The other receivables and advances balance are composed of $843,000 and $982,000 related to renovation projects funded by Omega at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. See Note 12 for additional discussion of these receivables and leased facility construction projects.

Our accounts receivable at December 31, 2013 included approximately $5.1 million of accounts for the newly leased facility in Louisville, Kentucky for which we assumed operations in August 2013, and also the four facilities, three in Ohio and one in Indiana, for which we assumed operations in October 2013. During the change of ownership process, we are required to hold these accounts while waiting for final Medicare and Medicaid approvals. We expect these accounts to be collectible as soon as we are able to submit them for payment.

The Company provides credit for a substantial portion of its revenues and continually monitors the credit-worthiness and collectability from its patients, including proper documentation of third-party coverage. The Company is subject to accounting losses from uncollectible receivables in excess of its reserves.

Substantially all receivables are pledged as collateral on the Company's debt obligations.
