For the third quarter of 2010, HCP recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $72 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, related to its investment in HCP Ventures II. In addition, HCP Ventures II concluded it should not recognize non-cash rents from Horizon Bay effective July 1, 2010.

HCP acquired the Properties as part of its October 2006 acquisition of CNL Retirement Properties, Inc.
