We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with Five Star, RMR and others affiliated with them, including other companies to which RMR provides management services and which have trustees, directors and officers who are also trustees, directors or officers of us or RMR.  For further information about these and other such relationships and certain other related person transactions, please refer to our Annual Report.

Five Star:  As of March 31, 2015, we leased 180 senior living communities to Five Star.  Five Star's total minimum annual rent payable to us as of March 31, 2015, was $191,007, excluding percentage rent.  We recognized total rental income from Five Star of $47,691 and $47,506 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our rents receivable from Five Star were $15,893 and $17,310, respectively, and those amounts are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.  In April 2015 and 2014, we received estimated percentage rent payments from Five Star of $1,456 and $1,416 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  We determine actual percentage rent due under our Five Star leases annually and recognize any resulting amount as rental income at year end when all contingencies are met.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, pursuant to the terms of our leases with Five Star, we purchased $4,550 and $8,614, 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 $367 and $689, respectively. 

 

In February 2015, we and Five Star sold a vacant assisted living community located in Pennsylvania with 120 units for a sale price of $250; and, as a result of this sale, Five Star’s annual minimum rent payable to us decreased by $23 in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease.

 

As of March 31, 2015, Five Star managed 46 senior living communities for our account.  Pursuant to our management agreements with Five Star, we incurred management fees of $2,523 and $2,425 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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.

 

In connection with our acquisition of 37 senior living communities in May 2015 described in Note 3, we terminated the pre-existing management agreements for 14 of these communities, with 881 living units, and entered into management agreements with Five Star to manage these communities for our account.

 

In April 2015, we entered into an agreement to acquire one senior living community with 40 private pay independent living units located in Cumming, GA, for approximately $9,750, excluding closing costs. We intend to acquire this community using a TRS structure and we expect to enter into a management agreement with Five Star to manage this community. This senior living community is adjacent to another community that we own which is managed by Five Star. This acquisition is subject to various conditions; accordingly, we can provide no assurance that we will purchase this property, that the acquisition and related expected management arrangement with Five Star will not be delayed or that the terms will not change.

 

Pursuant to the sublease agreement between one of our TRSs and D&R Yonkers LLC, D&R Yonkers LLC paid to us $752 and $730 in rent for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  D&R Yonkers LLC is owned by our officers in order to accommodate certain state licensing requirements.
