NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2015

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Summit Healthcare REIT, Inc. (“Summit”) is a real estate investment trust that owns 11 properties and has a 10% equity interest in an investment that holds six properties. Summit is a Maryland corporation, 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 these notes, 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 hired employees to directly manage its operations.

 

Generally we conduct substantially all of our operations through Summit Healthcare Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), which is a Delaware limited partnership. At June 30, 2015, we own a 99.88% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership, and 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 was classified as held for sale until January 7, 2015, at which time the VIE was sold (see Note 6).

 

Cornerstone Healthcare Partners LLC

 

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.

 

During 2012, we acquired the following healthcare properties through CHP LLC (collectively, the “JV Properties”): Sheridan Care Center, Fernhill Care Center, Farmington Square, Friendship Haven Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center (“Friendship Haven”) and Pacific Health and Rehabilitation Center. In the third quarter of 2013, CHP LLC sold a portion of its interests in the JV Properties to third party investors. Proceeds from the sale of interests in these JV Properties were approximately $0.9 million and were received in January 2014, of which we received $0.9 million and CHREF received $41,000. As of June 30, 2015, we owned an 89.0% interest in the JV Properties, CHREF owned a 4.7% interest and third party investors owned 6.3%.

 

Friendswood TRS

 

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

 

Summit Union Life Holdings, LLC

 

On April 29, 2015, through our Operating Partnership, we entered into a limited liability company agreement (“LLC Agreement”) with Best Years, LLC (“Best Years”), an unrelated entity and a U.S.-based affiliate of Union Life Insurance Co, Ltd. (“Union Life”), and formed Summit Union Life Holdings, LLC (“SUL JV” or “Joint Venture” or “JV 2”).

 

7
 

  

In conjunction with the SUL JV, the Operating Partnership contributed all of its limited liability company interest in each of six limited liability companies that collectively own Lamar Estates, Monte Vista Estates, Myrtle Point Care Center, Gateway Care and Retirement Center, Applewood Retirement Community and Loving Arms Assisted Living (collectively, the “JV 2 Properties”) to the SUL JV, resulting in the SUL JV owning each of the JV 2 Properties. Best Years, in conjunction with the SUL JV, contributed cash in the amount of approximately $9.9 million to the SUL JV of which we received a net amount of $9.2 million after paying down the Loving Arms Assisted Living loan payable of $715,000 (see Note 8). Under the LLC Agreement, as a result of these contributions and cash distributions, the Operating Partnership and Best Years own a 10% and 90% equity interest in the SUL JV, respectively. The Operating Partnership recorded a distribution receivable for approximately $362,000 for distributions that could not be paid prior to the contribution of the JV 2 properties due to cash restrictions related to the loans payable for the contributed JV 2 Properties. The distribution receivable is included in tenant and other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

As a result of the SUL JV, the JV 2 Properties are no longer consolidated in the Company’s financial results, commencing April 30, 2015. The SUL JV is accounted for under the equity-method in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (see Note 11). We recorded a partial gain of approximately $1.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 related to the disposition of these properties (see Note 10).

 

Summit Healthcare Asset Management, LLC (TRS)

 

Additionally, as part of the SUL JV, we formed Summit Healthcare Asset Management, LLC (the “Management Company”) as a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS). We serve as the manager of the SUL JV and provide various services in exchange for fees and reimbursements. All acquisition fees and management fees will be paid to the Management Company and expenses incurred by us, as the manager, will be reimbursed from the Management Company. Under the LLC Agreement, Best Years paid the Management Company a one-time acquisition fee equal to 1% of the original purchase price paid for the JV 2 Properties, approximately $405,000. Annual asset management fees to be paid by the SUL JV to the Management Company are equal to 0.25% of the original purchase price paid for the JV 2 Properties.

 

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, 2014 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 20, 2015. There have been no material changes to our policies since that filing, except as disclosed herein.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 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, 2014 consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 20, 2015 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, 2014 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 VIE through January 7, 2015 (see Note 6). 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 six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

Equity-Method Investment

 

We report our investment in an unconsolidated entity, over whose operating and financial policies we have the ability to exercise significant influence but not control, under the equity method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, our pro rata share of the entity’s earnings or losses is included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, we adjust our investment carrying amount to reflect our share of changes in an equity-method investee’s capital resulting from its capital transactions.

 

The initial carrying value of our equity-method investment in the SUL JV is based on the carrying value of the net assets of the JV 2 Properties at the time of contribution.

 

We evaluate our equity-method investment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our investment may exceed the fair value. If it is determined that a decline in the fair value of our investment is not temporary, and if such reduced fair value is below its carrying value, an impairment is recorded. Determining fair value involves significant judgment. Our estimates consider all available evidence including the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at market rates, general economic conditions and other relevant factors.

  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU.

 

For public business entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.

 

Early adoption of the amendments is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued.

 

The amendments should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Upon transition, an entity is required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in an accounting principle. These disclosures include the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted, and the effect of the change on the financial statement line items (i.e., debt issuance cost asset and the debt liability). The Company has evaluated the impact of this new standard and does not expect it to have a significant effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements, when adopted.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Based on the intended use of the restricted cash, we have classified changes in restricted cash within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as investing activities and the prior year presentation has been revised to conform to this classification. These reclassifications had no effect on total consolidated assets or net loss. 

 

3. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

 

Our condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, notes receivable (except as noted below), certain other assets, deferred costs and deposits, tenant and other receivables, deferred leasing commissions, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, security deposits and loans payable. With the exception of the Nantucket note receivable (see Note 6) and loans 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.

 

9
 

  

As of June 30, 2015, the fair value of the Nantucket note receivable (see Note 6) was $4.9 million compared to the carrying value of $4.7 million. The fair value of the note receivable was estimated based on cash flow analysis at an assumed market rate of interest. As the inputs to our valuation estimate are neither observable in nor supported by market activity, our notes receivable are classified as Level 3 assets within the fair value hierarchy.

 

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of loans payable was $59.9 million and $80.1 million compared to the gross carrying value of $58.7 million and $78.8 million, respectively. The fair value of loans payable is estimated using lending rates available to us for financial instruments with similar terms and maturities. To estimate fair value as of June 30, 2015, we utilized discount rates ranging from 4.4% to 4.75% and a weighted average discount rate of 4.62%. As the inputs to our valuation estimate are neither observable in nor supported by market activity, our loans payable are classified as Level 3 assets within the fair value hierarchy.

 

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 six months ended June 30, 2015. 

 

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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.

 

4. Investments in Real Estate Properties

Future Minimum Lease Payments

 

The future minimum lease payments to be received under existing operating leases for the properties owned as of June 30, 2015 for the period from July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 and for each of the four following years and thereafter are as follows:

 

Year      
July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015   $ 3,686,000  
2016     7,498,000  
2017     7,669,000  
2018     7,844,000  
2019 and thereafter     66,729,000  
    $ 93,426,000  

 

The schedule does not reflect future rental revenues from the potential renewal or replacement of existing and future leases, includes the rental revenues for the tenant of Friendship Haven and excludes tenant reimbursements.

  

Friendswood TRS

 

Beginning in January 2014, the tenant/operator of 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 Friendswood 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 manager until a long-term lease agreement can be secured.

   

Leasing Commissions

 

Leasing commissions (paid to CRA prior to April 1, 2014) are capitalized at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, total costs incurred were $2.2 million and the unamortized balance of capitalized leasing commissions was $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively. In March 2014, 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 June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $41,000 and $40,000, respectively. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $81,000 and $449,000, respectively.

Acquisitions – 2015

 

Loving Arms Assisted Living

 

On January 23, 2015, we acquired an 84-bed assisted living facility in Front Royal, Virginia (“Loving Arms”) for a total purchase price of $14.3 million, which was funded through cash on hand plus a collateralized loan as described in Note 8. Loving Arms is leased to an affiliate of Meridian Senior Living, LLC under a 15-year triple net lease.

 

The following sets forth the allocation of the purchase price of the property acquired in 2015 as well as the associated acquisitions costs, all of which have been capitalized.  We have accounted for the acquisition as an asset purchase under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

 

   Total 
Land  $500,000 
Buildings & improvements   12,707,000 
Site improvements   540,000 
Furniture & fixtures   760,000 
Real estate acquisition and capitalized costs  $14,507,000 
Third-party acquisition costs, capitalized (included above)  $207,000 

 

Loving Arms was contributed to the SUL JV in April 2015. See Note 11.

 

5. Concentration of Risk

 

Our cash is generally invested in investment-grade short-term instruments. As of June 30, 2015, 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 June 30, 2015, we owned one property in California, four properties in Oregon, four properties in North Carolina, one property in Texas and one property in Illinois. Accordingly, there is a geographic concentration of risk subject to economic conditions in certain states. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we leased our 11 healthcare properties to five different tenants under long-term triple net leases, two of which comprise 49% and 29% of our tenant rental revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we leased our 11 healthcare properties to five different tenants under long-term triple net leases, two of which comprise 50% and 29% of our tenant rental revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we leased our 11 healthcare properties to five different tenants under long-term triple net leases, two of which comprise 49% and 29% of our tenant rental revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we leased our 11 healthcare properties to five different tenants under long-term triple net leases, two of which comprise 48% and 28% of our tenant rental revenue.

 

6. Notes Receivable

 

Servant Healthcare Investments, LLC

 

The Servant Healthcare Investments, LLC note was paid in full on May 2, 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, interest income related to the note receivable was $0. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, interest income related to the note receivable was $0 and $4,000, respectively.

 

Fernhill Note

 

In September 2014, the Company loaned to the operator of the Fernhill facility approximately $140,000 for certain capital expenditures. The note provides for interest at a fixed rate of 6% and is payable in monthly installments through January 2019. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the balance on the note was approximately $0.1 million.

Nantucket Note - Consolidation and Sale of VIE

 

We held a note receivable from a 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, which was collateralized by Sherburne Commons. 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 were classified as assets of a VIE held for sale and liabilities of a VIE held for sale 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. On October 6, 2014, we foreclosed on the Sherburne Commons property, however we did not take possession of the property.

 

On January 7, 2015, through our Operating Partnership, we sold Sherburne Commons to The Residences at Sherburne Commons, Inc. (“Sherburne Buyer”), an unaffiliated Massachusetts non-profit corporation, in exchange for $5.0 million, as evidenced by a purchase money note from Sherburne Buyer to us as the lender. In conjunction with the sale of the property, we assigned our foreclosure bid to the Buyer.

 

The $5.0 million purchase money note is collateralized by the Sherburne Commons property, bears an annual interest rate of 3.5% and matures on December 31, 2017. At Sherburne Buyer’s election, interest may accrue and not be payable through December 31, 2015 with all accrued but unpaid interest being payable in full on January 1, 2016. Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $43,000 and $83,000, respectively, has been fully reserved and will be recognized as cash is received. Outstanding and unpaid principal and interest due shall be paid from the net proceeds payable to Sherburne Buyer from the sale of the residential cottages in Sherburne Commons. We may also participate in additional interest of up to $1 million from 50% of the net proceeds of cottage sales through December 31, 2018.

 

As of June 30, 2015, we have not collected any funds related to the principal or interest on the note and the outstanding balance on the note receivable was $4.7 million.

 

As we are no longer the primary beneficiary of the VIE, it is no longer being consolidated as of June 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, the VIE was classified as assets of a VIE held for sale and liabilities of a VIE held for sale and as of June 30, 2014, the results of operations for the VIE held for sale was presented in discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a loss on disposition of $1.6 million for this VIE, which is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

7. Related Party Transactions

 

CRA

 

Related party transactions relate to fees paid and costs reimbursed to CRA for services rendered to us through March 31, 2014, prior to the termination of the Advisory Agreement on April 1, 2014.

 

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. The fees and expense reimbursements payable to CRA under the Advisory Agreement are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 20, 2015.

 

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.

 

13
 

  

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the gross balance of this receivable was $0.7 million. CRA has not made any payments in 2014 or 2015. The balance of this receivable has been fully reserved for as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

Acquisition Fees and Expenses - No acquisition fees were earned by CRA during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

Management Fees and Expenses - For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, CRA earned $0 of asset management fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, CRA earned $0 and $0.2 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 to 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 June 30, 2015 and 2014, CRA was reimbursed $0 of such direct and indirect costs and expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, CRA was reimbursed $0 and $36,000 of such direct and indirect costs and expenses. These costs are included in asset management fees in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

As of March 2014, we overpaid CRA $32,000 for asset management fees. We have recorded this amount as receivable from related party in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and reserved for the entire amount due to the uncertainty of collectability.

 

Operating Expenses - For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, no operating expenses incurred on our behalf were reimbursed to CRA. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we reimbursed $0 million and $0.2 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. We 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”).

 

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 June 30, 2015 and 2014, CRA earned no property management fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, CRA earned approximately $0 and $42,000, respectively, of property management fees. CRA did not earn any leasing fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. These costs are included in property operating and maintenance expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Disposition Fee – No disposition fees were earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. 

 

Subordinated Participation Provisions – No subordinated participation fees were earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

8. Loans Payable

 

In April 2015, we formed the SUL JV with Best Years and contributed the JV 2 Properties to the SUL JV: Lamar Estates, Monte Vista Estates, Myrtle Point Care Center, Gateway Care and Retirement Center, Applewood Retirement Community, and Loving Arms. Approximately $30 million of loans payable were transferred to the SUL JV upon disposition of the properties. See Notes 10 and 11 for further information regarding the disposition of real estate properties.

The unamortized balance of the deferred financing costs totaled $1.3 million and $1.5 million, as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The capitalized financing costs and debt discounts are being amortized over the life of their respective financing agreements using the straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest rate method. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, $56,000 and $47,000, respectively, of deferred financing costs and debt discounts were amortized and included in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, $130,000 and $94,000, respectively, of deferred financing costs and debt discounts were amortized and included in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE”)

 

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had net borrowings of $15.0 million and $25.6 million, respectively, under the GE loan agreements. See table above for further information. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the GE loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred approximately $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the GE loans.

 

The PrivateBank and Trust Company (“PrivateBank”)

 

In January 2015, in conjunction with the acquisition of Loving Arms Assisted Living (see Note 4), we entered into a first priority mortgage loan collateralized by the Loving Arms Assisted Living property and cross-collateralized with three of our other properties, Lamar Estates, Monte Vista Estates and Myrtle Point. On January 23, 2015, we amended an existing loan agreement with PrivateBank to increase the principal amount available under that existing loan by $11.4 million for a total principal availability of $20.5 million collateralized by a first priority security interest in the four properties noted above. All availability under this loan is outstanding. 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 four properties are refinanced through HUD (see below).  In April 2015, in conjunction with the funds received from the SUL JV, $715,000 was paid to reduce the PrivateBank loan balance for Loving Arms Assisted Living.

 

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had net borrowings of $7.3 million and $16.4 million, respectively, under the PrivateBank loans. See table above for further information. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million of interest expense, respectively, related to the PrivateBank loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million of interest expense, respectively, related to the PrivateBank loans.

 

Lancaster Pollard Mortgage Company, LLC

 

In September 2014 and November 2014, we refinanced certain properties with Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) insured loans from the Lancaster Pollard Mortgage Company, LLC (“Lancaster Pollard”). See table above for further information.

 

HUD requires that our lender hold certain reserves for property tax, insurance and capital expenditures. These reserves are included in restricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had net borrowings of $36.4 million and $36.8 million under the HUD loans. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred approximately $0.4 million of interest expense related to the HUD loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred approximately $0.8 million of interest expense related to the HUD loans.

 

9. Commitments and Contingencies

 

We inspect 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 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.

 

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 before May 1, 2015. The termination fee is equal to three times the highest monthly management fee paid to Stonegate prior to the termination. As the agreement with them was not terminated before May 1, 2015, no fee will be due.

 

Purchase Option

 

As of June 30, 2015, we own one property with a book value of approximately $7.8 million that is subject to a 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, starting at $10.8 million. The option expires August 13, 2022. As of June 30, 2015, the option holder has not provided notice or exercised their option.

 

Purchase Agreement

 

In November 2013, a limited liability company in which we hold a minority interest entered into a build-to-suit purchase agreement whereby the entity agreed to purchase a 70-unit assisted living facility in Athens, Georgia for approximately $12.4 million upon receipt of certificate of occupancy. In the event the entity defaults on the purchase of the building as provided for in the purchase agreement, the entity would be required to lease the facility from the seller for a ten year term at an annual rent amount equal to 8% of the cost of the facility. The Company executed a guarantee for the payments associated with that lease. In the event that the lease is executed, the lease payment will equal approximately $1.0 million per year.

 

Indemnification Agreements

 

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with certain officers and directors of the Company against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any proceeding.

 

Management of the SUL JV

 

As the manager of the SUL JV, we are responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the Joint Venture and are, thus, subject to contingencies that may arise in the normal course of the SUL JV’s operations.

 

10. Dispositions

  

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.

 

Real Estate Held for Sale and Disposed

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Sherburne Commons property had been classified as real estate held for sale and the results of operations for the VIE held for sale have been presented in discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. On January 7, 2015, we sold the Sherburne Commons property. See Note 6 for further information.

Disposal of real estate

 

In April 2015, we formed the SUL JV with Best Years and contributed the JV 2 Properties to the SUL JV (see Notes 1 and 11). For additional information on the SUL JV, see the Company’s Form 8-K filed on May 1, 2015.

 

The transaction had the following effect to reduce our consolidated assets and liabilities:

 

Real estate properties  $(40,391,000)
Other assets   (832,000)
Loans payable, net   30,133,000 
Other liabilities   1,182,000 
Total contribution:  $9,908,000 

 

We recorded a partial gain of approximately $1.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 related to the disposition of the real estate properties contributed to the SUL JV.

 

18
 

 

11. Equity-Method Investment

 

In April 2015, we formed the SUL JV, which is owned 10% by the Operating Partnership and 90% by Best Years. The SUL JV will continue until an event of dissolution occurs, as defined in the LLC Agreement. We account for our investment using the equity method as we have greater than 3% to 5% ownership interest and significant influence over the SUL JV.

 

Under the LLC Agreement, net operating cash flow of the SUL JV will be distributed quarterly, first to the Operating Partnership and Best Years pari passu up to a 10% annual return, and thereafter to Best Years 75% and the Operating Partnership 25%. All capital proceeds (from the sale of the JV 2 Properties, refinancing, or other capital event) will be paid first to the Operating Partnership and Best Years pari passu until each has received an amount equal to its accrued but unpaid 10% return plus its total contribution, and thereafter to Best Years 75% and the Operating Partnership 25%. As of June 30, 2015, the Operating Partnership has recorded a distribution receivable of approximately $59,000. This is included in tenant and other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

We serve as the manager of the SUL JV and provide various services in exchange for fees and reimbursements. Under the LLC agreement, the manager will be paid a 1% acquisition fee based on the purchase price paid for the properties and an annual asset management fee equal to 0.25% of the purchase price paid for the properties. Total asset management fees earned in connection with the SUL JV were approximately $17,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and are included in acquisition and asset management fees in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Our initial equity method investment was approximately $1.0 million. The difference between our initial equity method investment and our equity in the SUL JV ($1.1 million, as agreed upon by the members of the SUL JV) was approximately $0.1 million, which will be amortized over the life of the contributed properties. As of June 30, 2015, the balance of our equity method investment was approximately $0.9 million.

 

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 unaudited consolidated 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 I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 20, 2015.

 

Overview

 

We were founded as a REIT to invest and own commercial real estate. As of June 30, 2015, we own 11 properties and have a 10% equity interest in an investment that holds six properties. As used in this report, the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Summit Health Core REIT, Inc. and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (including variable interest entities) except where the context otherwise requires.

 

We believe that becoming self-managed as of April 1, 2014 has provided us 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 are comprised largely of rental income, including rents reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of each lease and fees earned for resident care from Friendship Haven (see Note 4 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). 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 by controlling our expenses. Our operations are impacted by property-specific, market-specific, general economic and other conditions.

In 2013, we completed phase one of our transition strategy by disposing of our industrial real estate properties. We completed phase two of our transition strategy in early 2015 by deploying the proceeds that we received from the sale of the industrial properties into senior housing real estate properties. We believe that investing in senior housing facilities is accretive to earnings and stockholder value. Senior housing facilities include independent living facilities (“IL”), skilled-nursing facilities (“SNF”), assisted living facilities (“AL”), memory care (“MC”) and continuing care retirement communities (“CCRC”). Each of these types of facilities caters to different segments of the senior population. The Company’s repositioning strategy includes purchasing SNF, AL, IL and MC facilities.

 

The third phase of our transition strategy is to grow our senior housing portfolio primarily by attracting and securing institutional third party capital.

 

On April 29, 2015, through Summit Healthcare Operating Partnership, L.P. (our “Operating Partnership”), we entered into a limited liability company agreement (“LLC Agreement”) with Best Years, LLC (“Best Years”), an unrelated entity and a U.S.-based affiliate of Union Life Insurance Co, Ltd. (“Union Life”) and formed Summit Union Life Holdings, LLC (“SUL JV” or “Joint Venture” or “JV 2”).

 

In conjunction with the SUL JV, the Operating Partnership contributed all of its limited liability company interest in each of six limited liability companies that collectively own Lamar Estates, Monte Vista Estates, Myrtle Point Care Center, Gateway Care and Retirement Center, Applewood Retirement Community and Loving Arms Assisted Living (collectively, the “JV 2 Properties”) to the SUL JV entity, resulting in the SUL JV owning each of the JV 2 Properties. Best Years, in conjunction with the SUL JV, contributed cash in the amount of approximately $9.9 million to the SUL JV, of which we received a net amount of $9.2 million after paying down the Loving Arms loan payable of $715,000 (see Note 9 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Under the LLC Agreement, as a result of these contributions and cash distributions, the Operating Partnership and Best Years own a 10% and 90% equity interest in the SUL JV, respectively. In keeping with our phase three goal and our overall strategy, we intend to use the $9.2 million in proceeds received from the SUL JV to acquire additional healthcare properties and potentially grow the SUL JV portfolio.

 

As a result of the SUL JV, the six JV 2 Properties are no longer consolidated in the Company’s financial results, commencing April 30, 2015. The SUL JV is accounted for under the equity-method in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (see Note 11 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Additionally, as part of the SUL JV, we formed Summit Healthcare Asset Management, LLC (the “Management Company”) as a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS).   All acquisition fees and management fees will be paid to the Management Company and expenses incurred in the management of SUL JV will be reimbursed from the Management Company.

 

The SUL JV transaction had the following effect to reduce our assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2015:

 

Real estate properties  $(40,391,000)
Other assets   (832,000)
Loans payable, net   30,133,000 
Other liabilities   1,182,000 
Total contribution:  $9,908,000 

  

We may acquire additional properties through joint venture investments in the future, or sell a percentage of our existing properties to a joint venture partner, which may result in the deconsolidation of properties we already own. We anticipate acquiring properties through joint ventures in order to diversify our portfolio of properties in terms of geographic region, facility type and operator, among other reasons. Joint ventures typically also allow us to acquire an interest in a property without requiring that we fund the entire equity portion of the purchase price. In addition, certain properties may be available to us only through joint ventures. In determining whether to recommend a particular joint venture, management will evaluate the structure of the joint venture, the real property that such joint venture owns or is being formed to own under the same criteria. We may form additional entities in conjunction with joint ventures. These entities may employ debt financing consistent with our borrowing policies. Our joint ventures may take the form of equity joint ventures with one or more large institutional partners. They may also include ventures with developers who contribute land, development services and expertise rather than cash.

Results of Operations

 

Our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 were significantly impacted as described below:

Net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders  $541,000   $(881,000)  $1,422,000 

  

(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 and resident services costs. NOI excludes interest income from notes receivable, general and administrative expense, acquisition and asset management fees, depreciation and amortization, other income, income from equity-method investee, interest expense, gain on disposition of real estate, and loss 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.

 

Total rental revenue for our healthcare properties includes rental revenues and tenant paid and/or reimbursements for property taxes and insurance. Property operating expenses include insurance, property taxes and other operating expenses. Net operating income increased to approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of approximately $0.6 million. Approximately $0.4 million of the increase is due to the revenue derived from our 2015 acquisition and owning the 2014 acquisitions purchased in the third and fourth quarters of 2014 for one month during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

 

The increase in the acquisition and asset management fees of approximately $0.4 million is due to the fees received from the SUL JV.

 

Resident services and fee income and resident services costs are generated from Friendswood TRS. The Friendswood TRS financials have been consolidated beginning on May 1, 2014 and therefore includes two months of activities for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as opposed to three months for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

 

General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was comparable to the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

22
 

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2015 due to the timing of our 2014 property acquisitions. We owned 17 healthcare properties for one month in the second quarter of 2015 as opposed to 11 properties in the second quarter of 2014. The total increase is offset by the contribution of six properties to SUL JV in late April 2015.

 

Income from equity-method investee represents the income for the second quarter of 2015 related to the SUL JV.

 

Interest expense increases in 2015 are primarily due to the increase in interest expense on our new loans payable for properties acquired at the end of 2014, slightly offset by our contribution of the six properties to the SUL JV.

 

The decrease in other income is due to collection of the Servant Note in 2014.

 

In April 2015, as a result of the disposition of the JV 2 Properties contributed to the SUL JV, we recorded a partial gain on disposition of approximately $1.0 million related to the disposition of these properties (see Note 10 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

The loss from discontinued operations represents the Sherburne Commons activities in 2014. On January 7, 2015, we sold Sherburne Commons (see Note 10 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Total rental revenue for our healthcare properties includes rental revenues and tenant paid and/or reimbursements for property taxes and insurance. Property operating expenses include insurance, property taxes and other operating expenses. Net operating income increased to approximately $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of approximately $1.9 million. Approximately $1.4 million of the increase is due to the revenue derived from our 2015 healthcare acquisition and owning the 2014 acquisitions purchased in the third and fourth quarters of 2014 for four months during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

The increase in the acquisition and asset management fees of approximately $0.4 million is due to the fees received from the SUL JV.

 

Resident services and fee income and resident services costs are generated from Friendswood TRS. The Friendswood TRS financials were consolidated on May 1, 2014 and therefore includes two months of activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as opposed to six months for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

General and administrative expense was $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to increases in employee payroll expenses of $0.7 million, offset by lower advisor fees of $0.2 million and consulting fees of $0.2 million.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to the timing of our 2014 property acquisitions. We owned 17 healthcare properties for the four months in the first half of 2015 as opposed to 11 properties in the first half of 2014. The increase is offset by the contribution of six properties to the SUL JV.

 

Reserve for excess advisor obligation represents organizational and offering costs incurred in excess of the 3.5% limitation of the gross proceeds from our follow-on offering which terminated on June 10, 2012 (see Note 7 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The Advisory Agreement provided that CRA would reimburse any excess costs that were paid by us. In 2012, we recorded a receivable for the excess of $1.0 million which we fully reserved for based on our evaluation of CRA’s ability to repay at that time. In March 2014, we increased our reserve by $0.2 million for additional excess operating expenses paid to CRA in prior periods.

 

Income from equity-method investee represents the income for the first half of 2015 related to the SUL JV.

 

Interest expense increases in 2015 are primarily due to the increase in interest expense on our new loans payable for properties acquired at the end of 2014, slightly offset by our contribution of six properties to the SUL JV.

 

Other income decreased due to the collection of the Servant Note in 2014.

 

In April 2015, as a result of the disposition of the JV 2 Properties contributed to the SUL JV, we recorded a partial gain on disposition of approximately $1.0 million related to the disposition of these properties (see Note 10 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

The loss from discontinued operations represents the Sherburne Commons activities in 2014. On January 7, 2015, we sold Sherburne Commons (see Note 10 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and recorded a loss on disposition of $1.6 million.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $10.4 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand. Based on current conditions, we believe that we have sufficient capital resources for the next twelve months.

 

24
 

  

Going forward, we expect our primary sources of cash to be rental revenues, asset management fees, joint venture equity and refinancing of existing debt. In addition, we may increase cash through the sale of additional properties, which may result in the deconsolidation of properties we already own, or borrowing against currently-owned properties. For the foreseeable future, we expect our primary uses of cash to be for the repayment of principal on loans payable, funding future acquisitions, operating expenses and interest expense on outstanding indebtedness. We may also incur expenditures for renovations of our existing properties, such as increasing the size of the properties by developing additional rentable square feet and/or making the space more appealing.

 

We continue to pursue options for repaying and/or refinancing debt obligations with long-term, fixed rate HUD-insured loans. We believe that conditions may be acceptable to continue to raise capital through additional joint venture arrangements with either our existing joint venture partner or new partners, although there can be no assurances that any such transactions will have terms acceptable to us or will be consummated.

 

Our FFO have increased considerably over the past year primarily due to increased rental revenue from our acquisitions, reduced expenses and the elimination of asset management and acquisition related fees paid to Cornerstone Realty Advisors, LLC (“CRA”) resulting from the termination of the Advisory Agreement offset by the transition to self-management. FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $522,000 and ($56,000), respectively. FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $1,327,000 and ($145,000), respectively.

 

Our liquidity will increase if cash from operations exceeds expenses, we receive net proceeds from the sale of whole or partial interest in a property or properties or refinancing results in excess loan proceeds. Our liquidity will decrease as proceeds are expended in connection with the acquisitions and operation of properties. Our ability to repay or refinance debt could be adversely affected by an inability to secure financing at reasonable terms, if at all.

 

Credit Facilities and Loan Agreements

 

As of June 30, 2015, we had debt obligations of approximately $58.7 million. The outstanding balance by lender is as follows: 

 

·The PrivateBank and Trust Company – approximately $7.3 million maturing January 2016 through September 2017;
·GE Capital – approximately $15.0 million maturing September 2017 through July 2018;
·Lancaster Pollard (HUD) – approximately $23.9 million maturing from September 2039 through September 2049; and
·Lancaster Pollard (HUD) – approximately $12.5 million maturing December 2049

 

Distributions

 

We made no stockholder distributions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

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 gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

 

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.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act 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. 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. Our President (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

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.
