CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The interim consolidated financial statements include the operations and accounts of Advocat 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 has one variable interest entity and it relates to a nursing center in West Virginia described in Note 8. The Investment in unconsolidated affiliate (a 50 percent owned joint venture partnership) is accounted for using the equity method and is described in Note 8.

The interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, 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 September 30, 2012 and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 was derived from its audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011. Certain amounts in the Company's 2011 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation.

The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
