Highlight of Business Operations:
Potential Recognition of Deferred Income - During 1988, we sold the assets of eight long-term health care centers to National Health Corporation (National), our administrative general partner at the time of the sale. The resulting profit of $15,745,000 was deferred. $10,000,000 of the deferred gain and related deferred income taxes of $4,000,000 were recognized as income in December 2007 with the collection of the $10,000,000 note from National. $3,745,000 of the deferred gain has been amortized into income on a straight-line basis over the 20-year management contract period. Additional deferred income of $2,000,000 will be recognized when the Company no longer has an obligation to advance a $2,000,000 working capital loan which obligation has been extended until January 20, 2018 with the extension of the management agreement with National to that date.Total costs and expenses for the 2010 second quarter compared to the 2009 second quarter increased $7,182,000 or 4.7% to $161,017,000 from $153,835,000.
