year ended December 31, 1999.  ElderTrust began operations on January 30,
1998, upon completion of its initial public offering.  Accordingly, twelve
month 1998 results discussed below have been adjusted to reflect the full
twelve month equivalent results.
    Funds from operations (FFO) for the fourth quarter ended December 31,
1999, totaled $3.2 million, or $0.42 per share, on revenues of $6.9 million.
In comparison, FFO for the fourth quarter of 1998, totaled $3.8 million, or
$0.48 per share, on revenues of $6.3 million.
    Net income for the fourth quarter of 1999 totaled $0.4 million or
$0.06 per basic and diluted share.  In comparison, net income was
$1.0 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable quarter
of 1998.
    For the twelve months ended December 31, 1999, FFO totaled $13.6 million,
or $1.76 per share, on revenues of $28.1 million.  Net income before
extraordinary item for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999 was
$0.2 million or $0.03 per basic and diluted share.  Net loss after the
extraordinary item for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999 was
$(1.0 million), or $(0.14) per basic and diluted share.  For the comparable
period in 1998 adjusted FFO totaled $14.4 million, or $1.83 per basic and
diluted share, on adjusted revenues of $23.2 million and adjusted net income
was $4.3 million, or $0.59 per basic and diluted share.
    The full year 1999 results of operations include a debt restructuring
expense (extraordinary item) in the third quarter of $1.2 million, net of
minority interest of $86,000, in connection with the prepayment of an existing
mortgage loan.
    "This has been a truly productive quarter in that we have reduced the Bank
Credit Facility balance to $40 million and extended the line maturity to June
30, 2001", said D. Lee McCreary, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer.
"1999 was clearly a year during which we successfully overcame many challenges
and we look forward to the promise that the new year provides."
