        <ReturnReference>Part X, Line 2:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Part X, Line 2: A FIN 48 footnote was included in the consolidated audited financial statements of Covenant Retirement Communities, Inc. and affiliates which states: "Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Retirement Communities and recognize a tax liability if the Retirement Communities have taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS or other applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Retirement Communities and has concluded that as of January 31, 2013, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The Retirement communities are subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Retirement Communities believe they are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010."</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Covenant Retirement Communities, Inc. (CRC) has an Administrative Policy on conflict of interest, identifying the parameters of a conflict of interest and the requirement to disclose any such conflict of interest. Each January, the CRC policy is distributed to CRC board members and officers. They are asked to sign acknowledging receipt of the policy and to disclose if they have any conflict of interests. If someone is absent from the meeting or fails to return the acknowledgment, there is a follow-up with the individual until the signed acknowledgment is provided. In addition to the above, a separate and more comprehensive questionnaire is sent to the board members, officers, key employees and other interested persons. The completed questionnaires are reviewed by CRC's legal counsel to determine if any actual or potential conflicts exist. If a person becomes an interested person, he or she may be considered in determining whether a quorum is present. The interested person may make a short statement relating to the transaction or arrangement in question, but shall not be present during the discussion and shall not vote on the motion addressing the actual or potential conflict.</Explanation>
      </GeneralExplanation>
      <GeneralExplanation>
        <Explanation>Covenant Retirement Communities' (CRC) Board of Directors has duly appointed an Executive Compensation Committee (the "Committee"), which is responsible for the review and approval of all compensation and benefits provided to CRC's executive management. The Committee has adopted a written Executive Compensation Philosophy Statement and an Executive Compensation Committee Charter governing the work and review process of the Committee. The Committee follows the procedures described in the Philosophy Statement and the Charter when it reviews and approves the compensation and employee benefits provided to the CRC's senior management. The Committee's review analyzes every element of compensation, including current and deferred compensation, and benefits, including qualified and non-qualified benefits. The Committee conducts its review and approval process at least annually, and approves compensation and benefits only to the extent that the Committee has concluded that the compensation and benefits constitute no more than reasonable compensation for each executive. The Committee consists entirely of disinterested members of the Board, and the Committee works with an independent compensation consultant to prepare and review in advance comprehensive data showing the compensation provided by similarly situated organizations for functionally similar positions. The Committee also prepares a timely and thorough written record of its deliberations and conclusions. As a result, the Committee's review process is designed to satisfy the procedural criteria necessary to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under the federal income tax law intermediate sanctions rules. The resources utilized by the compensation Committee include: 1) independent compensation consultant; 2) written employment contract; 3) compensation survey or study; 4) approval by the board or compensation committee.</Explanation>
