VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

Accounting guidance requires that a variable interest entity (“VIE”) must be consolidated by the primary beneficiary in accordance with the provisions set forth in FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, as mentioned in Note 2 above. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We perform ongoing qualitative analysis to determine if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. At June 30, 2013, we are the primary beneficiary of one VIE, and therefore, consolidate that entity.

Rose Terrace Health and Rehabilitation Center

On December 28, 2011, the Company completed construction of Rose Terrace Health and Rehabilitation Center (“Rose Terrace”), its third health care center in West Virginia. The 90-bed skilled nursing center is located in Culloden, West Virginia, along the Huntington-Charleston corridor, and offers 24-hour skilled nursing care designed to meet the care needs of both short and long-term nursing patients. The Rose Terrace nursing center utilizes a Certificate of Need the Company obtained in June 2009, when the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of a skilled nursing center in West Virginia. The nursing center is licensed to operate by the state of West Virginia.

The Company has a lease agreement with the real estate developer that constructed, furnished, and equipped Rose Terrace that provides an initial lease term of 20 years and the option to renew the lease for two additional five-year periods. The agreement provides the Company the right to purchase the center beginning at the end of the first year of the initial term of the lease and continuing through the fifth year for a purchase price ranging from 110% to 120% of the total project cost.

The Company has no equity interest in the entity that constructed the new facility and does not guarantee any debt obligations of the entity. The owners of the facility have provided guarantees of the debt of the entity and, based on those guarantees, the entity is considered to be a VIE. The Company owns the underlying Certificate of Need that is required for operation as a skilled nursing center. During 2011, the Company determined it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based primarily on the ownership of the Certificate of Need, the fixed price purchase option described above, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and the right to receive potentially significant benefits from the VIE. Accordingly, as the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the balance sheet and results of operations of the VIE.
