    KENNETT SQUARE, Pa., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- ElderTrust (NYSE: ETT), an
equity healthcare REIT, today reported results for the third quarter ended
September 30, 1999.  ElderTrust began operations on January 30, 1998, upon
completion of its initial public offering.  Accordingly, nine month 1998
results discussed below have been adjusted to reflect the full nine month
equivalent results.
    Funds from operations (FFO) for the third quarter ended
September 30, 1999, totaled $3.3 million, or $0.43 per share, on revenues of
$7.0 million.  In comparison, FFO for the third quarter of 1998, which
included $0.8 million in fee income for services no longer provided by the
Company, totaled $4.1 million, or $0.52 per share, on revenues of
$6.3 million.
    Net income before extraordinary item for the third quarter of 1999 totaled
$0.6 million or $0.09 per basic and diluted share.  A $1.2 million
extraordinary expense, net of minority interest, on debt restructuring was
recognized in the third quarter.  The net loss for the third quarter of 1999
totaled $(0.6 million), or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share.  In
comparison, net income was $2.4 million, or $0.32 per basic and diluted share,
for the comparable quarter of 1998.
    For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, FFO totaled $10.4 million,
or $1.34 per share, on revenues of $21.2 million.  Net loss before
extraordinary item for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
$(0.3 million) or $(0.04) per basic and diluted share.  Adjusting for the
previously described extraordinary item, the net loss for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 was $(1.5 million), or $(0.20) per basic and diluted
share.  For the comparable period in 1998 adjusted FFO totaled $10.6 million,
or $1.34 per basic and diluted share, on adjusted revenues of $16.8 million
and adjusted net income before a $2.7 million charge for start-up expenses was
$6.5 million, or $0.88 per basic and diluted share.
    The third quarter 1999 results of operations include debt restructuring
expense of $1.2 million, net of minority interest, a charge that includes a
$1.2 million prepayment penalty on an existing mortgage loan and a $138,000
charge relating to the immediate expensing of deferred loan costs associated
with the reduction of the Bank Credit Facility, net of a minority interest
benefit of $86,000.
    In addition, the Company announced that its Board of Trustees had
authorized the payment on or about November 12, 1999, to shareholders of
record on October 29, 1999, of a quarterly distribution covering the first
quarter ended September 30, 1999 of $0.365 per share.
    The Company also announced the successful completion of new mortgage
financing of approximately $8.5 million secured by two of the Company's
medical office buildings.  The new mortgage debt, arranged by J.P. Morgan, has
a ten-year term and a fixed interest rate.  Approximately $7.8 million of the
total debt has been used to reduce the Company's outstanding line of credit to
a current balance of approximately $68 million.  The remainder was used to
fund transaction costs and escrow deposits required under the new debt
arrangements.
    "Over the course of the past month, we have reduced the balance
outstanding on our Bank Credit Facility by approximately $27 million, or
approximately 30% of the balance outstanding at the beginning of the year,"
said D. Lee McCreary, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer.  "As stated
previously, refinancing the Bank Credit Facility, which matures January 1,
2000, remains management's top priority."
    ElderTrust is a real estate investment trust that invests in real estate
properties used in the healthcare services industry, principally along the
East Coast of the United States.  Since commencing operations in January 1998,
the Company has acquired direct and indirect interests in 31 buildings and has
loans outstanding of $49 million in construction and term financing on eight
additional healthcare facilities.

forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Act of
1995.  Although ElderTrust believes the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable assumptions, it can give no

assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that
become untrue because of subsequent events.
