Note 3. Real Estate Properties

At March 31, 2015, we owned 392 properties (419 buildings) located in 39 states and Washington, D.C. We have accounted, or expect to account for, the following acquisitions as business combinations unless otherwise noted.

MOB Acquisitions:

In January 2015, we acquired 23 properties (23 buildings) leased to medical providers, medical related businesses, clinics and biotech laboratory tenants, or MOBs, for approximately $539,000, including the assumption of approximately $29,955 of mortgage debt with a weighted average interest rate of 4.73%, and excluding closing costs. These MOBs are located in 12 states and include approximately 2,170,000 square feet of leasable space. We funded this acquisition using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The 23 properties were purchased from Select Income REIT, or SIR, in connection with the acquisition by SIR of Cole Corporate Income Trust, Inc., or CCIT. See Note 10 for further information regarding this transaction.

These amounts include the cash we paid plus the debt we assumed, if any, as well as other settlement adjustments with respect to the acquisitions, but exclude closing costs. The allocation of the purchase price of our acquisitions shown above is based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Consequently, amounts preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed may change from those used in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Senior Living Community Acquisitions:

In December 2014, we entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 38 senior living communities with 3,466 living units located in 16 states for $790,000, excluding closing costs, and including the assumption of approximately $153,000 of mortgage debt with a weighted average interest rate of 4.77%. These communities include an aggregate of 3,466 living units, comprised of 826 independent living units, 1,860 assisted living units, 744 memory care units and 36 skilled nursing facility units. On May 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of 37 of these senior living communities with 3,379 living units for approximately $762,611, excluding closing costs, and we amended the purchase agreement to accommodate a delayed closing of the remaining senior living community with 87 living units. The acquisition of the one remaining senior living community is subject to various conditions; accordingly, we can provide no assurance that we will acquire this community, that the acquisition will not be delayed further or that the terms will not change. Nineteen of the 38 communities, with 2,190 living units, including the one community that we have not yet acquired, are leased to seven senior living operators. The 19 remaining communities, with 1,276 living units, were acquired using taxable real estate investment trust, or REIT, subsidiary, or TRS, structures. Pursuant to pre-existing management agreements, we paid fees of $975 and terminated these agreements for 14 of the 19 communities, with 881 living units, and entered into management agreements with Five Star Quality Care, Inc., or Five Star, to manage these communities. See Note 10 for further information regarding these management agreements with Five Star. The remaining five communities, with 395 living units, continue to be managed by the current third party senior living operator. As of the date of this filing, the purchase price allocation for this acquisition is pending.

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.

Impairment:

We periodically evaluate our properties for impairments. Impairment indicators may include declining tenant occupancy, weak or declining tenant profitability, cash flow or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life, and legislative, market or industry changes that could permanently reduce the value of a property. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the affected property by comparing it to the expected future undiscounted net cash flows to be generated from that property. If the sum of these expected future net cash flows is less than the carrying value, we reduce the net carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.

Discontinued Operations and Properties Held for Sale:

As of March 31, 2015, we had three senior living communities with 192 living units and one MOB (four buildings) with 323,541 square feet categorized as properties held for sale. These four properties are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and have a net book value (after impairment) of approximately $3,145 at March 31, 2015. We classify all properties as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheets that meet the applicable criteria for that treatment as set forth in the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or the Codification.

Results of operations for properties sold or held for sale are included in discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations once the criteria for discontinued operations in the Presentation of Financial Statements Topic of the Codification are met. The senior living properties which we are or were offering for sale as of the applicable periods do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations as they are included within combination leases with other properties that we expect to continue leasing. We had one MOB (four buildings) and four MOBs (seven buildings), classified in discontinued operations as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Summarized income statement information for these MOBs that meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations is as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2015		2014
Rental income	$	32	$	2,294
Property operating expenses		(273)		(994)
(Loss) income from discontinued operations	$	(241)	$	1,300

Dispositions:

In February 2015, we sold one vacant senior living community located in Pennsylvania for a sale price of $250, excluding closing costs. In April 2015, we sold the remaining held for sale MOB (four buildings) for a sale price of $1,500, excluding closing costs. Any adjustments to net book value related to this sale will be recognized in the second quarter of 2015 when all of the costs of the sale are known.
