Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Acquisition of Two Skilled Nursing Facilities in Colorado

General

On September 22, 2014, through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, we acquired a 60 bed skilled nursing facility in Lamar, Colorado (“Lamar”) from Juniper Meadows, L.P., an unaffiliated third party and a 60 bed skilled nursing facility in Monte Vista, Colorado (“Monte Vista”) from Juniper Haven, L.P., an unaffiliated third party (collectively the “Properties”) for $8 million including cash on hand plus the loan described in Item 2.03 below.

The Properties are leased to an affiliate of Dakavia Management Corporation of Salem, Oregon, under long-term triple net leases. The information in Item 2.03 below is hereby incorporated in this Item 2.01.

The press release is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1 and hereby incorporated to this Form 8-K.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

We acquired our interest in the Properties subject to a loan secured by the Properties. On September 22, 2014, we entered into a loan agreement with The Private Bank for a loan in the aggregate amount of $6.0 million collateralized by security interests in the Properties. The loan, which bears interest at the One Month LIBOR (London Interbank Rate), with a floor of 25 basis points, plus a spread of 4.50%, has a 25 year amortization schedule and matures on September 21, 2017. The loan may be prepaid with no penalty if the Properties are refinanced through the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
