NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 1997 (Unaudited) Note 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The unaudited financial statements furnished herein in the opinion of the management 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 "Company"). NHI assumes that users of the interim financial statements herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the preceding fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 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 the Company's most recent annual report to stockholders have been omitted. The interim financial information contained herein is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year because of various reasons including changes in interest rates, rents and the timing of debt and equity financings. Note 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE Primary earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares result from the dilutive effect of stock options computed using the treasury stock method. Net income is reduced by dividends to holders of cumulative convertible preferred stock. Fully diluted earnings per share assumes, in addition to the above, the conversion of convertible subordinated debentures, the conversion of cumulative convertible preferred stock and the exercise of all stock options using the treasury stock method. Net income is increased for interest expense on the convertible subordinated debentures. The following table summarizes the earnings and the average number of common shares and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share. 7

NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 1997 (Unaudited) Note 3. COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES: At June 30, 1997, NHI was committed, subject to due diligence and financial performance goals, to fund approximately $254,030,000 in health care real estate projects of which approximately $123,199,000 is expected to be funded within the next 12 months. The commitments include mortgage loans or purchase leaseback agreements for 21 long-term care centers, seven retirement centers, three medical office buildings, and 16 assisted living facilities, all at rates ranging from 10.0% to 11.7%. Also included in the $254,030,000 of commitments is a $22,300,000 commitment secured by first mortgages on 43 long-term care centers. Draws on the $22,300,000 commitment are limited to $3,700,000 annually. Additionally, the total commitments includes a $42,231,000 commitment to fund mortgage loans for nine assisted living centers, none of which is expected to be funded in 1997. Also, included in the $254,030,000 of commitments is an agreement to fund a total of $100,000,000 in mortgage and purchase leaseback transactions. The commitment will be funded at a maximum of $30,000,000 per year with no carryover of any commitment not used in a given year. At June 30, 1997, $95,300,000 of the total $100,000,000 commitment remains outstanding. NHI has recorded deferred income for commit- ment fees related to these loans where applicable. In order to obtain the consent of appropriate lenders to NHC's transfer of assets to NHI, NHI guaranteed certain debt ($22,718,000 at June 30, 1997) of NHC. The debt is at fixed and variable interest rates with a weighted average interest rate of 8.4% at June 30, 1997. NHI receives from NHC compensation of approximately $114,000 per annum for the guarantees which is credited against NHC's base rent requirements. In management's opinion, these guarantee fees approximate the guarantee fees that NHI would currently charge to enter into similar guarantees. All of the guaranteed indebtedness discussed above is secured by first mortgages and rights which may be enforced if either party is required to pay under their respective guarantees. NHC has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless NHI against any and all loss, liability or harm incurred by NHI as a result of having to perform under its guarantee of any or all of the guaranteed debt. Also additionally, NHI has also guaranteed bank loans in the amount of $2,076,000 to key employees and directors which amount was utilized for the exercise of NHI stock options. Shares of NHI stock are held as security by NHI and the loans are limited to $100,000 per individual per year. 9

The Notes mature on July 16, 2007 and have no sinking fund provisions. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of NHI and rank equal with NHI's other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. NHI agrees in the note indenture that it will limit liens on assets to certain percentages of tangible assets and that it will limit the issuance of new debt to certain multiples of capital or net worth. Note 5. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES: On January 29, 1997, NHI sold $60,000,000 of 7% convertible subordinated debentures (the "1997 debentures") due on February 1, 2004. The 1997 debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at a conversion price of $37.50, subject to adjustment. The 1997 debentures will not be redeemable prior to February 8, 2002 except in the event of certain tax-related events or to the extent necessary to preserve and protect NHI's status as a real estate investment trust. The 1997 debentures are subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all senior indebtedness of NHI. Interest is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. NHI has reserved 1,600,000 shares of common stock for conversions of 1997 debentures. At June 30, 1997, $53,677,000 of 7.75% convertible subordinated debentures (the "1995 debentures") remain outstanding. The 1995 debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into the common stock of NHI at a conversion price of $31.625, subject to adjustment. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, $21,217,000 of the 1995 debentures have been converted into 670,884 shares of common stock. NHI has reserved 1,697,296 shares of common stock for conversions of 1995 debentures. At June 30, 1997, debentures in the amount of $6,406,000, bearing interest at 7% (the "1995 debt service debentures") have been issued to mortgagees or lessees to satisfy debt service escrow requirements. The debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of 110% of the market price on the date of issuance of the debentures, subject to adjustment. At June 30, 1997, none of the debentures have been converted. At June 30, 1997, $6,675,000 of 7.375% convertible subordinated debentures (the "1993 debentures") remain outstanding. The 1993 debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into the common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $27.25 per share, subject to adjustment. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, $2,460,000 of the 1993 debentures were converted into 90,270 shares of common stock. The Company has reserved 244,954 shares of common stock for conversion of the 1993 debentures. 10
NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 1997 (Unaudited) At June 30, 1997, $230,000 of the 10% senior convertible subordinated debentures (the "senior debentures") remain outstanding. The senior debentures are convertible into the common stock of the Company at $20 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, $70,000 of the senior debentures were converted into 3,500 shares of common stock. The Company has reserved 11,500 shares of common stock for conversion of the senior debentures. Note 6. CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK In February and March, 1994, NHI issued $109,558,000 of 8.5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") with a liquidation preference of $25 per share. Dividends at an annual rate of $2.125 are cumulative from the date of issuance and are paid quarterly. At June 30, 1997 $22,608,000 of the preferred stock remains outstanding. The Preferred Stock is convertible into NHI common stock at the option of the holder at any time at a conversion price of $27.625 per share of common stock, which is equivalent to a conversion rate of 0.905 per share of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Preferred Stock is not redeemable by NHI prior to February 15, 1999 and is not redeemable for cash. On or after February 15, 1999, the Preferred Stock will be redeemable by NHI for common stock. NHI may redeem the Preferred Stock only if the trading price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) exceeds $27.625 per share for 20 trading days within a period of 30 trading days prior to the exercise. NHI has reserved 818,389 shares of common stock for Preferred Stock conversions. The Preferred Stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol "NHIPr." Note 7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure", ("SFAS 129"). SFAS 129 establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital structure. NHI will be required to adopt SFAS 129 in the fourth quarter of 1997. Management does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on NHI's financial position, results of options or cash flow. 11
NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 1997 (Unaudited) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share", ("SFAS 128"), has been issued effective for fiscal periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. NHI is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997. Under the standards established by SFAS 128, earnings per share is measured at two levels: basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares after considering the additional dilution related to preferred stock, convertible debt, options and warrants. Management does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on NHI's financial position, results of operation or cash flows. Note 8. STOCK OPTION PLAN On January 15, 1997, NHI granted options to purchase 194,000 shares of NHI at $36.00 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, options to purchase 35,315 shares of NHI were exercised at exercise prices ranging from $25.00 to $36.00. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock- based Compensation ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 establishes new financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans. NHI has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123. As a result, no compensation cost has been recognized for NHI's stock option plans. Based on the number of options outstanding and the historical and expected future trends of factors affecting valuation of those options, management believes that any compensation cost attributable to options granted is immaterial. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations Overview National Health Investors, Inc. ("NHI" or the "Company") is a real estate investment trust which invests primarily in income producing health care properties with emphasis on the long-term care sector. As of June 30, 1997, NHI had interests in net real estate owned by it and mortgage investments totaling $763.2 million. NHI's strategy is to invest in health care real estate which generates current income which will be distributed to stockholders. NHI intends to implement this strategy by making mortgage loans and acquiring properties to lease nationwide. 12
NATIONAL HEALTH INVESTORS, INC. June 30, 1997 (Unaudited) As of June 30, 1997, the Company has investments in 253 health care facilities located in 26 states consisting of 207 long-term care facilities, three acute care hospitals, nine medical office buildings, nine assisted living facilities, eight retirement centers, and 17 residential projects for the developmentally disabled. These investments consist of approximately $546.5 million aggregate principal amount of loans to 49 borrowers, $180.6 million of purchase leaseback transactions with five lessees and $36.1 million invested in REMIC pass through certificates backed by first mortgage loans to five operators. Of these 253 facilities, 43 are leased to NHC and nine additional facilities are managed by NHC. (NHC is the Company's investment advisor.) Consistent with its strategy of diversification, the Company has reduced the portion of its portfolio operated by NHC from 100.0% of total real estate assets on October 17, 1991 to approximately 18.3% of total real estate assets on June 30, 1997. Capital Resources and Liquidity NHI has generated net cash from operating activities for the first six months of 1997 in the amount of $41.7 million. The funds were used along with $58.5 million net proceeds from the sale of subordinated convertible debentures, $99.7 million proceeds from the issuance of 7.3% senior unsecured notes, $13.3 million from prepayments and collections of mortgage notes receivable, $39.0 million proceeds from credit facilities and $1.5 million from the sale of common stock to make additional investments in income producing assets and real estate properties totaling approximately $40.2 million, to repay debt and credit facilities of $149.8 million and to pay dividends to stockholders of $36.3 million. During the second quarter NHI received an investment grade rating of BBB- from Standard & Poor's which confirms comparable ratings previously received by Moody's and Duff & Phelps. These ratings have already allowed NHI to lower its costs of both debt and equity capital and expand its financing alternatives. To illustrate, in June, NHI successfully placed its first $100 million public debt offering of 7.3% senior unsecured notes due 2007. The amount available to be drawn on NHI's $100 million revolving line of credit was $100 million at June 30, 1997. The Company's balance sheet was further strengthened by the conversion of $3.6 million of NHI's outstanding convertible preferred stock and $23.7 million of convertible debentures to common equity during the first six months of 1997. NHI's nonconvertible debt as a percentage of total capitalization has been lowered from 45% at the end of 1994 to 30% at December 31, 1996 and to 27% at June 30, 1997. The Company continues into 1997 well positioned to take advantage of new investment opportunities. At June 30, 1997, the Company was committed, subject to due diligence and financial performance goals, to fund approximately $254.0 million in health care real estate projects, of which approximately $123.2 million is expected to be funded within the next 12 months. The commitments include mortgage loans or purchase leaseback agreements for 21 long-term health care centers, seven retirement centers, 16 assisted living centers and three medical office buildings, generally at rates ranging from 10.0% to 11.7%. 13

Results of Operations Three Months ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1996. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 is $18.5 million versus $16.4 million for the same period of 1996, an increase of 12.8%. Fully diluted earnings per common share increased three cents or 4.3% to 72 cents in the 1997 period from 69 cents in the 1996 period. Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased $3.3 million or 13.8% to $27.2 million from $23.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Revenues from mortgage interest income increased $1.5 million or 10.1% in the 1997 period as compared to the 1996 period. Revenues from rental income increased $1.7 million or 22.0% when compared to the same period in 1996. These increases resulted primarily from investments in additional facilities during the last 12 months and increased "revenue participations" and "additional rent" earned under NHI's existing mortgages and leases. Total expenses for the 1997 three month period increased $1.2 million or 15.9% to $8.7 million from $7.5 million for the 1996 three month period. Interest expenses increased $0.8 million or 16.7% in the 1997 three month period as compared to the 1996 three month period. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.4 million or 25.7% when compared to the same period in 1996. General and administrative expenses in 1997 remained constant at $0.9 million when compared to the 1996 period. The increase in interest expense was due to increased debt levels compared to the quarter a year ago. The increase in interest expense was partially offset in part by the conversion of $2.1 million of 7.375% and 7.75% debentures during the three months ended June 30, 1997 and a reduced interest rate on the $100 million term loan and the $100 million revolving line of credit as a result of investment grade ratings. Depreciation increased as a result of the Company's placing of newly constructed assets in service in 1996 and 1995. Six Months ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1996. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 is $36.5 million versus $32.0 million for the same period of 1996, an increase of 13.8%. Fully diluted earnings per common share increased 7 cents or 5.1% to $1.43 per share in the 1997 period from $1.36 per share in the 1996 period. 14

Depreciation increased as a result of the Company's placing of newly constructed assets in service in 1996. Future Growth The Company expects increases in both mortgage interest income and rental income from additional investments in mortgage loans and owned facilities during 1996. The Company expects to continue to make additional investments in health care facilities that would increase interest and rental revenues as well as interest and depreciation expense. Increases in revenues are expected to more than offset increases in associated expenses. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. None Item 2. Changes in Securities.
