Normalized results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, include

pre-tax adjustments for $3.0 million of income from adjustments of prior

period self-insurance reserves ($0.4 million of which were related to

discontinued operations). Normalized results for the quarter ended June 30,

2007, include pre-tax adjustments for $9.0 million of income from

adjustments of prior period self-insurance reserves ($3.0 million of which

were related to discontinued operations),

a $0.9 million charge related to integration costs associated with the

acquisition of Harborside Healthcare Corporation (“Harborside”) and a $0.6

million charge associated with the refinancing of debt agreements.

On a normalized basis, comparing the quarter ended June 30, 2008, to the

same period in 2007:


--  revenue increased $24.2 million, or 5.6 percent;

--  EBITDAR increased $7.0 million, or 13.0 percent;

--  EBITDAR margin improved 90 basis points to 13.4 percent;

--  EBITDA increased $9.1 million, or 27.6 percent;

--  EBITDA margin improved 160 basis points to 9.3 percent; and

--  income from continuing operations increased $3.4 million, or 44.2

    percent.

    

Commenting on the results, Richard K. Matros, chairman and chief executive

officer of Sun, stated, “We continue to generate strong operating results

and are achieving our goals regarding improving same store margins. Our

second quarter produced our highest margins to date, and our margin growth

continues to be one of the strongest in the industry. Our positive

operating results were somewhat tempered by the severe flood damage to our

center in Terre Haute, Indiana. I am very proud of how our employees

quickly responded to this natural disaster to ensure a safe evacuation of

all residents and employees from the center in a responsible and caring

manner.”

As a result of the flood damage, operating results for the Terre Haute

center have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods

presented, and a related $1.8 million pre-tax impairment charge was

recorded in the quarter. In addition, during the quarter a lease of a

Tennessee nursing center was not renewed. Operating results for this center

have also been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods

presented. The combined quarterly impact of the reclassification of both

the Terre Haute center and the Tennessee center on the previously reported

2007 second quarter was a $4.6 million decrease in revenue, a $0.8 million

decrease in EBITDAR and a $0.7 million decrease in EBITDA.

On July 1, 2008, Sun received $9.5 million in cash proceeds from the

sale of two stand-alone hospitals. The sale was recorded in the second

quarter and resulted in a pre-tax loss of $2.7 million to discontinued

operations.

Sun realized $3.2 million in synergies in the second quarter from the

integration of Harborside’s operations. To date, these synergies have

aggregated $14.1 million. Management expects to complete the 2008 year by

achieving synergies closer to its high-end estimate of $15.0 million.

Inpatient Business

For its core inpatient business, on a normalized basis comparing the

quarter ended June 30, 2008, to the same period in 2007:

Quarter ended June 30, 2008:


--  revenue increased $21.8 million, or 5.7 percent, to $402.9 million

    from $381.1 million;

--  net segment EBITDAR increased $5.9 million, or 9.1 percent, to $71.3

    million from $65.4 million;

--  net segment EBITDAR margin for 2008 was 17.7 percent compared to 17.2

    percent in 2007;

--  net segment EBITDA increased $8.1 million, or 18.1 percent, to $52.9

    million from $44.8 million;

--  net segment EBITDA margin for 2008 was 13.1 percent compared to 11.8

    percent in 2007;

--  net segment income increased $7.2 million, or 21.2 percent, to $40.9

    million from $33.7 million;

--  rehabilitation RUGS utilization increased 180 basis points to 84.2

    percent as a percent of total Medicare days; and

--  Rehabilitation Extensive Service (REX) days as a percent of total

    Medicare days increased 190 basis points to 39.3 percent.

    

The revenue gain of $21.8 million in the quarter was primarily

attributed to an:


--  $11.2 million increase in Medicare revenue due principally to Medicare

    part A rate growth of 8.2 percent, customer base growth, and part B volume

    growth;

--  $8.4 million increase in managed care/commercial insurance revenue due

    principally to an increased customer base;

--  $1.3 million increase in Medicaid revenue resulting from rate

    improvement of $7.5 million or 4.3 percent partially offset by a $6.2

    million impact from a decrease in customer base; and

--  $0.9 million increase in private revenue due principally to improved

    rates.

    

Matros also stated, “I am pleased with the shift in acuity we continue to

experience in our skilled nursing beds. Our skilled mix at quarter end was

20.5 percent, our highest to date. Skilled mix growth and Rehab Recovery

Suites™ continue to be our primary growth drivers. Compared with the

same quarter prior year, our overall dependency on Medicaid declined by 220

basis points to 44.8 percent, our lowest percentage of Medicaid revenues

reported to date.”

Ancillary Businesses

For its rehabilitation and staffing services ancillary businesses,

comparing the quarter ended June 30, 2008, to the same period in 2007:


--  revenue increased $6.2 million, or 10.2 percent, to $66.5 million from

    $60.3 million;

--  EBITDA increased $0.7 million, or 14.5 percent, to $5.3 million from

    $4.6 million; and

--  EBITDA margin for 2008 was 8.0 percent, up 30 basis points compared to

    a margin of 7.7 percent in 2007.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before income (loss) on discontinued

operations, income taxes, loss (gain) on sale of assets, net, interest,

net, depreciation and amortization.   EBITDAM is defined as EBITDA before

operating and general and administrative expenses.  EBITDAR is defined as

EBITDA before facility rent expense.  EBITDARM is defined as EBITDAR before

operating and general and administrative expenses.  EBITDA, EBITDAM,

EBITDAR and EBITDARM are used by management to evaluate financial

performance and resource allocation for each entity within the operating

units and for the Company as a whole.  EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and

EBITDARM are commonly used as analytical indicators within the healthcare

industry and also serve as measures of leverage capacity and debt service

ability. EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and EBITDARM should not be considered as

measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting

principles.  As the items excluded from EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and

EBITDARM are significant components in understanding and assessing

financial performance, EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and EBITDARM should not be

considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income (loss), cash flows

generated by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or

other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial

statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity.  Because

EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and EBITDARM are not measurements determined in

accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are thus

susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and EBITDARM

as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of

other companies.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before income (loss) on discontinued

operations, income taxes, loss (gain) on sale of assets, net, interest,

net, depreciation and amortization.   EBITDAM is defined as EBITDA before

operating and general and administrative expenses.  EBITDAR is defined as

EBITDA before facility rent expense.  EBITDARM is defined as EBITDAR before

operating and general and administrative expenses.  EBITDA, EBITDAM,

EBITDAR and EBITDARM are used by management to evaluate financial

performance and resource allocation for each entity within the operating

units and for the Company as a whole.  EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and

EBITDARM are commonly used as analytical indicators within the healthcare

industry and also serve as measures of leverage capacity and debt service

ability. EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and EBITDARM should not be considered as

measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting

principles.  As the items excluded from EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and

EBITDARM are significant components in understanding and assessing

financial performance, EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and EBITDARM should not be

considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income (loss), cash flows

generated by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or

other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial

statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity.  Because

EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and EBITDARM are not measurements determined in

accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are thus

susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and EBITDARM

as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of

other companies.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before income (loss) on discontinued

operations, income taxes, loss (gain) on sale of assets, net, interest,

net, depreciation and amortization.   EBITDAM is defined as EBITDA before

operating and general and administrative expenses.  EBITDAR is defined as

EBITDA before facility rent expense.  EBITDARM is defined as EBITDAR before

operating and general and administrative expenses.  EBITDA, EBITDAM,

EBITDAR and EBITDARM are used by management to evaluate financial

performance and resource allocation for each entity within the operating

units and for the Company as a whole.  EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and

EBITDARM are commonly used as analytical indicators within the healthcare

industry and also serve as measures of leverage capacity and debt service

ability. EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and EBITDARM should not be considered as

measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting

principles.  As the items excluded from EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and

EBITDARM are significant components in understanding and assessing

financial performance, EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and EBITDARM should not be

considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income (loss), cash flows

generated by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or

other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial

statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity.  Because

EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and EBITDARM are not measurements determined in

accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are thus

susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA, EBITDAM, EBITDAR and EBITDARM

as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of

other companies.
