STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “10-Q”) contain “forward-looking” information as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that do not relate to historical or current facts or matters are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include all statements regarding our expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financing plans, business strategy, budgets, the expected amounts and timing of dividends and other distributions, projected expenses and capital expenditures, competitive position, growth opportunities, potential acquisitions, plans and objectives for future operations, and compliance with and changes in governmental regulations. You can identify some of the forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “should,” “may” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
Our actual results may differ materially from those projected or contemplated by our forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the following:
•
our dependence on Genesis HealthCare LLC, the parent of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc., until we are able to further diversify our portfolio;
•
our dependence on the operating success of our tenants;
•
changes in general economic conditions and volatility in financial and credit markets;
•
the dependence of our tenants on reimbursement from governmental and other third-party payors;
•
the significant amount of and our ability to service our indebtedness;
•
covenants in our debt agreements that may restrict our ability to make acquisitions, incur additional indebtedness and refinance indebtedness on favorable terms;
•
increases in market interest rates;
•
our ability to raise capital through equity financings;
•
the relatively illiquid nature of real estate investments;
•
competitive conditions in our industry;
•
the loss of key management personnel or other employees;
•
the impact of litigation and rising insurance costs on the business of our tenants;
•
uninsured or underinsured losses affecting our properties and the possibility of environmental compliance costs and liabilities;
•
our ability to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”); and
•
compliance with REIT requirements and certain tax matters related to our status as a REIT.
We urge you to carefully consider these risks and review the additional disclosures we make concerning risks and other factors that may materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements and our future business and operating results, including those made in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (our “2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We caution you that any forward-looking statements made in this 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, events or results, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We do not intend, and we undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking information to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless required by law to do so.

SABRA HEALTH CARE REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
 
1.
BUSINESS
Overview
Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. (“Sabra” or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 10, 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Old Sun”) and commenced operations on November 15, 2010. Sabra elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2011. Sabra believes that it has been organized and operated, and it intends to continue to operate, in a manner to qualify as a REIT. Sabra’s primary business consists of acquiring, financing and owning real estate property to be leased to third party tenants in the healthcare sector. Sabra owns substantially all of its assets and properties and conducts its operations through Sabra Health Care Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which Sabra is the sole general partner, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2013, Sabra’s portfolio included 120 real estate properties held for investment and leased to operators/tenants under triple-net lease agreements (consisting of (i) 96 skilled nursing/post-acute facilities, (ii) 23 senior housing facilities, and (iii) one acute care hospital), six debt investments (consisting of (i) two mortgage loans, (ii) one mezzanine loan, (iii) two pre-development loans, and (iv) one construction mortgage loan) and two preferred equity investments.
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sabra and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
GAAP requires the Company to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity's activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. If the Company were determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company would consolidate investments in the VIE. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE due to events such as modifications of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity's equity investments at risk and the disposal of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary.
The Company identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis. At September 30, 2013, the Company did not have any consolidated VIEs.
As it relates to investments in joint ventures, based on the type of rights held by the limited partner(s), GAAP may preclude consolidation by the sole general partner in certain circumstances in which the general partner would otherwise consolidate the joint venture. The Company assesses limited partners' rights and their impact on the presumption of control of the limited partnership by the sole general partner when an investor becomes the sole general partner, and the Company reassesses if: there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of the limited partners; the sole general partner increases or decreases its ownership of limited partnership interests; or there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding limited partnership interests. The Company also applies this guidance to managing member interests in limited liability companies.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated

7

financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods. As a result, certain reclassifications were made to the consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of cash flows and footnote disclosures for all periods presented.

3.RECENT REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired one senior housing facility for a total purchase price of $6.2 million. The purchase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):

Stoney River Marshfield Earn Out
On December 18, 2012, the Company acquired a 60-bed assisted living facility, located in Marshfield, Wisconsin ("Stoney River Marshfield"), for $8.2 million through a triple-net sale-leaseback transaction with First Phoenix Group, LLC ("First Phoenix"). At the time of purchase, the facility was not completely stabilized and as such the Company and First Phoenix agreed to an earn out arrangement whereby the Company would pay First Phoenix additional consideration at a specific date in the future contingent on the performance of the facility. The Company estimated the contingent consideration liability at $1.3 million at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2013, based on the performance of the facility the contingent consideration liability is estimated at $1.9 million and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded adjustments to the contingent consideration of $0.3 million and $(0.6) million, respectively, and included these amounts in other income (expense) on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Operating Leases
As of September 30, 2013, all of the Company’s real estate properties were leased under triple-net operating leases with expirations ranging from seven to 21 years. As of September 30, 2013, the leases had a weighted-average remaining term of 10 years. The leases include provisions to extend the lease terms and other negotiated terms and conditions. The Company, through its subsidiaries, retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to the tenants. In addition, the Company may receive additional security under these operating leases in the form of security deposits from the lessee or guarantees from the parent of the lessee or other related parties. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $2.4 million and $1.1 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, 81 of the Company's 120 real estate properties held for investment were leased to subsidiaries of Genesis.
The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its tenants by reviewing credit ratings (if available) and evaluating the ability of the tenants to meet their lease obligations to the Company based on the tenants’ financial performance, including the evaluation of any parent guarantees (or the guarantees of other related parties) of tenant lease obligations. Because formal credit ratings may not be available for most of the Company’s tenants, the primary basis for the Company’s evaluation of the credit quality of its tenants (and more specifically the tenants’ ability to pay their rent obligations to the Company) is the tenants’ lease coverage ratios. These coverage ratios include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”) to rent coverage and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent and management fees (“EBITDARM”) to rent coverage at the facility level and consolidated EBITDAR to total fixed charge coverage at the parent guarantor level when such a guarantee exists (currently the Genesis lease portfolio). The Company obtains various financial and operational information from its tenants each month and reviews this information in conjunction with the above-described coverage metrics to determine trends and the operational and financial impact of the environment in the industry (including the impact of government reimbursement) and the management of the tenant’s operations. These metrics help the Company

9

identify potential areas of concern relative to its tenants’ credit quality and ultimately the tenants’ ability to generate sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, including its obligation to continue to pay the rent due to the Company.
As of September 30, 2013, the future minimum rental payments from the Company’s properties under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

Recent Loan Originations
On September 30, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to provide up to $66.8 million of construction financing to FPMC Fort Worth Realty Partners, LP (“Forest Park - Fort Worth”) for the construction of a 54-bed acute care hospital with 12 operating rooms, a medical office building and associated parking structure located in Fort Worth, Texas (the “Forest Park - Fort Worth Construction Mortgage Loan”). Also on September 30, 2013, the Company funded $0.5 million of this loan with available cash. Construction of the facility is expected to be completed by mid-2014. The Forest Park - Fort Worth Construction Mortgage Loan has a three-year term and bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum, with an option to extend the term for a fourth year with a fixed rate increasing to 8% per annum. The Forest Park - Fort Worth Construction Mortgage Loan will be secured by the facility when built and is partially guaranteed by two founding members of the Forest Park Medical Center system. In addition, the Company has an option to purchase the acute care hospital and associated parking structure starting 12 months after the facility receives a certificate of occupancy through and until the maturity date of the loan, subject to certain limited rights of the borrower. The purchase price under the purchase option agreement will be calculated by dividing the contractual rent due under the existing lease for the facility over the twelve months following closing by the greater of (i) 8.75% and (ii) the sum of (x) the then current 10-year Treasury rate and (y) 525 basis points. If the purchase option on the facility is exercised, the Company would expect to assume the existing long-term triple net lease on the facility.
On September 13, 2013, the Company entered into a $0.4 million pre-development loan (the “Marshfield II Pre-Development Loan”) with First Phoenix to fund the acquisition of land and certain other costs associated with the second development project (and third overall investment), a 24-unit memory care facility located in Marshfield, Wisconsin, under the forward purchase program entered into on August 16, 2012 between the Company and First Phoenix (the “First Phoenix Pipeline Agreement”). The First Phoenix Pipeline Agreement provides for the acquisition of, as well as certain interim funding arrangements for, up to ten assisted living and memory care facilities to be identified by First Phoenix and approved by the Company before the end of 2014. Under the First Phoenix Pipeline Agreement, First Phoenix will identify and develop the properties, subsidiaries of the Company will purchase the properties once stabilized and a 50%/50% RIDEA-compliant joint venture partnership between affiliates of the Company and First Phoenix will operate the facilities, subject to certain terms and conditions. A subsidiary of the Company will own 100% of the real estate and lease it to the joint venture partnership under a

10

triple-net lease structure with an initial annual yield on cash rent of 8%. Pursuant to the First Phoenix Pipeline Agreement, the Company would be obligated to purchase a property only after satisfactory completion of customary due diligence and agreed upon closing conditions. The Marshfield II Pre-Development Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 9.0% per annum. Repayment of the Marshfield II Pre-Development Loan is expected to occur in connection with the acquisition of the stabilized property by the Company, or earlier in certain circumstances. The Marshfield II Pre-Development Loan was funded with available cash.
On June 28, 2013, the Company originated a $12.4 million mezzanine loan (the "Chai Mezzanine Loan") with an affiliate of Chai Facilities Acquisition Company, LLC, the indirect owner of twelve skilled nursing facilities having 1,689 licensed beds in seven states (the "Chai Portfolio"). The Chai Mezzanine Loan has an 18-month term with an option to extend the maturity an additional six months and bears interest at a fixed rate of 12.0% per annum. The Chai Mezzanine Loan is secured by the borrower's equity interests in the entities that own the Chai Portfolio. In addition, the Company has an option to purchase up to $50.0 million of properties within the Chai Portfolio. The option, which commenced three months after the origination date and ends on the maturity date of the Chai Mezzanine Loan, can be exercised on any facility within the portfolio as long as the EBITDAR margin for such facility has reached 15% for at least one month. The purchase price for each facility will be determined by taking the annualized EBITDAR of the facility for the trailing three months prior to option exercise, divided by an EBITDAR coverage ratio of 1.50 and further divided by 9.5%. Should the Company exercise its option to purchase any properties in the Chai Portfolio, the Company would expect to enter into a new 15 year master lease with two five-year renewal options with annual rent increases equal to the greater of the change in the Consumer Price Index and 3.0%. The Chai Mezzanine Loan was funded with available cash.
On January 31, 2013, the Company entered into a $12.8 million mortgage loan agreement with an affiliate of New Dawn Holding Company ("New Dawn") secured by a first trust deed on a 48-unit memory care facility located in Sun City West, Arizona ("Sun City West Mortgage Loan"). The Sun City West Mortgage Loan has a five-year term, bears interest at a fixed rate of 9.0% per annum and cannot be prepaid during the first 3 years of the loan term. In addition, beginning April 2014, the Company has an option to purchase the facility securing the Sun City West Mortgage Loan for a price equal to the greater of (a) the annualized EBITDAR of the facility for the trailing three months prior to option exercise, divided by an EBITDAR coverage ratio of 1.30 and further divided by an implied lease rate of 8.25% (subject to adjustment up to 9.00%), and (b) $15.0 million. In the event the Company exercises the purchase option, the Company would expect to enter into a long-term lease with affiliates of New Dawn. The facility was built in 2012 and is operated by affiliates of New Dawn. The Sun City West Mortgage Loan was funded with available cash.
Other Investments
On March 5, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to provide up to $7.2 million of preferred equity funding to an affiliate of Meridian Realty Advisors, L.P. (“Meridian”) for the construction of a 141-bed skilled nursing facility and a 52-unit memory care facility in Austin, Texas (collectively, the “Bee Cave Preferred Equity Investments”). The Company funded $4.3 million on March 5, 2013 and an additional $2.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. In addition, the Company received an option to purchase the skilled nursing facility on or after the earlier to occur of the facility achieving and maintaining 90% occupancy for three consecutive months, or 36 months after receiving the certificate of occupancy for the facility. The Company also received an option to purchase the memory care facility that is not expected to be exercised as it is subordinate to a purchase option given to the manager of the memory care facility. In the event the Company were to exercise the purchase option on the skilled nursing facility, the Company would expect to lease the facility to Meridian under a long-term, triple net lease. The Company's preferred equity investment with respect to the skilled nursing facility provides for an annual 15% preferred rate of return, which accrues on a quarterly compounding basis with payment of the preferred return deferred until the earlier of the closing under the purchase option, or 18 months after receiving a certificate of occupancy for the facility. The Company's preferred equity investment with respect to the memory care facility provides for an annual 15% preferred rate of return, which accrues on a quarterly compounding basis with payment of the preferred return deferred until the earlier of the closing under the purchase option (whether by the manager of the facility or by the Company), or 30 months after receiving a certificate of occupancy for the facility. In the event the applicable purchase option is not exercised, the Company has the right to require Meridian to redeem the Company's investment, including the accrued preferred returns associated with such investment, within 180 days.

Contractual interest rates under variable rate mortgages are equal to the 90-day LIBOR plus 4.0% (subject to a 1.0% LIBOR floor).
5.375% Notes Due 2023. On May 23, 2013, the Operating Partnership and Sabra Capital Corporation, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Issuers”), completed an underwritten public offering of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior unsecured notes (the “2023 Notes”). The 2023 Notes were sold at par, resulting in gross proceeds of $200.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $194.6 million after deducting commissions and expenses. The 2023 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.375% per annum payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year.
The 2023 Notes are redeemable at the option of the Issuers, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 1, 2018, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 2023 Notes (the “2023 Notes Indenture”), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. In addition, prior to June 1, 2018, the Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the 2023 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. At any time, or from time to time, on or prior to June 1, 2016, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes, using the proceeds of specific kinds of equity offerings, at a redemption price of 105.375% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. Assuming the 2023 Notes are not redeemed, the 2023 Notes mature on June 1, 2023.
8.125% Notes Due 2018. On October 27, 2010, the Issuers issued $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% senior unsecured notes (the “2018 Notes”) resulting in gross proceeds of $225.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $219.9 million after deducting commissions and expenses. The 2018 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8.125% per annum payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year.
On July 26, 2012, the Issuers issued an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes, which are treated as a single class with the existing 2018 Notes. The notes were issued at 106.0% providing net proceeds of $103.0 million after underwriting costs and other offering expenses and a yield-to-maturity of 6.92%. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from this offering to repay the borrowings outstanding under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility (defined below). Pursuant to exchange offers completed on March 14, 2011 and on November 14, 2012, respectively, the Issuers exchanged $225.0 million and $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes that were issued in October 2010 and July 2012 for substantially identical 2018 Notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On June 24, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2018 Notes (the “2018 Notes Indenture”), the Issuers redeemed $113.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes, representing 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes outstanding. The 2018 Notes were redeemed at a redemption price of 108.125% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. The redemption resulted in a $9.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt, including $9.3 million in payments made to noteholders for early redemption and $0.5 million of write-offs associated with unamortized deferred financing costs and issuance premium.
The 2018 Notes are redeemable at the option of the Issuers, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 1, 2014, at the redemption prices set forth in the 2018 Notes Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. In addition, prior to November 1, 2014, the Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the 2018 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2018 Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. Assuming the 2018 Notes are not redeemed, the 2018 Notes mature on November 1, 2018.
The obligations under the 2018 Notes and 2023 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by Sabra and certain of Sabra’s other existing and, subject to certain exceptions, future material subsidiaries; provided, however, that such guarantees are subject to release under certain customary circumstances.  See “Note 10. Summarized Condensed Consolidating Information” for additional information concerning the

12

circumstances pursuant to which the guarantors will be automatically and unconditionally released from their obligations under the guarantees.
The 2018 Notes Indenture and 2023 Notes Indenture (collectively, the “Senior Notes Indentures”) contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Sabra, the Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) incur or guarantee secured indebtedness; (iii) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, their capital stock; (iv) make certain investments or other restricted payments; (v) sell assets; (vi) create liens on their assets; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (viii) merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets; and (ix) create restrictions on the ability of Sabra's restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to Sabra. The Senior Notes Indentures also provide for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal of, the Senior Notes, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the Senior Notes Indentures for a period of time after notice has been provided, the acceleration of other indebtedness resulting from the failure to pay principal on such other indebtedness prior to its maturity, and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the then outstanding Senior Notes may become due and payable immediately. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Senior Notes Indentures.

Revolving Credit Facility. On November 3, 2010, the Operating Partnership and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (together with the Operating Partnership, the “Borrowers”) entered into a secured revolving credit facility with certain lenders as set forth in the related credit agreement and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (each as defined in such credit agreement). On February 10, 2012, the Borrowers amended the secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”) to increase the borrowing capacity from $100.0 million to $200.0 million (up to $20.0 million of which may be utilized for letters of credit) and to include an accordion feature that allowed the Borrowers to increase borrowing availability under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility by up to an additional $150.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions. On September 20, 2012, the Borrowers utilized the accordion feature to increase the borrowing capacity to $230.0 million.

On July 29, 2013, the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity of $375.0 million and includes an accordion feature that allows the Operating Partnership to increase the borrowing availability by up to $225.0 million, subject to terms and conditions. While the Prior Revolving Credit Facility was secured by mortgages on certain of the Company's real estate assets, the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by pledges of equity by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries that own certain of the Company's real estate assets. This feature provides the Company with increased flexibility to increase the available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on, among other factors, the mortgageability cash flow (as such term is defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of July 29, 2016, and includes a one year extension option. As of September 30, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and $286.5 million was available for borrowing. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Company borrowed $131.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility to fund a portion of investments as discussed in Note 12, “Subsequent Events.”
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Operating Partnership's option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (referred to as the “Base Rate”). The applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, and will range from 2.50% to 3.50% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 1.50% to 2.50% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. As of September 30, 2013, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.18%. In addition, the Operating Partnership is required to pay a facility fee to the lenders equal to between 0.35% and 0.50% per annum based on the amount of unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred $0.8 million in interest expense on amounts outstanding under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility. The Company did not incur any interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2013. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of unused facility fees.
The obligations of the Operating Partnership under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by Sabra and certain subsidiaries of Sabra.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants that include restrictions or limitations on the ability to make acquisitions and other investments, pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, engage in non-healthcare related business activities, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or otherwise transfer certain assets as well as customary events of default. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires Sabra, through the Operating Partnership, to comply with specified

13

financial covenants, which include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Interest Expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred interest expense of $9.7 million and $29.9 million, respectively, and $9.1 million and $24.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Interest expense includes deferred financing costs amortization of $0.8 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $11.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively, of accrued interest included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Extinguishment of Debt. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively, of debt extinguishment loss due to the redemption premium and write-offs of unamortized deferred financing costs and issuance premium associated with the redemption of $113.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes and write-offs of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of debt extinguishment loss due to the write-offs of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with mortgage debt refinancing.

7.FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments.
Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and whose markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments whose markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fair values for other financial instruments are derived as follows:
Loans receivable: These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their amortized cost and not at fair value. The fair value of the loans receivable were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected cash flows for the loans receivable, the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements.
Preferred equity investments: These instruments are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their cost and not at fair value. The fair value of the preferred equity investments were estimated using an internal valuation model that considered the expected future cash flows for the preferred equity investment, the underlying collateral value and other credit enhancements.
Senior Notes: The fair values of the Senior Notes were determined using third-party market quotes derived from orderly trades.

14

Mortgage indebtedness: The fair values of the Company’s mortgage notes payable were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements.
The following are the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 whose carrying amounts do not approximate their fair value (in thousands):

(1) Face value for loans receivable, Senior Notes, mortgage indebtedness and the Secured Revolving Credit Facility represents amounts contractually due under the terms of the respective agreements. Face value for preferred equity investments represents amounts paid, plus preferred returns earned less distributions received.
(2) Carrying amounts represent the book value of financial instruments and include unamortized premiums (discounts). Also included in the carrying amounts for loans receivable and preferred equity investments are capitalized origination and transaction costs.

Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company at the applicable dates and requires a significant amount of judgment. Despite increased capital market and credit market activity, transaction volume for certain financial instruments remains relatively low. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of fair value at a future date could be materially different.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded the following amounts measured at fair value (in thousands):

EQUITY
Preferred Stock

On March 21, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 5.8 million shares of 7.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at a price of $25.00 per share, pursuant to an effective registration statement. The Company received net proceeds of $138.3 million from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.
The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock rank senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its affairs. Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will generally have no voting rights.  However, if dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors to serve on the Company’s board of directors until all accrued dividends for past dividend periods with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock also have voting rights with respect to the Company in certain other circumstances. At September 30, 2013, there were no dividends in arrears.
 Generally, the Company is not permitted to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock prior to March 21, 2018, except in limited circumstances to preserve its status as a REIT and pursuant to the special optional redemption provision described below. On or after March 21, 2018, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock up to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, upon the occurrence of a specified change of control (as described in the Articles Supplementary governing the Series A Preferred Stock), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such change of control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption. If the Company exercises any of its redemption rights relating to the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not have the conversion right described below. The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to mandatory redemption or any sinking fund.
 Upon the occurrence of a specified change of control, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right (unless, prior to the change of control conversion date specified in the Articles Supplementary governing the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company has provided or provides notice of its election to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock) to convert some or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted equal to the lesser of: 
•
the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the change of control conversion date (unless the change of control conversion date is after a record date for a Series A Preferred Stock dividend payment and prior to the corresponding Series A Preferred Stock dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for any accrued and unpaid dividend that will be paid on such dividend payment date will be included in this sum) by (ii) the common stock price (as defined in the Articles Supplementary); and
•
1.7864 (the share cap), subject to certain adjustments;
subject, in each case, to provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration as described in the Articles Supplementary governing the Series A Preferred Stock.
Upon issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company classified the par value as preferred equity on its condensed consolidated balance sheets with the balance of the liquidation preference, net of any issuance costs, recorded as a reduction to paid-in capital.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 33,935 shares of common stock as a result of stock options exercised.
At-The-Market Common Stock Offering Program (“ATM Program”)
On March 18, 2013, the Company entered into a sales agreement (each, a “Sales Agreement”) with each of Barclays Capital Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, RBS Securities Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (individually, a “Sales Agent” and together, the “Sales Agents”) to sell shares of its common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $100.0 million (the “ATM Shares”) from time to time through the Sales Agents.
Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreements, the ATM Shares may be sold by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering, including, without limitation, sales made directly on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, on any other existing trading market for the Company's common stock or to or through a market maker. In addition, with the Company's prior consent, the Sales Agents may also sell the ATM Shares in privately negotiated transactions. The Company will pay each Sales Agent a commission equal to 2% of the gross proceeds from the sales of ATM Shares sold pursuant to the applicable Sales Agreement.
No ATM Shares were sold under the ATM Program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Certain of our outstanding restricted stock units are considered participating securities because dividend payments are not forfeited even if the underlying award does not vest. Accordingly, the Company uses the two-class method when computing basic and diluted earnings per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, no restricted stock units were considered anti-dilutive. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately 3,000 restricted stock units were not included because they were anti-dilutive. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 5,000 restricted stock units were not included because they were anti-dilutive. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 31,000 and 89,000 stock options, respectively, were not included because they were anti-dilutive. No stock options were considered anti-dilutive during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
10.SUMMARIZED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION
In connection with the offerings of the Senior Notes by the Issuers in October 2010, July 2012 and May 2013, the Company and certain 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Senior Notes, subject to release under certain customary circumstances as described below. These guarantees are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt and senior guarantees of the Guarantors and are unsecured. The Company conducts all of its business through and derives virtually all of its income from its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company’s ability to make required payments with respect to its indebtedness (including the Senior Notes) and

16

other obligations depends on the financial results and condition of its subsidiaries and its ability to receive funds from its subsidiaries.
A Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the guarantees with respect to the Senior Notes in the event of:
•
Any sale of the subsidiary Guarantor or of all or substantially all of its assets;
•
A merger or consolidation of a subsidiary Guarantor with an issuer of the Senior Notes or another Guarantor, provided that the surviving entity remains a Guarantor;
•
A subsidiary Guarantor is declared “unrestricted” for covenant purposes under the Senior Notes Indentures;
•
The requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the Senior Notes Indentures have been satisfied;
•
A liquidation or dissolution, to the extent permitted under the Senior Notes Indentures, of a subsidiary Guarantor; and
•
The release or discharge of the guaranty that resulted in the creation of the subsidiary guaranty, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guaranty.
Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the following summarized consolidating information is provided for the Company (the “Parent Company”), the Issuers, the Guarantors, and the Company’s non-Guarantor subsidiaries with respect to the Senior Notes. This summarized financial information has been prepared from the books and records maintained by the Company, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the non-Guarantor subsidiaries. The summarized financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations or financial position had the Issuers, the Guarantors or non-Guarantor subsidiaries operated as independent entities. Sabra’s investments in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented based upon Sabra's proportionate share of each subsidiary's net assets. The Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in the non-Guarantor subsidiaries and non-Guarantor subsidiaries’ investments in Guarantor subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. Intercompany activities between subsidiaries and the Parent Company are presented within operating activities on the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows.
Condensed consolidating financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Parent Company only, the Issuers, the combined Guarantor subsidiaries and the combined non-Guarantor subsidiaries, are as follows:

In order to effect the restructuring, Old Sun distributed to its stockholders on a pro rata basis all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sun (this distribution is referred to as the “Separation”), together with an additional cash distribution. Immediately following the Separation, Old Sun merged with and into Sabra, with Sabra surviving the merger and Old Sun stockholders receiving shares of Sabra common stock in exchange for their shares of Old Sun common
stock (this merger is referred to as the “REIT Conversion Merger”). Effective November 15, 2010, the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger were completed and Sabra and Sun began operations as separate companies.
Following the Separation, Sun, through its subsidiaries, continued the business and operations of Old Sun and its subsidiaries. Sabra did not operate prior to the Separation. Immediately following the Separation, subsidiaries of Sabra owned substantially all of Old Sun’s owned real property. The owned real property held by subsidiaries of Sabra following the Separation includes fixtures and certain personal property associated with the real property. The historical consolidated financial statements of Old Sun became the historical consolidated financial statements of Sun at the time of the Separation. At the time of the Separation, the balance sheet of Sabra included the owned real property and mortgage indebtedness to third parties on the real property as well as indebtedness incurred by Sabra prior to completion of the Separation. The statements of income and cash flows of Sabra consist solely of its operations after the Separation. The Separation was accounted for as a reverse spinoff. Accordingly, Sabra’s assets and liabilities are recorded at the historical carrying values of Old Sun.
In connection with the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger, any liability arising from or relating to legal proceedings involving the Company’s real estate investments has been assumed by the Company and the Company will indemnify Sun (and its subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents and certain other related parties) against any losses arising from or relating to such legal proceedings. In addition, pursuant to a distribution agreement entered into among Old Sun, the Company and Sun in connection with the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger, Sun has agreed to indemnify the Company (and the Company’s subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents and certain other related parties) for any liability arising from or relating to legal proceedings involving Old Sun’s healthcare business prior to the Separation, and, pursuant to the lease agreements between the Company and subsidiaries of Sun, the tenants agree to indemnify the Company for any liability arising from operations at the real property leased from the Company.
Immediately prior to the Separation, Old Sun was a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings, including various claims arising in the ordinary course of its healthcare business, which are subject to the indemnities to be provided by Sun to the Company. While these actions and proceedings are not believed to be material, individually or in the aggregate, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted. The resolution of any such legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on Sun’s business, financial position or results of operations, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations if Sun or its subsidiaries are unable to meet their indemnification obligations.
For income tax purposes, the Company is the surviving taxpayer of the Separation. Accordingly, tax positions taken by Old Sun prior to the Separation remained the Company’s obligations after the Separation. However, under an agreement with Sun relating to tax allocation matters, Sun is responsible for and will indemnify the Company against, among other things, federal, state and local taxes (including penalties and interest) related to periods prior to the Separation to the extent the deferred tax assets allocated to the Company as part of the Separation are not sufficient and/or cannot be utilized to satisfy these taxes. After the 2010 tax year, the Company and Sun have agreed, to the extent allowable by applicable law, to allocate all net operating loss attributes generated in prior years to Sun. In addition, Sun will generally have the right to control the conduct and disposition of any tax audits or other proceedings with regard to such periods, and will be entitled to any refund or credit for such periods.

26

Effective December 1, 2012, Sun was acquired by Genesis HealthCare LLC (“Genesis”). As a result of its acquisition of Sun, Genesis became successor to the obligations of Sun described above.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings where the likelihood of a loss contingency is reasonably possible and the amount or range of reasonably possible losses is material to the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Dividend Declaration
On October 23, 2013, the Company announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on November 29, 2013 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2013.
On October 23, 2013, the Company also announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4453125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend will be paid on November 29, 2013 to preferred stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2013.
Forest Park Medical Center - Frisco
On October 22, 2013, the Company purchased Forest Park Medical Center - Frisco, a 54-bed acute care hospital located in Frisco, Texas for $119.8 million. This acute care hospital contains 30 inpatient rooms, 14 family suites, 10 ICU beds and 12 operating rooms. Approximately $10.5 million of the purchase price is being held in escrow for up to 20 months, the release of which is contingent on the tenant achieving certain performance hurdles. The seller will be paid a fee of $0.5 million per annum during the escrow period. Concurrently with the purchase, the Company assumed the existing long-term triple net lease with Forest Park Medical Center at Frisco, LLC, resulting in annual lease revenues determined in accordance with GAAP of $13.3 million. The obligations under the lease with Forest Park Medical Center - Frisco, LLC are guaranteed by the physician-owners of the tenant. The Forest Park Medical Center - Frisco acquisition was funded with available cash and proceeds from the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.
Forest Park Medical Center - Dallas Mortgage Loan
On October 22, 2013, the Company entered into a $110.0 million mortgage loan secured by Forest Park Medical Center - Dallas, an 84-bed acute care hospital located in Dallas, Texas (the “Forest Park - Dallas Mortgage Loan”). This acute care hospital contains 22 operating rooms and 84 patient rooms. The Forest Park - Dallas Mortgage Loan has a three-year term, bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum and cannot be prepaid until the final six months of the loan term. The Forest Park - Dallas Mortgage Loan is secured by the Forest Park Medical Center - Dallas facility. In addition, the Company has an option to purchase the facility securing the Forest Park - Dallas Mortgage Loan for up to $168.0 million. The borrowers under the Forest Park - Dallas Mortgage Loan have the right, if Forest Park Medical Center - Dallas is able to achieve certain EBITDAR coverage levels, to require the Company to purchase the facility for up to $168.0 million. If the purchase option on the facility is exercised, the Company would expect to assume the existing long-term triple net lease on the facility. The Forest Park - Dallas Mortgage Loan origination was funded with available cash and proceeds from the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.

Overview
We were incorporated on May 10, 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Old Sun”), a provider of nursing, rehabilitative and related specialty healthcare services principally to the senior population in the United States. Pursuant to a restructuring plan by Old Sun, Old Sun restructured its business by separating its real estate assets and its operating assets into two separate publicly traded companies, Sabra and SHG Services Inc. (which was then renamed “Sun Healthcare Group, Inc.” or “Sun”). In order to effect the restructuring, Old Sun distributed to its stockholders on a pro rata basis all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sun (this distribution is referred to as the “Separation”), together with an additional cash distribution. Immediately following the Separation, Old Sun merged with and into Sabra, with Sabra surviving the merger and Old Sun stockholders receiving shares of Sabra common stock in exchange for their shares of Old Sun common stock (this merger is referred to as the “REIT Conversion Merger”). The Separation and REIT Conversion Merger were completed on November 15, 2010, which we refer to as the Separation Date.
Following the restructuring of Old Sun’s business and the completion of the Separation and REIT Conversion Merger, we began operating as a self-administered, self-managed REIT that, directly or indirectly, owns and invests in real estate serving the healthcare industry.
As of September 30, 2013, our investment portfolio consisted of 120 real estate properties held for investment (consisting of (i) 96 skilled nursing/post-acute facilities, (ii) 23 senior housing facilities, and (iii) one acute care hospital), six debt investments (consisting of (i) two mortgage loans, (ii) one mezzanine loan, (iii) two pre-development loans, and (iv) one construction mortgage loan) and two preferred equity investments. As of September 30, 2013, our real estate properties had a total of 12,414 licensed beds, or units, spread across 27 states. As of September 30, 2013, all of our real estate properties were leased under triple-net operating leases with expirations ranging from seven to 21 years.
We expect to continue to grow our portfolio primarily through the acquisition of senior housing and memory care facilities and with a secondary focus on acquiring skilled nursing facilities. We have and will continue to opportunistically acquire other types of healthcare real estate (including acute care hospitals) and originate financing secured directly or indirectly by healthcare facilities. We also expect to continue to work with operators to identify strategic development opportunities. These opportunities may involve replacing or renovating facilities in our portfolio that may have become less competitive and new development opportunities that present attractive risk-adjusted returns. In addition to pursuing acquisitions with triple-net leases, we expect to continue to pursue other forms of investment, including investments in senior housing through RIDEA-compliant structures, mezzanine and secured debt investments, and joint ventures for senior housing, memory care and skilled nursing assets.
As we acquire additional properties and expand our portfolio, we expect to further diversify by tenant, asset class and geography within the healthcare sector. We employ a disciplined, opportunistic approach in our healthcare real estate investment strategy by investing in assets that provide attractive opportunities for dividend growth and appreciation of asset values, while maintaining balance sheet strength and liquidity, thereby creating long-term stockholder value.

28

We elected to be treated as a REIT with the filing of our U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2011. We believe that we have been organized and have operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in a manner to qualify as a REIT. We operate through an umbrella partnership (commonly referred to as an UPREIT) structure in which substantially all of our properties and assets are held by the Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner, or by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.
Recent Transactions
Forest Park Medical Center - Frisco
On October 22, 2013, we purchased Forest Park Medical Center - Frisco, a 54-bed acute care hospital located in Frisco, Texas for $119.8 million. This acute care hospital contains 30 inpatient rooms, 14 family suites, 10 ICU beds and 12 operating rooms. Approximately $10.5 million of the purchase price is being held in escrow for up to 20 months, the release of which is contingent on the tenant achieving certain performance hurdles. The seller will be paid a fee of $0.5 million per annum during the escrow period. Concurrently with the purchase, we assumed the existing long-term triple net lease with Forest Park Medical Center at Frisco, LLC, resulting in annual lease revenues determined in accordance with GAAP of $13.3 million and an initial yield on cash rent of 8.75%. The obligations under the lease with Forest Park Medical Center - Frisco, LLC are guaranteed by the physician-owners of the tenant. The Forest Park Medical Center - Frisco acquisition was funded with available cash and proceeds from our Revolving Credit Facility.
Forest Park Medical Center - Dallas Mortgage Loan
On October 22, 2013, we entered into a $110.0 million mortgage loan secured by Forest Park Medical Center - Dallas, an 84-bed acute care hospital located in Dallas, Texas (the “Forest Park - Dallas Mortgage Loan”). This acute care hospital contains 22 operating rooms and 84 patient rooms. The Forest Park - Dallas Mortgage Loan has a three-year term, bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum and cannot be prepaid until the final six months of the loan term. The Forest Park - Dallas Mortgage Loan is secured by the Forest Park Medical Center - Dallas facility. In addition, we have an option to purchase the facility securing the Forest Park - Dallas Mortgage Loan for up to $168.0 million. The borrowers under the Forest Park - Dallas Mortgage Loan have the right, if Forest Park Medical Center - Dallas is able to achieve certain EBITDAR coverage levels, to require us to purchase the facility for up to $168.0 million. If the purchase option on the facility is exercised, we would expect to assume the existing long-term triple net lease on the facility. The Forest Park - Dallas Mortgage Loan origination was funded with available cash and proceeds from our Revolving Credit Facility.
Forest Park Medical Center - Fort Worth Construction Mortgage Loan
On September 30, 2013, we entered into an agreement to provide up to $66.8 million of construction financing to FPMC Fort Worth Realty Partners, LP (“Forest Park - Fort Worth”) for the construction of a 54-bed acute care hospital with 12 operating rooms, a medical office building and associated parking structure located in Fort Worth, Texas (the “Forest Park - Fort Worth Construction Mortgage Loan”). Also on September 30, 2013, we funded $0.5 million of this loan with available cash. Construction of the facility is expected to be completed by mid-2014. The Forest Park - Fort Worth Construction Mortgage Loan has a three-year term and bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum, with an option to extend the term for a fourth year with a fixed rate increasing to 8% per annum. The Forest Park - Fort Worth Construction Mortgage Loan will be secured by the facility when built and is partially guaranteed by two founding members of the Forest Park Medical Center system. In addition, we have an option to purchase the acute care hospital and associated parking structure starting 12 months after the facility receives a certificate of occupancy through and until the maturity date of the loan, subject to certain limited rights of the borrower. The purchase price under the purchase option agreement will be calculated by dividing the contractual rent due under the existing lease for the facility over the twelve months following closing by the greater of (i) 8.75% and (ii) the sum of (x) the then current 10-year Treasury rate and (y) 525 basis points. If the purchase option on the facility is exercised, we would expect to assume the existing long-term triple net lease on the facility. The annualized GAAP interest income will be $4.8 million when the loan is fully funded.
Marshfield II Pre-Development Loan
On September 13, 2013, we entered into a $0.4 million pre-development loan (the “Marshfield II Pre-Development Loan”) with First Phoenix Group, LLC (“First Phoenix”) to fund the acquisition of land and certain other costs associated with the second development project (and third overall investment), a 24-unit memory care facility located in Marshfield, Wisconsin, under the forward purchase program entered into on August 16, 2012 between us and First Phoenix (the “First Phoenix Pipeline Agreement”). The First Phoenix Pipeline Agreement provides for the acquisition of, as well as certain interim funding arrangements for, up to ten assisted living and memory care facilities to be identified by First Phoenix and approved by us before the end of 2014. Under the First Phoenix Pipeline Agreement, First Phoenix will identify and develop the properties, subsidiaries of Sabra will purchase the properties once stabilized and a 50%/50% RIDEA-compliant joint venture partnership

29

between affiliates of Sabra and First Phoenix will operate the facilities, subject to certain terms and conditions. We will own 100% of the real estate and lease it to the joint venture partnership under a triple-net lease structure with an initial annual yield on cash rent of 8%. Pursuant to the First Phoenix Pipeline Agreement, we would be obligated to purchase a property only after satisfactory completion of customary due diligence and agreed upon closing conditions. The Marshfield II Pre-Development Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 9.0% per annum. Repayment of the Marshfield II Pre-Development Loan is expected to occur in connection with the acquisition of the stabilized property by Sabra, or earlier in certain circumstances. The Marshfield II Pre-Development Loan was funded with available cash.
Meridian Pipeline Agreement
On July 29, 2013, we agreed to terms on a non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) on a forward purchase program with Meridian Realty Advisors, L.P. (“Meridian,” and such forward purchase program the “Meridian Pipeline Agreement”) to acquire newly constructed senior housing, memory care and skilled nursing properties to be developed by affiliates of Meridian. The Term Sheet provides for the acquisition of, as well as certain interim capital commitments for, up to ten facilities, consisting of senior housing, memory care and skilled nursing facilties, with an estimated aggregate cost of $100.0 million through 2015. Under the Term Sheet, Meridian will identify and develop the properties, we will contribute preferred equity capital and we will have the option to purchase the facilities upon stabilization. The preferred equity investments will earn an annual 15% preferred rate of return, which will accrue on a quarterly compounding basis with payment of the preferred return deferred until the earlier of the closing under the applicable purchase option, the exercise of Meridian's applicable call option, the exercise of our applicable put option or the sale of the applicable property. Should we exercise our purchase option on a facility, we would expect to lease the facility to Meridian under a long-term, triple net lease with an initial cash yield 7.5% to 9.0% depending on the type of facility. The Term Sheet is non-binding and is subject to the parties' negotiation of final terms, which is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2013.

Revolving Credit Facility
On July 29, 2013, the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity of $375.0 million, of which $286.5 million was available for borrowing as of September 30, 2013. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature that allows the Operating Partnership to increase the borrowing availability by up to $225.0 million, subject to terms and conditions. While the Prior Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6, “Debt,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) was secured by mortgages on certain of our real estate assets, the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by pledges of equity by our wholly-owned subsidiaries that own certain of our real estate assets.  This feature provides us with increased flexibility to increase the available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of July 29, 2016, and includes a one year extension option. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Operating Partnership's option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”). The applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, and will range from 2.50% to 3.50% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 1.50% to 2.50% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. In addition, the Operating Partnership is required to pay a facility fee to the lenders equal to between 0.35% and 0.50% per annum based on the amount of unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. See "—Liquidity and Capital Resources" for further information.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Results of Operations
As of September 30, 2013, our investment portfolio included 120 real estate properties held for investment, six investments in loans receivable and two preferred equity investments. As of September 30, 2012, our investment portfolio included 105 real estate properties and three investments in loans receivable. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of owning investments acquired in 2013 and 2012 for an entire period and the anticipated future acquisition of additional investments. The results of operations presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are not directly comparable due to the increase in acquisitions made subsequent to the beginning of the respective comparable period in the preceding year.

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 as a result of investments made on or after July 1, 2012.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 that is not a direct result of investments made after July 1, 2012.

Rental Income
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $31.7 million of rental income compared to $25.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The $6.3 million increase in rental income is due to an increase of $3.7 million from properties acquired on or after July 1, 2012 and an increase of $2.6 million primarily due to straight-line rental income adjustments recognized on Genesis properties that did not have fixed rent escalators until December 2012 and therefore did not have straight-line rental income adjustments during the three months ended September 30, 2012. Under our original lease agreements with subsidiaries of Sun, the annual rent escalator was equal to the product of (a) the lesser of the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (but not less than zero) or 2.5%, and (b) the prior year's rent. Effective December 1, 2012 with the acquisition of Sun by Genesis, these lease agreements were amended to fix the annual rent escalators at 2.5%.  Amounts due under the terms of all of our lease agreements are subject to contractual increases, and there is no contingent rental income that may be derived from our properties.
Interest and Other Income
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $1.2 million of interest and other income, which consisted primarily of interest income earned on our six loans receivable investments and preferred dividends on our two preferred equity investments. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $0.6 million of interest income, which consisted primarily of interest income earned on three loans receivable investments, one of which was repaid in November 2012 when we exercised our option to acquire the properties securing the loan.
Depreciation and Amortization
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $8.3 million of depreciation and amortization expense compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The $0.8 million net increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to an increase of $1.0 million from properties acquired on or after July 1, 2012, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million related to assets that have been fully depreciated.

31

Interest Expense
We incur interest expense comprised of costs of borrowings plus the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our indebtedness. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $9.7 million of interest expense compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The $0.6 million net increase is primarily related to a $2.8 million increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the May 2013 issuance of the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes, partially offset by (i) a $1.8 million net decrease in interest expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and premium related to the redemption of $113.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes and (ii) a $0.4 million decrease in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs due to the decreased interest rates on the refinanced mortgage notes and the 50 basis point reduction in the interest rate spread on certain floating rate mortgage notes.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include compensation-related expenses as well as professional services, office costs and other costs associated with acquisition pursuit activities. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, general and administrative expenses were $3.1 million compared to $3.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The $0.7 million net decrease is primarily related to (i) a $0.1 million decrease in acquisition pursuit costs from $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and (ii) a $0.5 million net decrease in payroll expenses. The $0.5 million net decrease includes a $0.1 million increase due to increased staffing and annual pay increases, offset by a $0.6 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense, from $1.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, is primarily related to annual bonuses paid to our management team. Management has elected to receive annual bonuses in stock rather than in cash and therefore changes in our stock price will result in changes to our bonus expense. The decrease in stock-based compensation as a result of the annual bonuses to be received in stock is due to the decrease in our stock price during the three months ended September 30, 2013 (a decrease of $3.10 per share) compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 (an increase of $2.90 per share). We expect acquisition pursuit costs to fluctuate from period to period depending on acquisition activity. We also expect stock-based compensation expense to fluctuate from period to period depending upon changes in our stock price and estimates associated with performance-based compensation.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $0.3 million of loss on debt extinguishment related to the write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $0.5 million of debt extinguishment loss due to the write-offs of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with mortgage debt refinancing.
Other Income (Expense)
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $0.3 million in other income as a result of adjusting the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to the Stoney River Marshfield facility acquisition as described in Note 4, “Real Estate Properties Held for Investment,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This contingent consideration payment, estimated at $1.9 million as of September 30, 2013, is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2013 and will result in additional rental income from the time of payment through the term of the related lease starting at an initial cash yield of 8.0%, increasing over time through annual rent escalators equal to the greater of the change in the Consumer Price Index or 3.0%.

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as a result of investments made on or after January 1, 2012.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 that is not a direct result of investments made on or after January 1, 2012.

Rental Income
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $94.7 million of rental income compared to $73.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The $20.8 million increase in rental income is due to an increase of $13.3 million from properties acquired after January 1, 2012 and an increase of $7.5 million primarily due to straight-line rental income adjustments recognized on Genesis properties that did not have fixed rent escalators until December 2012 and therefore did not have straight-line rental income adjustments during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Under our original lease agreements with subsidiaries of Sun, the annual rent escalator was equal to the product of (a) the lesser of the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (but not less than zero) or 2.5%, and (b) the prior year's rent. Effective December 1, 2012 with the acquisition of Sun by Genesis, these lease agreements were amended to fix the annual rent escalators at 2.5%. Amounts due under the terms of all of our lease agreements are subject to contractual increases, and there is no contingent rental income that may be derived from our properties.
Interest and Other Income
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $2.5 million of interest and other income, which consisted primarily of interest income earned on our six loans receivable investments and preferred dividends on our two preferred equity investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $1.0 million of interest income, which consisted mostly of interest income earned on three loans receivable investments, one of which was repaid in November 2012 when we exercised our option to acquire the properties securing the loan.
Depreciation and Amortization
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $24.7 million of depreciation and amortization expense compared to $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The $2.3 million net increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to an increase of $3.4 million from properties acquired after January 1, 2012, partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 million related to assets that have been fully depreciated.
Interest Expense
We incur interest expense comprised of costs of borrowings plus the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our indebtedness. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $29.9 million of interest expense compared to $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The $5.2 million net increase is primarily related to (i) a $4.0 million increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the May 2013 issuance of the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes, (ii) a $1.9 million net increase in interest expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and premium related to the July 2012 issuance of the $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes and (iii) $0.9 million increase in interest expense, unused facility fees and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the amounts outstanding (which we repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2013) and increase in capacity under our

33

Prior Revolving Credit Facility from $100.0 million to $375.0 million. Included in the $1.9 million increase in interest expense on the 2018 Notes is $0.8 million of interest incurred from May 23, 2013 (the date 2023 Notes were issued) to June 24, 2013 (the date that $113.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes were redeemed) related to the $113.8 million of redeemed 2018 Notes. These increases were offset by a decrease in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.6 million primarily due to the decreased interest rates on the refinanced mortgage notes and the 50 basis point reduction in the interest rate spread on certain floating rate mortgage notes.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include compensation-related expenses as well as professional services, office costs and other costs associated with acquisition pursuit activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, general and administrative expenses were $11.2 million compared to $11.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The $0.4 million net decrease is primarily related to a $0.5 million decrease in acquisition pursuit costs, from $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, offset by a $0.2 million net increase in payroll expenses. The $0.2 million increase includes a $0.7 million increase in payroll expenses due in part to increased staffing and annual pay increases, offset by a $0.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense, from $5.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $5.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, is primarily related to annual bonuses paid to our management team. Management has elected to receive annual bonuses in stock rather than in cash and therefore changes in our stock price will result in changes to our bonus expense. The decrease in stock-based compensation as a result of the annual bonuses to be received in stock is due to the change in our stock price during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (an increase of $1.29 per share) compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (an increase of $7.92 per share). We expect acquisition pursuit costs to fluctuate from period to period depending on acquisition activity. We also expect stock-based compensation expense to fluctuate from period to period depending upon changes in our stock price and estimates associated with performance-based compensation.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $10.1 million of loss on debt extinguishment. Of this amount, $9.8 million related to the write-offs of deferred financing costs and issuance premium and the redemption fee paid in connection with the June 2013 redemption of $113.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes and $0.3 million related to the write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $0.7 million of debt extinguishment loss due to the write-offs of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with mortgage debt refinancing.
Other Income (Expense)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $0.6 million in other expense as a result of adjusting the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to the Stoney River Marshfield facility acquisition as described in Note 4, “Real Estate Properties Held for Investment,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This contingent consideration payment, estimated at $1.9 million as of September 30, 2013, is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2013 and will result in additional rental income from the time of payment through the term of the related lease starting at an initial cash yield of 8.0%, increasing over time through annual rent escalators equal to the greater of the change in the Consumer Price Index or 3.0%.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

We believe that net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations (“FFO”), as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) (and related per share amounts) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and impairment charges. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding non-cash revenues (including, but not limited to, straight-line rental income adjustments and non-cash interest income adjustments), non-cash expenses (including, but not limited to, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of debt discounts and

34

premiums) and acquisition pursuit costs. We believe that the use of FFO and AFFO (and the related per share amounts), combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, impairment charges, and real estate depreciation and amortization, and for AFFO, by excluding non-cash revenues (including, but not limited to, straight-line rental income adjustments and non-cash interest income adjustments), non-cash expenses (including, but not limited to, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of debt discounts and premiums) and acquisition pursuit costs, FFO and AFFO can help investors compare our operating performance between periods or as compared to other companies. While FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income attributable to common stockholders as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and AFFO also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor do they purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define AFFO differently than we do.
The following table reconciles our calculations of FFO and AFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, to net income attributable to common stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same periods (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Significant Items Included in Net Income:

•
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $0.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively, of debt extinguishment loss. The $0.3 million of debt extinguishment loss during the three months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of write-offs of deferred financing costs in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. The $10.1 million of debt extinguishment loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 also included $9.3 million for the cash payment made to noteholders for early redemption of $113.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes and $0.5 million for the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and issuance premiums. This entire amount of the loss on extinguishment of debt is included in FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the $9.3 million early redemption premium is included in AFFO for three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
•
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of other income (expense), as a result of adjusting the fair value of our contingent consideration liability related to the Stoney River Marshfield facility acquisition as described in Note 4, “Real Estate Properties Held for Investment,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This entire amount is included in FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $383.1 million in liquidity, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $96.6 million and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility of $286.5 million. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity of $375.0 million and includes an accordion feature that allows the Operating Partnership to increase the borrowing availability by up to $225.0 million, subject to terms and conditions. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we funded $229.8 million for our investment in the Forest Park Medical Center - Dallas Mortgage Loan and our acquisition of Forest Park Medical Center - Frisco with available cash and $131.0 million of borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility as discussed in “—Recent Transactions.”
On May 23, 2013, we completed an underwritten public offering of $200 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes, providing net proceeds of approximately $194.6 million after deducting commissions and expenses.
On June 24, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Notes Indenture, the Issuers redeemed $113.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes, representing 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes outstanding. The 2018 Notes were redeemed at a redemption price of 108.125% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. The redemption resulted in approximately $9.8 million of redemption related costs and write-offs, including $9.3 million in payments made to noteholders for early redemption and $0.5 million of write-offs associated with unamortized deferred financing and premium costs.
On March 18, 2013, we entered into a sales agreement (each, a “Sales Agreement”) with each of Barclays Capital Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, RBS Securities Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (individually, a “Sales Agent” and together, the “Sales Agents”) to sell shares of our common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $100.0 million (the “ATM Shares”) from time to time through the Sales Agents.
Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreements, the ATM Shares may be sold by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering, including, without limitation, sales made directly on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, on any other existing trading market for our common stock or to or through a market maker. In addition, with our prior consent, the Sales Agents may also sell the ATM Shares in privately negotiated transactions. We will pay each Sales Agent a commission equal to 2% of the gross proceeds from the sales of ATM Shares sold pursuant to the applicable Sales Agreement. We are not obligated to sell and the Sales Agents are not obligated to buy or sell any ATM Shares under the Sales Agreements. No assurance can be given that we will sell any shares under the Sales Agreements, or, if we do, as to the price or amount of shares that we sell, or the dates when such sales will take place. No ATM Shares were sold under the ATM Program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
In addition, we have filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC that expires in May 2016, which will allow us to offer and sell shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, units, and certain of our subsidiaries to offer and sell debt securities, through underwriters, dealers or agents or directly to purchasers, on a continuous or delayed basis, in amounts, at prices and on terms we determine at the time of the offering.
We believe that our available cash, operating cash flows and borrowings available to us under the Revolving Credit Facility provide sufficient funds for our operations, scheduled debt service payments with respect to our senior notes, mortgage indebtedness on our properties, and dividend requirements for the next twelve months.

36

We intend to invest in additional healthcare properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of financing are available. We expect that future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly-acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed, in whole or in part, by our existing cash, borrowings available to us under our Revolving Credit Facility, future borrowings or the proceeds from issuances of common stock, preferred stock, debt or other securities. In addition, we expect to seek financing from U.S. government agencies, including through Fannie Mae and HUD, in appropriate circumstances in connection with acquisitions and refinancings of existing mortgage loans.
As of September 30, 2013, we had $411.3 million of indebtedness with respect to our 2018 Notes and 2023 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) and aggregate mortgage indebtedness to third parties of approximately $142.2 million on certain of our properties. In addition, as of September 30, 2013, we had no amounts outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility with borrowing capacity of $375.0 million and $286.5 million available for borrowing. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we funded $229.8 million for our investment in the Forest Park Medical Center – Dallas Mortgage Loan and our acquisition of Forest Park Medical Center – Frisco with available cash and $131.0 million of borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility as discussed in “—Recent Transactions.”
Although we are subject to restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness under the 2018 Notes Indenture and 2023 Notes Indenture (collectively, the “Senior Notes Indentures”) governing the Senior Notes and under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we expect that we will be able to refinance existing indebtedness or incur additional indebtedness for acquisitions or other purposes, if needed. However, there can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to refinance our indebtedness, incur additional indebtedness or access additional sources of capital, such as by issuing common stock or other debt or equity securities, on terms that are acceptable to us or at all.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $49.2 million and $47.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Operating cash flows were derived primarily from the rental payments received under the lease agreements with subsidiaries of Genesis and rental payments from our other tenants. Operating cash outflows consisted primarily of interest payments on our outstanding debt and payment of general and administrative expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities increased in 2013 primarily as a result of acquisitions which resulted in increased rental income, offset by $9.3 million in payments made to noteholders for early redemption of $113.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes. We expect our annualized cash flows provided by operating activities to increase as a result of completed and anticipated future real estate investments.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash used in investing activities was $37.4 million and consisted of $26.4 million used to originate four loans receivable, $6.6 million used for two preferred equity investments, $6.2 million for the acquisition of one senior housing facility and $0.4 million used for tenant improvements, partially offset by $2.2 million net proceeds from the sale of one real estate asset. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $121.2 million and consisted of $98.1 million used in the acquisition of six skilled nursing facilities and two senior housing facilities, $22.1 million used to originate three loans receivable and $1.0 million used for tenant improvements.
We expect to continue using available liquidity in connection with anticipated future real estate investments and loan originations.

37

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities was $67.7 million and consisted of $138.3 million from the issuance of preferred stock and $200.0 million in proceeds from the June 2013 offering of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes, offset by the redemption of $113.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes, the $92.5 million repayment of the balance then outstanding under our Prior Revolving Credit Facility, $3.0 million in net payments related to the issuance of common stock pursuant to equity compensation arrangements as well as expenses with respect to the ATM Program, $42.7 million of dividends paid to stockholders, $10.1 million of principal repayments of mortgage notes payable and $8.6 million of payments for deferred financing costs primarily related to the issuance of the 2023 Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was $61.5 million and consisted of $106.0 million in proceeds from the July 2012 offering of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued at 106% and $0.1 million in net proceeds related to the issuance of common stock, partially offset by a net decrease in mortgage borrowings of $0.9 million, $36.7 million of dividends paid to common stockholders and $7.0 million of payments for deferred financing costs related to the entry into the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, the refinancing of certain mortgage notes and the July 2012 offering of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. The $0.9 million net decrease in mortgage borrowings consisted of $1.5 million of incremental borrowings through refinancings of existing mortgage notes less $2.4 million from normal amortizing principal payments. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we borrowed $42.5 million on our Prior Revolving Credit Facility, which was repaid during the same period. 
Loan Agreements
2023 Notes. On May 23, 2013, the Issuers issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes. The 2023 Notes were sold at par, resulting in gross proceeds of $200.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $194.6 million after deducting commissions and expenses. The 2023 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.375% per annum payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year.
The 2023 Notes are redeemable at the option of the Issuers, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 1, 2018, at the redemption prices set forth in the 2023 Notes Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. In addition, prior to June 1, 2018, the Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the 2023 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. At any time, or from time to time, on or prior to June 1, 2016, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes, using the proceeds of specific kinds of equity offerings, at a redemption price of 105.375% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. Assuming the 2023 Notes are not redeemed, the 2023 Notes mature on June 1, 2023.
2018 Notes. On October 27, 2010, the Issuers issued $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes resulting in gross proceeds of $225.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $219.9 million after deducting commissions and expenses. The 2018 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8.125% per annum payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year.
On July 26, 2012, the Issuers issued an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes, which are treated as a single class with the existing 2018 Notes. The notes were issued at 106.0% providing net proceeds of $103.0 million after underwriting costs and other offering expenses and a yield-to-maturity of 6.92%. We used a portion of the proceeds from this offering to repay the borrowings outstanding under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to exchange offers completed on March 14, 2011 and November 14, 2012, respectively, the Issuers exchanged $225.0 million and $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that were issued in October 2010 and July 2012 for substantially identical 2018 Notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On June 24, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Notes Indenture, the Issuers redeemed $113.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes, representing 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes outstanding. The 2018 Notes were redeemed at a redemption price of 108.125% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. The redemption resulted in a $9.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt, including $9.3 million in payments made to noteholders for early redemption and $0.5 million of write-offs associated with unamortized deferred financing costs and issuance premium.
The 2018 Notes are redeemable at the option of the Issuers, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 1, 2014, at the redemption prices set forth in the 2018 Notes Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. In addition, prior to November 1, 2014, the Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the 2018 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2018 Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, plus

38

accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. Assuming the 2018 Notes are not redeemed, the 2018 Notes mature on November 1, 2018.
The obligations under the Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by us and certain of our other existing and, subject to certain exceptions, future material subsidiaries; provided, however, that such guarantees are subject to release under certain customary circumstances.  See Note 10, “Summarized Condensed Consolidating Information,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the circumstances pursuant to which the guarantors will be automatically and unconditionally released from their obligations under the guarantees.
The Senior Notes Indentures contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Sabra, the Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) incur or guarantee secured indebtedness; (iii) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, their capital stock; (iv) make certain investments or other restricted payments; (v) sell assets; (vi) create liens on their assets; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (viii) merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets; and (ix) create restrictions on the ability of Sabra's restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to Sabra. The Senior Notes Indentures also provide for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments of interest or premium, if any, on, or principal of, the Senior Notes, the failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements specified in the Senior Notes Indentures for a period of time after notice has been provided, the acceleration of other indebtedness resulting from the failure to pay principal on such other indebtedness prior to its maturity, and certain events of insolvency. If any event of default occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the then outstanding Senior Notes may become due and payable immediately. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Senior Notes Indentures.
Revolving Credit Facility. On November 3, 2010, the Operating Partnership and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (together with the Operating Partnership, the “Borrowers”) entered into the Prior Revolving Credit Facility with certain lenders as set forth in the related credit agreement and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (each as defined in such credit agreement). On February 10, 2012, the Borrowers amended the Prior Revolving Credit Facility to increase the borrowing capacity from $100.0 million to $200.0 million (up to $20.0 million of which may be utilized for letters of credit) and to include an accordion feature that allowed the Borrowers to increase borrowing availability under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility by up to an additional $150.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions. On September 20, 2012, the Borrowers utilized the accordion feature to increase the borrowing capacity to $230.0 million.
On July 29, 2013, the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated secured revolving credit facility (which we refer to as the Revolving Credit Facility). The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a borrowing capacity of $375.0 million and includes an accordion feature that allows the Operating Partnership to increase the borrowing availability by up to $225.0 million, subject to terms and conditions. While the Prior Revolving Credit Facility was secured by mortgages on certain of our real estate assets, the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by pledges of equity by our wholly-owned subsidiaries that own certain of our real estate assets. This feature provides us with increased flexibility to increase the available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on, among other factors, the mortgageability cash flow (as such term is defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of July 29, 2016, and includes a one year extension option. As of September 30, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $286.5 million available for borrowing.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the Operating Partnership's option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (referred to as the Base Rate). The applicable percentage for borrowings will vary based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, and will range from 2.50% to 3.50% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 1.50% to 2.50% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. As of September 30, 2013, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.18%. In addition, the Operating Partnership is required to pay a facility fee to the lenders equal to between 0.35% and 0.50% per annum based on the amount of unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $0.8 million in interest expense on amounts outstanding under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility. We did not incur any interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2013. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of unused facility fees.
The obligations of the Operating Partnership under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries.

39

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants that include restrictions or limitations on the ability to make acquisitions and other investments, pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, engage in non-healthcare related business activities, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or otherwise transfer certain assets as well as customary events of default. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires us, through the Operating Partnership, to comply with specified financial covenants, which include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Mortgage Indebtedness
Of our 120 properties, 24 are subject to mortgage indebtedness to third parties that, as of September 30, 2013, totaled approximately $142.2 million. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our mortgage notes payable consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

Contractual interest rates under variable rate mortgages are equal to the 90-day LIBOR plus 4.0% (subject to a 1.0% LIBOR floor).
Capital Expenditures
There was $0.4 million of capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $1.0 million in capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The $1.0 million in capital expenditures for the nine months months ended September 30, 2012 includes $7,000 of capital expenditures for corporate office needs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. There are no present plans for the improvement or development of any unimproved or undeveloped property; however, from time to time we may agree to fund improvements our tenants make at our facilities. Accordingly, we anticipate that our aggregate capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months will not exceed $3.0 million, and that such expenditures will principally be for improvements to our facilities and result in incremental rental income.
Dividends
We paid dividends of $42.7 million on our common and preferred stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. On October 23, 2013, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on November 29, 2013 to stockholders of record as of November 15, 2013. Also on October 23, 2013, our board of directors declared the a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4453125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend will be paid on November 29, 2013 to preferred stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2013.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risks arise when a number of operators, tenants or obligors related to our investments are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to us, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of risks.

Genesis
Effective December 1, 2012, Sun was acquired by Genesis, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Genesis. In connection with this transaction, we obtained a parent guaranty from Genesis to replace the then-existing Sun guaranty of the lease obligations of its subsidiaries that are tenants under our lease agreements. As of September 30, 2013, 81 of our 120 real estate properties held for investment were leased to subsidiaries of Genesis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 63% and 72%, respectively, of our total revenues were derived from these leases. Prior to December 1, 2012, Sun was subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC and was required to file with the SEC annual reports containing audited financial information and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information. Genesis is not an SEC registrant and is not subject to SEC reporting requirements. As of September 30, 2013, Genesis and its subsidiaries operated or managed 374 skilled nursing centers, 33 assisted or independent living centers and 6 mental health centers across 28 states. Genesis also provides rehabilitation therapy services to approximately 1,500 affiliated and non-affiliated centers in 44 states. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Genesis’s net revenues were $1.2 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, and adjusted normalized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent were $139.7 million and $442.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Genesis’s net revenues were $0.7 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, and adjusted normalized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent were $90.1 million and $256.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Genesis's long-term debt, net of cash, totaled $461.0 million and $407.8 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Genesis had liquidity of approximately $115.4 million and $132.8 million, respectively, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
We have presented below unaudited summary financial information for Genesis as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. As described above, Genesis has provided a parent guaranty of the lease obligations of its subsidiaries that are tenants under our lease agreements. The summary financial information presented below has been provided by Genesis, is unaudited and has not been independently verified by us. We have no reason to believe that such information is inaccurate in any material respect.

Other than our significant tenant concentrations, management believes our current portfolio is reasonably diversified across healthcare related real estate and geographical location and does not contain any other significant concentration of credit risks. Our portfolio of 120 real estate properties held for investment as of September 30, 2013 is diversified by location across 27 states. The properties in any one state did not account for more than 13% of the Company’s total rental revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 14% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursement Rates
Medicare reimburses skilled nursing facilities for Medicare Part A services under the Prospective Payment System (“PPS”), as implemented pursuant to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and modified pursuant to subsequent laws, most recently the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the “Affordable Care Act”). PPS regulations predetermine a payment

41

amount per patient, per day, based on a market basket index calculated for all covered costs. The amount to be paid is determined by classifying each patient into one of 66 Resource Utilization Group (“RUG”) categories that represent the level of services required to treat different conditions and levels of acuity.
The current system of 66 RUG categories, or Resource Utilization Group version IV (“RUG IV”), became effective as of October 1, 2010. RUG IV resulted from research performed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and was part of CMS's continuing effort to increase the correlation of the cost of services to the condition of individual patients.
On July 31, 2013, CMS released final fiscal year 2014 Medicare rates for skilled nursing facilities providing a net increase of 1.3% over fiscal year 2013 payments (comprised of a market basket increase of 2.3% less 0.5% for a forecast error correction and less the productivity adjustment of 0.5%).

Obligations and Commitments
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments in future years, including our Senior Notes and our mortgage indebtedness to third parties on certain of our properties that, as of September 30, 2013, totaled $142.2 million.

(2) 
Senior Notes includes interest payments through the maturity dates. Total interest on the Senior Notes is $201.9 million.
In addition to the above, we have committed to provide up to $66.8 million of construction funding for the construction of an acute care hospital. The Forest Park - Fort Worth Construction Loan has a three-year term and as of September 30, 2013, we funded $0.5 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk with respect to our indebtedness. As of September 30, 2013, this indebtedness included $411.3 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding and $142.2 million of mortgage indebtedness to third parties on certain of the properties that our subsidiaries own. As of September 30, 2013, we had $57.0 million of outstanding variable rate indebtedness. In addition, as of September 30, 2013, we had $286.5 million available for borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility. From time to time, we may borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility to finance future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly acquired properties, or for other purposes. Because borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at our option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, the interest rate we will be required to pay on any such borrowings will depend on then applicable rates and may vary. An increase in interest rates could make the financing of any acquisition by us more costly. Rising interest rates could also limit our ability to refinance our debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness. Assuming a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate related to our variable rate debt, and assuming no change in our outstanding debt balance as of September 30, 2013, interest expense would increase $0.1 million for the twelve months following September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the index underlying our variable rate mortgages was below 100 basis points and is not expected to go below zero and after giving consideration to interest rate floors imbedded in our variable rate debt agreements, interest expense would not be expected to be impacted by a decline in current interest rates.

42

We expect to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rates for our indebtedness. We also may manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings by means of interest rate swap agreements, although we are not currently a party to any swap agreements.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
