Related Person Transactions	Note 10. Related Person Transactions Five Star: 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 shares of common stock to our shareholders. As of March 31, 2014, we owned 4,235,000 shares of common stock of Five Star, or approximately 8.7% of Five Star’s outstanding shares of common stock. One of our Managing Trustees, Mr. Barry Portnoy, is a managing director of Five Star. RMR provides management services to both us and Five Star. Five Star’s President and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer are officers of RMR. As of March 31, 2014, we leased 186 senior living communities 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 March 31, 2014 was $190,614, excluding percentage rent. We recognized total rental income from Five Star of $47,506 and $49,444 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, our rents receivable from Five Star were $15,835 and $17,620, respectively, and those amounts are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We had deferred estimated percentage rent under our Five Star leases of $1,416 and $1,254 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, pursuant to the terms of our leases with Five Star, we purchased $8,614 and $8,171, respectively, 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 $689 and $654, respectively. In June 2013, we and Five Star agreed to offer for sale 11 senior living communities we lease to Five Star. Five Star’s rent payable to us will be reduced if and as these sales may occur pursuant to terms set in our leases with Five Star. In August 2013, we sold one of these communities, a SNF, with 112 living units, for a sales price of $2,550, and as a result of this sale, Five Star’s annual minimum rent payable to us decreased by $255, or 10% of the net proceeds of the sale to us, in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease. In January 2014, we sold one senior living community located in Texas with 36 assisted living units, for a sale price of $2,400, and as a result of this sale, Five Star’s annual minimum rent payable to us decreased by $210, or 8.75% of the net proceeds of the sale to us, in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease. We can provide no assurance that the remaining nine senior living communities which we and Five Star have agreed to offer for sale will be sold, when any sales may occur or what the terms of any sales may provide. Five Star began managing communities for our account in 2011 in connection with our acquisition of certain senior living communities at that time. We have since acquired additional communities that are being managed by Five Star. As of March 31, 2014, Five Star managed 44 senior living communities for our account. We lease our senior living communities that are managed by Five Star that include assisted living units or SNFs to our TRSs, and Five Star manages these communities pursuant to long term management agreements. In connection with the management agreements, we and Five Star have entered into four combination agreements, or pooling agreements: three pooling agreements combine our management agreements for communities that include assisted living units, or the AL Pooling Agreements, and a fourth pooling agreement, combines our management agreements for communities consisting only of independent living units, or the IL Pooling Agreement. The management agreements that are included in each of our pooling agreements are on substantially similar terms. Each of our first and second AL Pooling Agreements includes 20 identified communities. The third AL Pooling Agreement currently includes the management agreement for a community we acquired in November 2013. The IL Pooling Agreement currently includes management agreements for two communities that have only independent living units. The senior living community in New York described below that Five Star manages for our account is not included in any of our pooling agreements. 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 such pooling agreement, including determinations of our return on our invested capital and Five Star’s incentive fees. We incurred management fees of $2,425 and $2,295 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 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. 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 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. Our TRS is obligated to advance any rent shortfalls to D&R Yonkers LLC, and D&R Yonkers LLC is obligated to repay one of our TRSs only from available revenues generated by the subleased community. We may enter into additional management arrangements with Five Star for our senior living communities and we may add the management agreements to our existing pooling agreements or enter into additional pooling agreements with Five Star. RMR: 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: (i) a business management agreement, which relates to our business generally, and (ii) a property management agreement, which relates to the property level operations of our MOBs. 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. A majority of 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 a majority of those companies and Mr. Adam Portnoy serves as a managing trustee of a majority of those companies. 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 $6,682 and $6,550 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the terms of our business management agreement, as amended in December 2013, we issued 30,279 of our common shares to RMR for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as payment for 10% of the base business management fee we recognized for such period. In connection with our property management agreement with RMR, the aggregate property management and construction supervision fees we recognized were $1,638 and $1,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts are included in property operating expenses or have been capitalized, as appropriate, in our condensed consolidated financial statements. AIC: We, RMR, Five Star and four other companies to which RMR provides management services each currently own approximately 12.5% of Affiliates Insurance Company, or AIC, an Indiana insurance company. All of our Trustees and most of the trustees and directors of the other AIC shareholders 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. 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 currently expires in June 2014, and we may determine to renew our participation in this program at that time. As of March 31, 2014, we have invested $5,209 in AIC since its formation in 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 as all of our Trustees are also directors of AIC. Our investment in AIC had a carrying value of $5,835 and $5,913 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which amounts are included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We recognized a loss of $97 and income of $76 related to our investment in AIC for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. On March 25, 2014, as a result of the removal, without cause, of all of the trustees of CWH, CWH underwent a change in control, as defined in the shareholders agreement among us, the other shareholders of AIC and AIC. In April 2014, as a result of the change in control of CWH and in accordance with the terms of the shareholders agreement, we provided notice of exercise of our right to purchase shares of AIC CWH then owned. We expect that we and the other non-CWH shareholders will purchase pro rata all of the AIC shares CWH owns. As such, we expect to purchase 2,857 of those shares for $825, and that following these purchases, we and the other remaining six shareholders will then each own approximately 14.3% of AIC.
