Real Estate Investments

Assisted living communities, independent living communities, memory care communities and combinations thereof are included in the assisted living property classification (collectively “ALF”).

Any reference to the number of properties or facilities, number of units, number of beds, number of operators and yield on investments in real estate are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Owned Properties. Our 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 percentage increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 2.0% and 2.5%;
(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.

Our leases that contain fixed annual rental escalations and/or have annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index, are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease period. Certain leases have annual rental escalations that are contingent upon changes in the gross operating revenues of the property. This revenue is not recognized until the appropriate contingencies have been resolved.

(1)Represents contractual cash rent, except for Anthem Memory Care (“Anthem”) master lease which is based on estimated cash payments. See below for more disclosure relating to Anthem.

An affiliate of Senior Lifestyle Corporation (“Senior Lifestyle”) operates 23 properties under a master lease with a combination of independent living, assisted living and memory care units. Senior Lifestyle was provided deferral of partial rent in April 2020 and failed to pay full rent during the second quarter of 2020. In accordance with ASC 842, we evaluated the collectibility of receiving substantially all of our lease payments from the Senior Lifestyle master lease through maturity and determined that we did not have the level of certainty required by the standard. Accordingly, we wrote-off a total $17,742,000 of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentives related to this master lease during the second quarter of 2020 and we accounted for the Senior Lifestyle master lease on a cash basis effective July 2020. Contractual rent for April through September 2020 was $9,121,000 of which we collected $5,325,000. In October 2020, we received $1,341,000 of their contractual rent of $1,561,000. The outstanding accounts receivable balance on our Consolidated Balance Sheets of $2,670,000 is covered by a letter of credit and security deposit totaling $3,608,000. We continue to evaluate the collectibility of our Senior Lifestyle master lease quarterly. Additionally, we are evaluating our options for the portfolio which may include a combination of re-leasing and selling some or all of the properties.

During the third quarter of 2020, an operator paid $542,000 of its contractual rent of $1,299,000. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, we consolidated our two master leases with the operator into one combined master lease. Under the new combined master lease, we agreed to abate $570,000 of third quarter rent along with $80,000 that had been deferred in second quarter of 2020, totaling $650,000. Additionally, the new combined master lease allows the operator to defer rent as needed through March 31, 2021. In September 2020, the operator deferred $186,000 of its $374,000 contractual rent. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded an impairment charge of $941,000 related to an assisted living community that was operated by the operator. The community was closed in October 2020 and we are evaluating our options for this community. In accordance with ASC 842, we evaluated the collectibility of receiving substantially all of our lease payments under our master lease with the operator through maturity and determined that we did not have the level of certainty required by the standard. Accordingly, we wrote-off $1,156,000 of straight-line rent receivable related to this master lease during the third quarter of 2020.

On August 10, 2020, in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Genesis Healthcare, Inc. (“Genesis”) reported doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, in accordance with ASC 842, we evaluated the collectibility of receiving substantially all of our lease payments from the Genesis master lease through maturity and determined that we did not have the level of certainty required by the standard. Accordingly, we wrote-off $4,316,000 of straight-line rent receivable related to this master lease during the third quarter of 2020. Genesis is current on rent payments through October 2020.

Anthem operates 11 memory care communities under a master lease and was placed in default in 2017 resulting from Anthem’s partial payment of its minimum rent. However, we did not enforce our rights and remedies pertaining to the event of default, under the stipulation that Anthem achieves sufficient performance and pays agreed upon rent. In accordance with ASC 842 lease accounting guidance, at January 1, 2019, we evaluated the collectibility of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances related to Anthem and determined that it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligations through maturity. Accordingly, we wrote-off the balances to equity as of January 1, 2019, as required by the ASC 842 transition guidance. We continue to evaluate the collectibility of our Anthem master lease on a quarterly basis. We currently anticipate that Anthem will pay $9,900,000 of annual cash rent during 2020. However, COVID-19 may adversely impact Anthem’s operating cash flow and ability to pay rent. Anthem is current on 2020 rent payments through October 2020.

Preferred Care, Inc. (“Preferred Care”) and affiliated entities filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2017 as a result of a multi-million-dollar judgment in a lawsuit in Kentucky against Preferred Care and certain affiliated entities. Preferred Care leased 24 properties (“Properties”) under two master leases from us and the Preferred Care operating entities that sublease those Properties did not file for bankruptcy. In accordance with ASC 842 lease accounting guidance, at January 1, 2019, we evaluated the collectibility of straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balances related to Preferred Care and determined it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligations through maturity. Accordingly, we wrote-off the balances to equity as of January 1, 2019, as required by the ASC 842 transition guidance. Preferred Care did not affirm our master leases and subsequently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2019.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, we entered into multiple contracts to sell the Properties, all of which were completed during the first quarter of 2020. The combined net proceeds from the sales, including the 2019 transactions, was approximately $77,900,000 resulting in a total gain of approximately $44,000,000. The Properties had a combined net book value of $35,600,000. The 21 properties sold in the first quarter of 2020, which included 2,411 beds in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas and Texas, were sold through multiple transactions and generated net proceeds of approximately $72,100,000. These 21 properties had a combined net book value of $29,100,000 and resulted in total gain on sale of $44,073,000.

Senior Care Centers, LLC and affiliates and subsidiaries (“Senior Care”) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as a result of lease terminations from certain landlords and on-going operational challenges in December 2018. Senior Care did not pay us December 2018 rent and accordingly, in December 2018, we placed Senior Care on a cash basis. In accordance with ASC 842 lease accounting guidance, at January 1, 2019, we evaluated the collectibility of the straight-line rent receivable and lease incentive balance related to Senior Care and determined it was not probable that we would collect substantially all of the contractual lease obligations through maturity. Accordingly, we wrote-off the balances to equity as of January 1, 2019, as required by the ASC 842 transition guidance. During 2019, we received a court ordered reimbursement from Senior Care for the December 2018 unpaid rent, late fees and legal costs totaling $1,596,000. In March 2020, Senior Care emerged from bankruptcy and affirmed our master lease. We continue to evaluate the collectibility of our Senior Care master lease on a quarterly basis. Senior Care is current on all its rent, real estate property tax escrow and maintenance deposits through October 2020.

During the third quarter of 2020, we consolidated our four leases with Brookdale Senior Living Communities, Inc (“Brookdale”) into one master lease and extended the term by one year to December 31, 2021. The master lease provides three renewal options consisting of a four-year renewal option, a five-year renewal option and a 10-year renewal option. The notice period for the first renewal option is January 1, 2021 to April 30, 2021. The economic terms of rent remain the same as the consolidated rent terms under the previous four separate lease agreements.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with regard to COVID-19. As required by ASC 842, we assess the collectibility of our lease payments through maturity on a quarterly basis. At September 30, 2020, in conjunction with the continued levels of uncertainty related to the adverse effects of COVID-19, we assessed the probability of collecting substantially all of our lease payments through maturity and concluded that we did not have sufficient information available to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the collectibility of our lease payments. The extent to which COVID-19 could impact our operators and the collectibility of our future lease payments will depend on the future developments including the financial impact significance and the duration of the pandemic. We will continue to evaluate the collectibility of our lease payments through maturity on a quarterly basis, including the financial impact of COVID-19. If we determine that we do not have the level of collectibility certainty required by ASC 842 related to certain operators, all or a portion of our straight-

line rent receivable and other lease receivables will be written-off. In recognition of the unique conditions affecting our operators, we have agreed to rent deferrals for certain operators totaling $1,176,000, or 1.5% of contractual rent, for April through September 2020. Additionally, we granted rent deferrals of $566,000 for October 2020. Through October 2020, we have received $553,000 of rent deferral payments. The remaining $1,189,000 balance of deferred rent is due to LTC over the next 24 months or upon the operators’ receipt of government funds from the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ACT (the “CARES Act”).

(1)Represents cost associated with our acquisitions; however, upon adoption of ASU 2017-01, our acquisitions meet the definition of an asset acquisition resulting in capitalization of transaction costs to the properties’ basis. For our land purchases with forward development commitments, transaction costs are capitalized as part of construction in progress. Transaction costs per our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income represents current and prior year transaction costs due to timing and terminated transactions.

(2)We acquired a SNF located in Texas.

(3)We entered into a joint venture (“JV”) (consolidated on our financial statements) to purchase an existing operational 74-unit ALF/MC community. The non-controlling partner contributed $919 of equity and we contributed $15,971 in cash. Our economic interest in the real estate JV is approximately 95%.

(4)We acquired a newly constructed 90-bed SNF located in Missouri.

(5)We acquired a parcel of land adjacent to an existing SNF in California. Additionally, we acquired a parcel of land and developed a 90-bed SNF in Missouri. The commitment totals approximately $17,400.
