<strong>Titan</strong> <strong>Europe</strong> <strong>2007</strong>-1 (<strong>NHP</strong>) <strong>Limited</strong> Collateral and Structural Term Sheet 1 st May <strong>2007</strong><br />

Market Overview<br />

Industry Structure<br />

The care home market in the UK consists of residential and nursing homes, mainly providing long-term care for older people who are<br />

physically dependent and/or suffering from forms of dementia. There are two main types of care homes: (1) residential home<br />

conversions and (2) purpose-built care home facilities.<br />

The market is relatively mature and transparent and the industry consists of different categories of participants, including owneroperators,<br />

lessee-operators and owner-investors. Laing and Buisson estimated the size of the UK care home market (measured in<br />

terms of registered beds) to be approximately 468,000 in April 2006.<br />

The care home sector remains fragmented albeit with a trend towards consolidation. King Sturge LLP estimate that the top ten UK<br />

providers operated circa 22.0% of the total beds available as of November 2006 (Source: King Sturge LLP Valuation Report). Southern<br />

Cross is the largest provider, representing only 6% of market share.<br />

Supply of Care Home Beds<br />

Between 1989 and 1996, the total bed spaces for nursing, residential and long stay hospital care for the elderly, chronically ill and<br />

physically disabled increased from circa 465,000 to circa 571,300 beds (see below). Consequent oversupply and local authority fee<br />

adjustments below inflation reduced occupancy and profitability levels for operators. Therefore, the supply of care home beds in the UK<br />

has fallen gradually since the late-1990s.<br />

Bed Capacity (1988-2006)<br />

Source: Laing and Buisson UK Market Survey 2006<br />

From 1996 through 2006, the number of beds in the market has decreased from a peak of 571,300 beds in 1996 to 468,000 in April<br />

2006 (Source: Laing and Buisson). However, there are some indications of a changing trend in the care homes market and over a oneyear<br />

period, the closure rate for homes reduced from circa 711 homes (12,714 beds) as of April 2005 to approximately 323 homes<br />

(7,461 beds) as of April 2006.<br />

The decrease in capacity is more marked in the public sector than in the private sector. In the latter, the decline of bed capacity is more<br />

apparent in converted homes as a result of more stringent regulatory controls and requirements as well as the boom in the residential<br />

property market.<br />
