Financial and Operating Results
Windrose reported second quarter 2006 rental revenues of $22.5 million, compared to $10.2 million for the second quarter 2005, a 119.5% increase. Second quarter 2006 corporate general and administrative expenses were $1.8 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same quarter in 2005, a 76.6% increase. These general and administrative expenses included $122,000 of abandoned transaction expense in the 2006 second quarter related to two acquisitions that Windrose determined not to complete as not being in the best interest of shareholders.
Second quarter 2006 net income was $1.5 million, compared to $1.2 million for the second quarter 2005, a 31.2% increase. Second quarter 2006 net income available for common shareholders after preferred dividends was $539,000, or $0.03 per diluted share based on 20.4 million weighted average common shares outstanding, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share based on 14.1 million weighted average common shares outstanding, for the second quarter 2005.
Second quarter 2006 funds from operations (FFO), comprised of net income plus depreciation and amortization from real estate, was $5.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share on an increased share base, compared to $3.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2005. Second quarter 2006 funds available for distribution (FAD), which consists of FFO adjusted primarily for straight-line rent, above/below market rents, and amortization of deferred financing fees, was $5.3 million, compared to $3.3 million for the second quarter 2005.
Hospital Affiliates Development Corp. (HADC), Windrose's taxable development subsidiary, generated a second quarter 2006 pre-tax loss of approximately $46,000, as compared to a second quarter 2005 pre-tax profit of approximately $23,000. The second quarter 2006 after-tax loss was approximately $28,000 compared to a second quarter 2005 after tax profit of approximately $28,000 compared to a second quarter 2005 profit of approximately $14,000.
In April 2006, Windrose completed a public offering of 2.6 million common shares, including the underwriters' over-allotment, at $14.80 per share resulting in total net proceeds of approximately $36.5 million after underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses.
Also in April, the Company's development subsidiary, HADC, was retained to manage the project implementation of a $75 million expansion and renovation of an acute care hospital. Under the Program Management Agreement, HADC, as the owner's representative, will manage the work of third party professionals in connection with the site's due diligence, design, equipping and construction. The project is a 200,000 square foot expansion and a 21,000 square foot renovation of Sumner Regional Medical Center (SRMC) on a fee-for-service basis for ownership by Sumner Regional Medical in Gallatin, TN.
In June, Windrose acquired five medical office buildings for aggregate consideration of $29.4 million. The properties represent more than 300,000 rentable square feet, with three of the buildings connected to the Princeton campus of a hospital affiliated with Baptist Health System of Birmingham, AL. As part of the transaction, Windrose will be self-developing an estimated 60,000 square foot medical office building on the Citizens Baptist Medical Center campus in Talladega, AL for Baptist.
In August, Windrose acquired three specialty hospitals for $26.2 million. With more than 169,000 rentable square feet, the transaction diversifies the Company's portfolio into the long-term acute care and rehabilitation sectors.
Fred Klipsch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "We continue to expand the Windrose property portfolio by acquiring and developing high quality, specialty medical properties. At the end of the quarter, our property portfolio consisted of $720 million in gross asset value and generated $22.5 million in second quarter rental revenues, a 120% increase over the prior year. We have made progress on the acquisition front over the past four months with the acquisition of five medical office buildings and three hospitals. Year to date, our acquisitions total $55.6 million, positioning us well on track to meet our $100 million acquisition goal."
Fred Farrar, President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, "We are focused on strengthening our balance sheet as exemplified by the utilization of the proceeds from the April stock offering to pay down debt. Our asset management team has made significant strides on the leasing front that has lead to occupancy increasing to 94% across the portfolio at the end of the second quarter of 2006 and to over 96% at the end of the second quarter of 2006 across the 21 property portfolio acquired in the fourth quarter of 2005."

About Windrose
Windrose is a self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) based in Indianapolis, Indiana with offices in Nashville, Tennessee. Windrose was formed to acquire, selectively develop and manage specialty medical properties, such as medical office buildings, ambulatory surgery centers, outpatient treatment diagnostic facilities, physician group practice clinics, specialty hospitals and treatment centers.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial information that is generally provided by most publicly-traded REITs and that we believe may be of interest to the investment community. Reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures are included in the schedule accompanying this press release and on Windrose's web site at http://www.windrosempt.com/ under the heading "Financial Reports" on the "Investor Center" section of Windrose's web site.
Windrose believes that FFO is helpful in understanding Windrose's operating performance in that FFO excludes depreciation and amortization expense on real estate assets. Windrose believes that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, whose value does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost depreciation implies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. The White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in April 2002 defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after comparable adjustments for Windrose's portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities and joint ventures. A reconciliation of Windrose's second quarter 2006 and 2005 FFO to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is included in a schedule accompanying this press release.
Windrose's management considers funds available for distribution ("FAD") to be a useful liquidity measure because FAD provides investors with an additional basis to evaluate the ability of Windrose to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures and distributions to shareholders and unit holders. Windrose derives FAD by adjusting FFO for certain non-cash items such as the straight line rent adjustment, above/below market lease rents, amortization of loan fees, and depreciation of property, plant and equipment. A reconciliation of Windrose's second quarter 2006 and 2005 FAD to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is included in a schedule accompanying this press release.

(1) The Company believes that FFO is helpful in understanding the
Company's operating performance in that FFO excludes depreciation and
amortization expense on real estate assets. The Company believes that
GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally
not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, whose value
does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost
depreciation implies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative
to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a
measure of liquidity. The White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of
Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") in April 2002 defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in
accordance with GAAP), excluding gains from sales of properties, plus
real estate related depreciation and amortization and after comparable
adjustments for the Company's portion of these items related to
unconsolidated entities and joint ventures.
(2) The Company's management considers funds available for distribution
("FAD") to be a useful liquidity measure because FAD provides
investors with an additional basis to evaluate the ability of the
Company to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures and
distributions to shareholders and unit holders. The Company derives
FAD by adjusting FFO for certain non-cash items such as the straight
line rent adjustment, above/below market lease rents, amortization of
loan fees, and depreciation of non-real estate property, plant and
equipment.
The Company's calculations of FFO and FAD may not be comparable to FFO
and FAD reported by other real estate investment trusts ("REITs") due
to the fact that not all REITs use the same definitions. FFO and FAD
should not be considered as alternatives to net income as indicators
of the Company's operating performance or alternatives to cash flows
as measures of liquidity. FFO and FAD do not measure whether cash
flow is sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash needs, including
principal amortization, capital expenditures, and distributions to
shareholders and unit holders. Additionally, FFO and FAD do not
represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities
as defined by GAAP.
