We have investments in 26 states leased to 35 different operators.

        Owned properties are leased pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases generally with an initial term of 10 to 15 years. Each lease is a triple net lease which requires the lessee to pay all taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, capital and non-capital expenditures and other costs necessary in the operations of the facilities. Many of the leases contain renewal options. The leases provide for fixed minimum base rent during the initial and renewal periods. The majority of our leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year that are generally computed in one of four ways depending on specific provisions of each lease:

  • (i)
    a specified annual increase over the prior year's rent, generally between 2.0% and 3.0%;

    (ii)
    a calculation based on the Consumer Price Index;

    (iii)
    as a percentage of facility net patient revenues in excess of base amounts or

    (iv)
    specific dollar increases.

        Contingent rent income for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was not significant in relation to contractual base rent income.

We have investments in 9 states that include mortgages to 12 different operators.

        At December 31, 2012, the mortgage loans had interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 13.5% and maturities ranging from 2014 to 2019. In addition, the loans contain certain guarantees, provide for certain facility fees and generally have 20-year to 25-year amortization schedules. The majority of the mortgage loans provide for annual increases in the interest rate based upon a specified increase of 10 to 25 basis points. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying values of the mortgage loans were $39,299,000 and $53,081,000, respectively.

        During the year ended December 2012, we originated a $5,100,000 two-year interest-only bridge loan. The loan is secured by a 70-unit assisted living property in Pennsylvania and bears interest at 7.0% increasing annually by 1.5%. We also originated a $10,600,000 mortgage and construction loan secured by a currently operating skilled nursing property and a vacant parcel of land upon which a 106-bed replacement facility will be constructed. The term is 10 years and interest is 9.0% increasing 25 basis points annually. The agreement gives us the right to purchase the replacement facility for $13,500,000 during an 18 month period beginning on the first anniversary of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. If the purchase option is exercised, the replacement facility will be added to an existing master lease at a lease rate equivalent to the interest rate in effect on the loan at the time the purchase option is exercised. As of December 31, 2012, we funded $2,619,000 of loan proceeds and we have a remaining commitment of $7,981,000 on this mortgage and construction loan. In January and February of 2013, we funded $776,000 and $128,000, respectively, under this mortgage and construction loan and we have a remaining commitment of $7,077,000.

        During the year ended December 31, 2012, we received $2,572,000 in regularly scheduled principal payments and we received $19,061,000 plus accrued interest related to the early payoff of eleven mortgage loans secured by four skilled nursing properties and seven assisted living properties.

        During the year ended December 31, 2011, we received $3,136,000 in regularly scheduled principal payments and we received $2,831,000 plus accrued interest related to the payoff of four mortgage loans secured by one assisted living property and seven skilled nursing properties.

        During the year ended December 31, 2010, we received $3,904,000 plus accrued interest related to the payoff of five mortgage loans secured by five skilled nursing properties. We invested $72,000 in a mortgage loan for capital improvements and $1,622,000 in a mortgage loan secured by a skilled nursing property to finance an expansion of the property and extend the loan maturity for an additional five years. We received $4,499,000 in regularly scheduled principal payments

        Also, during the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a $1,235,000 provision for doubtful accounts charge for two mortgage loans (one secured by a private school property in Minnesota and one secured by land in Oklahoma). We acquired the school property via deed-in-lieu of foreclosure as a result of the borrower filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. During 2011, we leased the school to a non-for-profit corporation providing therapeutic support and intensive home, school and center-based behavioral therapy for children, youth and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders.
