We called it “the golden years” – a time to let go of obligations and responsibilities, a season to pass the time in leisure. “To do what you want or nothing at all” was the advertising line. Appealing as it sounded, and though widely promoted, this vision of the good life was never fully satisfying. Indeed, in the early 1970s an ABHOW resident in Phoenix wrote, “Retirement should not be a time of idleness and apathy. It should be creative … The real secret of contentment in our old age is not hobbies and leisure but mission.” Many years would pass before this rich understanding of older adulthood caught on. But now it is here. The new vision is about creativity. It’s about making sense of our lives and giving shape to our days: not merely passing the time but being curious about the time. The difference now is that we ask what this time is for, because the new vision of older adulthood is about mission. This is the good life, redefined. 1 2 2010 ABHOW Annual Report In a year of continuing economic difficulty, when our direction could have been muddled by circumstances, ABHOW drew upon reserves of wisdom and dedication to stay focused on our mission. We are blessed that such reserves are abundant in our team members, residents and volunteer community leaders. Wisdom and dedication were crucial in making decisions about our current operations and in planning for our future. The Board worked closely with the CEO to review the company’s assumptions about growth, given the slow economic recovery. Our governance around this matter was enhanced by open conversation and management’s transparent practices. We decided that the company’s plans are sound for the redevelopment of campuses and the construction of new communities, even as we acknowledged that project timelines may be lengthened, depending on capital financing and our sales success. A Message from the Chief Governance Officer As trustees of ABHOW’s mission, the Board of Directors holds the CEO accountable to manage the company in a manner that honors our values. Integrity, compassion and commitment, along with stewardship, trust and accountability, should define all that we do in ABHOW. These values are our measure of the good life. The Board is committed to creating vibrant communities that sustain this good life. Our vision is expressed in what we call our “ends statement”: “Living in community, a steadily increasing number of seniors and disabled persons will experience optimal health, safety and well-being appropriate to their life stage and circumstances, to an extent that justifies the expenditure of resources.” This is ABHOW’s overall strategic direction. It is the compass point for all of our governance and management activities. In collaboration with senior management, the Board crafted the core components of the 2011-2013 ABHOW Strategic Plan. We reaffirmed our corporate growth guidelines, which state the following: (1) All growth should be strategic; (2) All growth should fit within ABHOW’s capital plan; (3) All growth should be approached from a fiscally constrained perspective; (4) All growth opportunities should be supported by thorough due diligence; and (5) All growth opportunities should be prioritized in a manner that addresses the current needs of ABHOW and its communities. These decisions reflect the will of a Board that is wholly committed to fulfilling and advancing ABHOW’s mission to “enhance the independence, well-being and security of older people.” My colleagues and I consider it a privilege to be engaged in this work. It is our contribution toward assisting current and future residents in redefining the good life. Randall L. Stamper Chief Governance Officer 2010 ABHOW Annual Report Something more is at stake. Even residents challenged by health issues have a contribution to make. Everyone, regardless of age or health, has a mission. This is the good life, redefined. As a company, we too are redefining the good life. We are imagining new ways to deepen a culture of hospitality across ABHOW. We are asking what purpose our communities serve beyond housing and health care. What role do our campuses play in successful aging? What obligations do our communities have to the wider community? We grappled with these questions in 2010, and we also took concrete steps toward our vision, even amid continuing economic challenges. A Message from the president and ceo In the days following the devastating Haiti earthquake of Jan. 12, 2010, residents of Piedmont Gardens in Oakland, Calif., offered a form of relief they have provided locally for many years: they made quilts, pillows and baby garments for those in need. Their kindness, which embodied the spirit of residents across ABHOW, underscored a major shift in how older adults define the good life. Retirement is recast today as residents continue to work or take up new studies. Many volunteer their time in nonprofits or roll up their sleeves to build new programs for their neighbors. Their commitment signals a new vision of older adulthood, yet one that is not merely about being active. Access to capital is key to our vision. For that reason, we refinanced our core debt to create a master trust indenture that will allow ABHOW to attract more capital. We hope to secure financing in 2011 for the next phase of redevelopment at The Terraces at San Joaquin Gardens in Fresno, Calif. Under the master trust indenture, we now have the ability to provide short-term construction guarantees for affordable housing. This is critical, as traditional sources of government financing decline. In delivering services, creating programs or building new campuses, ABHOW team members are not checking off a list made in another era. We are rethinking the whole enterprise. Our mission compels us to recognize new realities in senior living, brought on by the recession as well as the aging of America. Our passion to serve moves us to innovate. Our collective vocation inspires us to keep working toward the goal of a fuller life for everyone as we grow older. This is the good life, redefined. David B. Ferguson President and CEO 3 4 2010 ABHOW Annual Report COrnerstone affiliates ABHOW created Cornerstone Affiliates in 2003 to extend the company’s mission. As ABHOW’s parent organization, Cornerstone provides a structure that facilitates acquisition, development and affiliation of communities while protecting ABHOW financially and enabling the company to redefine the good life in new markets. The newest Cornerstone affiliate, The Terraces at Harris Ranch, made progress in 2010 toward reshaping senior living in Boise, Idaho. The Terraces will be Idaho’s first full-service life care community when it opens in 2013. Designed by the award-winning AG Architecture of Wauwatosa, Wis., and developed by Irving, Texas-based Greystone Communities, The Terraces’ 12-acre campus will include residential living, assisted living, skilled nursing and memory support. The community will feature ABHOW’s new cottage design approach to skilled nursing, in which resident rooms surround a central great room and kitchen. While the economic downturn slowed sales over the past two years, pre-construction sales activities continued to generate enthusiasm with future residents who are eager to enjoy The Terraces’ ideal location. “It’s an opportunity to be close to the foothills and yet less than five minutes from downtown,” says Jeanne Thomas. She and husband Wayne Auer are among the 400 “Pioneer Members” who have secured special pricing and benefits as part of the priority club. Sales and marketing efforts also progressed at Cornerstone’s Las Ventanas, which opened in 2004 in the heart of Summerlin, a master-planned Las Vegas community. Developed by Greystone and now managed by ABHOW, Las Ventanas is Nevada’s only life care community. The beautiful 17-acre campus offers spacious apartments, villa homes, gardens and courtyards with breathtaking scenery. ABHOW launched a new marketing campaign in 2010 to increase awareness of Las Ventanas. The campaign highlights the campus’ vibrant lifestyle and spirited residents. Drawing upon the benefits of ABHOW management for innovative programming and care services, Las Ventanas is redefining retirement in Nevada. Wayne Auer and Jeanne Thomas are making plans for the good life. They are part of the priority club at The Terraces at Harris Ranch in Boise, Idaho. 2010 ABHOW Annual Report Finding her Rhythm When Debz Zeff moved to Grand Lake Gardens in 2009, the former dance teacher thought something was missing from the Oakland, Calif., community’s exercise classes. “None of them had music and I wanted to have that beat,” says Zeff (above, at left), who taught high school folk and modern dance years ago before raising her own children. She floated the idea of a weekly dance class, and another resident came up with the name: Happy Feet. Sharing the joy of dance is one sign of the “transformation” Zeff says occurred since she and her husband, Jack, arrived. When moving from Los Angeles, she decided to leave behind both the “stay-at-home” life she had and her old name, Debbie. “It came to me that I was moving into a whole new aspect of my life,” she says. “The first day I was here, they asked me my name and I said Debz.” 5 6 2010 ABHOW Annual Report CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES Providing more choices to seniors to match their lifestyles, engaging residents in shaping campuses, creating vibrant communities where residents and team members alike flourish — this is how ABHOW is redefining the good life in its continuing care retirement communities. In 2010 ABHOW extended innovative programming and leading-edge services across the CCRCs. Ten communities now offer My Choice, a flexible dining program that gives residents the freedom to choose when and where they dine. Nine campuses have embraced Masterpiece Living, a holistic health and wellness program that draws upon the resources of the Mayo Clinic and engages residents in setting lifestyle goals and assessing their progress. Three communities piloted a risk management selfassessment program in partnership with Caring Communities, a leading senior living insurer. New technologies enabled ABHOW to pursue these and other programs with greater efficiency and quality. ABHOW re-branded two communities: San Joaquin Gardens in Fresno, Calif., is now The Terraces at San Joaquin Gardens; and ABHOW’s first community, Pilgrim Haven in Los Altos, Calif., changed its name to The Terraces at Los Altos. Repositioning of the Fresno community continued with major remodeling of existing apartment homes, while the Los Altos campus rolled out its redevelopment plans, which include the addition of ABHOW’s acclaimed memory support program, The Grove. Meanwhile, the fifth Grove opened at Judson Park in Des Moines, Wash., and architects designed the sixth Grove at Piedmont Gardens in Oakland, Calif. Mission-driven team members advanced all of this work. Cultivating team members and supporting their exceptional performance is a priority of ABHOW. In 2010 the company launched Leadership ABHOW, a professional development program that engages CCRC and affordable housing leaders in yearlong classes and mentoring. ABHOW selected a leading wellness firm to help improve the well-being of team members and control rising health care costs. Finally, the launch of the company’s intranet, myABHOW.com, provided team members with company news, career advancement opportunities, and other resources.

Since leaving home at the age of 12, Estrella has been a rambling man. These days, the resident of E.E. Cleveland Manor in Oakland, Calif., confines most of his rambling to walking or cycling San Francisco Bay’s eastern waterfront, where he collects and disposes of washed-up plastic junk that could be hazardous to sea or bird life. Estrella takes pride in his Native Hawaiian heritage and feels a kinship with the natural world. He shares his passion for protecting the coastline with fellow residents through a multimedia presentation he created using his own words and photographs. But he still hears the call of the railroad. “When I see tracks, I see freedom,” he says. 7 8 2010 ABHOW Annual Report affordable housing Only one in 10 seniors in the U.S. is able to find decent, affordable housing. That sobering reality, complicated by the nation’s economic troubles, compels ABHOW to do all it can to redefine the good life for older adults with limited incomes. Over the past decade, ABHOW has steadily grown its affordable housing portfolio to meet this critical need. In 2010 the company added its 23rd affordable housing community with the acquisition of Three Rivers Village in Richland, Wash. Using state and local loans, ABHOW’s $2 million purchase prevented the community’s conversion to market-rate housing, which would have meant the loss of 40 affordable apartments. Also in Washington, ABHOW opened Shepherd’s Garden, a 40-apartment community in Lynnwood, and started construction on the 55-apartment Salishan Gardens in Tacoma. Through a competitive proposal process, the Bremerton Housing Authority and the Seattle Housing Authority selected ABHOW to develop additional senior housing in the state. These projects are part of ABHOW’s successful partnership with Seattle-based Beacon Development Group. ABHOW commenced construction of Valley Vista in San Ramon, Calif., a 105-apartment community jointly developed with Satellite Housing of Berkeley. ABHOW’s Carmel, Calif., community, Pacific Meadows, began a multimillion-dollar renovation. ABHOW advanced these efforts and more by drawing upon multiple sources of funding and carrying out the work through a lean but dedicated team that leverages its collective expertise and passion to make a difference in the lives of older adults. In 2010 the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) conferred its Communities of Quality designation on 14 ABHOW-operated California communities: Oakland’s Allen Temple Arms I, Allen Temple Arms II, Allen Temple Gardens and Allen Temple Manor; Bellflower Friendship Manor and Bellflower Oak Street Manor in Bellflower; Broadmoor Plaza in San Leandro; Casa de la Vista and Fern Lodge in Redlands; Judson Terrace Homes and Judson Terrace Lodge in San Luis Obispo; Manila Terrace in Los Angeles; Mount Rubidoux Manor in Riverside; and Tahoe Senior Plaza in South Lake Tahoe. Because of this significant number of community recognitions, ABHOW also received NAHMA’s prestigious Communities of Quality Corporate Partner designation. (Clockwise, from top left photo) ABHOW started construction on Valley Vista in San Ramon, Calif., opened Shepherd’s Garden in Lynnwood, Wash., with a community mural, and broke ground for Salishan Gardens in Tacoma, Wash. 2010 ABHOW Annual Report A sharing his talent fter some 40 years in the hotel and restaurant business, Bob McCormick thought he moved into Harbor View Manor in his native Tacoma, Wash., to retire. But soon after arriving in 2008, he heard his former career still calling him. Indeed, it was hollering at him. From his first bite, he knew the community’s dining operation needed an overhaul. He helped create a menu that is as healthy as it is tasty. Not only did his guidance lead to better meals, the cost of running the dining operation went down even as the turnout for dinner climbed. During his career, McCormick always kept a close hand in daily operations. “If you’re going to let someone else do it, you might as well forget it,” he says. Still, he is surprised that he’s still doing it. “I thought that was all history,” he says. “It’s really a new challenge all over again.” 9 10 2010 ABHOW Annual Report SENIORITY, INC. Redefining the good life for senior living is the work of Seniority, Inc. As ABHOW’s subsidiary management, sales and consulting firm, Seniority translates ABHOW’s mission in new markets by helping nonprofit and for-profit owners create communities that “enhance the independence, well-being and security of older people.” The firm is guided by Seniority Spirit. This hospitality and culture formation initiative, specially designed for senior living and rolled out across the firm’s managed communities and sales offices in 2010, inspires exceptional service by tapping the joy of exceptional people. The initiative includes multiple systems and practices, from rigorous team member selection to in-depth orientation to the educational and inspirational Daily Huddle. Seniority enjoyed continued success across its lines of business. The firm managed the opening of Cypress Springs in Oklahoma City, Okla., its second contract in the state. Seniority will help the owners open a third community in 2011 in Wichita, Kan. Through the introduction of new lifestyle programs and systems to ensure quality care, Seniority achieved 100 percent occupancy at Cottonwood Court in Fresno, Calif. Seniority initiated the sales program for a second Christian Living Communities (CLC) campus – Clermont Park in Denver, Colo. The 38-year-old community is constructing 74 new residential apartments. Seniority continued to help nearby CLC community Holly Creek enjoy high occupancy, and the firm took on sales consulting duties for CLC’s Johnson Center campus in Centennial as well as the corporate office in Greenwood Village. In addition, Seniority provided individual and group sales training for team members at Johnson Center and The Village, also located in Centennial. Closer to home, Seniority’s sales force helped ABHOW’s CCRCs earn $20.4 million in entrance fees, even amid the continuing challenge of a sluggish real estate market. Seniority led the rebranding effort of The Terraces at Los Altos in Los Altos, Calif., and initiated a sales program for the planned redevelopment of ABHOW’s first community, securing over 400 priority members in just three months.

In Oklahoma City, Okla., Seniority celebrates the grand opening of Cypress Springs. 2010 ABHOW Annual Report creating her community ois Blakemore started her life at Rosewood Senior Living Community L years before she ever moved in. Blakemore fell in love with the Bakersfield, Calif., community during her 18 years as a team member. After retiring as director of administrative services in 1996, Blakemore decided to move into the community six years later. Today, she is one of Rosewood’s most active leaders. A former president of the resident council, she currently serves as treasurer. She routinely attends community governance meetings to keep abreast of campus developments. When Rosewood launched its Masterpiece Living lifestyle initiative, Blakemore was, once again, front and center. She jumped in as a resident leader, helping to provide training. “This community has evolved a lot over the years,” she says, “but the concept is still the same of providing a good life for those of us who are older.” 11 12 2010 ABHOW Annual Report social accountability Every ABHOW community provides services that are vital to the health and well-being of residents. But what obligations do ABHOW communities have to their towns and cities? That question surfaced early in ABHOW’s history as the company envisioned a comprehensive program of services that went beyond its own communities to effect changes in the larger society and, thus, a redefinition of the good life for all older adults. The concept of the retirement community as a hub of service inspired ABHOW leaders in their long-range planning in the early 1970s. They imagined a campus where people would discover many opportunities to fulfill their needs and desires, a place to live being just one option. “It would be a center in the community,” wrote one company leader, “not just an institution where a few hundred individuals enjoyed the good life.” That concept naturally grew through the years as community leaders and residents sought to connect with the wider community. In 1997 ABHOW formally adopted a program of social accountability built on the understanding that the company has a social compact with the residents, towns and cities it serves. ABHOW receives a tax-exemption as a nonprofit corporation in exchange for its charitable services, many of which the government would otherwise have to supply. 2010 ABHOW Annual Report ABHOW honors its social commitment by pursuing its mission and by making its charitable activities transparent. Annually, community leaders document their charitable care and community service programs, and, in recent years, ABHOW has sought to measure the dollar value of its charitable care and community service in order to show the relationship between benefits the company provides in exchange for the tax benefits it receives. ABHOW tracks benevolent care to residents who have outlived their financial resources; community health and supportive services; education for health professionals and team members; subsidized health services; joint research with universities; religious and other services for non-residents; use of ABHOW meeting spaces by nonprofit groups; and other community-building activities. ABHOW provided $15.9 million in community benefits in 2010, while the company’s tax benefits came to about $3.25 million. When counting just “pure charity” – which ABHOW defines as direct contributions to residents and team members for care and services and direct contributions to other nonprofits – ABHOW provided $9.1 million. Those activities considered pure charity are captured in the following categories: Contractual allowances: ABHOW participates in the Medicaid program, which does not fully reimburse the company for the cost of services provided to residents. So ABHOW covers the difference. Such allowances totaled $4.6 million in 2010. Subsidized allowances: ABHOW supports private pay residents by offering discounts from full contractual rates. These discounts include such items as permanent level of care transfer discounts, below-market discounts on certain apartments, SurePay program participation credits, Health Center free-day credits, and basic medical credits for doctor and hospital Medicare deductibles. These allowances totaled $1.6 million in 2010.

(Above) Maxine Roberts picks up pamphlets at a health fair at Broadmoor Plaza in San Leandro, Calif. Health Fairs Connect Neighbors with Valuable Resources After Maxine Roberts suffered a stroke, she was fortunate enough to have a niece who could help with her day-to-day care. Roberts recovered, but the Broadmoor Plaza resident started inquiring about the services she might need one day. Roberts attended her San Leandro, Calif., community’s Senior Health and Resource Fair in April of 2010 and spoke to most of the 17 organizations present. She and other seniors learned about free or low-cost aid offered by such groups as Pathways Hospice, ComForcare, Lifeline, the Lavender Society and East Bay Paratransit. “I don’t think a lot of people realize the services that are available,” Roberts says. She picked up the information materials the vendors distributed. She planned to give some of it to friends and to keep some for her files. “I take magnets and put them up on my refrigerator so I’ll have them when I need them,” Roberts says. Susan Ruan, administrator of Broadmoor Plaza, says health fairs are a way to bring services to those living in affordable housing communities. Two of the most requested services are legal assistance and transportation. ABHOW affordable housing communities frequently sponsor such health fairs for residents as well as seniors in the wider community. 13 14 2010 ABHOW Annual Report (continued from previous page) Benevolent care: ABHOW provides benevolent support when residents outlive their resources. In 2010 the company distributed $678,303 to the CCRCs. Free services to residents: ABHOW makes direct contributions to residents in the form of free services, such as health screenings, transportation and food. These contributions totaled $627,000 in 2010. Future DocTORS, Nurses Learn About Aging Through Partnership Medical and nursing students are learning how to care for older adults through unique partnerships at Piedmont Gardens in Oakland, Calif. Educational assistance for team members: Each year ABHOW supports team members with grants for tuition, fees and books. Such assistance totaled $41,830 in 2010. Grants to retirement communities: Through the ABHOW Foundation, grants are awarded annually to ABHOW communities to enhance the quality of resident life. The Foundation awarded $61,155 in grants in 2010. Nursing students from Samuel Merritt University work one-on-one with Piedmont Gardens residents as part of their nursing studies. The program started with just two students and has grown to a dozen. At the same time, students from the University of California, Berkeley/University of California, San Francisco Joint Medical Program do physical exams and take residents’ medical histories. Volunteer hours: Every year staff and residents contribute hundreds of hours to other nonprofit organizations. Volunteer hours were valued at $1.1 million in 2010. Piedmont Gardens resident Sid Spies, a retired internist from Southern California, is preceptor to the medical students, a role he describes as part supervisor, part mentor. Students are paired with resident volunteers for three years, long enough for them to really get to know them. In addition to this pure charity, ABHOW provided other significant benefits to residents. Each year the company makes adjustments to Medicare and third-party managed care contracts when these government and insurance entities do not fully reimburse ABHOW for the published price of services provided to residents. In 2010, Medicare and managed care adjustments totaled $3.03 million and $2.97 million, respectively. “This is the last time in their lives they will have three hours to take a history,” Spies says, adding that when he was a harried young medical student he and his classmates didn’t think they had time to sit with older patients — a persistent attitude he hopes programs like Piedmont Gardens’ will help dispel. “Empathy is such an important part of practicing medicine. It’s very different from treating a heart attack,” he says. Second-year medical student Asa Tapley agrees. “This program allows students to apply their learning, to actually practice physical exams and history taking,” he says. “You don’t practice medicine in a lecture hall.” Direct contributions to other nonprofits: ABHOW communities donate cash, food, goods and services to other charitable organizations. These contributions totaled $454,000 in 2010. All of this charitable activity and community service is inspired by ABHOW’s mission to “enhance the independence, well-being and security of older people.” From ABHOW’s campuses to the wider community, the mission marks a path of social accountability, redefining the good life for all. (Above) Medical student Asa Tapley (left) chats with resident Flossie Lewis at Piedmont Gardens in Oakland, Calif., while resident Sid Spies listens in. 2010 ABHOW Annual Report 15 Charitable Benefits to Residents and team members – 2010 Medicaid Adjustments 59% Direct Benevolence to Residents 9% Resident Discounts 20% Research & Education Benefits to Residents & Team Members 3% Other Charitable Benefits to Residents & Team Members 9% COMMUNITY SHARES BOUNTY WITH NEIGHBORS Charitable Benefits to the Broader Community – 2010 Volunteer Service Green thumbs and good souls are busy at Grand Lake Gardens in Oakland, Calif. In April of 2010, the community used a grant from Rebuilding Together Oakland to establish an organic garden. Since then, residents have been harvesting the produce — including potatoes, string beans, squash, cucumbers and carrots — and donating the bounty to a nearby food program for seniors. 60% Community Health & Supportive Services 9% Other Benefits to the Community at Large 11% Use of Retirement Community By Outside Groups 16% Community Benefit Operations Activities 1% Community-Building & Leadership 3% Grand Lake Gardens initially planned to give the produce to the Alameda County Community Food Bank, says Carole Lee, the resident who leads the project. The first deliveries went to the food bank, but then the residents discovered that one of the food bank’s clients, St. Mary’s Center, was just three miles away and dedicated to serving seniors. Community Benefits Provided and Received So, Lee says, they decided to “skip the middleman.” She and other residents harvest on Wednesday mornings, and the community’s van driver helps her deliver the food later the same day. $16,000,000 Sister Marilyn Medau, St. Mary’s program director, says in 2009 the center served about 300 homeless seniors and about 600 seniors who have homes but need resources to help them age in place. The center also helps young children and families, but the midday hot meal served on Thursdays is just for seniors. $14,000,000 $12,000,000 $10,000,000 $8,000,000 $6,000,000 Community Benefits Pure Charity Provided Benefits Provided 2010 2009 2010 2009 2010 $2,000,000 2009 $4,000,000 Tax Benefits Received “We use the food they bring in for salads or as a vegetable medley,” she says of Grand Lake Gardens’ donations. “I’m very grateful for any kind of healthy food we can serve to the seniors, and fresh produce is high on that list.” 16 2010 ABHOW Annual Report financial overview American Baptist Homes of the West and Combined Affiliates As of September 30 Combined Balance Sheet Assets FY 2010 FY 2009 $104,872 $103,666 74,451 46,057 Accounts and notes receivable 7,909 11,242 Prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets 1,614 3,007 17,889 13,824 Land, buildings and equipment, net 280,582 238,323 Total $487,317 $416,119 Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 25,579 $ 18,772 Deferred revenue from entrance fees 140,063 133,859 Deferred revenue from investment contract 3,627 3,840 Trusts and annuities 3,581 4,106 263,530 220,781 Retirement liabilities 7,125 6,878 Other liabilities 7,433 3,680 36,379 24,203 $487,317 $416,119 (in thousands) Cash and marketable securities Restricted cash and marketable securities Other assets Liabilities and Net Assets (in thousands) Notes and bonds payable Net assets Total 2010 ABHOW Annual Report revenue and expenses American Baptist Homes of the West and Combined Affiliates For the years ended September 30 ccrc operating results seniority operating results (in thousands) (in thousands) Operating Revenue FY 2010 FY 2009 Monthly fees $113,746 $112,133 Ancillary & other services 9,097 8,193 $122,843 $120,326 Operating Expenses Team member costs $ 64,261 $ 62,080 Supplies & purchased services 16,251 15,850 Ancillary services 8,439 7,734 Mortgage interest 6,096 5,381 Other operating expenses 23,889 22,981 $118,936 $ 114,026 Division Margin $ 3,907 $ 6,300 Operating Revenue FY 2010 FY 2009 ABHOW & affiliates $ 3,140 $3,386 Third-party revenue 2,005 1,159 $ 5,145 $4,545 Operating Expenses Team member costs $2,866 $ 2,537 Supplies & purchased services 123 140 Other operating expenses 2,026 1,688 $ 5,015 $4,365 Division Margin $ 130 $ 180 Home office operating results (excluding affordable housing) affordable housing operating results (in thousands) (in thousands) Operating Revenue FY 2010 FY 2009 Management fees & other revenue $ 2,522 $ 2,022 CA CCRC management fees 8,821 8,789 $11,343 $ 10,811 Operating Expenses Team member costs $ 7,935 $ 8,075 Supplies & purchased services 1,380 1,636 Mortgage interest 517 89 Other operating expenses 2,546 2,806 $12,378 $12,606 Division Margin ($1,035) ($ 1,795) Operating Revenue FY 2010 FY 2009 Monthly community revenue $4,935 $ 3,917 Management & development fees 1,657 1,320 $6,592 $5,237 Operating Expenses Team member costs $ 2,743 $2,282 Supplies & purchased services 1,404 1,038 Mortgage interest 881 688 Other operating expenses 1,670 1,096 $6,698 $5,104 Division Margin ($ 106) $ 133 CCRC Operating Revenue & Reoccupancy Fees by Year (in thousands) Net reoccupancy fees Operating revenues exclusive of entry fee amortization, all CCRCs 150 120 90 $120,219 $23,004 $97,215 $125,355 $21,718 $103,637 $130,427 $131,797 $20,739 $17,730 $109,688 $114,067 $137,814 $17,488 $120,326 $143,261 $20,418 $122,843 60 30 0 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 17 18 2010 ABHOW Annual Report community profiles Continuing Care Residents Grand Lake Gardens, Oakland, CA J udson Park, Des Moines, WA Piedmont Gardens, Oakland, CA Plymouth Village, Redlands, CA Rosewood, Bakersfield, CA The Terraces at Los Altos, Los Altos, CA The Terraces at San Joaquin Gardens, Fresno, CA The Terraces of Los Gatos, Los Gatos, CA Valle Verde, Santa Barbara, CA Total Team Members* 90 327 285 264 220 142 27 190 176 149 151 100 315 302 373 2,318 211 160 192 1,356 Owned Affordable Housing Residents Team Members* Broadmoor Plaza, San Leandro, CA 75 Casa de la Vista, Redlands, CA 76 Fern Lodge, Redlands, CA 62 Harbor View Manor, Tacoma, WA 171 Hillcrest Gardens, Daly City, CA 52 Judson Terrace Lodge, San Luis Obispo, CA 32 Kelly Ridge, South Lake Tahoe, CA 33 Oak Knolls Haven, Santa Maria, CA 40 Pacific Meadows, Carmel, CA 178 Shepherd’s Garden, Lynnwood, WA 51 Tahoe Senior Plaza, South Lake Tahoe, CA 45 Three Rivers Village, Richland, WA 40 Total 855 3 4 3 9 2 1 1 2 9 2 2 2 40 Managed Affordable Housing Residents Team Members* Allen Temple Arms I, Oakland, CA 78 Allen Temple Arms II, Oakland, CA 50 Allen Temple Gardens III, Oakland, CA 54 Allen Temple Manor IV, Oakland, CA 24 Bellflower Friendship Manor, Bellflower, CA 168 Bellflower Oak Street Manor, Bellflower, CA 32 Casa de Redwood, Redwood City, CA 159 E.E.

Stuewig 19 20 2010 ABHOW Annual Report ABHOW FOUNDATION When residents give to the ABHOW Foundation, they do so not for personal gain but with a genuine desire to help their neighbors. They know that generosity has its own rewards. “It’s my philosophy of the good life,” says Lou Binick, Foundation board member and resident of The Terraces of Phoenix. “When you help others, you’re helping yourself.” In a year of continuing economic difficulty, residents redefined the good life by organizing fundraising campaigns in their communities and pledging their gifts. Because of this generosity, the Foundation is able to support CCRC residents who outlive their own resources. In 2010 the Foundation distributed $1.1 million to the CCRCs for benevolent care. Residents, team members, partners and friends answered the call again to improve the quality of resident life in the affordable housing communities. The 13th Annual ABHOW Foundation Golf Classic netted over $100,000 to support these communities. The Foundation honored residents’ generosity by unveiling donor recognition walls at Judson Park, Rosewood and Valle Verde. In addition, the Foundation reinstituted the Heritage Honor Society with an event at each CCRC. Board Members: Frank Jennings, Board Chair; David B.
