    KENNETT SQUARE, Pa., March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- ElderTrust (NYSE: ETT), a
health care real estate investment trust, today announced the operating
results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 1998.  ElderTrust
began operations on January 30, 1998, upon the completion of its initial
public offering.  Therefore, the operating results reported for 1998 include
the 11 month period beginning January 30, 1998 and ending December 31, 1998.
    1998 funds from operations (FFO), the generally accepted measure of
operating performance for the real estate investment trust industry, was
$12,356,000 or $1.68 per basic and diluted share.  This represents a full year
FFO equivalent of $1.83 per basic and diluted share.  As calculated by NAREIT,
FFO is defined as net income excluding extraordinary and unusual items, gain
(or loss) on the sale of property, plus depreciation and amortization.
    "This was our first year of operations and during the fourth quarter we
reached our goal of fully investing our available capital and meeting our FFO
goals for the quarter," said Edward Romanov, Jr., President and Chief
Executive Officer of ElderTrust.  "During the year we made two important
acquisitions which were accretive to FFO."
    Net income available to common shareholders for the year totaled
$3,973,000, or $0.54 per basic and diluted share, on revenue of $21,233,000.
Fourth quarter 1998 FFO available to common shareholders totaled $3,538,000,
or $0.48 per basic and diluted share.  Fourth quarter 1998 net income
available to common shareholders totaled $967,000, or $0.13 per basic and
diluted share, on revenue of $6,336,000.
    Dividend payments to common shareholders for the year ended December 31,
1998, totaled $0.973, or $1.46 per share on an annualized basis.
Correspondingly, the 1998 payout ratio on annualized and fourth quarter FFO
was approximately 79% and 76%, respectively.
