NOTES TO SCHEDULE III - REAL ESTATE AND ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION

(A) See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

(B) Depreciation is calculated using estimated useful lives up to 40 years for all completed facilities.

(C) Subsequent to NHC’s transfer of the original real estate properties in 1991, we purchased from NHC $33.9 million of additions to those properties. As the additions were purchased from NHC rather than developed by us, the $33.9 million has been included as Initial Cost to Company.

(D) Includes construction in progress.

(E) At December 31, 2024, the tax basis of the Company’s net real estate assets was $2.2 billion.
