CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The interim consolidated financial statements include the operations and accounts of Diversicare Healthcare Services and its subsidiaries, all wholly-owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company has an interest are consolidated when the Company identifies that it is the primary beneficiary. The Company had one variable interest entity related to a nursing center in West Virginia that was dissolved in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of the asset purchase of the Rose Terrace nursing center as further described in Note 8, and is no longer consolidated into the interim consolidated financial statements of the Company. The investment in an unconsolidated affiliate (a 50 percent-owned joint venture partnership) is accounted for using the equity method and is described in Note 9.

The interim consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2014, and the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s balance sheet information at December 31, 2013, was derived from its audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013.

The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for a full year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
