The accompanying notes to interim condensed consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these financial statements.



 

Note 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

We, the management of National Health Investors, Inc., believe that the unaudited financial statements to which these notes are attached include all adjustments which are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of National Health Investors, Inc. ("NHI" or the "Company"). We assume that users of these interim financial statements have read or have access to the audited December 31, 2004 financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation, except in regard to material contingencies, may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnotes and other disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in our most recent annual report to stockholders have been omitted. This interim financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, acquisitions and dispositions, changes in interest rates, rents and the timing of debt and equity financings. Our audited December 31, 2004 financial statements are available at our web site: www.nhinvestors.com.

Note 2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In May 2003 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is generally effective for NHI July 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 has not had a material effect on NHI's financial statements.

In December 2003 the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest entities (Revised December 2003) ("FIN 46R"). FIN 46R provides guidance related to identifying variable interest entities (previously known generally as special purpose entities or SPEs) and determining whether such entities should be consolidated. Key to the consolidation determination is whether such entities disperse risks among the parties involved. If those risks are not dispersed, and therefore an enterprise bears the majority of the risks or rewards related to the variable interest entity, it would consolidate that variable interest entity. This Interpretation also provides guidance related to the initial and subsequent measurement of assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interests of newly consolidated variable interest entities and requires disclosures for both the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and other beneficiaries of the entity. This interpretation replaces in its entirety FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, that was issued by the FASB in January 2003. The implementation of FIN 46R was required during the Company's first quarter of 2004. The implementation had no effect on the Company's financial statements.

In December of 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets-An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 ("Statement 153"). Statement 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions, that was issued in 1973. The amendments made by Statement 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have "commercial substance". Previously, Opinion 29 required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. The provisions in Statement 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The Company plans to adopt Statement 153 beginning July 1, 2005. The future effect of Statement 153 on the Company's financial statements will depend on whether the Company enters into certain non-monetary transactions. The Company, however, does not expect the adoption of Statement 153 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB has issued FASB Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("Statement 123R"). The new FASB rule requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company will be required to apply Statement 123R beginning January 1, 2006. The scope of Statement 123R includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statements 123R to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

Note 3. STOCK OPTION PLAN

NHI has stock option plans that provide for the granting of options to key employees and directors of NHI to purchase shares of common stock at a price no less than the market value of the stock on the date the option is granted. Options to purchase 135,000 shares vested immediately upon grant and may be exercised at any time prior to expiration. Options to purchase 15,104 shares vest approximately six years after grant and may be exercised at any time prior to expiration, (formerly during a 30 day vesting period prior to expiration). The term of the options is five years (135,000 shares) or six years (15,104 shares). The following table summarizes option activity:
