LTC Properties, Inc., a health care real estate investment trust (“REIT”), was incorporated on May 12, 1992 in the State of Maryland and commenced operations on August 25, 1992. We invest primarily in seniors housing and health care properties primarily through sale-leaseback transactions, mortgage financing and structured finance solutions including mezzanine lending. We conduct and manage our business as one operating segment, rather than multiple operating segments, for internal reporting and internal decision-making purposes. Our primary objectives are to create, sustain and enhance stockholder equity value and provide current income for distribution to stockholders through real estate investments in seniors housing and health care properties managed by experienced operators. Our primary seniors housing and health care property classifications include skilled nursing centers (“SNF”), assisted living communities (“ALF”), independent living communities (“ILF”), memory care communities (“MC”) and combinations thereof. To meet these objectives, we attempt to invest in properties that provide opportunity for additional value and current returns to our stockholders and diversify our investment portfolio by geographic location, operator, property classification and form of investment.

We have prepared consolidated financial statements included herein without audit and in the opinion of management have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations governing the presentation of interim financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Our company qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As such, we generally are not taxed on income that is distributed to our stockholders.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases, which is codified under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as ASC Topic 842, Leases. Among other changes, ASU 2016-02 amends the previous accounting for lessors to:

As a result of adopting ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition approach, we evaluated the collectibility of our lease payments and determined that the level of collectibility certainty cannot be achieved for certain operators. Accordingly, we recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to equity of $42,808,000. Additionally, we now report real estate taxes that are reimbursed by our operators as Rental income with a corresponding Property tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Furthermore, we assess the collectibility of substantially all of our lease payments through maturity and if collectibility is not probable, all or a portion of our straight-line rent receivable and other lease receivables may be written off and the rental income during the period would be limited to the lesser of the income that would have been recognized if collection were probable, and the lease payments received. Our assessment of collectibility of leases includes evaluating the data and assumptions used in determining whether substantially all of the future lease payments were probable based on the lessee’s payment history, the financial strength of the lessees, future contractual rents, and the timing of expected payments.

In April 2020, the FASB staff released guidance regarding accounting for lease concessions in response to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The FASB staff guidance indicates that lessors could elect an accounting policy to not evaluate whether rent concessions provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications. When only the timing of payments is impacted by the rent deferrals, but the amount of the consideration is substantially the same as required by the original lease agreement, the FASB listed two methods for lessors to account for the rent deferrals. We elected the first of the following two methods:

●	Account for the rent deferrals as if there were no changes made to the lease agreement. Accordingly, increase the lease receivable and continue to recognize income.

●	Account for the rent deferrals as variable lease payments.

In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard requires a new forward looking “expected loss” model to be used for receivables, held-to-maturity debt, loans, and other instruments. When shared risk characteristics exist, ASU 2016-13 requires a collective basis measurement of expected credit losses of the financial assets. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019.

We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 and determined our Mortgage loans receivable and Notes receivable are within the scope of this ASU. We utilize the probability of default and discounted cash flow methods to estimate expected credit losses. Additionally, we stress-tested the results to reflect the impact of unknown adverse future events including recessions. We concluded that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our financial statements at June 30, 2020.

The expected credit losses for our financial instruments that are within the scope of ASU 2016-13 are as follows (in thousands):


				Increase
				/(Decrease)
		Balance		in Expected		Balance
	Balance Sheet	at		Credit Loss		at
Description	Location	12/31/2019		During the Quarter		6/30/2020
Expected credit losses for mortgage loans receivable	Mortgage loans receivable, net of loan loss reserve	$	2,560	$	20	$	2,580
Expected credit losses for notes receivable	Notes receivable, net of loan loss reserve	$	181	$	(18)	$	163

We elected not to measure an allowance for expected credit losses on accrued interest receivables as we have a policy in place to reserve or write off accrued interest receivables in a timely manner through our quarterly review of the loan and property performance. Therefore, we elected the policy to write off accrued interest receivables by reversing interest income and/or recognizing credit loss expense. As of June 30, 2020, the total balance of accrued interest receivables of $29,701,000 was not included in the measurement of expected credit loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, Company did not recognize any write-off related to accrued interest receivables.
