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 an ongoing qualitative analysis to determine if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. 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, and is no longer consolidated into the interim consolidated financial statements of the Company.

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 Company initially entered into a lease agreement with the real estate developer that constructed, furnished, and equipped Rose Terrace. The agreement included the right to purchase the center and all associated assets 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. On March 27, 2014, the Company exercised this purchase option and acquired the land, building, and all other assets of the Rose Terrace nursing center from the real estate developer for the contractually agreed upon price of $7,693,000.

Prior to the exercise of the purchase option, the Company had determined it was the primary beneficiary of the VIE based 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 consolidated the balance sheet and results of operations of the VIE for periods prior to the exercise of the purchase option. However, after the exercise of the purchase option, the previous owners paid the outstanding debt related to the entity in full. Subsequently, as further disclosed in Note 11, the Company sold the Rose Terrace facility and all assets associated with the facility. As a result of these events, the entity is no longer considered a VIE.
