ADCARE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These statements include the accounts of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in the consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the AdCare Health Systems, Inc.’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. In the opinion of the management of AdCare Health Systems, Inc., all adjustments considered for a fair presentation are included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities, such as options, warrants, and non-vested shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options and warrants with exercise prices exceeding the average market value are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The incremental shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represent the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. Due to the net losses attributable to AdCare Health Systems, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2011, no potentially dilutive securities have been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because they would automatically result in anti-dilution. At March 31, 2010, the effect of potentially dilutive securities included in the diluted earnings per share calculation was 2,526,199 shares, as retroactively adjusted from the stock dividend issued in the third quarter of 2010.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

There have been no required impairment adjustments to intangible assets and goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

NOTE 2.

LIQUIDITY AND PROFITABILITY

The Company had a net loss of approximately $942,000 and a net income of approximately $414,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and has working capital of approximately $1,746,000 at March 31, 2011. The Company’s ability to achieve sustained profitable operations is dependent on continued growth in revenue and controlling costs.

Management’s plans with the objective of improving liquidity and profitability in future years encompass the following:

increase facility occupancy.

add additional management contracts.

acquire existing cash flowing operations to expand our operations and branch out into other related areas of business.

Management believes that the actions that will be taken by the Company provide the opportunity for the Company to improve liquidity and achieve profitability. However, there can be no assurance that such events will occur.

NOTE 3.

SEGMENTS

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company is reporting in four segments: skilled nursing facilities (SNF), assisted living facilities (ALF), home based care (Home Health), and Management, Development and Corporate. The SNF and ALF segments provide services to individuals needing long term care in a nursing home or assisted living setting and management of those facilities. The Home Health segment provides home health care services to patients while they are living in their own homes. The Management, Development and Corporate segment engages in the management of facilities, developmental work on new projects and accounting services. All the Company’s revenues and assets are within the United States. We evaluate financial performance and allocate resources primarily based on segment operating income (loss).

Lines of Credit

On February 25, 2011, the Company joined five additional subsidiaries as additional borrowers in the Credit Agreement that was initially entered into on October 29, 2010, with Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC. The additional borrowers increased the amount of credit available to us and the maximum amount of the credit facility increased from $5,000,000 to $7,500,000.

The Credit Agreement with Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC, contains various financial covenants and other restrictions including a fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum loan turn days. The Company is required to maintain maximum loan turn days of less than twenty five days while the actual maximum loan turn days as of March 31, 2011, was thirty six days; therefore, the Company was not in compliance with this covenant. However, the Company received a waiver of compliance from Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC, on May 9, 2011.

Mortgage Notes

In February 2011, the Company refinanced the Mountain Trace facility through the issuance of a mortgage note payable insured 80% by the USDA with a financial institution for a total amount of $5,000,000 that matures in 2036. At March 31, 2011, the outstanding balance was approximately $4,984,000. The USDA mortgage note requires monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $31,700 adjusted quarterly with a variable interest rate of prime plus 1.75% with a floor of 5.75%. Deferred financing costs incurred on the loan amounted to approximately $174,000 and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. In addition, the loans have an annual renewal fee for the USDA guarantee of 0.25% of the guaranteed portion. The loans have prepayment penalties of 10% through 2011 declining by 1% each year capped at 1% for the for the first ten years. The loans have certain financial covenants of which the Company was in compliance at March 31, 2011.

NOTE 7. NOTES PAYABLE AND OTHER DEBT (continued)

Convertible Debt Issuance

On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) to sell and issue to the Purchasers an aggregate of $2,115,000 in principal amount of the Company’s Subordinated Convertible Notes (the “Notes”), bearing 10.0% interest per annum payable quarterly in cash in arrears beginning June 30, 2011. The Notes mature on March 31, 2014. Debt issuance costs of $559,100 are being amortized over the life of the debt.

The Notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $5.30. The initial conversion price is subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event.

The Notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to existing and future senior indebtedness.

Other Debt

On March 31, 2011, the Company entered a Promissory Note in the amount of $1,385,000. The promissory note bears interest at the rate of 12% and matures on July 1, 2011. The Company paid a commitment fee of 4% or $55,400 in connection with the promissory note. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, the Company obtained additional proceeds from additional issuances of the March convertible debt issuance. A portion of the net proceeds obtained were used to repay this promissory note.

NOTE 8. ACQUISITIONS

Mountain Trace Acquisition

On December 30, 2010, Mountain Trace Nursing ADK, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of the operations of and selected assets of 417 Mountain Trace LLC, a 106 bed skilled nursing facility located in Sylva, North Carolina, for a purchase price of approximately $6,200,000. This facility was acquired as part of the Company’s strategy to grow its presence outside of Ohio within the skilled nursing industry. Through the Operations Transfer Agreement, the Company obtained control of the facility effective January 1, 2011, the acquisition date. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized a total gain of approximately $1,100,000 in the consolidated statement of operations. The transaction resulted in a bargain purchase because the seller was motivated to sell the facility in order to retire restructure the composition of their facilities in the states in which they operate. The Company incurred approximately of approximately $125,000 for various acquisition related costs that are reflected net of the gain on acquisition in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The Company had paid $200,000 in earnest money upon entering the purchase agreement and an additional $50,000 to extend the closing date to December 30, 2010. To complete the acquisition, the Company issued a secured promissory note (the “Note”) for $5,000,000. The Note was to mature on June 30, 2011 and accrued interest at a fixed rate of 7% per annum and could be prepaid at any time without penalty. The Note was secured by the Mountain Trace facility and was guaranteed by AdCare Health Systems, Inc. and personally guaranteed by an officer of the Company.

On February 11, 2011, the Company refinanced the short term note that was entered for the Mountain Trace acquisition with a long term note. The new note is also for $5,000,000, has a term of 25 years and bears interest at prime rate of no less than 4% plus 1.75% (see Note 7).

NOTE 9. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Employee Common Stock Warrants

The company entered an employment agreement effective January 10, 2011. Terms of the agreement included equity compensation of a warrant to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price per share equal to $4.13 per share. One third of the warrants vested on January 10, 2011, and the remaining two thirds shall vest ratably on the day before each of the two subsequent anniversaries. The warrant is exercisable until the term expires in January, 2021. Using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, the fair value of the warrant was estimated at $2.72 per share and will be recognized as share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the award.

Nonemployee Common Stock Warrants

On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a financing arrangement for a promissory note up to a maximum of $5,500,000. In connection with this financing arrangement, the Company issued to the placement agent a warrant to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price per share equal to $5.30. The warrant is exercisable until the term expires in March, 2014. Using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, the fair value of the warrant was estimated at $1.32 per share and will be recognized as expense over the term of the related promissory note.

NOTE 10.

Overview

We are a Springfield, Ohio based developer, owner and manager of retirement communities, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and provide home health care services. As of March 31, 2011, we operate twenty-eight facilities, comprised of twenty skilled nursing centers, seven assisted living residences and one independent living/senior housing facility, totaling approximately 2,600 units. Our communities are located in Ohio, Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, we became the owner and operator of two additional skilled nursing centers with an aggregate of 235 units.

We have an ownership interest in eleven of the facilities we operate, comprised of 100% ownership of five of the skilled nursing centers and six assisted living facilities. We have lease agreements on eleven skilled nursing facilities. The assisted living facilities that we own operate under the name Hearth & Home, with the tag line “Home is where the hearth is…” We also maintain a development/consulting initiative which provides potential management opportunities to our core long-term care business. AdCare Health Systems, Inc. and Hearth & Home are registered trademarks.

Acquisitions

We have embarked on a strategy to grow our business through acquisitions and leases of senior care facilities and businesses providing services to those facilities. During 2009, we engaged a Chief Acquisitions Officer with the primary purpose of identifying acquisition opportunities in the Midwestern and Southeastern United States. For a detailed discussion of acquisition activity through December 31, 2010, see the Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in our Annual Report.

Effective January 1, 2011, we acquired the operations of and selected assets of Mountain Trace; a 106 bed skilled nursing facility located in Sylva, North Carolina. Through the Operations Transfer Agreement, we obtained control of the facility effective January 1, 2011. We had paid $200,000 in earnest money upon entering the purchase agreement and an additional $50,000 to extend the closing date to December 30, 2010. To complete the acquisition, we issued a secured promissory note (the “Note”) for $5,000,000. The Note was secured by the Mountain Trace facility and was guaranteed by AdCare Health Systems, Inc. and personally guaranteed by Christopher Brogdon and his spouse Connie Brogdon. The Note, scheduled to mature on June 30, 2011, accrued interest at a fixed rate of 7% per annum. On February 2, 2011, the Note was refinanced with a permanent loan for $5,000,000 from Community Bank & Trust-West Georgia guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture. The permanent loan is for 25 years and bears interest equal to the prime rate plus 1.75%.

On April 29, 2011, we acquired the operations of and selected assets of Southland Care Center; a 126 bed skilled nursing facility located in Dublin, Georgia. Through an Operations Transfer Agreement, we obtained control of the facility effective May 1, 2011. The purchase price was $6,850,000. Also, on April 29, 2011, we acquired the operations of and selected assets of Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center; a 109 bed skilled nursing facility located in Marietta, Georgia. The purchase price was $5,900,000. Through an Operations Transfer Agreement, we obtained control of the facility effective May 1, 2011.

The Company had paid $500,000 in earnest money upon entering the purchase agreement and an additional $400,000 to extend the closing date to April 29, 2011. To complete the acquisitions, we entered into two promissory notes in the aggregate of $10,300,000. The notes mature on April 30, 2012, accrue interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum and may be repaid without penalty. The notes are secured by the facilities and guaranteed by AdCare Health Systems, Inc. We plan to replace this short term financing with long term financing prior to the loan maturity dates.

We are currently evaluating acquisition opportunities in addition to those described above and we continue to seek new opportunities to further our growth strategy. No assurances can be made that any of these opportunities will be determined to be appropriate or that they may be acquired on terms acceptable to us.

Segments

As of March 31, 2011, our business operates in four segments: skilled nursing facilities (“SNF”), assisted living facilities (“ALF”), home health and management and development. In our skilled nursing and assisted living segments, we operate, have ownership interests in or lease twenty-two facilities for which we collect fees from the residents of those facilities. Profits/losses are generated to the extent that the monthly patient fees exceed the costs associated with operating those facilities. In our home health segment profits/losses are generated to the extent that the monthly patient fees exceed the costs associated with providing services to patients in their homes. In our management and development segment, we manage an aggregate of six assisted living facilities, nursing homes and an independent living campus all of which are owned by third parties. With respect to these facilities, we receive a management fee based on the revenue generated by the facilities. Within our management and development segment, we provide development, consulting and accounting services to third parties. In these instances, we receive a fee for providing those services. These fees vary from project to project, with the development fee in most cases being based on a percentage of the total cost to develop the project.


	Number of Units	Owned	Leased	Managed for Third Parties	Total
Skilled nursing	2,193	5	11	4	20
Assisted living	301	6	-	1	7
Independent living	83	-	-	1	1
Total	2,577	11	11	6	28

Skilled Nursing Facility Segment

We focus on two primary indicators in evaluating the financial performance in this segment. Those indicators are facility occupancy and staffing. Facility staffing is important because payroll and related payroll costs represent approximately 58% of our total operating costs. Staffing levels and the quality of staff are closely monitored by management to make sure costs are maintained within expected levels and to assure a high level of quality services. Facility occupancy is important as higher occupancy generally leads to higher revenue. In addition, concentrating on increasing the number of Medicare and commercial insurance covered admissions helps in increasing revenue. We include commercial insurance covered admissions that are reimbursed at the same level as those covered by Medicare in our Medicare utilization percentages and analysis.


Skilled Nursing Facilities
	Average Occupancy
AdCare average, March 31, 2011	87.2%
AdCare average, March 31, 2010	83.4%

We continue our work towards maximizing the number of patients covered by Medicare where our profit margins are typically higher. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the percentage of patients covered by Medicare in our skilled nursing facilities was 15.3% compared to 13.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. We have undertaken several initiatives to increase census in our skilled nursing segment including bi-weekly conference calls to discuss census development, advertising campaigns, a sales incentive system and multiple public events at facilities to increase community interaction and facility visibility.

Medicare reimbursement rates and procedures are subject to change from time to time, which could materially impact our revenue. Medicare reimburses our skilled nursing facilities under a prospective payment system (PPS) for certain inpatient covered services. Under the PPS, facilities are paid a predetermined amount per patient, per day, based on the anticipated costs of treating patients. The amount to be paid is determined by classifying each patient into a resource utilization group (RUG) category that is based upon each patient’s acuity level. As of October 1, 2010, the RUG categories were expanded from 53 to 66 with the introduction of MDS 3.0. Should future changes in skilled nursing facility payments reduce rates or increase the standards for reaching certain reimbursement levels, our Medicare revenues could be reduced, with a corresponding adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

On April 28, 2011, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the annual Skilled Nursing Facility Prospective Payment System (SNF PPS) Rule for fiscal year 2012. The proposed rule provides for two different scenarios and seeks input as CMS decides which to implement on October 1, 2011. In option one, CMS attempts to adjust for the unanticipated impact of RUGS-IV. The rule states that to make RUGS IV revenue neutral, CMS must cut reimbursement rates by approximately 12.8%. After factoring in the 1.5% market basket increase, the net impact would be an 11.3% rate reduction effective October 1, 2011. Under option two, CMS would update the market basket index for fiscal year 2012 by 2.7%. Providers would then take a 1.2% percent adjustment as a result of the Affordable Care Act. The net result is a gain of 1.5%. This proposal is now being reviewed by various local and national health care advocacy groups. The outcome of the proposal is not certain at this time.

The Governor of the State of Ohio is currently preparing the state Biennial Budget for the period covering 2011-2013. The Governor and his administration have released several statements regarding Medicaid indicating that cuts in reimbursement to nursing homes are likely. Early estimates indicate Medicaid spending cuts in Ohio could be as high as 7%. The budget process is not complete. At this time, no significant changes are anticipated in Alabama, Georgia or North Carolina. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, Medicaid covered patients of our skilled nursing facilities comprised approximately 76.9% of our total skilled nursing facility patients.

Assisted Living Facility Segment

Similar to our skilled nursing segment, in our assisted living segment, we focus on facility occupancy and staffing.


Assisted Living Facilities
	Average Occupancy
AdCare average, March 31, 2011	72.5%
AdCare average, March 31, 2010	85.4%

We believe the current economic conditions have contributed to the decline in occupancy. Residents of our assisted living facilities rely on their personal investments and wealth to pay for their stay. Recent declines in market values of investments could limit their ability to pay for services or shorten the period of time for which they can pay privately for their stay. The depressed market for the sale of homes could limit their ability to sell their personal assets further reducing their ability to remain in our facilities. Furthermore, adult children who have recently become unemployed may decide to care for their parent at home so that their parent’s income may help offset some of their own financial burdens. We do not believe this is a trend and we believe facility occupancy will improve.

We have undertaken several initiatives to improve census in our assisted living segment including advertising campaigns, a sales incentive system and multiple public events at facilities to increase community interaction and facility visibility. Additionally, we have added a new sales/marketing position to consult with facility level sales staff on census development.

Home Based Care Segment

In addition to providing home health care services to patients in their homes, we are utilizing our home health services in our assisted living and independent living properties in Ohio to create cross selling opportunities. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the percentage of our home health patients covered by Medicare has decreased to 16.5% compared 23.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. While we have experienced recent declines in the number of patients we are serving for home health services, we don’t believe this is a trend. We continue to pursue marketing initiatives to improve our referrals and increase the number of patients we are providing services to.

Management, Development and Corporate Segment

We manage five skilled nursing facilities, two assisted living facilities and one independent living campus for third party owners. Additionally, we provide accounting services to one skilled nursing facility. Our contracts for these services are for either a fixed monthly fee or for a percentage of revenue generated by the managed facility. Depending on the type of contract, our revenues increase annually according to inflationary adjustments stipulated in our management agreements or they increase as the facility’s revenue increases for the contracts that are based on a percentage of revenue. Management consulting and development fee revenue has decreased $10,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily as a result of lower consulting revenue.

This segment includes our corporate overhead expenses which are made up of salaries of senior management team members and various other corporate expenses including but not limited to corporate office operating expenses, audit fees, legal fees and board activities. Additionally, non cash charges for compensation expense related to warrants, restricted stock and stock options are included in corporate overhead. We don’t allocate these expenses to the divisions or separate them from management and development business for management review purposes.

The table below contains our segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Skilled Nursing Facilities

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, revenue in our skilled nursing segment increased approximately $24,802,000 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, as a result of acquisitions. Additionally, revenue in our legacy properties (those that we owned and operated prior to our recent acquisitions which began in August, 2010) increased by approximately $81,200. This segment had a net income from operations of $505,000 which is $409,000 higher compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of higher revenue due to increased occupancy and more residents covered by Medicare.. We plan to increase facility occupancy and to increase the number of patients covered by Medicare. We expect to continue to implement and refine strategies to achieve these goals. Total assets increased $55,696 due to acquisitions made since March 31, 2010.

Assisted Living Facilities

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, revenue in our assisted living segment increased approximately $449,000 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, as a result of increased revenue from acquisitions. Additionally, revenue in our legacy properties (those that we owned and operated prior to our acquisition of Riverchase in June, 2010) increased by approximately $84,800. This segment had income from operations of $204,000 which is $41,000 less than 2010 as a result of lower occupancy offset by annual increase in rates charged to residents of the facilities. We have a number of initiatives in place to help improve the occupancy. Total assets increased $6,441,000 primarily due acquisitions made during the year.

Home Health Segment

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, revenue in our home based care segment declined approximately $186,000 as a result of fewer patients and fewer patients covered by Medicare. The decline in revenues resulted in a loss from operations of approximately $56,000 which is $100,000 less than in 2010. The decrease in total assets was primarily the result of depreciation. We continue to pursue marketing initiatives to improve our referrals and increase the number of patients we are providing services to.

Management, Development and Corporate Segment

Management consulting and development fee revenue has decreased approximately $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. Net loss from operations was $296,000 due primarily to corporate overhead, costs for acquisitions and non cash charges for compensation expense related to warrants, restricted stock and employee stock options.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

There have been no significant changes during the three month period ended March 31, 2011 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and use of estimates in our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

Revenue


	March 31, 2011	March 31, 2010	Increase/ (Decrease)	% Change
Patient care revenue	$31,012,524	$5,866,787	$25,145,737	428.6%
Management, consulting and development fee revenue	497,341	507,731	(10,390)	(2.0)%
	$31,509,865	$6,374,518	$25,135,347	394.3%

For the periods compared, patient care revenue increased $25,145,737 or 428.6%. Revenue increased $25,166,000 as a result of our acquisitions that began primarily in the third quarter of 2010. This increase was offset by a decrease in revenue in our legacy properties (those properties that we owned and operated prior to our recent acquisitions which began in August, 2010) of approximately $20,000. The average occupancy in our legacy skilled nursing centers increased .4% while the number of residents covered by Medicare increased to 15.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 13.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 resulting in an increase in revenue of approximately $81,200. The average occupancy in our legacy assisted living facilities declined 12.9%; however, revenue in our assisted living centers increase $84,800 as a result of an annual increase in rates charged to privately paying residents offsetting lower occupancy levels. Home health revenue declined approximately $186,000 as a result of services provided to fewer patients as well as fewer Medicare patients overall. Management, consulting and development fee revenue decreased approximately $10,400 or 2% primarily as a result of lower consulting fees.

Operating Expenses


	March 31, 2011	March 31, 2010	Increase	% Change

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by $24,664,000 or 380.1%. Payroll and related payroll costs increased by $14,055,000 or 346.1%. Payroll and related payroll costs increased $13,311,000 as a result of our acquisitions. The remaining increase of $744,000 is due primarily to additional corporate overhead payroll as a result of our growth and approximately $174,000 in additional noncash charges related to stock based compensation.

Other operating expenses increased $8,449,000 or 415.5%. Approximately $8,032,000 was as a result of acquisitions. Approximately $417,000 of the increase was due primarily to increased expenses related to audit fees, higher legal fees, consulting fees for investment bankers and investor relations and Board activities.

Lease expense increased $1,752,000 or 1158.8% as a result of entering ten new operating leases for skilled nursing facilities beginning in the third quarter of 2010.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $409,000 or 168.5% primarily due to depreciation of the assets of facilities acquired, included recognized intangible assets, and routine additions of fixed assets and their related depreciation expense.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $357,000. When compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 loss from operations of approximately $114,000, this represents an increase of approximately $471,000. This is primarily a result of increased revenue as described above.

Other Income and Expense


	March 31, 2011	March 31, 2010	Change	% Change
Interest income	$19,159	$5,689	$13,470	236.8%
Interest expense	(1,459,349)	(292,945)	(1,166,404)	398.2%
Gain on acquisitions, net of acquisition costs	979,339	825,989	153,350	18.6%
Derivative loss	(1,349,866)	-	(1,349,866)	100.0%
Other income	608,165	-	608,165	100.0%
	$(1,202,552)	$538,733	$(1,741,285)	(323.2)%

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, interest expense increased approximately $1,166,000 primarily due to interest expense on additional debt incurred as a result of acquisitions. Gain on acquisitions, net of acquisition costs were the result of gains recognized on the acquisition of the Sylva, North Carolina facility during the first quarter, 2011. The derivative loss of $1,350,000 was a result of a fair market value adjustment to the derivative liability that was established in the fourth quarter of 2010. On October 29, 2010, we entered a convertible debt agreement that included a conversion feature that was not indexed to our common stock. As a result, we recognized a liability that must be adjusted to fair market value at each financial statement reporting date. These adjustments are recognized as a gain or loss on the derivative depending upon the relative change in fair market value. Other income is a result of a gain of approximately $608,000 recognized as a result of collection of accounts receivable acquired during 2010 in excess of the fair market value originally assigned to the accounts receivable.

Summary

Loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was approximately $845,000 compared to a net income of approximately $425,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of approximately $1,270,000.

Income tax expense of approximately $96,400 for three months ended March 31, 2011, is related to the amortization of purchased goodwill and indefinite lived assets under Internal Revenue Code section 197. However, as a result of existing loss carry forwards no tax will actually be paid by the Company.

Net loss attributable to AdCare Health Systems for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was approximately $765,000 compared to a net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010, of approximately $410,000, a decrease of approximately $1,175,000 as a result of the items described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We had net working capital as of March 31, 2011, of approximately $1,746,000 as compared to net working capital of approximately $708,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $1,038,000. This increase is primarily the result of increased accounts receivable as a result of our growth and increased cash from our acquisition financing activities.

Some of our properties are financed with loans secured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). These loans limit our use of the cash generated by the properties for purposes other than to fund the operations of the HUD financed property. In January and July each year, we are permitted to withdraw cash from these properties if a calculation of cash flow determines that the properties have generated cash in excess of what is needed to fund the expenses of the property in the short term. When the calculation indicates there is available cash, we withdraw the funds from the property and deposit them in an interest bearing checking account and hold them for future use in operations. Of our unrestricted cash balance of approximately $9,704,000, there was approximately $870,000 of cash that was subject to these requirements representing approximately 9% of our unrestricted cash balance as of March 31, 2011.

On March 31, 2011, the we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) to sell and issue to the Purchasers an aggregate of $2,115,000 in principal amount of our

Subordinated Convertible Notes (the “Notes”), bearing 10.0% interest per annum payable quarterly in cash in arrears beginning June 30, 2011. The Notes mature on March 31, 2014. The Notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price $5.30. The initial conversion price is subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event. The Notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to existing and future senior indebtedness.

Also, on March 31, 2011, the Company entered a Promissory Note in the amount of $1,385,000. The promissory note bears interest at the rate of 12% and matures on July 1, 2011. The Company paid a commitment fee of 4% or $55,400 in connection with the promissory note. On April 29, 2011, we issued an additional $1,783,700 in principal amount of the convertible debt issuance discussed in Note 7. On May 6, 2011, the Company issued an additional $610,000 in principal amount of the convertible debt issuance. Net proceeds obtained, after issuance costs, was approximately $2,170,000. Of this amount, approximately $1,427,000 was used to repay a short-term promissory note and related accrued interest.

On February 25, 2011, we joined five additional AdCare subsidiaries as additional borrowers in the Credit Agreement that was initially entered into on October 29, 2010, with Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC. The additional borrowers increased the amount of credit available to us and the maximum amount of the credit facility increased from $5,000,000 to $7,500,000. On April 26, 2011, we joined two additional AdCare subsidiaries as additional borrowers in the Credit Agreement. The additional borrowers increased the amount of credit available to us by $1,200,000.

We plan to further improve liquidity by 1) refinancing debt where possible to obtain more favorable terms, 2) increasing facility occupancy, add additional management contracts and expand our home health operations and 3) engaged financial advisors to assist the Company in identifying, evaluating and securing alternative capital, financing and investment sources to fund the our strategic business plan.

Cash Flow

Our cash requirements are satisfied primarily with cash generated from operating activities, financing activities and additional indebtedness. Our cash flow is dependent on our ability to collect accounts receivable in a timely manner. The majority of our revenue is from Medicaid and Medicare programs. These are reliable payment sources which make our likelihood of collection very high. However, the time it takes to receive payment on a claim from these sources can take up to several months. On average, accounts receivable were outstanding approximately 36 days before collection as of March 31, 2011, and 26 days as of December 31, 2010. The status of accounts receivable collections is monitored very closely by our senior management.

Three months ended March 31, 2011

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was approximately $783,000 consisting primarily of our net loss from operations less the noncash gain on acquisitions, and changes in working capital partially offset by other noncash charges (primarily depreciation and amortization, the derivative loss, share-based compensation, difference between straight-line rent and rent paid, and amortization of debt discounts and related deferred financing costs); all primarily the result of routine operating activity.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was approximately $545,000. This is primarily the result of deposits for acquisitions and the purchase of additional equipment offset partially by reductions in restricted cash and investments.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $5,555,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This is primarily the result of proceeds from the convertible debt issuance net of issuance costs on March 31, 2011, and increases in borrowings on the line of credit partially offset by repayments of existing debt obligations.

Three months ended March 31, 2010

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $118,000 consisting primarily of our net loss from operations and changes in working capital partially offset by noncash charges; all primarily the result of routine operating activity.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $743,000. This is primarily the result of escrow deposits for the pending acquisitions of two Alabama facilities, the purchase of the 50% noncontrolling interest in Community’s Hearth & Home and Hearth & Home of Urbana, and the purchase of additional equipment partially offset by an increase in restricted cash due to routine payment into HUD required escrow accounts.

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This is primarily the result of routine principal payments on existing loans partially offset by $57,000 drawn from our line of credit and $100,000 received upon the exercise of warrants.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
