NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Summit Healthcare REIT, Inc., a Maryland Corporation, was formed on October 22, 2004 under the General Corporation Law of Maryland for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial real estate. As used in this report, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Summit Healthcare REIT, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (including variable interest entities) except where the context otherwise requires. Until April 1, 2014 and subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business was managed pursuant to an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Cornerstone Realty Advisors, LLC (“CRA”). Beginning April 1, 2014, the Company became self-managed and has hired employees to directly manage its operations.

 

Generally we conduct substantially all of our operations through Cornerstone Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership, which was formed on November 30, 2004. At September 30, 2014, we own a 99.88% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership while CRA owns a 0.12% limited partnership interest. Our financial statements and the financial statements of the Operating Partnership are consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. These financial statements include consolidation of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that is currently classified as held for sale (see Note 10). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In 2012, we formed Cornerstone Healthcare Partners LLC (“CHP LLC”) with Cornerstone Healthcare Real Estate Fund, Inc. (“CHREF”), an affiliate of CRA. We own 95% of CHP LLC, with the remaining 5% owned by CHREF. As CHP LLC’s equity holders have voting rights disproportionate to their economic interests in the entity, CHP LLC is considered to be a VIE. We have a controlling financial interest in CHP LLC because we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and we have the obligation to absorb the VIE’s losses and the right to receive benefits from the VIE. Consequently, we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and therefore have consolidated the operations of the VIE beginning in the third quarter of 2012.

 

During 2012, we acquired Sheridan Care Center, Fern Hill Care Center, Farmington Square, Friendship Haven Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center (“Friendship Haven”) and Pacific Health and Rehabilitation Center healthcare properties (collectively, the “JV Properties”) through CHP LLC. In the third quarter of 2013, as part of our strategy to raise new property level joint venture equity capital to support growth and diversify operator, geographic and other risks, we caused CHP LLC to sell a portion of its interests in the JV Properties to third party investors. Proceeds from the sale of interests in these JV Properties were $0.9 million as of September 30, 2014, of which we received $0.8 million and CHREF received $41,000. At September 30, 2014, we owned an 89.0% interest in the JV Properties, CHREF owned a 4.7% interest and third party investors owned 6.3%. The CHP LLC offering has been terminated.

 

7
 

 

In May 2014, we formed a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) which became the licensed operator of Friendship Haven (see Note 4).

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

For more information regarding our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2014. There have been no material changes to our policies since this filing, except as follows:

 

We recognize resident fees monthly as services are provided in cases where we serve as the licensed operator of our facilities (see Note 4).

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. We assume that users of these condensed consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited December 31, 2013 consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation, except in regard to material contingencies, may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnotes and other disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 have been omitted in this report.

  

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CHP LLC (of which the Company owns 95%) and Nantucket Acquisition LLC, a variable interest entity (see Note 10). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

   

The accompanying financial information reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). This ASU requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The ASU requires disclosures that will enable financial statement users to understand the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and management’s plans to alleviate such conditions and events. If substantial doubt cannot be alleviated, an entity must include a statement in the footnotes to the financial statements indicating that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The standard is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this new standard but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements, when adopted.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.

 

8
 

 

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017. 

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This ASU changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations by raising the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The standard limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.

 

This standard is effective for the Company on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2015 and interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this new standard but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements, when adopted.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Assets held for sale, and related liabilities, have been reclassified in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the operating results of those assets, including assets sold, have been reclassified from continuing to discontinued operations for all periods presented. 

 

 

3. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

 

Our condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, certain other assets, deferred costs and deposits, payable to related parties, prepaid rent and deferred revenue, security deposits and loan payable. With the exception of notes receivable and loan payable discussed below, we consider the carrying values to approximate fair value for such financial instruments because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected payment.

 

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of loan payable was $61.6 million and $52.9 million compared to the carrying value of $61.1 million and $52.8 million, respectively. The fair value of loan payable is estimated using lending rates available to us for financial instruments with similar terms and maturities. To estimate fair value at September 30, 2014, we utilized a discount rate of 4.75%.

 

As a result of our ongoing analysis for potential impairment of our investments in real estate, we may be required to adjust the carrying value of certain assets to their estimated fair values, or estimated fair value less selling costs, under certain circumstances (see Note 4). No impairments were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. 

 

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we do not have any financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

  (1) The above table excludes Sherburne Commons Residences, LLC (“Sherburne Commons”), VIE for which we became the primary beneficiary and began consolidating its financial results as of June 30, 2011. As of October 19, 2011, Sherburne Commons was classified as held for sale (See Note 15).

 

  (2) We terminated the lease with the operator of this facility on March 16, 2014 and became the licensed operator of the facility on May 1, 2014 through a wholly- owned taxable REIT subsidiary (see Friendship Haven Taxable REIT Subsidiary).

As of September 30, 2014, adjusted cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization related to investments in real estate, including the CHP LLC acquisitions, and excluding assets of variable interest entity held for sale, were as follows:

Net investments in real estate  $6,772,000   $69,258,000   $5,003,000   $81,033,000 

 

Friendship Haven Taxable REIT Subsidiary

 

Beginning in January 2014, the tenant/operator of the Friendship Haven ceased paying rent payments due to us under the lease agreement. On March 16, 2014, we terminated the lease agreement. Effective May 1, 2014, we became the licensed operator of the facility through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). Upon becoming the licensed operator of the facility, we entered into a management agreement with an affiliate of Stonegate Senior Living (“Stonegate”). We plan to operate the facility with the Stonegate affiliate or another operator until a long-term lease agreement can be secured with a financially stable tenant/operator. We are currently seeking to secure a long term triple net lease with an operator and hope to finalize an arrangement in early 2015.

 

Impairments

 

We conduct a comprehensive review of our real estate assets for impairment. We recorded no impairment charges related to properties held and used for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

  

Real Estate Held for Sale

 

We sold our remaining industrial assets in 2013. Consequently, we reclassified these properties to real estate held for sale and their financial operations to discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2013. When assets are classified as held for sale, they are recorded at the lower of carrying value or the estimated fair value of the asset, net of estimated selling costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded $0 and $3.4 million impairment to real estate held for sale.

 

See Note 15 for discussion of amounts recorded in discontinued operations.

 

Leasing Commissions

 

Leasing commissions are capitalized at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the unamortized balance of capitalized leasing commissions was $1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The amortization of Friendship Haven’s leasing commission totaling $0.4 million was accelerated due to the lease termination on March 16, 2014. Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $40,000 and $41,000, respectively. Amortization expense related to capitalized leasing commission for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $489,000 and $108,000, respectively.

Acquisitions

 

Juniper Facilities

 

On September 22, 2014, we acquired two skilled nursing facilities in Lamar and Monte Vista, Colorado for a total purchase price of $7.9 million and leased the facilities to Dakavia Management Corporation for an initial term of 15 years, plus one five year renewal option. Each facility has a total of 60 beds. The initial lease rate is 10% with fixed annual escalators. Because the facilities were owner-occupied, we accounted for the acquisition as an asset purchase.

 

The following sets forth the allocation of the purchase price of the properties acquired in 2014 as well as the associated acquisitions costs, which have been capitalized. 

 

   Lamar   Monte Vista   Total 
Land  $159,000   $111,000   $270,000 
Buildings & improvements   4,163,000    3,029,000    7,192,000 
Site improvements   59,000    144,000    203,000 
Furniture & fixtures   194,000    184,000    378,000 
Real estate acquisition and capitalized costs  $4,575,000   $3,468,000   $8,043,000 
Third-party acquisition costs, capitalized (included above)  $75,000   $68,000   $143,000 

 

5. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts was $37,000 and $0 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

 

6. Concentration of Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk are primarily notes receivable and the note receivable from related party. Refer to Notes 7 and 8 with regard to credit risk evaluation of notes receivable and the note receivable from related party, respectively. Our cash is generally invested in investment-grade short-term instruments. As of September 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalent accounts in excess of FDIC-insured limits. However, we do not believe the risk associated with this excess is significant. 

 

As of September 30, 2014, excluding the Sherburne Commons VIE, we owned one property in California, four properties in Oregon, one property in Texas, one property in Illinois, four properties in North Carolina and two properties in Colorado. Accordingly, there is a geographic concentration of risk subject to economic and regulatory conditions in Oregon and North Carolina.

 

7. Notes Receivable

 

The Servant Healthcare Investments, LLC note was paid in full on May 2, 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, interest income related to the note receivable was $0 and $13,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, interest income related to the note receivable was $4,000 and $38,000, respectively.

 

8. Note Receivable from Related Party (eliminated in consolidation)

 

We hold a note receivable from the participating first mortgage loan made to Nantucket Acquisition LLC (“Nantucket”), a Delaware limited liability company owned and managed by Cornerstone Ventures Inc., an affiliate of CRA. We have not recorded interest income on this loan since October 2010 because of the doubtfulness of collection.

 

For our financial reporting purposes, Nantucket is considered a VIE as we are the primary beneficiary due to our enhanced ability to direct the activities of the VIE. Therefore, we have consolidated the operations since June 30, 2011 and, accordingly, eliminated the note receivable from related party in consolidation (see Note 10). As of October 19, 2011, the Sherburne Commons property met the requirements for reclassification to real estate held for sale. Consequently, the related assets and liabilities of the property are classified as assets of variable interest entity held for sale and liabilities of variable interest entity held for sale, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating results for the property have been reclassified to discontinued operations on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

 

12
 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the note receivable balance increased by $82,000 and $292,000, respectively, to provide funds to meet Sherburne Commons’ operating shortfalls. The following table reconciles the note receivable from Nantucket from January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014 and from January 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013: 

 

   2014   2013

Elimination of balance in consolidation of VIE   (82,000)   (292,000)
           
Balance at September 30,  $   $ 

 

9. Receivable from Related Party

 

The receivable from related party primarily consists of the “excess organization and offering costs” (as described below) paid to CRA related to our follow-on securities offering which terminated on June 10, 2012, operating costs reimbursed to CRA that exceed limits set forth in our charter, excess reimbursements for direct expenses paid to CRA, and excess asset management fees paid to CRA.

  

According to the Advisory Agreement in effect at the time, CRA is obligated to reimburse us the “organization and offering costs” that exceed 3.5% of our offering gross proceeds within sixty days after the end of the month in which the offering terminates. Consequently, we recorded a receivable from CRA for $1.0 million related to the organization and offering expenses related to our primary and secondary stock offerings, but reserved the full amount based on our collectability analysis. As of September 30, 2014, the gross balance of this receivable was $0.7 million before being fully reserved. CRA repaid varying amounts against this receivable quarterly during 2013, but no repayment has occurred in 2014 (see Note 12).  

 

Our total operating expenses are limited to certain amounts as defined in our charter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our total operating expenses exceeded such limit by $1.7 million. We recorded this excess as receivable from related party and reserved for the entire amount due to the uncertainty of collectability (see Note 12).

  

We over-reimbursed CRA $189,000 for various operating expenses in the first quarter of 2014. We recorded this amount as receivable from related party and reserved for the entire amount due to uncertainty of collection.

 

Additionally, we over paid CRA $32,000 for asset management fees in 2013 and 2014. We recorded this amount as receivable from related party and reserved for the entire amount due to uncertainty of collectability.

 

10. Consolidation of Nantucket Variable Interest Entity

  

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had a variable interest in a VIE in the form of a note receivable from Nantucket in the amount of $9.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively (see Note 8).

 

As a result of our issuing a notice of default and the borrower’s failure to cure the default under the note, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Therefore, we consolidated the operations of the VIE beginning June 30, 2011. Assets of the VIE may only be used to settle obligations of the VIE and creditors of the VIE have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

 

As of October 19, 2011, the Sherburne Commons property was reclassified to real estate held for sale. Consequently, the related assets and liabilities of the property are classified as assets of variable interest entity held for sale and liabilities of variable interest entity held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. Operating results for the property have been reclassified to discontinued operations on our consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, adjusted cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization related to real estate and related intangible lease assets and liabilities of the VIE held for sale were as follows:

 

    Buildings and

  $ 688,000     $ 3, 172,000   $ 45,000   $ (145,000 )

 

On October 6, 2014, we successfully foreclosed on the Sherburne Commons property.

  

11. Equity

 

Common Stock

 

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had cumulatively issued 20.9 million shares of common stock for a total of $167.1 million of gross proceeds, exclusive of shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan. We are not currently offering our shares of common stock for sale.

 

Distributions

 

Our distribution reinvestment plan was suspended indefinitely effective December 31, 2010. At this time, we cannot provide any assurance as to if or when we will resume distributions or our distribution reinvestment plan. We did not pay any distributions to stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Stock Repurchase Program

 

Our board of directors suspended repurchases under the program effective December 31, 2010. At this time, we can make no assurance as to when and on what terms repurchases will resume.

 

12. Related Party Transactions

 

Related party transactions relate to fees paid and costs reimbursed to CRA for services rendered to us through March 31, 2014.

 

Prior to the Company terminating the Advisory Agreement effective April 1, 2014, the Company had no employees. CRA was primarily responsible for managing our business affairs and carrying out the directives of our board of directors. The Advisory Agreement entitled CRA to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the investment of funds in real estate projects, among other services, as well as reimbursement of certain costs and expenses incurred by CRA in providing services to us.  Specific fees described in the Advisory Agreement which would have been owed to CRA are described below. We do not believe that we owe CRA any amounts due under the Advisory Agreement.

 

14
 

 

Advisory Agreement

 

Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, which was terminated effective April 1, 2014, CRA was required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present to us investment opportunities to provide a continuing and suitable investment program consistent with the investment policies and objectives adopted by our board of directors. The Advisory Agreement called for CRA to provide for our day-to-day management and to retain property managers and leasing agents, subject to the authority of our board of directors, and to perform other duties.

 

The fees and expense reimbursements payable to CRA under the Advisory Agreement are described in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Organizational and Offering Costs - The Advisory Agreement provided for reimbursement by CRA for organizational and offering costs in excess of 3.5% of the gross proceeds from our primary offering and follow-on offering. Under the Advisory Agreement, within 60 days after the end of the month in which our follow-on offering terminates, CRA was obligated to reimburse us to the extent that the organization and offering expenses related to our follow-on offering borne by us exceeded 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Follow-on Offering. As of June 10, 2012, the date that our follow-on offering terminated, we had reimbursed CRA a total of $1.1 million in organizational and offering costs related to our follow-on offering, of which $1.0 million was in excess of the contractual limit. Consequently, in the second quarter of 2012, we recorded a receivable from CRA for $1.0 million reflecting the excess reimbursement. However, based on our evaluation of various factors related to collectability of this receivable, we reserved the full amount of the receivable. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the gross balance of this receivable was $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively. CRA has repaid varying amounts against this receivable quarterly during 2013, but no repayment has occurred in 2014. The balance of this receivable has been fully reserved for as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

Acquisition Fees and Expenses - For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, CRA earned $0 and $0.1 million of acquisition fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, CRA earned $0 and $0.3 million of acquisition fees, respectively. These fees are included in real estate acquisition costs on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Management Fees and Expenses - For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, CRA earned $0 and $0.2 million, respectively, of asset management fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, CRA earned $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. These costs are included in asset management fees and expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

  

In addition, the Advisory Agreement provided for our reimbursement of CRA for the direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred by CRA in providing asset management services to us, including related personnel and employment costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, CRA was reimbursed $0 and $52,000, respectively, of such direct and indirect costs and expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, CRA was reimbursed $36,000 and $204,000, respectively. These costs are included in asset management fees in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

In 2013 and 2014, we overpaid CRA $32,000 for asset management fees. We have recorded this amount as receivable from related party on our September 30, 2014 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and reserved for the entire amount due to the uncertainty of collectability.

 

Operating Expenses - For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $0 and $0.3 million of operating expenses incurred on our behalf were reimbursed to CRA, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we reimbursed $0.2 million and $0.9 million of operating costs incurred by CRA on our behalf, respectively. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company paid $189,000 in excess operating expense reimbursements to CRA in prior periods. Accordingly, we have recorded this receivable due from CRA and reserved for the entire amount due to the uncertainty of collectability. 

 

Pursuant to provisions contained in our terminated Advisory Agreement, our board of directors had the responsibility of limiting our total operating expenses for each trailing four consecutive quarters to amounts that do not exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income, calculated in the manner set forth in our charter, unless a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors) made a finding that a higher level of expenses was justified (the “2%/25% Test”). In the event that a majority of the directors had not determined that such excess expenses were justified, CRA was required to reimburse to us the amount of the excess expenses paid or incurred (the “Excess Amount”).

 

15
 

 

For each four-fiscal-quarter period prior to March 31, 2014, our board of directors determined that the Excess Amount was justified and had consequently waived such Excess Amount. For the four-fiscal-quarter period ended March 31, 2014, our total operating expenses exceeded the greater of 2% of our average invested assets and 25% of our net income. We incurred operating expenses of approximately $3.7 million and incurred an Excess Amount of approximately $1.7 million during this period. Our board of directors did not waive this Excess Amount and therefore such Excess Amount is due to the Company from CRA. Accordingly, we have recorded this receivable and reserved for the entire amount due to the uncertainty of collectability.

  

Property Management and Leasing Fees and Expenses - For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, CRA earned approximately $0 and $43,000, respectively, of property management fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, CRA earned approximately $42,000 and $117,000, respectively, of property management fees. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, CRA earned leasing fees of $0 and $0.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, CRA earned $0 and $0.5 million of leasing fees, respectively. These costs are included in property operating and maintenance expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

Disposition Fee - For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, CRA earned disposition fees of $0 and $0.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, CRA earned disposition fees of $0 and $0.6 million, respectively. These fees are included in loss on sales of real estate on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. 

 

Subordinated Participation Provisions - CRA was entitled to receive a subordinated participation upon the sale of our properties, listing of our common stock or termination of CRA, contingent upon meeting/exceeding certain performance thresholds. There will not be any of these fees earned in the future based upon the Advisory Agreement termination. 

 

13. Loan Payable

 

We have total debt obligations of $61.1 million that will mature between 2016 and 2049. In connection with our loan payable, we incurred and capitalized financing costs totaling $2.1 million and $1.2 million, as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These financing costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over the life of their respective financing agreements. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $169,000 and $44,000, respectively, of deferred financing costs were amortized and included in interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $263,000 and $119,000, respectively, of deferred financing costs were amortized.

  

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association

 

This loan was paid off in its entirety in the third quarter of 2013. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $35,000 and $0.1 million, respectively, of interest expense.

 

Transamerica Life Insurance Company

 

This loan was paid off in its entirety in the third quarter of 2013. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $68,000 and $0.3 million, respectively, of interest expense related to this loan.

 

General Electric Capital Corporation – Western Property

 

This loan was paid off in its entirety in the first quarter of 2013. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $0 and $26,000, respectively, of interest expense related to this loan.

 

16
 

 

General Electric Capital Corporation – Healthcare Properties (“GE Healthcare Loan” or “GE Loan”)

 

In September 2014, we refinanced the Farmington Square, Fern Hill, Sheridan, and Pacific facilities with Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) insured loans from the Lancaster Pollard Mortgage Company, LLC. We used $21.7 million of the proceeds from these new HUD insured loans to pay down the principal of the GE Loan. Subsequent to these new HUD insured loans, the GE Loan collateral consisted of Friendship Haven and the Brookstone of Aledo facility, which was cross collateralized with the GE Loan when the principal balance was paid down. The GE Loan, which bears interest for the first 12 months at 90-day LIBOR plus 4.5%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.5%, matures on September 11, 2017, at which time all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts due under the GE Loan will become due. The GE Loan is interest only for the first 12 months of the loan, and amortized over 25 years with a 6.00% fixed interest rate thereafter. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had net borrowings of $6.4 million and $28.3 million under the GE Loan agreement, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of interest expense related to this GE Loan agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of interest expense related to this GE Loan agreement.

 

The principal payments due on the loan for the period from October 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014, and for each of the three following years ending December 31 are as follows:

 

Year  Principal
Amount
 
October 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014  $32,000 
2015   129,000 
2016   129,000 
2017   6,083,000 
Subtotal  $6,373,000 

 

General Electric Capital Corporation – Aledo Property (“Aledo Loan”)

 

The Aledo Loan is secured by the Brookstone of Aledo (“Aledo”) facility and Friendship Haven, which was cross collateralized with the Aledo Loan in September 2014 in conjunction with the refinancing of the Farmington Square, Fern Hill, Sheridan, and Pacific facilities with HUD insured loans. The Aledo Loan, which bears interest for the first 12 months at 90-day LIBOR plus 4.5%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.5%, matures on July 1, 2018, at which time all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts due under the Aledo Loan will become due.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

 

We monitor our properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, we are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

 

Our commitments and contingencies include the usual obligations of real estate owners and operators in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are subject to contingent losses related to the notes receivable and note receivable from related party. For further details see Notes 7, 8 and 9. We are also subject to contingent losses resulting from litigation against the Company.

 

On April 1, 2014 CRA and Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange-Central Justice Center, Case No. 30-2014-00714004-CU-BT-CJC, naming the Company, its directors and two of its officers as defendants, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages. On April 17, 2014, Judge Nakamura denied in its entirety plaintiffs’ ex parte application for a temporary restraining order to show cause why a preliminary injunction against the defendants should not issue.  On May 19, 2014, the Company filed a counter claim against plaintiffs and certain individuals affiliated with CRA and affiliated entities. The Company continues to believe that all of plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend itself. Plaintiffs and defendants are conducting discovery.

 

On April 4, 2014, we entered into a lease agreement effective May 1, 2014 for corporate office space located in Lake Forest, California. The term of the lease is for three years. Base rent is $71,270 for the first year of the lease, $76,186 for the second year of the lease, and $81,100 for the third year of the lease.

 

In connection with our becoming the licensed operator of Friendship Haven through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, we have entered into a management agreement with an affiliate of Stonegate. The management agreement calls for us to pay to Stonegate a termination fee if we terminate the agreement within the first twelve months of the term. The termination fee is equal to three times the highest monthly management fee paid to Stonegate prior to the termination. As of September 30, 2014, the termination fee would be approximately $110,000.

 

15. Discontinued Operations

 

Divestitures

 

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant & Equipment, we report results of operations from real estate assets that meet the definition of a component of an entity that have been sold, or meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, as discontinued operations.

No real estate investments were disposed of in 2014.

 

Purchase Options

 

As of September 30, 2014, the Company owns one property with a book value of approximately $7.9 million that is subject to a third purchase option that became exercisable on September 14, 2014. The option provides the option holder with the right to purchase the property at increasing exercise price intervals based on elapsed time. The option expires August 13, 2022.

16. Segment Reporting

 

We operate in one reportable segment: healthcare. This segment consists of senior-housing facilities leased to healthcare operating companies under long-term “triple-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property-related expenses. We lease our healthcare properties to four different operators, two of which comprise over ten percent of our healthcare segment revenue. Friendship Haven is currently operated by our wholly-owned subsidiary (see Note 4). The Sherburne Commons property continues to be reported as held for sale (see Note 15) and the results of its operations have been reported in discontinued operations.

 

As part of our transition strategy, we sold the remaining industrial properties in 2013.  

 

17. Subsequent Events

 

On October 31, 2014, we acquired a 55 bed skilled nursing facility in Myrtle Point, Oregon (“Myrtle Point”) for $4.15 million. Myrtle Point is leased to an affiliate of Dakavia, the current operator of Myrtle Point, under a long-term triple net lease. The lease also includes an earn-out provision within the first 24 months of the lease term which would entitle the seller to an earn-out payment of up to $450,000. We acquired our interest in Myrtle Point subject to a loan secured by the property and cross-collateralized with two of our other properties, Juniper Village at Lamar and Juniper Village at Monte Vista. On October 31, 2014, we amended an existing loan agreement with The PrivateBank and Trust Company to increase the principal amount of the loan by $3.08 million collateralized by a security interest in three properties. This 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 October 30, 2017. This loan may be prepaid with no penalty if Myrtle Point is refinanced through a HUD insured loan.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. This section contains forward-looking statements, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part II, Item 1A herein and Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2014.

 

Overview

 

We were founded in October 2004 to invest and own commercial real estate. As of November 23, 2010 after raising $167.1 million of gross proceeds from the sale of 20.9 million shares of our common stock, we stopped selling shares of our common stock.  As of that date, we had acquired thirteen industrial properties, four of which were sold during 2011.  The balance of the industrial properties were sold in 2013 in accordance with the strategic repositioning plan adopted by our board of directors.  

 

In 2012 we acquired five healthcare related properties, in 2013 we acquired six healthcare related properties, and through September 30, 2014 we acquired another two healthcare related properties.  Our intermediate term goals include continuing to re-invest the net proceeds from industrial property sales into healthcare properties, as well as attracting 3rd party capital to grow the healthcare portfolio.

 

We believe that becoming self-managed will provide numerous intermediate and long term benefits, despite certain non-recurring transition costs and will allow us to realize increased funds from operations (“FFO”) and net asset value (“NAV”) in a shorter period of time than if we had remained externally managed.

 

Our revenues, which are comprised largely of rental income, include rents reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of each lease and fees earned for resident care at our Friendswood Facility (see Note 4). Our growth depends, in part, on our ability to acquire new healthcare properties at attractive prices, increase rental income from leases by increasing rental rates and control our expenses. Our operations are impacted by property-specific, market-specific, general economic and other conditions.

 

Repositioning Strategy - In June 2011, we began evaluating strategic options, including the repositioning of our assets that we believed could enhance shareholder value. The decision was made to liquidate our industrial assets and to redeploy capital into healthcare related properties.  The strategy has three phases:

 

§  Phase I – liquidate industrial assets. This phase was completed as of Q4 2013.

 

§  Phase II – redeploy capital into healthcare properties.  This phase is expected to be completed by the end of 2014.

 

23
 

 

§  Phase III – attract and venture with institutional third party capital to grow the healthcare portfolio and FFO.  This phase has commenced and is expected to continue into 2015.

 

Our repositioning strategy began with the sale of the industrial properties. The net property proceeds were used to de-lever our balance sheet by paying down and/or paying off certain short term higher interest-rate debt, renegotiating lower interest rates on other loan obligations, extending debt maturities and acquiring healthcare real estate properties including independent living facilities, skilled-nursing facilities (“SNF”), assisted living and memory care facilities, and other continuing care retirement communities. Each of these segments of the seniors housing industry caters to different segments of the elderly population.

At September 30, 2014, we own thirteen healthcare facilities, located in six states, consisting of six skilled nursing facilities and seven assisted living / memory care facilities. The following tables summarize our investments in real estate as of September 30, 2014:

  (1) Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP supplemental measure used to evaluate the operating performance of real estate properties. We define NOI as total rental revenues, resident service and fee income, tenant reimbursements and other income less property operating costs. NOI excludes interest income from notes receivable, general and administrative expense, asset management fees and expenses, real estate acquisition costs, depreciation and amortization, impairments, interest income, interest expense, and income from discontinued operations. We believe NOI provides investors relevant and useful information because it measures the operating performance of the REIT’s real estate at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess and compare property-level performance. We believe that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of operating performance to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP since it does not reflect the aforementioned excluded items. Additionally, NOI as we define it may not be comparable to NOI as defined by other REITs or companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI.

Rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income increases are due to the timing of our healthcare property acquisitions. We owned thirteen healthcare properties in the third quarter of 2014 as opposed to seven properties in the third quarter of 2013.

 

Resident services and fee income relates to a wholly-owned TRS becoming the licensed operator of the Friendswood Facility on May 1, 2014.

 

Property operating cost increases are due to the timing of our healthcare property acquisitions as well as the addition of the TRS operations. We owned thirteen healthcare properties in the third quarter of 2014 as opposed to seven properties in the third quarter of 2013.

 

General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the consolidated TRS operations offset by various cost savings.

 

Asset management fee and expense decreases are due to the termination of the Advisory Agreement in April 2014. Since then, we became self-managed and directly manage our own operations.

 

Real estate acquisition costs decreased in 2014 due to acquisition costs paid to the former advisor for the purchase of Aledo in the third quarter of 2013. Due to the termination of the former advisor in April 2014, we no longer pay acquisition fees for new property purchases.

 

Depreciation and amortization increases are due to the timing of our healthcare property acquisitions. We own thirteen healthcare properties in the third quarter of 2014 as opposed to seven properties in the third quarter of 2013.

 

Collection of excess advisor obligation represents organizational and offering costs incurred in excess of 3.5% limitation of the gross proceeds from our follow-on offering which terminated on June 10, 2012. We recorded a receivable for the excess of $1.0 million which we fully reserved for as of June 30, 2012 based on our evaluation of the former advisor’s inability to repay at that time. As of December 31, 2012, we reduced our reserve by approximately $0.1 million as it became probable that we would collect this amount in the first quarter of 2013. In the second quarter of 2013, we recovered $50,000 of previously reserved advisor fees. 

 

Interest and other expense and income increases in 2014 are primarily due to accelerated GE Loan’s deferred financing cost for Sheridan, Fern Hill, Pacific, and Farmington Square due to HUD-insured financing through Lancaster Pollard, in addition to the GE Loan and the The PrivateBank Loan for the healthcare properties and the timing of our healthcare property acquisitions. In the third quarter of 2013, we had one loan with GE and one loan with PB. In the third quarter of 2014, we have two loans from GE, one loan from Lancaster Pollard/HUD and three loans from The PrivateBank.

 

The gain from discontinued operations was $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2013 which consisted primarily of gain on sale of Shoemaker for $1.3 million offset by net loss from operations of remaining industrial properties.

Rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income increases are due to the timing of our healthcare property acquisitions. We own thirteen healthcare properties in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as opposed to seven properties in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Resident services and fee income relates to a wholly-owned TRS becoming the licensed operator of Friendswood on May 1, 2014.

 

Property operating cost increases are due to the timing of our healthcare property acquisitions as well as the addition of the TRS operations.

 

Interest income from notes receivable decrease is primarily due to collection of Servant’s note balance paid in full in May of 2014.

 

General and administrative expense of $2.9 million increased due to the consolidation of TRS operations offset by various cost savings for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Asset management fees and expense decreases are due to the termination of the Advisory Agreement in April 2014. Since then, we became self-managed and directly manage our own operations.

 

Real estate acquisition costs decreased in 2014 due to acquisition costs paid to the former advisor for the purchase of Danby House in the first quarter of 2013 and Aledo in the third quarter of 2013. Due to the termination of our former advisor in April 2014, we no longer pay acquisition fees for new property purchases.

 

Depreciation and amortization increases are due to the Friendswood Facility’s accelerated lease commission amortization caused by the lease termination and the timing of our healthcare property acquisitions.

 

Reserve for excess advisor obligation increase represents the amount we over reimbursed CRA for various operating expenses in the first quarter of 2014. Per the Advisory Agreement, the former advisor is required to repay to us these excess expense reimbursements. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the collectability of this receivable, we have reserved for the entire amount of the excess reimbursement. In the comparable period of 2013, we recovered $100,000 of previously reserved for advisor fees.

Interest and other expense and income increases in 2014 are primarily due to accelerated GE Loan’s deferred financing cost for Sheridan, Fern Hill, Pacific, and Farmington Square due to HUD-insured financing through Lancaster Pollard, in addition to the GE Loan and the PrivateBank Loan for the healthcare properties and the timing of our healthcare property acquisitions. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had two loans with GE and one loan with The PrivateBank. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we have two loans from GE, one loan from Lancaster Pollard/HUD and three loans with The PrivateBank.

 

The income from discontinued operations was $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 which consisted primarily of gain on sale of Western for $4.1 million, Marathon of $33,000, Shoemaker of $0.5 million and Santa Fe of $0.8 million offset by impairment of real estate on the OSB portfolio for $3.4 million.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are currently not offering our shares of common stock for sale and have not done so since the termination of our follow-on offering in June 2012. Going forward, we expect our primary sources of cash to be rental revenues and tenant reimbursements. In addition, we may increase cash through the attracting institutional capital via portfolio or property level joint ventures, or through the sale of our VIE. We expect our primary uses of cash to be for the repayment of principal on notes payable, funding of future acquisitions, capital expenditures, operating expenses and interest expense on outstanding indebtedness.

 

As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $6.1 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand. Our liquidity will increase if cash from operations exceeds expenses, additional shares are offered, we receive net proceeds from the sale of a property or if refinancing results in excess loan proceeds and decrease as proceeds are expended in connection with the acquisitions, operation of properties and advances to our VIE. Based on current conditions, we believe that we have sufficient capital resources for the next twelve months.

 

Credit Facilities and Loan Agreements

 

As of September 30, 2014, we had debt obligations of approximately $61.1 million. The outstanding balance by loan agreement is as follows: 

 

  The PrivateBank and Trust Company – approximately $7.3 million maturing January 2016,

 

  The PrivateBank and Trust Company – approximately $11.4 million maturing October 2016,

 

  General Electric Capital Corporation – approximately $6.4 million maturing September 2017, and

 

General Electric Capital Corporation – approximately $5.8 million maturing July 2018

 

Lancaster Pollard Mortgage Company LLC – approximately $17.3 million maturing September 2039 & approximately $6.9 million maturing September 2049

 

The PrivateBank and Trust Company – approximately $6.0 million maturing September 2017

 

Short-Term Liquidity Requirements

 

We expect to incur expenditures for future healthcare acquisitions, debt refinancing fees, capital improvements and other costs associated with the operation of Friendship Haven.

 

We believe that the HUD refinancing of four of our properties, as well as recently submitted HUD financing applications for three additional properties will be adequate to mitigate intermediate-term repayment/refinance risk.

 

In recent years, financial markets have experienced unusual volatility and uncertainty and liquidity has tightened in all financial markets, including the debt and equity markets. Our ability to repay or refinance debt could be adversely affected by an inability to secure financing at reasonable terms, if at all.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

 

FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We compute FFO in accordance with the definition outlined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation, amortization and impairments on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, noncontrolling interests and subsidiaries.

 

Our FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. We believe that FFO is helpful to investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared period to period, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance. Factors that impact FFO include start-up costs, fixed costs, delays in buying assets, lower yields on cash held in accounts pending investment, income from portfolio properties and other portfolio assets, interest rates on acquisition financing and operating expenses. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), as an indication of our performance, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.

 

Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP have prompted a significant increase in the amount of non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO, as defined. Therefore, we use modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), which excludes from FFO real estate acquisition costs, amortization of above- or below-market rents, and non-cash amounts related to straight-line rents to further evaluate our operating performance. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition suggested by the Investment Program Association (the “IPA”), the trade association for direct investment programs (including non-traded REITs). However, certain adjustments included in the IPA’s definition are not applicable to us and are therefore not included in the foregoing definition.

 

We believe that MFFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities or non-operating changes. Accordingly, we believe that MFFO can be a useful metric to assist management, investors and analysts in assessing the sustainability of our operating performance. As explained below, management’s evaluation of our operating performance excludes these items in the calculation based on the following considerations:

 

  · Real estate acquisition costs. In evaluating investments in real estate, including both business combinations and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, management’s investment models and analyses differentiate costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. These acquisition costs have been funded from the proceeds of our initial public offering and other financing sources and not from operations. We believe that by excluding acquisition costs, MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of our real estate investments and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Real estate acquisitions costs include those paid to CRA and to third parties.

 

  · Adjustments for amortization of above or below market rents. Similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of lease assets diminishes predictably over time and that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since real estate values and market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the operating performance of our real estate.

  

29
 

 

  · Adjustments for straight-line rents. Under GAAP, rental income recognition can be significantly different from underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the economic impact of our lease terms and presents results in a manner more consistent with management’s analysis of our operating performance.

   

  · Amortization of deferred financing costs. Deferred financing costs primarily consist of origination fees and third party costs associated with the origination of property level debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the associated loan as a component of interest expense.

 

  · Reserve for (collection of) excess advisor obligation. Reserve for excess advisor obligation represents the reserve recorded for amounts due to the Company from CRA, the former advisor, for over reimbursement of expenses.

 

FFO and MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or as an indication of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Both FFO and MFFO should be reviewed along with other GAAP measurements. Our FFO and MFFO, as presented, may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs. The following is reconciliation from net income (loss) applicable to common shares, the most direct comparable financial measure calculated and presented with GAAP, to FFO and MFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund the acquisition, expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our profitability and the value of our investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes. We invest our cash and cash equivalents in government-backed securities and FDIC-insured savings accounts which, by their nature, are subject to interest rate fluctuations. However, we believe that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk related to our variable-rate loan agreements.

 

As of September 30, 2014, we had borrowings outstanding of $36.9 million under our variable-rate loan agreements. An increase in the variable interest rate on the loan agreement constitutes a market risk as a change in rates would increase or decrease interest expense incurred and therefore cash flows available for distribution to shareholders. Based on the debt outstanding as of September 30, 2014, a one percent (1%) change in interest rates related to the variable-rate debt would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $369,000 per year, or $0.02 per common share on a basic and diluted basis.

 

In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in the real estate capital markets, market rental rates for office space, local, regional and national economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of tenants. All of these factors may also affect our ability to refinance our debt, if necessary.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our senior management, including our President (Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our President (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On April 1, 2014 CRA and Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange-Central Justice Center, Case No. 30-2014-00714004-CU-BT-CJC, naming the Company, its directors and two of its officers as defendants, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages. On April 17, 2014, Judge Nakamura denied in its entirety plaintiffs’ ex parte application for a temporary restraining order to show cause why a preliminary injunction against the defendants should not issue.  On May 19, 2014, the Company filed a counter claim against plaintiffs and certain individuals affiliated with CRA and affiliated entities. The Company continues to believe that all of plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend itself.  Plaintiffs and defendants are conducting discovery.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The following risk factors supplement the risks disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

  

Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors

 

This section discusses the most significant factors that affect our business, operations and financial condition. It does not describe all risks and uncertainties applicable to us, our industry or ownership of our securities. If any of the following risks, as well as other risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified or that we currently think are not material, actually occur, we could be materially adversely affected. In that event, the value of our securities could decline.

 

This Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated by reference contain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those regarding:

 

  · the continuing repositioning and expansion of our portfolio, including our ability to close our anticipated acquisitions and investments on currently anticipated terms, or within currently anticipated timeframes, or at all;

  

  · the performance of our operators/tenants and properties;

 

  · our occupancy rates and the bed occupancy rates of our healthcare operators;

 

  · our ability to acquire, develop and/or manage properties;

When we use words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "project," "estimate," “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Our expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. This may be a result of various factors, including, but not limited to:

 

  · the status of the economy;

 

  · the status of capital markets, including availability and cost of capital;

 

32
 

 

  · issues facing the health care industry, including the evolution of healthcare reform and changes to regulations and payment policies, responding to government investigations and punitive settlements and operators'/tenants' difficulty in cost-effectively obtaining and maintaining adequate liability and other insurance;

 

  · changes in financing terms;

  

  · competition within the senior housing segment of the healthcare industry;

 

  · negative developments in the operating results or financial condition of operators/tenants, including, but not limited to, their ability to pay rent, repay loans, and preserve required certificates of need covering the properties;

 

  · our ability to transition or sell facilities with profitable results;

 

  · the failure to make new investments as and when anticipated;

 

  · acts of God affecting our properties;

  · liability or contract claims by or against operators/tenants and;

 

  · unanticipated difficulties and/or expenditures

 

We may not be successful in self-managing our business.

 

On March 17, 2014, we terminated our Advisory Agreement with CRA. Since that date, we have hired as employees certain personnel who had previously worked for CRA, signed a lease and begun operations as a self-managed REIT.  We have previously been dependent on CRA for all services related to our operations, including the purchase, financing, leasing, management and sale of our properties.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully operate our business as a self-managed REIT and pursue our business plan.  If we are not successful, we may need to hire a third party as an advisor or otherwise curtail our operations, both of which could adversely affect our business and have an adverse impact on shareholder value. 

 

Our properties expose us to various operational risks, liabilities and claims that could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues or increase our costs and could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

On May 1, 2014, a subsidiary of ours became the licensed operator of the Friendswood Facility, a skilled nursing facility in Friendswood, Texas. The subsidiary becoming the operator of this property exposes us to new operational risks, liabilities and claims that could increase our costs or adversely affect our ability to generate revenues, thereby reducing our profitability. These operational risks include fluctuations in occupancy levels, the inability to achieve economic resident fees (including anticipated increases in those fees), increased cost of compliance, increases in the cost of food, materials, energy, labor (as a result of unionization or otherwise) or other services, national and regional economic conditions, the imposition of new or increased taxes, capital expenditure requirements, professional and general liability claims, and the availability and cost of professional and general liability insurance. Any one or a combination of these factors could result in operating deficiencies in our operations and decreases in cash flow, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
