Other Highlights for the Second Quarter 2008

The Company completed the acquisition of the leasehold interests and operations of seven skilled nursing facilities in Texas (SMSA Acquisition) on August 10, 2007. Effective November 1, 2007, the Company entered into a lease for a skilled nursing facility in Texas. Financial and statistical data reported in this earnings release for these eight facilities ("New Texas Facilities") include the results of their operations from the date of acquisition in the case of the SMSA Acquisition, and beginning November 1, 2007 for the new leased facility.

Revenues increased to $70.8 million in 2008 from $55.4 million in 2007, an increase of $15.4 million, or 27.9%. Revenues related to the New Texas Facilities were $12.5 million in 2008. Same center patient revenues increased to $58.3 million in 2008 from $55.4 million in 2007, an increase of $2.9 million, or 5.2%. This increase is due primarily to Medicare rate increases, increased Medicaid rates in certain states and increased private pay and managed care rates and census, partially offset by the effects of lower Medicaid census.

The following table summarizes key revenue and census statistics for the quarterly reporting periods and segregates effects of the New Texas Facilities.

    Total continuing operations                     $138.05    $137.75

On a same center basis, the Company's average rate per day for Medicare Part A patients increased 9.3% in 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 as a result of annual inflation adjustments and the acuity levels of Medicare patients in our nursing centers, as indicated by RUG level scores, which were higher in 2008 than in 2007. Our average rate per day for Medicaid patients increased 4.4% in 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of increasing patient acuity levels and other rate increases in certain states.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, patient revenues of the New Texas facilities decreased by approximately $0.4 million, primarily due to a decrease in Medicare census. Medicare census as a percent of total at the New Texas facilities decreased from 13.3% in the first quarter of 2008 to 11.0% for the current quarter, while total occupancy remained unchanged at 64.9%.

Operating expense increased to $56.0 million in 2008 from $41.9 million in 2007, an increase of $14.1 million, or 33.6%. Operating expense related to the New Texas Facilities was $11.6 million in 2008. Same center operating expense increased to $44.4 million in 2008 from $41.9 million in 2007, an increase of $2.5 million, or 6.0%. This increase is primarily attributable to cost increases related to wages and benefits and an increase in workers' compensation insurance expense. On a same center basis, operating expense increased to 76.2% of revenue in 2008, compared to 75.7% of revenue in 2007.

The largest component of operating expenses is wages, which increased to $33.3 million in 2008 from $25.1 million in 2007, an increase of $8.2 million, or 32.5%. Wages related to the New Texas Facilities were approximately $7.1 million. Same center wages increased approximately $1.0 million, or 4.1%, primarily due to increases in wages as a result of competitive labor markets in most of the areas in which we operate, regular merit and inflationary raises for personnel (increase of approximately 4.6% for the period). Partially offsetting these increases were lower labor costs resulting from the decrease in census.

In addition to increased wages, workers' compensation insurance expense was approximately $0.4 million higher in 2008. The Company had better than expected claims experience in 2007. Operating costs were also impacted by higher food and utility expenses. Food costs were approximately $100,000 higher on a same center basis, an increase in expense per patient day of 8.2%. Utility costs were approximately $100,000 higher, or approximately 10.4%.

The remaining increases in operating expense are primarily due to the effects of increases in patient acuity levels as indicated by RUG level scores, which were higher in 2008, resulting in greater costs to care for these patients.

General and administrative expense increased to $4.6 million in 2008 from $4.2 million in 2007, an increase of $0.4 million or 10.7%. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expense decreased to 6.6% of revenue in 2008 compared to 7.6% of revenue in 2007. General and administrative expense related to the New Texas Facilities was $0.2 million in 2008. Same center general and administrative expense increased to $4.4 million in 2008 from $4.2 million in 2007, an increase of $0.2 million, or 5.9%. Compensation costs increased by approximately $0.3 million, including normal merit and inflationary increases and new positions added to improve operating and financial controls. Travel costs increased by approximately $0.1 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in incentive compensation expense of $0.2 million.

Professional liability resulted in an expense of $1.4 million in 2008, compared to a benefit of $3.4 million in 2007, an increase in expense of $4.8 million. The benefit in 2007 resulted from a reduction in the accrual for prior year claims.

Funds provided by operations in 2008 decreased to $2.7 million from $3.6 million in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to lower operating income and increased cash payments for professional liability costs. Cash payments for professional liability costs were approximately $0.7 million higher in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007. Funds provided by operations is a non-GAAP measurement and a reconciliation of this measurement to net income is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Revenue and Income Highlights for Six Months

Revenue increased to $142.3 million in 2008 from $110.0 million in 2007. Revenues related to New Texas facilities were $25.5 million in 2008.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $5.8 million for six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $9.2 million for the same period in 2007. The provision for income taxes was $2.0 million in 2008 compared to $3.6 million in 2007. The diluted income per common share from continuing operations was $0.61 and $0.89 for 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Facility Renovation Update

Eight facilities have been renovated since commencing the facility renovation program in the third quarter of 2005. There are three renovation projects in progress, with expected completion of two by the end of the third quarter 2008 and the third expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2009.

Second quarter occupancy for the eight facilities with renovations completed before the beginning of the quarter increased from 63.2% to 69.2%, and Medicare census increased from 13.1% to 13.8%, each as compared to the last twelve months prior to the commencement of renovation. No assurance can be given that these facilities will continue to show such occupancy or revenue mix improvement or that the other renovated facilities will experience similar improvements.

West Virginia Facility

As previously announced, the Company entered into an option agreement to purchase certain assets of a skilled nursing facility in West Virginia and made an application to state regulatory authorities to operate the facility and construct a new 90 bed replacement facility. The application was approved in February 2008, subject to rights of appeal by contesting parties. The time period to appeal has passed and no appeals were filed. The Company is working to arrange financing and begin construction of the replacement facility.

Amendment to Shareholders' Rights Plan

On August 1, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors approved amending its current Amended and Restated Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement"). The amendment will provide for an increase of the exercise price of the rights under the Rights Agreement (the "Rights") to $50 from $15 and for the extension of the Expiration Date of the Rights to August 2, 2018. In addition, the amendment will include a share exchange feature that provides the Company's Board of Directors the option of exchanging, in whole or in part, each Right, other than those of the hostile acquiring holder, for one share of the Company's common stock. This provision is intended to avoid requiring Rights holders to pay cash to exercise their Rights and to alleviate the uncertainty as to whether holders will exercise their Rights.

CEO Remarks

William R. Council, III, commented, "While we are pleased with the continued increase in our overall patient acuity mix, our second quarter performance was adversely affected by a decline in Medicare census in the New Texas facilities. We believe census at these facilities was affected by turnover in various facility leadership and marketing positions, and costs were excessive considering the lower occupancy levels and Medicare utilization. We have implemented specific action plans to improve census and Medicare utilization, and we expect to see census and cost improvements at these facilities.

"We also saw a decline in total census on a same center basis with same center occupancy at 77.7% compared to 78.6%, as we focus on attracting short stay Medicare patients. On a same center basis, Medicare census was up to 14.6% of total census, from 14.3% a year ago.

"The renovation program continues on schedule with excellent results. We expect to complete two more renovation projects by the third quarter of 2008 a third in early 2009, and have plans underway for additional projects."

 Advocat provides financial measures using accounting principles
 generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using adjustments
 to GAAP (non-GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are not measurements under
 GAAP. These measurements should be considered in addition to, but not
 as a substitute for, the information contained in our financial
 statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Funds Provided by
 Operations is defined as cash flow from operating activities before
 changes in other assets and liabilities affecting operating
 activities. Management believes that Funds Provided by Operations is
 an important measurement of the Company's performance because it
 eliminates the effect of actuarial assumptions on our professional
 liability reserves, includes the cash effect of professional liability
 payments, and does not include the effects of deferred tax benefit and
 other non-cash charges. Since the definition of Funds Provided by
 Operations may vary among companies and industries, it should not be
 used as a measure of performance among companies.

 Note 1: The number of "Licensed beds" is based on the licensed
         capacity of the facility. The Company has historically
         reported its occupancy based on licensed beds. The number of
         "Available Beds" represents "licensed beds" less beds removed
         from service. "Available beds" is subject to change based
         upon the needs of the facilities, including configuration of
         patient rooms and offices, status of beds (private,
         semi-private, ward, etc.) and renovations. Occupancy is
         measured on a weighted average basis.
 Note 2: Total revenue for regions excludes approximately $0.3 million
         of ancillary services and other revenue for the three month
         period ended June 30, 2008.
 Note 3: These Medicare and Medicaid revenue rates include room and
         board revenues but do not include any ancillary revenues
         related to these patients.
 Note 4: The Kentucky region includes nursing centers in Kentucky,
         West Virginia and Ohio.
