Related Person Transactions	Note 11. Related Person Transactions Five Star was formerly our 100% owned subsidiary. Five Star is our largest tenant, we are Five Star’s largest stockholder and Five Star manages several senior living communities for us. In 2001, we distributed substantially all of Five Star’s then outstanding common shares to our shareholders. As of June 30, 2013, we owned 4,235,000 shares of common stock of Five Star, or approximately 8.8% of Five Star’s outstanding shares of common stock. One of our Managing Trustees, Mr. Barry Portnoy, is also a managing director of Five Star. RMR provides management services to both us and Five Star. As of June 30, 2013, we leased 188 senior living communities and two rehabilitation hospitals to Five Star. Under Five Star’s leases with us, Five Star pays us rent consisting of minimum annual rent amounts plus percentage rent based on increases in gross revenues at certain properties. Five Star’s total minimum annual rent payable to us as of June 30, 2013 was $198,984, excluding percentage rent. We recognized total rental income from Five Star of $49,595 and $48,942 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $99,027 and $97,753 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our rents receivable from Five Star were $17,804 and $17,680, respectively, and those amounts are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We had deferred percentage rent under our Five Star leases of $1,268 and $1,201 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2,517 and $2,412 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We determine percentage rent due under our Five Star leases annually and recognize it at year end when all contingencies are met. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, pursuant to the terms of our leases with Five Star, we purchased $15,901 of improvements made to properties leased to Five Star, and, as a result, the annual rent payable to us by Five Star increased by approximately $1,272. As of June 30, 2013, Five Star managed 39 senior living communities for our account. We lease our senior living communities that are managed by Five Star that include assisted living units to our TRSs, and Five Star manages these communities pursuant to long term management agreements on substantially similar terms. In connection with the management agreements, we and Five Star have entered into three pooling agreements: two pooling agreements which pool our management agreements for communities that include assisted living units, or the AL Pooling Agreements, and a third pooling agreement, which pools our management agreements for communities consisting only of independent living units, or the IL Pooling Agreement. We entered into the initial AL Pooling Agreement in May 2011 and the second AL Pooling Agreement in October 2012. In connection with entering into the second AL Pooling Agreement, we and Five Star amended and restated the initial AL Pooling Agreement so that it includes only the management agreements for 20 identified communities. The second AL Pooling Agreement includes the management agreements for the remaining communities that include assisted living units that Five Star currently manages (other than with respect to the senior living community in New York described below). We entered into the IL Pooling Agreement in August 2012 and that agreement currently includes management agreements for two communities that have only independent living units. Each of the AL Pooling Agreements and the IL Pooling Agreement aggregates the determination of fees and expenses of the various communities that are subject to the applicable pooling agreement, including determinations of our return on our invested capital and Five Star’s incentive fees. We incurred management fees of $2,281 and $4,576 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $1,080 and $2,148 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, with respect to the communities Five Star manages. These amounts are included in property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. We expect that we may enter into additional management arrangements with Five Star for senior living communities that we may acquire in the future on terms similar to those management arrangements we currently have with Five Star. For example, as noted in Note 3, we have entered into agreements to acquire five senior living communities. If these acquisitions are completed, we will lease these communities to one or more of our TRSs and we expect to enter into long term management agreements with Five Star to manage these communities on terms similar to those management arrangements we currently have with Five Star for communities that include assisted living units and that these management agreements would be added to the second AL Pooling Agreement or a new pooling agreement after the number of communities included in the second AL Pooling Agreement equals 20. These acquisitions are subject to due diligence and other conditions and there can be no assurance that these acquisitions will be completed, that they will not be delayed or that their terms will not change. We own a senior living community in New York with 310 living units, a portion of which is managed by Five Star pursuant to a long term management agreement with us with respect to the living units at this community that are not subject to the requirements of New York healthcare licensing laws. The terms of this management agreement are substantially consistent with the terms of our other management agreements with Five Star for communities that include assisted living units, except the management fee we pay is equal to 5% of the gross revenues realized at that portion of the community and there is no incentive fee payable by us to Five Star. In order to accommodate certain requirements of New York healthcare licensing laws, one of our TRSs subleases the portion of this community that is subject to those requirements to an entity, D&R Yonkers LLC, which is owned by our President and Chief Operating Officer and our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. Five Star manages this portion of the community pursuant to a long term management agreement with D&R Yonkers LLC. Under the sublease agreement, D&R Yonkers LLC is obligated to pay rent only from available revenues generated by the subleased community and our TRS is obligated to advance any rent shortfalls to D&R Yonkers LLC. As discussed above in Note 5, in May 2011, we and Five Star entered into the Bridge Loan, under which we lent to Five Star $80,000 to fund a portion of Five Star’s purchase of six senior living communities. In April 2012, Five Star repaid in full the $38,000 principal amount then outstanding under the Bridge Loan, resulting in the termination of the Bridge Loan. We recognized interest income from the Bridge Loan of $39 and $314 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. We have no employees. Personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR. We have two agreements with RMR to provide management and administrative services to us: (1) a business management agreement, which relates to our business generally, and (2) a property management agreement, which relates to the property level operations of our MOBs. Under our business management agreement with RMR, we acknowledge that RMR also provides management services to other companies, which include Five Star. One of our Managing Trustees, Mr. Barry Portnoy, is Chairman, majority owner and an employee of RMR. Our other Managing Trustee, Mr. Adam Portnoy, is the son of Mr. Barry Portnoy, and an owner, President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of RMR. Each of our executive officers is also an officer of RMR, and our President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. David Hegarty, is a director of RMR. Five Star’s President and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer are officers of RMR. Our Independent Trustees also serve as independent directors or independent trustees of other public companies to which RMR provides management services. Mr. Barry Portnoy serves as a managing director or managing trustee of those companies, including Five Star, and Mr. Adam Portnoy serves as a managing trustee of a majority of those companies, but not Five Star. In addition, officers of RMR serve as officers of those companies. Pursuant to our business management agreement with RMR, we recognized business management fees of $6,691 and $6,367 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $13,241 and $12,727 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. In March 2013, we issued 21,968 of our common shares to RMR for an incentive fee payable to RMR for 2012 services, in accordance with the terms of our business management agreement. In connection with our property management agreement with RMR, we recognized aggregate property management and construction supervision fees of $1,659 and $1,424 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3,259 and $2,770 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts are included in property operating expenses or have been capitalized, as appropriate, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We, RMR, Five Star and five other companies to which RMR provides management services each currently own 12.5% of Affiliates Insurance Company, or AIC, an Indiana insurance company. All of our Trustees, all of the trustees and directors of the other publicly held AIC shareholders and nearly all of the directors of RMR currently serve on the board of directors of AIC. RMR provides management and administrative services to AIC pursuant to a management and administrative services agreement with AIC. As of June 30, 2013, we have invested $5,209 in AIC since its formation in November 2008. Although we own less than 20% of AIC, we use the equity method to account for this investment because we believe that we have significant influence over AIC because all of our Trustees are also directors of AIC. Our investment in AIC had a carrying value of $5,703 and $5,629 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which amounts are include in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We recognized income of $79 and $76 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $155 and $121 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to our investment in AIC. We and the other shareholders of AIC have purchased property insurance providing $500,000 of coverage pursuant to an insurance program arranged by AIC and with respect to which AIC is a reinsurer of certain coverage amounts. This program was modified and extended in June 2013 for a one year term, and we paid a premium, including taxes and fees, of $4,748 in connection with that renewal, which amount may be adjusted from time to time as we acquire or dispose of properties that are included in this program. We periodically consider the possibilities for expanding our insurance relationships with AIC to include other types of insurance and may in the future participate in additional insurance offerings AIC may provide or arrange. We may invest additional amounts in AIC in the future if the expansion of this insurance business requires additional capital, but we are not obligated to do so. By participating in this insurance business with RMR and the other companies to which RMR provides management services, we expect that we may benefit financially by possibly reducing our insurance expenses or by realizing our pro rata share of any profits of this insurance business.
