HEALTH CARE REIT, INC.

  NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Business

 

     Health Care REIT, Inc., an S&P 500 company with headquarters in Toledo, Ohio, is an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in seniors housing and health care real estate. Our full service platform also offers property management and development services to our customers. As of September 30, 2012, our broadly diversified portfolio consisted of 1,030 properties in 46 states, the United Kingdom and Canada.  Founded in 1970, we were the first real estate investment trust to invest exclusively in health care facilities.

 

2. Accounting Policies and Related Matters

Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2012.

New Accounting Standards

     In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” (“ASU 2011-04”), which requires incremental fair value disclosures in the notes to the financial statements.  We have adopted ASU 2011-04 effective January 1, 2012.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.  

     In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), which requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income.  We have adopted ASU 2011-05 effective January 1, 2012 and presented total comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.  Further disclosures including reconciliation from net income to total comprehensive income will be required on an annual basis.  The provisions of ASU No. 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05” delayed the requirement to present certain reclassifications on the face of the financial statements.

3. Real Property Acquisition and Development

     Seniors Housing Triple-net Activity

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we completed the acquisition of 49 seniors housing triple-net properties.  The total purchase price for the communities acquired has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based upon their respective fair values in accordance with our accounting policies.  Also during the three months ended March 31, 2012, we finalized our purchase price allocation of the previously acquired Genesis HealthCare Corporation real estate assets. There were no material changes in the Genesis purchase accounting allocation from those previously disclosed in Note 3 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2012.  The following summarizes our purchase price allocations and other seniors housing triple-net real property investment activity for the periods presented (in thousands):

  NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

     Seniors Housing Operating Activity

     Under the provisions of the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (“RIDEA”), for taxable years beginning after July 30, 2008, we may lease “qualified health care properties” on an arm’s-length basis to our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) if the property is operated on behalf of such subsidiary by a person who qualifies as an eligible independent contractor (“EIK”). A “qualified health care property” includes real property and any personal property that is, or is necessary or incidental to the use of, a hospital, nursing facility, assisted living facility, congregate care facility, qualified continuing care facility, or other licensed facility which extends medical or nursing or ancillary services to patients. The “qualified health care properties” are operated by an EIK under a management agreement.  The lease agreement required under RIDEA between us and our TRS is eliminated for accounting purposes in consolidation.  All of our seniors housing operating properties are structured under RIDEA.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we completed the acquisition of 53 seniors housing operating properties. Certain of our subsidiaries’ functional currencies are the local currencies of their respective countries. We translate the results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars using average rates of exchange in effect during the period, and we translate balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. We record resulting currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity, on our balance sheet.  The total purchase price for the properties acquired has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based upon their respective fair values in accordance with our accounting policies.  The following is a summary of our seniors housing operating real property investment activity for the periods presented (in thousands):

5. Dispositions, Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold 42 properties for net gains of $46,046,000.  Of our total sale proceeds, $152,495,000 was deposited in an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 exchange escrow account with a qualified intermediary and, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we used $84,243,000 of the deposited proceeds for acquisitions.  At September 30, 2012, we had 31 seniors housing facilities that satisfied the requirements for held for sale treatment and such properties were properly recorded at the lesser of their estimated fair value less costs to sell or carrying value.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded an impairment charge of $6,952,000 related to five held for sale seniors housing triple-net facilities to adjust the carrying values to estimated fair values less cost to sell based on current sales price expectations.

During our third quarter loan loss evaluation, new factors arose including change in intent regarding collateral and updated appraisal that, under the circumstances, resulted in the determination to write-off $27,008,000 of loans. Additionally, at September 30, 2012, we had real estate loans with outstanding balances of $13,035,000 on non-accrual status with an allowance for loan losses of $0.

 

7. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

 

     During the year ended December 31, 2010, we entered into a joint venture investment with Forest City Enterprises (NYSE:FCE.A and FCE.B). We acquired a 49% interest in a seven-building life science campus located at University Park in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is immediately adjacent to the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  At September 30, 2012, our investment of $176,579,000 is recorded as an investment in unconsolidated entities on the balance sheet.  The results of operations for these properties have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition by the joint venture and are reflected in our statement of comprehensive income as income from unconsolidated entities.  The aggregate remaining unamortized basis difference of our investment in this joint venture of $1,791,000 at September 30, 2012 is primarily attributable to real estate and related intangible assets and will be amortized over the life of the related properties and included in the reported amount of income from unconsolidated entities.

 

     During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we entered into a joint venture with Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT (TSX:CSH.UN).  The portfolio contains 42 properties in Canada, 39 of which are owned 50% by the company and Chartwell, and three of which the company wholly owns.  In connection with the 39 properties, we invested $223,134,000 of cash which was recorded as an investment in unconsolidated entities on the balance sheet. The 39 properties are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and do not qualify as VIEs (variable interest entities). The joint venture is structured under RIDEA.

 

     In addition, at September 30, 2012, we had other investments in unconsolidated entities with our ownership ranging from 10% to 50%.

9. Borrowings Under Line of Credit Arrangements and Related Items

     At September 30, 2012, we had a $2,000,000,000 unsecured line of credit arrangement with a consortium of 31 banks with an option to upsize the facility by up to an additional $500,000,000 through an accordion feature, allowing for the aggregate commitment of up to $2,500,000,000.  The revolving credit facility is scheduled to expire July 27, 2015.  Borrowings under the agreement are subject to interest payable in periods no longer than three months at either the agent bank’s prime rate of interest or the applicable margin over LIBOR interest rate, at our option (1.57% at September 30, 2012). The applicable margin is based on certain of our debt ratings and was 1.35% at September 30, 2012. In addition, we pay a facility fee annually to each bank based on the bank’s commitment amount. The facility fee depends on certain of our debt ratings and was 0.25% at September 30, 2012. Principal is due upon expiration of the agreement.  In addition, at September 30, 2012, we had a $5,000,000 unsecured revolving demand note undrawn and bearing interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 110 basis points.

     The following information relates to aggregate borrowings under the unsecured line of credit arrangements for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

     Our debt agreements contain various covenants, restrictions and events of default. Certain agreements require us to maintain certain financial ratios and minimum net worth and impose certain limits on our ability to incur indebtedness, create liens and make investments or acquisitions. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt agreements.

 

11. Derivative Instruments

     We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates.  We may elect to use financial derivative instruments to hedge such interest rate exposures. These decisions are principally based on our policy to manage the general trend in interest rates at the applicable dates and our perception of the future volatility of interest rates.  In addition, non-U.S. investments expose us to the potential losses associated with adverse changes in foreign currency to U.S. Dollar exchange rates.  We elected to manage this risk through the use of a forward exchange contracts. 

     Derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities.  The valuation of derivative instruments requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the fair value of the instruments.  Fair values of our interest rate swap agreements are estimated by pricing models that consider the forward yield curves and discount rates.  The fair value of our forward exchange contracts are estimated by pricing models that consider foreign currency spot rates, forward trade rates and discount rates.  Such amounts and the recognition of such amounts are subject to significant estimates that may change in the future.

 

Interest Rate Swap Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

     For instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”), and reclassified into earnings in the same period, or periods, during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings.  As of September 30, 2012, we had five interest rate swaps for a total aggregate notional amount of $101,040,000.  The swaps hedge interest payments associated with long-term LIBOR based borrowings and mature between December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013.   Approximately $1,974,000 of losses,

  NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months.

Foreign Currency Hedges

      On February 15, 2012, we entered into a forward exchange contract to purchase $250,000,000 Canadian Dollars at a fixed rate in the future.  The forward contract was used to limit exposure to fluctuations in the Canadian Dollar to U.S. Dollar exchange rate associated with our initial cash investment funded for the Chartwell transaction.  On May 3, 2012, this forward exchange contract was settled for a gain of $2,772,000 and the proceeds were used to fund our investment.    On May 3, 2012, we also entered into a forward contract to sell $250,000,000 Canadian dollars at a fixed rate on July 31, 2012. We settled the forward contract on July 31, 2012 with the net loss reflected in OCI. Upon settlement of the forward contract we entered into a $250,000,000 Canadian Dollar term loan which has been designated as a net investment hedge of our Chartwell investment and changes in fair value are reported in OCI as no ineffectiveness is anticipated.

     On August 30, 2012, we entered into two cross currency swaps to purchase $125,000,000 Pound Sterling.  The swaps were used to limit exposure to fluctuations in the Pound Sterling to U.S. Dollar exchange rate associated with our initial cash investment funded for the Sunrise transaction discussed in Note 12. The cross currency swaps have been designated as a net investment hedge, and changes in fair value are reported in OCI as no ineffectiveness is anticipated.

     On September 17, 2012, we entered into two forward exchange contracts to purchase $14,000,000 Canadian Dollars and $23,000,000 Pound Sterling at a fixed rate in the future.  The forward contracts were used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency associated with the Sunrise transaction discussed in Note 12.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

     At September 30, 2012, we had nine outstanding letter of credit obligations totaling $7,172,000 and expiring between 2013 and 2014.

     At September 30, 2012, we had outstanding construction in process of $219,705,000 for leased properties and were committed to providing additional funds of approximately $217,015,000 to complete construction. At September 30, 2012, we had contingent purchase obligations totaling $76,933,000. These contingent purchase obligations relate to unfunded capital improvement obligations and contingent obligations on acquisitions. Rents due from the tenant are increased to reflect the additional investment in the property.

     We evaluate our leases for operating versus capital lease treatment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 840 “Leases.”  A lease is classified as a capital lease if it provides for transfer of ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, contains a bargain purchase option, has a lease term greater than 75% of the economic life of the leased asset, or if the net present value of the future minimum lease payments are in excess of 90% of the fair value of the leased asset. Certain leases contain bargain purchase options and have been classified as capital leases.  At September 30, 2012, we had operating lease obligations of

$528,685,000 relating to certain ground leases and company office space and capital lease obligations of $88,143,000 relating to certain investment properties. We incurred rental expense relating to company office space of $330,000 and $931,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $341,000 and $1,472,000 for the same periods in 2011. Regarding ground leases, we have sublease agreements with certain of our operators that require the operators to reimburse us for our monthly operating lease obligations. At September 30, 2012, aggregate future minimum rentals to be received under these noncancelable subleases totaled $48,514,000.

     

Sunrise Merger

     In August 2012, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. (“Sunrise”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire Sunrise in an all-cash merger (the “Merger”) in which Sunrise stockholders would receive $14.50 in cash for each share of Sunrise common stock. The total estimated purchase price of approximately $1,920,000,000 is comprised of the $950,000,000 cash consideration and $970,000,000 of assumed debt and excludes fair value and other purchase price accounting adjustments.  The closing of the Merger, which is expected to occur in early 2013, is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including adoption of the Merger Agreement by Sunrise's stockholders, expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and the completion in all material respects of certain reorganization transactions being undertaken in connection with the Management Business Sale (described below).

     Subsequent to the original announcement, we, in collaboration with Sunrise, have acquired or reached agreement to acquire majority interests in certain joint venture properties, which has increased the expected purchase price to approximately $3,170,200,000, which is comprised of $664,100,000 of incremental cash consideration and $586,100,000 of  incremental assumed debt. We completed the acquisition of several joint venture properties in the United Kingdom for approximately $243,474,000 of cash consideration during the three months ended September 30, 2012. Sunrise has acquired majority interests in certain other joint venture properties using proceeds from a $462,500,000 loan provided by us that funded subsequent to September 30, 2012 and will be converted to ownership by us upon completion of the Merger.

     In connection with the Merger Agreement, Sunrise has agreed to sell its management business and certain additional assets and liabilities (the “Management Business Sale”) to Red Fox Management, LP (the “Management Business Buyer”). Under the Merger Agreement, the Management Business Sale is to take place immediately prior to the Merger. We will invest approximately $26,000,000 for a 20% interest in the Management Business Buyer.

     All amounts relating to the Merger that have not yet closed are preliminary estimates, are subject to downward or upward adjustment, and are subject to change. Furthermore, certain of the estimated incremental Sunrise investments, including the acquisition of properties in the United Kingdom, are based on exchange rates in effect as of the time of the estimate. Our anticipated Merger may not be completed on currently anticipated terms, or within currently anticipated timeframes, or at all.

14. Stock Incentive Plans

     Our Amended and Restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan authorizes up to 6,200,000 shares of common stock to be issued at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The 2005 Plan replaced the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan and the Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The options granted to officers and key employees under the 1995 Plan continued to vest through 2010 and expire ten years from the date of grant. Our non-employee directors, officers and key employees are eligible to participate in the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan allows for the issuance of, among other things, stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock units and dividend equivalent rights. Vesting periods for options, deferred stock units and restricted shares generally range from three years for non-employee directors to five years for officers and key employees. Options expire ten years from the date of grant.  Stock-based compensation expense totaled $2,592,000 and $ 16,229,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $1,767,000 and $ 9,041,000 for the three and nine months ended in September 30, 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to the impact of special non-cash retention and performance based stock awards for executive officers.

16. Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

 

Mortgage Loans and Other Real Estate Loans Receivable — The fair value of mortgage loans and other real estate loans receivable is generally estimated by using level two and level three inputs such as discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Available-for-sale Equity Investments — Available-for-sale equity investments are recorded at their fair value based on level one publicly available trading prices.

 

Borrowings Under Unsecured Line of Credit Arrangements — The carrying amount of the unsecured line of credit arrangements approximates fair value because the borrowings are interest rate adjustable.

 

Senior Unsecured Notes — The fair value of the senior unsecured notes payable was estimated based on level one publicly available trading prices.

 

Secured Debt — The fair value of fixed rate secured debt is estimated using level two inputs by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.  The carrying amount of variable rate secured debt approximates fair value because the borrowings are interest rate adjustable.

 

Interest Rate Swap Agreements — Interest rate swap agreements are recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair market value.  Fair market value is estimated using level two inputs by utilizing pricing models that consider forward yield curves and discount rates.

 

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts — Foreign currency forward contracts are recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair market value.  Fair market value is determined using level two inputs by estimating the future value of the currency pair based on existing exchange rates, comprised of current spot and traded forward points, and present valuing the net amount using a discount factor based on observable traded interest rates.

HEALTH CARE REIT, INC.

  NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

U.S. GAAP provides authoritative guidance for measuring and disclosing fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  The guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

     The market approach is utilized to measure fair value for our financial assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis.  The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we also have assets and liabilities on our balance sheet that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  As these assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, they are not included in the table above. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations (see Note 3) and asset impairments (see Note 5 for impairments of real property and Note 6 for impairments of loans receivable). We have determined that the fair value measurements included in each of these assets and liabilities rely primarily on company-specific inputs and our assumptions about the use of the assets and settlement of liabilities, as observable inputs are not available. As such, we have determined that each of these fair value measurements generally reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We estimate the fair value of real estate and related intangibles using the income approach and unobservable data such as net operating income and estimated capitalization and discount rates.  We also consider local and national industry market data including comparable sales, and commonly engage an external real estate appraiser to assist us in our estimation of fair value.  We estimate the fair value of secured debt assumed in business combinations using current interest rates at which similar borrowings could be obtained on the transaction date.

17. Segment Reporting

     We invest in seniors housing and health care real estate. We evaluate our business and make resource allocations within our three business segments: seniors housing triple-net, seniors housing operating and medical facilities.

     Our seniors housing triple-net properties include skilled nursing/post-acute facilities, assisted living facilities, independent living/continuing care retirement communities and combinations thereof. Under the seniors housing triple-net segment, we invest in seniors housing and health care real estate through acquisition and financing of primarily single tenant properties.   Properties acquired are primarily leased under triple-net leases and we are not involved in the management of the property. Our seniors housing operating properties include assisted living facilities and independent living/continuing care retirement communities that are owned and operated through RIDEA (see Note 3) partnership structures. 

     Our primary medical facility properties include medical office buildings, hospitals and life science buildings.  Our medical office buildings are typically leased to multiple tenants and generally require a certain level of property management. Our hospital investments are structured similar to our seniors housing triple-net investments.  Our life science investments represent investments in an unconsolidated entity (see Note 7 for additional information). 

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2012.) The results of operations for all acquisitions described in Note 3 are included in our consolidated results of operations from the acquisition dates and are components of the appropriate segments.  There are no intersegment sales or transfers.

     We evaluate performance based upon net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) of each segment. We define NOI as total revenues, including tenant reimbursements, less property level operating expenses, which exclude depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, transaction costs, impairments and interest expense. We believe NOI provides investors relevant and useful information because it measures the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our properties. 

     Non-segment revenue consists mainly of interest income on non-real estate investments and other income. Non-segment assets consist of corporate assets including cash, deferred loan expenses and corporate offices and equipment among others. Non-property specific revenues and expenses are not allocated to individual segments in determining net operating income.

     Summary information for the reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows (in thousands):

HEALTH CARE REIT, INC.

  NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

18. Income Taxes and Distributions

 

     To qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes, at least 90% of taxable income (excluding 100% of net capital gains) must be distributed to stockholders. Real estate investment trusts that do not distribute a certain amount of current year taxable income in the current year are also subject to a 4% federal excise tax. The main differences between undistributed net income for federal income tax purposes and financial statement purposes are the recognition of straight-line rent for reporting purposes, basis differences in acquisitions, differing useful lives and depreciation and amortization methods for real property and the provision for loan losses for reporting purposes versus bad debt expense for tax purposes.  At September 30, 2012, we continued to qualify as a real estate investment trust, and no federal provision has been reflected due to distributions made to stockholders of at least 100% of taxable income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

     At September 30, 2012, we had $5,789,000 of U.S. federal and foreign tax losses from our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), and no apportioned state tax losses available for carry-forward.  Income tax expense reflected in the financial statements primarily represents state and local income taxes as well as amounts related to uncertain tax positions as discussed below and non-U.S. income taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside the U.S.

 

     As a result of certain acquisitions, we are subject to corporate level taxes for related asset dispositions for the period September 30, 2012 through June 30, 2021 (“built-in gains tax”). The amount of income potentially subject to this special corporate level tax is generally equal to the lesser of (a) the excess of the fair value of the asset over its adjusted tax basis as of the date it became a REIT asset, or (b) the actual amount of gain. Some but not all gains recognized during this period of time could be offset by available net operating losses and capital loss carry-forwards. We have not recorded a deferred tax liability as a result of the potential built-in gains tax based on our intentions with respect to such properties and available tax planning strategies.

 

We apply the rules under ASC 740-10 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” for uncertain tax positions using a “more likely than not” recognition threshold for tax positions. Pursuant to these rules, we will initially recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the tax position, that such a position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant tax authorities. If the tax benefit meets the “more likely than not” threshold, the measurement of the tax benefit will be based on our estimate of the ultimate tax benefit to be sustained if audited by the taxing authority.

 

     The balance of our unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2012 was $6,468,000 (exclusive of accrued interest and penalties).   A significant portion of this balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2012, $6,141,000 (exclusive of accrued interest and penalties), relates to the April 1, 2011 Genesis transaction and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.  As part of the Genesis acquisition, we received full indemnification from FC-GEN Operations Investment, LLC covering income taxes or other taxes as well as  interest and penalties relating to tax positions taken by FC-GEN Operations Investment, LLC prior to the acquisition.  As of September 30, 2012, we had $8,530,000 reserved for uncertain tax positions related to the Genesis transaction pursuant to ASC 740-10 inclusive of interest and penalties, and had recorded an offsetting indemnification asset for the same amount in receivables and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.  Such indemnification asset is reviewed for collectability periodically.  We have estimated that an additional $8,952,000 could be subject to collection under the indemnification agreement provided an unfavorable assessment is made relating to income tax positions that we currently believe are more likely than not to be sustained.

 

     There was $206,000 of uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2012 for which it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits would decrease during 2013.  Interest and penalties totaled $229,000 and $731,000 in expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and were recorded as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income with an offsetting amount recorded in other income relating to the increase in the indemnification asset. As of September 30, 2012, $2,378,000 of interest and penalties were accrued related to income taxes.

Health Care Industry

 

     The demand for health care services, and consequently health care properties, is projected to reach unprecedented levels in the near future. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) projects that national health expenditures will rise to $3.3 trillion in 2015 or 18.2% of gross domestic product (“GDP”). The average annual growth in national health expenditures for 2011 through 2021 is expected to be 5.9%.

 

     While demographics are the primary driver of demand, economic conditions and availability of services contribute to health care service utilization rates. We believe the health care property market may be less susceptible to fluctuations and economic downturns relative to other property sectors. Investor interest in the market remains strong, especially in specific sectors such as private-pay senior living and medical office buildings. As a REIT, we believe we are situated to benefit from any turbulence in the capital markets due to our access to capital.

 

     The total U.S. population is projected to increase by 18.6% through 2030. The elderly population aged 65 and over is projected to increase by 78.3% through 2030. The elderly are an important component of health care utilization, especially independent living services, assisted living services, skilled nursing services, inpatient and outpatient hospital services and physician ambulatory care. Most health care services are provided within a health care facility such as a hospital, a physician’s office or a seniors housing community.

     Health care real estate investment opportunities tend to increase as demand for health care services increases.  We recognize the need for health care real estate as it correlates to health care service demand.  Health care providers require real estate to house their businesses and expand their services.  We believe that investment opportunities in health care real estate will continue to be present due to:

·         The specialized nature of the industry, which enhances the credibility and experience of our company;

·         The projected population growth combined with stable or increasing health care utilization rates, which ensures demand; and

·         The on-going merger and acquisition activity.

  

Health Reform Laws

 

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the “PPACA”) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which amends the PPACA (collectively, the “Health Reform Laws”). The Health Reform Laws contain various provisions that may directly impact us or the operators and tenants of our properties. Some provisions of the Health Reform Laws may have a positive impact on our operators’ or tenants’ revenues, by, for example, increasing coverage of uninsured individuals, while others may have a negative impact on the reimbursement of our operators or tenants by, for example, altering the market basket adjustments for certain types of health care facilities. The Health Reform Laws also enhance certain fraud and abuse penalty provisions that could apply to our operators and tenants, in the event of one or more violations of the federal health care regulatory laws. In addition, there are provisions that impact the health coverage that we and our operators and tenants provide to our respective employees.   We cannot predict whether the existing Health Reform Laws, or future health care reform legislation or regulatory changes, will have a material impact on our operators’ or tenants’ property or business. If the operations, cash flows or financial condition of our operators and tenants are materially adversely impacted by the Health Reform Laws or future legislation, our revenue and operations may be adversely affected as well.  On June 28, 2012, The United States Supreme Court upheld the individual mandate of the Health Reform Laws but partially invalidated the expansion of Medicaid. The ruling on Medicaid expansion will allow States not to participate in the expansion – and to forego funding for the Medicaid expansion – without losing their existing Medicaid funding. Given that the federal government substantially funds the Medicaid expansion, it is unclear whether any state will pursue this option, although at least some appear to be considering this option at this time.  Despite the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Health Reform Laws, the House of Representatives voted to repeal the Health Reform Laws in full.  We cannot predict whether any of these or future attempts to repeal or amend the Health Reform Laws will be successful, nor can we predict the impact that such a repeal or amendment would have on our operators and tenants.  Future repeal efforts will likely be dependent on the outcome of the November elections.

 

Impact to Reimbursement of the Operators and Tenants of Our Properties. The Health Reform Laws provide for various changes to the reimbursement that our operators and tenants may receive. One such change is a reduction to the market basket adjustments for inpatient acute hospitals, long−term care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, home health agencies, psychiatric hospitals, hospice care and outpatient hospitals.  Since 2010, the otherwise applicable percentage increase to the market basket for inpatient acute hospitals has decreased.  Beginning in 2012, inpatient acute hospitals will also face a downward adjustment of the annual

27

 


 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

percentage increase to the market basket rate by a “productivity adjustment.” The productivity adjustment may cause the annual percentage increase to be less than zero, which would mean that inpatient acute hospitals could face payment rates for a fiscal year that are less than the payment rates for the preceding year.

 

A similar productivity adjustment also applies to skilled nursing facilities beginning in 2012, which means that the payment rates for skilled nursing facilities may decrease from one year to the next. Long−term care hospitals have faced a specified percentage decrease in their annual update for discharges since 2010. Additionally, beginning in 2012, long−term care hospitals will be subject to the productivity adjustments, which may decrease the federal payment rates for long−term care hospitals. Similar productivity adjustments and other adjustments to payment rates have applied to inpatient rehabilitation facilities, psychiatric hospitals and outpatient hospitals since 2010.

 

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 made a number of changes, including, effective on October 1, 2012,  applying the therapy caps to outpatient hospitals, creating two new threshold amounts of $3,700 (one for each therapy cap amount), and requiring a manual medical review process of claims over these new thresholds.  The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 also extended the waiver program related to therapy caps through the end of 2012.  These therapy caps may negatively impact payments to skilled nursing facilities.  However, members of MedPAC recently stated that they would prefer not to have hard caps, which indicates that the waiver program for therapy caps will likely continue.

 

The Health Reform Laws revise other reimbursement provisions that may affect our business. For example, the Health Reform Laws reduce states’ Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (“DSH”) allotments, starting in 2014 through 2020. These allotments would have provided additional funding for DSH hospitals that are operators or tenants of our properties, and thus, any reduction might negatively impact these operators or tenants.

 

Additionally, under the Health Reform Laws, beginning in fiscal year 2015, Medicare payments will decrease to hospitals for treatment associated with hospital acquired conditions. This decreased payment rate may negatively impact our operators or tenants. To account for excess readmissions, the Health Reform Laws also call for a reduction of 1% in payments for those hospitals with higher−than−average risk−adjusted readmission rates beginning October 1, 2012, 2% beginning in fiscal year 2014, and 3% from fiscal year 2015 onward. These reductions in payments to our operators or tenants may affect their ability to make payments to us.

 

The Health Reform Laws additionally call for the creation of the Independent Payment Advisory Board (the “Board”), which will be responsible for establishing payment policies, including recommendations in the event that Medicare costs exceed a certain threshold. Proposals for recommendations submitted by the Board prior to December 31, 2018 may not include recommendations that would reduce payments for hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and physicians, among other providers, prior to December 31, 2019.  On March 22, 2012, the House of Representatives approved legislation that would repeal the Board.  While this legislation was not passed by the Senate, if such a repeal were signed into law in the future, reimbursement to our tenants and operators may be impacted.  The ultimate success of the repeal effort is likely to depend on the outcome of the November elections.

 

The Health Reform Laws also create other mechanisms that could permit significant changes to payment. For example, the Health Reform Laws establish the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to test innovative payment and service delivery models to reduce program expenditures through the use of demonstration programs that can waive existing reimbursement methodologies. As another example, on November 2, 2011, CMS published the final rule implementing section 3022 of the Health Reform Laws, which contains provisions relating to Medicare payment to providers and suppliers participating in Accountable Care Organizations (“ACOs”) under the Medicare Shared Servings Program. Under the program, Medicare will share a percentage of savings with ACOs that meet certain quality and saving requirements, thereby allowing providers to receive incentive payments in addition to their traditional fee−for−service payments. Under the program, more experienced providers may assume the risk of losses in exchange for greater potential rewards: ACOs may share up to 50% of the savings under the one−sided model and up to 60% of the savings under the two−sided model, depending on their quality and performance. The amount of shared losses for which an ACO is liable in the two−sided model may not exceed the following percentages of its updated benchmark: 5% in the first performance year, 7.5% in the second year, and 10% in the third year. These shared losses could affect the ability of ACO operators or tenants to meet their financial obligations to us. The Health Reform Laws also provide additional Medicaid funding to allow states to carry out the expansion of Medicaid coverage to certain financially−eligible individuals beginning in 2014, and also permit states to expand their Medicaid coverage to these individuals as early as April 1, 2010, if certain conditions are met.   The Health Reform Laws also extend certain payment rules related to long−term acute care hospitals found in the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (“MMSEA”). 

 

Additionally, although the Health Reform Laws delayed  implementation of the Resource Utilization Group, Version Four (“RUG−IV”), which revises the payment classification system for skilled nursing facilities, the Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010 repealed this delay retroactively to October 1, 2010. The implementation of the RUG-IV classification may impact our tenants

28

 


 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

and operators by revising the classifications of certain patients.  The federal reimbursement for certain facilities, such as skilled nursing facilities, incorporates adjustments to account for facility case-mix. The Health Reform Laws also extend certain payment rules related to long−term acute care hospitals found in the MMSEA.  The MMSEA delayed the implementation of a policy referred to as the “25% threshold rule” that would limit the proportion of patients who can be admitted from a co-located or host hospital during a cost reporting period and be paid under the long-term care hospital prospective payment system.  The Health Reform Laws further extended the delay, which is scheduled to expire at various points in calendar year 2012 depending on the start of the provider’s cost reporting period.

 

Finally, many other changes resulting from the Health Reform Laws, or implementing regulations or guidance may negatively impact our operators and tenants. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the Health Reform Laws and implementing regulations and guidance to determine other potential effects of the reform.

 

Impact of Fraud and Abuse Provisions. The Health Reform Laws revise health care fraud and abuse provisions that will affect our operators and tenants. Specifically, the Health Reform Laws allow for up to treble damages under the Federal False Claims Act for violations related to state−based health insurance exchanges authorized by the Health Reform Laws, which will be implemented beginning in 2014. The Health Reform Laws also impose new civil monetary penalties for false statements or actions that lead to delayed inspections, with penalties of up to $15,000 per day for failure to grant timely access and up to $50,000 for a knowing violation. Additionally, the Health Reform Laws require certain entities – including providers, suppliers, Medicaid managed care organizations, Medicare Advantage organizations, and prescription drug program sponsors – to report and return overpayments to the appropriate payer by the later of (a) sixty (60) days after the date the overpayment was “identified,” or (b) the date that the “corresponding cost report” is due. The entity also must notify the payer in writing of the reason for the overpayment. A violation of these requirements may result in criminal liability, civil liability under the FCA, and/or exclusion from the federal health care programs. On February 14, 2012, CMS published a proposed rule implementing the Health Reform Laws requirement that health care providers and suppliers report and return self−identified overpayments by the later of 60 days after the date the overpayment was identified, or the date any corresponding cost report is due, if applicable. The Health Reform Laws also amend the Federal Anti−Kickback Statute to state that any items or services “resulting from” a violation of the Anti−Kickback Statute constitutes a “false or fraudulent claim” under the Federal False Claims Act. The Health Reform Laws also provide for additional funding to investigate and prosecute health care fraud and abuse. Accordingly, the increased penalties under the Health Reform Laws for fraud and abuse violations may have a negative impact on our operators and tenants in the event that the government brings an enforcement action or subjects them to penalties.

 

Further, CMS published final rulemaking to implement the enhanced provider and supplier screening provisions called for in the Health Reform Laws. Under the final rule, beginning March 25, 2011, all enrolling and participating providers and suppliers are assessed an annual administrative fee and are placed in one of three risk levels (limited, moderate, and high) based on an assessment of the individual’s or entity’s overall risk of fraud, waste and abuse. This rule also allows for the temporary suspension of Medicare payments to providers or suppliers in the event CMS receives credible information that an overpayment, fraud, or willful misrepresentation has occurred. The Health Reform Laws granted the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services significant discretionary authority to suspend, exclude, or impose fines on providers and suppliers based on the agency’s determination that such a provider or supplier is “high−risk,” and, as a result, this final rulemaking has the potential to materially adversely affect our operators and tenants who may be evaluated under the enhanced screening process.

 

On November 2, 2011, CMS and OIG jointly published the final rule establishing waivers of certain fraud and abuse laws to ACOs. These waivers include automatic AKS, Stark, and CMP waivers that may be applied in certain situations and that will apply uniformly to each ACO, ACO participant, and ACO provider/supplier. Notably, the final rule states that CMS and OIG intend to closely monitor ACOs through June 2013 to ensure that these waivers are not causing “undesirable effects” and need to be narrowed to prevent fraud and abuse.

 

Additionally, provisions of Title VI of the Health Care Reform Laws are designed to increase transparency and program integrity by skilled nursing facilities, other nursing facilities and similar providers. Specifically, skilled nursing facilities and other providers and suppliers will be required to institute compliance and ethics programs. Additionally, the Health Reform Laws make it easier for consumers to file complaints against nursing homes by mandating that states establish complaint websites. The provisions calling for enhanced transparency will increase the administrative burden and costs on these providers.

 

Impact to the Health Care Plans Offered to Our Employees. The Health Reform Laws affect employers that provide health plans to their employees. The new laws change the tax treatment of the Medicare Part D retiree drug subsidy and extend dependent coverage for dependents up to age 26, among other changes. We continue to evaluate our health care plans for these changes as new reform laws are enacted. These changes may affect our operators and tenants as well.

Medicare Program Reimbursement Changes

 

CMS released a number of proposed and final rulemakings that may potentially increase or decrease government reimbursement to our operators and tenants. To the extent that any of these rulemakings decrease government reimbursement to our operators and tenants, our revenue and operations may be indirectly, adversely affected.

 

On August 1, 2011, CMS issued a final rule updating the long−term acute care hospital prospective payment system for fiscal year 2012. Among other things, the final rule increased payment rates for acute care hospitals by 1% and long−term care hospitals by 1.8%. In the rule, CMS included a negative 2%, rather than the proposed negative 3.15%, documentation and coding adjustment for long−term care hospitals. On August 8, 2011, CMS released a final rulemaking for the prospective payment system and consolidated billing for skilled nursing facilities for fiscal year 2012, which included the 11.1%, or $3.87 billion, decrease in RUG payments made to skilled nursing facilities previously discussed. CMS announced that the reasons for this rate reduction were to correct for the unintended spike in payment levels, particularly those associated with higher paying RUGs, and to align reimbursement with cost. As part of these changes, effective October 1, 2011, all rate categories were updated for the full market basket increase of 2.7%, less a 1% productivity adjustment required by Section 3401(b) of the Health Reform Laws.  On August 1, 2012, CMS published a final rule for the inpatient prospective payment system, which sets forth acute care and long-term care hospital payment rate changes for the 2013 fiscal year.  Specifically, CMS estimates that, for fiscal year 2013, the Medicare rates for inpatient stays at acute care hospitals will increase by 2.8% for those hospitals that successfully participate in the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program, while those that do not successfully participate in that program would receive a payment rate increase of 0.8%.  CMS also implemented a 3.75% one-time budget neutrality adjustment to the long-term care hospital rate that would be phased in over three years.   The first year phase in of that adjustment will be 1.3%, which would apply to payments or discharges on or after December 29, 2012.  CMS adopted a one-year extension of the existing moratorium on the 25% threshold policy, through fiscal year 2013, beginning on or after October 1, 2012 and before October 1, 2013.  CMS clarified its regulations to reflect an existing policy that the Inpatient Prospective Payment System comparable per diem amount is capped at an amount comparable to what would have been a full payment under the Inpatient Prospective Payment System and that cap applies to short stay cases in long-term care hospitals with discharges occurring on or after December 29, 2012.  The legislative moratorium on new long-term hospitals and satellite facilities is set to expire at the end of 2012. Additionally, on July 30, 2012, CMS released notices updating the payment rates for inpatient rehabilitation facilities (“IRFs”) and for skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”).  For IRF discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2012 and on or before September 30, 2013, CMS is implementing a net 1.9% rate increase.   Effective October 1, 2012, CMS implemented a net 1.8% rate increase for SNFs.

 

CMS annually adjusts the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule payment rates based on an update formula that includes application of the Sustainable Growth Rate (“SGR”). On November 1, 2011, CMS published the calendar year 2012 Physician Fee Schedule final rule for a negative 27.4% update under the statutory SGR formula.  In February 2012, Congress passed the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, which blocks the cut through the end of 2012. On November 1, 2012, CMS published the calendar year 2013 Physician Fee Schedule final rule with comment period.  The final rule calls for a negative 26.5% update under the statutory SGR formula.  Congress has overridden the required reduction every year from 2003 through the end of 2012.  The final rule continues implementation of quality and cost measures that will be used in establishing a new value−based modifier that would adjust physician payments based on whether they are providing higher quality and more efficient care. The Health Reform Laws require CMS to begin making payment adjustments to certain physicians and physician groups on January 1, 2015, and to apply the modifier to all physicians by January 1, 2017. Calendar year 2013 is the initial performance year for purposes of adjusting payments in calendar year 2015.

 

On November 1, 2011, CMS published a final rule with comment period for outpatient care hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers. CMS estimated that the rates and policies would increase 2012 calendar year payment rates by 1.9% for hospital outpatient departments and 1.6% for ambulatory surgery centers.  On November 1, 2012, CMS published the calendar year 2013 final rule with comment period for outpatient care hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.  CMS estimates that the rates and policies in the final rule will increase payment rates for hospital outpatient departments by 1.8% and increase payment rates for ambulatory surgery centers by 0.6%.

 

Finally, on November 21, 2011, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, which was created by the Budget Control Act of 2011, concluded its work and issued a statement that it was not able to make a bipartisan agreement, thus triggering the sequestration process. The sequestration process will result in spending reductions starting in 2013, including Medicare cuts. Such cuts could affect government reimbursement to our operators and tenants.

Capital Market Outlook

     The capital markets remain supportive of our investment strategy.  Year to date as of September 30, 2012 we have raised $4.8 billion in aggregate gross proceeds through issuance of common and preferred stock, unsecured debt and a Canadian denominated term loan.  The capital raised, in combination with cash on hand and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, supported $2.9 billion in gross new investments year-to-date.  We expect attractive investment opportunities to remain available through the balance of 2012 as we continue to leverage the benefits of our relationship investment strategy.

 

Business Strategy

     Our primary objectives are to protect stockholder capital and enhance stockholder value. We seek to pay consistent cash dividends to stockholders and create opportunities to increase dividend payments to stockholders as a result of annual increases in fees/services, rent and interest income and portfolio growth. To meet these objectives, we invest across the full spectrum of seniors housing and health care real estate and diversify our investment portfolio by property type, customer and geographic location.

     Substantially all of our revenues and sources of cash flows from operations are derived from operating lease rentals, resident fees and services, and interest earned on outstanding loans receivable. These items represent our primary source of liquidity to fund distributions and are dependent upon our obligors’ continued ability to make contractual payments to us. To the extent that our obligors experience operating difficulties and are unable to generate sufficient cash to make payments to us, there could be a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, we monitor our investments through a variety of methods determined by the type of property and operator/tenant. Our asset management process includes review of monthly financial statements for each property, periodic review of obligor credit, periodic property inspections and review of covenant compliance relating to licensure, real estate taxes, letters of credit and other collateral. In monitoring our portfolio, our personnel use a proprietary database to collect and analyze property-specific data. Additionally, we conduct extensive research to ascertain industry trends and risks. Through these asset management and research efforts, we are typically able to intervene at an early stage to address payment risk, and in so doing, support both the collectability of revenue and the value of our investment.

     In addition to our asset management and research efforts, we also structure our investments to help mitigate payment risk. Operating leases and loans are normally credit enhanced by guaranties and/or letters of credit. In addition, operating leases are typically structured as master leases and loans are generally cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with other loans, operating leases or agreements between us and the obligor and its affiliates.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, rental income, resident fees and services and interest income represented 62%, 36% and 2%, respectively, of total gross revenues (including revenues from discontinued operations). Substantially all of our operating leases are designed with either fixed or contingent escalating rent structures. Leases with fixed annual rental escalators are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease period, subject to a collectability assessment. Rental income related to leases with contingent rental escalators is generally recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due for the period. Our yield on loans receivable depends upon a number of factors, including the stated interest rate, the average principal amount outstanding during the term of the loan and any interest rate adjustments.

     Depending upon the availability and cost of external capital, we believe our liquidity is sufficient to fund operations, meet debt service obligations (both principal and interest), make dividend distributions and complete construction projects in process.  We also anticipate evaluating opportunities to finance future investments.  New investments are generally funded from temporary borrowings under our unsecured line of credit arrangements, internally generated cash and the proceeds from sales of real property. Our investments generate internal cash from fees/services, rent and interest receipts and principal payments on loans receivable. Permanent capital for future investments, which replaces funds drawn under the unsecured line of credit arrangements, has historically been provided through a combination of public and private offerings of debt and equity securities and the incurrence or assumption of secured debt.

     Our primary sources of cash include rent and interest receipts, resident fees and services, borrowings under the unsecured line of credit arrangements, public and private offerings of debt and equity securities, proceeds from the sales of real property and principal payments on loans receivable. Our primary uses of cash include dividend distributions, debt service payments (including principal and interest), real property investments (including capital expenditures and construction advances), loan advances, property operating expenses and general and administrative expenses. 

     Depending upon market conditions, we believe that new investments will be available in the future with spreads over our cost of capital that will generate appropriate returns to our stockholders. We also anticipate the sale of real property and the repayment of loans receivable. It is possible that additional loan repayments or sales of real property may occur in the future. To the extent that loan repayments and real property sales exceed new investments, our revenues and cash flows from operations could be adversely affected. We expect to reinvest the proceeds from any loan repayments and real property sales in new investments. To the extent that new investment requirements exceed our available cash on-hand, we expect to borrow under our unsecured line of credit arrangements. At

September 30, 2012, we had $1,382,252,000 of cash and cash equivalents, $140,404,000 of restricted cash and $2,005,000,000 of available borrowing capacity under our unsecured line of credit arrangements.

 

Key Transactions in 2012

     We have completed the following key transactions to date in 2012:

·         our Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend to $0.74 per common share for 2012, as compared to the previous $0.715 per common share rate, beginning with the February 2012 dividend payment;

o    extinguished $237,259,000 of secured debt bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 4.87% through September;

·         we completed $2,888,403,000 of gross investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2012;

·         we received $302,377,000 in proceeds on property sales and loan payoffs, generating $46,046,000 in net gains during the nine months ended September 30, 2012;

·         we completed our Canadian investment with Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT on May 1, 2012; and

·         we declassified our Board of Directors in May.

 

Key Performance Indicators, Trends and Uncertainties

     We utilize several key performance indicators to evaluate the various aspects of our business. These indicators are discussed below and relate to operating performance, concentration risk and credit strength. Management uses these key performance indicators to facilitate internal and external comparisons to our historical operating results, in making operating decisions and for budget planning purposes.

     Operating Performance. We believe that net income attributable to common stockholders (“NICS”) is the most appropriate earnings measure. Other useful supplemental measures of our operating performance include funds from operations (“FFO”) and net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”); however, these supplemental measures are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Please refer to the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion and reconciliations of FFO and NOI. These earnings measures and their relative per share amounts are widely used by investors and analysts in the valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies. The following table reflects the recent historical trends of our operating performance measures for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

     Concentration Risk. We evaluate our concentration risk in terms of asset mix, investment mix, relationship mix and geographic mix. Concentration risk is a valuable measure in understanding what portion of our investments could be at risk if certain sectors were to experience downturns. Asset mix measures the portion of our investments that are real property. In order to qualify as an equity REIT, at least 75% of our real estate investments must be real property whereby each property, which includes the land, buildings, improvements, intangibles and related rights, is owned by us. Investment mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our various property types. Relationship mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our top five relationships. Geographic mix measures the portion of our investments that relate to our top five states.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

     Credit Strength. We measure our credit strength both in terms of leverage ratios and coverage ratios. Our leverage ratios include debt to book capitalization and debt to market capitalization. The leverage ratios indicate how much of our balance sheet capitalization is related to long-term debt. The coverage ratios indicate our ability to service interest and fixed charges (interest, secured debt principal amortization and preferred dividends). We expect to maintain capitalization ratios and coverage ratios sufficient to maintain compliance with our debt covenants. The coverage ratios are based on adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which is discussed in further detail, and reconciled to net income, below in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Leverage ratios and coverage ratios are widely used by investors, analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, investment recommendations and rating of companies. The following table reflects the recent historical trends for our credit strength measures for the periods presented:

     We evaluate our key performance indicators in conjunction with current expectations to determine if historical trends are indicative of future results. Our expected results may not be achieved and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. Factors that may cause actual results to differ from expected results are described in more detail in “Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors” and other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management regularly monitors economic and other factors to develop strategic and tactical plans designed to improve performance and maximize our competitive position. Our ability to achieve our financial objectives is dependent upon our ability to effectively execute these plans and to appropriately respond to emerging economic and company-specific trends. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2012, under the headings “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion of these risk factors.

Sources and Uses of Cash

     Our primary sources of cash include rent and interest receipts, resident fees and services, borrowings under the unsecured line of credit arrangements, public and private offerings of debt and equity securities, proceeds from the sales of real property and principal payments on loans receivable. Our primary uses of cash include dividend distributions, debt service payments (including principal and interest), real property investments (including capital expenditures and construction advances), loan advances and general and administrative expenses. These sources and uses of cash are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and are discussed in further detail below.

Gross straight-line rental income represents the non-cash difference between contractual cash rent due and the average rent recognized pursuant to U.S. GAAP for leases with fixed rental escalators, net of collectability reserves.  This amount is positive in the first half of a lease term (but declining every year due to annual increases in cash rent due) and is negative in the second half of a lease term.  The fluctuation is primarily attributable to the Genesis master lease which began April 1, 2011.

Investing Activities.  The changes in net cash used in investing activities are primarily attributable to net changes in real property and real estate loans receivable.  The following is a summary of our investment and disposition activities (dollars in thousands):

     Capitalization rates for acquisitions represent annualized contractual income or projected income to be received in cash divided by investment amounts.  Capitalization rates for dispositions represent annualized contractual income that was being received in cash at date of disposition divided by cash proceeds.  For the three months ended September 30, 2012, weighted-average capitalization rates for acquisitions and dispositions were as follows:

     The contributions to unconsolidated entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily represent cash invested by us in the joint venture with Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT.  The distributions by unconsolidated entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily represent cash received for return of capital from the same joint venture.  Please see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information. 

 

     Restricted cash increased $69,809,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to disposition proceeds deposited into Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 exchange escrow accounts.  Restricted cash decreased $27,844,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due primarily to the funding of acquisitions from earnest money deposit accounts.

 

     Financing Activities. The changes in net cash provided from or used in financing activities are primarily attributable to changes related to our long-term debt arrangements, proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred stock and dividend payments.

 

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had a net decrease of $610,000,000 on our unsecured line of credit arrangement as compared to a net increase of $90,000,000 for the same period in 2011.

 

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we received proceeds from issuance of senior unsecured notes of $842,323,000 and $1,381,086,000, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we made payments to extinguish senior unsecured notes of $370,524,000.  We did not extinguish any senior notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. See Note 10 for additional information. 

 

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we received proceeds from the issuance of secured debt of $145,713,000 and $60,470,000, respectively, offset by payments on secured debt of $272,399,000 and $20,285,000, respectively.  See Note 10 for additional information. 

     We may repurchase, redeem or refinance convertible and non-convertible senior unsecured notes from time to time, taking advantage of favorable market conditions when available. We may purchase senior notes for cash through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, a tender offer or, in some cases, through the early redemption of such securities pursuant to their terms.   The non-convertible senior unsecured notes are redeemable at our option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (1) the principal amount of the notes (or portion of such notes) being redeemed plus accrued

and unpaid interest thereon up to the redemption date and (2) any “make-whole” amount due under the terms of the notes in connection with early redemptions.   Redemptions and repurchases of debt, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. 

      Net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $277,687,000 and $696,437,000, respectively.  Net cash used to redeem preferred stock was $275,000,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  We did not redeem any preferred stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  See Note 13 for additional information.

     In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income (including 100% of capital gains) to our stockholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

     During the year ended December 31, 2010, we entered into a joint venture investment with Forest City Enterprises (NYSE:FCE.A and FCE.B). We acquired a 49% interest in a seven-building life science campus located at University Park in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is immediately adjacent to the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  At September 30, 2012, our investment of $176,579,000 is recorded as an investment in unconsolidated entities on the balance sheet.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we entered into a joint venture with Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT (TSX:CSH.UN).  We acquired a 50% interest in 39 seniors housing properties.  In connection with this transaction, we invested $223,134,000 of cash which was recorded as an investment in unconsolidated entities on the balance sheet.  In addition, at September 30, 2012, we had other investments in unconsolidated entities with our ownership ranging from 10% to 50%.  Finally, upon completion of the Sunrise Merger and Management Business Sale, we expect to own interests in certain unconsolidated entities, including property-owning joint ventures and the Management Business Buyer.  Please see Notes 7 and 12 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

     We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We may or may not elect to use financial derivative instruments to hedge these risks. These decisions are principally based on the general trends in these rates at the applicable dates, our perception of the future volatility of these rates and our relative levels of variable rate debt and foreign currency denominated investments. Please see Note 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

     At September 30, 2012, we had nine outstanding letter of credit obligations totaling $7,172,000 and expiring between 2013 and 2014. Please see Note 12 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

     At September 30, 2012, we had an unsecured line of credit arrangement with a consortium of 31 banks in the amount of $2.0 billion, which is scheduled to expire on July 27, 2015. Borrowings under the agreement are subject to interest payable in periods no longer than three months at either the agent bank’s prime rate of interest or the applicable margin over LIBOR interest rate, at our option (1.57% at September 30, 2012). The applicable margin is based on certain of our debt ratings and was 1.35% at September 30, 2012. In addition, we pay a facility fee annually to each bank based on the bank’s commitment amount. The facility fee depends on certain of our debt ratings and was 0.25% at September 30, 2012. Principal is due upon expiration of the agreement.

 

     We have $4,694,403,000 of senior unsecured notes principal outstanding with annual fixed interest rates ranging from 3.0% to 6.5%, payable semi-annually. A total of $494,403,000 of our senior unsecured notes are convertible notes that also contain put features.  In addition, we have a $250,000,000 Canadian denominated unsecured term loan (approximately $254,143,000 USD at exchange rates on September 30, 2012.)  The loan is coterminous with the unsecured revolving credit facility and matures July 27, 2015 with an option to extend for an additional year at our discretion. Total contractual interest obligations on senior unsecured notes and the Canadian term loan totaled $2,204,370,000 at September 30, 2012.

     We have consolidated secured debt with total outstanding principal of $2,300,521,000, collateralized by owned properties, with fixed annual interest rates ranging from 1.2% to 8.0%, payable monthly. The carrying values of the properties securing the debt totaled $5,083,684,000 at September 30, 2012. Total contractual interest obligations on consolidated secured debt totaled $736,398,000 at

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

September 30, 2012.  Additionally, our share of non-recourse debt associated with unconsolidated joint ventures (as reflected in the contractual obligations table above) is $412,178,000 at September 30, 2012.  Our share of contractual interest obligations on our unconsolidated joint venture (as reflected in the contractual obligations table above) secured debt is $60,785,000 at September 30, 2012.  

     At September 30, 2012, we had operating lease obligations of $528,685,000 relating primarily to ground leases at certain of our properties and office space leases and capital lease obligations of $88,143,000 relating to certain leased investment properties that contain bargain purchase options.

    Purchase obligations include $1,396,626,000 representing the anticipated cash portion of the Sunrise Merger and Management Business Sale commitments as discussed in Note 12 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.  Purchase obligations also include unfunded construction commitments and contingent purchase obligations. At September 30, 2012, we had outstanding construction financings of $219,705,000 for leased properties and were committed to providing additional financing of approximately $217,015,000 to complete construction. At September 30, 2012, we had contingent purchase obligations totaling $76,933,000. These contingent purchase obligations relate to unfunded capital improvement obligations and contingent obligations on acquisitions. Upon funding, rents due from the tenant are increased to reflect the additional investment in the property. 

     Other long-term liabilities relate to our Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). We have a SERP, a non-qualified defined benefit pension plan, which provides certain executive officers with supplemental deferred retirement benefits. The SERP provides an opportunity for participants to receive retirement benefits that cannot be paid under our tax-qualified plans because of the restrictions imposed by ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Benefits are based on compensation and length of service and the SERP is unfunded. Benefit payments are expected to total $2,375,000 during the next five fiscal years and $3,560,000 thereafter. We use a December 31 measurement date for the SERP. The accrued liability on our balance sheet for the SERP was $6,235,000 and $5,623,000 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Capital Structure

     As of September 30, 2012, we had total equity of $10,522,405,000 and a total debt balance of $7,236,429,000, which represents a debt to total book capitalization ratio of 41%. Our ratio of debt to market capitalization was 31% at September 30, 2012. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our interest coverage ratio was 2.94x and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.30x. Also, at September 30, 2012, we had $1,382,252,000 of cash and cash equivalents, $140,404,000 of restricted cash and $2,005,000,000 of available borrowing capacity under our unsecured lines of credit arrangements.

     Our debt agreements contain various covenants, restrictions and events of default. Certain agreements require us to maintain certain financial ratios and minimum net worth and impose certain limits on our ability to incur indebtedness, create liens and make investments or acquisitions. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt agreements. Please refer to the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion. None of our debt agreements contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our debt ratings. However, under our unsecured line of credit arrangement, the ratings on our senior unsecured notes are used to determine the fees and interest charged.

     We plan to manage the company to maintain compliance with our debt covenants and with a capital structure consistent with our current profile. Any downgrades in terms of ratings or outlook by any or all of the rating agencies could have a material adverse impact on our cost and availability of capital, which could in turn have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition.

     On May 4, 2012, we filed an open-ended automatic or “universal” shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering an indeterminate amount of future offerings of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants and units. As of October 31, 2012, we had an effective registration statement on file in connection with our enhanced dividend reinvestment plan under which we may issue up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock. As of October 31, 2012, 4,391,934 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under this registration statement. We have entered into separate Equity Distribution Agreements with UBS Securities LLC, RBS Securities Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc. relating to the offer and sale from time to time of up to $630,015,000 aggregate amount of our common stock (“Equity Shelf Program”). As of October 31, 2012, we had $457,112,000 of remaining capacity under the Equity Shelf Program. Depending upon market conditions, we anticipate issuing securities under our registration statements to invest in additional properties and to repay borrowings under our unsecured lines of credit arrangements.

The increase in rental income is primarily attributable to acquisitions and the conversion of newly constructed seniors housing triple-net properties subsequent to September 30, 2011 from which we receive rent. Certain of our leases contain annual rental escalators that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index and/or changes in the gross operating revenues of the tenant’s properties.  These escalators are not fixed, so no straight-line rent is recorded; however, rental income is recorded based on the

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

contractual cash rental payments due for the period.  If gross operating revenues at our facilities and/or the Consumer Price Index do not increase, a portion of our revenues may not continue to increase.  Sales of real property would offset revenue increases and, to the extent that they exceed new acquisitions, could result in decreased revenues.  Our leases could renew above or below current rent rates, resulting in an increase or decrease in rental income.  For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we had no lease renewals but we had 13 leases with rental rate increasers ranging from 0.13% to 0.43% in our seniors housing triple-net portfolio. Interest income declined primarily due to non-recurring income earned in connection with loan payoffs in the prior year.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 represents secured debt interest expense offset by interest allocated to discontinued operations.  The change in secured debt interest expense is due to the net effect and timing of assumptions, extinguishments and principal amortizations.  The following is a summary of our seniors housing triple-net property secured debt principal activity (dollars in thousands):

In connection with the secured debt extinguishments, we recognized losses of $126,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and losses of $2,363,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, we recognized a $96,000 loss on derivatives due to certain interest rate swap agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, with $0 being related to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

We recorded $27,008,000 of provision for loan losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Depreciation and amortization increased as a result of acquisitions and the conversion of newly constructed investment properties subsequent to September 30, 2011. To the extent that we acquire or dispose of additional properties in the future, our provision for depreciation and amortization will change accordingly. 

Transaction costs were incurred in connection with acquisitions that occurred during the relevant periods.  Transaction costs generally include due diligence costs and fees for legal and valuation services. 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold 29 seniors housing triple-net properties and recognized net gains of $57,710,000.  Also, at September 30, 2012, we had 31 seniors housing triple-net properties that satisfied the requirements for held for sale treatment.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 we recorded an impairment of $6,952,000 related to properties that are considered held for sale.  The following illustrates the reclassification impact as a result of classifying the properties sold subsequent to January 1, 2011 or held for sale at September 30, 2012 as discontinued operations for the periods presented.  Please refer to Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Seniors Housing Operating

As discussed in Note 3 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements, we completed additional acquisitions within our seniors housing operating partnerships during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The results of operations for these partnerships have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the dates of acquisition. The seniors housing operating partnerships were formed using the structure authorized by the REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act of 2007 (“RIDEA”).  When considering new partnerships utilizing the RIDEA structure, we look for opportunities with best-in-class operators with a strong seasoned leadership team, high-quality real estate in attractive markets, growth potential above the rent escalators in our triple-net lease seniors housing portfolio, and alignment of economic interests with our operating partner.  Our seniors housing operating partnerships offer us the opportunity for external growth because we have the right to fund future seniors housing investment opportunities sourced by our operating partners.  The following is a summary of our seniors housing operating results of operations (dollars in thousands):

Fluctuations in revenues and property operating expenses are primarily a result of acquisitions subsequent to September 30, 2011. The fluctuations in depreciation and amortization are due to acquisitions offset by variations in amortization of short-lived intangible assets.  To the extent that we acquire or dispose of additional properties in the future, these amounts will change accordingly.  Loss from unconsolidated entities is primarily attributable to depreciation and amortization of short-lived intangible assets related to our joint venture with Chartwell.

Interest expense represents secured debt interest expense. The following is a summary of our seniors housing operating property secured debt principal activity (dollars in thousands):

On July 30, 2012, we completed funding on a $250,000,000 Canadian denominated unsecured term loan (approximately $254,143,000 USD at exchange rates on September 30, 2012.)  The loan is coterminous with the unsecured revolving credit facility and matures July 27, 2015 with an option to extend for an additional year at our discretion.

In connection with secured debt extinguishments, we recognized gains of $1,089,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $409,000 of unrealized loss associated with forward contracts in connection with the anticipated Sunrise merger discussed in Note 12 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements. The forward contracts were used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 we recognized a gain of $2,217,000 associated with our Chartwell transaction discussed in Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements. 

Transaction costs were incurred in connection with acquisitions that occurred during the relevant periods. Transaction costs generally include due diligence costs and fees for legal and valuation services, charges associated with the termination of pre-existing relationships computed based on the fair value of the assets acquired and lease termination fees.

     The increases in rental income, property operating expenses and depreciation and amortization are primarily attributable to the acquisitions and construction conversions of medical facilities subsequent to September 30, 2011 from which we receive rent.  

     Certain of our leases contain annual rental escalators that are contingent upon changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).  These escalators are not fixed, so no straight-line rent is recorded; however, rental income is recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due for the period.  If the CPI does not increase, a portion of our revenues may not continue to increase.  Sales of real property would offset revenue increases and, to the extent that they exceed new acquisitions, could result in decreased revenues.  Our leases could renew above or below current rent rates, resulting in an increase or decrease in rental income. 

     For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our consolidated medical office building portfolio signed 67,397 square feet of new leases and 145,199 square feet of renewals.  The weighted average term of these leases was seven years, with a rate of $20.99 per square foot and tenant improvement and lease commission costs of $11.75 per square foot.  Substantially all of these leases contain an

annual fixed rent escalation structure ranging from 1.5% to 3.0%.  For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we had no lease renewals and two leases with rent increases ranging from 1.6% to 2.3% in our hospital portfolio. 

     Other income is attributable to third party management fee income and the decrease from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to cash received associated with the settlement of certain third party property management contracts in the prior year.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 represents secured debt interest expense offset by interest allocated to discontinued operations.  The change in secured debt interest expense is primarily due to the net effect and timing of assumptions, extinguishments and principal amortizations.  The following is a summary of our medical facilities secured debt principal  activity (dollars in thousands):

In connection with secured debt extinguishments, we recognized gains of $483,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Transaction costs generally include due diligence costs and fees for legal and valuation services.  Income from unconsolidated entities represents our share of net income related to our joint venture investments with Forest City Enterprises (effective February 2010) and a strategic medical office partnership (effective January 2011).

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold thirteen medical facilities for net losses of $11,664,000. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we changed our intent regarding the hold period for eight operating medical facilities and agreed to sell the properties resulting in a loss on sale during that period.  The following illustrates the reclassification impact as a result of classifying the properties sold subsequent to January 1, 2011 as discontinued operations for the periods presented.  Please refer to Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

     Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily relates to certain properties that are consolidated in our operating results but where we have less than a 100% ownership interest. The decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is primarily due to the buyout of a joint venture partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

     We capitalize certain interest costs associated with funds used to finance the construction of properties owned directly by us. The amount capitalized is based upon the balances outstanding during the construction period using the rate of interest that approximates our cost of financing. Our interest expense is reduced by the amount capitalized.

     Please see Note 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our interest rate swap agreements and their impact on interest expense.  Loan expense represents the amortization of deferred loan costs incurred in connection with the issuance and amendments of debt.

     General and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenues (including revenues from discontinued operations) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were 4.99% and 5.13%, respectively.  The change from prior year is primarily related to the increasing revenue base as a result of our seniors housing operating partnerships.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

     We believe that net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, we consider FFO to be a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time as evidenced by the provision for depreciation. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. In response, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation from net income. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, means net income, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate and impairment of depreciable assets, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities.

     Net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) is used to evaluate the operating performance of our properties. We define NOI as total revenues, including tenant reimbursements, less property level operating expenses, which exclude depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, impairments and interest expense. Property operating expenses represent costs associated with managing, maintaining and servicing tenants for our seniors housing operating and medical facility properties.  These expenses include, but are not limited to, property-related payroll and benefits, property management fees, marketing, housekeeping, food service, maintenance, utilities, property taxes and insurance.  General and administrative expenses represent costs unrelated to property operations or transaction costs.  These expenses include, but are not limited to, payroll and benefits, professional services, office expenses and depreciation of corporate fixed assets.  Same store cash NOI (“SSCNOI”) is used to evaluate the cash-based operating performance of our properties under a consistent population which eliminates changes in the composition of our portfolio.  As used herein, same store is defined as those revenue-generating properties in the portfolio for the reporting period January 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012.  Properties acquired, developed or classified in discontinued operations during that period are excluded from the same store amounts.  We believe NOI and SSCNOI provide investors relevant and useful information because they measure the operating performance of our properties at the property level on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI and SSCNOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property level performance of our properties.

     EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA, along with net income and cash flow provided from operating activities, is an important supplemental measure because it provides additional information to assess and evaluate the performance of our operations. We primarily utilize EBITDA to measure our interest coverage ratio, which represents EBITDA divided by total interest, and our fixed charge coverage ratio, which represents EBITDA divided by fixed charges. Fixed charges include total interest, secured debt principal amortization and preferred dividends. 

     A covenant in our primary unsecured line of credit arrangement and Canadian denominated term loan contains a financial ratio based on a definition of EBITDA that is specific to that agreement. Failure to satisfy these covenants could result in an event of default that could have a material adverse impact on our cost and availability of capital, which could in turn have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition. Due to the materiality of these debt agreements and the financial covenants, we have disclosed Adjusted EBITDA, which represents EBITDA as defined above and adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, provision for loan losses and gain/loss on extinguishment of debt. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our adjusted fixed charge coverage ratio, which represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by fixed charges on a trailing twelve months basis. Fixed charges include total interest (excluding capitalized interest and non-cash interest expenses), secured debt principal amortization and preferred dividends. Effective July 27, 2011, our covenant requires an adjusted fixed charge ratio of at least 1.50 times.

     Other than Adjusted EBITDA, our supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to our historical operating results and in making operating decisions. Additionally, these measures are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management. Adjusted EBITDA is used solely to determine our compliance with a financial covenant in our primary line of credit arrangement and Canadian denominated term loan and is not being presented for use by investors for any other purpose. None of our supplemental measures represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity. Finally, the supplemental measures, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts or other companies.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

     The tables below reflect the reconciliation of FFO to net income attributable to common stockholders, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, for the periods presented. The provisions for depreciation and amortization include provisions for depreciation and amortization from discontinued operations. Noncontrolling interest amounts represent the noncontrolling interests’ share of transaction costs and depreciation and amortization.  Unconsolidated entity amounts represent our share of unconsolidated entities’ depreciation and amortization.  Amounts are in thousands except for per share data.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions.  Management considers an accounting estimate or assumption critical if:

·         the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and

·         the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance is material.

Management has discussed the development and selection of its critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.  Management believes the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements are appropriate and are not reasonably likely to change in the future.  However, since these estimates require assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, they bear the risk of change.  If actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, liquidity and/or financial condition.  Please refer to Note 2 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2012, for further information regarding significant accounting policies that impact us.  There have been no material changes to these policies in 2012.

 

Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors

    This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking” statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements concern and are based upon, among other things, the possible expansion of the company’s portfolio; the sale of facilities; the performance of its operators/tenants and facilities; its ability to enter into agreements with viable new tenants for vacant space or for facilities that the company takes back from financially troubled tenants, if any; its occupancy rates; its ability to acquire, develop and/or manage facilities; its ability to make distributions to stockholders; its policies and plans regarding investments, financings and other matters; its ability to manage the risks associated with international expansion and operations; its tax status as a real estate investment trust; its critical accounting policies; its ability to appropriately balance the use of debt and equity; its ability to access capital markets or other sources of funds; and its ability to meet its earnings guidance. When the company uses words such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate” or similar expressions, it is making forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties.  The company’s expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from expectations.  This may be a result of various factors, including, but not limited to: the status of the economy; the status of capital markets, including availability and cost of capital; issues facing the health care industry, including compliance with, and changes to, regulations and payment policies, responding to government investigations and punitive settlements and operators’/tenants’ difficulty in cost-effectively obtaining and maintaining adequate liability and other insurance; changes in financing terms; competition within the health care, seniors housing and life science industries; negative developments in the operating results or financial condition of operators/tenants, including, but not limited to, their ability to pay rent and repay loans; the company’s ability to transition or sell facilities with profitable results; the failure to make new investments as and when anticipated; acts of God affecting the company’s facilities; the company’s ability to re-lease space at similar rates as vacancies occur; the company’s ability to timely reinvest sale proceeds at similar rates to assets sold; operator/tenant or joint venture partner bankruptcies or insolvencies; the cooperation of joint venture partners; government regulations affecting Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates and operational requirements; regulatory approval and market acceptance of the products and technologies of life science tenants; liability or contract claims by or against operators/tenants; unanticipated difficulties and/or expenditures relating to future acquisitions; environmental laws affecting the company’s facilities; changes in rules or practices governing the company’s financial reporting; the movement of foreign currency exchange rates; and legal and operational matters, including real estate investment trust qualification and key management personnel recruitment and retention.  Other important factors are identified in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2012, including factors identified under the headings “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Finally, the company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     We are exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We seek to mitigate the underlying foreign currency exposures with gains and losses on derivative contracts hedging these exposures.  We seek to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the terms of new investments with new long-term fixed rate borrowings to the extent possible. We may or may not elect to use financial derivative instruments to hedge interest rate exposure. These decisions are principally based on our policy to match our variable rate investments with comparable borrowings, but are also based on the general trend in interest rates at the applicable dates and our perception of the future volatility of interest rates. This section is presented to provide a discussion of the risks associated with potential fluctuations in interest rates.

      We historically borrow on our primary unsecured line of credit arrangement to acquire, construct or make loans relating to health care and seniors housing properties. Then, as market conditions dictate, we will issue equity or long-term fixed rate debt to repay the borrowings under the unsecured line of credit arrangements.

      A change in interest rates will not affect the interest expense associated with our fixed rate debt. Interest rate changes, however, will affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Changes in the interest rate environment upon maturity of this fixed rate debt could have an effect on our future cash flows and earnings, depending on whether the debt is replaced with other fixed rate debt, variable rate debt or equity or repaid by the sale of assets. To illustrate the impact of changes in the interest rate markets, we performed a sensitivity analysis on our fixed rate debt instruments whereby we modeled the change in net present values arising from a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates to determine the instruments’ change in fair value. The following table summarizes the analysis performed as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

     As of September 30, 2012, we had five interest rate swaps for a total aggregate notional amount of $101,040,000.  The swaps hedge interest payments associated with long-term LIBOR based borrowings and mature between December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013.

     Our variable rate debt, including our unsecured line of credit arrangements, is reflected at cost which approximates fair value. At September 30, 2012, we had $0 outstanding related to our variable rate lines of credit and $223,270,000 outstanding related to our variable rate secured debt. Assuming no changes in outstanding balances, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in increased annual interest expense of $2,233,000. At December 31, 2011, we had $610,000,000 outstanding related to our variable rate lines of credit and $415,101,000 outstanding related to our variable rate secured debt. Assuming no changes in outstanding balances, a 1% increase in interest rates would have resulted in increased annual interest expense of $10,251,000. 

     On July 31, 2012, we entered into a $250,000,000 Canadian Dollar term loan which has been designated as a net investment hedge of our Chartwell investment.  At September 30, 2012, we had $254,143,000 outstanding related to this loan.  Assuming no changes in outstanding balances, a 1% increase in interest rates would have resulted in increased annual interest expense of $2,541,000. 

     On August 30, 2012, we entered into two cross currency swaps to purchase $125,000,000 Pound Sterling.  The swaps were used to limit exposure to fluctuations in the Pound Sterling to U.S. Dollar exchange rate associated with our initial cash investment funded for the Sunrise transaction discussed in Note 12 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

     On September 17, 2012, we entered into two forward exchange contracts to purchase $14,000,000 Canadian Dollars and $23,000,000 Pound Sterling at a fixed rate in the future.  The forward contracts were used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency associated with the Sunrise transaction discussed in Note 12 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

     We are subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of current indebtedness. The majority of our borrowings were completed under indentures or contractual agreements that limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, in the event that we are unable to raise additional equity or borrow money because of these limitations, our ability to acquire additional properties may be limited.

     For additional information regarding fair values of financial instruments, see “Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” and Notes 11 and 16 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

     Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file with or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     In August 2012, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Sunrise.  Please see Note 12 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.  Following the announcement of the Merger Agreement, complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and the Chancery Court for the State of Delaware challenging the Merger.

     The complaints challenge the Merger on behalf of a putative class of Sunrise public stockholders, and name as defendants Sunrise, its directors and the company.  The complaints generally allege that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Merger and that the entity defendants aided and abetted that breach.  The complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia additionally alleges that the preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC by Sunrise fails to provide material information in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder.     The complaints seek, among other things, injunctive relief against the Merger, unspecified damages and an award of plaintiffs’ expenses, including attorneys’ fees.

     The outcomes of these lawsuits are uncertain and cannot be predicted with any certainty.  A preliminary injunction could delay or jeopardize the completion of the Merger, and an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin completion of the Merger.  The defendants believe that the claims asserted against them in these lawsuits are without merit, and they intend to defend themselves vigorously against the claims.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

     Except as provided in “Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors,” there have been no material changes from the risk factors identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2012.
