NOTE 1. |
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Description of Business
Regional Health Properties, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Regional Health” or “Regional”) and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “we”), is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living. The Company’s business primarily consists of leasing and subleasing healthcare facilities, referred to as skilled nursing facilities (“SNF”) and assisted living facilities (“ALF”), to third-party tenants, which in turn operate the facilities. third-party tenants, which in turn operate the facilities. The operators of the Company’s facilities provide a range of healthcare services to their patients and residents, including skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services, and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term and short-stay patients and residents.
Regional Health is successor to, and a former wholly owned subsidiary of, AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (AdCare). On September 29, 2017, AdCare merged (the “Merger”) with and into Regional Health, which was formed as a subsidiary of AdCare for the purpose of the Merger, with Regional Health continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger.
Portfolio Stabilization Measures
While the Company is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living, the Company, when business conditions require, may undertake portfolio stabilization measures, such as operating a previously leased facility as demonstrated by the following transactions undertaken by the Company since December 31, 2021.
In May 2022, Lumber City Operations, LLC a subsidiary of the Company (“Lumber City Operations”), entered into an Operations Transfer and Surrender Agreement with LC SNF, LLC (“LC SNF”). Effective
Also in May 2022, LaGrange Operations, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company (“LaGrange Operations”) the Company entered into an Operations Transfer and Surrender Agreement with C.R. of LaGrange, LLC. Effective
In April 2022, Meadowood Operations, LLC a subsidiary of the Company (“Meadowood Operations”) became the state- licensed operator of the Meadowood facility. Meadowood Operations also entered into a Management Agreement with Cavalier Senior Living Operations, LLC (Cavalier), which engages Cavalier to provide for the overall management and day-to-day operation of the Facility.
8
Under the Management Agreement, Meadowood Operations will pay Cavalier: (i) a management fee of $
These portfolio stabilization measures, and others that the Company has undertaken, exposes the Company directly to all the risks our tenants face as discussed in this “Risk and Uncertainties” section and “Risks Related to Our Business and Industry - Our portfolio stabilization measures expose the Company to the various risks facing our tenants in Part I, Item 1.A, Risk Factors in the Annual Report.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the respiratory illness caused by a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19, a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has led governments and other authorities in the United States to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines, and shelter-in-place orders. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to protect its spread have adversely affected our business during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and we expect it will continue to adversely affect our business in the near future and beyond, for a variety of reasons, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
As of May 26, 2022, the Company is aware that each of our facilities has previously reported one or more positive cases of COVID-19 among the residents and/or operator employee populations. Many of our operators have reported incurring significant cost increases as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with dramatic increases for facilities with positive cases. We believe these increases primarily stem from elevated labor costs, including increased use of overtime and bonus pay, as well as a significant increase in both the cost and usage of personal protective equipment, testing equipment, processes and supplies. In terms of occupancy levels, many of our operators have reported experiencing declines, in part due to the elimination or suspension of elective hospital procedures, fewer discharges from hospitals to SNFs, and higher hospital re-admittances from SNFs.
The COVID-19 pandemic may also lead to temporary closures of nursing facilities, operated by our tenants, which also may affect our tenants’ ability to make their rental payments to us pursuant to their respective lease agreements. In addition, our tenants’ operations could be further disrupted if any of their employees, or the employees of their vendors, have, or are suspected of having, COVID-19. This could cause, and in some cases has already caused, our tenants or their vendors to experience staffing shortages, and this could potentially require our tenants and their vendors to close parts of or entire facilities, distribution centers, or other buildings to disinfect any affected areas.
We could also be adversely affected if government authorities impose upon our tenants, or their vendors, certain restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These restrictions may be in the form of mandatory closures, requested voluntary closures, bans on new admissions, restricted operations, or restrictions on the importation of necessary equipment or supplies which may adversely affect our tenants’ operations and their ability to make rental payments to us moving forward. In addition, family members may elect to keep nursing facility residents at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus reducing our tenants’ revenue. Currently, a number of our tenants have stopped admitting new patients due to rising COVID-19 infections which has resulted in decreased revenues.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our tenants may face lawsuits for alleged negligence associated with their responses to the emergency. The costs associated with defending, settling, or paying damages from such claims could negatively impact our tenants’ operating budgets and affect their ability to meet their obligations under our leases. Further, we may be subject to increased lawsuits arising out of our alleged actions or the alleged actions of our tenants for which they have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. An unfavorable resolution of any such pending or future litigation could materially adversely affect us. The Company is not aware of any such lawsuits against our tenants.
If our tenants are unable to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease obligations, whether due to the tenants’ decrease in revenues or otherwise, then, in some cases, we may be forced to either attempt to replace the tenants or restructure the tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place.

While the Company has received approximately
On November 5, 2021, the CMS published COVID-19 Health Care Staff Vaccination requirements that most Medicare- and Medicaid-certified providers and suppliers must meet in order to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. This emergency regulation was effective immediately and requires employees at Medicare and Medicaid-participating facilities and employers with more than
To help offset these costs as well as occupancy declines, various relief programs have been enacted by federal and state governments, which have provided, and we expect will continue to provide, some payments to our tenants, subject to the programs’ respective terms and conditions. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) established a grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) under which grants have been made available to eligible healthcare providers for healthcare related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19 (the “Provider Relief Funds”). In early November 2021, the HHS closed the application portal for its Phase 4 allocation of approximately $
To the extent government support is not sufficient or timely to offset these impacts, or to the extent these trends continue or accelerate and are not offset by additional government relief that is sufficient or timely, the operating results of our operators are likely to be adversely affected, and some may be unwilling or unable to pay their contractual obligations to us in full or on a timely basis, as has occurred with one of our prior operators.
We also do not know the number of facilities that will ultimately experience widespread, high-cost outbreaks of COVID-19. While we have requested reporting case numbers from our operators and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) has required additional reporting by operators, we may not receive accurate information on the number of cases, which could result in a delay in reporting. We expect to see continued increased clinical protocols for infection control within facilities and increased monitoring of employees, guests and other individuals entering facilities; however, we do not yet know if future reimbursement rates in combination with the various relief programs that have been made available will be sufficient to cover the increased costs of enhanced infection control and monitoring. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our and our operators’ operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the ultimate duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, which may depend on factors such as the development and implementation of an effective vaccine and treatments for COVID-19, government funds and other support for the senior care sector and the efficacy of other policies and measures that may mitigate the impact of the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to these uncertainties, we are unable at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on our business, but the adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the 2021 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the 2021 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
10
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the amounts in prior periods in order to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company has a loan receivable with Peach Health a Sublessee. Such agreement creates a variable interest in Peach Health Sublessee that may absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity. The Company does not consolidate the operating activities of the Peach Health Sublessee as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance.
Revenue Recognition and Allowances
Patient Care Revenue. ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers requires a company to recognize revenue when the company transfers control of promised goods and services to a customer. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to receive in exchange for such goods and services. Revenue from our Healthcare Services business segment is derived from services rendered to patients in the Tara Facility. The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered in our facilities: (i) the federal government under the Medicare program administered by CMS; (ii) state governments under their respective Medicaid and similar programs; (iii) commercial insurers; and (iv) individual patients and clients. The vast majority of the revenue the Company has recognized is from government sources. The Company determines the transaction price based on established billing rates reduced by contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts provided to uninsured patients and other price concessions. Contractual adjustments and discounts are based on contractual agreements, discount policies and historical experience. The Company recognizes revenue at the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the services provided. These amounts are due from residents or third-party payors and include variable consideration for retroactive adjustments from estimated reimbursements, if any, under reimbursement programs. Performance obligations are determined based on the nature of the services provided. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. Estimated uncollectable amounts due from patients are generally considered implicit price concessions that are a direct reduction to net operating revenues.
Triple-Net Leased Properties. The Company’s triple-net leases provide for periodic and determinable increases in rent. The Company recognizes rental revenues under these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term when collectability is probable. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis generally results in recognized revenues during the first half of a lease term exceeding the cash amounts contractually due from our tenants, creating a straight-line rent receivable that is included in straight-line rent receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. In the event the Company cannot reasonably estimate the future collection of rent from one or more tenant(s) of the Company’s facilities, rental income for the affected facilities is recognized only upon cash collection, and any accumulated straight-line rent receivable is expensed in the period in which the Company deems rent collection to no longer be probable.
Management Fee Revenues and Other Revenues. The Company recognizes management fee revenues as services are provided. The Company has one contract to manage three facilities (the “Management Contract”), with payment for each month of service generally received in full on a monthly basis. The maximum penalty for service contract nonperformance under the Management Contract is $
Allowances. The Company assesses the collectability of its rent receivables, including straight-line rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants. The Company bases its assessment of the collectability of rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants on several factors, including payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. If the Company’s evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that the Company will be unable to receive the rent payments or payments on a working capital loan, then the Company provides a reserve against the recognized straight-line rent receivable asset or working capital loan for the portion that we estimate may not be recovered. Payments received on impaired loans are applied against the allowance. If the Company changes its assumptions or estimates regarding the collectability of future rent payments, then the Company may adjust its reserve to the rental or interest revenue recognized in the period the Company makes such change. See Note 6 – Leases. The Company has reserved for approximately

The Company has retained professional services to evaluate and assist with possible opportunities to improve the Company’s capital structure.
Leases and Leasehold Improvements
The Company leases certain facilities and equipment in the normal course of business. At the inception of each lease, the Company performs an evaluation to determine whether the lease should be classified as an operating lease or capital lease. As of March 31, 2022, all of the Company’s leased facilities are accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases that contain scheduled rent increases, the Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2016-02, Leases, as codified in ASC 842, the Company recognizes both right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases in which we lease land, real property, or other equipment, having elected the practical expedient to maintain the prior operating lease classification for leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019. We assess any new contracts or modification of contracts in accordance with ASC 842 to determine the existence of a lease and its classification.
12
We report revenues and expenses for real estate taxes and insurance where the lessee has not made those payments directly to a third-party in accordance with their respective leases with us. Additionally, we expense certain leasing costs, other than leasing commissions, as they are incurred. The present value of minimum lease payments was calculated on each lease, using a discount rate of
Insurance
We maintain general liability, professional liability, and other insurance policies in amounts and with coverage and deductibles we believe are appropriate, based on the nature and risks of our business, historical experience, availability, and industry standards, including for the operations at the Tara, Lumber City, LaGrange and Meadowood facilities. Our current policies provide for deductibles for each claim and contain various exclusions from coverage. The Company has self-insured against professional and general liability claims related to its healthcare operations that were discontinued during 2014 and 2015 in connection with its transition from an owner and operator of healthcare properties to a healthcare property holding and leasing company (the “Transition”). For further information, see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies, and Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies, in the Annual Report for more information. The Company evaluates quarterly the adequacy of its self-insurance reserve based on a number of factors, including: (i) the number of actions pending and the relief sought; (ii) analyses provided by defense counsel, medical experts or other information which comes to light during discovery; (iii) the legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in defending the actions; (iv) the status and likely success of any mediation or settlement discussions, including estimated settlement amounts and legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in such settlement, as applicable; and (v) the venues in which the actions have been filed or will be adjudicated. The Company believes that most of the professional and general liability actions are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment unless settlement is more advantageous to the Company. Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve reflects the Company’s estimate of settlement amounts for the pending actions, if applicable, and legal costs of settling or litigating the pending actions, as applicable. Because the self-insurance reserve is based on estimates, the amount of the self-insurance reserve may not be sufficient to cover the settlement amounts actually incurred in settling the pending actions, or the legal costs actually incurred in settling or litigating the pending actions. See Note 7 – Accrued Expenses. In addition, the Company maintains certain other insurance programs, including commercial general liability, property, casualty, directors’ and officers’ liability, crime, and employment practices liability.
Discontinued Operations
Prior to December 2015, the Company’s business focused primarily on owning and operating SNFs and managing such facilities for unaffiliated owners with whom the Company has management contracts. These operations were discontinued and transitioned to the current leasing model of business.
The Company’s major classes of discontinued operation’s assets and liabilities included within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively are: (i) Accounts payable of $
Net expenses for discontinued operations are included in Other expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations. These net expenses were approximately $
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the net income or loss is adjusted by the impact of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding including potentially dilutive securities (such as options, warrants and non-vested common stock) when such securities are not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities from options, warrants and unvested restricted shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options and warrants with exercise prices exceeding the average market value are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The incremental shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represent the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.
13
Securities outstanding that were excluded from the computation, because they would have been anti-dilutive were as follows:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The amendment clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2022 and it did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY |
Overview
The Company intends to pursue measures to grow its operations, streamline its cost infrastructure and otherwise increase liquidity, including: (i) refinancing or repaying debt to reduce interest costs and mandatory principal repayments, with such repayment to be funded through potentially expanding borrowing arrangements with certain lenders; (ii) increasing future lease revenue through acquisitions and investments in existing properties; (iii) modifying the terms of existing leases; (iv) replacing certain tenants who default on their lease payment terms; and (v) reducing other and general and administrative expenses.

For further information, see Note 8 – Notes Payable and Other Debt.

Evaluation of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Under the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, the Company is required to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, whether or not the Company’s current financial condition, including its sources of liquidity at the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued, will enable the Company to meet its obligations as they come due arising within one year of the date of the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and to make a determination as to whether or not it is probable, under the application of this accounting guidance, that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
In applying applicable accounting guidance, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows, the Company’s obligations due over the next twelve months, and the Company’s recurring business operating expenses.
The Company concludes that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Regulatory Matters
Laws and regulations governing federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future governmental review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from certain governmental programs. As of March 31, 2021, all of the Company’s facilities operated by Regional or leased and subleased to third-party operators and managed for third-parties are certified by CMS and are operational. See Note 6 - Leases.
Legal Matters
The Company is a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings and is subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that the services the Company provided during the time it operated SNFs resulted in injury or death to the patients of the Company’s facilities and claims related to professional and general negligence, employment, staffing requirements and commercial matters. Although the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters, there is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
27
The Company previously operated, and the Company and its tenants now operate, in an industry that is highly regulated. As such, in the ordinary course of business, the Company and its tenants are continuously subject to state and federal regulatory scrutiny, supervision and control. Such regulatory scrutiny often includes inquiries, investigations, examinations, audits, site visits and surveys, some of which are non-routine. In addition, the Company believes that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental investigations of long-term care providers, particularly in the area of Medicare and Medicaid false claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations. Adverse determinations in legal proceedings or governmental investigations against or involving the Company or its tenants, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks and Uncertainties
The portfolio stabilization measure discussed above expose the Company directly to all the risks our tenants face as discussed in this “Risk and Uncertainties” section and “Risks Related to Our Business and Industry - Our portfolio stabilization measures expose the Company to the various risks facing our tenants in Part I, Item 1.A, Risk Factors in the Annual Report.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the respiratory illness caused by a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19, a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has led governments and other authorities in the United States to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines, and shelter-in-place orders. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to protect its spread have adversely affected our business during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and we expect it will continue to adversely affect our business in the near future and beyond, for a variety of reasons, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
As of May 16, 2022, the Company is aware that each of our facilities has previously reported one or more positive cases of COVID-19 among the residents and/or operator employee populations. Many of our operators have reported incurring significant cost increases as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with dramatic increases for facilities with positive cases. We believe these increases primarily stem from elevated labor costs, including increased use of overtime and bonus pay, as well as a significant increase in both the cost and usage of personal protective equipment, testing equipment, processes and supplies. In terms of occupancy levels, many of our operators have reported experiencing declines, in part due to the elimination or suspension of elective hospital procedures, fewer discharges from hospitals to SNFs, and higher hospital re-admittances from SNFs.
The COVID-19 pandemic may also lead to temporary closures of nursing facilities, operated by our tenants, which also may affect our tenants’ ability to make their rental payments to us pursuant to their respective lease agreements. In addition, our tenants’ operations could be further disrupted if any of their employees, or the employees of their vendors, have, or are suspected of having, COVID-19. This could cause, and in some cases has already caused, our tenants or their vendors to experience staffing shortages, and this could potentially require our tenants and their vendors to close parts of or entire facilities, distribution centers, or other buildings to disinfect any affected areas.
33
We could also be adversely affected if government authorities impose upon our tenants, or their vendors, certain restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These restrictions may be in the form of mandatory closures, requested voluntary closures, bans on new admissions, restricted operations, or restrictions on the importation of necessary equipment or supplies which may adversely affect our tenants’ operations and their ability to make rental payments to us moving forward. In addition, family members may elect to keep nursing facility residents at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus reducing our tenants’ revenue. Currently, a number of our tenants have stopped admitting new patients due to rising COVID-19 infections which has resulted in decreased revenues.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our tenants may face lawsuits for alleged negligence associated with their responses to the emergency. The costs associated with defending, settling, or paying damages from such claims could negatively impact our tenants’ operating budgets and affect their ability to meet their obligations under our leases. Further, we may be subject to increased lawsuits arising out of our alleged actions or the alleged actions of our tenants for which they have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. An unfavorable resolution of any such pending or future litigation could materially adversely affect us. The Company is not aware of any such lawsuits against our tenants.
If our tenants are unable to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease obligations, whether due to the tenants’ decrease in revenues or otherwise, then, in some cases, we may be forced to either attempt to replace the tenants or restructure the tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place.
While the Company has received approximately 64% of its anticipated fixed monthly rental receipts from tenants for the three months ended March 31, 2022, there are a number of uncertainties the Company faces as it considers the potential impact of COVID-19 on its business, including the length of census disruption, elevated COVID-19 operating costs related to personal protection equipment, cleaning supplies, virus testing and increased overtime due to staff illness.
On November 5, 2021, the CMS published COVID-19 Health Care Staff Vaccination requirements that most Medicare- and Medicaid-certified providers and suppliers must meet in order to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. This emergency regulation was effective immediately and requires employees at Medicare and Medicaid-participating facilities and employers with more than 100 employees to be vaccinated. Some states have also issued their own orders to employers and healthcare providers that may or may not align with federal directives. The legality of both federal and state vaccine mandates will likely be decided by the courts. Until pending laws and regulations related to vaccine mandates are both finalized and adjudicated, our tenants will continue to manage in different ways, from mandating vaccines for all employees to waiting to see how the issue is ultimately resolved. The mandates, as presently written, may cause disruption to tenants’ operations if employees refuse vaccination and are terminated, and our tenants are not able to replace them in a timely manner or experience increased costs to do so.
To help offset these costs as well as occupancy declines, various relief programs have been enacted by federal and state governments, which have provided, and we expect will continue to provide, some payments to our tenants, subject to the programs’ respective terms and conditions. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) established a grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) under which grants have been made available to eligible healthcare providers for healthcare related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19 (the “Provider Relief Funds”). In early November 2021, the HHS closed the application portal for its Phase 4 allocation of approximately $17 billion of Provider Relief Funds and an allocation of approximately $8.5 billion in American Rescue Plan resources for providers serving patients living in rural areas. We expect that our tenants pursued additional funding from these allocations and will pursue any future funding that may become available, though there can be no assurance that our tenants will qualify for, or receive, any Phase 4 or American Rescue Plan, or any future, funding.
To the extent government support is not sufficient or timely to offset these impacts, or to the extent these trends continue or accelerate and are not offset by additional government relief that is sufficient or timely, the operating results of our operators are likely to be adversely affected, and some may be unwilling or unable to pay their contractual obligations to us in full or on a timely basis, as has occurred with one of our prior operators.
We also do not know the number of facilities that will ultimately experience widespread, high-cost outbreaks of COVID-19. While we have requested reporting case numbers from our operators and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) has required additional reporting by operators, we may not receive accurate information on the number of cases, which could result in a delay in reporting. We expect to see continued increased clinical protocols for infection control within facilities and increased monitoring of employees, guests and other individuals entering facilities; however, we do not yet know if future reimbursement rates in combination with the various relief programs that have been made available will be sufficient to cover the increased costs of enhanced infection control and monitoring. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our and our operators’ operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the ultimate duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, which may depend on factors such
34
as the development and implementation of an effective vaccine and treatments for COVID-19, government funds and other support for the senior care sector and the efficacy of other policies and measures that may mitigate the impact of the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to these uncertainties, we are unable at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on our business, but the adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material.

Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we review our judgments and estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to doubtful accounts, income taxes, stock compensation, intangible assets and loss contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience, business knowledge and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time. Actual results may vary from our estimates. These estimates are evaluated by management and revised as circumstances change.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
Patient care revenues—Patient care revenues for our new Healthcare Services segment, as a result of the Company operating the Tara Facility, were $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $2.7 million in for the same period in 2021. The 14.1% decrease is primarily due to lower occupancy in the current year.
Rental revenues—Rental revenue for our Real Estate Services segment was relatively unchanged at a decrease of approximately $0.01 million to $4.07 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with $4.08 million for the same period in 2021.
Other revenues—Other revenues for our Real Estate Services segment decreased by approximately $0.055 million to $0.062 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The cause of the decrease is due to an operator - Symmetry, paying rent in arrears as part of a past due settlement in 2022. Therefore, no revenue was recognized for the 2022 period due to their current payment status.
Patient care expense—Patient care expense was $2.34 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with $2.20 million for the same period in 2021. The current period expense increase of $0.14 million was due primarily to increased utilization of agency staffing, a component of the cost of the Company’s new operation of the Tara Facility for our new Healthcare Services reporting segment.
Facility rent expense—Facility rent of $1.64 million remained approximately the same for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 since rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis.
37
Depreciation and amortization—Depreciation and amortization was $0.61 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $0.65 million for the same period in 2021. A greater amount of fully depreciated equipment and computer related assets in the current year was the primary driver of the decrease.

General and administrative expenses— General and administrative expenses increased by 8.4% to $1.12 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with $1.04 million for the same period in 2021. This increase is primarily due to the recognition of stock-based compensation in 2022.
Doubtful accounts expense— The current period expense is due to a $1.8 million provision for doubtful accounts recorded for non-payment of rent attributable to the conversion of tenant operator to owner operator facilities and the impairment of straight-line rent associated with the lease terminations.

Other operating expenses — Other operating expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million, to $0.329 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with $0.232 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was due to professional and legal services related to business transition transactions.
Other expense, net— Other expense, net increased by approximately $0.53 million, to $1.0 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These expenses are related to professional and legal services incurred for evaluation and assistance with possible opportunities that improve the Company’s capital structure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The Company intends to pursue measures to grow its operations, streamline its cost infrastructure and otherwise increase liquidity, including: (i) refinancing or repaying debt to reduce interest costs and mandatory principal repayments, with such repayment to be funded through potentially expanding borrowing arrangements with certain lenders; (ii) increasing future lease revenue through acquisitions and investments in existing properties; (iii) modifying the terms of existing leases; (iv) replacing certain tenants who default on their lease payment terms; and (v) reducing other and general and administrative expenses.
Management anticipates access to several sources of liquidity, including cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and debt refinancing during the twelve months following the date of this filing. At March 31, 2022, the Company had $4.5 million in unrestricted cash, including a Medicaid overpayment of $1.5 million received on September 30, 2021, which the Company expects to repay in the near future.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s cash flow from operations was negative $1.6 million primarily due to unpaid rent payments. Management anticipates collecting a portion of the past due rent after the filing date and is currently negotiating various methods to collect the remaining unpaid rent. Cash flow from operations in the future, will be subject operating performance of the new management agreements with Peach Health as well as continued uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
38
As of March 31, 2022, Regional recorded an estimated allowance of $0.8 million against a rent receivable of $2.3 million. Additionally, the Company recorded $0.1 million in debt recovery due to collections exceeding our December 31, 2021 estimated allowance.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $0.5 million of variable rent for the Powder Springs Facility and, as of the date of filing this Quarterly Report, has collected all of such variable rent replacing approximately $0.5 million of cash rent previously anticipated from the Wellington Tenant. The Tara Facility operations performance during the three ended March 31, 2022 has been insufficient to cover any of the rent the Company is obligated to pay under its lease.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $52.9 million in indebtedness, net of $1.3 million deferred financing, and unamortized discounts. The Company anticipates net principal repayments of approximately $2.3 million during the next twelve-month period, approximately $1.7 million of routine debt service amortization, $0.5 million of current maturities of other debt (including $0.1 million related to insurance financing for the Tara Facility operations), and a $0.1 million payment of bond debt.
In September 2021, the Company and the Exchange Bank of Alabama executed a $5.1 million Promissory Note with a 3.95% annual fixed interest rate and maturity date of October 10, 2026. The Coosa Credit Facility refinanced $5.1 million prime + 1.5% variable interest rate debt owed to Metro City Bank with a maturity date of January 31, 2036. The Coosa Credit Facility is secured by the assets of Coosa, which includes the Coosa Facility and the assets of Meadowood which includes the Meadowood Facility. The Company incurred approximately $0.1 million in new deferred financing fees and expensed approximately $0.1 million deferred financing fees associated with the Coosa MCB Loan.
Debt Modification
In conjunction with the September 30, 2021 Coosa Facility refinance, the Company and the Exchange Bank of Alabama executed the Meadowood Credit Facility that extended the maturity date on $3.5 million Meadowood Credit Facility, as amended, in current senior debt secured by the assets of Coosa and the assets of Meadowood, other mortgage indebtedness from May 1, 2022 to October 1, 2026. Additionally on August 17, 2021, the Company extended the maturity date on approximately $0.5 million other debt from August 25, 2021 to August 25, 2023 (known as the “KeyBank Exit Notes”). For further information, see Note 8 – Notes Payable and Other Debt.
The Company is current with all of its Notes payable and other debt as described in Note 8 – Notes Payable and Other Debt. The Company has benefited from various, now expired, stimulus measures made available to it through the CARES Act enacted by Congress in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which allowed for, among other things: (i) a deferral of debt service payments on USDA loans to maturity, (ii) an allowance for debt service payments to be made out of replacement reserve accounts for HUD loans, and (iii) debt service payments to be made by the SBA on all SBA loans.
In early 2020, the Company began on-going efforts to investigate alternatives to retire or refinance our outstanding debt of Series A Preferred Stock through privately negotiated transactions, open market repurchases, redemptions, exchange offers, tender offers, or otherwise. Costs associated with these efforts have been expensed as incurred in Other expense, net and were $0.9 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
In February 2022, the Company commenced an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) any and all of its outstanding 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares for newly issued shares of the Company’s 12.5% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The Exchange Offer will expire on May 31, 2022, as extended, unless re-extended or earlier terminated by the Company. The Exchange Offer is the culmination of on-going efforts to investigate alternatives to retire or refinance our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock through privately negotiated transactions, open market repurchases, redemptions, exchange offers, tender offers, or otherwise.
Series A Preferred Dividend Suspension
On June 8, 2018, the Board indefinitely suspended quarterly dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2022, as a result of the suspension of the dividend payment on the Series A Preferred Stock commencing with the fourth quarter 2017 dividend period, the Company has $39.1 million of undeclared preferred stock dividends in arrears. The Board believes that the dividend suspension will provide the Company with additional funds to meet, in part, its ongoing liquidity needs. As the Company has failed to pay cash dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in full for more than four dividend periods, the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock for the fifth and future missed dividend periods has increased to 12.875%, which is equivalent to $3.20 per share each year, commencing on the first day after the missed fourth quarterly payment (October 1, 2018) and continuing until the second consecutive dividend payment date following such time as the Company has paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in full in cash.
39
Debt Covenant Compliance
As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the various financial and administrative covenants under the Company’s outstanding credit related instruments.
Evaluation of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Under the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, the Company is required to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, whether or not the Company’s current financial condition, including its sources of liquidity at the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued, will enable the Company to meet its obligations as they come due arising within one year of the date of the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and to make a determination as to whether or not it is probable, under the application of this accounting guidance, that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. In applying applicable accounting guidance, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows, the Company’s obligations due over the next twelve months, and the Company’s recurring business operating expenses.
The Company concludes that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance.
For additional information regarding the Company’s liquidity, see Note 2 – Liquidity and Note 8 – Notes Payable and other debt.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Net cash used by operating activities — was approximately $1.6 million. The negative cash flow from operating activities was primarily caused by nonpayment of rent from C-Ross and Symmetry as well as the impairment of straight-line associated with the lease terminations.. The use of cash resulted from nonpayment of rent collected of $1.3 million, $1.1 million from an impairment of straight-line rent offset by $.9 million increase in accounts payables.
Net cash used in investing activities — was approximately $0.08 million. This capital expenditure was for computer hardware, software and furniture and fixtures for the Tara Facility.
Net cash used in financing activities—was approximately $0.7 million. The cash was used to make routine payments totaling $0.4 million for our Senior debt obligations, $0.2 million for Other debt, and approximately $.1 million for the payment of taxes due on the exercise of employee restricted share awards (net settlement option).
Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities—was approximately $2.4 million, primarily due to changes in working capital, consisting of our collection of rent arrears from the Wellington Lease Termination and income from operations less noncash charges (primarily, depreciation and amortization and lease revenue in excess of cash rent received). The cash provided primarily reflects the collection of $3.1 from the Wellington Lease Termination, off-set by payment of $1.0 bed tax arrears for the Powder Springs Facility.
40
Net cash used in investing activities— for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $0.03 million. This capital expenditure was for computer hardware, software and furniture and fixtures for the Tara Facility.
Net cash used in financing activities—approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This is the result of routine repayments of approximately $0.3 million towards our senior debt obligations and $0.3 million toward our current insurance funding of other debt for the Tara Facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Guarantee
The Company subleased five facilities located in Ohio to the Aspire Sublessees, formerly affiliated with MSTC Development Inc., pursuant to the Aspire Subleases, whereby the Aspire Sublessees took possession of, and commenced operating, the Aspire Facilities as subtenant. The Company agreed to indemnify Aspire against any and all liabilities imposed on them as arising from the former operator, capped at $8.0 million. The Company has assessed the fair value of the indemnity agreements as not material to the financial statements at March 31, 2022. For further information see Note 6 – Leases, and also and Note 6 – Leases included in the Annual Report.
Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
Disclosure in response to Item 3. of Form 10-Q is not required to be provided by smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, our management have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.
Our management believes a material weakness exists in our internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022 because we lack the necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting processing and accounting functions as a result of recent departures of certain accounting and financial reporting personnel. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our management will seek to remediate the material weakness described above through hiring qualified accounting and financial reporting personnel to replace the personnel who departed. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings. |
The Company is a defendant in various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that the services the Company provided during the time it operated skilled nursing facilities resulted in injury or death to patients. Although the Company settles cases from time to time when settlement can be achieved on a reasonable basis, the Company vigorously defends any matter in which it believes the claims lack merit and the Company has a reasonable chance to prevail at trial or in arbitration. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. There is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. Although arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business, certain of these matters are described in “Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies.
The Company believes that most of the professional and general liability actions are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment unless settlement is more advantageous to the Company. See “Risks Related to Our Business - If we are unable to resolve our professional and general liability claims on terms acceptable to us, then it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation” in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in the Annual Report.
On February 8, 2022, a negligence action was filed in the State of South Carolina, County of Sumter, in the Court of Common Pleas for the Third Judicial Circuit, by Ronald and Sarah Ross against affiliates of Symmetry Healthcare, and the Company, on behalf of, and alleging the wrongful sexual assault of a patient at the facility known as Blue Ridge of Sumter, Regional’s facility located in Sumter, South Carolina, which is operated by an affiliate of Symmetry Healthcare. The plaintiff is seeking an unspecified amount actual damages, consequential damages, and punitive damages to be decided by Jury trial. The Company is indemnified by affiliates of Symmetry Healthcare in this action. The Company believes that this action lacks merit against the Company and the Company intends to take action most favorable to the Company. There is no guarantee that the Company will prevail in this action.
Additionally, the Company is a defendant in one fair labor standards action. On October 7, 2021, a violation of Fair Labor Standards action was filed in the District Court for the Southern District of Ohio Western Division at Dayton, by Colleen Long against the Company and UVMC Nursing Care Inc. dba Koester Pavilion (the “Defendants”), on behalf of herself and all current and former non-exempt employees employed from approximately September 30, 2018 onwards (hereinafter the “Putative Class Members”), at a facility managed by the Company, alleging Defendants have failed to pay all overtime wages due. The plaintiff is seeking an order certifying the Putative Class Members as an Ohio Class and designation of the plaintiff as representative for the Ohio Class. Additionally, the plaintiff is seeking, for Putative Class Members, back pay equal to the amount of all unpaid overtime pay for three years preceding October 7, 2021 plus an additional equal amount in liquidation damages, punitive damages of not less than $150.00 for each day the violation continued, an award of 6% of the total unpaid wages or $200.00 for each instance of failure to pay wages owed within thirty days, whichever is greater, attorney’s fees and costs, and any other relief the plaintiff is entitled to. The Company intends to take action most favorable to the Company. There is no guarantee that the Company will prevail in this action.
On October 4, 2021, a medical negligence and wrongful death action was filed in the State Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, by Bonnie L. Aquilino, Traci R. Randall, and Judy W. Sturgess against Wellington, other legal entities unaffiliated with the Company, the Company, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, on behalf of, and alleging the wrongful death and medical negligence of, a patient at the facility known as Thunderbolt Transitional Care and Rehabilitation. During the patient’s dates of service, the facility was subleased to Wellington (a third-party operator) by the Company, and such facility was operated by Wellington. The plaintiff is seeking an amount in excess of $10,000 for professional malpractice and an unspecified amount for the full value of the life of the patient and other compensatory damages to be determined by jury trial. The Company is indemnified by Wellington in this action. The Company believes that this action lacks merit and the Company intends to take action most favorable to the Company. There is no guarantee that the Company will prevail in this action.
The Company established a self-insurance reserve for its professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $0.1 million and $0.2 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Additionally as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was reserved for settlement amounts in Accounts payable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For additional information regarding the Company’s self-insurance reserve, see Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies included in the Annual Report.

Item 1A. |
Risk Factors. |
For a detailed description of certain risk factors that could affect our business, operations and financial condition, see Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors, included in the Annual Report, as supplemented and modified by the risk factors set forth below in this Item 1A. The risk factors described in the Annual Report and this Quarterly Report (collectively, the “Risk Factors”) do not describe all risks applicable to our business, and we intend it only as a summary of certain material factors. The Risk Factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report because the Risk Factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock could decline.
While the Company is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living, the Company, when business conditions require, may undertake portfolio stabilization measures, such as operating a previously leased facility. On January 1, 2021, following the Wellington Transition, the Company commenced operating the Tara Facility, which facility comprises approximately 5.0% of the total amount of the Company’s licensed patient beds. This portfolio stabilization measure exposes the Company directly to all the risks our tenants face as discussed in this “Risk Factors” section.
COVID-19 Global Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the respiratory illness caused by a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19, a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has led governments and other authorities in the United States to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to protect its spread have adversely affected our business during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and we expect it will continue to adversely affect our business in the near future and beyond, for a variety of reasons, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Our tenants’ operations have been, and we expect will continue to be, materially and adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to, among other things, decreased occupancy and increased operating costs (including costs due to the implementation of additional safety protocols and procedures, purchases of personal protective equipment, increased staffing to allow facilities to adhere to social distancing and infection control protocols, and premium pay and incentive pay for the staff), which may affect our tenants’ ability to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease agreements.
The COVID-19 pandemic may also lead to temporary closures of nursing facilities, operated by our tenants, which also may affect our tenants’ ability to make their rental payments to us pursuant to their respective lease agreements. In addition, our tenants’ operations could be further disrupted if any of their employees, or the employees of their vendors, have, or are suspected of having, COVID-19. This could cause, and in some cases has already caused, our tenants or their vendors to experience staffing shortages, and this could potentially require our tenants and their vendors to close parts of or entire facilities, distribution centers, or other buildings to disinfect any affected areas.
We could also be adversely affected if government authorities impose upon our tenants, or their vendors, certain restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These restrictions may be in the form of mandatory closures, requested voluntary closures, bans on new admissions, restricted operations, or restrictions on the importation of necessary equipment or supplies which may adversely affect our tenants’ operations and their ability to make rental payments to us moving forward. In addition, family members may elect to keep nursing facility residents at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus reducing our tenants’ revenue. Currently, a number of our tenants have stopped admitting new patients due to rising COVID-19 infections which has resulted in decreased revenues.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our tenants may face lawsuits for alleged negligence associated with their responses to the emergency. The costs associated with defending, settling, or paying damages from such claims could negatively impact our tenants’ operating budgets and affect their ability to meet their obligations under our leases. Further, we may be subject to increased lawsuits arising out of our alleged actions or the alleged actions of our tenants for which they have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. An unfavorable resolution of any such pending or future litigation could materially adversely affect us. The Company is not aware of any such lawsuits against our tenants.
43
If our tenants are unable to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease obligations, whether due to the tenants’ decrease in revenues or otherwise, then, in some cases, we may be forced to either attempt to replace tenants or restructure tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place.
While the Company has received approximately 64% of its anticipated monthly rental receipts from tenants for the three months ended March 31, 2022, there are a number of uncertainties the Company faces as it considers the potential impact of COVID-19 on its business, including the length of census disruption, elevated COVID-19 operating costs related to personal protection equipment, cleaning supplies, virus testing and increased overtime due to staff illness.
On November 5, 2021, the CMS published COVID-19 Health Care Staff Vaccination requirements that most Medicare- and Medicaid-certified providers and suppliers must meet in order to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. This emergency regulation was effective immediately and requires employees at Medicare and Medicaid-participating facilities and employers with more than 100 employees to be vaccinated. Some states have also issued their own orders to employers and healthcare providers that may or may not align with federal directives. The legality of both federal and state vaccine mandates will likely be decided by the courts. Until pending laws and regulations related to vaccine mandates are both finalized and adjudicated, our tenants will continue to manage in different ways — from mandating vaccines for all employees to waiting to see how the issue is ultimately resolved. The mandates, as presently written, may cause disruption to tenants’ operations if employees refuse vaccination and are terminated, and our tenants are not able to replace them in a timely manner or experience increased costs to do so.
To help offset these costs as well as occupancy declines, various relief programs have been enacted by federal and state governments, which have provided, and we expect will continue to provide, some payments to our tenants, subject to the programs’ respective terms and conditions. The CARES Act established a grant program administered by the HHS under which Provider Relief Funds have been made available. In early November 2021, the HHS closed the application portal for its Phase 4 allocation of approximately $17 billion of Provider Relief Funds and an allocation of approximately $8.5 billion in American Rescue Plan resources for providers serving patients living in rural areas. We expect that our tenants pursued additional funding from these allocations, and will pursue any future funding that may become available, though there can be no assurance that our tenants will qualify for, or receive, any Phase 4 or American Rescue Plan, or any future, funding.
We also do not know the number of facilities that will ultimately experience widespread, high-cost outbreaks of COVID-19. While we have requested reporting from operators of their numbers of cases and HHS and CMS has required additional reporting by operators, we may not receive accurate information on the number of cases, which could result in a delay in reporting. We expect to see continued increased clinical protocols for infection control within facilities and increased monitoring of employees, guests and other individuals entering facilities; however, we do not yet know if future reimbursement rates in combination with the various relief programs that have been made available will be sufficient to cover the increased costs of enhanced infection control and monitoring. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our and our operators’ operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the ultimate duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, which may depend on factors such as the development and implementation of an effective vaccine and treatments for COVID-19, government funds and other support for the senior care sector, and the efficacy of other policies and measures that may mitigate the impact of the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to these uncertainties, we are unable at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on our business, but the adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows could be material.
Risks Related to Our Capital Structure
We have substantial indebtedness, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $52.8 million, net of $1.3 million deferred financing and unamortized discounts, in indebtedness. We may also obtain additional short-term and long-term debt to meet future capital needs, subject to certain restrictions under our existing indebtedness, which would increase our total debt. Our substantial amount of debt could have negative consequences to our business. For example, it could:
|
• |
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions or a downturn in our business; |
|
• |
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flows from operations to interest and principal payments on outstanding debt, thereby limiting the availability of cash flow for dividends and other general corporate purposes; |
|
• |
require us to maintain certain debt coverage and other financial ratios at specified levels, thereby reducing our financial flexibility; |
44
|
• |
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations; |
|
• |
expose us to increases in interest rates for our variable rate debt; |
|
• |
limit our ability to borrow additional funds on favorable terms, or at all, for working capital, debt service requirements, expansion of our business or other general corporate purposes; |
|
• |
limit our ability to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity on the same or more favorable terms, or at all; |
|
• |
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; |
|
• |
limit our ability to make acquisitions or take advantage of business opportunities as they arise; |
|
• |
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared with our competitors that have less debt; and |
|
• |
limit our ability to borrow additional funds, even when necessary to maintain adequate liquidity. |
In addition, our ability to borrow funds in the future will depend in part on the satisfaction of the covenants in our debt agreements. If we are unable to satisfy the financial covenants contained in those agreements, or are unable to generate cash sufficient to make required debt payments, the lenders and other parties to those arrangements could accelerate the maturity of some or all of our outstanding indebtedness.
We depend on affiliates of C.R Management and Aspire for a significant portion of our revenues and any inability or unwillingness by such entities to satisfy their obligations to us could have a material adverse effect on us.
As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report, our 20 properties (excluding the one facility operated by us and three facilities that are managed by us) are operated by a total of 20 separate tenants, with each of our tenants being affiliated with one of seven local or regionally-focused operators. We refer to our tenants who are affiliated with the same operator as a group of affiliated tenants. Each of our operators operate (through a group of affiliated tenants) between one and six of our facilities, with our most material operators, C.R Management and Aspire, each operating (through a group of affiliated tenants) six and five facilities, respectively. We therefore depend on tenants who are affiliated with C.R Management and Aspire for a significant portion of our revenues. We give no assurance that the tenants affiliated with C.R Management and Aspire will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them to make rental payments to us or to otherwise satisfy their obligations under the applicable leases and subleases, and any inability or unwillingness by such tenants to do so could have a material adverse effect on us.
Item 2. |
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. |
None.
Item 3. |
Defaults upon Senior Securities. |
The Board suspended dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, commencing with the fourth quarter of 2017, and determined to continue such suspension indefinitely in June 2018. No dividends have been declared or paid with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock since the third quarter of 2017. As a result of such suspension, as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report the Company has $39.1 million of undeclared preferred stock dividends in arrears, with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, whose annual dividend rate has increased to 12.875% commencing with the fourth quarter of 2018. For further information see Note 9 – Common and Preferred Stock.
Item 4. |
Mine Safety Disclosures. |
Not applicable.
Item 5. |
Other Information. |
On May 26, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Paul O’Sullivan, the Company’s Vice President, to serve as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, effective immediately.
Mr. O’Sullivan, age 44, has served as the Company’s Vice President since December 2020. From 2017 to 2020, Mr. O’Sullivan served as the Vice President of Asset Management at Formation Development Group, which builds senior housing facilities. From 2014 to 2017, Mr. O’Sullivan worked as a financial analyst for CSG Advisors, a municipal bond advisory company. Mr. O’Sullivan earned his MBA from Georgia State University, and holds a CPA license and a CFA designation.
45
The Company does not have an employment agreement with Mr. O’Sullivan. He will not receive any additional compensation for serving as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Since January 1, 2021, Mr. O’Sullivan has earned compensation of approximate $181,249 in cash and $22,550 in company stock for his service as the Company’s Vice President.
Item 6. |
