Cost of Senior Housing (Average Monthly Rent by Care Segment) Implications of Growing Income Disparity (Real Median Income by Age Cohort) Stratification of Median Income (Share of 65+ Households by Income Group) Source: Center for Housing Policy tabulations of 2009 American Housing Survey 2
Housing Costs as a Percent of Income Reliance on Social Security Average Social Security Benefit January 2013 = $1,155/month Percentage of Beneficiary Unit 65+ with Income from Social Security, 2010 77% 65% 62% 70% 51% 45% 50% or more 36% 33% 38% 90% or more 100% 24% 26% 23% 24% 29% 18% 65+ 65 69 70 74 75 79 80+ Source: Social Security Administration, Income of the Population 55 or Older, 2010 Defining the Market Financial Assets of Older Adults Median per capita retirement and financial assets (excluding home ownership): $105,000 in 2015 Median financial assets range from ~ $24,000 to ~ $337,000 Nearly 40% of people age 62+ are projected to have financial assets < $25,000 over next 20 years Median Income of Older Adults Median income: $53,657 in 2015 Middle-income market for older adults = range of household incomes between $36,000 and $107,000 Who is Middle Income Pew Research Center defines middle-income adults as household incomes between two-thirds and twice the national median income 47% of today s older adults 44% in 2001 39% in 1971 Source: The Urban Institute and LeadingAge White Paper, Addressing the Gap in Senior Housing Today: Creating Opportunities in the Mid Market 3
What is our challenge...and opportunity? How do we broaden access to quality senior housing to the middle income? Gap exits between highend and affordable / subsidized products Must be interdisciplinary Architects Contractors/Builders Developers Lenders Operators What is our challenge...and opportunity? What are key metrics that define moderate / middle income market? Targeted median income Home values Cost / sq. foot Other considerations What other models exist that could more moderate pricing Hub and Spoke Modest entrance fee to lower monthly fee Concept of Middle Income Senior Campus Development 1 bedroom, 800 SF, $1,700/month 2 bedroom, 1,538 SF, $3,250/month Full support amenities and common space Modest refundable but in $50,000-$75,000, amount is deducted by rent based on cost of capital adjustment thereby reducing rent $200-$300 per month 4

Driving Down Costs to Provide Greater Value What opportunities exist to reduce project costs & provide greatest consumer value? Project Design & Construction geared towards consumer demands and willingness/ ability to pay? Professional Fees developer, marketer, architect, contractor, banker, etc. Cost of Capital seed capital, short and long term financing alternatives Driving Down Costs to Provide Greater Value Time = Money Can lowering price point increase speed to market? o Length of presales period for entrance fee communities o No pre sales required for rental communities o Length of fill up time to break even and stabilization How much money can be saved by shortening time frames? Can savings be passed on to the consumer to achieve quicker results? Driving Down Costs to Provide Greater Value Interest Reserves Debt Service Reserve Fund Not Required in Bank Financing Capitalized Interest During Construction 1. Utilize Draw Down Financing Interest paid as Funds Advanced (Drawn Down) rather than from entire issue at closing Bank & some investment funds offer draw down structure 2. Step Up Coupon Interest rate low during construction; steps up to agreed upon rates at pre-determined intervals Applicable to Municipal Bonds 8

Financing Options Long Term Fixed RIA Direct Bond Bank Financing Rate Bonds Purchase HUD/FHA Lowest cost of capital X X No interest rate / market access risk X X X Fast and efficient closing X X Minimize negative arbitrage X X X Avoid debt service reserve requirement X X Avoid loan to value constraints X X Avoid ancillary business requirement X X X Maximize flexibility for future borrowing and covenants X Comparison of Financing Structures Compare the cumulative impact over a 10 year period for a $30 million project borrowing under the following four financing scenarios: 1. Traditional Fixed Rate Bonds Assuming a 5.5% interest rate on the bonds and a 1.0% interest earnings rate on the escrowed bond proceeds, which are assumed to all be borrowed at closing and drawn down ratably over a 20 month construction period. 2. Fixed Rate Draw Down Bonds The same assumptions as Scenario #1, but with bond proceeds borrowed as needed to pay construction costs over 20 months, similar to a construction loan. This scenario demonstrates the financial impact of eliminating negative arbitrage on borrowed funds. 3. Taxable Bank Loan Assumes the $30 million is drawn down ratably over 20 months under a taxable loan at an all in rate of 3.0%. 4. Tax Exempt Direct Bank Placement Same as Scenario #3, but assuming the borrowing is at a tax exempt all in rate of 2.0%. Comparison of Financing Structures 10
