Care Investment Trust Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2010
Note 1
Organization
Care Investment Trust Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company or Care unless
otherwise indicated or except where the context otherwise requires, we, us or our) is a real
estate investment trust (REIT) with a geographically diverse portfolio of senior housing and
healthcare-related assets in the United States. Care is externally managed and advised by CIT
Healthcare LLC (Manager). As of March 31, 2010, Cares portfolio of assets consisted of real
estate and mortgage related assets for senior housing facilities, skilled nursing facilities,
medical office properties and first mortgage liens on healthcare related assets. Our owned senior
housing facilities are leased, under triple-net leases, which require the tenants to pay all
property-related expenses.
Care elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable
year ended December 31, 2007. To maintain our tax status as a REIT, we are required to distribute
at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. At present, Care does not have any
taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS), but in the normal course of business expects to form such
subsidiaries as necessary.
Note 2
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
On December 10, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a plan of liquidation and recommended
that our shareholders approve the plan of liquidation. On January 28, 2010, our shareholders
approved the plan of liquidation. Under the plan of liquidation, the Board of Directors reserves
the right to continue to solicit and entertain proposals from third parties to acquire all or
substantially all of the Companys outstanding common stock prior to and after approval of the plan
of liquidation by our shareholders. Subsequent to our shareholders approval of the plan of
liquidation, on March 16, 2010, the Company entered into a
purchase and sale agreement with Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. (Tiptree) providing for a combination of an
equity investment by Tiptree in newly issued common stock at $9.00 per share and a cash tender offer by the Company for up to
all of Cares issued and outstanding shares of common stock at the same price, as long as at least
10,300,000 shares are validly tendered (and not withdrawn) prior to the expiration date of the
tender offer and the other conditions to the issuance and tender offer are satisfied or waived.
See Note 14 Tiptree Transaction. Since it is not probable that the Company will liquidate, the
Company has presented its financial statements on a going concern basis.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In our opinion,
all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made. The condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet
as of that date. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAP) have been omitted in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X and
the instructions to Form 10-Q. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The Company has no items of other comprehensive income, and accordingly, net income or loss is
equal to comprehensive income or loss for all periods presented.
Loans held at LOCOM
Investments in loans amounted to $9.8 million at March 31, 2010 as compared with $25.3 million
at December 31, 2009. We account for our investment in loans in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification 948, which codified the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASBs)
Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities
(ASC 948). Under ASC 948, loans expected to be
held for the foreseeable future or to maturity should be held at amortized cost, and all other
loans should be held at the lower of cost or market (LOCOM), measured on an individual basis. At
December 31, 2008, in connection with our decision to reposition ourselves from a mortgage REIT to
a traditional direct property ownership REIT (referred to as an equity REIT, see Notes 2, 3, and 4
to the financial statements) and as a result of existing market conditions, we transferred our
portfolio of mortgage loans to LOCOM because we are no longer certain that we will hold the
portfolio of loans either until maturity or for the foreseeable future.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
In June 2009, the FASB issued a pronouncement establishing the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be
applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The standard explicitly
recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws as
authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. This standard is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted this
standard in the third quarter of 2009.
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In June 2009, issued ASU 2009-17 to codify FASB issued Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB
Interpretation No. 46(R) as ASC 810 (ASC 810), with the objective of improving financial
reporting by entities involved with variable interest entities (VIE). It retains the scope of FIN
46(R) with the addition of entities previously considered qualifying special-purpose entities, as
the concept of those entities was eliminated by FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers
of Financial Assets (ASU 2009-16; FASB ASC 860). ASC 810 will require an analysis to determine
whether the entitys variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a
VIE.
On September 30, 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-12 to provide guidance on measuring the fair
value of certain alternative investments. The ASU amends ASC 820 to offer investors a practical
expedient for measuring the fair value of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset
value per share. The ASU is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods)
ending after December 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted. On January 21, 2010, the FASB issued
ASU 2010-06, which amends ASC 820 to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and
out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements
relating to Level 3 measurements. The ASU also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the
level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The
ASU is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after
December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption
permitted. The Company adopted these revised disclosure requirements of ASC 820 in the quarter
ended March 31, 2010.
Subsequent Events
In
May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165 Subsequent Events, which is codified in FASB ASC 855,
Subsequent Events (ASC 855). ASC 855 introduces the concept of financial statements being
available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has
evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the
date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. The pronouncement is
effective for interim periods ended after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC 855 in the 2009
second quarter. The Company evaluates subsequent events as of the date of issuance of its financial
statements and considers the impact of all events that have taken place to that date in its
disclosures and financials statements when reporting on the Companys financial position and
results of operations. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing and
has determined that no other events need to be disclosed.
Note 3
Investments in Loans held at LOCOM
As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our net investments in loans amounted to $9.8
million and $25.3 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we received
$10.4 million in principal repayments, as compared with $1.0 million received during the three
months ended March 31, 2009. The 2010 first quarter repayments included proceeds of approximately
$10.0 million for the full repayment of a loan with one borrower. Our investment at March 31, 2010
is a participation secured primarily by real estate in the form of pledges of ownership interests,
direct liens or other security interests. This investment is variable rate at March 31, 2010, had a
weighted average spread of 4.16% over one month LIBOR, and a maturity of approximately 0.8 year.
At December 31, 2009 the investments in loans had a weighted average spread of 6.76% over one month
LIBOR and an average maturity of 1.0 year. The effective yield on the portfolio for the quarter
ended March 31, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, was 4.41% and 6.99%, respectively. One
month LIBOR was 0.25% at March 31, 2010 and 0.23% at December 31, 2009.

Note 6 Warehouse Line of Credit
On October 1, 2007, Care entered into a master repurchase agreement with Column Financial,
Inc. (Column), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, one of the underwriters of Cares initial public
offering in June 2007. This type of lending arrangement is often referred to as a warehouse
facility. The master repurchase agreement provided an initial line of credit of up to $300 million.
On March 6, 2009, the Board authorized the repayment in full of the $37.8 million outstanding
balance on the Column warehouse line of credit, and the line was paid off on March 9, 2009. In
connection with the payoff, the Company wrote off approximately $0.5 million of deferred charges.
Note 7 Borrowings under Mortgage Notes Payable
On June 26, 2008, in connection with the acquisition of the twelve properties from Bickford
Senior Living Group LLC (Bickford), the Company entered into a mortgage loan with Red Mortgage
Capital, Inc. for $74.6 million. The terms of the mortgage require interest-only payments at a
fixed interest rate of 6.845% for the first twelve months. Commencing on the first anniversary and
every month thereafter, the mortgage loan requires a fixed monthly payment of $0.5 million for both
principal and interest, which we began paying in July 2009, until the maturity in July 2015 when
the then outstanding balance of $69.6 million is due and payable. The mortgage loan is
collateralized by the properties.
11

collateralized by the properties.
Note 8 Related Party Transactions
Management Agreement
In connection with our initial public offering in 2007, we entered into a Management Agreement
with our Manager (the Management Agreement), which describes the services to be provided by our
Manager and its compensation for those services. Under the Management Agreement, our Manager,
subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors of Care, is required to manage the day-to-day
activities of the Company, for which the Manager receives a base management fee and is eligible for
an incentive fee. The Manager is also entitled to charge the Company for certain expenses incurred
on behalf of Care.
On September 30, 2008, we amended our Management Agreement (Amendment 1). Pursuant to the
terms of the amendment, the Base Management Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement) payable to
the Manager under the Management Agreement was reduced to a monthly amount equal to 1/12 of 0.875%
of the Companys equity (as defined in the Management Agreement). In addition, pursuant to the
terms of the Amendment, the Incentive Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement) to the Manager
pursuant to the Management Agreement was eliminated and the Termination Fee (as defined in the
Management Agreement) to the Manager upon the termination or non-renewal of the Management
Agreement shall be equal to the average annual Base Management Fee as earned by the Manager during
the immediately preceding two years multiplied by three, but in no event shall the Termination Fee
be less than $15.4 million.
On January 15, 2010, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Management Agreement,
dated as of January 15, 2010 (Amendment 2) which amended and restated the Management Agreement,
dated June 27, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Management Agreement. Amendment 2 became
effective upon approval by the Companys stockholders of the plan of liquidation on January 28,
2010. Amendment 2 shall continue in effect, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms
thereof, until December 31, 2011.
Amendment 2 reduced the base management fee to a monthly amount equal to (i) $125,000 from
February 1, 2010 until June 30, 2010 and (ii) $100,000 until the earlier of December 31, 2010 and
the sale of certain assets and (iii) $75,000 until the effective date of expiration or earlier
termination of the agreement, subject to additional provisions.
Pursuant to the terms of Amendment 2, the Company shall pay the Manager a buyout payment of
$7.5 million, which replaces the $15.4 million Termination Fee
and is payable in three installments of $2.5 million. The first two installments were each
paid when due on January 28, 2010 and April 1, 2010. The third and final payment is payable on
either June 30, 2011 or the effective date of the termination of the agreement if earlier. As of
March 31, 2010, we have accrued $5.0 million for the $2.5 million payment made on April 1, 2010 and
the final $2.5 million payment. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement with Tiptree, the
Management Agreement will be terminated upon closing of the transaction with Tiptree. Pursuant to the terms of Amendment 2, the Manager is
eligible for an incentive fee of $1.5 million under certain conditions where cash distributed or
distributable to stockholders equals or exceeds $9.25 per share. See Note 12.
We are also responsible for reimbursing the Manager for its pro rata portion of certain
expenses detailed in the initial agreement and subsequent amendments, such as rent, utilities,
office furniture, equipment, and overhead, among others, required for our operations. Transactions
with our Manager during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 included:
|
|
|
Our $5,572,000 liability as of March 31, 2010 to our
Manager for the remaining buyout payment obligation of
$5.0 million, professional fees accrued
and other third party costs incurred by our Manager on behalf of Care and management fees.
|
|
|
|
|
Our expense recognition of $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 for the
buyout payment obligation.
|
|
|
|
|
Our expense recognition of $429,000 and $645,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010
and March 31, 2009 for the base management fee.
|
12
|
|
|
On February 3, 2009, the Company closed on the sale of a loan to our Manager for proceeds
of $22.5 million. See Note 4
|
Care does not have any employees. Our officers are employees of our Manager and its
affiliates. Care does not have any separate facilities and is completely reliant on our Manager,
which has significant discretion as to the implementation of our operating policies and strategies.
We depend on the diligence, skill and network of business contacts of our Manager. Our executive
officers and the other employees of our Manager and its affiliates evaluate, service and monitor
our investments.
Note 9 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has established processes for determining fair values and fair value is based on
quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, then fair
value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use inputs that are market-based or
independently-sourced market parameters.
A financial instruments categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of
valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1
inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical
assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2
inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3
inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value
measurement.
The following describes the valuation methodologies used for the Companys financial
instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments
pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Investment in loans held at LOCOM
the fair value of the portfolio is based primarily on
appraisals from third parties. Investing in healthcare-related commercial mortgage debt is
transacted through an over-the-counter market with minimal pricing transparency. Loans are
infrequently traded and market quotes are not widely available and disseminated. The Company also
gives consideration to its knowledge of the current marketplace and the credit worthiness of the
borrowers in determining the fair value of the portfolio. At March 31, 2010, we valued our one loan
using an internal valuation model and considering available market data.
Obligation to issue operating partnership units
the fair value of our obligation to issue
operating partnership units is based on an internally developed valuation model, as quoted market
prices are not available nor are quoted prices for similar liabilities. Our model involves the use
of management estimates as well as some Level 2 inputs. The variables in the model include the
estimated release dates of the shares out of escrow, based on the expected performance of the
underlying properties, a discount factor of approximately 15%, and the market price and expected
quarterly dividend of Cares common shares at each measurement date.
The following table presents the Companys financial instruments carried at fair value on the
condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

The tables below present reconciliations for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value
on a recurring basis using significant Level 3 inputs during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Level 3 instruments presented in the tables include a liability to issue operating partnership

In addition we are required to disclose fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the financial statements, for which it is practical to estimate that
value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon the
application of discount rates to estimated future cash flows based on market yields or other
appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data
and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the
estimated fair value amounts.
In addition to the amounts reflected in the financial statements at fair value as noted above,
cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses reasonably
approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items. Management believes that
the remaining balance of mortgage notes payable of $74.1 million and $7.5 million that were
incurred from the acquisitions of the Bickford properties on June 26, 2008 and September 30, 2008,
respectively, have a fair value of approximately $84.8 million as of March 31, 2010.
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business. The primary risk
managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk. Interest rate caps are entered into
to manage interest rate risk associated with the Companys borrowings. The company has no interest
rate caps as of March 31, 2010.
We are required to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at
fair value in the statement of financial position. The Company has not designated any of its
derivatives as hedging instruments. The Companys financial statements included the following fair
value amounts and gains and losses on derivative instruments (dollars in thousands):

Stockholders Equity
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par
value and 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. As of March 31, 2010, no shares of
preferred stock were issued and outstanding and 21,284,554 shares and 20,224,548 shares of common
stock were issued and outstanding, respectively.
On May 12, 2008, the Committee approved two new long-term equity incentive programs under the
Equity Plan. The first program is an annual performance-based RSU award program (the RSU Award
Program). All RSUs granted under the RSU Award Program vest over four years. The second program is
a performance share plan (the Performance Share Plan) which consisted of a three-year award
program and a special transaction award program.
Certain employees of the Manager and its affiliates were granted Restricted Stock Units
(RSUs) and performance share awards pursuant to the Equity Plan from inception of the Company
through November 5, 2009. Under the terms of each of these awards, shareholder approval of the
plan of liquidation accelerated the vesting of the awards on that day; a total of 116,877 shares
vested on January 28, 2010 upon shareholder approval of the plan of liquidation. The employees of
the Manager and its affiliates were required to pay withholding and other taxes upon vesting of
their awards and elected to sell their eligible unrestricted shares to the Company
for up to the amount of the aggregate tax they were required to pay. Treasury purchases of 59,253
shares were made by the Company from employees of the Manager and its affiliates on January 28,
2010. Compensation expense related to these shares was recognized in 2009 and prior periods.
Approximately $0.8 million of the expense recorded in 2009 related to accelerated vesting in the
aggregate. All of the shares issued under our Equity Plan are considered non-employee awards.
Accordingly, the expense for each period is determined based on the fair value of each share or
unit awarded over the required performance period.
On December 10, 2009, the Company granted special transaction performance share awards to plan
participants for an aggregate amount of 15,000 shares at target levels and an aggregate maximum of
30,000 shares. On February 23, 2009, the terms of the awards were modified such that the awards are
now triggered upon the execution, during 2010, of one or more of the following transactions that
results in a return of liquidity to the Companys stockholders within the parameters expressed in
the special transaction performance share awards agreement: (i) a merger or other business
combination resulting in the disposition of all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of
the Company, (ii) a tender offer made directly to the Companys stockholders either by the Company
or a third party for at least a majority of the Companys issued and outstanding common stock, or
(iii) the declaration of aggregate distributions by the Companys Board equal to or exceeding $8.00
per share.
As of March 31, 2010, 249,486 shares remain available for future issuances under the Equity
Plan. Under the purchase and sale agreement with Tiptree, Care is prohibited from making grants
until the earlier of the termination of the purchase and sale agreement or the Closing Date (as
defined in the purchase and sale agreement that was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Cares Form 8-K on
March 16, 2010).
Shares Issued to Directors for Board Fees:
On January 4, 2010 and April 8, 2010, 8,030 and 5,604 shares of common stock with an aggregate
fair value of approximately $112,500 were granted to our independent directors as part of their
annual retainer. Each independent director receives an annual base retainer of $100,000, payable
quarterly in arrears, of which 50% is paid in cash and 50% in common stock of Care. Shares granted
as part of the annual retainer vest immediately and are included in general and administrative
expense.

Commitments and Contingencies
After having funded approximately $0.5 million in the first quarter
of 2010, as of March 31, 2010 Care was obligated to provide approximately $1.4 million in tenant
improvements in 2010 related to our purchase of the Cambridge properties. Care is also obligated to
fund additional payments for expansion of four of the facilities acquired in the Bickford
transaction on June 26, 2008. The maximum amount that the
Company is obligated to fund related to expansion of the Bickford
facilities is $7.2
million. Since these payments would increase our investment in the properties, the minimum base
rent and additional base rent would increase based on the amounts funded. After funding the
expansion payments and meeting certain conditions as outlined in the documents associated with the
transaction, the sellers are entitled to the balance of the commitment of $7.2 million less the
total of all expansion payments made in conjunction with the properties. As of March 31, 2010, no
expansion payments have been requested and Bickford has yet to meet any of a series of conditions
which would need to be satisfied by July 26, 2010 in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Under our Management Agreement, our Manager, subject to the oversight of the Companys board
of directors, is required to manage the day-to-day activities of Care, for which the Manager
receives a base management fee. The Management Agreement was amended on January 15, 2010, effective
on January 28, 2010 (see Note 8).
Under the amended terms, the agreement expires on December 31, 2011. The base management fee
is payable monthly in arrears in an amount equal to 1/12 of 0.875% of the Companys stockholders
GAAP equity for January 2010 and $125,000 per month thereafter, subject to reduction to $100,000
per month under certain conditions. In addition, under the amended terms, the Company shall pay
the Manager a buyout payment of $7.5 million, payable in three installments of $2.5 million. The
first two installments were each paid when due on January 28, 2010 and April 1, 2010. The third
and final payment is payable on either June 30, 2011 or the effective date of the termination of
the Management Agreement if earlier. As of March 31, 2010, we have accrued $5.0 million for the
$2.5 million payment made on April 1, 2010 and the final $2.5 million payment. Pursuant to the
terms of the agreement with Tiptree, the Management Agreement will be terminated upon closing of
the transaction with Tiptree.
In connection with the Companys evaluation of strategic alternatives, the Company engaged the services of a financial advisor.
In connection with the completion of certain events by the Company, including a liquidation or change in control transaction, the Company will be obligated to pay its financial advisor a transaction fee of $4.0 million.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company has accrued $0.5 million of its contingent payment obligation to its financial advisor.
On September 18, 2007, a class action complaint for violations of federal securities laws was
filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York alleging that the
Registration Statement relating to the initial public offering of shares of our common stock, filed
on June 21, 2007, failed to disclose that certain of the assets in the contributed portfolio were
materially impaired and overvalued and that we were experiencing increasing difficulty in securing
our warehouse financing lines. On January 18, 2008, the court entered an order appointing co-lead
plaintiffs and co-lead counsel. On February 19, 2008, the co-lead plaintiffs filed an amended
complaint citing additional evidentiary support for the allegations in the complaint. We believe
the complaint and allegations are without merit and intend to defend against the complaint and
allegations vigorously. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on April 22, 2008. The
plaintiffs filed an opposition to our motion to dismiss on July 9, 2008, to which we filed our
reply on September 10, 2008. On March 4, 2009, the court denied our motion to dismiss. Care filed
its answer on April 15, 2009. At a conference held on May 15, 2009, the Court ordered the parties
to make a joint submission (the Joint Statement) setting forth: (i) the specific statements that
Plaintiffs claim are false and misleading; (ii) the facts on which Plaintiffs rely as showing each
alleged misstatement was false and misleading; and (iii) the facts on which Defendants rely as
showing those statements were true. The parties filed the Joint Statement on June 3, 2009. On July
31, 2009, the parties entered into a stipulation that narrowed the scope of the proceeding to the
single issue of the warehouse financing disclosure in the Registration Statement. Fact discovery
closed on April 23, 2010. The Court has ordered the parties to file an abbreviated joint pre-trial
statement on June 9, 2010, and scheduled a pre-trial conference for June 11, 2010, at which the
Court will determine based on the joint pre-trial statement whether to permit us and the other
defendants to file a summary judgment motion. The outcome of this matter cannot currently be
predicted. To date, Care has incurred approximately $1.0 million to defend against this complaint
and any incremental costs to defend will be paid by Cares insurer. No provision for loss related
to this matter has been accrued at March 31, 2010.
On November 25, 2009, we filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of Texas against Mr. Jean-Claude Saada and 13 of his companies (the Saada Parties), seeking
declaratory judgments that (i) we have the right to engage in a business combination transaction
involving our company or a sale of our wholly owned subsidiary that serves as the general partner
of the partnership that holds the direct investment in the portfolio without the approval of the
Saada Parties, (ii) the contractual right of the Saada Parties to put their interests in the
Cambridge medical office building portfolio has expired and (iii) the operating partnership
16
units held by the Saada Parties do not entitle them to receive any special cash distributions
made to our stockholders. We also brought affirmative claims for tortious interference by the Saada
Parties with a prospective contract and for their breach of the implied covenant of good faith and
fair dealing.
On January 27, 2010, the Saada Parties answered our complaint, and simultaneously filed
counterclaims and a third-party complaint (the Counterclaims) that named our subsidiaries ERC Sub
LLC and ERC Sub, L.P., external manager CIT Healthcare LLC, and board chairman Flint D. Besecker,
as additional third-party defendants. The Counterclaims seek four declaratory judgments construing
certain contracts among the parties that are largely the mirror image of our declaratory judgment
claims. In addition, the Counterclaims also seek monetary damages for purported breaches of
fiduciary duty and the duty of good faith and fair dealing, as well as fraudulent inducement,
against us and the third-party defendants jointly and severally. The Counterclaims further request
indemnification by ERC Sub, L.P., pursuant to a contract between the parties, and the imposition of
a constructive trust on our current assets to be disposed as part of any future liquidation of
Care, including all proceeds from those assets. Although the Counterclaims do not itemize their
asserted damages, they assign these damages a value of $100 million or more. In addition, the
Saada Parties filed a motion to dismiss our tortious interference and breach of the implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing claims on January 27, 2010. In response to the
Counterclaims, we filed on March 5, 2010, an omnibus motion to dismiss all of the Counterclaims.
On March 22, 2010, we received a letter from Cambridge Holdings, which asserted that the
transactions with Tiptree were in violation of our agreements with the Saada Parties.
The Saada Parties filed their opposition to our omnibus motion to dismiss on March 26, 2010,
and we filed our response on April 9, 2010.
On April 14, 2010, the Saada Parties motion to dismiss was denied and our motion to dismiss
was also denied.
On April 27, 2010, we filed an answer to the Saada Parties third-party complaint.
We continue to believe that the arguments advanced by Cambridge Holdings lack merit, however,
the outcome of this matter cannot currently be predicted. To date, Care has incurred approximately
$0.2 million to defend against this complaint. No provision for loss related to this matter has
been accrued at March 31, 2010.
Care is not presently involved in any other material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any
material litigation threatened against us or our investments, other than routine litigation arising
in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the costs, if any, incurred by us related
to litigation will not materially affect our financial position, operating results or liquidity.

13 Summarized Financial InformationPartially-Owned Entities
On December 31, 2007, Care, through its subsidiary ERC Sub, L.P., purchased an 85% equity
interest in eight limited liability entities owning nine medical office buildings with a value of
$263.0 million for $61.9 million in cash including the funding of certain reserve requirements. The
Seller was Cambridge Holdings Incorporated (Cambridge) and the interests were acquired through a

The Cambridge portfolio contains approximately 767,000 square feet and is located in major
metropolitan markets in Texas (8) and Louisiana (1). The properties are situated on leading medical
center campuses or adjacent to prominent acute care hospitals or ambulatory surgery centers.
Affiliates of Cambridge will act as managing general partners of the entities that own the
properties, as well as manage and lease these facilities.

LLC, (SMC) with an affiliate of Senior Management Concepts, LLC to acquire four independent and
assisted living facilities located in Utah.
The four facilities contain 243 independent living units and 165 assisted living units. The
properties were constructed in the last 25 years, and two were built in the last 10 years. Since
both transactions closed on December 31, 2007, the Company recorded no income or loss on these
investments for the period from June 22, 2007 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2007.

Tiptree Transaction
On March 16, 2010, we executed a definitive agreement with Tiptree for the sale of a
significant equity stake in the Company through a series of related transactions. Under the
agreement, the parties have agreed to sell a quantity of shares to the Buyer immediately following the completion of a cash tender offer by us for Cares outstanding common
shares. The quantity of shares to be sold to the Buyer will depend upon the quantity of shares
tendered, but is expected to represent at least 53.4% of the shares of the Companys common stock
on a fully diluted basis after completion of the Companys cash tender offer. The agreement is
subject to customary closing conditions and our ability to proceed with the cash tender offer.
In connection with the sale transaction contemplated by the agreement, we intend to make a
cash tender offer for up to 100% of the outstanding common shares of Care stock at an offer price
of $9.00 per share, subject to a minimum subscription of 10,300,000 shares of Care stock. Also, in
connection with the transaction, it is anticipated that the resulting company will be advised by an affiliate
of Tiptree.
We are in the process of seeking shareholder approval to abandon the plan of liquidation and
pursue the contemplated transactions described above. If the contemplated transactions are not
completed, we may pursue the plan of liquidation as approved by the stockholders on January 28 or
we may consider other strategic alternatives to liquidation. In the event that a liquidation of the
Company is pursued, material adjustments to these going concern financial statements may need to be
recorded to present liquidation basis financial statements. Material adjustments which may be
required for liquidation basis accounting primarily relate to reflecting assets and liabilities at
their net realizable value and costs to be incurred to carry out the plan of liquidation. After
such adjustments, we have estimated that the likely range of equity value which would be presented
in liquidation basis financial statements would be between $8.05 and 8.90 per share.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes included herein. This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. See Non-GAAP Financial
Measures and supporting schedules for reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the
comparable GAAP financial measures.
Overview
Care Investment Trust Inc. (all references to Care, the Company, we, us, and our
means Care Investment Trust Inc. and its subsidiaries) is an externally-managed real estate
investment trust (REIT) formed principally to invest in healthcare-related real estate and
mortgage debt. Care was incorporated in Maryland in March 2007, and we completed our initial
public offering on June 22, 2007. We were originally positioned to make mortgage investments in
healthcare-related properties, and to opportunistically invest in real estate through utilizing the
origination platform of our external manager, CIT Healthcare LLC (CIT Healthcare or our
Manager). We acquired our initial portfolio of mortgage loan assets from the Manager in exchange
for cash proceeds from our initial public offering and common stock. In response to dislocations
in the overall credit market, and in particular the securitized financing markets, in late 2007, we
redirected our focus to place greater emphasis on high quality healthcare-related real estate
equity investments.
Our Manager is a healthcare finance company that offers a full-spectrum of financing solutions
and related strategic advisory services to companies across the healthcare industry throughout the
United States. Our Manager was formed in 2004 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIT Group Inc.
(CIT), a leading middle market global commercial finance company that provides financial and
advisory services.
As of March 31, 2010, we maintained a diversified investment portfolio of $165.0 million which
was comprised of $54.4 million in real estate owned through unconsolidated joint ventures (33%),
$100.8 million in wholly-owned real estate (61%) and $9.8 million in investments in loans held at
the lower of cost or market (6%). Our current investments in healthcare real estate include
medical office buildings and assisted and independent living and Alzheimer facilities. Our loan
portfolio is composed of first mortgages on skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities
and senior apartments.
As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal taxes on our REIT taxable income to the
extent that we distribute our taxable income to stockholders and maintain our status as a qualified
REIT.
On March 16, 2010, we announced the entry into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with
Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. under which we have agreed to sell newly issued common stock to
Tiptree at $9.00 per share (the Transaction). The
quantity of shares to be sold to Tiptree will depend upon the
quantity of shares tendered, but is expected to represent at least
53.4% of the shares of the Company. Additionally, pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement and in
conjunction with the sale of newly issued common stock to Tiptree, we have agreed to launch a cash
tender offer to all of our stockholders to purchase up to all of our common stock at $9.00 per
share. The discussion of the terms of the purchase and sale agreement below is qualified in its
entirety by the terms of the agreement itself, which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the
Companys Form 8-K filed on March 16, 2010.
There can be no assurance that the Tiptree transaction or the associated tender offer will be
consummated in a timely fashion, under the same terms or at all.
Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2009 in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no significant changes to those policies
during the three month period ended March 31, 2010.

Results of Operations
Results for the three months ended March 31, 2010
Revenue
During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, we recognized $3.2 million of rental
revenue on the twelve properties acquired in the Bickford transaction in June 2008 and the
acquisition of two additional properties from Bickford in September 2008, as compared with $3.2
million during the comparable three month period ended March 31, 2009.
We earned investment income on our investments in mortgage loans of $0.7 million for the three
month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared with $2.9 million for the comparable three month
period ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately $2.2 million. Our investment in one
mortgage loan as of March 31, 2010 is a floating rate loan based upon LIBOR. The decrease in
income related to the mortgage loan portfolio is primarily attributable to a lower average
outstanding principal loan balance during the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared
with the comparable period during 2009, which was the result of loan prepayments and loan
sales that occurred throughout 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 in connection with the companys
decision to shift our operating strategy to place greater emphasis on acquiring high quality
healthcare-related real estate investments and away from mortgage investments. The decrease in
income related to our mortgage portfolio is also the result of the decrease in average LIBOR during
the quarter ended March 31, 2010 versus the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The average one month
LIBOR during the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was 0.23% as compared with 0.46% for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2009. Mitigating some of the decrease in LIBOR were interest
rate floors on certain of our mortgage investments which placed limits on how low the respective
loans could reset. Our mortgage portfolio consists of one variable rate investment with a spread
of 4.16% over one month LIBOR, with an effective yield of 4.41% and a maturity of 0.8 year. The
effective yield on the portfolio at the period ended March 31, 2009 was 6.29%.
Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded management fee expense payable to our
Manager under our Management Agreement of $0.4 million as compared with $0.6 million for the three
month period ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million. The decrease in
management fee expense is primarily attributable to the reduction in the monthly base management
fee in connection with the January 2010 amendment to the Management Agreement with our manager,
which also reduced the fee payable to our Manager upon termination of the Management Agreement from
$15.4 million to a buyout payment of $7.5 million, payable in three equal amounts of $2.5 million
as specified in the Amended and Restated Management Agreement. We recorded a buyout payment
expense of $7.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 in connection with the
obligation which includes the $2.5 million paid in the 2010 first quarter, the $2.5 million payment made April 1, 2010 and the final $2.5 million payment
to be made on the earlier of June 30, 2011 or upon termination of the agreement.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $1.8 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2010 and consist of fees for professional services, insurance, general overhead costs for the
Company and real estate taxes on our facilities, as compared with $2.3 million for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately $0.5 million. The decrease is primarily
the result of a reduction in strategic legal and advisory services, partially offset by an increase
in stock based compensation expense as a result of the change in the Companys stock price, which
is a factor in the remeasurement of the stock-based awards. We recognized expense of $63,000 for
the three month period ended March 31, 2010 related to stock-based compensation as compared with
expense of $5,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009, an increase of approximately
$58,000. The stock-based compensation amounts recorded include expense of $63,000 and $75,000
related to shares of our common stock earned by our independent directors as part of their
compensation for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease
in stock-based compensation to our directors was the result of fewer directors on our Board of
Directors. Each independent director is paid a base retainer of $100,000 annually, which is
payable 50% in cash and 50% in stock. Payments are made quarterly in arrears. Shares of our
common stock issued to our independent directors as part of their annual compensation vest
immediately and are expensed by us accordingly.
The management fees, expense reimbursements, and the relationship between our Manager and us
are discussed further in Note 8.
Loss from investments in partially-owned entities
For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, net loss from partially-owned entities
amounted to $0.6 million as compared with a loss of $0.9 million for the three month period ended
March 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million. Our equity in the non-cash operating
loss of the Cambridge properties for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $0.9 million, offset by
our share of equity income in the SMC properties of $0.3 million. Our share of the non-cash
operating loss of the Cambridge properties included $2.3 million attributable to our share of the
depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the Cambridge properties.
20
Unrealized loss on derivatives
We recorded a $0.6 million unrealized loss on the fair value of our obligation to issue
partnership units related to the Cambridge transaction for the three-month period ended March 31,
2010 as compared with an unrealized gain of $1.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31,
2009, an decrease of approximately $1.9 million.
Interest Expense
We incurred interest expense of $1.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010
as compared with interest expense of $2.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009,
a decrease of approximately $0.7 million. Interest expense for the quarter was related to the
interest payable on the mortgage debt which was incurred for the acquisition of 14 facilities from
Bickford. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to a $0.6 million write off of deferred
financing charges during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 and $0.1 million related to
the borrowings under our terminated warehouse line of credit during the three month period ended
March 31, 2009.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents were $136.6 million at March 31, 2010 as compared with $122.5
million at December 31, 2009, an increase of approximately $14.1 million. Cash during the first
three months of 2010 was generated from $15.8 million in proceeds from our investing activities,
offset by $1.0 million used in operating activities and $0.7 million used for financing activities
during the period.
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 amounted to
$1.0 million as compared with $3.2 million provided by operating activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately $4.2 million. Net loss before adjustments was
$8.4 million. Equity in the operating results of, and distributions from, investments in
partially-owned entities accounted for $2.2 million of the loss. Non-cash charges for
straight-line effects of lease revenue, gains on sales of loans, adjustment to our valuation
allowance on loans at LOCOM, amortization of deferred loan fees, amortization and write-off of
deferred financing costs, stock based compensation, unrealized loss on derivative instruments, and
depreciation and amortization provided $0.2 million. The net change in operating assets and
liabilities provided a net increase of $5.0 million and
consisted of an decrease in accrued
interest receivable and other assets of $0.7 million, offset by
a increase of $5.7 million in
accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities including amounts due to a related
party.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $15.8
million as compared with $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of
approximately $7.8 million. The decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of a loan to a
third party for $5.9 million and loan repayments received of $10.4 million, along with new
investments of $0.5 during the first three months of 2010, as compared with the sale of a loan to
our Manager for $22.5 million and receipt of $1.0 million for loan repayments during the comparable
period in 2009.
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.7
million as compared with net cash used in financing activities of $41.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $40.5 million. The decrease is primarily attributable
to cash used of $0.5 million for the purchase of treasury shares and $0.2 million for debt
repayment in the current three-month period as compared with the repayment of $37.8 million and
subsequent termination of our warehouse line of credit and payment of dividends totaling $3.4
million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including
ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain loans and other investments, pay
dividends and other general business needs. Our primary sources of liquidity are rental income
from our real estate properties, distributions from our joint ventures, net interest income earned
on our portfolio of mortgage loans and interest income earned from our available cash balances. We
also obtain liquidity from repayments of principal by our borrowers in connection with our loans.
As of April 30, 2010, the Company had $134.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Historically, we relied on borrowings under a warehouse line of credit along with a Mortgage
Purchase Agreement with our Manager to fund our investments. In October 2007, we obtained a
warehouse line of credit from Column Financial, an affiliate of Credit Suisse, under which we
borrowed funds collateralized by the mortgage loans in our portfolio. In March 2009, we repaid
these borrowings in full with cash on hand. In September 2008, we entered into an MPA with our
Manager in order to secure a potential additional source of liquidity. Pursuant to the MPA, we had
the right, subject to the conditions of the MPA, to cause the Manager to
21
purchase our mortgage loans at their then-current fair market value, as determined by a third
party appraiser. In January 2010, upon the effective date of the Amended and Restated Management
Agreement with our Manager on January 28, 2010, the MPA was terminated.
To maintain our status as a REIT under the Code, we must distribute annually at least 90% of
our REIT taxable income. These distribution requirements limit our ability to retain earnings and
thereby replenish or increase capital for operations.
Capitalization
As of March 31, 2010, we had 20,224,548 shares of common stock outstanding, plus 1,060,006
shares held in treasury.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, commodity prices, equity
prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business
plan, we expect that the primary market risks to which we will be exposed are real estate and
interest rate risks.
Real Estate Risk
The value of owned real estate, commercial mortgage assets and net operating income derived
from such properties are subject to volatility and may be affected adversely by a number of
factors, including, but not limited to, national, regional and local economic conditions which may
be adversely affected by industry slowdowns and other factors, local real estate conditions (such
as an oversupply of retail, industrial, office or other commercial space), changes or continued
weakness in specific industry segments, construction quality, age and design, demographic factors,
retroactive changes to building or similar codes, and increases in operating expenses (such as
energy costs). In the event net operating income decreases, or the value of property held for sale
decreases, a borrower may have difficulty paying our rent or repaying our loans, which could result
in losses to us. Even when a propertys net operating income is sufficient to cover the propertys
debt service, at the time an investment is made, there can be no assurance that this will continue
in the future.
The current turmoil in the residential mortgage market may continue to have an effect on the
commercial mortgage market and real estate industry in general.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including the availability of
liquidity, governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and
political considerations and other factors beyond our control.
Our operating results will depend in large part on differences between the income from assets
in our real estate and mortgage loan portfolio and our borrowing costs. At present, our variable
rate mortgage loan is funded by our equity as restrictive conditions in the securitized debt
markets have not enabled us to leverage the portfolio as we originally intended. Accordingly, the
income we earn on this loan is subject to variability in interest rates. At current investment
levels, changes in one month LIBOR at the magnitudes listed would have the following estimated
effect on our annual income from investments in loans held at LOCOM (one month LIBOR was 0.25% at
March 31, 2010):

In the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn,
delinquencies and defaults could increase and result in credit losses to us, which could adversely
affect our liquidity and operating results. Further, such delinquencies or defaults could have an
adverse effect on the spreads between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
22
Our funding strategy involves utilizing asset-specific debt to finance our real estate
investments. Currently, the availability of liquidity is constrained due to investor concerns over
dislocations in the debt markets, hedge fund losses, the large volume of unsuccessful leveraged
loan syndications and related impact on the overall credit markets. These concerns have materially
impacted liquidity in the debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive. We
cannot foresee when credit markets may stabilize and liquidity becomes more readily available.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds from Operations
Funds From Operations, or FFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is a widely recognized
measure of REIT performance. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which may not be comparable to
FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or
that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do.
The revised White Paper on FFO, approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in April 2002
defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses)
from debt restructuring and sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and
amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Adjusted Funds from Operations
Adjusted Funds From Operations, or AFFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate AFFO
as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from debt
restructuring and gains (losses) from sales of property, plus the expenses associated with
depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, non-cash equity compensation expenses, the
effects of straight lining lease revenue, excess cash distributions from the Companys equity
method investments and one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and other non-cash charges.
Proportionate adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will also be taken
when calculating the Companys AFFO.
We believe that FFO and AFFO provide additional measures of our core operating performance by
eliminating the impact of certain non-cash expenses and facilitating a comparison of our financial
results to those of other comparable REITs with fewer or no non-cash charges and comparison of our
own operating results from period to period. The Company uses FFO and AFFO in this way, and also
has used AFFO as a performance metric in the Companys executive compensation program. The Company
also believes that its investors also use FFO and AFFO to evaluate and compare the performance of
the Company and its peers, and as such, the Company believes that the disclosure of FFO and AFFO is
useful to (and expected of) its investors.
However, the Company cautions that neither FFO nor AFFO represent cash generated from
operating activities in accordance with GAAP and they should not be considered as an alternative to
net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), or an indication of our cash flow from operating
activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), a measure of our liquidity, or an indication of
funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. In
addition, our methodology for calculating FFO and / or AFFO may differ from the methodologies
employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and
accordingly, our reported FFO and / or AFFO may not be comparable to the FFO and AFFO reported by
other REITs.
FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were as follows

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no matter how well a control system is designed and operated, it can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within our
company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic
reports.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the
end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three
months ended March 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
On September 18, 2007, a class action complaint for violations of federal securities laws was
filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York alleging that the
Registration Statement relating to the initial public offering of shares of our common stock, filed
on June 21, 2007, failed to disclose that certain of the assets in the contributed portfolio were
materially impaired and overvalued and that we were experiencing increasing difficulty in securing
our warehouse financing lines. On January 18, 2008, the court entered an order appointing co-lead
plaintiffs and co-lead counsel. On February 19, 2008, the co-lead plaintiffs filed an amended
complaint citing additional evidentiary support for the allegations in the complaint. We believe
the complaint and allegations are without merit and intend to defend against the complaint and
allegations vigorously. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on April 22, 2008. The
plaintiffs filed an opposition to our motion to dismiss on July 9, 2008, to which we filed our
reply on September 10, 2008. On March 4, 2009, the court denied our motion to dismiss. Care filed
its answer on April 15, 2009. At a conference held on May 15, 2009, the Court ordered the parties
to make a joint submission (the Joint Statement) setting forth: (i) the specific statements that
Plaintiffs claim are false and misleading; (ii) the facts on which Plaintiffs rely as showing each
alleged misstatement was false and misleading; and (iii) the facts on which Defendants rely as
showing those statements were true. The parties filed the Joint Statement on June 3, 2009. On July
31, 2009, the parties entered into a stipulation that narrowed the scope of the proceeding to the
single issue of the warehouse financing disclosure in the Registration Statement. Fact discovery
closed on April 23, 2010. The Court has ordered the parties to file an abbreviated joint pre-trial
statement on June 9, 2010, and scheduled a pre-trial conference for June 11, 2010, at which the
Court will determine based on the joint pre-trial statement whether to permit us and the other
defendants to file a summary judgment motion. To date, Care has incurred approximately $1.0
million to defend against this complaint and any incremental costs to defend will be paid by Cares
insurer. No provision for loss related to this matter has been accrued at March 31, 2010.
On November 25, 2009, we filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of Texas against Mr. Jean-Claude Saada and 13 of his companies (the Saada Parties), seeking
declaratory judgments that (i) we have the right to engage in a business combination transaction
involving our company or a sale of our wholly owned subsidiary that serves as the general partner
of the partnership that holds the direct investment in the portfolio without the approval of the
Saada Parties, (ii) the contractual right of the Saada Parties to put their interests in the
Cambridge medical office building portfolio has expired and (iii) the operating partnership units
held by the Saada Parties do not entitle them to receive any special cash distributions made to our
stockholders. We also brought affirmative claims for tortious interference by the Saada Parties
with a prospective contract and for their breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair
dealing.
On January 27, 2010, the Saada Parties answered our complaint, and simultaneously filed
counterclaims and a third-party complaint (the Counterclaims) that named our subsidiaries ERC Sub
LLC and ERC Sub, L.P., external manager CIT Healthcare LLC, and board chairman Flint D. Besecker,
as additional third-party defendants. The Counterclaims seek four declaratory judgments construing
certain contracts among the parties that are largely the mirror image of our declaratory judgment
claims. In addition, the Counterclaims also seek monetary damages for purported breaches of
fiduciary duty and the duty of good faith and fair dealing, as well as fraudulent inducement,
against us and the third-party defendants jointly and severally. The Counterclaims further request
indemnification by ERC Sub, L.P., pursuant to a contract between the parties, and the imposition of
a constructive trust on our current assets to be disposed as part of any future liquidation of
Care, including all proceeds from those assets. Although the Counterclaims do not itemize their
asserted damages, they assign these damages a value of $100 million or more. In addition, the
Saada Parties filed a motion to dismiss our tortious interference and breach of the implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing claims on January 27, 2010. In response to the
Counterclaims, we filed on March 5, 2010, an omnibus motion to dismiss all of the Counterclaims.
On March 22, 2010, we received a letter from Cambridge Holdings, which asserted that the
transactions with Tiptree were in violation of our agreements with the Saada Parties.
The Saada Parties filed their opposition to our omnibus motion to dismiss on March 26, 2010,
and we filed our response on April 9, 2010.
On April 14, 2010, the Saada Parties motion to dismiss was denied and our motion to dismiss
was also denied.
On April 27, 2010, we filed an answer to the Saada Parties third-party complaint.
To date, Care has incurred approximately $0.2 million to defend against this complaint. No
provision for loss related to this matter has been accrued at March 31, 2010.
Care is not presently involved in any other material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any
material litigation threatened against us or our investments, other than routine litigation arising
in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the costs, if any, incurred by us related
to litigation will not materially affect our financial position, operating results or liquidity.
