        <Explanation>Executive Benefit Plan Covenant Ministries of Benevolence (CMB) provides certain supplemental retirement benefits to its officers and key employees. These benefits are provided through a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, under which a portion of the benefits being earned are subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture." The supplemental retirement benefits are structured to provide a retention incentive that has been determined by the Compensation Committee of CMB's Board to be of substantial value to the organization. The Committee approves all retirement benefits, together with all other forms of compensation and benefits for these and other executives, in a manner intended to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under the intermediate sanctions rules of federal income tax law. The following listed individuals participated in the Executive Benefit Plan: David Dwight - $78,250.81 Rick Fisk - $62,656.27 Elizabeth Buikema - $22,523.08 Steven P. Anderson - $19,775.86 John R. Harriff - $21,225.06 Terri Cunliffe - $18,594.60 David Erickson - $20,085.18 Kathleen Jenkins - $11,814.81 Moraine Byrne - $17,884.00 Thad D. Rothrock - $15,336.00 Dwayne D. Gabrielson - $15,860.88 Anne A. Arakaki-Lock - $15,660.24 Paul D. Peterson - $15,467.00 Pension Restoration Plan As certain individuals' pension benefits may be limited by tax code maximums on both eligible compensation and benefits, Covenant Ministries of Benevolence (CMB) provides a Pension Restoration Plan which entitles the individuals listed below to a pension benefit based on total cash compensation. David A. Dwight - $6,814 Rick K. Fisk - $25,517</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part I, Line 7: The following applies to certain individuals listed on Part VII whose compensation is paid from related organizations: The Executive Compensation Committee (the "Committee") follows a prescribed method for calculating bonuses. The calculation is based on measurable targets determined at the beginning of the year. The Committee has the ability to adjust the dollar value of the calculated awards by up to 10%. The adjustment can be an upward or downward adjustment based on various performance factors. Refer to additional information on the Committee included in Schedule O.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Part II, Column B (i): Base compensation for certain individuals may include payments from deferred compensation plans. Part II, Column B (ii): Bonus and incentive compensation - Certain key persons employed by CRC are eligible for incentive compensation as determined by the CRC Board Compensation Committee. Incentives paid in 2011 relate to the achievement of targets for the fiscal year ended 1/31/2011. Part II, Column B (iii): Other Reportable Compensation - During the 2010 calendar year, Covenant Ministries of Benevolence (CMB) discontinued its sponsorship of a particular deferred benefit program that included employer contributions to split dollar life insurance arrangements for certain employees, including some individuals whose compensation is disclosed on this Form 990 Part VII and in Schedule J. While the sponsorship and employer contributions to the split dollar life insurance arrangements were discontinued in 2010, federal tax law rules prevented CMB from transferring the insurance policies to the affected employees, and fully terminating these arrangements, for 12 months following the Board action to end its sponsorship and contributions. As a result, affected employees were taxed on the value of those split dollar life insurance policies in 2011, when the policies or the value of them was actually transferred to the employees. Although these benefits were earned over many years of employment, the full value of the benefits must be treated as taxable compensation in the year that the employee receives the policy or the benefit. In prior years, the premiums paid for the life insurance arrangements were reported in Part II Column B(iii) as non-taxable benefits in the years they were paid. The portions of reportable compensation that were due to this acceleration treatment are as follows: David Dwight - $283,443.23 Rick Fisk - $274,538.58 Elizabeth Buikema - $75,181.58 Steven P. Anderson - $67,348.01 John R. Harriff - $92,164.41 Terri Cunliffe - $119,770.13 David Erickson - $19,001.89 Kathleen Jenkins - $45,430.60 Thad D. Rothrock - $48,802.10 Dwayne D. Gabrielson - $53,537.28 Anne A. Arakaki-Lock - $59,593.11 Paul D. Peterson - $21,061.78 Part II, Column C: Deferred compensation includes and estimate of the contribution made to an employer sponsored defined benefit pension plan. Part II, Column D: Nontaxable benefits include health insurance premiums paid by the employer and employee.</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 conflicts of interest. 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>

        <ReturnReference>Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15b</ReturnReference>
        <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>
