of the severity and duration of the decline in value, including projected declines in cash flows. To the extent impairment has occurred, the excess carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

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. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 78-9 “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” as amended by FASB Staff Position SOP 78-9-1 Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 and EITF Issue No. 04-5“, Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) 96-16, “Investor’s 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” and EITF 04-5 “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights“ we account for our unconsolidated investments in LLCs which we do not control using the equity method of accounting. The third-party members in these investments have equal voting rights with regards to issues such as, but not limited to: (i) divestiture of property; (ii) annual budget approval, and; (iii) financing commitments. These investments, which represent 33% to 99% 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 we own non-controlling ownership interests ranging from 95% to 98%, these three LLCs were considered to be variable interest entities and are therefore included in our consolidated financial statements on a consolidated basis since we are the primary beneficiary. One of these consolidated LLCs owns a medical office building which was completed and opened during the first six months of 2009.

The other LLCs in which we hold various non-controlling ownership interests are not variable interest entities and therefore are not subject to the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R.

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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 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 Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) — 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 although as of June 30, 2009 we had no salaried employees, our officers do receive stock-based compensation from time-to-time.

Table of Contents

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 who are unaffiliated with UHS, that the Advisor’s 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 2009. All transactions between us and UHS must be approved by the Independent Trustees. The Advisor is entitled to certain advisory fees for its services. See “Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. and Related Party Transactions” in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Advisory Agreement and related fees.

The combined revenues generated from the leases on the UHS hospital facilities accounted for approximately 51% and 56% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 52% and 57% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Including 100% of the revenues generated at the unconsolidated LLCs in which we have various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 99%, the leases on the UHS hospital facilities accounted for approximately 20% and 23% of the combined consolidated and unconsolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 20% and 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, ten medical office buildings (“MOBs”) (plus two additional MOB currently under construction) owned by LLCs in which we hold various non-controlling equity interests, include or will 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. For additional disclosure related to our relationship with UHS, please refer to Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements—Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and Related Party Transactions.

Results of Operations

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, net income was $4.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, as compared to $4.2 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, during the comparable prior year quarter. The increase in net income of $643,000, or $.05 per diluted share, during the second quarter of 2009, as compared to the comparable quarter of the prior year, was primarily attributable to:

 

   

a favorable change of approximately $530,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, resulting from an increase in equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs, and;

 

   

other combined net favorable changes of approximately $113,000, or $0.01 per diluted share.

The favorable change of approximately $530,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, in income of unconsolidated LLCs was primarily due to: (i) a favorable adjustment resulting from a change in estimate to the operating expenses of an LLC; partially offset by; (ii) the operating losses sustained during the second quarter of 2009 at an LLC that owns a newly constructed MOB that was completed and opened in April of 2009.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, net income was $9.4 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, as compared to $8.3 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, during the comparable six-month period of the prior year. The increase in net income of $1.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, during the six month period of 2009, as compared to the comparable six month period of the prior year, was primarily attributable to:

 

   

a favorable change of approximately $725,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, resulting from an increase in equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs, as discussed above;

 

   

a favorable change of approximately $100,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, resulting from an increase in bonus rental from UHS facilities, and;

 

   

other combined net favorable changes of approximately $300,000, or $0.03 per diluted share.

Total revenue increased approximately $800,000 to $8.0 million during the second quarter of 2009, as compared to $7.2 million during the second quarter of 2008. Approximately $600,000 of the increase was attributable to the revenues generated at Palmdale Medical Plaza and Summerlin Hospital Medical Office Building III which opened during the third quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009, respectively. Total revenue increased approximately $1.7 million to $15.9 million during the six month period of 2009, as compared to $14.2 million during the six month period of 2008. Approximately $1.0 million of the increase was attributable to the revenues generated at Palmdale Medical Plaza and Summerlin Hospital Medical Office Building III, as mentioned above. The additional $700,000 increase in revenue is primarily attributable to combined favorable changes at several consolidated MOBs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $137,000 and $269,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the comparable prior year periods, respectively, due primarily to the expense recorded in connection with the above-mentioned, recently opened MOBs.

Interest expense, net of interest income, increased $157,000 and $239,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the comparable prior year periods, respectively, due primarily to an increase in our average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in our average borrowing rate. The increased borrowings were used primarily to fund the investments in LLCs, as discussed herein.

Included in our other operating expenses are expenses related to the consolidated medical office buildings, which totaled $1.2 million and $919,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2.4 million and $1.8 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increases in other operating expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, are primarily attributable to: (i) the opening of Palmdale Medical Plaza during the third quarter of 2008; (ii) the opening of Summerlin Hospital Medical Office Building III during the first quarter of 2009, and; (iii) an increase in general maintenance expenses at various MOBs. 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.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs of $959,000 and $429,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded equity in income of unconsolidated LLCs of $1.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The increases during the three and six month periods of 2009, as compared to the comparable 2008 period, were primarily due to various favorable variances at several of our unconsolidated LLCs, including a favorable adjustment resulting from a change in estimate to the operating expenses of an LLC, partially offset by operating losses sustained during the second quarter of 2009 at an LLC that owns a newly constructed MOB that was completed and opened during the second quarter of 2009.

Funds from operations is a widely recognized measure of performance for Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”). We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) and funds from operations per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures (“GAAP” is Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America), are helpful to our investors as measures of our operating performance. 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. 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) an alternative to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP; (iii) a measure of our liquidity, or; (iv) 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, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.3 million and $10.5 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The $1.8 million net increase was attributable to:

 

 

a favorable change of $1.4 million due to an increase in net income plus or minus the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities (depreciation and amortization);

 

19


Table of Contents
 

a favorable change of $1.1 million in rent receivable primarily resulting from the timing of base rental payments by UHS;

 

 

an unfavorable change of $271,000 in accrued expenses and other liabilities, and;

 

 

an unfavorable change of $392,000 in tenant reserves, escrows, deposits and prepaid rents.

The $271,000 unfavorable change in accrued expenses and other liabilities resulted primarily from the partial settlement of accrued dividend rights during the six months ended June 30, 2009, partially offset by various other favorable changes. In order to meet certain recent changes to tax law requirements, the current payment of dividend equivalents will be made in the years in which dividends are declared and paid, or, if later, when the related options become vested. Dividend equivalents that were accrued as of December 31, 2008, with respect to previously vested options, were paid in January, 2009.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $13.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $11.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2009, we funded: (i) $11.4 million of equity investments; (ii) $2.0 million of advances to LLCs; (iii) $4.3 million of capital additions consisting primarily of construction costs related to a new MOB in Las Vegas, Nevada, which opened during the first quarter of 2009, and a $753,000 deposit made in connection with the refurbishment of an MOB. Also during the six month period ended June 30, 2009, we received: (i) $2.8 million related to debt refinancing by LLCs; (ii) $106,000 in repayments of advances to LLCs, and; (iii) $2.3 million of cash distributions in excess of income from our unconsolidated LLCs.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2008, we funded $1.7 million of equity investments, funded $1.6 million of advances to LLCs, spent $2.3 million on capital additions consisting primarily of construction costs related to the MOB in Palmdale California, spent $4.7 million on the acquisition of real property and advanced $4.0 million to our third-party partners, as discussed below. Also during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, we received: (i) $1.3 million related to debt refinancing by LLCs, and; (ii) $1.5 million of cash distributions in excess of income from our unconsolidated LLCs.

During the first six months of 2008, we advanced $4.0 million to our third-party partners in a certain LLC in connection with a $4.0 million loan agreement. This loan is a non-amortizing loan with interest paid on a quarterly basis. The interest rate on this loan is: (i) 4.25% plus LIBOR, or; (ii) if information to determine LIBOR is not available, three hundred seventy-five basis points over the then existing borrowing cost. The loan has a stated maturity date of 2012, although it may be prepaid without penalty and is secured by various forms of collateral, including personal guarantees from each of the partners to the loan, as well as their ownership interest in the LLC. Interest on this loan agreement has been paid to us through June, 2009.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2009, we received: (i) $13.3 million of additional net borrowings on our revolving line of credit; (ii) $2.9 million of additional net borrowings from mortgage, construction and other loans payable of consolidated LLCs, and; (iii) $420,000 of cash from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, we paid: (i) $107,000 on mortgage notes payable that are non-recourse to us; (ii) $213,000 as partial settlement of accrued dividend rights, as discussed above, and; (iii) $14.1 million of dividends.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2008, we received: (i) $14.6 million of additional net borrowings on our revolving line of credit; (ii) $200,000 of additional net borrowings from mortgage, construction and other loans payable of consolidated LLCs; (iii) $65,000 of additional net borrowings from our third-party partner, and; (iv) $216,000 of cash from the issuance of shares of beneficial interest. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2008, we paid: (i) $13.8 million of dividends, and; (ii) paid $89,000 on mortgage notes payable that are non-recourse to us.

A dividend of $0.595 per share was paid on June 30, 2009 to shareholders of record as of June 16, 2009.

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 Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Credit facilities and mortgage debt

In January 2007, we entered into a new unsecured $100 million revolving credit agreement (the “Agreement”) which expires on January 19, 2012. We have a one-time option, which can be exercised at any time, subject to bank approval, to increase the amount by $50 million for a total commitment of $150 million. The Agreement provides for interest at our option, at the Eurodollar rate plus 0.75% to 1.125%, or the prime rate plus zero to .125%. A fee of 0.15% to 0.225% is paid on the unused portion of the commitment. The margins over the Eurodollar, prime rate and the commitment fee are based upon our debt to total capital ratio as defined by the Agreement. As of June 30, 2009, the applicable margin over the Eurodollar rate was 0.75%, the margin over the prime rate was zero, and the commitment fee was 0.15%.

At June 30, 2009, we had $52.3 million of outstanding borrowings and $16.6 million of letters of credit outstanding against the Agreement. We had $31.1 million of available borrowing capacity, net of the outstanding borrowings and letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2009. 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.

Covenants relating to the Agreement require the maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth and specified financial ratios, limit our ability to incur additional debt, limit the aggregate amount of mortgage receivables and limit our ability to increase dividends in excess of 95% of cash available for distribution, unless additional distributions are required to comply with the applicable section of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations governing real estate investment trusts. We are in compliance with all of the covenants at June 30, 2009. We also believe that we would remain in compliance if the full amount of our commitment was borrowed.

We have three mortgages, one term loan and one construction loan, all of which are non-recourse to us, included on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009, with a combined outstanding balance of $35.5 million. The mortgages are secured by the real property of the buildings as well as property leases and rents. The following table summarizes our outstanding mortgages, term loan and construction loan at June 30, 2009 (amounts in thousands):

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

General economic and credit market conditions – The deterioration in the general economic conditions has not yet had a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations. However, our future results of operations could be unfavorably impacted by continued deterioration in general economic conditions which could result in increases in the number of people unemployed and/or uninsured. Should that occur, it may result in decreased occupancy rates at our medical office buildings as well as a reduction in the revenues earned by the operators of our hospital facilities which would unfavorably impact our future bonus rentals (on the UHS hospital facilities) and may potentially have a negative impact on the future lease renewal terms and the underlying value of the hospital properties. Additionally, the general real estate market has been unfavorably impacted by the deterioration in economic and credit market conditions which may adversely impact the underlying value of our properties. The ongoing tightening in the credit markets and the instability in the banking and financial institutions has not had a material impact on us. However, there can be no assurance that continued deterioration in credit market conditions will not have a material unfavorable impact on our ability to finance our future growth through borrowed funds.

Health Care Reform — An increasing number of legislative initiatives have been introduced or proposed in recent years that would result in major changes in the health care delivery system on a national or a state level. Among the proposals that have been introduced are price controls on hospitals, insurance market reforms to increase the availability of group health insurance to small businesses, requirements that all businesses offer health insurance coverage to their employees and the creation of government health insurance plans that would cover all citizens and increase payments by beneficiaries. The operators of our facilities, including UHS, cannot predict whether any of the above proposals or other proposals will be adopted and, if adopted, no assurances can be given that their implementation will not have a material adverse effect on the businesses, financial condition and/or results of operations of our tenants.

There are no other material changes in our risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
