    Newton, MA  (July 30, 2007):  Senior Housing Properties Trust (NYSE: SNH) today announced its financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, as follows:

Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007:

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, was $20.6 million, or $0.25 per share, compared to net income of $12.7 million, or $0.18 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized (1) an impairment of assets charge of $1.4 million, or $0.02 per share, related to three properties that we later sold during the fourth quarter of 2006 and (2) a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share, related to the $28.2 million redemption of all of SNH’s 10.125% junior subordinated debentures.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, was $34.0 million, or $0.41 per share. This compares to FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 of $27.8 million, or $0.39 per share.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007, includes a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million, or $0.02 per share, related to the purchase and retirement of $20.0 million of SNH’s 8 5/8% senior notes due 2012. Net income for the same period in 2006 includes (1) an impairment of assets charge of $1.4 million, or $0.02 per share, related to three properties that we later sold during the fourth quarter of 2006, (2) a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share, related to the $28.2 million redemption of all of SNH’s 10.125% junior subordinated debentures and (3) a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $5.2 million, or $0.07 per share, related to the $52.5 million redemption of SNH’s 7 7/8% senior notes due 2015.

FFO includes a loss on early extinguishment of debt paid in cash of $1.8 million, or $0.02 per share, related to the purchase and retirement of the senior notes due 2012 described above.

(1)
We compute FFO as shown in the calculation above. This calculation begins with income from continuing operations or, if that amount is the same as net income, with net income.  Our calculation of FFO differs from the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, definition of FFO because we include deferred percentage rent in FFO as discussed in footnote (2) below and we exclude loss on early extinguishment of debt not settled in cash from FFO. We consider FFO to be an appropriate measure of performance for a real estate investment trust, or REIT, along with net income and cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities. We believe that FFO provides useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical costs, such as depreciation expense and gain or loss on sale of properties, FFO can facilitate comparison of current operating performance among REITs.  FFO does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance or liquidity.  FFO is one important factor considered by our board of trustees in determining the amount of distributions to shareholders. Other important factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our status as a REIT, limitations in our revolving credit facility and public debt covenants, the availability of debt and equity capital to us and our expectation of our future performance.
 
(2)
Our percentage rents are generally calculated on an annual basis. We recognize percentage rental income received during the first, second and third quarters in the fourth quarter when all contingencies related to percentage rents are satisfied.  Although recognition of revenue is deferred until the fourth quarter, our FFO calculation for the first three quarters includes estimated amounts of deferred percentage rents with respect to those periods. The fourth quarter calculation of FFO excludes the amounts recognized during the first three quarters.
 
(3)
FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2007, includes a $1.8 million loss for the cash premium paid for our retirement of $20.0 million of our 8 5/8% senior notes due 2012.  FFO of the six months ended June 30, 2006, includes a $4.1 million loss for the cash premium paid for our redemption of $52.5 million of our 7 7/8% senior notes due 2015.
