Nationwide Health Properties : NEWPORT BEACH

Nature of business: Investment trust specializing in health-care facilities. Total employees: 8 In Orange County: 8 Stock listing in The Times: On NYSE “NatHP” Ticker symbol: “NHP” Friday’s stock close: $38.25 One-week change: Down $0.63 Analyst review: “Nationwide Health Properties is a conservatively managed, equity-oriented company with a primary emphasis on acquisition and ownership of nursing homes. It does not operate the facilities. Instead, it leases them on a long-term basis to high-quality operators. In the next few months it will most likely announce the acquisition of additional properties. For now, it will continue to be affected by investor uncertainty toward health care stocks until more is known about health care policy reforms. But in the long-term, there will be many good things to come out of its nursing home investment emphasis.”

Corporate outlook: “Our quarterly growth is largely the result of the acquisition of performing mortgages worth $95 million in July, 1992. We will continue to focus on nursing home properties, since the demographics of the population indicate an ongoing need and upcoming health care reforms will not be detrimental to these comparatively low-cost providers.”

--Mark Desmond, CFO
