Explanatory
Note
On
December 14, 2006, Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega”) filed amendments
to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and its Forms
10-Q
for the periods ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 (the “Restatements”) to
restate certain historical results, to correct errors in previously reported
amounts related to tax matters and asset values, and to record certain
straight-line rental income. Omega also filed its Form 10-Q for the period
ending September 30, 2006 on December 15, 2006. As a consequence, Omega has
filed on Form S-11 this post-effective amendment to its Registration Statement
on Form S-3 because Omega is currently ineligible to use Form S-3.
Pursuant
to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the prospectus
included in this Post-Effective Amendment to Registration Statement is a
combined prospectus that also relates to the Registration Statement on Form
S-3,
Registration No. 333-69675, filed by the Registrant on December 23, 1998, as
amended. Of the dollar amount of the securities initially registered pursuant
to
Registration Statement No. 333-69675, $45,538,801 remain unsold. Pursuant to
Rule 429, this Registration Statement shall act, upon effectiveness, as
Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement No.
333-69675.
The
Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates
as
may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file
a
further amendment which specifically states that this Registration Statement
shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or until this Registration Statement shall
become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said
Section 8(a), may determine.
The
information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed.
We may
not sell these securities until the registration statement filed
with the
Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus
is not an
offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer
to buy
these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not
permitted.

Our
Company
We
were
incorporated in the State of Maryland on March 31, 1992. We are a
self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, investing in
income-producing healthcare facilities, principally long-term care facilities
located in the United States. We provide lease or mortgage financing to
qualified operators of skilled nursing facilities and, to a lesser extent,
assisted living facilities, rehabilitation and acute care facilities. We have
historically financed investments through borrowings under our revolving credit
facilities, private placements or public offerings of debt or equity securities,
the assumption of secured indebtedness, or a combination of these
methods.
At
September 30, 2006, our portfolio of domestic investments consisted of 241
healthcare facilities, located in 27 states and operated by 33 third-party
operators. Our gross investment in these facilities, net of impairments and
before reserve for uncollectible loans, totaled approximately $1.3 billion
at
September 30, 2006, with approximately 98% of our real estate investments
related to long-term care facilities. This portfolio is made up of:
·
|
227 long-term
healthcare facilities;
|
·
|
two
rehabilitation hospitals owned and leased to third
parties;
|
·
|
fixed
rate mortgages on 10 long-term healthcare facilities; and
|
·
|
two
long-term healthcare facilities that are currently held for sale.
|
At
September 30, 2006, we also held other investments of approximately $37 million,
consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our
facilities.

RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS
Advocat
Inc.
In
November 2000, Advocat Inc., or Advocat, an operator of various skilled nursing
facilities owned by or mortgaged to us, was in default on its obligations
to us.
As a result, we entered into an agreement with Advocat with respect to the
restructuring of Advocat’s obligations pursuant to leases and mortgages for the
facilities then operated by Advocat, which is referred to herein as the Initial
Advocat Restructuring. As part of the Initial Advocat Restructuring in 2000,
Advocat issued to us (i) 393,658 shares of Advocat’s Series B non-voting,
redeemable (on or after September 30, 2007), convertible preferred stock,
which
was convertible into up to 706,576 shares of Advocat’s common stock
(representing 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Advocat’s common stock on a
fully diluted, as-converted basis and accruing dividends at 7% per annum),
and
(ii) a secured convertible subordinated note in the amount of $1.7 million
bearing interest at 7% per annum with a September 30, 2007 maturity.
Subsequent
to the Initial Advocat Restructuring, Advocat’s operations and financial
condition have improved and there has been a significant increase in the
market
value of Advocat’s common stock from approximately $0.31 per share at the time
of the Initial Advocat Restructuring to the closing price on October 20,
2006 of
$18.84. As a result of the significant increase in the value of the common
stock
underlying the Series B preferred stock of Advocat held by us, on October
20,
2006 we again restructured our relationship with Advocat, which is referred
to
herein as the Second Advocat Restructuring, by entering into a Restructuring
Stock Issuance and Subscription Agreement with Advocat, or the 2006 Advocat
Agreement. Pursuant to the 2006 Advocat Agreement, we exchanged the Advocat
Series B preferred stock and subordinated note issued in the Initial Advocat
Restructuring for 5,000 shares of Advocat’s Series C non-convertible, redeemable
(at our option after September 30, 2010) preferred stock with a face value
of
approximately $4.9 million and a dividend rate of 7% payable quarterly, and
a
secured non-convertible subordinated note in the amount of $2.5 million maturing
September 30, 2007 and bearing interest at 7% per annum. As part of the Second
Advocat Restructuring, we also amended our Consolidated Amended and Restated
Master Lease by and between one of our subsidiaries, as lessor, and a subsidiary
of Advocat, as lessee, to commence a new 12-year lease term through September
30, 2018 (with a renewal option for an additional 12 year term) and Advocat
has
agreed to increase the master lease annual rent by approximately $687,000
to
approximately $14 million commencing on January 1, 2007.
Amendment
to New Credit Facility
At
September 30, 2006, we had $157.5 million outstanding under our $200 million
revolving senior secured credit facility, as amended, or the New Credit
Facility, and $2.5 million was utilized for the issuance of letters of credit,
leaving availability of $40.0 million. The $157.5 million of outstanding
borrowings had a blended interest rate of 6.57% at September 30, 2006.
On
October 23, 2006, we entered into a Second Amendment, Waiver and Consent
to
Credit Agreement, or the Second Amendment, pursuant to which the lenders
under
the New Credit Facility waived any potential misrepresentations and events
of
default that could have been caused by the restatement of certain of our
financial statements reflected in amendments to our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the period ending December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q
for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006,
respectively, referred to herein as the Restatement.
Discontinued
Operations
We
are
re-issuing as set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, in an updated format,
our
historical financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005,
2004, and 2003, in connection with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets,” or SFAS No. 144. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 require,
among other things, that the primary assets and liabilities and the results
of
operations of our real properties that have been sold subsequent to January
1,
2003, or are held for disposition subsequent to January 1, 2003, be classified
as discontinued operations and segregated in our consolidated Statements
of
Operations and Balance Sheets. In compliance with SFAS No. 144, we have
presented the net operating results and the assets and liabilities of those
properties sold or classified as held for disposition through September 30,
2006, as discontinued operations. Under SEC requirements, the same reclassification
of continuing and discontinued operations as prescribed by SFAS No. 144 is
required for all previously issued annual financial statements if those
financial statements are included in subsequent filings with the SEC under
the
Securities Act of 1933, even though those financial statements relate to
periods
prior to the date of the reclassification. This reclassification has no effect
on our reported net income available to common stockholders.

This
prospectus updates our Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges, Ratio of Earnings
to
Combined Fixed Charges and Preferred Stock Dividends, Selected Financial
Data,
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of
Operations, and the consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal years
ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, to reflect the primary assets and liabilities
and the results of operations of the Company’s real properties that have been
sold prior to September 30, 2006 or are held for disposition at September
30,
2006, as discontinued operations. All other material items in this prospectus
remain unchanged with respect to information included in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the “Form
10-K/A”).

RISK
FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks described below. These risks are not
the
only ones that we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are
unaware of, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may become important
factors that affect us. If any of the following risks occurs, our business,
financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely
affected.
Risks
Related to the Operators of Our
Facilities
Our
financial position could be weakened and our ability to fulfill our obligations
under our indebtedness could be limited if any of our major operators were
unable to meet their obligations to us or failed to renew or extend their
relationship with us as their lease terms expire, or if we were unable to
lease
or re-lease our facilities or make mortgage loans on economically favorable
terms. These adverse developments could arise due to a number of factors,
including those listed below.
Our
recent efforts to restructure and stabilize our portfolio may
not prove to be successful.
In
large
part as a result of the 1997 changes in Medicare reimbursement of services
provided by SNFs and reimbursement cuts imposed under state Medicaid programs,
a
number of operators of our properties have encountered significant financial
difficulties during the last several years. In 1999, our investment portfolio
consisted of 216 properties and our largest public operators (by investment)
were Sun Healthcare Group, Inc., or Sun, Integrated Health Services, or IHS,
Advocat, Inc., or Advocat, and Mariner Health Care, Inc., or Mariner. Some
of
these operators, including Sun, IHS and Mariner, subsequently filed for
bankruptcy protection. Other of our operators were required to undertake
significant restructuring efforts. We have restructured our arrangements
with
many of our operators whereby we have renegotiated lease and mortgage terms,
re-leased properties to new operators and have closed and/or disposed of
properties. At September 30, 2006, our investment portfolio consisted of
241
properties and our largest public operators (by investment) were Sun (17%)
and
Advocat (8%). Our largest private company operators (by investment) were
CommuniCare Health Services, or CommuniCare, (15%), Haven Eldercare, LLC,
or
Haven, (9%), Home Quality Management, Inc., or HQM, (8%), Guardian LTC
Management, Inc., or Guardian, (7%), Nexion Health, Inc., or Nexion, (6%),
and
Essex Healthcare Corporation, or Essex, (6%). We cannot assure you that our
recent efforts to restructure and stabilize our property portfolio will be
successful.
The
bankruptcy, insolvency or financial deterioration of our
operators could delay our ability to collect unpaid rents or require us to
find
new operators for rejected facilities.
We
are
exposed to the risk that our operators may not be able to meet their
obligations, which may result in their bankruptcy or insolvency. Although
our
leases and loans provide us the right to terminate an investment, evict an
operator, demand immediate repayment and other remedies, title 11 of the
United
States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1330, as amended and supplemented, or the
Bankruptcy Code, affords certain protections to a party that has filed for
bankruptcy that would probably render certain of these remedies unenforceable,
or, at the very least, delay our ability to pursue such remedies. In addition,
an operator in bankruptcy may be able to restrict our ability to collect
unpaid
rent or mortgage payments during the bankruptcy case.
Furthermore,
the receipt of liquidation proceeds or the replacement of an operator that
has
defaulted on its lease or loan could be delayed by the approval process of
any
federal, state or local agency necessary for the transfer of the property
or the
replacement of the operator licensed to manage the facility. In addition,
some
significant expenditures associated with real estate investment, such as
real
estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances
cause a reduction in income from the investment. In order to protect our
investments, we may take possession of a property or even become licensed
as an
operator, which might expose us to successor liability under government programs
(or otherwise) or require us to indemnify subsequent operators to whom we
might
transfer the operating rights and licenses. Third-party payors may also suspend
payments to us following foreclosure until we receive the required licenses
to
operate the facilities. Should such events occur, our income and cash flow
from
operations would be adversely affected.
5
A
debtor may have the right to assume or reject a lease with us
under bankruptcy law and his or her decision could delay or limit our ability
to
collect rents thereunder.
If
one or
more of our lessees files bankruptcy relief, the Bankruptcy Code provides
that a
debtor has the option to assume or reject the unexpired lease within a certain
period of time. However, our lease arrangements with operators that operate
more
than one of our facilities are generally made pursuant to a single master
lease
covering all of that operator’s facilities leased from us, and consequently, it
is possible that in bankruptcy the debtor-lessee may be required to assume
or
reject the master lease as a whole, rather than making the decision on a
facility by facility basis, thereby preventing the debtor-lessee from assuming
only the better performing facilities and terminating the leasing arrangement
with respect to the poorer performing facilities. The Bankruptcy Code generally
requires that a debtor must assume or reject a contract in its entirety.
Thus, a
debtor cannot choose to keep the beneficial provisions of a contract while
rejecting the burdensome ones; the contract must be assumed or rejected as
a
whole. However, where under applicable law a contract (even though it is
contained in a single document) is determined to be divisible or severable
into
different agreements, or similarly where a collection of documents are
determined to constitute separate agreements instead of a single, integrated
contract, then in those circumstances a debtor/trustee may be allowed to
assume
some of the divisible or separate agreements while rejecting the others.
Whether
a master lease agreement would be determined to be a single contract or a
divisible agreement, and hence whether a bankruptcy court would require a
master
lease agreement to be assumed or rejected as a whole, would depend on a number
of factors some of which may include, but may not necessarily be limited
to, the
following:
· | applicable state law; |
·
|
the
parties’ intent;
|
·
|
whether
the master lease agreement and related documents were executed
contemporaneously;
|

The
Bankruptcy Code provides that a debtor has the power and the option to assume,
assume and assign to a third party, or reject the unexpired lease. In the
event
that the unexpired lease is assumed on behalf of the debtor-lessee, obligations
under the lease generally would be entitled to administrative priority over
other unsecured pre-bankruptcy claims. If the debtor chooses to assume the
lease
(or assume and assign the lease), then the debtor is required to cure all
monetary defaults, or provide adequate assurance that it will promptly cure
such
defaults. However, the debtor-lessee may not have to cure historical
non-monetary defaults under the lease to the extent that they have not resulted
in an actual pecuniary loss, but the debtor-lessee must cure non-monetary
defaults under the lease from the time of assumption going forward. A debtor
must generally pay all rent payments coming due under the lease after the
bankruptcy filing but before the assumption or rejection of the lease. The
Bankruptcy Code provides that the debtor-lessee must make the decision regarding
assumption, assignment or rejection within a certain period of time. For
cases
filed on or after October 17, 2005, the time period to make the decision
is 120
days, subject to one extension ‘‘for cause.’’ A bankruptcy court may only
further extend this period for 90 days unless the lessor consents in
writing.
6
If
a
tenant rejects a lease under the Bankruptcy Code, it is deemed to be a
pre-petition breach of the lease, and the lessor’s claim arising therefrom may
be limited to any unpaid rent already due plus an amount equal to the rent
reserved under the lease, without acceleration, for the greater of one year,
and
15%, not to exceed three years, of the remaining term of such lease, following
the earlier of the petition date and repossession or surrender of the leased
property. If the debtor rejects the lease, the facility would be returned
to us.
In that event, if we were unable to re-lease the facility to a new operator
on
favorable terms or only after a significant delay, we could lose some or
all of
the associated revenue from that facility for an extended period of
time.
With
respect to our mortgage loans, the imposition of an automatic
stay under bankruptcy law could negatively impact our ability to foreclose
or
seek other remedies against a mortgagor.
Generally,
with respect to our mortgage loans, the imposition of an automatic stay under
the Bankruptcy Code precludes us from exercising foreclosure or other remedies
against the debtor without first obtaining stay relief from the bankruptcy
court. Pre-petition creditors generally do not have rights to the cash flows
from the properties underlying the mortgages unless their security interest
in
the property includes such cash flows. Mortgagees may, however, receive periodic
payments from the debtor/mortgagors. Such payments are referred to as adequate
protection payments. The timing of adequate protection payments and whether
the
mortgagees are entitled to such payments depends on negotiating an acceptable
settlement with the mortgagor (subject to approval of the bankruptcy court)
or
on the order of the bankruptcy court in the event a negotiated settlement
cannot
be achieved.
A
mortgagee also is treated differently from a landlord in three key respects.
First, the mortgage loan is not subject to assumption, assumption and
assignment, or rejection. Second, the mortgagee’s loan may be divided into a
secured claim for the portion of the mortgage debt that does not exceed the
value of the property securing the debt and a general unsecured claim for
the
portion of the mortgage debt that exceeds the value of the property. A secured
creditor such as our company is entitled to the recovery of interest and
reasonable fees, costs and charges provided for under the agreement under
which
such claim arose only if, and to the extent that, the value of the collateral
exceeds the amount owed. If the value of the collateral exceeds the amount
of
the debt, interest as well as reasonable fees, costs, and charges are not
necessarily required to be paid during the progress of the bankruptcy case,
but
they will accrue until confirmation of a plan of reorganization/liquidation
and
are generally paid at confirmation or such other time as the court orders
unless
the debtor voluntarily makes a payment. If the value of the collateral held
by a
secured creditor is less than the secured debt (including such creditor’s
secured debt and the secured debt of any creditor with a more senior security
interest in the collateral), interest on the loan for the time period between
the filing of the case and confirmation may be disallowed. Finally, while
a
lease generally would either be assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected
with
all of its benefits and burdens intact, the terms of a mortgage, including
the
rate of interest and the timing of principal payments, may be modified under
certain circumstances if the debtor is able to effect a ‘‘cram down’’ under the
Bankruptcy Code. Before such a ‘‘cram down’’ is allowed, the Bankruptcy Court
must conclude that the treatment of the secured creditor’s claim is ‘‘fair and
equitable.’’
If
an operator files bankruptcy, our leases with the debtor could
be recharacterized as a financing agreement, which could negatively impact
our
rights under the lease.
Another
risk regarding our leases is that in an operator’s bankruptcy the leases could
be re-characterized as a financing agreement. In making such a determination,
a
bankruptcy court may consider certain factors, which may include, but are
not
necessarily limited to, the following:
·
|
whether
rent is calculated to provide a return on investment rather than
to
compensate the lessor for loss, use and possession of the
property;
|
·
|
whether
the property is purchased specifically for the lessee’s use or whether the
lessee selected, inspected, contracted for, and received the
property;
|
7
·
|
whether
the transaction is structured solely to obtain tax
advantages;
|
·
|
whether
the lessee is entitled to obtain ownership of the property at
the
expiration of the lease, and whether any option purchase price
is
unrelated to the value of the land; and
|
·
|
whether
the lessee assumed many of the obligations associated with outright
ownership of the property, including responsibility for maintenance,
repair, property taxes and
insurance.
|
If
an
operator defaults under one of our mortgage loans, we may have to foreclose
on
the mortgage or protect our interest by acquiring title to the property and
thereafter making substantial improvements or repairs in order to maximize
the
facility’s investment potential. Operators may contest enforcement of
foreclosure or other remedies, seek bankruptcy protection against our exercise
of enforcement or other remedies and/or bring claims for lender liability
in
response to actions to enforce mortgage obligations. If an operator seeks
bankruptcy protection, the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code
would preclude us from enforcing foreclosure or other remedies against the
operator unless relief is first obtained from the court having jurisdiction
over
the bankruptcy case. High ‘‘loan to value’’ ratios or declines in the value of
the facility may prevent us from realizing an amount equal to our mortgage
loan
upon foreclosure.
Operators
that fail to comply with the requirements of
governmental reimbursement programs such as Medicare or Medicaid, licensing
and
certification requirements, fraud and abuse regulations or new legislative
developments may be unable to meet their obligations to
us.
Our
operators are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations
that are subject to frequent and substantial changes (sometimes applied
retroactively) resulting from legislation, adoption of rules and regulations,
and administrative and judicial interpretations of existing law. The ultimate
timing or effect of these changes cannot be predicted. These changes may
have a
dramatic effect on our operators’ costs of doing business and on the amount of
reimbursement by both government and other third-party payors. The failure
of
any of our operators to comply with these laws, requirements and regulations
could adversely affect their ability to meet their obligations to us. In
particular:
·
|
Medicare
and Medicaid.
A
significant portion of our SNF operators’ revenue is derived from
governmentally-funded reimbursement programs, primarily Medicare
and
Medicaid, and failure to maintain certification and accreditation
in these
programs would result in a loss of funding from such programs.
Loss of
certification or accreditation could cause the revenues of our
operators
to decline, potentially jeopardizing their ability to meet their
obligations to us. In that event, our revenues from those facilities
could
be reduced, which could in turn cause the value of our affected
properties
to decline. State licensing and Medicare and Medicaid laws also
require
operators of nursing homes and assisted living facilities to
comply with
extensive standards governing operations. Federal and state agencies
administering those laws regularly inspect such facilities and
investigate
complaints. Our operators and their managers receive notices
of potential
sanctions and remedies from time to time, and such sanctions
have been
imposed from time to time on facilities operated by them. If
they are
unable to cure deficiencies, which have been identified or which
are
identified in the future, such sanctions may be imposed and if
imposed may
adversely affect our operators’ revenues, potentially jeopardizing their
ability to meet their obligations to us.
|
·
|
Licensing
and Certification.
Our operators and facilities are subject to regulatory and licensing
requirements of federal, state and local authorities and are
periodically
audited by them to confirm compliance. Failure to obtain licensure
or loss
or suspension of licensure would prevent a facility from operating
or
result in a suspension of reimbursement payments until all licensure
issues have been resolved and the necessary licenses obtained
or
reinstated. Our SNFs require governmental approval, in the form
of a
certificate of need that generally varies by state and is subject
to
change, prior to the addition or construction of new beds, the
addition of
services or certain capital expenditures. Some of our facilities
may be
unable to satisfy current and future certificate of need requirements
and
may for this reason be unable to continue operating in the future.
In such
event, our revenues from those facilities could be reduced or
eliminated
for an extended period of time or
permanently.

Fraud
and Abuse Laws and Regulations.
There are various extremely complex and largely uninterpreted
federal and
state laws governing a wide array of referrals, relationships
and
arrangements and prohibiting fraud by healthcare providers, including
criminal provisions that prohibit filing false claims or making
false
statements to receive payment or certification under Medicare
and
Medicaid, or failing to refund overpayments or improper payments.
Governments are devoting increasing attention and resources to
anti-fraud
initiatives against healthcare providers. The Health Insurance
Portability
and Accountability Act of 1996 and the Balanced Budget Act expanded
the
penalties for healthcare fraud, including broader provisions
for the
exclusion of providers from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Furthermore, the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department
of
Health and Human Services in cooperation with other federal and
state
agencies continues to focus on the activities of SNFs in certain
states in
which we have properties. In addition, the federal False Claims
Act allows
a private individual with knowledge of fraud to bring a claim
on behalf of
the federal government and earn a percentage of the federal government’s
recovery. Because of these incentives, these so-called ‘‘whistleblower’’
suits have become more frequent. The violation of any of these
laws or
regulations by an operator may result in the imposition of fines
or other
penalties that could jeopardize that operator’s ability to make lease or
mortgage payments to us or to continue operating its
facility.

Legislative
and Regulatory Developments.
Each year, legislative proposals are introduced or proposed in
Congress
and in some state legislatures that would affect major changes
in the
healthcare system, either nationally or at the state level. The
Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003,
or Medicare
Modernization Act, which is one example of such legislation,
was enacted
in late 2003. The Medicare reimbursement changes for the long
term care
industry under this Act are limited to a temporary increase in
the per
diem amount paid to SNFs for residents who have AIDS. The significant
expansion of other benefits for Medicare beneficiaries under
this Act,
such as the expanded prescription drug benefit, could result
in financial
pressures on the Medicare program that might result in future
legislative
and regulatory changes with impacts for our operators. Other
proposals
under consideration include efforts by individual states to control
costs
by decreasing state Medicaid reimbursements, a federal ‘‘Patient
Protection Act’’ to protect consumers in managed care plans, efforts to
improve quality of care and reduce medical errors throughout
the health
care industry and cost-containment initiatives by public and
private
payors. We cannot accurately predict whether any proposals will
be adopted
or, if adopted, what effect, if any, these proposals would have
on
operators and, thus, our
business.
|
Regulatory
proposals and rules are released on an ongoing basis that may have major
impacts
on the healthcare system generally and the skilled nursing and long-term
care
industries in particular.
Our
operators
depend on reimbursement from governmental and other
third-party payors and reimbursement rates from such payors may be
reduced.
Changes
in the reimbursement rate or methods of payment from third-party payors,
including the Medicare and Medicaid programs, or the implementation of other
measures to reduce reimbursements for services provided by our operators
has in
the past, and could in the future, result in a substantial reduction in our
operators’ revenues and operating margins. Additionally, net revenue realizable
under third-party payor agreements can change after examination and retroactive
adjustment by payors during the claims settlement processes or as a result
of
post-payment audits. Payors may disallow requests for reimbursement based on
determinations that certain costs are not reimbursable or reasonable or because
additional documentation is necessary or because certain services were not
covered or were not medically necessary. There also continue to be new
legislative and regulatory proposals that could impose further limitations
on
government and private payments to healthcare providers. In some cases, states
have enacted or are considering enacting measures designed to reduce their
Medicaid expenditures and to make changes to private healthcare insurance.
We
cannot assure you that adequate reimbursement levels will continue to be
available for the services provided by our operators, which are currently
being
reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid
or private third-party payors. Further limits on the scope of services
reimbursed and on reimbursement rates could have a material adverse effect
on
our operators’ liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, which
could cause the revenues of our operators to decline and potentially jeopardize
their ability to meet their obligations to us.
9
Our
operators
may be subject to significant legal actions that
could subject them to increased operating costs and substantial uninsured
liabilities, which may affect their ability to pay their lease and mortgage
payments to us.
As
is
typical in the healthcare industry, our operators are often subject to claims
that their services have resulted in resident injury or other adverse effects.
Many of these operators have experienced an increasing trend in the frequency
and severity of professional liability and general liability insurance claims
and litigation asserted against them. The insurance coverage maintained by
our
operators may not cover all claims made against them nor continue to be
available at a reasonable cost, if at all. In some states, insurance coverage
for the risk of punitive damages arising from professional liability and
general
liability claims and/or litigation may not, in certain cases, be available
to
operators due to state law prohibitions or limitations of availability. As
a
result, our operators operating in these states may be liable for punitive
damage awards that are either not covered or are in excess of their insurance
policy limits. We also believe that there has been, and will continue to
be, an
increase in governmental investigations of long-term care providers,
particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false claims, as well as an
increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations. Insurance
is not available to cover such losses. Any adverse determination in a legal
proceeding or governmental investigation, whether currently asserted or arising
in the future, could have a material adverse effect on an operator’s financial
condition. If an operator is unable to obtain or maintain insurance coverage,
if
judgments are obtained in excess of the insurance coverage, if an operator
is
required to pay uninsured punitive damages, or if an operator is subject
to an
uninsurable government enforcement action, the operator could be exposed
to
substantial additional liabilities.
Increased
competition as well as increased operating costs have
resulted in lower revenues for some of our operators and may affect the ability
of our tenants to meet their payment obligations to
us.
The
healthcare industry is highly competitive and we expect that it may become
more
competitive in the future. Our operators are competing with numerous other
companies providing similar healthcare services or alternatives such as home
health agencies, life care at home, community-based service programs, retirement
communities and convalescent centers. We cannot be certain the operators
of all
of our facilities will be able to achieve occupancy and rate levels that
will
enable them to meet all of their obligations to us. Our operators may encounter
increased competition in the future that could limit their ability to attract
residents or expand their businesses and therefore affect their ability to
pay
their lease or mortgage payments.
The
market for qualified nurses, healthcare professionals and other key personnel
is
highly competitive and our operators may experience difficulties in attracting
and retaining qualified personnel. Increases in labor costs due to higher
wages
and greater benefits required to attract and retain qualified healthcare
personnel incurred by our operators could affect their ability to pay their
lease or mortgage payments. This situation could be particularly acute in
certain states that have enacted legislation establishing minimum staffing
requirements.
Risks
Related to Us and Our Operations
In
addition to the operator related risks discussed above, there are a number
of
risks directly associated with us and our operations.
We
rely on external sources of capital to fund future capital
needs, and if we encounter difficulty in obtaining such capital, we may not
be
able to make future investments necessary to grow our business or meet maturing
commitments.
In
order
to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we are required, among
other things, to distribute each year to our stockholders at least 90% of
our
REIT taxable income. Because of this distribution requirement, we may not
be
able to fund, from cash retained from operations, all future capital needs,
including capital
needs to make investments and to satisfy or refinance maturing commitments.
As a
result, we rely on external sources of capital, including debt and equity
financing. If we are unable to obtain needed capital at all or only on
unfavorable terms from these sources, we might not be able to make the
investments needed to grow our business, or to meet our obligations and
commitments as they mature, which could negatively affect the ratings of
our
debt and even, in extreme circumstances, affect our ability to continue
operations. Our access to capital depends upon a number of factors over which
we
have little or no control, including general market conditions and the market’s
perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings
and cash distributions and the market price of the shares of our capital
stock.
Generally speaking, difficult capital market conditions in our industry during
the past several years and our need to stabilize our portfolio have limited
our
access to capital. The “related party tenant” issue discussed in “Note 15 -
Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to our audited consolidated financial
statements
for the
year ended December 31, 2005 included elsewhere in this prospectus may make
it
more difficult for us to raise additional capital unless and until we enter
into
a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, or otherwise
resolve such issue. While we currently have sufficient cash flow from operations
to fund our obligations and commitments, we may not be in position to take
advantage of attractive investment opportunities for growth in the event
that we
are unable to access the capital markets on a timely basis or we are only
able
to obtain financing on unfavorable terms.
10
Our
ability to raise capital through sales of equity is dependent,
in part, on the market price of our common stock, and our failure to meet
market
expectations with respect to our business could negatively impact the market
price of our common stock and limit our ability to sell
equity.
As
with
other publicly-traded companies, the availability of equity capital will
depend,
in part, on the market price of our common stock which, in turn, will depend
upon various market conditions and other factors that may change from time
to
time including:
·
|
the
extent of investor interest;
|
·
|
the
general reputation of REITs and the attractiveness of their equity
securities in comparison to other equity securities, including
securities
issued by other real estate-based
companies;
|
·
|
our
financial performance and that of our
operators;
|
·
|
the
contents of analyst reports about us and the REIT
industry;
|
·
|
general
stock and bond market conditions, including changes in interest
rates on
fixed income securities, which may lead prospective purchasers
of our
common stock to demand a higher annual yield from future
distributions;
|
·
|
our
failure to maintain or increase our dividend, which is dependent,
to a
large part, on growth of funds from operations which in turn
depends upon
increased revenues from additional investments and rental increases;
and
|
·
|
other
factors such as governmental regulatory action and changes in
REIT tax
laws.
|
The
market value of the equity securities of a REIT is generally based upon the
market’s perception of the REIT’s growth potential and its current and potential
future earnings and cash distributions. Our failure to meet the market’s
expectation with regard to future earnings and cash distributions would likely
adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We
are subject to risks associated with debt financing, which
could negatively impact our business, limit our ability to make distributions
to
our stockholders and to repay maturing debt.
Financing
for future investments and our maturing commitments may be provided by
borrowings under our revolving senior secured credit facility, as amended,
or
New Credit Facility, private or public offerings of debt, the assumption
of
secured indebtedness, mortgage financing on a portion of our owned portfolio
or
through joint ventures.
We are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including
the
risks that our cash flow will be insufficient to make timely payments of
interest, that we will be unable to refinance existing indebtedness and that
the
terms of refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing
indebtedness. If we are unable to refinance or extend principal payments
due at
maturity or pay them with proceeds from other capital transactions, our cash
flow may not be sufficient in all years to pay distributions to our stockholders
and to repay all maturing debt. Furthermore, if prevailing interest rates,
changes in our debt ratings or other factors at the time of refinancing result
in higher interest rates upon refinancing, the interest expense relating
to that
refinanced indebtedness would increase, which could reduce our profitability
and
the amount of dividends we are able to pay. Moreover, additional debt financing
increases the amount of our leverage.
11
Certain
of our operators account for a significant percentage of our
revenues.
Based
on
existing contractual rent and lease payments regarding the restructuring
of
certain existing investments, as of September 30, 2006, Advocat, Sun and
Communicare each account for over 10% of our current contractual monthly
revenues, with Sun, Communicare and Advocat accounting for approximately
18%,
15% and 11%, respectively, of our current contractual monthly revenues.
Additionally, as of September 30, 2006, our top six operators, which each
accounted for over 5% of current contractual monthly revenues, collectively
account for approximately 66% of our current contractual monthly revenues.
The
failure or inability of any of these operators to pay their obligations to
us
could materially reduce our revenues and net income, which could in turn
reduce
the amount of dividends we pay and cause our stock price to
decline.
Unforeseen
costs associated with the acquisition of new properties
could reduce our profitability.
Our
business strategy contemplates future acquisitions that may not prove to
be
successful. For example, we might encounter unanticipated difficulties and
expenditures relating to any acquired properties, including contingent
liabilities, or newly acquired properties might require significant management
attention that would otherwise be devoted to our ongoing business. If we
agree
to provide funding to enable healthcare operators to build, expand or renovate
facilities on our properties and the project is not completed, we could be
forced to become involved in the development to ensure completion or we could
lose the property. These costs may negatively affect our results of
operations.
Our
assets may be subject to impairment
charges.
We
periodically, but not less than annually, evaluate our real estate investments
and other assets for impairment indicators. The judgment regarding the existence
of impairment indicators is based on factors such as market conditions, operator
performance and legal structure. If we determine that a significant impairment
has occurred, we would be required to make an adjustment to the net carrying
value of the asset, which could have a material adverse affect on our results
of
operations and funds from operations in the period in which the write-off
occurs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized an
impairment loss associated with one facility for approximately
$100,000.
We
may not be able to sell certain closed facilities for their
book value.
From
time
to time, we close facilities and actively market such facilities for sale.
To
the extent we are unable to sell these properties for our book value, we
may be
required to take a non-cash impairment charge or loss on the sale, either
of
which would reduce our net income.
12
Our
substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial
condition.
We
have
substantial indebtedness and we may increase our indebtedness in the future.
As
of September 30, 2006, we had total debt of approximately $684 million, of
which
$158 million consisted of borrowings under our Credit Facility, $310 million
of
which consisted of our 7% senior notes due 2014 and $175 million of which
consisted of our 7% senior notes due 2016. Our level of indebtedness could
have
important consequences to our stockholders. For example, it could:
·
|
limit
our ability to satisfy our obligations with respect to holders
of our
capital stock;
|
·
|
increase
our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry
conditions;
|
·
|
limit
our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working
capital,
capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements,
or to carry
out other aspects of our business plan;
|
·
|
require
us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations
to
payments on indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of
such cash
flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other
general
corporate requirements, or to carry out other aspects of our
business
plan;
|
·
|
require
us to pledge as collateral substantially all of our
assets;
|
·
|
require
us to maintain certain debt coverage and financial ratios at
specified
levels, thereby reducing our financial
flexibility;
|
·
|
limit
our ability to make material acquisitions or take advantage of
business
opportunities that may arise;
|
·
|
expose
us to fluctuations in interest rates, to the extent our borrowings
bear
variable rates of interests;
|
·
|
limit
our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our
business
and industry; and
|
·
|
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt. |
Our
real estate investments are relatively
illiquid.
Real
estate investments are relatively illiquid and, therefore, tend to limit
our
ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic
or
other conditions. All of our properties are ‘‘special purpose’’ properties that
could not be readily converted to general residential, retail or office use.
Healthcare facilities that participate in Medicare or Medicaid must meet
extensive program requirements, including physical plant and operational
requirements, which are revised from time to time. Such requirements may
include
a duty to admit Medicare and Medicaid patients, limiting the ability of the
facility to increase its private pay census beyond certain limits. Medicare
and
Medicaid facilities are regularly inspected to determine compliance and may
be
excluded from the programs—in some cases without a prior hearing—for failure to
meet program requirements. Transfers of operations of nursing homes and other
healthcare-related facilities are subject to regulatory approvals not required
for transfers of other types of commercial operations and other types of
real
estate. Thus, if the operation of any of our properties becomes unprofitable
due
to competition, age of improvements or other factors such that our lessee
or
mortgagor becomes unable to meet its obligations on the lease or mortgage
loan,
the liquidation value of the property may be substantially less, particularly
relative to the amount owing on any related mortgage loan, than would be
the
case if the property were readily adaptable to other uses. The receipt of
liquidation proceeds or the replacement of an operator that has defaulted
on its
lease or loan could be delayed by the approval process of any federal, state
or
local agency necessary for the transfer of the property or the replacement
of
the operator with a new operator licensed to manage the facility. In addition,
certain significant expenditures associated with real estate investment,
such as
real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when
circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment. Should such
events occur, our income and cash flows from operations would be adversely
affected.
As
an owner or lender with respect to real property, we may be
exposed to possible environmental liabilities.
Under
various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations,
a current or previous owner of real property or a secured lender, such as
us,
may be liable in certain circumstances for the costs of investigation, removal
or remediation of, or related releases of, certain hazardous or toxic substances
at, under or disposed
of in connection with such property, as well as certain other potential costs
relating to hazardous or toxic substances, including government fines and
damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property. Such laws often impose
liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible
for,
the presence or disposal of such substances and liability may be imposed
on the
owner in connection with the activities of an operator of the property. The
cost
of any required investigation, remediation, removal, fines or personal or
property damages and the owner’s liability therefore could exceed the value of
the property and/or the assets of the owner. In addition, the presence of
such
substances, or the failure to properly dispose of or remediate such substances,
may adversely affect our operators’ ability to attract additional residents, the
owner’s ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property
as collateral which, in turn, would reduce the owner’s
revenues.
13
Although
our leases and mortgage loans require the lessee and the mortgagor to indemnify
us for certain environmental liabilities, the scope of such obligations may
be
limited. For instance, most of our leases do not require the lessee to indemnify
us for environmental liabilities arising before the lessee took possession
of
the premises. Further, we cannot assure you that any such mortgagor or lessee
would be able to fulfill its indemnification obligations.
The
industry in which we operate is highly competitive. This
competition may prevent us from raising prices at the same pace as our costs
increase.
We
compete for additional healthcare facility investments with other healthcare
investors, including other REITs. The operators of the facilities compete
with
other regional or local nursing care facilities for the support of the medical
community, including physicians and acute care hospitals, as well as the
general
public. Some significant competitive factors for the placing of patients
in
skilled and intermediate care nursing facilities include quality of care,
reputation, physical appearance of the facilities, services offered, family
preferences, physician services and price. If our cost of capital should
increase relative to the cost of capital of our competitors, the spread that
we
realize on our investments may decline if competitive pressures limit or
prevent
us from charging higher lease or mortgage rates.
We
are named as defendants in litigation arising out of
professional liability and general liability claims relating to our previously
owned and operated facilities that if decided against us, could adversely
affect
our financial condition.
We
and
several of our wholly-owned subsidiaries have been named as defendants in
professional liability and general liability claims related to our owned
and
operated facilities. Other third-party managers responsible for the day-to-day
operations of these facilities have also been named as defendants in these
claims. In these suits, patients of certain previously owned and operated
facilities have alleged significant damages, including punitive damages,
against
the defendants. The lawsuits are in various stages of discovery and we are
unable to predict the likely outcome at this time. We continue to vigorously
defend these claims and pursue all rights we may have against the managers
of
the facilities, under the terms of the management agreements. We have insured
these matters, subject to self-insured retentions of various amounts. There
can
be no assurance that we will be successful in our defense of these matters
or in
asserting our claims against various managers of the subject facilities or
that
the amount of any settlement or judgment will be substantially covered by
insurance or that any punitive damages will be covered by
insurance.
We
are subject to significant anti-takeover
provisions.
Our
articles of incorporation and bylaws contain various procedural and other
requirements which could make it difficult for stockholders to effect certain
corporate actions. Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes and
our
Board members are elected for terms that are staggered. Our Board of Directors
also has the authority to issue additional shares of preferred stock and
to fix
the preferences, rights and limitations of the preferred stock without
stockholder approval. We have also adopted a stockholders rights plan which
provides for share purchase rights to become exercisable at a discount if
a
person or group acquires more than 9.9% of our common stock or announces
a
tender or exchange offer for more than 9.9% of our common stock. These
provisions could discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or make it
more
difficult for a third party to gain control of us, which could adversely
affect
the market price of our securities.
14
We
may change our investment strategies and policies and capital
structure.
Our
Board
of Directors, without the approval of our stockholders, may alter our investment
strategies and policies if it determines in the future that a change is in
our
stockholders’ best interests. The methods of implementing our investment
strategies and policies may vary as new investments and financing techniques
are
developed.
If
we fail to maintain our REIT status, we will be subject to
federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate
rates.
We
were
organized to qualify for taxation as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860
of
the Internal Revenue Code. Except with respect to the potential Advocat “related
party tenant” issue discussed below, we believe we have conducted, and we intend
to continue to conduct, our operations so as to qualify as a REIT. Qualification
as a REIT involves the satisfaction of numerous requirements, some on an annual
and some on a quarterly basis, established under highly technical and complex
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code for which there are only limited
judicial and administrative interpretations and involve the determination of
various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control.
We
cannot assure you that we will at all times satisfy these rules and
tests.
If
we
were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, as a result of a
determination that we failed to meet the annual distribution requirement or
otherwise, we would be subject to federal income tax, including any applicable
alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates with
respect to each such taxable year for which the statute of limitations remains
open. Moreover, unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions,
we
also would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years
following the year during which qualification is lost. This treatment would
significantly reduce our net earnings and cash flow because of our additional
tax liability for the years involved, which could significantly impact our
financial condition.
In
connection with exploring the potential disposition of the Advocat Series B
preferred stock, we were advised by our tax counsel that due to the structure
of
the Series B preferred stock issued by Advocat to us in 2000 in connection
with
a prior restructuring, Advocat may be deemed to be a “related party tenant”
under applicable federal income tax rules and, in such event, rental income
from
Advocat would not be qualifying income under the gross income tests that are
applicable to REITs. In order to maintain qualification as a REIT, we annually
must satisfy certain tests regarding the source of our gross income. The
applicable federal income tax rules provide a “savings clause” for REITs that
fail to satisfy the REIT gross income tests, if such failure is due to
reasonable cause. A REIT that qualifies for the savings clause will retain
its
REIT status but will pay a tax. On December 15, 2006, we submitted to the IRS
a
request for a closing agreement to resolve the “related party tenant” issue.
Since that time, we have had additional conversations with the IRS, who has
encouraged us to move forward with the process of obtaining a closing agreement,
and we will be submitting additional documentation in support of the issuance
of
a closing agreement with respect to this matter. While we believe there are
valid arguments that Advocat should not be deemed a “related party tenant,” the
matter is still not free from doubt, and we believe it is in our best interest
to move forward with the request for a closing agreement in order to resolve
the
matter, minimize potential penalties and obtain assurances regarding our
continuing REIT status. If we are able to enter into the closing agreement
with
the IRS, the closing agreement will conclude that any failure to satisfy the
gross income tests was due to reasonable cause. In the event that it is
determined that the “savings clause” described above does not apply and we are
unable to conclude a closing agreement with the IRS, we could be treated as
having failed to qualify as a REIT for one or more taxable years. If we fail
to
qualify for taxation as a REIT for any taxable year, our income will be taxed
at
regular corporate rates, and we could be disqualified as a REIT for the
following four taxable years.
To
maintain our REIT status, we must distribute at least 90% of
our taxable income each year.
We
generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income to our
stockholders to maintain our REIT status. To the extent that we do not
distribute all of our net capital gain or do distribute at least 90%, but less
than 100% of our “REIT taxable income,” as adjusted, we will be subject to tax
thereon at regular ordinary and capital gain corporate tax rates.
15
Even
if we remain qualified as a REIT, we may face other tax
liabilities that reduce our cash flow.
Even
if
we remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain
federal, state and local taxes on our income and assets, including taxes on
any
undistributed income, tax on income from some activities conducted as a result
of a foreclosure, and state or local income, property and transfer taxes. Any
of
these taxes would decrease cash available for the payment of our debt
obligations. In addition, we may derive income through Taxable REIT
Subsidiaries, or TRSs, which will then be subject to corporate level income
tax
at regular rates.
Complying
with REIT requirements may affect our
profitability.
To
qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy
tests concerning, among other things, the nature and diversification of our
assets, the sources of our income and the amounts we distribute to our
stockholders. Thus we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive
investments from our portfolio in order to satisfy the asset and income tests
or
to qualify under certain statutory relief provisions. We may also be required
to
make distributions to stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not
have funds readily available for distribution (e.g., if we have assets which
generate mismatches between taxable income and available cash). Then, having
to
comply with the distribution requirement could cause us to: (i) sell assets
in
adverse market conditions; (ii) borrow on unfavorable terms; or (iii)
distribute amounts that would otherwise be invested in future acquisitions,
capital expenditures or repayment of debt. As a result, satisfying the REIT
requirements could have an adverse effect on our business results and
profitability.
We
depend upon our key employees and may be unable to attract or
retain sufficient numbers of qualified personnel.
Our
future performance depends to a significant degree upon the continued
contributions of our executive management team and other key employees.
Accordingly, our future success depends on our ability to attract, hire, train
and retain highly skilled management and other qualified personnel. Competition
for qualified employees is intense, and we compete for qualified employees
with
companies that may have greater financial resources than we have. Our employment
agreements with our executive officers provide that their employment may be
terminated by either party at any time. Consequently, we may not be successful
in attracting, hiring, and training and retaining the people we need, which
would seriously impede our ability to implement our business
strategy.
In
the event we are unable to satisfy regulatory requirements
relating to internal controls, or if these internal controls over financial
reporting are not effective, our business could
suffer.
Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires companies to do a comprehensive
evaluation of their internal controls. As a result, each year we evaluate our
internal controls over financial reporting so that our management can certify
as
to the effectiveness of our internal controls and our auditor can publicly
attest to this certification. Our efforts to comply with Section 404 and related
regulations regarding our management’s required assessment of internal control
over financial reporting and our independent auditors’ attestation of that
assessment has required, and continues to require, the commitment of significant
financial and managerial resources. If for any period our management is unable
to ascertain the effectiveness of our internal controls or if our auditors
cannot attest to management’s certification, we could be subject to regulatory
scrutiny and a loss of public confidence, which could have an adverse effect
on
our business.
In
connection
with the restatement of our financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, we identified a material
weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which could
materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
In
connection with the restatement of our financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2005, our management identified a material weakness in internal
control over financial reporting. Our management determined that as of December
31, 2005, we lacked sufficient internal control processes, procedures and
personnel resources necessary to address accounting for certain complex and/or
non-routine transactions. This material weakness resulted in errors in
accounting for financial instruments, income taxes and straight-line rental
revenue and could result in a material misstatement to our consolidated
financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Due to this material weakness, management concluded that we did not maintain
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2005.
16
While
we
have engaged in, and continue to engage in, substantial efforts to address
the
material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as of the
date of this prospectus we have not concluded that our internal control over
financial reporting is effective. We cannot be certain that any remedial
measures we have taken or plan to take will ensure that we design, implement
and
maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the
future or will be sufficient to address and eliminate the material weakness.
Our
inability to remedy this identified material weakness or any additional
deficiencies or material weaknesses that may be identified in the future, could,
among other things, cause us to fail to file our periodic reports with the
SEC
in a timely manner or require us to incur additional costs or to divert
management resources. Due to its inherent limitations, even effective internal
control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. These limitations
may not prevent or detect all misstatements or fraud, regardless of their
effectiveness.
Risks
Related to Our Stock
The
market value of our stock could be substantially affected by
various factors.
The
share
price of our stock will depend on many factors, which may change from time
to
time, including:
·
|
the
market for similar securities issued by
REITs;
|
·
|
changes
in estimates by analysts;
|
·
|
our
ability to meet analysts’ estimates;
|
·
|
general
economic and financial market conditions;
and
|
·
|
our
financial condition, performance and
prospects.
|
Our
issuance
of additional capital stock, warrants or debt
securities, whether or not convertible, may reduce the market price for our
shares.
We
cannot
predict the effect, if any, that future sale of our capital stock, warrants
or
debt securities, or the availability of our securities for future sale, will
have on the market price of our shares, including our common stock. Sales of
substantial amounts of our common stock or preferred shares, warrants or debt
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock
in
the public market or the perception that such sales might occur could reduce
the
market price of our stock and the terms upon which we may obtain additional
equity financing in the future.
In
addition, we may issue additional capital stock in the future to raise capital
or as a result of the following:
·
|
The
issuance and exercise of options to purchase our common stock. As
of
December 31, 2005, we had outstanding options to acquire approximately
0.2 million
shares of our common stock. In addition, we may in the future issue
additional options or other securities convertible into or exercisable
for
our common stock under our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, our 2000 Stock
Incentive Plan, as amended, or other remuneration plans we establish
in
the future. We may also issue options or convertible securities to
our
employees in lieu of cash bonuses or to our directors in lieu of
director’s fees.
|
·
|
The
issuance of shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment and direct
stock
purchase plan.
|
·
|
The
issuance of debt securities exchangeable for our common
stock.
|
17
·
|
The
exercise of warrants we may issue in the
future.
|
·
|
Lenders
sometimes ask for warrants or other rights to acquire shares in connection
with providing financing. We cannot assure you that our lenders will
not
request such rights.
|
There
are no assurances of our ability to pay dividends in the
future.
In
2001,
our Board of Directors suspended dividends on our common stock and all series
of
preferred stock in an effort to generate cash to address then impending debt
maturities. In 2003, we paid all accrued but unpaid dividends on all series
of
preferred stock and reinstated dividends on our common stock and all series
of
preferred stock. However, our ability to pay dividends may be adversely affected
if any of the risks described above were to occur. Our payment of dividends
is
subject to compliance with restrictions contained in our New Credit Facility,
the indenture relating to our outstanding 7% senior notes due 2014, the
indenture relating to our outstanding 7% senior notes due 2016 and our preferred
stock. All dividends will be paid at the discretion of our Board of Directors
and will depend upon our earnings, our financial condition, maintenance of
our
REIT status and such other factors as our Board may deem relevant from time
to
time. There are no assurances of our ability to pay dividends in the future.
In
addition, our dividends in the past have included, and may in the future
include, a return of capital.
Holders
of our outstanding preferred stock have liquidation and
other rights that are senior to the rights of the holders of our common
stock.
Our
Board
of Directors has the authority to designate and issue preferred stock that
may
have dividend, liquidation and other rights that are senior to those of our
common stock. As of the date of this filing, 4,739,500 shares of our 8.375%
Series D cumulative redeemable preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
The
aggregate liquidation preference with respect to this outstanding preferred
stock is approximately $118.5 million,
and annual dividends on our outstanding preferred stock are approximately $9.9
million. Holders of our preferred stock are generally entitled to cumulative
dividends before any dividends may be declared or set aside on our common stock.
Upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, before
any payment is made to holders of our common stock, holders of our preferred
stock are entitled to receive a liquidation preference of $25 per share with
respect to the Series D preferred stock, plus any accrued and unpaid
distributions. This will reduce the remaining amount of our assets, if any,
available to distribute to holders of our common stock. In addition, holders
of
our preferred stock have the right to elect two additional directors to our
Board of Directors if six quarterly preferred dividends are in
arrears.
Legislative
or
regulatory action could adversely affect purchasers
of our stock.
In
recent
years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been
made
in the provisions of the federal income tax laws applicable to investments
similar to an investment in our stock. Changes are likely to continue to occur
in the future, and we cannot assure you that any of these changes will not
adversely affect our stockholder’s stock. Any of these changes could have an
adverse effect on an investment in our stock or on market value or resale
potential. Stockholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisor with
respect to the impact that recent legislation may have on their investment
and
the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and
proposals and their potential effect.
Recent
changes
in taxation of corporate dividends may adversely
affect the value of our stock.
The
Jobs
and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 that was enacted into law
May
28, 2003, among other things, generally reduces to 15% the maximum marginal
rate
of tax payable by individuals on dividends received from a regular C
corporation. This reduced tax rate, however, will not apply to dividends paid
to
individuals by a REIT on its shares, except for certain limited amounts. While
the earnings of a REIT that are distributed to its stockholders still generally
will be subject to less combined federal income taxation than earnings of a
non-REIT C corporation that are distributed to its stockholders net of
corporate-level tax, this legislation could cause individual investors to view
the stock of regular C corporations as more attractive relative to the shares
of
a REIT than was the case prior to the enactment of the legislation. Individual
investors could hold this view because the dividends from regular C corporations
will generally be taxed at a lower rate while dividends from REITs will
generally be taxed at the same rate as the individual’s other ordinary income.
We cannot predict what effect, if any, the enactment of this legislation may
have on the value of the shares of REITs in general or on the value of our
stock
in particular, either in terms of price or relative to other
investments.
18
Tax
Risks
We
have
submitted to the Internal Revenue Service a request for a
closing agreement and may not be able to obtain a closing agreement on
satisfactory terms.
Management
believes that certain of the terms of the Advocat Series B preferred stock
previously held by us could be interpreted as affecting our compliance with
federal income tax rules applicable to REITs regarding related party tenant
income. See “Note 15
- Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to our
audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 included
elsewhere herein.
On
December 15, 2006, we submitted to the IRS a request for a closing agreement
to
resolve the “related party tenant” issue. Since that time, we have had
additional conversations with the IRS, who has encouraged us to move forward
with the process of obtaining a closing agreement, and we will be
submitting additional documentation in support of the issuance of a
closing agreement with respect to this matter. While we believe there are
valid arguments that Advocat should not be deemed a “related party tenant,” the
matter still is not free from doubt, and we believe it is in our best interest
to proceed with the request for a closing agreement with the IRS in order to
resolve the matter, minimize potential interest charges and obtain assurances
regarding its continuing REIT status. If obtained, a closing agreement will
establish that any failure to satisfy the gross income tests was due to
reasonable cause. In the event that it is determined that the “savings clause”
described above does not apply, we could be treated as having failed to qualify
as a REIT for one or more taxable years.
As
noted
above, we have completed the Second Advocat Restructuring and have been advised
by tax counsel that we will not receive any non-qualifying related party tenant
income from Advocat in future fiscal years. Accordingly, we do not expect to
incur tax expense associated with related party tenant income in future periods
commencing January 1, 2007, assuming we enter into a closing agreement with
the
IRS that recognizes that reasonable cause existed for any failure to satisfy
the
REIT gross income tests as explained above. We will continue to accrue an income
tax liability related to this matter during 2006.
If
we
were to fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we would be subject
to
federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our
taxable income at regular corporate rates for such year, and distributions
to
stockholders would not be deductible by us in computing our taxable income.
Any
such corporate tax liability could be substantial and, unless we were
indemnified against such tax liability, would reduce the amount of cash we
have
available for distribution to our stockholders, which in turn could have a
material adverse impact on the value of, and trading prices for, our securities.
In addition, we would not be able to re-elect REIT status until the fifth
taxable year following the initial year of disqualification unless we were
to
qualify for relief under applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions. Thus,
for
example, if the IRS successfully challenges our status as a REIT solely for
our
taxable year ended December 31, 2005 based on our ownership of the Advocat
Series B preferred stock, we would not be able to re-elect REIT status until
our
taxable year which began January 1, 2010, unless we were to qualify for
relief. See “Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations” beginning on
page 90 of this prospectus for a discussion of the material federal income
tax consequences relating to us and the acquisition, holding and disposition
of
our securities.
In
the
notes to the consolidated financial statements made part of our quarterly report
on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
quarter ended September 30, 2006, we disclosed our accrual for a potential
tax
liability arising from our ownership of such securities. We believe, but can
provide no assurance, that we currently have sufficient assets to pay any such
tax liabilities. The ultimate resolution of any controversy over potential
tax
liabilities covered by the closing agreement may have a material adverse effect
on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, including if
we
are required to distribute deficiency dividends to our stockholders and/or
pay
additional taxes, interest and penalties to the IRS in amounts that exceed
the
amount of our reserves for potential tax liabilities. There can be no assurance
that the IRS will not assess us with substantial taxes, interest and penalties
above the amount for which we have reserved. The facts giving rise to our
request for a closing agreement are described in more detail under the caption
“Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations” beginning on page 90 of this
prospectus.

RATIO
OF
EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The
following table sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges on a reported
basis for the periods indicated. Earnings consist of income (loss) from
continuing operations plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest
expense and amortization of deferred financing costs. We have calculated the
ratio of earnings to fixed charges by adding net income (loss) from continuing
operations to fixed charges and dividing that sum by such fixed
charges.

interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs. We have
calculated the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock
dividends by adding net income (loss) from continuing operations to fixed
charges and dividing that sum by such fixed charges plus preferred dividends,
irrespective of whether or not such dividends were actually paid.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
At
September 30, 2006, our portfolio of domestic investments consisted of 241
healthcare facilities, located in 27 states and operated by 33 third-party
operators. Our gross investment in these facilities, net of impairments and
before reserve for uncollectible loans, totaled approximately $1.3 billion
at
September 30, 2006, with approximately 98% of our real estate investments
related to long-term care facilities. This portfolio is made up of 227 long-term
healthcare facilities, two rehabilitation hospitals owned and leased to third
parties, fixed rate mortgages on 10 long-term healthcare facilities and two
long-term healthcare facilities that are currently held for sale. At September
30, 2006, we also held other investments of approximately $37 million,
consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our
facilities.
Medicare
Reimbursement
All
of
our properties are used as healthcare facilities; therefore, we are directly
affected by the risk associated with the healthcare industry. Our lessees and
mortgagors, as well as any facilities that may be owned and operated for our
own
account from time to time, derive a substantial portion of their net operating
revenues from third-party payors, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
These programs are highly regulated by federal, state and local laws, rules
and
regulations and are subject to frequent and substantial change.
In
1997,
the Balanced Budget Act significantly reduced spending levels for the Medicare
and Medicaid programs, in part because the legislation modified the payment
methodology for skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs by shifting payments for
services provided to Medicare beneficiaries from a reasonable cost basis to
a
prospective payment system. Under the prospective payment system, SNFs are
paid
on a per diem prospective case-mix adjusted basis for all covered services.
Implementation of the prospective payment system has affected each long-term
care facility to a different degree, depending upon the amount of revenue such
facility derives from Medicare patients.
Legislation
adopted in 1999 and 2000 provided for a few temporary increases to Medicare
payment rates, but these temporary increases have since expired. Specifically,
in 1999 the Balanced Budget Refinement Act included a 4% across-the-board
increase of the adjusted federal per diem payment rates for all patient acuity
categories (known as “Resource Utilization Groups” or “RUGs”) that were in
effect from April 2000 through September 30, 2002. In 2000, the Benefits
Improvement and Protection Act included a 16.7% increase in the nursing
component of the case-mix adjusted federal periodic payment rate, which was
implemented in April 2000 and also expired October 1, 2002. The October 1,
2002
expiration of these temporary increases has had an adverse impact on the
revenues of the operators of SNFs and has negatively impacted some operators’
ability to satisfy their monthly lease or debt payments to us.
The
Balanced Budget Refinement Act and the Benefits Improvement and Protection
Act
also established temporary increases, beginning in April 2001, to Medicare
payment rates to SNFs that were designated to remain in place until the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, implemented refinements to the
existing RUG case-mix classification system to more accurately estimate the
cost
of non-therapy ancillary services. The Balanced Budget Refinement Act provided
for a 20% increase for 15 RUG categories until CMS modified the RUG case-mix
classification system. The Benefits Improvement and Protection Act modified
this
payment increase by reducing the 20% increase for three of the 15 RUGs to a
6.7%
increase and instituting an additional 6.7% increase for eleven other
RUGs.
On
August
4, 2005, CMS published a final rule, effective October 1, 2005, establishing
Medicare payments for SNFs under the prospective payment system for federal
fiscal year 2006 (October 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006). The final rule
modified the RUG case-mix classification system and added nine new categories
to
the system, expanding the number of RUGs from 44 to 53. The implementation
of
the RUG refinements triggered the expiration of the temporary payment increases
of 20% and 6.7% established by the Balanced Budget Refinement Act and the
Benefits Improvement and Protection Act, respectively.
24
Additionally,
CMS announced updates in the final rule to reimbursement rates for SNFs in
federal fiscal year 2006 based on an increase in the “full market-basket” of
3.1%. In the August 4, 2005 notice, CMS estimated that the increases in Medicare
reimbursements to SNFs arising from the refinements to the prospective payment
system and the market basket update under the final rule would offset the
reductions stemming from the elimination of the temporary increases during
federal fiscal year 2006. CMS estimated that there would be an overall increase
in Medicare payments to SNFs totaling $20 million in fiscal year 2006 compared
to 2005.
On
July
27, 2006, CMS posted a notice updating the payment rates to SNFs for fiscal
year
2007 (October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2007). The market basket increase factor
is 3.1% for 2007. CMS estimates that the payment update will increase aggregate
payments to SNFs nationwide by approximately $560 million in fiscal year 2007
compared to 2006.
Nonetheless,
we cannot accurately predict what effect, if any, these changes will have on
our
lessees and mortgagors in 2006 and beyond. These changes to the Medicare
prospective payment system for SNFs, including the elimination of temporary
increases, could adversely impact the revenues of the operators of nursing
facilities and could negatively impact the ability of some of our lessees and
mortgagors to satisfy their monthly lease or debt payments to us.
A
128%
temporary increase in the per diem amount paid to SNFs for residents who have
AIDS took effect on October 1, 2004. This temporary payment increase arose
from
the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, or
the
Medicare Modernization Act. Although CMS also noted that the AIDS add-on was
not
intended to be permanent, the July 2006 notice updating payment rates for SNFs
for fiscal year 2007 indicated that the increase will continue to remain in
effect for fiscal year 2007.
A
significant change enacted under the Medicare Modernization Act is the creation
of a new prescription drug benefit, Medicare Part D, which went into effect
January 1, 2006. The
significant expansion of benefits for Medicare beneficiaries arising under
the
expanded prescription drug benefit could result in financial pressures on the
Medicare program that might result in future legislative and regulatory changes
with impacts for our operators. As part of this new program, the prescription
drug benefits for patients who are dually eligible for both Medicare and
Medicaid are being transitioned from Medicaid to Medicare, and many of these
patients reside in long-term care facilities. The Medicare program experienced
significant operational difficulties in transitioning prescription drug coverage
for this population when the benefit went into effect on January 1, 2006,
although it is unclear whether or how issues involving Medicare Part D might
have any direct financial impacts on our operators.
On
February 8, 2006, the President signed into law a $39.7 billion budget
reconciliation package called the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, or Deficit
Reduction Act, to lower the federal budget deficit. The Deficit Reduction Act
included estimated net savings of $8.3 billion from the Medicare program over
5
years.
The
Deficit Reduction Act contained a provision reducing payments to SNFs for
allowable bad debts. Previously, Medicare reimbursed SNFs for 100% of
beneficiary bad debt arising from unpaid deductibles and coinsurance amounts.
In
2003, CMS released a proposed rule seeking to reduce bad debt reimbursement
rates for certain providers, including SNFs, by 30% over a three-year period.
Subsequently, in early 2006 the Deficit Reduction Act reduced payments to SNFs
for allowable bad debts by 30% effective October 1, 2005 for those individuals
not dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. Bad debt payments for the dually
eligible population will remain at 100%. Consistent with this legislation,
CMS
finalized its 2003 proposed rule on August 18, 2006, and the regulations became
effective on October 1, 2006. CMS estimates that implementation of this bad
debt
provision will result in a savings to the Medicare program of $490 million
from
FY 2006 to FY 2010. These reductions in Medicare payments for bad debt could
have a material adverse effect on our operators’ financial condition and
operations, which could adversely affect their ability to meet their payment
obligations to us.
The
Deficit Reduction Act also contained a provision governing the therapy caps
that
went into place under Medicare on January 1, 2006. The therapy caps limit the
physical therapy, speech-language therapy and occupation therapy services that
a
Medicare beneficiary can receive during a calendar year. The therapy caps were
in effect for calendar year 1999 and then suspended by Congress for three years.
An inflation-adjusted therapy limit ($1,590 per year) was implemented in
September of 2002, but then once again suspended in December of 2003 by the
Medicare Modernization Act. Under the Medicare Modernization Act, Congress
placed a two-year moratorium on implementation of the caps, which expired at
the
end of 2005.
25
The
inflation-adjusted therapy caps are set at $1,740 for calendar year 2006. These
caps do not apply to therapy services covered under Medicare Part A in a SNF,
although the caps apply in most other instances involving patients in SNFs
or
long-term care facilities who receive therapy services covered under Medicare
Part B. The Deficit Reduction Act permitted exceptions in 2006 for therapy
services to exceed the caps when the therapy services are deemed medically
necessary by the Medicare program. The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006,
signed into law on December 20, 2006, extends these exceptions through December
31, 2007. Future implementation of the therapy caps could have a material
adverse effect on our operators’ financial condition and operations, which could
adversely affect their ability to meet their payment obligations to
us.
In
general, we cannot be assured that federal reimbursement will remain at levels
comparable to present levels or that such reimbursement will be sufficient
for
our lessees or mortgagors to cover all operating and fixed costs necessary
to
care for Medicare and Medicaid patients. We also cannot be assured that there
will be any future legislation to increase Medicare payment rates for SNFs,
and
if such payment rates for SNFs are not increased in the future, some of our
lessees and mortgagors may have difficulty meeting their payment obligations
to
us.
Medicaid
and Other Third-Party Reimbursement
Each
state has its own Medicaid program that is funded jointly by the state and
federal government. Federal law governs how each state manages its Medicaid
program, but there is wide latitude for states to customize Medicaid programs
to
fit the needs and resources of their citizens. Currently, Medicaid is the single
largest source of financing for long-term care in the United States. Rising
Medicaid costs and decreasing state revenues caused by recent economic
conditions have prompted an increasing number of states to cut or consider
reductions in Medicaid funding as a means of balancing their respective state
budgets. Existing and future initiatives affecting Medicaid reimbursement may
reduce utilization of (and reimbursement for) services offered by the operators
of our properties.
In
recent
years, many states have announced actual or potential budget shortfalls. As
a
result of these budget shortfalls, many states have announced that they are
implementing or considering implementing “freezes” or cuts in Medicaid
reimbursement rates, including rates paid to SNF and long-term care providers,
or reductions in Medicaid enrollee benefits, including long-term care benefits.
We cannot predict the extent to which Medicaid rate freezes, cuts or benefit
reductions ultimately will be adopted, the number of states that will adopt
them
or the impact of such adoption on our operators. However, extensive Medicaid
rate cuts, freezes or benefit reductions could have a material adverse effect
on
our operators’ liquidity, financial condition and operations, which could
adversely affect their ability to make lease or mortgage payments to
us.
The
Deficit Reduction Act included $4.7 billion in estimated savings from Medicaid
and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program over five years. The Deficit
Reduction Act gave states the option to increase Medicaid cost-sharing and
reduce Medicaid benefits, accounting for an estimated $3.2 billion in federal
savings over five years. The remainder of the Medicaid savings under the Deficit
Reduction Act comes primarily from changes to prescription drug reimbursement
($3.9 billion in savings over five years) and tightened policies governing
asset
transfers ($2.4 billion in savings over five years).
Asset
transfer policies, which determine Medicaid eligibility based on whether a
Medicaid applicant has transferred assets for less than fair value, became
more
restrictive under the Deficit Reduction Act, which extended the look-back period
to five years, moved the start of the penalty period and made individuals with
more than $500,000 in home equity ineligible for nursing home benefits
(previously, the home was excluded as a countable asset for purposes of Medicaid
eligibility). These changes could have a material adverse effect on our
operators’ financial condition and operations, which could adversely affect
their ability to meet their payment obligations to us.
Additional
reductions in federal funding are expected for some state Medicaid programs
as a
result of changes in the percentage rates used for determining federal
assistance on a state-by-state basis. Legislation has been introduced in
Congress that would partially mitigate the reductions for some states that
would
experience significant reductions in federal funding, although whether Congress
will enact this or other legislation remains uncertain.
26
Finally,
private payors, including managed care payors, increasingly are demanding
discounted fee structures and the assumption by healthcare providers of all
or a
portion of the financial risk of operating a healthcare facility. Efforts to
impose greater discounts and more stringent cost controls are expected to
continue. Any changes in reimbursement policies that reduce reimbursement levels
could adversely affect the revenues of our lessees and mortgagors, thereby
adversely affecting those lessees’ and mortgagors’ abilities to make their
monthly lease or debt payments to us.
Fraud
and Abuse Laws and Regulations
There
are
various extremely complex and largely uninterpreted federal and state laws
governing a wide array of referrals, relationships and arrangements and
prohibiting fraud by healthcare providers, including criminal provisions that
prohibit filing false claims or making false statements to receive payment
or
certification under Medicare and Medicaid, and failing to refund overpayments
or
improper payments. The federal and state governments are devoting increasing
attention and resources to anti-fraud initiatives against healthcare providers.
Penalties for healthcare fraud have been increased and expanded over recent
years, including broader provisions for the exclusion of providers from the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Office of the Inspector General for the
U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, or OIG-HHS, has described a number
of
ongoing and new initiatives for 2007 to study instances of potential overbilling
and/or fraud in SNFs and nursing homes under both Medicare and Medicaid. The
OIG-HHS, in cooperation with other federal and state agencies, also continues
to
focus on the activities of SNFs in certain states in which we have properties.
In
addition, the federal False Claims Act allows a private individual with
knowledge of fraud to bring a claim on behalf of the federal government and
earn
a percentage of the federal government’s recovery. Because of these monetary
incentives, these so-called ‘‘whistleblower’’ suits have become more frequent.
Some states currently have statutes that are analogous to the federal False
Claims Act. The Deficit Reduction Act encourages additional states to enact
such
legislation and may encourage increased enforcement activity by permitting
states to retain 10% of any recovery for that state’s Medicaid program if the
enacted legislation is at least as rigorous as the federal False Claims Act.
The
violation of any of these laws or regulations by an operator may result in
the
imposition of fines or other penalties that could jeopardize that operator’s
ability to make lease or mortgage payments to us or to continue operating its
facility.
Legislative
and Regulatory Developments
Each
year, legislative and regulatory proposals are introduced or proposed in
Congress and state legislatures as well as by federal and state agencies that,
if implemented, could result in major changes in the healthcare system, either
nationally or at the state level. In addition, regulatory proposals and rules
are released on an ongoing basis that may have major impacts on the healthcare
system generally and the industries in which our operators do business.
Legislative and regulatory developments can be expected to occur on an ongoing
basis at the local, state and federal levels that have direct or indirect
impacts on the policies governing the reimbursement levels paid to our
facilities by public and private third-party payors, the costs of doing business
and the threshold requirements that must be met for facilities to continue
operation or to expand.
The
Medicare Modernization Act, which is one example of such legislation, was
enacted in December 2003. The significant expansion of other benefits for
Medicare beneficiaries under this Act, such as the prescription drug benefit,
could create financial pressures on the Medicare program that might result
in
future legislative and regulatory changes with impacts on our operators.
Although the creation of a prescription drug benefit for Medicare beneficiaries
was expected to generate fiscal relief for state Medicaid programs, the
structure of the benefit and costs associated with its implementation may
mitigate the relief for states that originally was anticipated.
The
Deficit Reduction Act is another example of such legislation. The provisions
in
the legislation designed to create cost savings from both Medicare and Medicaid
could diminish reimbursement for our operators under both Medicare and
Medicaid.
27
CMS
also
launched the Nursing Home Quality Initiative program in 2002, which requires
nursing homes participating in Medicare to provide consumers with comparative
information about the quality of care at the facility. In the fall of 2007,
CMS
plans to initiate a new quality campaign, Advancing Excellence for America’s
Nursing Home Residents, to be conducted over the next two years with the
ultimate goal being improvement in quality of life and efficiency of care
delivery. In the event any of our operators do not maintain the same or superior
levels of quality care as their competitors, patients could choose alternate
facilities, which could adversely impact our operators’ revenues. In addition,
the reporting of such information could lead in the future to reimbursement
policies that reward or penalize facilities on the basis of the reported quality
of care parameters.
In
late
2005, CMS began soliciting public comments regarding a demonstration to examine
pay-for-performance approaches in the nursing home setting that would offer
financial incentives for facilities to deliver high quality care. In June 2006,
Abt Associates published recommendations for CMS on how to design this
demonstration project. The proposed three-year demonstration could begin as
early as late 2006 or early 2007, with CMS inviting state agencies to
participate in the project. Other proposals under consideration include efforts
by individual states to control costs by decreasing state Medicaid
reimbursements in the current or future fiscal years and federal legislation
addressing various issues, such as improving quality of care and reducing
medical errors throughout the health care industry. We cannot accurately predict
whether specific proposals will be adopted or, if adopted, what effect, if
any,
these proposals would have on operators and, thus, our business.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and a summary
of
our significant accounting policies is included in “Note 2 - Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies” to our audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, included elsewhere in this
prospectus. Our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
our
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period.
We
have
identified five significant accounting policies that we believe are critical
accounting policies. These critical accounting policies are those that have
the
most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and those requiring
significant assumptions, judgments and estimates. With respect to these critical
accounting policies, we believe the application of judgments and assessments
is
consistently applied and produces financial information that fairly presents
the
results of operations for all periods presented. The five critical accounting
policies are:
Revenue
Recognition
With
the
exception of certain master leases, rental income and mortgage interest income
are recognized as earned over the terms of the related master leases and
mortgage notes, respectively. Substantially all of our leases contain provisions
for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and are
generally computed in one of three methods depending on specific provisions
of
each lease as follows: (i) a specific annual increase over the prior year’s
rent, generally 2.5%; (ii) an increase based on the change in pre-determined
formulas from year to year (i.e., such as increases in the Consumer Price Index,
or CPI); or (iii) specific dollar increases over prior years. Revenue under
lease arrangements with specific determinable increases is recognized over
the
term of the lease on a straight-line basis. SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
101 “Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements,”
or SAB
101,
does not provide for the recognition of contingent revenue until all possible
contingencies have been eliminated. We consider the operating history of the
lessee, the general condition of the industry and various other factors when
evaluating whether all possible contingencies have been eliminated. We have
historically not included, and generally expect in the future not to include,
contingent rents as income until received. We follow a policy related to rental
income whereby we typically consider a lease to be non-performing after 90
days
of non-payment of past due amounts and do not recognize unpaid rental income
from that lease until the amounts have been received.
In
the
case of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis, we
will
generally discontinue recording rent on a straight-line basis if the lessee
becomes delinquent in rent owed under the terms of the lease. Reserves
are taken against earned revenues from leases when collection becomes
questionable or when negotiations for restructurings of troubled operators
result in significant uncertainty regarding ultimate collection. The amount
of
the reserve is estimated based on what management believes will likely be
collected. Once
the
recording of straight-line rent is suspended, we will evaluate the
collectibility of the related straight-line rent asset. If it is determined
that
the delinquency is temporary, we will resume booking rent on a straight-line
basis once payment is received for past due rents,
after
taking into account application of security deposits. If
it
appears that we will not collect future rent due under our leases, we will
record a provision for loss related to the straight-line rent
asset.
28
Recognizing
rental income on a straight-line basis results in recognized revenue exceeding
contractual amounts due from our tenants. Such cumulative excess amounts are
included in accounts receivable and were $18.4 million and $13.8 million, net
of
allowances, at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. See
“Note
2 - Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to
our
unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September
30,
2006 included elsewhere in this prospectus. In
the
case of a lease recognized on a straight-line basis, we
will
generally provide an allowance for
straight-line accounts receivable when certain conditions or indicators of
collectibility are present (e.g., among other things, lessee payment
delinquencies, bankruptcy indicators, etc.). At September 30, 2006 and December
31, 2005, the allowance for straight-line accounts receivable was $6.5 million
and $6.7 million, respectively.
Gains
on
sales of real estate assets are recognized pursuant to the provisions of SFAS
No. 66, Accounting
for Sales of Real Estate.
The
specific timing of the recognition of the sale and the related gain is measured
against the various criteria in SFAS No. 66 related to the terms of the
transactions and any continuing involvement associated with the assets sold.
To
the extent the sales criteria are not met, we defer gain recognition until
the
sales criteria are met.
Depreciation
and Asset Impairment
Under
GAAP, real estate assets are stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair
value, if deemed impaired. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful lives of 20 to 40 years for buildings and improvements
and three to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Management
periodically, but not less than annually, evaluates
our real estate investments for impairment indicators, including the evaluation
of our assets’ useful lives. The judgment regarding the existence of impairment
indicators is based on factors such as, but not limited to, market conditions,
operator performance and legal structure. If indicators of impairment are
present, management evaluates the carrying value of the related real estate
investments in relation to the future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying
facilities. Provisions for impairment losses related to long-lived assets are
recognized when expected future undiscounted cash flows are determined to be
permanently less than the carrying values of the assets. An adjustment is made
to the net carrying value of the leased properties and other long-lived assets
for the excess of historical cost over fair value.
The
fair
value of the real estate investment is determined by market research, which
includes valuing the property as a nursing home as well as other alternative
uses. All impairments are taken as a period cost at that time, and depreciation
is adjusted going forward to reflect the new value assigned to the
asset.
If
we
decide to sell rental properties or land holdings, we evaluate the
recoverability of the carrying amounts of the assets. If the evaluation
indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from estimated net sales
proceeds, the property is written down to estimated fair value less costs to
sell. Our estimates of cash flows and fair values of the properties are based
on
current market conditions and consider matters such as rental rates and
occupancies for comparable properties, recent sales data for comparable
properties, and, where applicable, contracts or the results of negotiations
with
purchasers or prospective purchasers.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized an impairment loss
associated with one facility of approximately $0.1 million.
Loan
Impairment
Management,
periodically but not less than annually, evaluates our outstanding loans and
notes receivable. When management identifies potential loan impairment
indicators, such as non-payment under the loan documents, impairment of the
underlying collateral, financial difficulty of the operator or other
circumstances that may impair full execution of the loan documents, and
management believes these indicators are permanent, then the loan is written
down to the present value of the expected future cash flows. In cases where
expected future cash flows cannot be estimated, the loan is written down to
the
fair value of the collateral. The fair value of the loan is determined by market
research, which includes valuing the property as a nursing home as well as
other
alternative uses.
29
In
accordance with FASB Statement No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan and FASB Statement No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of
a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures, we
currently account for impaired loans using the cost-recovery method applying
cash received against the outstanding principal balance prior to recording
interest income. See “Note 8 - Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”
to
our
audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005
included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Assets
Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Pursuant
to the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
the
operating results of specified real estate assets that have been sold, or
otherwise qualify as held for disposition (as defined by SFAS No. 144), are
reflected as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of
operations for all periods presented.
Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities
Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities,
or FIN
46R, addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest
entities, or VIEs. FIN 46R provides criteria that, if met, would create a VIE,
which would then be subject to consolidation. If an entity is determined to
be a
VIE, the party deemed to be the primary beneficiary is required to consolidate
the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has the most variability
in
expected gains or losses of the VIE.
In
order
to determine which party is the primary beneficiary, we must calculate the
expected losses and expected residual returns of the VIE. The analysis requires
a projection of expected cash flows and the assignment of probabilities to
each
possible cash flow outcome. Estimating expected cash flows and assigning
probabilities of each outcome of the VIE requires us to use significant
judgment. If assumptions used to estimate the expected cash flows prove to
be
inaccurate, our conclusions regarding which party is the VIE’s primary
beneficiary could be incorrect, resulting in us improperly consolidating the
VIE
when we are not the primary beneficiary or not consolidating the VIE when we
are
the primary beneficiary.
Results
of Operations
The
following is our discussion of the consolidated results of operations, financial
position and liquidity and capital resources, which should be read in
conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes
included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Our
Board
of Directors, including our Audit Committee, concluded on October 24, 2006,
to
restate our audited financial results as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and
for
the three years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 and for other periods
affected, including our unaudited financial statements for each quarterly period
in 2004, 2005 and 2006 as necessary, which is referred to herein as the
Restatement. As a result, we have previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or SEC, amendments to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively,
reflecting the restated matters. As more fully described in “Note 15 -
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to our audited
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, we
have
restated our previously issued consolidated financial statements to correct
errors in previously reported amounts related to income tax matters and certain
debt and equity investments in Advocat Inc., or Advocat, as well as of the
recording of certain straight-line rental income. All financial information
contained herein has been revised to reflect the restatements.
30
The
Restatement reflects the following adjustments that affect the three- and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005:
1.
|
We
recorded asset values for securities received from Advocat (and the
increases therein) since the completion of the restructuring of Advocat
obligations pursuant to leases and mortgages for the facilities then
operated by Advocat in 2000. These adjustments increased net income
by
$0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, respectively. These adjustments also increased
total
assets by $5.4 million as of December 31, 2005. Changes in the fair
value
of the securities not currently recognized in net income were reflected
in
other comprehensive income.
|
2.
|
As
a result of our holdings of Advocat securities, we recorded reserves
related to a potential tax liability arising from our ownership of
such
securities. This tax liability along with related interest expense
had not
been previously accrued for and this adjustment decreased net income
by
$0.6 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, respectively. The amount accrued represents the
estimated liability, which remains subject to final resolution and
therefore is subject to change.
|
3.
|
Subsequent
to October 25, 2006, we made a correction to our accounting for certain
leases because these leases contain provisions (such as increases
in rent
based on the lesser of a fixed amount or two times the CPI) that
require
us to record rental income on a straight-line basis subject to an
appropriate evaluation of collectibility. We had not previously recorded
rental income on these leases on a straight-line basis. As a result
of
this adjustment, our net income increased by $0.8 million and $2.1
million
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.
In
addition, net accounts receivable and retained earnings increased
by $9.1
million as of December 31, 2005, to reflect the effects of this adjustment
from inception of the affected
leases.
|
The
Restatement reflects the following adjustments that affect the three-year period
ended December 31, 2005:
1.
|
We
recorded asset values for securities received from Advocat (and the
increases therein) since the completion of the restructuring of Advocat
obligations pursuant to leases and mortgages for the facilities then
operated by Advocat in 2000. These adjustments will increase total
assets
by $5.4 million and $5.1 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. These adjustments will also increase net income by
$1.6
million, $1.9 million and $0.0 million for the years ended December
31,
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Changes in the fair value of the
securities not currently recognized in net income will be reflected
in
other comprehensive income.
|
2.
|
We
determined that certain terms of the Advocat Series B non-voting,
redeemable convertible preferred stock could be interpreted as affecting
our compliance with federal income tax rules applicable to REITs
regarding
related party tenant income. As such, Advocat may be deemed to be
a
“related party tenant” under applicable federal income tax rules. In such
event, rental income from Advocat would not be qualifying income
under the
gross income tests that are applicable to REITs. In order to maintain
qualification as a REIT, we annually must satisfy certain tests regarding
the source of our gross income. The applicable federal income tax
rules
provide a “savings clause” for REITs that fail to satisfy the REIT gross
income tests if such failure is due to reasonable cause. A REIT that
qualifies for the savings clause will retain its REIT status but
will pay
a tax under section 857(b)(5) and related interest. On December 15,
2006,
we submitted to the IRS a request for a closing agreement to resolve
the
“related party tenant” issue. While we believe there are valid arguments
that Advocat should not be deemed a “related party tenant,” the matter is
not free from doubt, and we believe it is in our best interest to
request
a closing agreement in order to resolve the matter, minimize potential
interest charges and obtain assurances regarding our continuing REIT
status. By submitting a request for a closing agreement, we believe
we
should be able to establish that any failure to satisfy the gross
income
tests was due to reasonable cause. As
a result of our holding of Advocat securities, we recorded reserves
related to a potential tax liability arising from our ownership of
such
securities. This tax liability along with related interest expense
had not
been previously accrued for and this adjustment will decrease net
income
by $2.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The amount accrued
represents the estimated liability, which remains subject to final
resolution and therefore is subject to
change.
|
31
3.
|
We
have made a correction to our accounting for certain leases because
these
leases contain provisions (such as increases in rent based on the
lesser
of a fixed amount or two times the Consumer Price Index) that require
us
to record rental income on a straight-line basis subject to an appropriate
evaluation of collectibility. Historically, we have recorded rental
income
for leases with these provisions based on contractual scheduled rent
payments, rather than on a straight-line basis in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, or SFAS, No. 13, Accounting
for Leases,
and Financial Accounting Standards Board Technical Bulletin No. 88-1
Issues
Related to Accounting for Leases.
As a result of this adjustment, our net income will increase by $2.8
million, $1.9 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December
31,
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, net accounts receivable
and retained earnings will increase by $9.1 million and $6.3 million
as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, to reflect the effects
of this
adjustment from inception of the affected
leases.

Three
Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Operating
Revenues
Our
operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 totaled $35.2
million, an increase of $8.1 million, over the same period in 2005. The $8.1
million increase was primarily a result of new investments made throughout
2005
and 2006. The increase in operating revenues from new investments was partially
offset by a reduction in mortgage interest income.
Detailed
changes in operating revenues for
the
three months ended September 30, 2006
are as
follows:
·
|
Rental
income was $33.2 million, an increase of $8.3 million over the same
period
in 2005. The increase was primarily due to new leases entered into
throughout 2005 and during the third quarter of 2006, as well as
from the
consolidation of a VIE.
|
·
|
Mortgage
interest income totaled $1.1 million, a decrease of $0.2 million
over the
same period in 2005. The decrease was primarily the result of normal
amortization and a $10 million loan payoff that occurred in the second
quarter of 2006.
|
·
|
Other
investment income totaled $1.0 million, an increase of $0.1 million
over
the same period in 2005. The primary reason for the increase was
due to
dividends and accretion income associated with the Advocat
securities.
|
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 totaled $14.2 million,
an
increase of approximately $2.7 million over the same period in 2005. The
increase was primarily due to $2.2 million of increased depreciation expense
and
$3.6 million of restricted stock expense, partially offset by a 2005 provision
for impairment on real estate properties.
32
Detailed
changes in our operating expenses for
the
three months ended September 30, 2006
versus
the same period in 2005 are as follows:
·
|
Our
depreciation and amortization expense was $8.4 million, compared
to $6.2
million for the same period in 2005. The increase is due to new
investments placed throughout 2005 and during the third quarter of
2006,
as well as the consolidation of a VIE in
2006.
|
·
|
Our
general and administrative expense, when excluding restricted stock
amortization expense and compensation expense related to the performance
restricted stock units, was $2.0 million, compared to $2.0 million
for the
same period in 2005.
|
·
|
For
the three months ended September 30, 2006, in accordance with FAS
No.
123R, we recorded approximately $3.3 million (included in general
and
administrative expense) of compensation expense associated with the
performance restricted stock units (see “Note 7- Stock Based Compensation”
to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods
ended
September 30, 2006 included elsewhere in this
prospectus).
|
·
|
In
2005, we recorded a $3.1 million provision for impairment charge
to reduce
the carrying value of two facilities to their estimated fair
value.
|
Other
Income (Expense)
For
the
three months ended September 30, 2006, our total other net expenses were $7.0
million as compared to $8.2 million for the same period in 2005. The significant
changes are as follows:
·
|
Our
interest expense, excluding amortization of deferred costs and refinancing
related interest expenses, for the three months ended September 30,
2006
was $11.2 million, compared to $7.7 million for the same period 2005.
The
increase of $3.5 million was primarily due to higher debt on our
balance
sheet versus the same period in 2005 and from consolidation of a
VIE in
2006.
|
·
|
For
the three months ended September 30, 2006, we sold our remaining
760,000
shares of common stock of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc., or Sun, for
approximately $7.6 million, realizing a gain on the sale of these
securities of approximately $2.7 million.
|
·
|
For
the three months ended September 30, 2006, in accordance with FASB
No.
133, we recorded a $1.8 million mark-to-market adjustment to reflect
the
fair value of our derivative instrument (i.e., the conversion feature
of a
redeemable convertible preferred stock security in Advocat, a publicly
traded company; see “Note 2 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial
Statements” and “Note 8 - Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” to
our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods ended
September 30, 2006 included elsewhere in this
prospectus).
|
Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Operating
Revenues
Our
operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 totaled $99.8
million, an increase of $18.2 million, over the same period in 2005. The $18.2
million increase was primarily a result of new investments made throughout
2005
and 2006. The increase in operating revenues from new investments was partially
offset by a reduction in mortgage interest income and one-time contractual
interest revenue associated with the payoff of a mortgage during the first
quarter of 2005.
Detailed
changes in operating revenues for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006
are as
follows:
·
|
Rental
income was $93.1 million, an increase of $22.7 million over the same
period in 2005. The increase was due to new leases entered into throughout
2005 and during the third quarter of 2006, as well as from the
consolidation of a VIE.
|
33
·
|
Mortgage
interest income totaled $3.4 million, a decrease of $1.0 million
over the
same period in 2005. The decrease was primarily the result of normal
amortization, a $60 million loan payoff that occurred in the first
quarter
of 2005 and a $10 million loan payoff that occurred in the second
quarter
of 2006.
|
·
|
Other
investment income totaled $2.9 million, an increase of $0.5 million
over
the same period in 2005. The primary reason for the increase was
due to
dividends and accretion income associated with the Advocat
securities.
|
·
|
Miscellaneous
revenue was $0.5 million, a decrease of $4.0 million over the same
period
in 2005. The decrease was due to contractual revenue owed to us and

Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 totaled $33.9 million,
an
increase of approximately $5.7 million over the same period in 2005. The
increase was primarily due to $5.5 million of increased depreciation expense
and
$4.2 million of restricted stock expense, partially offset by a 2005 provision
for impairment on real estate properties and by a 2005 leasehold termination
expense.
Detailed
changes in our operating expenses for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006
versus
the same period in 2005 are as follows:
·
|
Our
depreciation and amortization expense was $23.4 million, compared
to $17.9
million for the same period in 2005. The increase is due to new
investments placed throughout 2005 and during the third quarter of
2006,
as well as from the consolidation of a
VIE.
|
·
|
Our
general and administrative expense, when excluding restricted stock
amortization expense and compensation expense related to the performance
restricted stock units, was $6.1 million, compared to $5.6 million
for the
same period in 2005. The increase was primarily due to normal inflationary
increases in goods and services.
|
·
|
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, in accordance with FAS
No. 123R,
we recorded approximately $3.3 million (included in general and
administrative expense) of compensation expense associated with the
performance restricted stock units (see “Note 7 - Stock Based
Compensation” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the
periods ended September 30, 2006 included elsewhere in this
prospectus).
|
·
|
In
2006, we recorded a $0.2 million provision for uncollectible notes
receivable.
|
·
|
In
2005, we recorded a $3.1 million provision for impairment charge
to reduce
the carrying value of two facilities to their estimated fair
value.
|
·
|
In
2005, we recorded a $0.8 million lease expiration accrual relating
to
disputed capital improvement requirements associated with a lease
that
expired June 30, 2005.
|
Other
Income (Expense)
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, our total other net expenses were $22.5
million as compared to $26.7 million for the same period in 2005. The
significant changes are as follows:
·
|
Our
interest expense, excluding amortization of deferred costs and refinancing
related interest expenses, for the nine months ended September 30,
2006
was $30.2 million, compared to $21.4 million for the same period
2005. The
increase of $8.8 million was primarily due to higher debt on our
balance
sheet versus the same period in 2005 and from consolidation of a
VIE in
2006.
|
34
·
|
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we sold our remaining 760,000
shares of Sun’s common stock for approximately $7.6 million, realizing a
gain on the sale of these securities of approximately $2.7
million.
|
·
|
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, in accordance with FAS
No. 133,
we recorded a $9.7 million mark-to-market adjustment to reflect the
fair
value of our derivative instrument (i.e., the conversion feature
of a
redeemable convertible preferred stock security in Advocat, a publicly
traded company; see “Note 2 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial
Statements” and “Note 8 - Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” to
our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods ended
September 30, 2006 included elsewhere in this
prospectus).
|
·
|
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded a $0.8 million
non-cash charge associated with the redemption of the remaining 20.7%
of
our $100 million aggregate principal amount of 6.95% unsecured notes
due
2007 not otherwise tendered in 2005.
|
·
|
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded a one time,
non-cash
charge of approximately $2.7 million relating to the write-off of
deferred
financing costs associated with the termination of our prior credit
facility.
|
·
|
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a $3.4 million
provision for impairment of an equity security. In accordance with
FASB
No. 115, the $3.4 million provision for impairment was to write-down
our
760,000 share investment in Sun’s common stock to its then current fair
market value.
|
Taxes
So
long
as we qualify as a REIT and, among other things, we distribute 90% of our
taxable income, we will not be subject to Federal income taxes on our income,
except as described below. We are permitted to own up to 100% of a “taxable REIT
subsidiary,” or TRS. Currently, we have two TRSs that are taxable as
corporations and that pay federal, state and local income tax on their net
income at the applicable corporate rates. See “Certain Federal Income Tax
Considerations - Taxation of Omega.”
During
the fourth quarter of 2006, we determined that certain terms of the Advocat
Series B non-voting, redeemable convertible preferred stock held by us could
be
interpreted as affecting our compliance with federal income tax rules applicable
to REITs regarding related party tenant income. As such, Advocat, one of our
lessees, may be deemed to be a “related party tenant” under applicable federal
income tax rules. In such event, our rental income from Advocat would not be
qualifying income under the gross income tests that are applicable to REITs.
In
order to maintain qualification as a REIT, we annually must satisfy certain
tests regarding the source of our gross income. The applicable federal income
tax rules provide a “savings clause” for REITs that fail to satisfy the REIT
gross income tests if such failure is due to reasonable cause. A REIT that
qualifies for the savings clause will retain its REIT status but will pay a
tax
under section 857(b)(5) and related interest. We have submitted to the IRS
a
request for a closing agreement to resolve the “related party tenant” issue.
While we believe there are valid arguments that Advocat should not be deemed
a
“related party tenant,” the matter is not free from doubt, and we believe it is
in our best interest to request a closing agreement in order to resolve the
matter, minimize potential interest charges and obtain assurances regarding
our
continuing REIT status. By submitting a request for a closing agreement, we
intend to establish that any failure to satisfy the gross income tests was
due
to reasonable cause (see “Note 2 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial
Statements” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period
ended September 30, 2006 included elsewhere in this prospectus). In the event
that it is determined that the “savings clause” described above does not apply,
we could be treated as having failed to qualify as a REIT for one or more
taxable years. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT for any taxable
year, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we could be
disqualified as a REIT for the following four taxable years.
35
As
a
result of the potential related party tenant issue described above and further
discussed in “Note 2 - Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to our consolidated financial
statements for the periods ended September 30, 2006 included elsewhere in this
prospectus, we have recorded a $0.6
million and $1.7 million provision for income taxes,
including related interest expense,
for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and $0.6 million
and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
respectively.
The
amount accrued represents the estimated liability and interest, which remains
subject to final resolution and therefore is subject to change. In addition,
in
October 2006, we restructured our Advocat relationship and have been advised
by
tax counsel that we will not receive any non-qualifying related party tenant
income from Advocat in future fiscal years. Accordingly, we do not expect to
incur tax expense associated with related party tenant income in future periods
commencing January 1, 2007, assuming we enter into a closing agreement with
the
IRS that recognizes that reasonable cause existed for any failure to satisfy
the
REIT gross income tests as explained above. We will continue to accrue an income
tax liability related to this matter during 2006.
Loss
from Discontinued Operations
Discontinued
operations relate to properties we disposed of in 2006 or are currently
held-for-sale and are accounted for as discontinued operations under SFAS No.
144. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we sold two SNFs in
California and one in Illinois resulting in an accounting loss of approximately
$0.4 million.
At
September 30, 2006, we had two assets held for sale with a net book value of
approximately $0.7 million.
During
the three
months
ended March 31, 2006, a
$0.1
million provision for impairment charge was recorded to reduce the carrying
value to its sales price of one facility that was under contract to be sold
that
was subsequently sold during the second quarter of 2006.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, the $0.4 million realized net loss is reflected
in
our consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations. See “Note
11 - Discontinued Operations” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements
for the period ended September 30, 2006 included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Funds
From Operations
Our
funds
from operations available to common stockholders, or FFO, for the three months
ended September 30, 2006, was $19.3 million, compared to $8.8 million, for
the
same period in 2005.
We
calculate and report FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive
guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts,
or NAREIT, and, consequently, FFO is defined as net income available to common
stockholders, adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain
non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization. We believe that FFO
is
an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. Because the
historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires
depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the
value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while real estate
values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. The
term FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue. FFO
herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO of other real estate investment
trusts, or REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation
guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us.
We
use
FFO as one of several criteria to measure operating performance of our business.
We further believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization
and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on
historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current
performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between
periods and between other REITs. We offer this measure to assist the users
of
our financial statements in evaluating our financial performance under GAAP,
and
FFO should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net
income or an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance
with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in our securities should not rely
on this measure as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net
income.
In
February 2004, NAREIT informed its member companies that it was adopting the
position of the SEC with respect to asset impairment charges and would no longer
recommend that impairment write-downs be excluded from FFO. In the tables
included in this disclosure, we have applied this interpretation and have not
excluded asset impairment charges in calculating our FFO. As a result, our
FFO
may not be comparable to similar measures reported in previous disclosures.
According to NAREIT, there is inconsistency among NAREIT member companies as
to
the adoption of this interpretation of FFO. Therefore, a comparison of our FFO
results to another company’s FFO results may not be meaningful.

impairment charges (the SEC’s interpretation) for the three and nine months

Year
Ended December 31, 2005 compared to Year Ended December 31,
2004
Operating
Revenues
Our
operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 totaled $110.0 million,
an increase of $22.7 million, over the same period in 2004. The $22.7 million
increase was primarily a result of new investments made throughout 2004 and
2005, contractual interest revenue associated with the payoff of a mortgage
note, re-leasing and restructuring activities completed throughout 2004 and
2005, as well as scheduled contractual increases in rents. The increase in
operating revenues from new investments was partially offset by a reduction
in
mortgage interest income.
Detailed
changes in operating revenues for
the
year ended December 31, 2005
are as
follows:
·
|
Rental
income was $94.9 million, an increase of $24.8 million over the same
period in 2004. The increase was primarily due to new leases entered
into
throughout 2004 and 2005, re-leasing and restructuring
activities.
|
·
|
Mortgage
interest income totaled $6.5 million, a decrease of $6.7 million
over the
same period in 2004. The decrease is primarily the result of normal
amortization and a $60 million loan payoff that occurred in the first
quarter of 2005.
|
|
·
|
Other
investment income totaled $4.1 million, an increase of $0.9 million
over
the same period in 2004. The primary reason for the increase was
due to
dividends and accretion income associated with the Advocat
securities.
|
·
|
Miscellaneous
revenue was $4.5 million, an increase of $3.6 million over the same
period
in 2004. The increase was due to contractual revenue owed to us as
a
result of a mortgage note
prepayment.
|
37
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 totaled $36.9 million, an increase
of approximately $8.9 million over the same period in 2004. The increase
was
primarily due to $3.1 million non-cash provision for impairment charges recorded
throughout 2005, a $1.1 million lease expiration accrual recorded in 2005
and
$5.0 million of increased depreciation expense.
Detailed
changes in our operating expenses for
the
year ended December 31, 2005
are as
follows:
·
|
Our
depreciation and amortization expense was $24.1 million, compared
to $19.1
million for the same period in 2004. The increase is due to new
investments placed throughout 2004 and
2005.
|
|
·
|
Our
general and administrative expense, when excluding restricted stock
amortization expense, was $7.4 million, compared to $7.7 million
for the
same period in 2004.
|
·
|
A
$3.1 million provision for impairment charge was recorded to reduce
the
carrying value on one facility to its estimated fair value during
the
twelve months ended December 31, 2005.
|
·
|
A
$0.1 million provision for uncollectible notes
receivable.
|
·
|
A
$1.1 million lease expiration accrual relating to disputed capital
improvement requirements associated with a lease that expired June
30,
2005.
|
Other
Income (Expense)
For
the
year ended December 31, 2005, our total other net expenses were $36.3 million
as
compared to $45.5 million for the same period in 2004. The significant changes
are as follows:
·
|
Our
interest expense, excluding amortization of deferred costs and
refinancing
related interest expenses, for the year ended December 31, 2005
was $29.9
million, compared to $23.1 million for the same period 2004. The
increase
of $6.8 million was primarily due to higher debt on our balance
sheet
versus the same period in 2004.
|
·
|
For
the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded a $2.8 million non-cash
charge associated with the tender and purchase of 79.3% of our
$100
million aggregate principal amount of 6.95% unsecured notes due
2007.
|
·
|
For
the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded a $3.4 million provision
for
impairment on an equity security. In accordance with FASB Statement
No.
115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,
we recorded the provision for impairment to write-down our 760,000
share
investment in Sun common stock to its then current fair market
value of
$4.9 million.
|
·
|
For
the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded $19.1 million of
refinancing-related charges associated with refinancing our capital
structure. The $19.1 million consists of a $6.4 million exit fee
paid to
our old bank syndication and a $6.3 million non-cash deferred financing
cost write-off associated with the termination of our $225 million
credit
facility and our $50 million acquisition facility, and a loss of
approximately $6.5 million associated with the sale of an interest
rate
cap.
|
·
|
For
the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded a $1.6 million in
net cash
proceeds resulting from settlement of a lawsuit filed suit filed
by us
against a former tenant.
|
·
|
For
the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded a $1.1 million
mark-to-market adjustment to reflect the fair value of our derivative
instrument (i.e., the conversion feature of a redeemable convertible
preferred stock security in Advocat, a publicly traded company;
see “Note
15 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” and “Note 5 -
Other Investments” to our audited consolidated financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2005 included elsewhere in this
prospectus).
|
38
·
|
For
the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded a $3.0 million charge
associated with professional liability claims made against our
former
owned and operated facilities.
|
2005
Income from Discontinued Operations
Discontinued
operations relate to properties we disposed of in 2005 or are currently
held-for-sale and are accounted for as discontinued operations under SFAS
No.
144. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we sold eight SNFs, six ALFs and
50.4
acres of undeveloped land for combined cash proceeds of approximately $53
million, net of closing costs and other expenses, resulting in a combined
accounting gain of approximately $8.0 million.
We
had
five assets held for sale as of December 31, 2005 with a combined net book
value
of $2.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, a $3.7 million
provision for impairment charge was recorded to reduce the carrying value
on two
facilities, which were subsequently closed, to their estimated fair value.
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, a $2.3 million provision
for
impairment charge was recorded to reduce the carrying value on one facility
to
its estimated fair value. During the three months ended December 31, 2005,
a $0.5 million impairment charge was recorded to reduce the carrying value
of
one facility, currently under contract to be sold in the first quarter of
2006,
to its sales price.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, the $8.0 million realized net gain as well
as the
combined $6.5 million impairment charge is reflected in our consolidated
statements of operations as discontinued operations.

2005
Taxes
As
a
result of the possible related party tenant issue described above and
further
discussed in “Note 15 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements”
to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31,
2005 included elsewhere in this prospectus, we have recorded a $2.4 million
and
$0.4 million provision for income tax for the years ended December 31,
2005 and
2004, respectively. The amount accrued represents the estimated liability
and
interest, which remains subject to final resolution and therefore is
subject to
change. In addition, in October 2006, we restructured our Advocat relationship
and have been advised by tax counsel that we will not receive any non-qualifying
related party tenant income from Advocat in future fiscal years. Accordingly,
we
do not expect to incur tax expense associated with related party tenant
income
in future periods commencing January 1, 2007, assuming we enter into
a closing
agreement with the IRS that recognizes that reasonable cause existed
for any
failure to satisfy the REIT gross income tests as explained above. We
will
continue to accrue an income tax liability related to this matter during
2006.
In
addition, for
tax year
2005, preferred and common dividend payments of approximately $56 million
made
throughout 2005 satisfy the 2005 REIT requirements relating to qualifying
income
(which states we must distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income
for the
taxable year and meet certain other conditions). We are permitted to own
up to
100% of a TRS. Currently we have two TRSs that are taxable as corporations
and
that pay federal, state and local income tax on their net income at the
applicable corporate rates. These TRSs had net operating loss carry-forwards
as
of December 31, 2005 of $14.4 million. These loss carry-forwards were fully
reserved with a valuation allowance due to uncertainties regarding
realization.
Year
Ended December 31, 2004 compared to Year Ended December 31,
2003
Operating
Revenues
Our
operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $87.3 million,
an increase of $6.0 million from the same period in 2003. When excluding
nursing
home revenues of owned and operated assets, revenues increased $10.4 million.
The $10.4 million increase was primarily a result of new investments made
in the
second and fourth quarters of 2004, re-leasing and restructuring activities
completed throughout 2003 and during the first quarter of 2004, as well as
scheduled contractual increases in rents.
Detailed
changes in operating revenues for
the
year ended December 31, 2004
are as
follows:
·
|
Rental
income was $70.1 million, an increase of $11.8 million over the
same
period in 2003. The increase was primarily due to new leases entered
into
in April, November and December of 2004, re-leasing and restructuring
activities.
|
·
|
Mortgage
interest income totaled $13.3 million, a decrease of $1.4 million
over the
same period in 2003. The decrease is primarily the result of mortgage
payoffs during 2004, the restructuring of two mortgages during
2003 and
normal amortization and was partially offset by a new mortgage
placed in
November 2004.
|
·
|
Other
investment income totaled $3.1 million, an increase of $0.2 million
over
the same period in 2003. The primary reason for the increase was
due to
recording of dividends and accretion income associated with the
Advocat
securities in 2004, partially offset by the impact of the sale
of our
investment in a Baltimore, Maryland asset leased by the United
States
Postal Service, or USPS, in 2003.
|
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $27.9 million, a decrease
of approximately $4.9 million over the same period in 2003. When excluding
nursing home expenses of owned and operated assets in 2003, operating expenses
increased $0.6 million, primarily due to restricted stock amortization expense
resulting from issuance of restricted stock grants in 2004. This increase
was
partially offset by reductions in general and administrative and legal
costs.
40
Detailed
changes in our operating expenses for
the
year ended December 31, 2004
are as
follows:
·
|
Our
general and administrative expense, excluding legal expenses
and
restricted stock expense, was $6.2 million, compared to $6.6
million for
the same period in 2003.
|
·
|
Our
legal expenses were $1.5 million, compared to $2.3 million
for the same
period in 2003. The decrease is largely attributable to a reduction
of
legal costs associated with our owned and operated facilities
due to the
releasing efforts, sales and/or closures of 33 owned and operated
assets
since December 31, 2001.
|
·
|
Our
restricted stock expense was $1.1 million, compared to $0 for the
same
period in 2003. The increase is due to the expense associated with
restricted stock awards granted during
2004.
|
·
|
As
of December 31, 2004, we no longer owned any facilities that were
previously recovered from customers. As a result, our nursing home
expenses for owned and operated assets decreased to $0 from $5.5
million
in 2003.
|
We
believe that the presentation of our revenues and expenses, excluding nursing
home owned and operated assets, provides a useful measure of the operating
performance of our core portfolio as a REIT in view of the disposition of
all of
our owned and operated assets as of January 1, 2004.
Other
Income (Expense)
For
the
year ended December 31, 2004, our total other net expenses were $45.5 million
as
compared to $21.0 million for the same period in 2003. The significant changes
are as follows:
·
|
Our
interest expense, excluding amortization of deferred costs, for
the year
ended December 31, 2004 was $23.1 million, compared to $18.5 million
for
the same period in 2003. The increase of $4.6 million was primarily
due to
higher debt on our balance sheet versus the same period in
2003.
|
·
|
For
the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded $19.1 million of
refinancing-related charges associated with refinancing our capital
structure. The $19.1 million consists of a $6.4 million exit fee
paid to
our old bank syndication and a $6.3 million non-cash deferred financing
cost write-off associated with the termination of our $225 million
credit
facility and our $50 million acquisition facility, and a loss of
approximately $6.5 million associated with the sale of an interest
rate
cap.
|
·
|
For
the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded a $2.6 million one-time,
non-cash charge associated with the termination of two credit facilities
syndicated by Fleet and Provident Bank during
2003.
|
·
|
For
the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded a $3.0 million charge
associated with professional liability claims made against our
former
owned and operated facilities.
|
·
|
For
the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded a $1.1 million
mark-to-market adjustment to reflect the fair value of our non-hedge
derivative instrument (i.e., the conversion feature of a convertible
preferred stock security in Advocat, a publicly traded company;
see “Note
15 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” and “Note 5 -
Other Investments” to our audited consolidated financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2005 included elsewhere in this
prospectus).
|
·
|
For
the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded a legal settlement
receipt
of $2.2 million. In 2000, we filed suit against a title company
(later
adding a law firm as a defendant), seeking damages based on claims
of
breach of contract and negligence, among other things, as a result
of the
alleged failure to file certain Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements on our behalf.

2004
Taxes
As
a
result of the possible related party tenant issue described above and
further
discussed in “Note 15 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements,”
to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31,
2005, included elsewhere in this prospectus, we have recorded a $0.4
million and
$0.5 million provision for income tax for the years ended December 31,
2004 and
2003, respectively. The amount accrued represents the estimated liability
and
interest, which remains subject to final resolution and therefore is
subject to
change. In addition, in October 2006, we restructured our Advocat relationship
and have been advised by tax counsel that we will not receive any non-qualifying
related party tenant income from Advocat in future fiscal years. Accordingly,
we
do not expect to incur tax expense associated with related party tenant
income
in future periods commencing January 1, 2007, assuming we enter into
a closing
agreement with the IRS that recognizes that reasonable cause existed
for any
failure to satisfy the REIT gross income tests as explained above. We
will
continue to accrue an income tax liability related to this matter during
2006.
In
addition, for
tax year
2004, preferred and common dividend payments of approximately $49 million
made
throughout 2004 satisfy the 2004 REIT requirements relating to qualifying
income
(which states we must distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income
for the
taxable year and meet certain other conditions). We are permitted to own
up to
100% of a TRS. At December 31, 2004, we had two TRSs that are taxable as
corporations and that pay federal, state and local income tax on their net
income at the applicable corporate rates. These TRSs had net operating loss
carry-forwards as of December 31, 2004 of $15.5 million. These loss
carry-forwards were fully reserved with a valuation allowance due to
uncertainties regarding realization.
2004
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations
Discontinued
operations relate to properties we disposed of in 2004 and are accounted
for as
discontinued operations under SFAS No. 144. For the year ended December 31,
2004, we sold six closed facilities, realizing proceeds of approximately
$5.7
million, net of closing costs and other expenses, resulting in a net gain
of
approximately $3.3 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the $3.3 million
realized net gain is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations
as
discontinued operations.
Funds
From Operations
Our
FFO
available to all equity holders, for the year ended December 31, 2004, was
a
deficit of $18.5 million, a decrease of $43.6 million as compared to $25.1
million for the same period in 2003. Our FFO for the year ended December
31,
2004, was a deficit of $18.5 million, a decrease of $54.0 million as compared
to
$35.6 million for the same period in 2003.

Portfolio
Developments, New Investments and Recent Developments
Below
is
a brief description, by third-party operator, of our re-leasing, restructuring
or new investment transactions that occurred since December 31,
2005.
Litchfield
Transaction
On
August
1, 2006, we completed a transaction with Litchfield Investment Company, LLC
and
its affiliates, or Litchfield, to purchase 30 skilled nursing facilities
and one
independent living center for a total investment of approximately $171 million.
The facilities total 3,847 beds and are located in the states of Colorado
(5),
Florida (7), Idaho (1), Louisiana (13), and Texas (5). The facilities were
subject to master leases with three national healthcare providers, which
are
existing tenants of the Company. The tenants are Home Quality Management,
Inc.,
or HQM, Nexion Health, Inc., or Nexion, and Peak Medical Corporation, which
was
acquired by Sun in December of 2005. We used a combination of cash on hand
and
$150 million of borrowings under our New Credit Facility to finance the
Litchfield transaction.
Simultaneously
with the close of the purchase transaction, the seven HQM facilities were
combined into an Amended and Restated Master Lease containing 13 facilities
between us and HQM. In addition, the 18 Nexion facilities were combined into
an
Amended and Restated Master Lease containing 22 facilities between us and
Nexion.
We
entered into a Master Lease, Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Litchfield
on the six Sun facilities. These six facilities are currently under a master
lease that expires on September 30, 2007.
Guardian
LTC Management, Inc.
On
September 1, 2006, we completed a $25.0 million investment with subsidiaries
of
Guardian LTC Management, Inc., or Guardian, an existing operator of ours.
The
transaction involved the purchase and leaseback of a SNF in Pennsylvania
and
termination of a purchase option on a combination SNF and rehabilitation
hospital in West Virginia owned by us. The facilities were included in an
existing master lease with Guardian with an increase in contractual annual
rent
of approximately $2.6 million in the first year and the master lease now
includes 17 facilities. In addition, the master lease term was extended from
October 2014 through August 2016.
In
accordance with FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting
Lease, FAS
No.
13 and FASB Technical Bulletin No. 88-1, Issues
Relating to Accounting for Leases,
or FASB
TB No. 88-1, $19.2 million of the $25.0 million transaction amount will be
accounted for as a lease inducement and is classified within accounts receivable
- net on our consolidated balance sheets. The lease inducement will be amortized
as a reduction to rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of
the
new master lease. The remaining payment to Guardian of $5.8 million will
be
allocated to the purchase of the Pennsylvania SNF.
Advocat,
Inc.
On
October 20, 2006, as part of the Second Advocat Restructuring, we amended
our
master lease with Advocat to commence a new 12-year lease term through September
30, 2018 (with a renewal option for an additional 12 year term) and Advocat
agreed to increase the master lease annual rent by approximately $687,000
to
approximately $14 million commencing on January 1, 2007. See “Note 2 -
Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to
our
unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September
30,
2006 included elsewhere in this prospectus.
43
The
Second Advocat Restructuring will be accounted for as a new lease in accordance
with FAS No. 13 and FASB TB No. 88-1. The fair value of the assets exchanged
in
the restructuring (i.e., the Series B non-voting redeemable convertible
preferred stock and the secured convertible subordinated note, with a fair
value
of $14.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, at October 20, 2006) in
excess
of the fair value of the assets received (the Series C non-voting redeemable
non-convertible preferred stock and the secured non-convertible subordinated
note, with a fair value of $4.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, at
October 20, 2006) will be recorded as a lease inducement of approximately
$10.8
million in the fourth quarter of 2006. The $10.8 million lease inducement
asset
will be amortized as a reduction to rental income on a straight-line basis
over
the term of the new master lease. The exchange of securities will also result
in
a gain in the fourth quarter of 2006 of approximately $3.0 million representing:
(i) the fair value of the secured convertible subordinated note of $2.5 million,
previously reserved; (ii) the realization of the gain on investments previously
classified in other comprehensive income of approximately $1.1 million relating
to the Series B non-voting redeemable convertible preferred stock; and (iii)
a
loss of approximately $0.6 million resulting from the change in the fair
value
of the embedded derivative from September 30, 2006 to October 20, 2006. See
also
“Note 8 - Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” to our unaudited
consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2006
included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Hickory
Creek Healthcare Foundation, Inc.
On
June
16, 2006, we received approximately $10 million in proceeds on a mortgage
loan
payoff. We held mortgages on 15 facilities located in Indiana, representing
619
beds.
Haven
Eldercare, LLC
·
|
During
the three months ending March 31, 2006, Haven Eldercare, LLC, or
Haven, an
existing operator of ours, entered into a $39 million first mortgage
loan
with General Electric Capital Corporation, or GE Loan. Haven used
the $39
million of proceeds to partially repay on a $62 million mortgage
it has
with us. Simultaneously, we subordinated the payment of our remaining
$23
million on the mortgage note, due in October 2012, to that of the
GE Loan.
As a result of this transaction, the interest rate on our remaining
mortgage note to Haven rose from 10% to approximately 15%, with
annual
escalators.
|
·
|
In
conjunction with the above transactions and the application of
FIN 46R, we
consolidated the financial statements and related real estate of
this
Haven entity into our financial statements. The consolidation resulted
in
the following changes to our consolidated balance sheet as of September
30, 2006: (1) an increase in total gross investments of $39.0 million;
(2)
an increase in accumulated depreciation of $1.2 million; (3) an
increase
in other long-term borrowings of $39.0 million; and (4) a reduction
of
$1.2 million in cumulative net earnings for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 due to the increased depreciation expense. General
Electric Capital Corporation and Haven’s other creditors do not have
recourse to our assets. We have an option to purchase the mortgaged
facilities for a fixed price in 2012. Our results of operations
reflect
the effects of the consolidation of this entity, which is being
accounted
for similarly to our other purchase-leaseback
transactions.
|
Assets
Sold
·
|
On
June 30, 2006, we sold two SNFs in California resulting in an accounting
loss of approximately $0.1 million.
|
·
|
On
March 31, 2006, we sold a SNF in Illinois resulting in an accounting
loss
of approximately $0.2 million.
|
Held
for Sale
·
|
We
had two assets held for sale as of September 30, 2006 with a net
book
value of approximately $0.7 million.
|
·
|
During
the three
months ended March 31, 2006, a
$0.1 million provision for impairment charge was recorded to reduce
the
carrying value to its sales price of one facility that was under
contract
to be sold, which was subsequently sold during the second quarter
of
2006.
|

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
September 30, 2006, we had total assets of $1.2 billion, stockholders’ equity of
$466.5 million and debt of $683.6 million, which represents approximately
59.4%
of our total capitalization.

The
$683.9 million includes $310 million aggregate principal amount
of 7%
Senior Notes due 2014, $175 million aggregate principal amount
of 7%
Senior Notes due 2016, $157.5 million in borrowings under the

Haven’s $39 million first mortgage with General Electric Capital
Corporation that expires in
2012.

Financing
Activities and Borrowing Arrangements
Bank
Credit Agreements
At
September 30, 2006, we had $157.5 million outstanding under our $200 million
revolving senior secured credit facility, as amended, or the New Credit
Facility, and $2.5 million was utilized for the issuance of letters of credit,
leaving availability of $40.0 million. The $157.5 million of outstanding
borrowings had a blended interest rate of 6.57% at September 30, 2006. The
New
Credit Facility, entered into on March 31, 2006, is being provided by Bank
of
America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas,
UBS Securities LLC, General Electric Capital Corporation, LaSalle Bank N.A.,
and
Citicorp North America, Inc. and will be used for acquisitions and general
corporate purposes.
The
New
Credit Facility replaced our previous $200 million senior secured credit
facility, or the Prior Credit Facility, that was terminated on March 31,
2006.
We will realize a 125 basis point savings on LIBOR-based loans under the
New
Credit Facility, as compared to LIBOR-based loans under our Prior Credit
Facility. The New Credit Facility matures on March 31, 2010, and includes
an
“accordion feature” that permits us to expand our borrowing capacity to $300
million during our first two years.
For
the
three-month period ending March 31, 2006, we recorded a one-time, non-cash
charge of approximately $2.7 million relating to the write-off of deferred
financing costs associated with the termination of our Prior Credit
Facility.
Our
long-term borrowings require us to meet certain property level financial
covenants and corporate financial covenants, including prescribed leverage,
fixed charge coverage, minimum net worth, limitations on additional indebtedness
and limitations on dividend payouts. As of September 30, 2006, we were in
compliance with all property level and corporate financial
covenants.
On
October 23, 2006, we entered into a Second Amendment, Waiver and Consent
to
Credit Agreement, or the Second Amendment, pursuant to which the lenders
under
the New Credit Facility waived any potential misrepresentations and events
of
default that could have been caused by the Restatement.
45
$100
Million Aggregate Principal Amount of 6.95% Unsecured Notes Tender and
Redemption
On
December 16, 2005, we initiated a tender offer and consent solicitation for
all
of our outstanding $100 million aggregate principal amount 6.95% notes due
2007,
or the 2007 Notes. On December 30, 2005, we accepted for purchase the 79.3%
of
the aggregate principal amount of the 2007 Notes outstanding that were tendered.
On December 30, 2005, our Board of Directors also authorized the redemption
of
all outstanding 2007 Notes that were not otherwise tendered. On December
30,
2005, upon our irrevocable funding of the full redemption price for the 2007
Notes and certain other acts required by the Indenture governing the 2007
Notes,
the Trustee of the 2007 Notes certified in writing to us, or the Certificate
of
Satisfaction and Discharge, that the Indenture was satisfied and discharged
as
of December 30, 2005, except for certain administrative provisions. In
accordance with FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of
Liabilities,
or FAS
140. we removed 79.3% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2007 Notes,
which
were tendered in our tender offer and consent solicitation, and the
corresponding portion of the funds held in trust by the Trustee to pay the
tender price from our balance sheet and recognized $2.8 million of additional
interest expense associated with the tender offer. On January 18, 2006, we
completed the redemption of the remaining 2007 Notes not otherwise tendered.
Accordingly, we reduced other assets, representing the funds deposited with
the
Trustee, and unsecured borrowings by $21 million. In connection with the
redemption and in accordance with FAS 140, we recognized $0.8 million of
additional interest expense in the first quarter of 2006. As of January 18,
2006, none of the 2007 Notes remained outstanding.
Other
Long-Term Borrowings
During
the three months ended March 31, 2006, Haven used the $39 million of proceeds
from the GE Loan to partially repay a portion of a $62 million mortgage it
has
with us. Simultaneously, we subordinated the payment of its remaining $23
million on the mortgage note to that of the GE Loan. In conjunction with
the
above transactions and the application of FIN 46R, we consolidated the financial
statements of this Haven entity into our financial statements, which contained
the long-term borrowings with General Electric Capital Corporation of $39.0
million. The loan has an interest rate of approximately seven percent and
is due
in 2012. The lender of the $39.0 million does not have recourse to our assets.
See “Note - 3 Properties; Leased Property” to our unaudited consolidated
financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2006 included elsewhere
in this prospectus.
Dividends
In
order
to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends (other than
capital gain dividends) to our stockholders in an amount at least equal to
(A)
the sum of (i) 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (computed without regard to the
dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain), and (ii) 90% of the net
income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (B) the sum
of
certain items of non-cash income. In addition, if we dispose of any built-in
gain asset during a recognition period, we will be required to distribute
at
least 90% of the built-in gain (after tax), if any, recognized on the
disposition of such asset. Such distributions must be paid in the taxable
year
to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if declared before
we
timely file our tax return for such year and paid on or before the first
regular
dividend payment after such declaration. In addition, such distributions
are
required to be made pro rata, with no preference to any share of stock as
compared with other shares of the same class, and with no preference to one
class of stock as compared with another class except to the extent that such
class is entitled to such a preference. To the extent that we do not distribute
all of our net capital gain or do distribute at least 90%, but less than
100% of
our “REIT taxable income,” as adjusted, we will be subject to tax thereon at
regular ordinary and capital gain corporate tax rates. In addition, our New
Credit Facility has certain financial covenants that limit the distribution
of
dividends paid during a fiscal quarter to no more than 95% of our aggregate
cumulative FFO as defined in the loan agreement governing the New Credit
Facility, or the Loan Agreement, unless a greater distribution is required
to
maintain REIT status. The Loan Agreement defines FFO as net income (or loss)
plus depreciation and amortization and shall be adjusted for charges related
to:
(i) restructuring our debt; (ii) redemption of preferred stock; (iii) litigation
charges up to $5.0 million; (iv) non-cash charges for accounts and notes
receivable up to $5.0 million; (v) non-cash compensation related expenses;
(vi)
non-cash impairment charges; and (vii) tax liabilities in an amount not to
exceed $8.0 million.

Series
D Preferred Dividends
On
October 24, 2006, the Board of Directors declared the regular quarterly
dividends for the 8.375% Series D Preferred Stock to stockholders of record
on
November 3, 2006. The stockholders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock
on
November 3, 2006 were paid dividends in the amount of $0.52344
per
preferred share on November 15, 2006. The liquidation preference for our

that
were paid February 15, 2006 to preferred stockholders of record on January

Liquidity
We
believe our liquidity and various sources of available capital, including
cash
from operations, our existing availability under our New Credit Facility
and
expected proceeds from mortgage payoffs are more than adequate to finance
operations, meet recurring debt service requirements and fund future investments
through the next twelve months.
We
regularly review our liquidity needs, the adequacy of cash flow from operations,
and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We believe our
principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund:
·
|
normal
recurring expenses;
|
·
|
debt
service payments;
|
·
|
preferred
stock dividends;

The
primary source of liquidity is our cash flows from operations. Operating
cash
flows have historically been determined by: (i) the number of facilities
we
lease or have mortgages on; (ii) rental and mortgage rates; (iii) our debt
service obligations; and (iv) general and administrative expenses. The timing,
source and amount of cash flows provided by financing activities and used
in
investing activities are sensitive to the capital markets environment,
especially to changes in interest rates. Changes in the capital markets
environment may impact the availability of cost-effective capital and affect
our
plans for acquisition and disposition activity.
Cash
and
cash equivalents totaled $0.0 million as of September 30, 2006, a decrease
of
$3.9 million as compared to the balance at December 31, 2005. The following
is a
discussion of changes in cash and cash equivalents due to operating, investing
and financing activities, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements
of
Cash Flows.
Operating
Activities –
Net cash
flow from operating activities generated $48.0 million for the nine months
ended
September 30, 2006, as compared to $55.3 million for the same period in 2005.
The $7.2 million decrease is due primarily to: a $19.2 million lease inducement
with Guardian; partially offset by (i) incremental revenue associated with
acquisitions completed throughout 2005 and 2006 and (ii) normal working capital
fluctuations during the period.
Investing
Activities –
Net cash flow from investing activities was an outflow of $166.8 million
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to an outflow of $41.0
million
for the same period in 2005. The $125.7 million change in investing cash
outflow
was primarily due to: (i) an outflow of $178.9 million for acquisitions
completed during the nine months of 2006 as compared to $120.7 million for
the
same period in 2005; (ii) a $60.0 million mortgage payoff in 2005 as compared
to
a $10.0 million mortgage payoff in 2006; (iii) $1.5 million collected from
the
sale of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared
to
$25.9 million in 2005; and (iv) $7.6 million of proceeds from the sale of
Sun
common stock in 2006.
Financing
Activities –
Net cash flow from financing activities was an inflow of $114.8 million for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to an outflow of $25.5 million
for the same period in 2005. The increase in financing cash inflow of $140.3
million was primarily a result of: (i) net borrowings of $99.5 million on
our
New Credit Facility in 2006 versus net borrowings of $65.7 million on our
Prior
Credit Facility in 2005; (ii) $39.0 million of proceeds received in a Haven
transaction; (iii) $26.8 million of incremental optional cash purchases of
our
common stock through our dividend reinvestment for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 as compared to the same time period in 2005. The increase
was
partially offset by $50.0 million redemption of the outstanding shares of
Series
B preferred stock in 2005.
Effects
of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued
FAS No.
123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment,
or FAS
No. 123R, which is a revision of FAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation. FAS
No.
123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25,
Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees,
and
amends FAS No. 95, Statement
of Cash Flows. Registrants
were initially required to adopt FAS No. 123R as of the beginning of the
first
interim or annual period that begins after June 15, 2005. On April 14, 2005,
subsequent to the end of our 2005 first quarter, the Securities and Exchange
Commission adopted a new rule that allows companies to implement FAS No.
123R at
the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period,
that begins after June 15, 2005. We adopted FAS No. 123R at the beginning
of our
2006 fiscal year using the modified prospective method. The estimated additional
expense to be recorded in 2006 as a result of this adoption is approximately
$3
thousand.
In
July
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, or FIN 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN
48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for how a
company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial
statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects
to take
on a tax return. FIN 48 will require that the financial statements reflect
expected future tax consequences of such positions presuming the taxing
authorities’ full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts, but without
considering time values. FIN 48 is effective for annual periods beginning
after
December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN
48 on
our financial statements. Upon adoption, the cumulative effect of applying
the
provision of FIN 48 will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance
of
cumulative net income for that fiscal year.
48
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
We
are
exposed to various market risks, including the potential loss arising from
adverse changes in interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives or other
financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, but we seek to
mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the term
of
new investments with new long-term fixed rate borrowing to the extent
possible.
The
following disclosures of estimated fair value of financial instruments are
subjective in nature and are dependent on a number of important assumptions,
including estimates of future cash flows, risks, discount rates and relevant
comparable market information associated with each financial instrument.
The use
of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material
effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates
presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we would realize
in a current market exchange.
Mortgage
notes receivable
- The
fair
value of mortgage notes receivable is estimated by discounting the 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.
Notes receivable
- The
fair
value of notes receivable is estimated by discounting the 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.
Embedded
derivative - conversion feature of preferred stock investment -
The
fair
value of this derivative instrument is determined using a pricing model and
market data derived from Advocat’s common stock, which had a market value of
$5.27 per common share at December 31, 2005.
The
fair
value of our embedded derivative (i.e., the conversion feature of a preferred
stock investment) is subject to change due to fluctuations primarily resulting
from the market value of Advocat’s common stock. A ten percent increase in the
value of Advocat’s common stock to $5.80 per common share would have resulted in
a $287,000 or 26% increase in the value of this derivative as of December
31,
2005. A ten percent decrease in the value of Advocat’s common stock to $4.74 per
common share would have resulted in a $246,000 or 24% decrease in the value
of
this derivative as of December 31, 2005. A ten percent increase in the value
of
Advocat’s common stock as of September 30, 2006 to $21.65 per common share would
have resulted in a $1.4 million or 12.9% increase in the value of this
derivative as of September 30, 2006. A ten percent decrease in the value
of
Advocat’s common stock as of September 30, 2006 to $17.71 per common share would
have resulted in a $1.4 million or 12.9% decrease in the value of this
derivative as of September 30, 2006.
Borrowings
under lines of credit arrangement -
The
carrying amount approximates fair value because the borrowings are interest
rate
adjustable.
Senior
unsecured notes
- The
fair
value of the senior unsecured notes is estimated by discounting the future
cash
flows using the current borrowing rate available for the similar
debt.
49
The
market value of our long-term fixed rate borrowings and mortgages is subject
to
interest rate risks. Generally, the market value of fixed rate financial
instruments will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest
rates
fall. The estimated fair value of our total long-term borrowings at December
31,
2005 was approximately $568.7 million and at September 30, 2006 was
approximately $661.7 million. A one percent increase in interest rates would
result in a decrease in the fair value of long-term borrowings by approximately
$31 million at December 31, 2005 and $29 million at September 30,
2006.
While
we
currently do not engage in hedging strategies, we may engage in such strategies
in the future, depending on management’s analysis of the interest rate
environment and the costs and risks of such strategies.

BUSINESS
Overview
We
were
incorporated in the State of Maryland on March 31, 1992. We are a
self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, investing in
income-producing healthcare facilities, principally long-term care facilities
located in the United States. We provide lease or mortgage financing to
qualified operators of skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs, and, to a lesser
extent, assisted living facilities, or ALFs, rehabilitation and acute care
facilities. We have historically financed investments through borrowings under
our revolving credit facilities, private placements or public offerings of
debt
or equity securities, the assumption of secured indebtedness, or a combination
of these methods.
At
September 30, 2006, our portfolio of domestic investments consisted of 241
healthcare facilities, located in 27 states and operated by 33 third-party
operators. Our gross investment in these facilities, net of impairments and
before reserve for uncollectible loans, totaled approximately $1.3 billion
at
September 30, 2006, with approximately 98% of our real estate investments
related to long-term care facilities. This portfolio is made up of:
·
|
227 long-term
healthcare facilities;
|
·
|
two
rehabilitation hospitals owned and leased to third
parties;
|
·
|
fixed
rate mortgages on 10 long-term healthcare facilities; and
|
·
|
two
long-term healthcare facilities that are currently held for sale.
|
At
September 30, 2006, we also held other investments of approximately $37 million,
consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our
facilities. See “Summary - Recent Developments.”

Investment
Policies with Respect to Certain Activities
Investment
Strategy. We
maintain a diversified portfolio of long-term healthcare facilities and
mortgages on healthcare facilities located throughout the United States. We
acquire these assets for income purposes. In making investments, we generally
have focused on established, creditworthy, middle-market healthcare operators
that meet our standards for quality and experience of management. We have sought
to diversify our investments in terms of geographic locations and operators.
In
evaluating potential investments, we consider such factors as:
·
|
the
quality and experience of management and the creditworthiness of
the
operator of the facility;
|
·
|
the
facility’s historical and forecasted cash flow and its ability to meet
operational needs, capital expenditure requirements and lease or
debt
service obligations, providing a competitive return on our
investment;
|
·
|
the
construction quality, condition and design of the
facility;
|
·
|
the
geographic area of the facility;
|
·
|
the
tax, growth, regulatory and reimbursement environment of the jurisdiction
in which the facility is located;
|
·
|
the
occupancy and demand for similar healthcare facilities in the same
or
nearby communities; and
|
·
|
the
payor mix of private, Medicare and Medicaid
patients.
|
One
of
our fundamental investment strategies is to obtain contractual rent escalations
under long-term, non-cancelable, “triple-net” leases and fixed-rate mortgage
loans, and to obtain substantial liquidity deposits. Additional security is
typically provided by covenants regarding minimum working capital and net worth,
liens on accounts receivable and other operating assets, and various provisions
for cross-default, cross-collateralization and corporate/personal guarantees,
when appropriate.
We
prefer
to invest in equity ownership of properties. Due to regulatory, tax or other
considerations, we sometimes pursue alternative investment structures, including
convertible participating and participating mortgages, which can achieve returns
comparable to equity investments. The following summarizes the primary
investment structures we typically use. Average annualized yields reflect
existing contractual arrangements. However, in view of the ongoing financial
challenges in the long-term care industry, we cannot assure you that the
operators of our facilities will meet their payment obligations in full or
when
due. Therefore, the annualized yields as of January 1, 2006 set forth below
are
not necessarily indicative of or a forecast of actual yields, which may be
lower.
52
Purchase/Leaseback.
In
a
Purchase/Leaseback transaction, we purchase the property from the operator
and
lease it back to the operator over terms typically ranging from 5 to 15 years,
plus renewal options. The leases originated by us generally provide for minimum
annual rentals which are subject to annual formula increases based upon such
factors as increases in the Consumer Price Index, or CPI. The average annualized
yield from leases was approximately 10.8% at January 1, 2006.
Convertible
Participating Mortgage.
Convertible
participating mortgages are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying
real estate and personal property of the mortgagor. Interest rates are usually
subject to annual increases based upon increases in the CPI. Convertible
participating mortgages afford us the option to convert our mortgage into direct
ownership of the property, generally at a point five to ten years from
inception. If we exercise our purchase option, we are obligated to lease the
property back to the operator for the balance of the originally agreed term
and
for the originally agreed participations in revenues or CPI adjustments. This
allows us to capture a portion of the potential appreciation in value of the
real estate. The operator has the right to buy out our option at prices based
on
specified formulas. At December 31, 2005, we did not have any convertible
participating mortgages.
Participating
Mortgage. Participating
mortgages are similar to convertible participating mortgages except that we
do
not have a purchase option. Interest rates are usually subject to annual
increases based upon increases in the CPI. At December 31, 2005, we did not
have
any participating mortgages.
Fixed-Rate
Mortgage. These
mortgages have a fixed interest rate for the mortgage term and are secured
by
first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and personal property of
the
mortgagor. The average annualized yield on these investments was approximately
10.4% at January 1, 2006.
The
following table identifies the years of expiration of the 2006 payment
obligations due to us. This information is provided solely to indicate the
scheduled expiration of payment obligations due to us and is not a forecast
of
expected revenues.

The
table
set forth in “- Properties” below contains information regarding our real estate
properties, their geographic locations, and the types of investment structures
as of December 31, 2005.
Borrowing
Policies. We
may
incur additional indebtedness and have historically sought to maintain
annualized total debt-to-EBITDA ratio in the range of 4 to 5 times. Annualized
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization for a twelve month period. We intend to periodically review our
policy with respect to our total debt-to-EBITDA ratio and to modify the policy
as our management deems prudent in light of prevailing market conditions. Our
strategy generally has been to match the maturity of our indebtedness with
the
maturity of our investment assets and to employ long-term, fixed-rate debt
to
the extent practicable in view of market conditions in existence from time
to
time.
53
We
may
use proceeds of any additional indebtedness to provide permanent financing
for
investments in additional healthcare facilities. We may obtain either secured
or
unsecured indebtedness, and may obtain indebtedness which may be convertible
into capital stock or be accompanied by warrants to purchase capital stock.
Where debt financing is available on terms deemed favorable, we generally may
invest in properties subject to existing loans, secured by mortgages, deeds
of
trust or similar liens on properties.
If
we
need capital to repay indebtedness as it matures, we may be required to
liquidate investments in properties at times which may not permit realization
of
the maximum recovery on these investments. This could also result in adverse
tax
consequences to us. We may be required to issue additional equity interests
in
our company, which could dilute your investment in our company. See
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Federal
Income Tax Considerations. We
intend
to make and manage our investments, including the sale or disposition of
property or other investments, and to operate in such a manner as to qualify
as
a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Internal Revenue
Code, unless, because of changes in circumstances or changes in the Internal
Revenue Code, our Board of Directors determines that it is no longer in our
best
interest to qualify as a REIT. So long as we qualify as a REIT, we generally
will not pay federal income taxes on the portion of our taxable income which
is
distributed to stockholders. See “Certain General Income Tax
Considerations.”
During
the fourth quarter of 2006, we determined that certain terms of the Advocat
Series B non-voting, redeemable convertible preferred stock held by us could
be
interpreted as affecting our compliance with federal income tax rules applicable
to REITs regarding related party tenant income. As such, Advocat, one of our
lessees, may be deemed to be a “related party tenant” under applicable federal
income tax rules. In such event, our rental income from Advocat would not be
qualifying income under the gross income tests that are applicable to REITs.
In
order to maintain qualification as a REIT, we annually must satisfy certain
tests regarding the source of our gross income. The applicable federal income
tax rules provide a “savings clause” for REITs that fail to satisfy the REIT
gross income tests if such failure is due to reasonable cause. A REIT that
qualifies for the savings clause will retain its REIT status but will pay a
tax.
We have submitted to the IRS a request for a closing agreement to resolve the
“related party tenant” issue. While we believe there are valid arguments that
Advocat should not be deemed a “related party tenant,” the matter is not free
from doubt, and we believe it is in our best interest to request a closing
agreement in order to resolve the matter, minimize potential penalties and
obtain assurances regarding our continuing REIT status. By submitting a request
for a closing agreement, we believe we should be able to establish that any
failure to satisfy the gross income tests was due to reasonable cause. See
“Note
15 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to our audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 included
elsewhere in this prospectus.
As
a
result of the Advocat issue described above and further discussed in “Note 15 -
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to our audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 included
elsewhere in this prospectus, we have recorded a $2.4 million, $0.4 million
and
$0.5 million provision for income tax, including related interest expense,
for
the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively and a $1.8
million provision for income tax, including related interest expense, for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006. The amount accrued
represents
the estimated liability, which remains
subject to final resolution and therefore is subject to change. In addition,
in
October 2006, we restructured our Advocat relationship and have been advised
by
tax counsel that we will not receive any non-qualifying related party tenant
income from Advocat in future fiscal years (see “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of
Operation”). Accordingly, we do not expect to incur tax expense associated with
related party tenant income in future periods commencing January 1, 2007,
assuming we enter into a closing agreement with the IRS that recognizes that
reasonable cause existed for any failure to satisfy the REIT gross income tests
as explained above. We will continue to accrue an income tax liability related
to this matter during 2006.
Policies
With Respect To Certain Activities. If
our
Board of Directors determines that additional funding is required, we may raise
such funds through additional equity offerings, debt financing, and retention
of
cash flow (subject to provisions in the Internal Revenue Code concerning
taxability of undistributed REIT taxable income) or a combination of these
methods.
54
Borrowings
may be in the form of bank borrowings, secured or unsecured, and publicly or
privately placed debt instruments, purchase money obligations to the sellers
of
assets, long-term, tax-exempt bonds or financing from banks, institutional
investors or other lenders, or securitizations, any of which indebtedness may
be
unsecured or may be secured by mortgages or other interests in our assets.
Holders of such indebtedness may have recourse to all or any part of our assets
or may be limited to the particular asset to which the indebtedness
relates.
We
have
authority to offer our common stock or other equity or debt securities in
exchange for property and to repurchase or otherwise reacquire our shares or
any
other securities and may engage in such activities in the future.
Subject
to the percentage of ownership limitations and gross income and asset tests
necessary for REIT qualification, we may invest in securities of other REITs,
other entities engaged in real estate activities or securities of other issuers,
including for the purpose of exercising control over such entities.
We
may
engage in the purchase and sale of investments. We do not underwrite the
securities of other issuers.
Our
officers and directors may change any of these policies without a vote of our
stockholders.
In
the
opinion of our management, our properties are adequately covered by
insurance.
55
Properties
At
September 30, 2006, our real estate investments included long-term care
facilities and rehabilitation hospital investments, either in the form of
purchased facilities which are leased to operators, mortgages on facilities
which are operated by the mortgagors or their affiliates and facilities subject
to leasehold interests. The facilities are located in 27 states and are operated
by 33 unaffiliated operators. The following table summarizes our property

Excludes
two facilities classified as Held For Sale at September 30,
2006.
|
Geographically
Diverse Property Portfolio. Our
portfolio of properties is broadly diversified by geographic location. We have
healthcare facilities located in 27 states. Only one state comprised more than
10% of our rental and mortgage income in 2005. In addition, the majority of
our
2005 rental and mortgage income was derived from facilities in states that
require state approval for development and expansion of healthcare facilities.
We believe that such state approvals may limit competition for our operators
and
enhance the value of our properties.
Large
Number of Tenants. Our
facilities are operated by 35 different public and private healthcare providers.
Except for Sun, CommuniCare and Haven, which together hold approximately 43%
of
our portfolio (by investment), no single tenant holds greater than 10% of our
portfolio (by investment).
Significant
Number of Long-term Leases and Mortgage Loans. A
large
portion of our core portfolio consists of long-term lease and mortgage
agreements. At December 31, 2005, approximately 95% of our leases and mortgages
had primary terms that expire in 2010 or later. Our leased real estate
properties are leased under provisions of single facility leases or master
leases with initial terms typically ranging from 5 to 15 years, plus renewal
options. Substantially all of the leases and master leases provide for minimum
annual rentals that are subject to annual increases based upon increases in
the
CPI or increases in revenues of the underlying properties, with certain limits.
Under
the
terms of the leases, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs,
taxes and insurance on the leased properties.
57
Legal
Proceedings
We
are
subject to various legal proceedings, claims and other actions arising out
of
the normal course of business. While any legal proceeding or claim has an
element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of each lawsuit,
claim or legal proceeding that is pending or threatened, or all of them
combined, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
We
and
several of our wholly-owned subsidiaries have been named as defendants in
professional liability claims related to our former owned and operated
facilities. Other third-party managers responsible for the day-to-day operations
of these facilities have also been named as defendants in these claims. In
these
suits, patients of certain previously owned and operated facilities have alleged
significant damages, including punitive damages against the defendants. The
majority of these lawsuits representing the most significant amount of exposure
were settled in 2004. There currently is one lawsuit pending that is in the
discovery stage, and we are unable to predict the likely outcome of this lawsuit
at this time.

COMPENSATION
DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS
Our
Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) addresses the following
topics:
·
|
the
members and role of our Compensation Committee (the “Committee”);
|
·
|
our
compensation-setting process;
|
·
|
our
compensation philosophy and policies regarding executive compensation;
|
·
|
the
components of our executive compensation program; and
|
·
|
our
compensation decisions for fiscal year 2006 and for the first quarter
of
2007.
|
In
this
Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the terms “we,” “our,” “us” and
the “Committee” refer to the Compensation Committee of Omega Healthcare
Investors, Inc.’s Board of Directors.
The
Compensation
Committee
Committee
Members and Independence
Thomas
F.
Franke, Harold J. Kloosterman, Bernard J. Korman, Edward Lowenthal, and Stephen
D. Plavin are the members of the Committee. Mr. Franke, who has served on
the Company’s Board of Directors since 1992, is the Chairman of the Committee.
Each member of the Committee qualifies as an independent director under the
New
York Stock Exchange listing standards and under the Company’s Board of
Directors’ standards of independence.
Role
of the Committee
The
Committee’s responsibilities and function are governed by its charter, which the
Board of Directors has adopted and a copy of which is available at our website.
The Committee administers our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, our 2000 Stock
Incentive Plan and our 1993 Deferred Compensation Plan and has responsibility
for other incentive and benefit plans. The Committee determines the compensation
of our executive officers and reviews with the Board of Directors all aspects
of
compensation for our executive officers.
The
Committee is responsible to the Board for the following activities:
·
|
The
Committee determines and approves the compensation for the Chief
Executive
Officer and our other executive officers. In doing so, the Committee
evaluates their performance in light of goals and objectives reviewed
by
the Committee and such other factors as the Committee deems appropriate
in
our best interests and in satisfaction of any applicable requirements
of
the New York Stock Exchange and any other legal or regulatory
requirements.
|
·
|
The
Committee reviews and recommends for Board approval (or approves,
where
applicable) the adoption and amendment of our director and executive
officer incentive compensation and equity-based plans. The Committee
has
the responsibility for recommending to the Board the level and form
of
compensation and benefits for directors.
|
·
|
The
Committee may administer our incentive compensation and equity-based
plans
and may approve such awards thereunder as the Committee deems
appropriate.
|
·
|
The
Committee reviews and monitors succession plans for the Chief Executive
Officer and our other senior
executives.
|
61
·
|
The
Committee meets to review and discuss with management the CD&A
required by the SEC rules and regulations. The Committee recommends
to the
Board whether the CD&A should be included in our proxy statement or
other applicable SEC filings. The Committee prepares a Compensation
Committee Report for inclusion in our applicable filings with the
SEC.
Such reports state whether the Committee reviewed and discussed with
management the CD&A, and whether, based on such review and discussion,
the Committee recommended to the Board that the CD&A be included in
our proxy statement or other applicable SEC
filings.
|
·
|
The
Committee should be consulted with respect to any employment agreements,
severance agreements or change of control agreements that are entered
into
between us and any executive officer.
|
·
|
To
the extent not otherwise inconsistent with its obligations and
responsibilities, the Committee may form subcommittees (which shall
consist of one or more members of the Committee) and delegate authority
to
such subcommittees hereunder as it deems
appropriate.
|
·
|
The
Committee reports to the Board as it deems appropriate and as the
Board
may request.
|
·
|
The
Committee performs such other activities consistent with its charter,
our
Bylaws, governing law, the rules and regulations of the New York
Stock
Exchange and such other requirements applicable to the Company as
the
Committee or the Board deems necessary or
appropriate.
|
The
responsibilities of a member of the Committee are in addition to those
responsibilities set out for a member of the Board.
Committee
Meetings
The
Committee meets as often as necessary to perform its duties and
responsibilities. The Committee met four times during the year ended December
31, 2006 and thus far has held three meetings in 2007. Mr. Franke works,
from time to time, with Mr. Pickett and other members of the Committee to
establish the agenda. The Committee typically meets in executive sessions
without management and meets with the Company’s legal counsel and outside
advisors when necessary.
The
Committee receives and reviews materials in advance of its meetings. These
materials include information that management believes will be helpful to the
Committee as well as materials the Committee has requested. Depending upon
the
agenda for the particular meeting, these materials may include, among other
things:
·
|
reports
from compensation consultants or legal
counsel;
|
·
|
a
comparison of the compensation of our executives and directors compared
to
its competitors prepared by members of the Committee, by management
at the
Committee’s request or by a compensation consultant engaged by the
Committee;
|
·
|
financial
reports on year-to-date performance versus budget and compared to
prior
year performance, as well as other financial data regarding us and
our
performance;
|
·
|
reports
on our strategic plan and budgets for future
periods;
|
·
|
information
on the executive officers’ stock ownership and option holdings; and
|
·
|
reports
on the levels of achievement of individual and corporate
objectives.

The
Compensation
Committee Process
Committee
Advisors
The
Compensation Committee Charter grants the Committee the sole and direct
authority to engage and terminate advisors and compensation consultants and
to
approve their fees and retention terms. These advisors and consultants report
directly to the Committee and we are responsible for paying their
fees.
The
Committee had previously engaged a consulting group in 2004, The Schonbraun
McCann Group LLP, or Schonbraun, in connection with determining the compensation
of our executive officers for the current fiscal year, and the Committee also
retained Schonbraun in late 2006 in connection with determining the compensation
and incentive arrangements for our executive officers for fiscal year 2007.
Schonbraun has not performed and has agreed not to perform in the future any
work for us other than work for which it is engaged by the Committee. During
late 2006 and early 2007, Schonbraun presented to the Committee analysis that
included, but was not limited to, the status of our current compensation scheme
as compared to our peer companies, the methodologies behind the research and
analysis it used to determine the comparisons, the techniques it used to
standardize the compensation schemes of peer companies in order to permit more
accurate comparisons against our policies, and a proposed incentive compensation
plan for executive officers. The Committee also requested that Schonbraun
evaluate our current director compensation and prepare a proposal with respect
to compensation for our directors in 2007.
Peer
companies included in Schonbraun’s 2006/2007 analysis were Alexandria Real
Estate Equities, Inc., BioMed Realty Trust, Corporate Office Properties Trust
Inc., Digital Realty Trust, Inc., First Potomac Realty Trust, Glenborough Realty
Trust Incorporated, Health Care REIT, Inc., Healthcare Realty Trust, LTC
Properties, Inc., Medical Properties Trust Inc., Nationwide Health Properties,
Inc., Parkway Properties, Inc., Republic Property Trust, Ventas, Inc.,
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust and Windrose Medical Properties Trust.
Analyses performed included a comparison of the total return to the stockholders
of the respective companies, a comparison of salaries of comparable officers
for
each company and a comparison of the terms of officer employment agreements.
Also,
our
Chief Executive Officer meets with the Committee upon the Committee’s request to
provide information to the Committee regarding management’s views regarding its
performance as well as other factors the Chief Executive Officer believes should
impact the compensation of our executive officers. In addition, the Chief
Executive Officer provides his recommendation to the Committee regarding the
compensation of the executive officers and the business and performance targets
for incentive awards and bonuses.
Annual
Evaluation
The
Committee meets in one or more executive sessions each year to evaluate the
performance of our named executive officers, to determine their bonuses for
the
prior year, to establish bonus metrics for the current year, to set their
salaries for the current year, and to approve any grants to them of equity
incentive compensation, as the case may be.
The
Committee also performs an annual evaluation of its performance and the adequacy
of its charter and reports to our Board of Directors regarding this evaluation.
Compensation
Policy
Historically,
the policy and the guidelines followed by the Committee have been directed
toward providing compensation and incentives to our executive officers in order
to achieve the following objectives:
1)
|
Assist
in attracting and retaining talented and well-qualified
executives;
|
2)
|
Reward
performance and initiative;
|
3)
|
Be
competitive with other healthcare real estate investment
trusts;
|
63
4)
|
Be
significantly related to accomplishments and our short-term and long-term
successes, particularly measured in terms of growth in funds from
operations on a per share basis;
|
(5)
|
Align
the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our
stockholders; and
|
6)
|
Encourage
executives to achieve meaningful levels of ownership of our
stock.
|
Elements
of Compensation
The
following is a discussion of each element of our executive
compensation:
Annual
Base Salary
Our
approach to base compensation levels has been to offer competitive salaries
in
comparison with prevailing market practices. The Committee examined market
compensation levels and trends in connection with the issuance of the executive
employment contracts during 2004. Additionally, in connection with the issuance
of these contracts, the Committee hired Schonbraun in 2004 to conduct a review
and analysis of our peer group companies and to provide the Committee with
executive base salaries of individuals then employed in similar positions in
such companies. The employment agreements for each of the executive officers
established a base annual salary and provided that the base salary should be
reviewed on an annual basis to determine if increases are
warranted.
In
2006
and 2007, the Committee evaluated and established the annual executive officer
salaries for each fiscal year in connection with its annual review of
management’s performance and based on input from our Chairman of the Board of
Directors and our Chief Executive Officer. The Committee undertook this
evaluation and determination at the beginning of fiscal year 2006 and 2007
so
that it could have available data for the recently completed prior fiscal year
and so that it could set expectations for the beginning fiscal year. In
undertaking the annual review, the Committee considered the decision-making
responsibilities of each position and the experience, work performance and
team-building skills of each incumbent officer, as well as our overall
performance and the achievement of our strategic objectives and budgets. The
Committee viewed work performance as the single most important measurement
factor, followed by team-building skills and decision-making responsibilities.
We
accrue
salaries as they are earned by our officers, and thus all salaries earned during
the year are expensed in the year earned. Each officer must include his salary
in his taxable income in the year during which he receives it. We withhold
appropriate tax withholdings from the salaries of the respective
officers.
Annual
Cash Bonus
Our
historical compensation practices have embodied the principle that annual cash
bonuses should be based primarily on achieving objectives that enhance long-term
stockholder value is desirable in aligning stockholder and management
interests.
The
Committee has considered our overall financial performance for the fiscal year
and the performance of the specific areas of our company under each incumbent
officer’s direct control. It was the Committee’s view that this balance
supported the accomplishment of overall objectives and rewarded individual
contributions by executive officers. Individual annual bonuses for each named
executive have been consistent with market practices for positions with
comparable decision-making responsibilities and have been awarded in accordance
with the terms of each executive officer’s employment agreement.
In
2006,
the executive officers were eligible for a cash bonus at the Committee’s
discretion based on the objective, subjective and personal performance goals
set
by the Committee. This bonus is in addition to any special bonus that may be
paid at the discretion of the Board. In determining the amount of the annual
cash bonuses, the Committee considered a variety of factors, including the
individual performance of each executive officer along with our achievement
of
certain financial benchmarks, the successful implementation of asset management
initiatives, control of expenses and satisfaction of our strategic objectives.
Considering these factors, the Committee set annual cash bonuses related to
fiscal year 2006 for Messrs. Pickett, Booth, Stephenson, and Crabill at
$463,500, $158,500, $114,750 and $123,000, respectively.
64
We
accrue
estimated bonuses for our executive officers throughout the year service is
performed relating to such bonuses, and thus bonuses are expensed in the year
they are earned, assuming they are approved by our Board of Directors. Each
officer must include his bonus in his taxable income in the year during which
he
receives it, which is generally in the year following the year it is earned.
We
withhold appropriate tax withholdings from the bonus amounts awarded.
Restricted
Stock Incentives
In
2004,
we entered into restricted stock agreements with four executive officers under
the Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. A total of
317,500 shares of restricted stock were granted, which equated to approximately
$3.3 million of deferred compensation. The shares vest thirty-three and
one-third percent (33 ⅓%) on each of January 1, 2005, January 1, 2006 and
January 1, 2007 so long as the executive officer remains employed on the vesting
date, with vesting accelerating upon a qualifying termination of employment,
upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the restricted stock
agreements), death or disability. In addition, we also entered into performance
restricted stock unit agreements with our four executive officers. A total
of
317,500 performance restricted stock units were granted under the Omega
Healthcare Investors, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The performance restricted
stock units were fully vested as December 31, 2006 following our attaining
$0.30
per share of common stock per fiscal quarter in “Adjusted Funds from Operations”
(as defined in the agreement) for two (2) consecutive quarters. Dividend
equivalents (plus an interest factor based on our company’s cost of borrowing)
accrued on unvested shares and were paid, according to the terms of the stock
grant, because the performance restricted stock units vested. Dividend
equivalents on vested performance restricted stock units are paid currently.
Pursuant to the terms of the performance restricted stock unit agreements,
each
of the executive officers will not receive the vested shares attributable to
the
performance restricted stock units until the earlier of January 1, 2008, such
executive officer is terminated without cause or quits for good reason (as
defined in the performance restricted stock unit agreement), or the death or
disability (as defined in performance restricted stock unit agreement) of the
executive officer.
In
2006,
the Committee did not make any grants under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan,
2000
Stock Incentive Plan or 1993 Deferred Compensation Plan to any executive officer
or employee.
We
account for all stock and option awards in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(“FAS
123R”). Executive officers recognize taxable income from stock option awards
when a vested option is exercised. We generally receive a corresponding tax
deduction for compensation expense in the year of exercise. The amount included
in the executive officer’s wages and the amount we may deduct is equal to the
most recent closing common stock price on the date the stock options are
exercised less the exercise price multiplies by the number of stock options
exercised. We do not pay or reimburse any executive officer for any taxes due
upon exercise of a stock option or upon vesting of an award.
Retirement
Savings Opportunities
All
employees may participate in our 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan, or 401(k)
Plan.
We provide this plan to help our employees save some amount of their cash
compensation for retirement in a tax efficient manner. Under
the
401(k)
Plan,
employees are eligible to make contributions, and we, at our discretion, may
match contributions and make a profit sharing contribution.
We do
not provide an option for our employees to invest in our stock in the 401(k)
plan.
Health
and Welfare Benefits
We
provide a competitive benefits package to all full-time employees which includes
health and welfare benefits, such as medical, dental, disability insurance,
and
life insurance benefits. The plans under which these benefits are offered do
not
discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of officers and directors
and
are available to all salaried employees. We have no structured executive
perquisite benefits (e.g., club memberships or company vehicles) for any
executive officer, including the named executive officers, and we currently
do
not provide supplemental pensions to our employees, including the named
executive officers.
65
2006
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
In
connection with retaining the services of Mr. Pickett to act as our Chief
Executive Officer, we entered into an employment Agreement dated September
1,
2004 with Mr. Pickett. The Committee believes that the terms of the
employment agreement are consistent with the duties and scope of
responsibilities assigned to Mr. Pickett as Chief Executive Officer. In
order to align Mr. Pickett’s interests with our long-term interests,
Mr. Pickett’s compensation package includes significant equity-based
compensation, including stock options and restricted stock. For a detailed
description of the terms of the Employment Agreement, see “Compensation and
Severance Agreements - C. Taylor Pickett Employment Agreement”
below.
For
the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Committee awarded Mr. Pickett an
annual cash bonus of $463,500. This bonus was determined by the Committee
substantially in accordance with the policies described above relating to all
of
our executive officers.
COMPENSATION
COMMITTEE
REPORT
The
Committee reviewed and discussed the CD&A with management, and based on this
review and discussion, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors
that
the CD&A be included in this prospectus, in the Company’s annual proxy
statement and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006.
Tax
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
The
SEC
requires that this report comment upon our policy with respect to Section 162(m)
of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m) disallows a federal income tax
deduction for compensation over $1.0 million to any of the named executive
officers unless the compensation is paid pursuant to a plan that is
performance-related, non-discretionary and has been approved by our
stockholders. We did not pay any compensation during 2006 that would be subject
to Section 162(m). We believe that, because we qualify as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code and therefore are not subject to federal income taxes
on
our income to the extent distributed, the payment of compensation that does
not
satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) will not generally affect our net
income, although to the extent that compensation does not qualify for deduction
under Section 162(m), a larger portion of stockholder distributions may be
subject to federal income taxation as dividend income rather than return of
capital. We do not believe that Section 162(m) will materially affect the
taxability of stockholder distributions, although no assurance can be given
in
this regard due to the variety of factors that affect the tax position of each
stockholder. For these reasons, Section 162(m) does not directly govern the
Compensation Committee’s compensation policy and practices.

Compensation
and Severance Agreements
C.
Taylor Pickett Employment Agreement
We
entered into an employment agreement with C. Taylor Pickett, dated as of
September 1, 2004, to be our Chief Executive Officer. The term of the agreement
expires on December 31, 2007.
Mr.
Pickett’s current base salary is $530,500 per year, subject to increase by us
and provides that he will be eligible for an annual bonus of up to 125% of
his
base salary based on criteria determined by the Compensation Committee of
our
Board of Directors.
In
connection with this employment agreement, we issued Mr. Pickett 125,000
shares
of our restricted common stock on September 10, 2004, which vested 33 1/3%
on
each of January 1, 2005, January 1, 2006, and January 1, 2007. Dividends
were
paid on unvested shares and a dividend equivalent per share was paid in an
amount equal to the dividend per share payable to stockholders of record
as of
July 30, 2004. Also in connection with this employment agreement, we issued
Mr.
Pickett 125,000 performance restricted stock units on September 10, 2004,
which
were fully vested as of December 31, 2006 because we had attained $0.30 per
share of common stock per fiscal quarter in “Adjusted Funds from Operations” (as
defined in the agreement) for two (2) consecutive quarters. Dividend equivalents
accrued on unvested shares and were paid upon vesting of the performance
restricted stock units. Dividend equivalents on vested performance restricted
stock units are paid currently. Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Pickett’s
performance restricted stock unit agreement, he will not receive the vested
shares attributable to his performance restricted stock units until the earlier
of January 1, 2008, he is terminated without cause or quits for good reason
(as
defined in the performance restricted stock unit agreement), or his the death
or
disability (as defined in performance restricted stock unit
agreement).
If
we
terminate Mr. Pickett’s employment without “cause” or if he resigns for “good
reason,” he will be entitled to payment of his cash compensation (the sum of his
then current annual base salary plus average annual bonus payable based on
the
three completed fiscal years prior to termination of employment) for a period
of
three (3) years. “Cause” is defined in the employment agreement to include
events such as willful refusal to perform duties, willful misconduct in
performance of duties, unauthorized disclosure of confidential company
information, or fraud or dishonesty against us. “Good reason” is defined in the
employment agreement to include events such as our material breach of the
employment agreement or our relocation of Mr. Pickett’s employment to more than
50 miles away without his consent.
Mr.
Pickett is required to execute a release of claims against us as a condition
to
the payment of severance benefits. Severance is not paid if the term of the
employment agreement expires. Mr. Pickett’s restricted common stock and
performance restricted stock units will become fully vested upon the occurrence
of Mr. Pickett’s death, disability, termination of employment without cause or
resignation for good reason, or a “change in control” (as defined in the
respective restricted stock agreement). In the event of a termination by
us
without Cause or by Mr. Pickett for Good Reason, benefits are grossed up
to
cover federal excise taxes. If Mr. Pickett dies during the term of the
employment agreement, his estate is entitled to a prorated bonus for the
year of
his death.
Mr.
Pickett is restricted from using any of our confidential information during
his
employment and for two years thereafter or from using any trade secrets during
his employment and for as long thereafter as permitted by applicable law.
During
the period of employment and for one year thereafter, Mr. Pickett is obligated
not to provide managerial services or management consulting services to a
competing business. Competing businesses is defined to include a defined
list of
competitors and any other business with the primary purpose of leasing assets
to
healthcare operators or financing ownership or operation of senior, retirement
or healthcare related real estate. In addition, during the period of employment
and for one year thereafter, Mr. Pickett agrees not to solicit clients or
customers with whom he had material contact or to solicit our management
level
or key employees. If the term of the employment agreement expires at December
31, 2007 and as a result no severance is paid, then these provisions also
expire
at December 31, 2007.
69
Daniel
J. Booth Employment Agreement
We
entered into an employment agreement with Daniel J. Booth, dated as of September
1, 2004, to be our Chief Operating Officer. The term of the agreement expires
on
December 31, 2007.
Mr.
Booth’s current base salary is $326,500 per year, subject to increase by us and
provides that he will be eligible for an annual bonus of up to 75% of his
base
salary based on criteria determined by the Compensation Committee of our
Board
of Directors.
In
connection with this employment agreement, we issued Mr. Booth 75,000 shares
of
our restricted common stock on September 10, 2004, which vested 33 1/3% on
each
of January 1, 2005, January 1, 2006, and January 1, 2007. Dividends were
paid on
unvested shares and a dividend equivalent per share was paid in an amount
equal
to the dividend per share payable to stockholders of record as of July 30,
2004.
Also in connection with this employment agreement, we issued Mr. Booth 75,000
performance restricted stock units on September 10, 2004, which were fully
vested as of December 31, 2006 because we had attained $0.30 per share of
common
stock per fiscal quarter in “Adjusted Funds from Operations” (as defined in the
agreement) for two (2) consecutive quarters. Dividend equivalents on vested
performance restricted stock units are paid currently. Pursuant to the terms
of
Mr. Booth’s performance restricted stock unit agreement, he will not receive the
vested shares attributable to his performance restricted stock units until
the
earlier of January 1, 2008, he is terminated without cause or quits for good
reason (as defined in the performance restricted stock unit agreement), or
his
the death or disability (as defined in performance restricted stock unit
agreement).
If
we
terminate Mr. Booth’s employment without “cause” or if he resigns for “good
reason,” he will be entitled to payment of his cash compensation (the sum of his
then current annual base salary plus average annual bonus payable based on
the
three completed fiscal years prior to termination of employment) for a period
of
two (2) years. “Cause” is defined in the employment agreement to include events
such as willful refusal to perform duties, willful misconduct in performance
of
duties, unauthorized disclosure of confidential company information, or fraud
or
dishonesty against us. “Good reason” is defined in the employment agreement to
include events such as our material breach of the employment agreement or
our
relocation of Mr. Booth’s employment to more than 50 miles away without his
consent.
Mr.
Booth
is required to execute a release of claims against us as a condition to the
payment of severance benefits. Severance is not paid if the term of the
employment agreement expires. Mr. Booth’s restricted common stock and
performance restricted stock units will become fully vested upon the occurrence
of Mr. Booth’s death, disability, termination of employment without cause or
resignation for good reason, or a “change in control” (as defined in the
respective restricted stock agreement). In the event of a termination by
us
without Cause or by Mr. Booth for Good Reason, benefits are grossed up to
cover
federal excise taxes. If Mr. Booth dies during the term of the employment
agreement, his estate is entitled to a prorated bonus for the year of his
death.
Mr.
Booth
is restricted from using any of our confidential information during his
employment and for two years thereafter or from using any trade secrets during
his employment and for as long thereafter as permitted by applicable law.
During
the period of employment and for one year thereafter, Mr. Booth is obligated
not
to provide managerial services or management consulting services to a competing
business. Competing businesses is defined to include a defined list of
competitors and any other business with the primary purpose of leasing assets

and for one year thereafter, Mr. Booth agrees not to solicit clients or
customers with whom he had material contact or to solicit our management
level
or key employees. If the term of the employment agreement expires at December
31, 2007 and as a result no severance is paid, then these provisions also
expire
at December 31, 2007.
Robert
O. Stephenson Employment Agreement
We
entered into an employment agreement with Robert O. Stephenson, dated as
of
September 1, 2004, to be our Chief Financial Officer. The term of the agreement
expires on December 31, 2007.
70
Mr.
Stephenson’s current base salary is $262,700 per year, subject to increase by us
and provides that he will be eligible for an annual bonus of up to 60% of
his
base salary based on criteria determined by the Compensation Committee of
our
Board of Directors.
In
connection with this employment agreement, we issued Mr. Stephenson 60,000
shares of our restricted common stock on September 10, 2004, which vested
33
1/3% on each of January 1, 2005, January 1, 2006, and January 1, 2007. Dividends
were paid on unvested shares and a dividend equivalent per share was paid
in an
amount equal to the dividend per share payable to stockholders of record
as of
July 30, 2004. Also in connection with this employment agreement, we issued
Mr.
Stephenson 60,000 performance restricted stock units on September 10, 2004,
which were fully vested as of as of December 31, 2006 because we had attained
$0.30 per share of common stock per fiscal quarter in “Adjusted Funds from
Operation” (as defined in the agreement) for two (2) consecutive quarters.
Dividend equivalents on vested performance restricted stock units are paid
currently. Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Stephenson’s performance restricted
stock unit agreement, he will not receive the vested shares attributable
to his
performance restricted stock units until the earlier of January 1, 2008,
he is
terminated without cause or quits for good reason (as defined in the performance
restricted stock unit agreement), or his the death or disability (as defined
in
performance restricted stock unit agreement).
If
we
terminate Mr. Stephenson’s employment without “cause” or if he resigns for “good
reason,” he will be entitled to payment of his cash compensation (the sum of his
then current annual base salary plus average annual bonus payable based on
the
three completed fiscal years prior to termination of employment) for a period
of
one and one half (1.5) years. “Cause” is defined in the employment agreement to
include events such as willful refusal to perform duties, willful misconduct
in
performance of duties, unauthorized disclosure of confidential company
information, or fraud or dishonesty against us. “Good reason” is defined in the
employment agreement to include events such as our material breach of the
employment agreement or our relocation of Mr. Stephenson’s employment to more
than 50 miles away without his consent.
Mr.
Stephenson is required to execute a release of claims against us as a condition
to the payment of severance benefits. Severance is not paid if the term of
the
employment agreement expires. Mr. Stephenson’s restricted common stock and
performance restricted stock units will become fully vested upon the occurrence
of Mr. Stephenson’s death, disability, termination of employment without cause
or resignation for good reason, or a “change in control” (as defined in the
respective restricted stock agreement). In the event of a termination by
us
without Cause or by Mr. Stephenson for Good Reason, benefits are grossed
up to
cover federal excise taxes. If Mr. Stephenson dies during the term of the
employment agreement, his estate is entitled to a prorated bonus for the
year of
his death.
Mr.
Stephenson is restricted from using any of our confidential information during
his employment and for two years thereafter or from using any trade secrets
during his employment and for as long thereafter as permitted by applicable
law.
During the period of employment and for one year thereafter, Mr. Stephenson
is

to a competing business. Competing businesses is defined to include a defined

retirement or healthcare related real estate. In addition, during the period
of
employment and for one year thereafter, Mr. Stephenson agrees not to solicit
clients or customers with whom he had material contact or to solicit our
management level or key employees. If the term of the employment agreement
expires at December 31, 2007 and as a result no severance is paid, then these
provisions also expire at December 31, 2007.

71
In
connection with this employment agreement, we issued Mr. Crabill 57,500 shares
of our restricted common stock on September 10, 2004, which vested 33 1/3%
on
each of January 1, 2005, January 1, 2006, and January 1, 2007. Dividends

of
January 1, 2008, he is terminated without cause or quits for good reason
(as

to
the payment of severance benefits. Severance is not paid if the term of the
employment agreement expires. Mr. Crabill’s restricted common stock and
performance restricted stock units will become fully vested upon the occurrence
of Mr. Crabill’s death, disability, termination of employment without cause or
resignation for good reason, or a “change in control” (as defined in the
respective restricted stock agreement). In the event of a termination by
us

to
cover federal excise taxes. If Mr. Crabill dies during the term of the
employment agreement, his estate is entitled to a prorated bonus for the

RESTRICTIONS
ON
OWNERSHIP OF SHARES
Because
our board of directors believes it is essential for us to continue to qualify
as
a REIT, our charter documents contain restrictions on the ownership and transfer
of our capital stock that are intended to assist us in complying with the
requirements to qualify as a real estate investment trust.
If
our
board of directors is, at any time and in good faith, of the opinion that direct
or indirect ownership of at least 9.9% or more of the voting shares of stock
has
or may become concentrated in the hands of one beneficial owner (as that term
is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), our board of directors has the
power:
·
|
by
any means deemed equitable by it to call for the purchase from any
stockholder a number of voting shares sufficient, in the opinion
of our
board of directors, to maintain or bring the direct or indirect ownership
of voting shares of stock of the beneficial owner to a level of no
more
than 9.9% of the outstanding voting shares of our stock;
and
|
·
|
to
refuse to transfer or issue voting shares of stock to any person
whose
acquisition of those voting shares would, in the opinion of our board
of
directors, result in the direct or indirect ownership by that person
of
more than 9.9% of the outstanding voting shares of our
stock.
|
Further,
any transfer of shares, options, warrants or other securities convertible into
voting shares that would create a beneficial owner of more than 9.9% of the
outstanding shares of our stock shall be deemed void ab initio and the intended
transferee shall be deemed never to have had an interest therein. The purchase
price for any voting shares of stock so redeemed shall be equal to:
·
|
the
fair market value of the shares reflected in the closing sales price
for
the shares, if then listed on a national securities
exchange;
|
·
|
the
average of the closing sales prices for the shares, if then listed
on more
than one national securities
exchange;
|
·
|
if
the shares are not then listed on a national securities exchange,
the
latest bid quotation for the shares if then traded over-the-counter,
on
the last business day immediately preceding the day on which notices
of
the acquisitions are sent; or
|
·
|
if
none of these closing sales prices or quotations are available, then
the
purchase price will be equal to the net asset value of the stock
as
determined by our board of directors in accordance with the provisions
of
applicable law.
|
From
and
after the date fixed for purchase by our board of directors, the holder of
any
shares so called for purchase shall cease to be entitled to distributions,
voting rights and other benefits with respect to those shares, except the right
to payment of the purchase price for the shares.

optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereon, including, but not limited to, dividend rights, dividend rate or rates,
conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including
sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation
preferences as shall be stated in the resolution providing for the issue of
a
series of such stock, adopted, at any time or from time to time, by our Board
of
Directors.
The
preferred stock shall have the dividend, liquidation, redemption and voting
rights set forth below unless otherwise provided in a prospectus supplement
relating to a particular series of the preferred stock. Reference is made to
the
prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of the preferred stock
offered thereby for specific terms, including:
·
|
the
designation and stated value per share of such preferred stock and
the
number of shares offered;
|
·
|
the
amount of liquidation preference per
share;
|
·
|
the
initial public offering price at which such preferred stock will
be
issued;
|
·
|
the
dividend rate (or method of calculation), the dates on which dividends
shall be payable and the dates from which dividends shall commence
to
cumulate, if any;
|
·
|
any
redemption or sinking fund
provisions;
|
·
|
any
conversion rights; and
|
·
|
any
additional voting, dividend, liquidation, redemption, sinking fund
and
other rights, preferences, privileges, limitations and
restrictions.
|
The
preferred stock will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable and will
have
no preemptive rights. Unless otherwise stated in a prospectus supplement
relating to a particular series of the preferred stock, each series of the
preferred stock will rank on a parity as to dividends and distributions of
assets with each other series of the preferred stock. The rights of the holders
of each series of the preferred stock will be subordinate to those of the
company’s general creditors.
Dividend
Rights
Holders
of the preferred stock of each series will be entitled to receive, when, as
and
if declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds of the company legally
available therefor, cash dividends on such dates and at such rates as will
be
set forth in, or as are determined by, the method described in the prospectus
supplement relating to such series of the preferred stock. Such rate may be
fixed or variable or both. Each such dividend will be payable to the holders
of
record as they appear on the stock books of the company on such record dates,
fixed by our Board of Directors, as specified in the prospectus supplement
relating to such series of preferred stock.
Dividends
on any series of preferred stock may be cumulative or noncumulative, as provided
in the applicable prospectus supplement. If the board of directors of the
company fails to declare a dividend payable on a dividend payment date on any
series of preferred stock for which dividends are noncumulative, then the
holders of such
series of preferred stock will have no right to receive a dividend in respect
of
the dividend period ending on such dividend payment date, and the company shall
have no obligation to pay the dividend accrued for such period, whether or
not
dividends on such series are declared payable on any future dividend payment
dates. Dividends on the shares of each series of preferred stock for which
dividends are cumulative will accrue from the date on which we initially issue
shares of such series.
78
So
long
as the shares of any series of the preferred stock shall be outstanding,
unless
·
|
full
dividends (including if such preferred stock is cumulative, dividends
for
prior dividend periods) shall have been paid or declared and set
apart for
payment on all outstanding shares of the preferred stock of such
series
and all other classes and series of preferred stock of the company
(other
than “junior stock” as defined below),
and
|
·
|
we
are not in default or in arrears with respect to the mandatory or
optional
redemption or mandatory repurchase or other mandatory retirement
of, or
with respect to any sinking or other analogous fund for, any shares
of
preferred stock of such series or any shares of any of our other
preferred
stock of any class or series (other than junior
stock),
|
we
may
not declare any dividends on any shares of our common stock or our other stock
ranking as to dividends or distributions of assets junior to such series of
preferred stock (the common stock and any such other stock being herein referred
to as “junior stock”), or make any payment on account of, or set apart money
for, the purchase, redemption or other retirement of, or for a sinking or other
analogous fund for, any shares of junior stock or make any distribution in
respect thereof, whether in cash or property or in obligations or our stock,
other than junior stock which is neither convertible into, nor exchangeable
or
exercisable for, any of our securities other than junior stock.
Liquidation
Preference
In
the
event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, voluntary
or
involuntary, the holders of each series of the preferred stock will be entitled
to receive out of the assets of the company available for distribution to
stockholders, before any distribution of assets is made to the holders of our
common stock or any other shares of our stock ranking junior as to such
distribution to such series of preferred stock, the amount set forth in the
prospectus supplement relating to such series of the preferred stock. If, upon
any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our
company, the amounts payable with respect to the preferred stock of any series
and any other shares of our preferred stock (including any other series of
the
preferred stock) ranking as to any such distribution on a parity with such
series of the preferred stock are not paid in full, the holders of the preferred
stock of such series and of such other shares of our preferred stock will share
ratably in any such distribution of our assets in proportion to the full
respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled. After payment to
the
holders of the preferred stock of each series of the full preferential amounts
of the liquidating distribution to which they are entitled, the holders of
each
such series of the preferred stock will be entitled to no further participation
in any distribution of our assets.
If
liquidating distributions shall have been made in full to all holders of shares
of preferred stock, the remaining assets of the company shall be distributed
among the holders of junior stock, according to their respective rights and
preferences and in each case according to their respective number of shares.
For
such purposes, the consolidation or merger of the company with or into any
other
corporation, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of
our
property or business shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of our company.
Redemption
A
series
of the preferred stock may be redeemable, in whole or from time to time in
part,
at our option, and may be subject to mandatory redemption pursuant to a sinking
fund or otherwise, in each case upon terms, at the time and at the redemption
prices set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to such series. Shares
of
the preferred stock redeemed by us will be restored to the status of authorized
but unissued shares of our preferred stock.
79
In
the
event that fewer than all of the outstanding shares of a series of the preferred
stock are to be redeemed, whether by mandatory or optional redemption, the
number of shares to be redeemed will be determined by lot or pro rata (subject
to rounding to avoid fractional shares) as may be determined by us or by any
other method as may be determined by the company in its sole discretion to
be
equitable. From and after the redemption date (unless default shall be made
by
the company in providing for the payment of the redemption price plus
accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any), dividends shall cease to accumulate
on the shares of the preferred stock called for redemption and all rights of
the
holders thereof (except the right to receive the redemption price plus
accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any) shall cease.
So
long
as any dividends on shares of any series of the preferred stock or any other
series of preferred stock of the company ranking on a parity as to dividends
and
distribution of assets with such series of the preferred stock are in arrears,
no shares of any such series of the preferred stock or such other series of
preferred stock of the company will be redeemed (whether by mandatory or
optional redemption) unless all such shares are simultaneously redeemed, and
we
will not purchase or otherwise acquire any such shares; provided, however,
that
the foregoing will not prevent the purchase or acquisition of such shares
pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders
of
all such shares outstanding.
Conversion
Rights
The
terms
and conditions, if any, upon which shares of any series of preferred stock
are
convertible into common stock will be set forth in the applicable prospectus
supplement relating thereto. Such terms will include the number of shares of
common stock into which the preferred stock is convertible, the conversion
price
(or manner of calculation thereof), the conversion period, provisions as to
whether conversion will be at the option of the holders of preferred stock
or
the company, the events requiring an adjustment of the conversion price and
provisions affecting conversion.
Voting
Rights
Except
as
indicated below or in a prospectus supplement relating to a particular series
of
the preferred stock, or except as required by applicable law, the holders of
the
preferred stock will not be entitled to vote for any purpose.
So
long
as any shares of the preferred stock of a series remain outstanding, the consent
or the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the votes entitled
to
be cast with respect to the then outstanding shares of such series of the
preferred stock together with any “parity preferred” (as defined below), voting
as one class, either expressed in writing or at a meeting called for that
purpose, will be necessary (i) to permit, effect or validate the
authorization, or any increase in the authorized amount, of any class or series
of shares of the company ranking prior to the preferred stock of such series
as
to dividends, and (ii) to repeal, amend or otherwise change any of the
provisions applicable to the preferred stock of such series in any manner which
adversely affects the powers, preferences, voting power or other rights or
privileges of such series of the preferred stock. In case any series of the
preferred stock would be so affected by any such action referred to in
clause (ii) above in a different manner than one or more series of the
parity preferred then outstanding, the holders of shares of the preferred stock
of such series, together with any series of the parity preferred which will
be
similarly affected, will be entitled to vote as a class, and the company will
not take such action without the consent or affirmative vote, as above provided,
of at least 80% of the total number of votes entitled to be cast with respect
to
each such series of the preferred stock and the parity preferred, then
outstanding, in lieu of the consent or affirmative vote hereinabove otherwise
required.
With
respect to any matter as to which the preferred stock of any series is entitled
to vote, holders of the preferred stock of such series and any other series
of
preferred stock of the company ranking on a parity with such series of the
preferred stock as to dividends and distributions of assets and which by its
terms provides for similar voting rights (referred to herein as the “parity
preferred”) will be entitled to cast the number of votes set forth in the
prospectus supplement with respect to that series of preferred stock. As a
result of the provisions described in the preceding paragraph requiring the
holders of shares of a series of the preferred stock to vote together as a
class
with the holders of shares of one or more series of parity preferred, it is
possible that the holders of such shares of parity preferred could approve
action that would adversely affect such series of preferred stock, including
the
creation of a class of capital stock ranking prior to such series of preferred
stock as to dividends, voting or distributions of assets.
80
The
foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when
the
act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be
effected, all outstanding shares of the preferred stock shall have been redeemed
or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in
trust
to effect such redemption.
Redemption
and Business Combination Provisions
If
our
Board of Directors is, at any time and in good faith, of the opinion that actual
or constructive ownership of at least 9.9% or more of the value of our
outstanding capital stock has or may become concentrated in the hands of one
owner, our board of directors will have the power:
·
|
by
means deemed equitable by it, to call for the purchase from any of
our
stockholders a number of voting shares sufficient, in the opinion
of our
board of directors, to maintain or bring the actual or constructive
ownership of such owner to a level of no more than 9.9% of the value
of
our outstanding capital stock; and
|
·
|
to
refuse to transfer or issue voting shares of our capital stock to
any
person whose acquisition of such voting shares would, in the opinion
of
our board of directors, result in the actual or constructive ownership
by
that person of more than 9.9% of the value of our outstanding capital
stock.
|
Further,
any transfer of shares, options, warrants, or other securities convertible
into
voting shares that would create a beneficial owner of more than 9.9% of the
value of our outstanding capital stock will be deemed void ab initio and the
intended transferee will be deemed never to have had an interest therein.
Subject to the rights of the preferred stock described below, the purchase
price
for any voting shares of our capital stock so redeemed will be equal to the
fair
market value of the shares reflected in the closing sales prices for the shares,
if then listed on a national securities exchange, or the average of the closing
sales prices for the shares if then listed on more than one national securities
exchange, or if the shares are not then listed on a national securities
exchange, the latest bid quotation for the shares if then traded
over-the-counter, on the last business day immediately preceding the day on
which we send notices of such acquisitions, or, if no such closing sales prices
or quotations are available, then the purchase price shall be equal to the
net
asset value of such stock as determined by our Board of Directors in accordance
with the provisions of applicable law. The purchase price for shares of
Series D preferred stock will be equal to the fair market value of the
shares reflected in the closing sales price for the shares, if then listed
on a
national securities exchange, or if the shares are not then listed on a national
securities exchange, the purchase price will be equal to the liquidation
preference of such shares of Series D preferred stock. From and after the
date fixed for purchase by our board of directors, the holder of any shares
so
called for purchase will cease to be entitled to distributions, voting rights
and other benefits with respect to such shares, except the right to payment
of
the purchase price for the shares.
Our
articles of incorporation require that, except in certain circumstances,
business combinations between us and a beneficial holder of 10% or more of
our
outstanding voting stock, a related person, be approved by the affirmative
vote
of at least 80% of our outstanding voting shares.
A
“business combination” is defined in our articles of incorporation
as:
·
|
any
merger or consolidation of our company with or into a related
person;
|
·
|
any
sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition, including without
limitation a mortgage or any other security device, of all or any
“substantial part,” as defined below, of our assets including, without
limitation, any voting securities of a subsidiary to a related
person;
|
·
|
any
merger or consolidation of a related person with or into our
company;
|
·
|
any
sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of all or any
substantial part of the assets of a related person to our
company;
|
81
·
|
the
issuance of any securities (other than by way of pro rata distribution
to
all stockholders) of our company to a related person;
and
|
·
|
any
agreement, contract or other arrangement providing for any of the
transactions described in the definition of business
combination.
|
The
term
“substantial part” is defined as more than 10% of the book value of our total
assets as of the end of our most recent fiscal year ending prior to the time
the
determination is being made.
The
80%
voting requirement described above will not be applicable if (i) our board
of directors has unanimously approved in advance the acquisition of our stock
that caused a related person to become a related person, or (ii) the
business combination is solely between us and a wholly owned subsidiary.
Under
the
terms of our articles of incorporation, as amended, our Board of Directors
is
classified into three classes. Each class of directors serves for a term of
three years, with one class being elected each year.
The
foregoing provisions of the articles of incorporation and certain other matters
may not be amended without the affirmative vote of at least 80% of our
outstanding voting shares.
The
foregoing provisions may have the effect of discouraging unilateral tender
offers or other takeover proposals which certain stockholders might deem in
their interests or in which they might receive a substantial premium. Our Board
of Directors’ authority to issue and establish the terms of currently authorized
preferred stock, without stockholder approval, may also have the effect of
discouraging takeover attempts. The provisions could also have the effect of
insulating current management against the possibility of removal and could,
by
possibly reducing temporary fluctuations in market price caused by accumulation
of shares, deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell at a temporarily higher
market price. However, our board of directors believes that inclusion of the
business combination provisions in our articles of incorporation may help assure
fair treatment of stockholders and preserve our assets.
The
foregoing summary of certain provisions of our articles of incorporation does
not purport to be complete or to give effect to provisions of statutory or
common law. The foregoing summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety
by reference to, the provisions of applicable law and the articles of
incorporation, a copy of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to
the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Stockholder
Rights Plan
On
May 12, 1999, our Board of Directors authorized the adoption of a
stockholder rights plan. The plan is designed to require a person or group
seeking to gain control of our company to offer a fair price to all of our
stockholders. The rights plan will not interfere with any merger, acquisition
or
business combination that our board of directors finds is in our best interest
and the best interests of our stockholders.
In
connection with the adoption of the stockholder rights plan, our Board of
Directors declared a dividend distribution of one right for each common share
outstanding on May 24, 1999. The stockholder protection rights will not
become exercisable unless a person acquires 10% or more of our common stock,
or
begins a tender offer that would result in the person owning 10% or more of
our
common stock. At that time, each stockholder protection right would entitle
each
stockholder other than the person who triggered the rights plan to purchase
either our common stock or stock of an acquiring entity at a discount to the
then market price. The plan was not adopted in response to any specific attempt
to acquire control of our company.
Debt
Securities
The
terms
of any debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement will be as described
in such prospectus supplement, and as provided herein to the extent not modified
in the prospectus supplement. Debt securities may be issued from time to time
in
series under an Indenture, or the Indenture, to be entered into between the
company and a trustee to be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement,
or the Trustee. As used under this
caption, unless the context otherwise requires, offered debt securities shall
mean the debt securities offered by this prospectus and the accompanying
prospectus supplement. The statements under this caption are brief summaries
of
certain provisions contained in the Indenture, do not purport to be complete
and
are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Indenture, including the
definition therein of certain terms, a copy of which is incorporated by
reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part. The following sets forth certain general terms and provisions of
the
debt securities. Further terms of the offered debt securities will be set forth
in the prospectus supplement.
82
General
The
Indenture provides for the issuance of debt securities in series, and does
not
limit the principal amount of debt securities which may be issued
thereunder.
Reference
is made to the prospectus supplement for the following terms of the offered
debt
securities:
·
|
the
specific title of the offered debt
securities;
|
·
|
the
aggregate principal amount of the offered debt
securities;
|
·
|
the
percentage of the principal amount at which the offered debt securities
will be issued;
|
·
|
the
date on which the offered debt securities will
mature;
|
·
|
the
rate or rates per annum or the method for determining such rate or
rates,
if any, at which the offered debt securities will bear
interest;
|
·
|
the
times at which any such interest will be
payable;
|
·
|
any
provisions relating to optional or mandatory redemption of the offered
debt securities at the option of the company or pursuant to sinking
fund
or analogous provisions;
|
·
|
the
denominations in which the offered debt securities are authorized
to be
issued if other than $100,000;
|
·
|
any
provisions relating to the conversion or exchange of the offered
debt
securities into common stock or into debt securities of another
series;
|
·
|
the
portion of the principal amount, if less than the principal amount,
payable on acceleration;
|
·
|
the
place or places at which the company will make payments of principal
(and
premiums, if any) and interest, if any, and the method of
payment;
|
·
|
whether
the offered debt securities will be issued in whole or in part in
global
form;
|
·
|
any
additional covenants and events of default and the remedies with
respect
thereto not currently set forth in the
Indenture;
|
·
|
the
identity of the Trustee for the debt securities, and if not the Trustee,
the identity of each paying agent and the debt securities
Registrar;
|
·
|
the
currency or currencies other than United States Dollars in which
any
series of debt securities will be issued;
and
|
·
|
any
other specific terms of the offered debt
securities.
|
83
One
or
more series of the debt securities may be issued as discounted debt securities
(bearing no interest or bearing interest at a rate which at the time of issuance
is below market rates) to be sold at a substantial discount below their stated
principal amount. Tax and other special considerations applicable to any such
discounted debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement
relating thereto.
Status
of Debt Securities
The
status and ranking of the debt securities will be as set forth in the prospectus
supplement. Except as otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the
debt
securities will be unsecured obligations of the company ranking on a parity
with
all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
Conversion
Rights
The
terms, if any, on which debt securities of a series may be exchanged for or
converted into shares of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities of
another series will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating thereto.
To protect the company’s status as a REIT, a beneficial holder may not convert
any debt security, and such debt security shall not be convertible by any
holder, if as a result of such conversion any person would then be deemed to
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 9.9% or more of our shares of common
stock.
Absence
of Restrictive Covenants
Except
as
noted below under “Dividends, Distributions and Acquisitions of Capital Stock,”
the company is not restricted by the Indenture from paying dividends or from
incurring, assuming or becoming liable for any type of debt or other obligations
or from creating liens on its property for any purpose. The Indenture does
not
require the maintenance of any financial ratios or specified levels of net
worth
or liquidity. Except as may be set forth in the prospectus supplement, there
are
no provisions of the Indenture which afford holders of the debt securities
protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction involving the
company.
Optional
Redemption
The
debt
securities will be subject to redemption, in whole or from time to time in
part,
at any time for certain reasons intended to protect the company’s status as a
REIT, at our option in the manner specified in the Indenture at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount, premium, if any, plus interest
accrued to the date of redemption. The Indenture does not contain any provision
requiring the company to repurchase the debt securities at the option of the
holders thereof in the event of a leveraged buyout, recapitalization or similar
restructuring of our company.
Dividends,
Distributions and Acquisitions of Capital Stock
The
Indenture provides that we will not (i) declare or pay any dividend or make
any distribution on its capital stock or to holders of its capital stock (other
than dividends or distributions payable in its capital stock or other than
as
the company determines is necessary to maintain its status as a REIT), or
(ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any of its
capital stock, or any warrants, rights or options or other securities to
purchase or acquire any shares of its capital stock (other than the debt
securities) or permit any subsidiary to do so, if at the time of such action
an
event of default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing
or
would exist immediately after giving effect to such action.
Events
of Default
An
event
of default with respect to debt securities of any series is defined in the
Indenture as being:
·
|
failure
to pay principal of or any premium on any debt security of that series
when due;
|
·
|
failure
to pay any interest on any debt security of that series when due,
continued for 30 days;
|
84
·
|
failure
to deposit any sinking fund payment when due, in respect of any debt
security of that series;
|
·
|
failure
to perform any other covenant of the company in the Indenture (other
than
a covenant included in the Indenture solely for the benefit of one
or more
series of debt securities other than that series), continued for
60 days after written notice as provided in the
Indenture;
|
·
|
certain
events of bankruptcy, insolvency, conservatorship, receivership or
reorganization; and
|
·
|
any
other event of default provided with respect to the debt securities
of
that series.
|
If
an
event of default with respect to the outstanding debt securities of any series
occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25%
in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series
may
declare the principal amount (or, if the debt securities of that series are
original issue discount debt securities, such portion of the principal amount
as
may be specified in the terms of that series) of all the outstanding debt
securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. At any time after
the declaration of acceleration with respect to the debt securities of any
series has been made, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration
has
been obtained, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding debt securities of that series may, under certain circumstances,
rescind and annul such acceleration.
The
Indenture provides that, subject to the duty of the Trustee during default
to
act with the required standard of care, the Trustee will be under no obligation
to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request
or
direction of any of the holders, unless such holders shall have offered to
the
Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to such provisions for the indemnification
of the Trustee and subject to certain limitations, the holders of a majority
in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series
will
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that
series.
The
company is required to furnish to the Trustee annually a statement as to the
performance by the company of certain of its obligations under the Indenture
and
as to any default in such performance.
Modifications
and Waiver
Modifications
and amendments of the Indenture may be made by the company and the Trustee
without the consent of any holders to, among other things,
·
|
evidence
the succession of another corporation to the
company;
|
·
|
add
to the covenants of our company or surrender any right or power conferred
upon us;
|
·
|
establish
the form or terms of debt securities, including any subordination
provisions;
|
·
|
cure
any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision which may be defective
or inconsistent or make any other provisions with respect to matters
or
questions arising under the Indenture, provided that such action
does not
adversely affect the interests of the holders of debt securities
of any
series in any material respect;
|
·
|
to
add to, delete, or revise conditions, limitations and restrictions
on the
authorized amounts, terms or purpose of debt securities, as set forth
in
the Indenture; or
|
·
|
evidence
and provide for a successor
Trustee.
|
85
Modifications
and amendments of the Indenture may be made by the company and the Trustee
with
the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the
outstanding debt securities of each series affected
by such modification or amendment; provided, however, that no such modification
or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt
security affected thereby:
·
|
change
the stated maturity date of the principal of, or any installment
of
principal of or interest, if any, on any debt
security;
|
·
|
reduce
the principal amount of, or premium or interest if any, on any debt
security;
|
·
|
reduce
the amount of principal of an original issue discount debt security
payable upon acceleration of the maturity
thereof;
|
·
|
change
the currency of payment of the principal of, or premium or interest,
if
any, on any debt security;
|
·
|
impair
the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on
or with
respect to any debt security;
|
·
|
modify
the conversion provisions, if any, of any debt security in a manner
adverse to the holder of that debt security;
or
|
·
|
reduce
the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding debt security
of any
series, the consent of whose holders is required for modification
or
amendment of that Indenture or for waiver of compliance with certain
provisions of that Indenture or for waiver of certain
defaults.
|
The
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt
security of each series may, on behalf of all holders of the debt securities
of
that series, waive, insofar as that series is concerned, compliance by us with
certain restrictive provisions of the Indenture. The holders of a majority
in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series
may, on behalf of all holders of the debt securities of that series, waive
any
past default under the Indenture with respect to the debt securities of that
series, except a default in the payment of principal or premium or interest,
if
any, or a default in respect of a covenant or provision which under the terms
of
the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder
of
each outstanding debt security of the series affected.
Consolidation,
Merger and Sale of Assets
The
Indenture provides that the company, without the consent of the holders of
any
of the debt securities, may consolidate or merge with or into or transfer its
assets substantially as an entirety to, any entity organized under the laws
of
the United States or any state, provided that the successor entity assumes
our
obligations under the Indenture, that after giving effect to the transaction
no
event of default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, would
become an event of default, shall have occurred and be continuing, and that
certain other conditions are met.
Global
Securities
The
debt
securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in global form, or
the
Global Securities. Except as set forth in a prospectus supplement, the terms
and
provisions with respect to any Global Securities will be as set forth in this
section captioned “Global Securities.” The Global Securities will be deposited
with a depositary, or the Depositary, or with a nominee for a Depositary,
identified in the prospectus supplement. In such case, one or more Global
Securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal
to
the portion of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities
of
the series to be represented by such Global Security or Securities. Unless
and
until it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive
form, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary for such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary or by a
nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such
Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such
Depositary or a nominee of such successor.
86
The
specific material terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any
portion of a series of debt securities to be represented by a Global Security
will be described in the prospectus supplement. The company anticipates that
the
following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.
Upon
the
issuance of a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Security will
credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective
principal amounts of the debt securities represented by such Global Security
to
the accounts of persons that have accounts with such Depositary, or the
participants. The accounts to be credited shall be designated by any
underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of such debt
securities. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be
limited to participants or persons that may hold interests through participants.
Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Security will be shown on,
and
the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained
by the Depositary for such Global Security (with respect to interests of
participants) or by participants or persons that hold through participants
(with
respect to interests of persons other than participants). So long as the
Depositary for a Global Security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of
such Global Security, such Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be,
will
be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by
such Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture; provided, however,
that for the purposes of obtaining any consents or directions required to be
given by the holders of the debt securities, our company, the Trustee and its
agents will treat a person as the holder of such principal amount of debt
securities as specified in a written statement of the Depositary. Except as
set
forth herein or otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, owners of
beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have the
debt
securities represented by such Global Security registered in their names, will
not receive physical delivery of such debt securities in definitive form and
will not be considered the registered owners or holders thereof under the
Indenture, but the beneficial owners and holders only.
Principal,
premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities represented by a
Global Security registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee will
be
made to such Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered
owner of such Global Security. None of the company, the Trustee or any Paying
Agent for such debt securities will have any responsibility or liability for
any
aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial
ownership interests in such Global Security or for maintaining, supervising
or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests.
We
expect
that the Depositary for any debt securities represented by a Global Security,
upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will
immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate
to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Global
Security as shown on the records of such Depositary. We also expect that
payments by participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary
practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of
customers registered in “street names” and will be the responsibility of such
participants.
If
the
Depositary for any debt securities represented by a Global Security is at any
time unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary and a successor Depositary
is
not appointed by the company within 90 days, we will issue such debt
securities in definitive form in exchange for such Global Security. In addition,
we may at any time and in our sole discretion determine not to have any of
the
debt securities of a series represented by one or more Global Securities and,
in
such event, will issue debt securities of such series in definitive form in
exchange for all of the Global Security or securities representing such debt
securities.
The
laws
of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical
delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such laws may impair the ability
to transfer beneficial interests in debt securities represented by Global
Securities.
Securities
Warrants
The
terms
of any securities warrants offered by any prospectus supplement will be as
described in such prospectus supplement, and as provided herein to the extent
not modified in the prospectus supplement. The company may issue securities
warrants for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities.
securities warrants may be issued independently or together with common stock,
preferred stock or debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement and
may
be attached to or separate from such common stock, preferred stock, or debt
securities. Each series of securities warrants will be issued under a separate
warrant agreement, or a Securities
Warrant Agreement, to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company,
as
securities warrant agent, all as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating
to the particular issue of offered securities warrants. The securities warrant
agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the securities warrants
of
such series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or
trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of securities warrants.
The
following summaries of certain provisions of the Securities Warrant Agreement
and securities warrants do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and
are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the
Securities Warrant Agreement and the securities warrants relating to each series
of securities warrants which will be filed with the SEC and incorporated by
reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part at or prior to the time of the issuance of such series of securities
warrants.

Securities
warrant certificates may be exchanged for new securities warrant certificates
of
different denominations, may (if in registered form) be presented for
registration of transfer, and may be exercised at the corporate trust office
of
the securities warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable
prospectus supplement. Prior to the exercise of any securities warrant to
purchase debt securities, holders of such securities warrants will not have
any
of the rights of holders of the debt securities purchasable upon such exercise,
including the right to receive payments of principal or premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on such debt securities or to enforce covenants in the
applicable indenture. Prior to the exercise of any securities warrants to
purchase common stock or preferred stock, holders of such securities warrants
will not have any rights of holders of such common stock or preferred stock,
including the right to receive payments of dividends, if any, on such common
stock or preferred stock, or to exercise any applicable right to
vote.
Exercise
of Securities Warrants
Each
securities warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase a number of
shares of common stock, preferred stock or such principal amount of debt
securities, as the case may be, at such exercise price as shall in each case
be
set forth in, or calculable from, the prospectus supplement relating to the
offered securities warrants. After the close of business on the Expiration
Date
(or such later date to which such Expiration Date may be extended by the
company), unexercised securities warrants will become void.
Securities
warrants may be exercised by delivering to the securities warrant agent payment
as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement of the amount required
to
purchase the common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, as the case
may
be, purchasable upon such exercise together with certain information set forth
on the reverse side of the securities warrant certificate. Securities warrants
will be deemed to have been exercised upon receipt of payment of the exercise
price, subject to the receipt within five (5) business days, of the
securities warrant certificate evidencing such securities warrants. Upon receipt
of such payment and the securities warrant certificate properly completed and
duly executed at the corporate trust office of the securities warrant agent
or
any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the company
will, as soon as practicable, issue and deliver the common stock, preferred
stock or debt securities, as the case may be, purchasable upon such exercise.
If
fewer than all of the securities warrants represented by such securities warrant
certificate are exercised, a new securities warrant certificate will be issued
for the remaining amount of securities warrants.
Amendments
and Supplements to Securities Warrant Agreement
The
Securities Warrant Agreements may be amended or supplemented without the consent
of the holders of the securities warrants issued thereunder to effect changes
that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the securities warrants and
that do not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the securities
warrants.
Common
Stock Warrant Adjustments
Unless
otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the exercise price
of, and the number of shares of common stock covered by a common stock warrant
are subject to adjustment in certain events, including:
·
|
payment
of a dividend on the common stock payable in capital stock and stock
splits, combinations or reclassifications of the common
stock;
|
·
|
issuance
to all holders of common stock of rights or warrants to subscribe
for or
purchase shares of common stock at less than their current market
price
(as defined in the Securities Warrant Agreement for such series of
common
stock warrants); and
|
89
·
|
certain
distributions of evidences of indebtedness or assets (including cash
dividends or distributions paid out of consolidated earnings or retained
earnings or dividends payable in common stock) or of subscription
rights
and warrants (excluding those referred to
above).
|
No
adjustment in the exercise price of and the number of shares of common stock
covered by a common stock warrant will be made for regular quarterly or other
periods of recurring cash dividends or distributions or for cash dividends
or
distributions to the extent paid from consolidated earnings or retained
earnings. No adjustment will be required unless such adjustment would require
a
change of at least 1% in the exercise price then in effect. Except as stated
above, the exercise price of, and the number of shares of common stock covered
by, a common stock warrant will not be adjusted for the issuance of common
stock
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock, or carrying
the right or option to purchase or otherwise acquire the foregoing in exchange
for cash, other property or services.
In
the
event of any (i) consolidation or merger of the company with or into any
entity (other than a consolidation or a merger that does not result in any
reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares
of
common stock), (ii) sale, transfer, lease or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the assets of the company, or (iii) reclassification,
capital reorganization or change of the common stock (other than solely a change
in par value or from par value to no par value), then any holder of a common
stock warrant will be entitled, on or after the occurrence of any such event,
to
receive on exercise of such common stock warrant the kind and amount of shares
of stock or other securities, cash or other property (or any combination
thereof) that the holder would have received had such holder exercised such
holder’s common stock warrant immediately prior to the occurrence of such event.
If the consideration to be received upon exercise of the common stock warrant
following any such event consists of common stock of the surviving entity,
then
from and after the occurrence of such event, the exercise price of such common
stock warrant will be subject to the same anti-dilution and other adjustments
described in the second preceding paragraph, applied as if such common stock
of
the surviving entity were common stock.
CERTAIN
FEDERAL
INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Consequences
of an Investment in Our Securities
The
following is a general summary of material U.S. federal income tax
considerations applicable to us, and to the purchasers of our securities and
our
election to be taxed as a REIT. It is not tax advice. The summary is not
intended to represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax
consequences applicable to a particular stockholder in view of any person’s
particular circumstances, nor is it intended to represent a detailed description
of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to stockholders subject
to special treatment under the federal income tax laws such as insurance
companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, securities
broker-dealers, investors in pass-through entities, expatriates and taxpayers
subject to alternative minimum taxation.
The
following discussion relating to an investment in our securities was based
on
consultations with Powell Goldstein LLP, our special counsel. In the opinion
of
Powell Goldstein LLP, the following discussion, to the extent it constitutes
matters of law or legal conclusions (assuming the facts, representations, and
assumptions upon which the discussion is based are accurate), accurately
represents the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to
purchasers of our securities. Powell Goldstein LLP has not rendered any opinion
regarding any effect of such issuance on purchasers of our securities. The
sections of the Code relating to the qualification and operation as a REIT
are
highly technical and complex. The following discussion sets forth the material
aspects of the Code sections that govern the federal income tax treatment of
a
REIT and its stockholders. The information in this section is based on the
Code;
current, temporary, and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the
Code; the legislative history of the Code; current administrative
interpretations and practices of the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS; and
court
decisions, in each case, as of the date of this prospectus. In addition, the
administrative interpretations and practices of the IRS include its practices
and policies as expressed in private letter rulings, which are not binding
on
the IRS except with respect to the particular taxpayers who requested and
received these rulings.
90
Taxation
of Omega
General.
We have
elected to be taxed as a REIT, under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code,
beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1992. Except with respect
to
the Advocat “related party tenant” issue described elsewhere in this prospectus,
we believe that we have been organized and operated in such a manner as to
qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code and we intend to continue to
operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we have operated
or
will be able to continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain
qualified as a REIT.
The
sections of the Code that govern the federal income tax treatment of a REIT
are
highly technical and complex. The following sets forth the material aspects
of
those sections. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the applicable
Code
provisions, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative
and
judicial interpretations thereof.
If
we
qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal
corporate income taxes on our net income that is currently distributed to
stockholders. However, we will be subject to federal income tax as follows:
First, we will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed REIT
taxable income, including undistributed net capital gains; provided, however,
that if we have a net capital gain, we will be taxed at regular corporate rates
on our undistributed REIT taxable income, computed without regard to net capital
gain and the deduction for capital gains dividends, plus a 35% tax on
undistributed net capital gain, if our tax as thus computed is less than the
tax
computed in the regular manner. Second, under certain circumstances, we may
be
subject to the “alternative minimum tax” on our items of tax preference that we
do not distribute or allocate to our stockholders. Third, if we have (i) net
income from the sale or other disposition of “foreclosure property,” which is
held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, or
(ii)
other nonqualifying income from foreclosure property, we will be subject to
tax
at the highest regular corporate rate on such income. Fourth, if we have net
income from prohibited transactions (which are, in general, certain sales or
other dispositions of property (other than foreclosure property) held primarily
for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business by us, (i.e., when
we
are acting as a dealer)), such income will be subject to a 100% tax. Fifth,
if
we should fail to satisfy the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income
test
(as discussed below), but have nonetheless maintained our qualification as
a
REIT because certain other requirements have been met, we will be subject to
a
100% tax on an amount equal to (a) the gross income attributable to the greater
of the amount by which we fail the 75% or 95% test, multiplied by (b) a fraction
intended to reflect our profitability. Sixth, if we should fail to distribute
by
the end of each year at least the sum of (i) 85% of our REIT ordinary income
for
such year, (ii) 95% of our REIT capital gain net income for such year, and
(iii)
any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, we will be subject to
a 4%
excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the amounts actually
distributed. Seventh, we will be subject to a 100% excise tax on transactions
with a taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, that are not conducted on an
arm’s-length basis. Eighth, if we acquire any asset, which is defined as a
“built-in gain asset” from a C corporation that is not a REIT (i.e., generally a
corporation subject to full corporate-level tax) in a transaction in which
the
basis of the built-in gain asset in our hands is determined by reference to
the
basis of the asset (or any other property) in the hands of the C corporation,
and we recognize gain on the disposition of such asset during the 10-year
period, which is defined as the “recognition period,” beginning on the date on
which such asset was acquired by us, then, to the extent of the built-in gain
(i.e., the excess of (a) the fair market value of such asset on the date such
asset was acquired by us over (b) our adjusted basis in such asset on such
date), our recognized gain will be subject to tax at the highest regular
corporate rate. The results described above with respect to the recognition
of
built-in gain assume that we will not make an election pursuant to Treasury
Regulations Section 1.337(d)-7(c)(5).
Requirements
for qualification.
The
Code
defines a REIT as a corporation, trust or association: (1) which is managed
by
one or more trustees or directors; (2) the beneficial ownership of which is
evidenced by transferable shares, or by transferable certificates of beneficial
interest; (3) which would be
taxable as a domestic corporation, but for Sections 856 through 859 of the
Code;
(4) which is neither a financial institution nor an insurance company subject
to
the provisions of the Code; (5) the beneficial ownership of which is held by
100
or more persons; (6) during the last half year of each taxable year not more
than 50% in value of the outstanding stock of which is owned, actually or
constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include
certain entities); and (7) which meets certain other tests, described below,
regarding the nature of its income and assets and the amount of its annual
distributions to stockholders. The Code provides that conditions (1) to (4),
inclusive, must be met during the entire taxable year and that condition (5)
must be met during at least 335 days of a taxable year of twelve months, or
during
a
proportionate part of a taxable year of less than twelve months. For purposes
of
conditions (5) and (6), pension funds and certain other tax-exempt entities
are
treated as individuals, subject to a “look-through” exception in the case of
condition (6).
91
Income
tests.
In order
to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we annually must satisfy two gross
income requirements. First, at least 75% of our gross income (excluding gross
income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year must be derived
directly or indirectly from investments relating to real property or mortgages
on real property (including generally “rents from real property,” interest on
mortgages on real property and gains on sale of real property and real property
mortgages, other than property described in Section 1221 of the Code) and income
derived from certain types of temporary investments. Second, at least 95% of
our
gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each
taxable year must be derived from such real property investments, dividends,
interest and gain from the sale or disposition of stock or securities other
than
property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business.
Rents
received by us will qualify as “rents from real property” in satisfying the
gross income requirements for a REIT described above only if several conditions
are met. First, the amount of the rent must not be based in whole or in part
on
the income or profits of any person. However, any amount received or accrued
generally will not be excluded from the term “rents from real property” solely
by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or
sales. Second, the Code provides that rents received from a tenant will not
qualify as “rents from real property” in satisfying the gross income tests if
we, or an owner (actually or constructively) of 10% or more of the value of
our
stock, actually or constructively owns 10% or more of such tenant, which is
defined as a related party tenant. Third, if rent attributable to personal
property, leased in connection with a lease of real property, is greater than
15% of the total rent received under the lease, then the portion of rent
attributable to such personal property will not qualify as “rents from real
property.” Finally, for rents received to qualify as “rents from real property,”
we generally must not operate or manage the property or furnish or render
services to the tenants of such property, other than through an independent
contractor from which we derive no revenue. We, however, directly perform
certain services that are “usually or customarily rendered” in connection with
the rental of space for occupancy only and are not otherwise considered
“rendered to the occupant” of the property. In addition, we may provide a
minimal amount of “non-customary” services to the tenants of a property, other
than through an independent contractor, as long as our income from the services
does not exceed 1% of our income from the related property. Furthermore, we
may
own up to 100% of the stock of a taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, which may
provide customary and non-customary services to our tenants without tainting
our
rental income from the related properties. For our tax years beginning after
2004, rents for customary services performed by a TRS or that are received
from
a TRS and are described in Code Section 512(b)(3) no longer meet the 100% excise
tax safe harbor. Instead, such payments avoid the excise tax if we pay the
TRS
at least 150% of its direct cost of furnishing such services.
The
term
“interest” generally does not include any amount received or accrued (directly
or indirectly) if the determination of such amount depends in whole or in part
on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount received or accrued
generally will not be excluded from the term “interest” solely by reason of
being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or sales.
In
addition, an amount that is based on the income or profits of a debtor will
be
qualifying interest income as long as the debtor derives substantially all
of
its income from the real property securing the debt from leasing substantially
all of its interest in the property, but only to the extent that the amounts
received by the debtor would be qualifying “rents from real property” if
received directly by a REIT.
If
a loan
contains a provision that entitles us to a percentage of the borrower’s gain
upon the sale of the real property securing the loan or a percentage of the
appreciation in the property’s value as of a specific date, income attributable
to that loan provision will be treated as gain from the sale of the property
securing the loan, which generally is qualifying income for purposes of both
gross income tests.
Interest
on debt secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property
generally is qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test.
However, if the highest principal amount of a loan outstanding during a taxable
year exceeds the fair market value of the real property securing the loan as
of
the date we agreed to originate or acquire the loan, a portion of the interest
income from such loan will not be qualifying income for purposes of the 75%
gross income test, but will be qualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross
income
test. The portion of the interest income that will not be qualifying income
for
purposes of the 75% gross income test will be equal to the portion of the
principal amount of the loan that is not secured by real property.
92
Prohibited
transactions.
We will
incur a 100% tax on the net income derived from any sale or other disposition
of
property, other than foreclosure property, that we hold primarily for sale
to
customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. We believe that none
of
our assets is primarily held for sale to customers and that a sale of any of
our
assets would not be in the ordinary course of our business. Whether a REIT
holds
an asset primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade
or
business depends, however, on the facts and circumstances in effect from time
to
time, including those related to a particular asset. Nevertheless, we will
attempt to comply with the terms of safe-harbor provisions in the federal income
tax laws prescribing when an asset sale will not be characterized as a
prohibited transaction. We cannot assure you, however, that we can comply with
the safe-harbor provisions or that we will avoid owning property that may be
characterized as property that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the
ordinary course of a trade or business.
Foreclosure
property.
We will
be subject to tax at the maximum corporate rate on any income from foreclosure
property, other than income that otherwise would be qualifying income for
purposes of the 75% gross income test, less expenses directly connected with
the
production of that income. However, gross income from foreclosure property
will
qualify for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests. Foreclosure property
is any real property, including interests in real property, and any personal
property incident to such real property:
·
|
that
is acquired by a REIT as the result of the REIT having bid on such
property at foreclosure, or having otherwise reduced such property
to
ownership or possession by agreement or process of law, after there
was a
default or default was imminent on a lease of such property or on
indebtedness that such property secured;
|
·
|
for
which the related loan or lease was acquired by the REIT at a time
when
the default was not imminent or anticipated; and
|
·
|
for
which the REIT makes a proper election to treat the property as
foreclosure property.
|
Property
generally ceases to be foreclosure property at the end of the third taxable
year
following the taxable year in which the REIT acquired the property, or longer
if
an extension is granted by the Secretary of the Treasury. This grace period
terminates and foreclosure property ceases to be foreclosure property on the
first day:
·
|
on
which a lease is entered into for the property that, by its terms,
will
give rise to income that does not qualify for purposes of the 75%
gross
income test, or any amount is received or accrued, directly or indirectly,
pursuant to a lease entered into on or after such day that will give
rise
to income that does not qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income
test;
|
·
|
on
which any construction takes place on the property, other than completion
of a building or any other improvement, where more than 10% of the
construction was completed before default became imminent; or
|
·
|
which
is more than 90 days after the day on which the REIT acquired the
property
and the property is used in a trade or business which is conducted
by the
REIT, other than through an independent contractor from whom the
REIT
itself does not derive or receive any income.
|
After
the
year 2000, the definition of foreclosure property was amended to include any
“qualified health care property,” as defined in Code Section 856(e)(6) acquired
by us as the result of the termination or expiration of a lease of such
property. We have operated qualified healthcare facilities acquired in this
manner for up to two years (or longer if an extension was granted). However,
we
do not currently own any property with respect to which we have made foreclosure
property elections. Properties that we had taken back in a foreclosure or
bankruptcy and operated for our own account were treated as foreclosure
properties for income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section
856(e). Gross income from foreclosure properties was classified as “good income”
for purposes of the annual REIT income tests upon making the election on the
tax
return. Once made, the income was classified
as “good” for a period of three years, or until the properties were no longer
operated for our own account. In all cases of foreclosure property, we utilized
an independent contractor to conduct day-to-day operations in order to maintain
REIT status. In certain cases we operated these facilities through a taxable
REIT subsidiary. For those properties operated through the taxable REIT
subsidiary, we utilized an eligible independent contractor to conduct day-to-day
operations to maintain REIT status. As a result of the foregoing, we do not
believe that our participation in the operation of nursing homes increased
the
risk that we will fail to qualify as a REIT. Through our 2005 taxable year,
we
had not paid any tax on our foreclosure property because those properties had
been producing losses. We cannot predict whether, in the future, our income
from
foreclosure property will be significant and/or whether we could be required
to
pay a significant amount of tax on that income.
93
Hedging
transactions. From
time
to time, we enter into hedging transactions with respect to one or more of
our
assets or liabilities. Our hedging activities may include entering into interest
rate swaps, caps, and floors, options to purchase these items, and futures
and
forward contracts. To the extent that we enter into an interest rate swap or
cap
contract, option, futures contract, forward rate agreement, or any similar
financial instrument to hedge our indebtedness incurred to acquire or carry
“real estate assets,” any periodic income or gain from the disposition of that
contract should be qualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross income test,
but not the 75% gross income test. Accordingly, our income and gain from our
interest rate swap agreements generally is qualifying income for purposes of
the
95% gross income test, but not the 75% gross income test. To the extent that
we
hedge with other types of financial instruments, or in other situations, it
is
not entirely clear how the income from those transactions will be treated for
purposes of the gross income tests. We have structured and intend to continue
to
structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our
status as a REIT. For tax years beginning after 2004, we will no longer include
income from hedging transactions in gross income (i.e., not included in either
the numerator or the denominator) for purposes of the 95% gross income test.
TRS
income.
A TRS
may earn income that would not be qualifying income if earned directly by the
parent REIT. Both the subsidiary and the REIT must jointly elect to treat the
subsidiary as a TRS. A
corporation of which a TRS directly or indirectly owns more than 35% of the
voting power or value of the stock will automatically be treated as a TRS.
Overall, no more than 20% of the value of a REIT’s assets may consist of
securities of one or more TRSs. However, a TRS does not include a corporation
which directly or indirectly (i) operates or manages a health care (or lodging)
facility, or (ii) provides to any other person (under a franchise, license,
or
otherwise) rights to any brand name under which a health care (or lodging)
facility is operated. A TRS will pay income tax at regular corporate rates
on
any income that it earns. In addition, the new rules limit the deductibility
of
interest paid or accrued by a TRS to its parent REIT to assure that the TRS
is
subject to an appropriate level of corporate taxation. The rules also impose
a
100% excise tax on transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT or the REIT’s
tenants that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. We have made a TRS
election with respect to Bayside Street II, Inc. That entity will pay corporate
income tax on its taxable income and its after-tax net income will be available
for distribution to us.
Failure
to satisfy income tests.
If we
fail to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95% gross income tests for any taxable
year, we may nevertheless qualify as a REIT for such year if we are entitled
to
relief under certain provisions of the Code. These relief provisions will be
generally available if our failure to meet such tests was due to reasonable
cause and not due to willful neglect, we attach a schedule of the sources of
our
income to our tax return, and any incorrect information on the schedule was
not
due to fraud with intent to evade tax. It is not possible, however, to state
whether in all circumstances we would be entitled to the benefit of these relief
provisions. Even if these relief provisions apply, we would incur a 100% tax
on
the gross income attributable to the greater of the amounts by which we fail
the
75% and 95% gross income tests, multiplied by a fraction intended to reflect
our
profitability and we would file a schedule with descriptions of each item of
gross income that caused the failure.
Asset
tests.
At the
close of each quarter of our taxable year, we must also satisfy the following
tests relating to the nature of our assets. First, at least 75% of the value
of
our total assets must be represented by real estate assets (including (i) our
allocable share of real estate assets held by partnerships in which we own
an
interest and (ii) stock or debt instruments held for not more than one year
purchased with the proceeds of a stock offering or long-term (at least five
years) debt offering of our company), cash, cash items and government
securities. Second, of our investments not included in the 75% asset class,
the
value of our interest in any one issuer’s securities may not exceed 5% of the
value of our total assets. Third, we may not own more than 10% of the voting
power or value of any one issuer’s outstanding securities. Fourth, no more than
20% of the value of our total assets may consist of the
securities of one or more TRSs. Fifth, no more than 25% of the value of our
total assets may consist of the securities of TRSs and other non-TRS taxable
subsidiaries and other assets that are not qualifying assets for purposes of
the
75% asset test.
94
For
purposes of the second and third asset tests the term “securities” does not
include our equity or debt securities of a qualified REIT subsidiary or TRS
or
our equity interest in any partnership, since we are deemed to own our
proportionate share of each asset of any partnership of which we are a partner.
Furthermore, for purposes of determining whether we own more than 10% of the
value of only one issuer’s outstanding securities, the term “securities” does
not include: (i) any loan to an individual or an estate; (ii) any Code Section
467 rental agreement; (iii) any obligation to pay rents from real property;
(iv)
certain government issued securities; (v) any security issued by another REIT;
and (vi) our debt securities in any partnership, not otherwise excepted under
(i) through (v) above, (A) to the extent of our interest as a partner in the
partnership or (B) if 75% of the partnership’s gross income is derived from
sources described in the 75% income test set forth above.
We
may
own up to 100% of the stock of one or more TRSs. However, overall, no more
than
20% of the value of our assets may consist of securities of one or more TRSs,
and no more than 25% of the value of our assets may consist of the securities
of
TRSs and other non-TRS taxable subsidiaries (including stock in non-REIT C
corporations) and other assets that are not qualifying assets for purposes
of
the 75% asset test. If the outstanding principal balance of a mortgage loan
exceeds the fair market value of the real property securing the loan, a portion
of such loan likely will not be a qualifying real estate asset under the federal
income tax laws. The nonqualifying portion of that mortgage loan will be equal
to the portion of the loan amount that exceeds the value of the associated
real
property.
After
initially meeting the asset tests at the close of any quarter, we will not
lose
our status as a REIT for failure to satisfy any of the asset tests at the end
of
a later quarter solely by reason of changes in asset values. If the failure
to
satisfy the asset tests results from an acquisition of securities or other
property during a quarter, the failure can be cured by disposition of sufficient
nonqualifying assets within 30 days after the close of that
quarter.
For
our
tax years beginning after 2004, subject to certain de
minimis
exceptions, we may avoid REIT disqualification in the event of certain failures
under the asset tests, provided that (i) we file a schedule with a description
of each asset that caused the failure, (ii) the failure was due to reasonable
cause and not willful neglect, (iii) we dispose of the assets within 6 months
after the last day of the quarter in which the identification of the failure
occurred (or the requirements of the rules are otherwise met within such
period), and (iv) we pay a tax on the failure equal to the greater of (A)
$50,000 per failure, and (B) the product of the net income generated by the
assets that caused the failure for the period beginning on the date of the
failure and ending on the date we dispose of the asset (or otherwise satisfy
the
requirements) multiplied by the highest applicable corporate tax rate.
Annual
distribution requirements.
In order
to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends (other than
capital gain dividends) to our stockholders in an amount at least equal to
(A)
the sum of (i) 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (computed without regard to the
dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain) and (ii) 90% of the net
income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (B) the sum of
certain items of noncash income. Such distributions must be paid in the taxable
year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if declared before
we timely file our tax return for such year and paid on or before the first
regular dividend payment after such declaration. In addition, such distributions
are required to be made pro rata, with no preference to any share of stock
as
compared with other shares of the same class, and with no preference to one
class of stock as compared with another class except to the extent that such
class is entitled to such a preference. To the extent that we do not distribute
all of our net capital gain or do distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%
of
our “REIT taxable income,” as adjusted, we will be subject to tax thereon at
regular ordinary and capital gain corporate tax rates.
Furthermore,
if we fail to distribute during a calendar year, or by the end of January
following the calendar year in the case of distributions with declaration and
record dates falling in the last three months of the calendar year, at least
the
sum of:
·
|
85%
of our REIT ordinary income for such year;
|
·
|
95%
of our REIT capital gain income for such year; and
|
·
|
any
undistributed taxable income from prior periods,
|
95
we
will
incur a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the excess of such required distribution
over the amounts we actually distribute. We may elect to retain and pay income
tax on the net long-term capital gain we receive in a taxable year. If we so
elect, we will be treated as having distributed any such retained amount for
purposes of the 4% excise tax described above. We have made, and we intend
to
continue to make, timely distributions sufficient to satisfy the annual
distribution requirements. We may also be entitled to pay and deduct deficiency
dividends in later years as a relief measure to correct errors in determining
our taxable income. Although we may be able to avoid income tax on amounts
distributed as deficiency dividends, we will be required to pay interest to
the
IRS based upon the amount of any deduction we take for deficiency
dividends.
The
availability to us of, among other things, depreciation deductions with respect
to our owned facilities depends upon the treatment by us as the owner of such
facilities for federal income tax purposes, and the classification of the leases
with respect to such facilities as “true leases” rather than financing
arrangements for federal income tax purposes. The questions of whether we are
the owner of such facilities and whether the leases are true leases for federal
tax purposes are essentially factual matters. We believe that we will be treated
as the owner of each of the facilities that we lease, and such leases will
be
treated as true leases for federal income tax purposes. However, no assurances
can be given that the IRS will not successfully challenge our status as the
owner of our facilities subject to leases, and the status of such leases as
true
leases, asserting that the purchase of the facilities by us and the leasing
of
such facilities merely constitute steps in secured financing transactions in
which the lessees are owners of the facilities and we are merely a secured
creditor. In such event, we would not be entitled to claim depreciation
deductions with respect to any of the affected facilities. As a result, we
might
fail to meet the 90% distribution requirement or, if such requirement is met,
we
might be subject to corporate income tax or the 4% excise tax.
Other
Failures.
We may
avoid disqualification in the event of a failure to meet certain requirements
for REIT qualification, other than the 95% and 75% gross income tests, the
rules
with respect to ownership of securities of more than 10% of a single issuer,
and
the new rules provided for failures of the asset tests, if the failures are
due
to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, and if the REIT pays a penalty
of
$50,000 for each such failure.
Failure
to Qualify
If
we
fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and the relief provisions do
not
apply, we will be subject to tax (including any applicable alternative minimum
tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distributions to
stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify will not be deductible
and
our failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce the cash available for
distribution by us to our stockholders. In addition, if we fail to qualify
as a
REIT, all distributions to stockholders will be taxable as ordinary income,
to
the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits, and, subject to
certain limitations of the Code, corporate distributees may be eligible for
the
dividends received deduction. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory
provisions, we would also be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four
taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. It is
not
possible to state whether in all circumstances we would be entitled to such
statutory relief. Failure to qualify could result in our incurring indebtedness
or liquidating investments in order to pay the resulting taxes.
Other
Tax Matters
We
own
and operate a number of properties through qualified REIT subsidiaries, or
QRSs.
The QRSs are treated as qualified REIT subsidiaries under the Code. Code Section
856(i) provides that a corporation which is a qualified REIT subsidiary shall
not be treated as a separate corporation, and all assets, liabilities, and
items
of income, deduction, and credit of a qualified REIT subsidiary shall be treated
as assets, liabilities and such items (as the case may be) of the REIT. Thus,
in
applying the tests for REIT qualification described in this prospectus under
the
heading “Taxation of Omega,” the QRSs will be ignored, and all assets,
liabilities and items of income, deduction, and credit of such QRSs will be
treated as our assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction, and
credit.
In
the
case of a REIT that is a partner in a partnership, the REIT is treated as owning
its proportionate share of the assets of the partnership and as earning its
allocable share of the gross income of the partnership for purposes of
the
applicable REIT qualification tests. Thus, our proportionate share of the
assets, liabilities, and items of income of any partnership, joint venture,
or
limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes in which we own an interest, directly or indirectly, will be
treated as our assets and gross income for purposes of applying the various
REIT
qualification requirements.
96
Taxation
of Stockholders
Taxation
of Domestic Stockholders. As
long
as we qualify as a REIT, if you are a taxable U.S. stockholder, distributions
made to you out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (and not
designated as capital gain dividends) will be taken into account by you as
ordinary income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction
for corporations or the special 15% tax rate applicable to individuals and
certain other taxpayers in the case of dividends paid by a regular C
corporation. However, to the extent that any of our income represents income
on
which we have paid tax at corporate income tax rates or dividend income from
a
regular C corporation, including dividend income from a TRS that we own, your
proportionate share of such dividend income will be eligible for such special
15% tax rate. Distributions that are designated as capital gain dividends will
be taxed as long-term capital gains (to the extent they do not exceed our actual
net capital gain for the taxable year) and eligible for the special 15% maximum
tax rate on capital gain income (unless such capital gain income is attributable
to unrecaptured Section 1250 gain, in which case the applicable maximum tax
rate
will be 25%, instead of 15%), without regard to the period for which you have
held our stock. However, if you are a corporation, you may be required to treat
up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary income. Further, if
we
designate a dividend as a capital gain dividend to you and you dispose of your
shares in a sale or exchange in which you recognize a loss, and have held those
shares for six (6) months or less, you will be required to treat the loss from
the sale of your shares as long-term (instead of short-term) capital loss to
the
extent of the of the dividend distributions you received from us that were
designated as capital gain distributions that were permitted to treat as
long-term capital gains.
Distributions
in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable
to
you to the extent that they do not exceed the adjusted basis of your shares,
but
rather will reduce the adjusted basis of those shares. To the extent that
distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits exceed
the adjusted basis of your shares, you will include the distributions in income
as long-term capital gain (or short-term capital gain if you have held the
shares for one year or less) assuming the shares are a capital asset in your
hands. In addition, any distribution declared by us in October, November or
December of any year payable to you as a stockholder of record on a specified
date in any of these months shall be treated as both paid by us and received
by
you on December 31 of that year, provided that the distribution is actually
paid by us during January of the following calendar year. You may not include
in
your individual income tax returns any of our net operating losses or capital
losses.
Backup
Withholding
Assuming
that you are a U.S. stockholder, we will report to you and the IRS the amount
of
distributions paid during each calendar year, and the amount of tax withheld,
if
any. Under the backup withholding rules, you may be subject to backup
withholding with respect to distributions paid unless you:
·
|
are
a corporation or come within certain other exempt categories and
when
required, demonstrate this fact; or
|
·
|
provide
a taxpayer identification number, certify as to no loss of exemption
from
backup withholding, and otherwise comply with applicable requirements
of
the backup withholding rules.
|
If
you do
not provide us with your correct taxpayer identification number, you may also
be
subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Any amount paid as backup withholding
will be creditable against your income tax liability. In addition, we may be
required to withhold a portion of capital gain distributions to you, if you
fail
to certify your nonforeign status to us. See “—Taxation of Stockholders—Taxation
of Foreign Stockholders.”
97
Treatment
of Tax-Exempt Stockholders. If
you
are a tax-exempt employee pension trust or other domestic tax-exempt
stockholder, our distributions to you generally will not constitute “unrelated
business taxable income,” or
UBTI,
unless you have borrowed to acquire or carry our common stock. However,
qualified trusts that hold more than 10% (by value) of certain REITs may
be
required to treat a certain percentage of that REIT’s distributions as UBTI.
This requirement will apply only if:
·
|
the
REIT would not qualify for federal income tax purposes but for the
application of a “look-through” exception to the “five or fewer”
requirement applicable to shares held by qualified trusts;
and
|
·
|
the
REIT is “predominantly held” by qualified
trusts.
|
A
REIT is
predominantly held if either:
·
|
a
single qualified trust holds more than 25% by value of the REIT interests;
or
|
·
|
one
or more qualified trusts, each owning more than 10% by value of the
REIT
interests, hold in the aggregate more than 50% by value of the REIT
interests.
|
The
percentage of any REIT dividend treated as UBTI is equal to the ratio of the
UBTI earned by the REIT (treating the REIT as if it were a qualified trust
and
therefore subject to tax on UBTI) to the total gross income (less certain
associated expenses) of the REIT.
A
de
minimis exception applies where the ratio set forth in the preceding sentence
is
less than 5% for any year. For those purposes, a qualified trust is any trust
described in section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and exempt from
tax under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The provisions
requiring qualified trusts to treat a portion of REIT distributions as UBTI
will
not apply if the REIT is able to satisfy the “five or fewer” requirement without
relying upon the “look-through” exception. The restrictions on ownership of our
common stock in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
will prevent application of the provisions treating a portion of REIT
distributions as UBTI to tax-exempt entities purchasing our common stock, absent
approval by our board of directors.
Taxation
of Foreign Stockholders. The
rules
governing U.S. federal income taxation of nonresident alien individuals, foreign
corporations, foreign partnerships and other foreign stockholders (collectively,
Non-U.S. Stockholders) are complex and no attempt will be made herein to provide
more than a summary of these rules. Prospective Non-U.S. Stockholders should
consult with their own tax advisors to determine the impact of federal, state
and local income tax laws with regard to an investment in shares, including
any
reporting requirements.
If
you
are a Non-U.S. Stockholder, the following discussion will apply to you.
Distributions that are not attributable to gain from our sales or exchanges
of
U.S. real property interests and not designated by us as capital gains dividends
will be treated as dividends of ordinary income to the extent that they are
made
out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. Such distributions
will
ordinarily be subject to a withholding tax equal to 30% of the gross amount
of
the distribution unless an applicable tax treaty reduces or eliminates that
tax.
However,
if income from the investment in the shares is treated as effectively connected
with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business, you generally will be subject
to
a tax at graduated rates, in the same manner as U.S. stockholders are taxed
with
respect to the distributions (and may also be subject to the 30% branch profits
tax if you are a foreign corporation). We expect to withhold U.S. income tax
at
the rate of 30% on the gross amount of any distributions made to you
unless:
·
|
a
lower treaty rate applies, you file an IRS Form W-8BEN with us and
other conditions are met; or
|
·
|
you
file an IRS Form W-8ECI with us claiming that the distribution is
effectively connected income, and other conditions are
met.
|
Distributions
in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be
taxable to you to the extent that the distributions do not exceed the adjusted
basis of your shares, but rather will reduce the adjusted basis of
the
shares. To the extent that distributions in excess of current accumulated
earnings and profits exceed the adjusted basis of your shares, these
distributions will give rise to tax liability if you would otherwise be subject
to tax on any gain from the sale or disposition of your shares in us, as
described below. If it cannot be determined at the time a distribution is made
whether or not the distribution will be in excess of current and accumulated
earnings and profits, the distributions will be subject to withholding at the
same rate as dividends. However, amounts thus withheld are refundable if it
is
subsequently determined that a distribution was, in fact, in excess of our
current and accumulated earnings and profits.
98
For
any
year in which we qualify as a REIT, distributions that are attributable to
gain
from our sales or exchanges of U.S. real property interests will be taxed to
you
under the provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of
1980,
or FIRPTA. Under FIRPTA, distributions attributable to gain from sales of U.S.
real property interests are taxed to you as if the gain were effectively
connected with a U.S. business. You would thus be taxed at the normal capital
gain rates applicable to U.S. stockholders (subject to applicable alternative
minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident
alien individuals). Also, distributions subject to FIRPTA may be subject to
a
30% branch profits tax in the hands of a foreign corporate stockholder not
entitled to a treaty exemption. We are required by applicable Treasury
Regulations to withhold 35% of any distribution that could be designated by
us
as a capital gains dividend. This amount is creditable against your FIRPTA
tax
liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any distribution
attributable to gain from a sale by us of U.S. real property interests, if
the
distribution is with respect to a class of our stock that is regularly traded
on
an established securities market, you do not own more than 5% of that class
of
stock at any time during the one-year period ending on the date of the
distribution, and we are a “domestically controlled REIT” as defined below, then
the distribution will be exempted from the application of the FIRPTA rules
and
the distribution will be subject to the withholding rules for ordinary income,
i.e.,
subject
to a 30% withholding tax unless the a Form W-8BEN has been filed (indicating
that a lower treaty rate applies) or a Form W-8ECI has been filed (indicating
that the distribution is effectively connected income).
Gain
recognized by you upon a sale of shares generally will not be taxed under FIRPTA
if we are a “domestically controlled REIT,” defined generally as a REIT in which
at all times during a specified testing period less than 50% in value of the
stock was held directly or indirectly by foreign persons. It is currently
anticipated that we will be a “domestically controlled REIT,” although there can
be no assurance that we will retain that status. If we are not “domestically
controlled,” gain recognized by you will continue to be exempt under FIRPTA if
you at no time owned more than five percent of our common stock. However, gain
not subject to FIRPTA will be taxable to you if:
·
|
investment
in the shares is effectively connected with your U.S. trade or business,
in which case you will be subject to the same treatment as U.S.
stockholders with respect to the gain;
or
|
·
|
you
are a nonresident alien individual who was present in the United
States
for more than 182 days during the taxable year and other applicable
requirements are met, in which case you will be subject to a 30%
tax on
your capital gains.
|
If
the
gain on the sale of shares were to be subject to taxation under FIRPTA, you
will
be subject to the same treatment as U.S. stockholders with respect to the gain
(subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum
tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals).
If
the
proceeds of a sale of shares by you are paid by or through a U.S. office of
a
broker, the payment is subject to information reporting and to backup
withholding unless you certify as to your name, address and non-U.S. status
or
otherwise establish an exemption. Generally, U.S. information reporting and
backup withholding will not apply to a payment of disposition proceeds if the
payment is made outside the U.S. through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker.
U.S. information reporting requirements (but not backup withholding) will apply,
however, to a payment of disposition proceeds outside the U.S. if:
·
|
the
payment is made through an office outside the U.S. of a broker that
is:
(a) a U.S. person; (b) a foreign person that derives 50% or more
of its gross income for certain periods from the conduct of a trade
or
business in the U.S.; or (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” for
U.S. federal income tax purposes;
and
|
99
·
|
the
broker fails to initiate documentary evidence that you are a Non-U.S.
Stockholder and that certain conditions are met or that you otherwise
are
entitled to an exemption.
|
Possible
Legislative or Other Actions Affecting Tax Consequences
Prospective
holders of our securities should recognize that the present federal income
tax
treatment of investment in our company may be modified by legislative, judicial
or administrative action at any time and that any of these actions may affect
investments and commitments previously made. The rules dealing with federal
income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the
legislative process and by the IRS and the Treasury Department, resulting in
revisions of regulations and revised interpretations of established concepts
as
well as statutory changes. Revisions in federal tax laws and interpretations
thereof could adversely affect the tax consequences of investment in our
company.
State
and Local Taxes
We
may be
and you may be subject to state or local taxes in other jurisdictions such
as
those in which we may be deemed to be engaged in activities or own property
or
other interests. The state and local tax treatment of us may not conform to
the
federal income tax consequences discussed above.
PLAN
OF
DISTRIBUTION
We
may
sell the securities to one or more underwriters for public offering and sale
by
them and may also sell the securities to investors directly or through agents.
We will name any underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of
securities in the applicable prospectus supplement. We have reserved the right
to sell or exchange securities directly to investors on our own behalf in those
jurisdictions where we are authorized to do so.
We
may
distribute the securities from time to time in one or more
transactions:
·
|
at
a fixed price or prices, which may be
changed;
|
·
|
at
market prices prevailing at the time of
sale;
|
·
|
at
prices related to such prevailing market prices;
or
|
·
|
at
negotiated prices.
|
We
may
also, from time to time, authorize dealers, acting as our agents, to offer
and
sell securities upon the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable
prospectus supplement. In connection with the sale of securities, we, or the
purchasers of securities for whom the underwriters may act as agents, may
compensate underwriters in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions.
Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers
may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions
from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they
may
act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent
will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities
as
a principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be
determined by the dealer.
When
securities are to be sold to underwriters, unless otherwise set forth in the
applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriters’ obligations to purchase
those securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent. If the
underwriters purchase any of the securities, they will be obligated to purchase
all of the securities.
We
will
describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we pay to
underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of securities, and any
discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating
dealers. Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of securities
may
be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by
them
and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to
be
underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements
to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against certain civil liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to
reimburse these persons for certain expenses.
100
To
facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the
offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise
affect the price of the securities. This may include over- allotments or short
sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in
the
offering of more securities than we sold to them. In these circumstances, these
persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases
in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In
addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities
by
bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty
bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the
offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in
connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions
may
be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above
that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may
be
discontinued at any time.
Certain
of the underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may engage in
transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of our
business.
USE
OF
PROCEEDS
Unless
otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the net proceeds
from the sale of the securities offered hereby will be used for the repayment
of
outstanding debt, to fund additional investments and for general corporate
purposes.

Report
of
Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
The
Board
of Directors and Shareholders
Omega
Healthcare Investors, Inc.
We
have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Omega Healthcare
Investors, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the
accompanying Index. These financial statements and schedules are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Omega Healthcare
Investors, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.
As
discussed in Note 1 and Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005
have been restated.

NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Omega
Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega”), a Maryland corporation, is a
self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”). From the date that we
commenced operations in 1992, we have invested primarily in income-producing
healthcare facilities, which include long-term care nursing homes, assisted
living facilities and rehabilitation hospitals. At December 31, 2005, we have
investments in 227 healthcare facilities located throughout the United
States.
Restated
Financial Data
We
have
restated certain historical results in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements to correct errors in previously reported amounts related to income
tax matters and certain debt and equity investments in Advocat Inc. (“Advocat”),
as well as to record certain straight-line rental income. See Note 15 – Restatement
of
Previously Issued Financial Statements and Note 16 – Summary of Quarterly
Results.
Consolidation
Our
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Omega and all direct
and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
We
have
one reportable segment consisting of investments in real estate. Our business
is
to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with
a
particular focus on skilled nursing facilities located in the United States.
Our
core portfolio consists of long-term lease and mortgage agreements. All of
our
leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all property
related expenses. Our mortgage revenue derives from fixed-rate mortgage loans,
which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and
personal property of the mortgagor. Substantially all depreciation expenses
reflected in the consolidated statement of operations relate to the ownership
of
our investment in real estate.
In
prior
years, we had a reportable segment relating to our portfolio of owned and
operated facilities that we acquired as a result of certain foreclosure
proceedings. However, owned and operated facilities are not our core business,
and thus we divested all of our owned and operated facilities. As of January
1,
2004, the divestment process had been sufficiently implemented such that our
holdings of owned and operated facilities were immaterial and thus no longer
constituted a separate reportable segment. As of December 31, 2004, we had
no
owned and operated facilities. In addition, we previously reported a segment
entitled “Corporate and Other” however, all of the items classified thereunder
are properly allocable to core operations and, as result, do not currently
constitute a separate reportable segment.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Real
Estate Investments and Depreciation
We
allocate the purchase price of properties to net tangible and identified
intangible assets acquired based on their fair values in accordance with the
provisions Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141,
Business
Combinations.
In
making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price,
we
utilize a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be
obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective
property and other market data. We also consider information obtained about
each
property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing
activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets
acquired. All costs of significant improvements, renovations and replacements
are capitalized. In addition, we capitalize leasehold improvements when certain
criteria are met, including when we supervise construction and will own the
improvement. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations
as they are incurred.

HEALTHCARE INVESTORS, INC.
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
Depreciation
is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging
from 20 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and three to 10 years for
furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold interests are amortized over the
shorter of useful life or term of the lease, with lives ranging from four to
seven years.
Asset
Impairment
Management
periodically, but not less than annually, evaluates
our real estate investments for impairment indicators, including the evaluation
of our assets’ useful lives. The judgment regarding the existence of impairment
indicators is based on factors such as, but not limited to, market conditions,
operator performance and legal structure. If indicators of impairment are
present, management evaluates the carrying value of the related real estate
investments in relation to the future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying
facilities. Provisions
for impairment losses related to long-lived assets are recognized when expected
future undiscounted cash flows are determined to be permanently less than the
carrying values of the assets. An adjustment is made to the net carrying value
of the leased properties and other long-lived assets for the excess of
historical cost over fair value.
The
fair
value of the real estate investment is determined by market research, which
includes valuing the property as a nursing home as well as other alternative
uses. All
impairments are taken as a period cost at that time, and depreciation is
adjusted going forward to reflect the new value assigned to the
asset.
If
we
decide to sell rental properties or land holdings, we evaluate the
recoverability of the carrying amounts of the assets. If the evaluation
indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from estimated net sales
proceeds, the property is written down to estimated fair value less costs to
sell. Our estimates of cash flows and fair values of the properties are based
on
current market conditions and consider matters such as rental rates and
occupancies for comparable properties, recent sales data for comparable
properties, and, where applicable, contracts or the results of negotiations
with
purchasers or prospective purchasers.
For
the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 we recognized impairment losses
of
$9.6 million, $0.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively, including amounts
classified within discontinued operations.
Loan
Impairment
Management,
periodically but not less than annually, evaluates our outstanding loans and
notes receivable. When management identifies potential loan impairment
indicators, such as non-payment under the loan documents, impairment of the
underlying collateral, financial difficulty of the operator or other
circumstances that may impair full execution of the loan documents, and
management believes these indicators are permanent, then the loan is written
down to the present value of the expected future cash flows. In cases where
expected future cash flows cannot be estimated, the loan is written down to
the
fair value of the collateral. The fair value of the loan is determined by market
research, which includes valuing the property as a nursing home as well as
other
alternative uses. We recorded loan impairments of $0.1 million, $0.0 million
and
$0.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.
In
accordance with FASB
Statement No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan and FASB
Statement No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan –
Income Recognition and Disclosures,
we
currently account for impaired loans using the cost-recovery method applying
cash received against the outstanding principal balance prior to recording
interest income (see Note 5 – Other Investment). At December 31, 2005 and 2004,
we had notes receivable totaling $1.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively,
which were determined to be impaired.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and
cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with
a
maturity date of three months or less when purchased. These investments are
stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable consists primarily of lease and mortgage interest payments. Amounts
recorded include estimated provisions for loss related to uncollectible accounts
and disputed items. On a monthly basis, we review the contractual payment versus
actual cash payment received and the contractual payment due date versus actual
receipt date. When management identifies delinquencies, a judgment is made
as to
the amount of provision, if any, that is needed. No allowances were recorded
for
the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
Recognizing
rental income on a straight-line basis results in recognized revenue exceeding
contractual amounts due from our tenants. Such cumulative excess amounts are
included in accounts receivable and were $13.8 million and $8.6 million, net
of
allowances, at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. See Note 15 –
Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements.
In
the
case of a lease recognized on a straight-line basis, we
will
generally provide an allowance for
straight-line accounts receivable when certain conditions or indicators of
adverse collectibility are present (e.g., lessee payment delinquencies,
bankruptcy indicators, etc.). At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the allowance
for
straight-line accounts receivable was $6.7 million and $6.5 million,
respectively.
Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities
Marketable
securities classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be
other-than-temporary on securities held as available-for-sale are included
in
investment income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method. If events or circumstances indicate that the fair value
of an investment has declined below its carrying value and we consider the
decline to be “other than temporary,” the investment is written down to fair
value and an impairment loss is recognized.
At
December 31, 2005, we had two marketable securities (i.e., preferred and common
shares of publicly traded companies). See Note 15 – Restatement
of
Previously Issued Financial Statements and Note 5 – Other
Investments.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,
during
the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded a $3.4 million provision for
impairment to write-down our 760,000 share investment in Sun Healthcare Group,
Inc. (“Sun”) common stock to its then current fair market value.
Our
investment in Advocat series B preferred stock is stated at fair value. We
record dividend and accretion income on the preferred stock based upon whether
the amount and timing of collections are both probable and reasonably estimable.
We recognize accretion income on a prospective basis using the effective
interest method to the redemption date of the security. The face value plus
the
value of the accrued dividends, which had previously been written down to zero
due to impairment, is being accreted into income ratably through the Omega
redemption date (September 30, 2007). The cumulative amount recognized as income
is limited to the fair market value of the preferred stock. The difference
between the fair market value of the preferred stock and the accretive value
of
the security is recorded as other comprehensive income on the balance
sheet.
Comprehensive
Income
SFAS
130,
Reporting
Comprehensive Income,
establishes guidelines for the reporting and display of comprehensive income
and
its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income
and all other non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity during a period
including unrealized gains and losses on equity securities classified as
available-for-sale and unrealized fair value adjustments on certain derivative
instruments.
Deferred
Financing Costs
Deferred
financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
related borrowings which approximate the effective interest method. Amortization
of financing costs totaling $2.1 million, $1.9 million and $2.3 million in
2005,
2004 and 2003, respectively, is classified as “interest - amortization of
deferred financing costs” in our audited consolidated statements of operations.
When financings are terminated, unamortized amounts paid, as well as, charges
incurred for the termination, are expensed at the time the termination is made.
Gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt are presented as interest
expense within income from continuing operations in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

Revenue
Recognition
Rental
income is recognized as earned over the terms of the related master leases.
Such
income generally includes periodic increases based on pre-determined formulas
(i.e., such as increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”)) as defined in the
master leases. Certain master leases contain provisions relating to specific
and
determinable increases in rental payments over the term of the leases. Rental
income, under lease arrangements with specific and determinable increases,
is
recognized over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis. Recognition
of
rental income commences when control of the facility has been given to the
tenant. Mortgage interest income is recognized as earned over the terms of
the
related mortgage notes.
Reserves
are taken against earned revenues from leases and mortgages when collection
of
amounts due becomes questionable or when negotiations for restructurings of
troubled operators lead to lower expectations regarding ultimate collection.
When collection is uncertain, lease revenues are recorded as received, after
taking into account application of security deposits. The recording of any
related straight-line rent is suspended until past due amounts have been paid.
In the event the straight-line rent is deemed uncollectible, an allowance for
loss for the straight-line rent asset will be recognized. Interest income on
impaired mortgage loans is recognized as received after taking into account
application of security deposits.
Nursing
home revenues from owned and operated assets (primarily Medicare, Medicaid
and
other third party insurance) are recognized as patient services are
provided.
Gains
on
sales of real estate assets are recognized pursuant to the provisions of SFAS
No. 66, Accounting
for Sales of Real Estate.
The
specific timing of the recognition of the sale and the related gain is measured
against the various criteria in SFAS No. 66 related to the terms of the
transactions and any continuing involvement associated with the assets sold.
To
the extent the sales criteria are not met, we defer gain recognition until
the
sales criteria are met.
Owned
and Operated Assets
If
real
estate is acquired and operated pursuant to a foreclosure proceeding, it is
designated as “owned and operated assets” and recorded at the lower of cost or
fair value.
Assets
Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
When
a
formal plan to sell real estate is adopted the real estate is classified as
“assets held for sale,” with the net carrying amount adjusted to the lower of
cost or estimated fair value, less cost of disposal. Depreciation of the
facilities is excluded from operations after management has committed to a
plan
to sell the asset. Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
long-lived assets sold or designated as held for sale are reported as
discontinued operations in our financial statements
for all
periods presented. We had five assets held for sale as of December 31, 2005
with
a combined net book value of $2.7 million. We held two assets that qualified
as
held for sale as of December 31, 2004, with a $4.0 million combined net book
value.
Derivative
Instruments
SFAS
No.
133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
as
amended, (“FAS No. 133”), requires that all derivatives are recognized on the
balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to
fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature
of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against
the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments
through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedge
item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change
in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
At
December 31, 2005, we had one derivative instrument accounted for at fair value
resulting from the conversion feature of a redeemable convertible preferred
stock security in Advocat, a publicly traded company, to convert that security
into Advocat common stock at a fixed exchange rate; see Note 15 – Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements
and Note
5 – Other
Investments.

Earnings
Per Share
Basic
earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available
to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur from shares issuable through stock-based compensation, including
stock options, restricted stock and the conversion of our Series C preferred
stock.
Federal
and State Income Taxes
So
long
as we qualify as a REIT, we will not be subject to Federal income taxes on
our
income, except as described below. To the extent that we have foreclosure income
from our owned and operated assets, we will incur federal tax at a rate of
35%.
To date, our owned and operated assets have generated losses, and therefore,
no
provision for federal income tax is necessary. We are permitted to own up to
100% of a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (“TRS”). Currently, we have two TRSs that
are taxable as corporations and that pay federal, state and local income tax
on
their net income at the applicable corporate rates. These TRSs had a net
operating loss carry-forward as of December 31, 2005 of $14.4 million. This
loss
carry-forward was fully reserved with a valuation allowance due to uncertainties
regarding realization.
During
the fourth quarter of 2006, we determined that certain terms of the Advocat
Series B non-voting, redeemable convertible preferred stock held by us could
be
interpreted as affecting our compliance with federal income tax rules applicable
to REITs regarding related party tenant income. As such, Advocat, one of our
lessees, may be deemed to be a “related party tenant” under applicable federal
income tax rules. In such event, our rental income from Advocat would not be
qualifying income under the gross income tests that are applicable to REITs.
In
order to maintain qualification as a REIT, we annually must satisfy certain
tests regarding the source of our gross income. The applicable federal income
tax rules provide a “savings clause” for REITs that fail to satisfy the REIT
gross income tests if such failure is due to reasonable cause. A REIT that
qualifies for the savings clause will retain its REIT status but will pay a
tax
under section 857(b)(5) and related interest. We currently plan to submit to
the
IRS a request for a closing agreement to resolve the “related party tenant”
issue. While we believe there are valid arguments that Advocat should not be
deemed a “related party tenant,” the matter is not free from doubt, and we
believe it is in our best interest to request a closing agreement in order
to
resolve the matter, minimize potential interest charges and obtain assurances
regarding our continuing REIT status. By submitting a request for a closing
agreement, we intend to establish that any failure to satisfy the gross income
tests was due to reasonable cause (see Note 15 – Restatement of Previously
Issued Financial Statements). In the event that it is determined that the
“savings clause” described above does not apply, we could be treated as having
failed to qualify as a REIT for one or more taxable years. If we fail to qualify
for taxation as a REIT for any taxable year, our income will be taxed at regular
corporate rates, and we could be disqualified as a REIT for the following four
taxable years.
As
a
result of the potential related party tenant issue described above and further
discussed in Note 15 – Restatement of Previously Issued Financial
Statements, we have recorded a $2.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.5 million
provision for income tax, including related interest expense, for the years
ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The amount accrued
represents the estimated liability, which remains subject to final resolution
and therefore is subject to change. In addition, in October 2006, we
restructured our Advocat relationship and have been advised by tax counsel
that
we will not receive any non-qualifying related party tenant income from Advocat
in future fiscal years. Accordingly, we do not expect to incur tax expense
associated with related party tenant income in future periods commencing January
1, 2007. We will continue to accrue an income tax liability related to this
matter during 2006.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Our
company grants stock options to employees and directors with an exercise price
equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of the grant. In accordance
with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, compensation
expense is not recognized for these stock option grants.

Effects
of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123
(revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment
(“FAS
No. 123R”), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation.
FAS No.
123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees,
and
amends SFAS No. 95, Statement
of Cash Flows.
Registrants were initially required to adopt FAS No. 123R as of the beginning
of
the first interim or annual period that begins after June 15, 2005. On April
14,
2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that allows
companies to implement FAS No. 123R at the beginning of their next fiscal year
that begins after June 15, 2005. We will adopt FAS No. 123R at the beginning
of
our 2006 fiscal year using the modified prospective method. The estimated
additional expense to be recorded in 2006 as a result of this adoption is $3
thousand.
Risks
and Uncertainties
Our
company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties affecting the healthcare
industry as a result of healthcare legislation and growing regulation by
federal, state and local governments. Additionally, we are subject to risks
and
uncertainties as a result of changes affecting operators of nursing home
facilities due to the actions of governmental agencies and insurers to limit
the
growth in cost of healthcare services (see Note 6 - Concentration of
Risk).

On
December 16, 2005, we purchased ten SNFs and one ALF located in Ohio
totaling 1,610 beds for a total investment of $115.3 million. The
facilities were consolidated into a new ten year master lease and
leased
to affiliates of an existing operator, CommuniCare Health Services,
Inc.
(“CommuniCare”), with annualized rent increasing by approximately $11.6
million, subject to annual escalators, and two ten year renewal
options.

|
On
June 28, 2005, we purchased five SNFs located in Ohio (3) and Pennsylvania
(2), totaling 911 beds for a total investment, excluding working
capital,
of approximately $50 million. The SNFs were purchased from an unrelated
third party and are now operated by affiliates of CommuniCare, with
the
five facilities being consolidated into an existing master
lease.

Nexion
Health, Inc.
On
November 1, 2005, we purchased three SNFs in two separate transactions for
a
total investment of approximately $12.75 million. All three facilities, totaling
400 beds, are located in Texas. The facilities were consolidated into a master
lease with a subsidiary of an existing operator, Nexion Health, Inc. The term
of
the existing master lease was extended to ten years and runs through October
31,
2015, followed by four renewal options of five years each.

Senior
Management Services, Inc.
Effective
June 1, 2005, we purchased two SNFs for a total investment of approximately
$9.5
million. Both facilities, totaling 440 beds, are located in Texas. The
facilities were consolidated into a master lease with subsidiaries of an
existing operator, Senior Management Services, Inc., with annualized rent
increasing by approximately $1.1 million, with annual escalators. The term
of
the existing master lease was extended to ten years and runs through May 31,
2015, followed by two renewal options of ten years each.
Essex
Healthcare Corporation
On
January 13, 2005, we closed on approximately $58 million of net new investments
with American Health Care Centers (“American”) for the purchase of 13 SNFs. The
gross purchase price of approximately $79 million was offset by a purchase
option of approximately $7 million and approximately $14 million in mortgage
loans the Company had outstanding with American and its affiliates. The 13
properties, all located in Ohio, will continue to be leased by Essex Healthcare
Corporation. The master lease and related agreements run through October 31,
2010. The mortgage loans of $14 million settled in connection with this
acquisition and the application of the $7 million purchase option represent
non-cash financing sources for the acquisition.
Claremont
Health Care Holdings, Inc.
Effective
January 1, 2005, we re-leased one SNF formerly leased to Claremont Health Care
Holdings, Inc., located in New Hampshire and representing 68 beds to affiliates
of an existing operator, Haven Eldercare, LLC (“Haven”). This facility was added
to an existing master lease, which expires on December 31, 2013, followed by
two
10-year renewal options.
Acquisitions
The

For
the

Sun
Healthcare Common Stock Investment
·
|
Under
our 2004 restructuring agreement with Sun, we received the right
to
convert deferred base rent owed to us, totaling approximately $7.8
million, into 800,000 shares of Sun’s common stock, subject to certain
non-dilution provisions and the right of Sun to pay cash in an amount
equal to the value of that stock in lieu of issuing stock to
us.
|
·
|
On
March 30, 2004, we notified Sun of our intention to exercise our
right to
convert the deferred base rent into fully paid and non-assessable
shares
of Sun’s common stock. On April 16, 2004, we received a stock certificate
for 760,000 restricted shares of Sun’s common stock and cash in the amount
of approximately $0.5 million in exchange for the remaining 40,000
shares
of Sun’s common stock. On July 23, 2004, Sun registered these shares with
the SEC. We are accounting for the 760,000 shares received as “available
for sale” marketable securities with changes in market value recorded in

million provision for impairment to write-down our 760,000 share
investment in Sun common stock to its then current fair market value
of
$4.9 million.

The

accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2005 was an
unrealized gain of $0.2 million and at December 31, 2004 was an unrealized
loss of $1.2 million, relating to our investment in Sun common

Advocat
Subordinated Debt and Convertible Preferred Stock Investments
·
|
Under
our 2000 restructuring agreement with Advocat, we received the following:
(i) 393,658 shares of Advocat’s Series B non-voting, redeemable (on or
after September 30, 2007), convertible preferred stock, which was
convertible into up to 706,576 shares of Advocat’s common stock
(representing 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Advocat’s common stock on
a fully diluted, as-converted basis and accruing dividends at 7%
per
annum); and (ii) a secured convertible subordinated note in the amount
of
$1.7 million bearing interest at 7% per annum with a September 30,
2007
maturity (see
Note 15 - Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements
and Note 16 - Summary
of Quarterly Results).
|
·
|
In
accordance with FAS No. 115, the Advocat Series B security is a compound
financial instrument. The embedded derivative value of the conversion
feature is recorded separately at fair market value in accordance
with FAS
No. 133. The non-derivative portion of the security is classified
as an
available-for-sale investment and is stated at its fair value with
unrealized gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income. The fair value of the
non-derivative portion of the security
was $4.3 million and $4.0 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. Included in accumulated other comprehensive income
at
December 31, 2005 and 2004 were unrealized gains of $1.9 million
and $3.2
million, respectively, relating to the non-derivative portion of
the
security.

·
|
In
accordance with FAS No. 114 and FAS No. 118, the Advocat secured
convertible subordinated note is fully reserved and accounted for
using
the cost-recovery method applying cash received against the outstanding
principal balance prior to recording interest
income.

NOTE
6 - CONCENTRATION OF RISK
As
of
December 31, 2005, our portfolio of domestic investments consisted of 227
healthcare facilities, located in 27 states and operated by 35 third-party
operators. Our gross investment in these facilities, net of impairments and
before reserve for uncollectible loans, totaled approximately $1.1 billion
at
December 31, 2005, with approximately 98% of our real estate investments related
to long-term care facilities. This portfolio is made up of 193 long-term
healthcare facilities, two rehabilitation hospitals owned and leased to third
parties, and fixed rate mortgages on 32 long-term healthcare facilities. At
December 31, 2005, we also held miscellaneous investments of approximately
$29
million, consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of
our
facilities.
At
December 31, 2005, approximately 25% of our real estate investments were
operated by two public companies: Sun (15%) and Advocat (10%). Our largest
private company operators (by investment) were Communicare (17%), Haven (11%),
Guardian LTC Management, Inc. (7%) and Essex (7%). No other operator represents
more than 5% of our investments. The three states in which we had our highest

revenues from operations.
NOTE
7 - LEASE AND MORTGAGE DEPOSITS
We
obtain
liquidity deposits and letters of credit from most operators pursuant to our
lease and mortgage contracts with the operators. These generally represent
the
rental and mortgage interest for periods ranging from three to six months with
respect to certain of its investments. The liquidity deposits may be applied
in
the event of lease and loan defaults, subject to applicable limitations under
bankruptcy law with respect to operators filing under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code. At December 31, 2005, we held $5.8 million in such
liquidity deposits and $11.1 million in letters of credit. Additional security
for rental and mortgage interest revenue from operators is provided by covenants
regarding minimum working capital and net worth, liens on accounts receivable
and other operating assets of the operators, provisions for cross default,
provisions for cross-collateralization and by corporate/personal
guarantees.

8 - BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
Secured
Borrowings
We
have a
$200 million revolving senior secured credit facility (“Credit Facility”). At
December 31, 2005, $58.0 million was outstanding under our Credit Facility
and
$3.9 million was utilized for the issuance of letters of credit, leaving
availability of $138.1 million. On April 26, 2005, we amended our Credit
Facility to reduce both LIBOR and Base Rate interest spreads (as defined in
the
Credit Facility) by 50 basis points for borrowings outstanding. The $58.0
million of outstanding borrowings had a blended interest rate of 7.12% at
December 31, 2005.
Our
long-term borrowings require us to meet certain property level financial
covenants and corporate financial covenants, including prescribed leverage,
fixed charge coverage, minimum net worth, limitations on additional indebtedness
and limitations on dividend payouts. As of December 31, 2005, we were in
compliance with all property level and corporate financial
covenants.
On
December 2, 2004, we exercised our right to increase the revolving commitments
under our Credit Facility by an additional $25 million, to $200 million.
Additionally, on April 30, 2004, we exercised our right to increase the
revolving commitments under our Credit Facility by an additional $50 million,
to
$175 million. All other terms of the Credit Facility, which closed on March
22,
2004 with commitments of $125 million, remain substantially the same. The Credit
Facility will be used for acquisitions and general corporate purposes. Bank
of
America, N.A. serves as Administrative Agent for the Credit
Facility.
At

$100
Million Aggregate Principal Amount of 6.95% Unsecured Notes Tender and

aggregate principal amount of the 2007 Notes outstanding that were tendered.
On

upon our irrevocable funding of the full redemption price for the 2007 Notes
and
certain other acts required by the Indenture governing the 2007 Notes, the
Trustee of the 2007 Notes certified in writing to us (the “Certificate of
Satisfaction and Discharge”) that the Indenture was satisfied and discharged as
of December 30, 2005, except for certain provisions. In accordance with SFAS
No.
140, Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of
Liabilities,
we
removed 79.3% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2007 Notes, which were
tendered in our tender offer and consent solicitation, and the corresponding
portion of the funds held in trust by the Trustee to pay the tender price from
its balance sheet and recognized $2.8 million of additional interest expense
associated with the tender offer. On January 18, 2006, we completed the
redemption of the remaining 2007 Notes not otherwise tendered. In connection
with the redemption and in accordance with SFAS No. 140, we will recognize

Million Aggregate Principal Amount of 7% Unsecured Notes

December 30, 2005, we closed on a private offering of $175 million of 7% senior
unsecured notes due 2016 (“2016 Notes”) at an issue price of 99.109% of the
principal amount of the notes (equal to a per annum yield to maturity of
approximately 7.125%), resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $173.4
million. The 2016 Notes are unsecured senior obligations to us, which have
been
guaranteed by our subsidiaries. The 2016 Notes were issued in a private
placement to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). A portion of the proceeds of this private
offering was used to pay the tender price and redemption price of the 2007
Notes. Pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement entered into
by
us in connection with the consummation of the offering, we are obligated to
file
a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to
offer to exchange registered notes for all of our outstanding unregistered
2016
Notes. The terms of the exchange notes will be identical to the terms of the
2016 Notes, except that the exchange notes will be registered under the
Securities Act and therefore freely tradable (subject to certain conditions).
The exchange notes will represent our unsecured senior obligations and will
be
guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries with unconditional guarantees of payment
that rank equally with existing and future senior unsecured debt of such
subsidiaries and senior to existing and future subordinated debt of such
subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that we will experience full
participation in the exchange offer. In the event all the 2016 Notes are not
exchanged in the exchange offer, we will have two classes of 7% senior notes
due
2016 outstanding.
$50
Million Aggregate Principal Amount of 7% Unsecured Notes
Issuance
On
December 2, 2005, we completed a privately placed offering of an additional
$50
million aggregate principal amount of 7% senior notes due 2014 (the “2014 Add-on
Notes”) at an issue price of 100.25% of the principal amount of the notes (equal
to a per annum yield to maturity of approximately 6.95%), resulting in gross
proceeds to us of approximately $50.1 million. The terms of the 2014 Add-on
Notes offered were substantially identical to our existing $200 million
aggregate principal amount of 7% senior notes due 2014 issued in March 2004.
The
2014 Add-on Notes were issued through a private placement to qualified
institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. After giving
effect to the issuance of the $50 million aggregate principal amount of this
offering, we had outstanding $310 million aggregate principal amount of 7%
senior notes due 2014. Pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement
entered into by us in connection with the consummation of the offering, we
are
obligated to file a registration statement with the SEC to offer to exchange
registered notes for all of our outstanding unregistered 2014 Add-on Notes
(“Add-on Notes Exchange Offer”). The terms of the exchange notes (“Add-on
Exchange Notes”) will be identical to the terms of the 2014 Add-on Notes, except
that the Add-on Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act
and
therefore freely tradable (subject to certain conditions). The Add-on Exchange
Notes will represent our unsecured senior obligations and will be guaranteed
by
all of our subsidiaries with unconditional guarantees of payment that rank
equally with existing and future senior unsecured debt of such subsidiaries
and
senior to existing and future subordinated debt of such subsidiaries. There

$60
million aggregate principal amount of 7% senior notes due 2014 (the “Additional
Notes”) at an issue price of 102.25% of the principal amount of the Additional
Notes (equal to a per annum yield to maturity of approximately 6.67%), resulting
in gross proceeds of approximately $61 million. The terms of the Additional
Notes offered were substantially identical to our existing $200 million
aggregate principal amount of 7% senior notes due 2014 issued in March 2004.
The
Additional Notes were issued through a private placement to qualified
institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
“Securities Act”) and in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under
the Securities Act.
On
December 21, 2004, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 under the
Securities Act with the SEC offering to exchange (the “Additional Notes Exchange
Offer”) up to $60 million aggregate principal amount of our registered 7% Senior

Fair
value estimates are subjective in nature and are dependent on a number of
important assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows, risks, discount
rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial
instrument. (See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). The
use
of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material
effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates
presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we would realize
in a current market exchange.
The
following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value disclosures
for financial instruments.
·
|
Cash
and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents
reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value because of
the short
maturity of these instruments (i.e., less than 90
days).
|
·
|
Mortgage
notes receivable: The fair values of the mortgage notes receivables
are
estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates
being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit
ratings.
|
·
|
Other
investments: Other investments are primarily comprised of: (i) notes
receivable; (ii) a redeemable convertible preferred security; (iii)
an
embedded derivative of the redeemable convertible preferred security;
(iv)
a subordinated debt instrument of a publicly traded company; and
(v) a
marketable common stock security held for resale. The fair values
of notes
receivable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, using
interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with
similar
credit ratings. The fair value of the embedded derivative is estimated
using a
financial pricing model and market data derived from the underlying
issuer’s common stock. The
fair value of the marketable securities are estimated using discounted
cash flow and volatility assumptions or, if available, a quoted market
value.

Revolving
lines of credit: The carrying values of our borrowings under variable
rate
agreements approximate their fair
values.
|
·
|
Senior
notes and other long-term borrowings: The fair value of our borrowings
under fixed rate agreements are estimated based on open market trading
activity provided by a third party.
|
From
time
to time, we may utilize interest rate swaps and caps to fix interest rates
on
variable rate debt and reduce certain exposures to interest rate fluctuations.
We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We have a policy
of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon
their credit ratings and other factors. At December 31, 2004 and 2005, we had
no
derivative instruments relating to interest rate swaps and caps on our balance
sheet.
To
manage
interest rate risk, we may employ options, forwards, interest rate swaps, caps
and floors or a combination thereof depending on the underlying exposure. We
may
employ swaps, forwards or purchased options to hedge qualifying forecasted
transactions. Gains and losses related to these transactions are deferred and
recognized in net income as interest expense in the same period or periods
that
the underlying transaction occurs, expires or is otherwise terminated.
We
account for derivative financial instruments under the guidance of SFAS No.
133,
Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
and
SFAS No. 138, Accounting
for Certain Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an Amendment of
Statement No. 133.
These
financial accounting standards require us to recognize all derivatives on the
balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted
to
fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature
of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset
against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm
commitments through earnings or recognized in Other Comprehensive Income until
the hedge item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a
derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in
earnings.
In
September 2002, we entered into a 61-month, $200.0 million interest rate cap
with a strike of 3.50% that was designated as a cash flow hedge. Under the
terms
of the cap agreement, when LIBOR exceeds 3.50%, the counterparty would pay
us
$200.0 million multiplied by the difference between LIBOR and 3.50% times the
number of days when LIBOR exceeds 3.50%. The unrealized gain/loss in the fair
value of cash flow hedges is reported on the balance sheet with corresponding
adjustments to accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. In connection with the
repayment and termination of our prior credit facility, we sold our $200 million
interest rate cap on March 31, 2004. Net proceeds from the sale totaled
approximately $3.5 million and resulted in a loss of approximately $6.5 million,
which was recorded in the first quarter of 2004.
NOTE
10 - RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENTS
Our
company has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan covering all eligible employees. Under
this plan, employees are eligible to make contributions, and we, at our
discretion, may match contributions and make a profit sharing
contribution.
We
have a
Deferred Compensation Plan which is an unfunded plan under which we can award
units that result in participation in the dividends and future growth in the
value of our common stock. There are no outstanding units as of December 31,
2005.
Amounts
charged to operations with respect to these retirement arrangements totaled
approximately $55,400, $52,800 and $52,200 in 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.

the repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock resulted in a non-cash charge
to
our 2004 net income available to common stockholders of approximately $2.3

On
February 5, 2004, we announced that Explorer, our then largest stockholder,
granted us the option to repurchase up to 700,000 shares of our Series C
Preferred Stock, which were convertible into our common shares held by Explorer
at a negotiated purchase price of $145.92 per share of Series C Preferred Stock
(or $9.12 per common share on an as converted basis). Explorer further agreed
to
convert any remaining Series C Preferred Stock into our common
stock.
We
used
approximately $102.1 million of the net proceeds from the Series D Preferred
Stock offering to repurchase 700,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock
from
Explorer. In connection with the closing of the repurchase, Explorer converted
its remaining 348,420 shares of Series C Preferred Stock into approximately
5.6
million shares of our common stock. Following the repurchase and conversion,
Explorer held approximately 18.1 million of our common shares.
The
combined repurchase and conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock reduced
our
preferred dividend requirements, increased our market capitalization and
facilitated future financings by simplifying our capital structure. Under
FASB-EITF Issue D-42, ‘‘The Effect on the Calculation of Earnings per Share for
the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock,” the repurchase of the
Series C Preferred Stock resulted in a non-cash charge to our 2004 net income
available to common stockholders of approximately $38.7 million.
18.1
Million Secondary and 2.7 Million Share Primary Offering of Our Common
Stock
On
March
8, 2004, we announced the closing of an underwritten public offering of 18.1
million shares of our common stock at a price of $9.85 per share owned by
Explorer (the “Secondary Offering”). As a result of the Secondary Offering,
Explorer no longer owned any shares of our common stock. We did not receive
any
proceeds from the sale of the shares sold by Explorer.
In
connection with the Secondary Offering, we issued approximately 2.7 million
additional shares of our common stock at a price of $9.85 per share, less
underwriting discounts (the “Over-Allotment Offering”), to cover over-allotments
in connection with the Secondary Offering. We received net proceeds of
approximately $23 million from the Over-Allotment Offering.

We

Under
the terms of the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”), we reserved
3,500,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price per share of an option
under the 2000 Plan cannot be reduced after the date of grant, nor can an option
be cancelled in exchange for an option with a lower exercise price per share.
The 2000 Plan provides for non-employee directors to receive options that vest
over three years while other grants vest over the period required in the
agreement applicable to the individual recipient. Directors, officers and
employees and consultants are eligible to participate in the 2000 Plan. At
December 31, 2005, there were outstanding options for 227,440 shares of common
stock granted to 11 eligible participants under the 2000 Plan. Additionally,
355,655 shares of restricted stock have been granted under the provisions of
the

Restricted
Stock
On
September 10, 2004, we entered into restricted stock agreements with four
executive officers under the 2004 Plan. A total of 317,500 shares of restricted
stock were granted, which equated to approximately $3.3 million of deferred
compensation. The shares vest thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%)
on
each of January 1, 2005, January 1, 2006 and January 1, 2007 so long as the
executive officer remains employed on the vesting date, with vesting
accelerating upon a qualifying termination of employment or upon the occurrence
of a change of control (as defined in the Restricted Stock Agreements). As
a
result of the grant, we recorded a $1.1 million non-cash compensation expense
for each of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. For the year ended
December 31, 2005, we issued 2,705 shares of restricted common stock to each
non-employee director and an additional 2,000 shares of restricted common stock
to the Chairman of the Board under the 2004 Plan for a total of 15,525 shares.
These shares represent a payment of the portion of the directors’ annual
retainer that is payable in shares of our common stock.
Performance
Restricted Stock Units
On
September 10, 2004, we entered into performance restricted stock unit agreements
with our four executive officers under the 2004 Plan. A total of 317,500
restricted stock units were issued under the 2004 Plan and will fully vest
into
shares of common stock when our company attains $0.30 per share of adjusted
funds from operations (as defined in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreements)
for
two (2) consecutive quarters, with vesting accelerating upon a qualifying
termination of employment or upon the occurrence of a change of control (as
defined in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreements). The issuance of restricted
stock units had no impact on our calculation of diluted earnings per common
share at this time; however, under our current method of accounting for
stock-based compensation, the expense related to the restricted stock units
will
be recognized when it becomes probable that the vesting requirements will be
met.

On
February 5, 2004, we entered into a Repurchase and Conversion Agreement with
our
then largest stockholder, Explorer, pursuant to which Explorer granted us an
option to repurchase up to 700,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock at
a
price of $145.92 per share (or $9.12 per share of common stock on an
as-converted basis), on the condition that we purchase a minimum of $100 million
on or prior to February 27, 2004. Explorer also agreed to convert all of its
remaining shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock
upon exercise of the repurchase option.
On
February 10, 2004, we sold in a registered direct placement 4,739,500 shares
of
our Series D Preferred Stock at a price of $25 per share to a number of
institutional investors and other purchasers for net proceeds, after fees and
expenses, of approximately $114.9 million. Following the closing of the Series
D
Preferred Stock offering, we used approximately $102.1 million of the net
proceeds to repurchase 700,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock from
Explorer pursuant to the repurchase option. In connection with this transaction,
Explorer converted its remaining 348,420 shares of Series C Preferred Stock
into

On
February 12, 2004, we registered Explorer’s 18,118,246 shares of common stock
with the SEC. Explorer sold all of these registered shares pursuant to the
registration statement.
In
connection with our repurchase of a portion of Explorer’s Series C Preferred
Stock, our results of operations for the first quarter of 2004 included a
non-recurring reduction in net income attributable to common stockholders of
approximately $38.7 million. This amount reflects the sum of: (i) the difference
between the deemed redemption price of $145.92 per share of our Series C
Preferred Stock and the carrying amount of $100 per share of our Series C
Preferred Stock multiplied by the number of shares of the Series C Preferred
Stock repurchased upon exercise of our option to repurchase shares of Series
C
Preferred Stock; and (ii) the cost associated with the original issuance of
our
Series C Preferred Stock that was previously classified as additional paid-in
capital, pro-rated for the repurchase.

NOTE
13 - DIVIDENDS
In
order
to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends (other than
capital gain dividends) to our stockholders in an amount at least equal to
(A)
the sum of (i) 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (computed without regard to the
dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain), and (ii) 90% of the net
income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (B) the sum of
certain items of non-cash income. In addition, if we dispose of any built-in
gain asset during a recognition period, we will be required to distribute at
least 90% of the built-in gain (after tax), if any, recognized on the
disposition of such asset. Such distributions must be paid in the taxable year
to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if declared before we
timely file our tax return for such year and paid on or before the first regular
dividend payment after such declaration. In addition, such distributions are
required to be made pro rata, with no preference to any share of stock as
compared with other shares of the same class, and with no preference to one
class of stock as compared with another class except to the extent that such
class is entitled to such a preference. To the extent that we do not distribute
all of our net capital gain or do distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%
of
our “REIT taxable income,” as adjusted, we will be subject to tax thereon at
regular ordinary and capital gain corporate tax rates. In addition, our Credit
Facility has certain financial covenants that limit the distribution of
dividends paid during a fiscal quarter to no more than 95% of our immediately
prior fiscal quarter’s FFO as defined in the loan agreement governing the Credit
Facility (the “Loan Agreement”), unless a greater distribution is required to
maintain REIT status. The Loan Agreement defines FFO as net income (or loss)
plus depreciation and amortization and shall be adjusted for charges related
to:
(i) restructuring our debt; (ii) redemption of preferred stock; (iii) litigation
charges up to $5.0 million; (iv) non-cash charges for accounts and notes
receivable up to $5.0 million; (v) non-cash compensation related expenses;
and
(vi) non-cash impairment charges.

NOTE
14 - LITIGATION
We
are
subject to various legal proceedings, claims and other actions arising out
of
the normal course of business. While any legal proceeding or claim has an
element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of each lawsuit,
claim or legal proceeding that is pending or threatened, or all of them
combined, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
We
and
several of our wholly-owned subsidiaries have been named as defendants in
professional liability claims related to our former owned and operated
facilities. Other third-party managers responsible for the day-to-day operations
of these facilities have also been named as defendants in these claims. In
these
suits, patients of certain previously owned and operated facilities have alleged
significant damages, including punitive damages against the defendants. The
majority of these lawsuits representing the most significant amount of exposure
were settled in 2004. There currently is one lawsuit pending that is in the
discovery stage, and we are unable to predict the likely outcome of this lawsuit
at this time.

In
1999,
we filed suit against a former tenant seeking damages based on claims of breach
of contract. The defendants denied the allegations made in the lawsuit. In
settlement of our claim against the defendants, we agreed in the fourth quarter
of 2005 to accept a lump sum cash payment of $2.4 million. The cash proceeds
were offset by related expenses incurred of $0.8 million, resulting in a net
gain of $1.6 million paid December 22, 2005.
During
2005, we accrued $1.1 million to settle a dispute relating to capital
improvement requirements associated with a lease that expired June 30,
2005.
NOTE
15 –
RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Summary
of Restatement Items
Our
Board
of Directors, including our Audit Committee, concluded on October 24, 2006,
to
restate our audited financial results as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and
for
the three years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 and for other periods
affected, including its unaudited financial statements for each quarterly period
in 2005 and 2004 (the “Restatement”). The Restatement reflects the following
adjustments to correct the accounting for income tax matters, asset values
and
recording of straight-line rental income:
1.
|
We
have recorded asset values for securities received from Advocat (and
the
increases therein) since the completion of the restructuring of Advocat
obligations pursuant to leases and mortgages for the facilities then
operated by Advocat in 2000. These adjustments will increase total
assets
by $5.4 million and $5.1 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. These adjustments will also increase net income by
$1.6
million, $1.9 million and $0.0 million for the years ended December
31,
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Changes in the fair value of the
securities not currently recognized in net income will be reflected
in
other comprehensive income.
|
2.
|
As
a result of our holdings of Advocat securities, we recorded reserves
related to a potential tax liability arising from our ownership of
such
securities. This tax liability along with related interest expense
had not
been previously accrued for and this adjustment will decrease net
income
by $2.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The amount accrued
represents the estimated liability, which remains subject to final
resolution and therefore is subject to
change.
|
3.
|
Subsequent
to October 25, 2006, we made a correction to our accounting for certain
leases because these leases contain provisions (such as increases
in rent
based on the lesser of a fixed amount or two times CPI) that require
us to
record rental income on a straight-line basis subject to an appropriate
evaluation of collectibility. We had not previously recorded rental
income
on these leases on a straight-line basis. As a result of this adjustment,
our net income will increase by $2.8 million, $1.9 million and $1.1
million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. In addition, net accounts receivable and retained earnings
will increase by $9.1 million and $6.3 million as of December 31,
2005 and
2004, respectively, to reflect the effects of this adjustment from
inception of the affected leases. See “Recording of Rental Income”
below.
|
In
November 2000, Advocat, an operator of various skilled nursing facilities owned
by or mortgaged to us, was in default on its obligations to us. As a result,
we
entered into an agreement with Advocat with respect to the restructuring of
Advocat’s obligations pursuant to leases and mortgages for the facilities then
operated by Advocat (the “Initial Advocat Restructuring”). As part of the
Initial Advocat Restructuring in 2000, Advocat issued to us (i) 393,658 shares
of Advocat’s Series B non-voting, redeemable (on or after September 30, 2007),
convertible preferred stock, which was convertible into up to 706,576 shares
of
Advocat’s common stock (representing 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Advocat’s
common stock on a fully diluted, as-converted basis and accruing dividends
at 7%
per annum), and (ii) a secured convertible subordinated note in the amount
of
$1.7 million bearing interest at 7% per annum with a September 30, 2007
maturity.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -

Subsequent
to the Initial Advocat Restructuring, Advocat’s operations and financial
condition have improved and there has been a significant increase in the market
value of Advocat’s common stock from approximately $0.31 per share at the time
of the Initial Advocat Restructuring to the closing price on October 20, 2006
of
$18.84. As a result of the significant increase in the value of the common
stock
underlying the Series B preferred stock of Advocat held by us, on October 20,
2006 we again restructured our relationship with Advocat (the “Second Advocat
Restructuring”) by entering into a Restructuring Stock Issuance and Subscription
Agreement with Advocat (the “2006 Advocat Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2006
Advocat Agreement, we exchanged the Advocat Series B preferred stock and
subordinated note issued in the Initial Advocat Restructuring for 5,000 shares
of Advocat’s Series C non-convertible, redeemable (at our option after September
30, 2010) preferred stock with a face value of approximately $4.9 million and
a
dividend rate of 7% payable quarterly, and a secured non-convertible
subordinated note in the amount of $2.5 million maturing September 30, 2007
and
bearing interest at 7% per annum. As part of the Second Advocat Restructuring,
we also amended our Consolidated Amended and Restated Master Lease by and
between one of our subsidiaries, as lessor, and a subsidiary of Advocat, as
lessee, to commence a new 12-year lease term through September 30, 2018 (with
a
renewal option for an additional 12 year term) and Advocat has agreed to
increase the master lease annual rent by approximately $687,000 to approximately
$14 million commencing on January 1, 2007.
Management
believes that certain of the terms of the Advocat Series B preferred stock
previously held by us could be interpreted as affecting our compliance with
federal income tax rules applicable to REITs regarding related party tenant
income as described below.
In
2000
at the time of the Initial Advocat Restructuring, we determined that no value
should be ascribed to the Advocat preferred stock and subordinated note and,
as
a result, no value was recorded on our financial statements at that time or
in
any subsequent period. Management now believes that the accounting treatment
in
previous periods was incorrect and, in addition to the related party tenant
issues described below, the Restatement reflects the appropriate carrying value
(in accordance with FAS No. 115) of the Advocat preferred stock of $4.3 million
and $4.0 million and an embedded derivative (in accordance with FAS No. 133)
of
$1.1 million and $1.1 million on our restated balance sheets as of December
31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, in accordance with FAS No. 114, the
Advocat subordinated note of $1.7 million was fully reserved at December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively.
The
market value for Advocat’s common stock has increased significantly since the
completion of the Initial Advocat Restructuring. In connection with exploring
the potential disposition of the Advocat Series B preferred stock as part of
the
Second Advocat Restructuring, we were advised by our tax counsel that due to
the
structure of the Initial Advocat Restructuring, Advocat may be deemed to be
a
“related party tenant” under applicable federal income tax rules and, in such
event, rental income from Advocat would not be qualifying income under the
gross
income tests that are applicable to REITs.
In
order
to maintain qualification as a REIT, we annually must satisfy certain tests
regarding the source of our gross income. The applicable federal income tax
rules provide a “savings clause” for REITs that fail to satisfy the REIT gross
income tests, if such failure is due to reasonable cause. A REIT that qualifies
for the savings clause will retain its REIT status but will pay a tax under
section 857(b)(5) and related interest.
We
currently plan to submit to the IRS a request for a closing agreement to resolve
the “related party tenant” issue. While we believe there are valid arguments
that Advocat should not be deemed a “related party tenant,” the matter is not
free from doubt, and we believe it is in our best interest to request a closing
agreement in order to resolve the matter, minimize potential interest charges
and obtain assurances regarding its continuing REIT status. By submitting a
request for a closing agreement, we intend to establish that any failure to
satisfy the gross income tests was due to reasonable cause. In the event that
it
is determined that the “savings clause” described above does not apply, we could
be treated as having failed to qualify as a REIT for one or more taxable years.
If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT for any taxable year, our income
will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we could be disqualified as a
REIT
for the following four taxable years.
As
noted
above, we have completed the Second Advocat Restructuring and have been advised
by tax counsel that we will not receive any non-qualifying related party tenant
income from Advocat in future fiscal years. Accordingly, we do not expect to
incur tax expense associated with related party tenant income in future
periods
commencing January 1, 2007. We will continue to accrue an income tax liability
related to this matter during 2006.

Recording
of Rental Income
During
the course of preparing the Restatement due to the issues related to Advocat
described above, we determined that we should correct our accounting for certain
leases because these leases contain provisions (such as increases in rent based
on the lesser of a fixed amount or two times CPI) that require us to record
rental income on a straight-line basis subject to an appropriate evaluation
of
collectibility. Historically, we have recorded rental income for leases with
these provisions based on contractual scheduled rent payments, rather than
on a
straight-line basis. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (“SFAS”) No. 13, Accounting
for Lease,
and
Financial Accounting Standards Board Technical Bulletin No. 88-1 Issues
Related to Accounting for Leases
we have
determined that the recording of rental revenue associated with these leases
should be on a straight-line basis. As a result of this adjustment, our net
income will increase by $2.8 million, $1.9 million and $1.1 million for the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, net
accounts receivable and retained earnings will increase by $9.1 million and
$6.3
million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, to reflect the effects
of this adjustment from inception of the affected leases.

NOTE
16- SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS (UNAUDITED)
We
have
set forth selected quarterly financial data for the years ended December 31,
2005 and 2004. As discussed in Note 15 - Restatement of Previously Issued
Financial Statements, we have restated results for the years ended December
31,
2005, 2004 and 2003. Because certain of the data set forth in the following
tables varies from amounts previously reported on Form 10-Q for the respective
periods, the following tables reconcile the amounts given with those previously
reported.
The
following tables summarize quarterly results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2005 (in thousands except per share amounts):

Note:
2005
-
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, we recognized a $0.3 million
expense associated with restricted stock awards issued during this period,
and a
$3.7 million provision for impairment charge was recorded to reduce the carrying
value on two facilities to their estimated fair value. During the three-month
period ended June 30, 2005, we redeemed all of the outstanding 2.0 million
shares of our Series B Preferred Stock. As a result, the repurchase of the
Series B Preferred Stock resulted in a non-cash charge to net income available
to common stockholders of approximately $2.0 million. In addition, we recognized
a $0.3 million expense associated with restricted stock awards issued during
this period, an $0.8 million lease expiration accrual relating to disputed
capital improvement requirements associated with a lease that expired June
30,
2005 and a $3.4 million provision for impairment to write-down our 760,000
share
investment in Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. common stock to its current fair market
value. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, we recognized
a
$0.3 million expense associated with restricted stock awards issued during
this
period. In addition, we recorded a $5.5 million provision for impairment charge
to reduce the carrying value of three facilities to their estimated fair value.
During the three-month period ended December 31, 2005, we recognized a $0.5
million non-cash provision for impairment and $0.3 million of restricted stock
amortization. In addition, we recorded a $1.6 million of net cash proceeds
associated with a settlement of a lawsuit of the Company filed against a former
tenant.

Note:
2004
-
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, we completed a repurchase
and conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock which resulted in a non-cash
charge to net income available to common stockholders of approximately $38.7
million. In addition, we recognized $19.1 million of refinancing-related
charges. We sold our $200 million interest rate cap in the first quarter,
realizing net proceeds of approximately $3.5 million, resulting in an accounting
loss of $6.5 million. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2004, we
redeemed all of the outstanding 2.3 million shares of our Series A Preferred
Stock. As a result, the repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock resulted
in a
non-cash charge to net income available to common stockholders of approximately
$2.3 million. In addition, we recognized a $3.0 million charge associated with
professional liability claims made against our former owned and operated
facilities. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, we
recognized a $0.3 million expense associated with restricted stock awards issued
during this period. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2004,
we
recognized a $1.1 million expense associated with restricted stock awards,
and
we sold our remaining three closed facilities, realizing proceeds of
approximately $5.5 million, net of closing costs and other expenses, resulting
in a gain of approximately $3.8 million.

NOTE
1 – BASIS
OF
PRESENTATION
Business
Overview
We
have
one reportable segment consisting of investments in real estate. Our business
is
to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with
a
particular focus on skilled nursing facilities located in the United States.
Our
core portfolio consists of long-term lease and mortgage agreements. All of
our
leases are “triple-net” leases, which require the tenants to pay all
property-related expenses. Our mortgage revenue derives from fixed-rate mortgage
loans, which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate
and personal property of the mortgagor. Substantially all depreciation expenses
reflected in the consolidated statements of operations relate to the ownership
of our investment in real estate.
Restated
Financial Data
We
have
restated certain historical results in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements to correct errors in previously reported amounts related to income
tax matters and certain debt and equity investments in Advocat Inc. (“Advocat”),
as well as to record certain straight-line rental income. See Note 2 – Restatement
of
Previously Issued Financial Statements.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Omega Healthcare
Investors, Inc. (“Omega” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our
opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain reclassifications
have been made to the 2005 financial statements for consistency with the
presentation adopted for 2006. Such reclassifications have no effect on
previously reported earnings or equity.
Operating
results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 are
not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 2005.
Our
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Omega, all direct
and
indirect wholly owned subsidiaries and one variable interest entity (“VIE”) for
which we are the primary beneficiary. All inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation of the financial
statements.
FAS
123R Adoption
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FAS No.
123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment
(“FAS
No. 123R”), which is a revision of FAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation. FAS
No.
123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees,
and
amends FAS No. 95, Statement
of Cash Flows.
We
adopted FAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006.
FIN
46R
Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities,
(“FIN
46R”), addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of VIEs. As a result
of the adoption of FIN 46R, we consolidate all VIEs for which we are the primary
beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following
characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient
to
permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated
financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk
lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through
voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses
of
the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of
the
entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional
to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities
either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has
disproportionately few voting rights. FIN 46R requires a VIE to be consolidated
in the financial statements of the entity that is determined to be the primary
beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary generally is the entity that
will receive a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receive a majority of the
VIE’s expected residual returns, or both.

In
accordance with FIN 46R, we determined that we were the primary beneficiary
of
one VIE. This VIE is derived from a financing relationship entered into between
Omega and one company that is engaged in the ownership and rental of six skilled
nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and one assisted living facility (“ALF”). The
consolidation of the VIE as of September 30, 2006 resulted in an increase in
our
consolidated total assets (primarily real estate) and liabilities (primarily
indebtedness) of approximately $37.8 million. The creditors of the VIE do not
have recourse to our assets.
FIN
48 Evaluation
In
July
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(“FIN
48”). FIN 48 is an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes,
and it
seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of
measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. In addition, FIN
48
requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes
and
is effective as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year. We are currently
evaluating the impact, if any, that FIN 48 will have on our financial
statements.
NOTE
2 – RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Summary
of Restatement Items
Our
Board
of Directors, including our Audit Committee, concluded on October 24, 2006,
to
restate certain historical results to correct errors in previously reported
amounts related to tax matters and asset values, as well as to record certain
straight-line rental income audited financial results as of December 31, 2005
and 2004 and for the three years ended December 1, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and
for
other periods affected, including our unaudited financial statements for each
quarterly period in 2004, 2005 and 2006 as necessary. As a result, we have
previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) amendments
to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2005 and
our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three-month periods ended March
31,
2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively, reflecting the restated matters (the
“Restatement”). The Restatement reflects the following adjustments that affect
the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2005:
1.
|
We
recorded asset values for securities received from Advocat (and the
increases therein) since the completion of the restructuring of Advocat
obligations pursuant to leases and mortgages for the facilities then
operated by Advocat in 2000. These adjustments increased net income
by
$0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, respectively. These adjustments increased total
assets
by $5.4 million as of December 31, 2005. Changes in the fair value
of the
securities not currently recognized in net income were reflected
in other
comprehensive income.
|
2.
|
As
a result of our holdings of Advocat securities, we recorded reserves
related to a potential tax liability arising from our ownership of
such
securities. This tax liability along with related interest expense
had not
been previously accrued for and this adjustment decreased net income
by
$0.6 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, respectively. The amount accrued represents the
estimated liability, which remains subject to final resolution and
therefore is subject to change.
|
3.
|
Subsequent
to October 25, 2006, we made a correction to our accounting for certain
leases because these leases contain provisions (such as increases
in rent
based on the lesser of a fixed amount or two times the Consumer Price
Index (“CPI”)) that require us to record rental income on a straight-line
basis subject to an appropriate evaluation of collectibility. We
had not
previously recorded rental income on these leases on a straight-line
basis. As a result of this adjustment, our net income increased by
$0.8
million and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September
30,
2005, respectively. In addition, net accounts receivable and retained
earnings increased by $9.1 million as of December 31, 2005, to reflect
the
effects of this adjustment from inception of the affected
leases.
|
Additional
information about the decision to restate these financial statements can be
found in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 25,
2006.

Events
Causing the Restatement - Advocat Restructuring
In
November 2000, Advocat, an operator of various skilled nursing facilities owned
by or mortgaged to us, was in default on its obligations to us. As a result,
we
entered into an agreement with Advocat with respect to the restructuring of
Advocat’s obligations pursuant to leases and mortgages for the facilities then
operated by Advocat (the “Initial Advocat Restructuring”). As part of the
Initial Advocat Restructuring in 2000, Advocat issued to us (i) 393,658 shares
of Advocat’s Series B non-voting, redeemable (on or after September 30, 2007),
convertible preferred stock, which was convertible into up to 706,576 shares
of
Advocat’s common stock (representing 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Advocat’s
common stock on a fully diluted, as-converted basis and accruing dividends
at 7%
per annum), and (ii) a secured convertible subordinated note in the amount
of
$1.7 million bearing interest at 7% per annum with a September 30, 2007
maturity.
Subsequent
to the Initial Advocat Restructuring, Advocat’s operations and financial
condition have improved and there has been a significant increase in the market
value of Advocat’s common stock from approximately $0.31 per share at the time
of the Initial Advocat Restructuring to the closing price on October 20, 2006
of
$18.84. As a result of the significant increase in the value of the common
stock
underlying the Series B preferred stock of Advocat held by us, on October 20,
2006 we again restructured our relationship with Advocat (the “Second Advocat
Restructuring”) by entering into a Restructuring Stock Issuance and Subscription
Agreement with Advocat (the “2006 Advocat Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2006
Advocat Agreement, we exchanged the Advocat Series B preferred stock and
subordinated note issued in the Initial Advocat Restructuring for 5,000 shares
of Advocat’s Series C non-convertible, redeemable (at our option after September
30, 2010) preferred stock with a face value of approximately $4.9 million and
a
dividend rate of 7% payable quarterly, and a secured non-convertible
subordinated note in the amount of $2.5 million maturing September 30, 2007
and
bearing interest at 7% per annum. As part of the Second Advocat Restructuring,
we also amended our Consolidated Amended and Restated Master Lease by and
between one of our subsidiaries, as lessor, and a subsidiary of Advocat, as
lessee, to commence a new 12-year lease term through September 30, 2018 (with
a
renewal option for an additional 12 year term) and Advocat has agreed to
increase the master lease annual rent by approximately $687,000 to approximately
$14 million commencing on January 1, 2007.
Management
believes that certain of the terms of the Advocat Series B preferred stock
previously held by us could be interpreted as affecting our compliance with
federal income tax rules applicable to real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)
regarding related party tenant income as described below.
In
2000
at the time of the Initial Advocat Restructuring, we determined that no value
should be ascribed to the Advocat preferred stock and subordinated note and,
as
a result, no value was recorded on our financial statements at that time or
in
any subsequent period. Management now believes that the accounting treatment
in
previous periods was incorrect and, in addition to the related party tenant
issues described below, the Restatement reflects the appropriate carrying value
(in accordance with FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (“FAS
No.
115”)) of the Advocat preferred stock of $4.6 million and $4.3 million and an
embedded derivative (in accordance with FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(“FAS
No. 133”)) of $9.0 million and $1.1 million on our restated balance sheets as of
June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. In addition, in accordance
with FASB Statement No. 114, Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan
(“FAS
No. 114”), the Advocat subordinated note of $1.7 million was fully reserved at
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
The
market value for Advocat’s common stock has increased significantly since the
completion of the Initial Advocat Restructuring. In connection with exploring
the potential disposition of the Advocat Series B preferred stock as part of
the
Second Advocat Restructuring, we were advised by our tax counsel that due to
the
structure of the Initial Advocat Restructuring, Advocat may be deemed to be
a
“related party tenant” under applicable federal income tax rules and, in such
event, rental income from Advocat would not be qualifying income under the
gross
income tests that are applicable to REITs.
In
order
to maintain qualification as a REIT, we annually must satisfy certain tests
regarding the source of our gross income. The applicable federal income tax
rules provide a “savings clause” for REITs that fail to satisfy the REIT gross
income tests, if such failure is due to reasonable cause. A REIT that qualifies
for the savings clause will retain its REIT status but will pay a tax under
section 857(b)(5) and related interest.
We
currently plan to submit to the IRS a request for a closing agreement to resolve
the “related party tenant” issue. While we believe there are valid arguments
that Advocat should not be deemed a “related party tenant,” the matter is not
free from doubt, and we believe it is in our best interest to request a closing
agreement in order to resolve the matter, minimize potential interest charges
and obtain assurances regarding its continuing REIT status. By submitting a
request for a closing agreement, we intend to establish that any failure to
satisfy the gross income tests was due to reasonable cause. In the event that
it
is determined that the “savings clause” described above does not apply, we could
be treated as having failed to qualify as a REIT for one or more taxable years.
If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT for any taxable year, our income
will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we could be disqualified as a
REIT
for the following four taxable years.

Unaudited
September
30, 2006
As
noted
above, we have completed the Second Advocat Restructuring and have been advised
by tax counsel that we will not receive any non-qualifying related party tenant
income from Advocat in future fiscal years. Accordingly, we do not expect to
incur tax expense associated with related party tenant income in future periods
commencing January 1, 2007. We will continue to accrue an income tax liability
related to this matter during 2006.
Recording
of Rental Income
During
the course of preparing the Restatement due to the issues related to Advocat
described above, we determined that we should correct our accounting for certain
leases because these leases contain provisions (such as increases in rent based
on the lesser of a fixed amount or two times CPI) that require us to record
rental income on a straight-line basis subject to an appropriate evaluation
of
collectibility. Historically, we have recorded rental income for leases with
these provisions based on contractual scheduled rent payments, rather than
on a
straight-line basis. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (“SFAS”) No. 13, Accounting
for Leases
and
Financial Accounting Standards Board Technical Bulletin No. 88-1 Issues
Related to Accounting for Leases,
we have
determined that the recording of rental revenue associated with these leases
should be on a straight-line basis. As a result of this adjustment, our net
income
will
increase by $1.1 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, respectively. In addition, accounts receivable and retained
earnings will increase by $9.1 million as of December 31, 2005, to reflect
the
effects of this adjustment from inception of the affected leases.

NOTE
3 – PROPERTIES
In
the
ordinary course of our business activities, we periodically evaluate investment
opportunities and extend credit to customers. We also regularly engage in lease
and loan extensions and modifications. Additionally, we actively monitor and
manage our investment portfolio with the objectives of improving credit quality
and increasing returns. In connection with portfolio management, we may engage
in various collection and foreclosure activities.
If
we
acquire real estate pursuant to a foreclosure, lease termination or bankruptcy
proceeding and do not immediately re-lease or sell the properties to new
operators, the assets will be included on the balance sheet as “foreclosed real
estate properties,” and the value of such assets is reported at the lower of
cost or estimated fair value.

Leased
Property
Our
leased real estate properties, represented by 227 long-term care facilities
and
two rehabilitation hospitals at September 30, 2006, are leased under provisions
of single leases and master leases with initial terms typically ranging from
5
to 15 years, plus renewal options. Substantially all of our leases contain
provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year
and
are generally computed in one of three methods depending on specific provisions
of each lease as follows: (i) a specific annual increase over the prior year’s
rent, generally 2.5%; (ii) an increase based on the change in pre-determined
formulas from year to year (i.e., such as increases in the CPI); or (iii)
specific dollar increases over prior years. Under the terms of the leases,
the
lessee is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on
the
leased properties.
Set
forth
below is a summary of the transactions that occurred in the nine months ended
September 30, 2006.
Litchfield
Transaction
On
August
1, 2006, we completed a transaction with Litchfield Investment Company, LLC
and
its affiliates (“Litchfield”) to purchase 30 skilled nursing facilities and one
independent living center for a total investment of approximately $171 million.
The facilities total 3,847 beds and are located in the states of Colorado (5),
Florida (7), Idaho (1), Louisiana (13), and Texas (5). The facilities were
subject to master leases with three national healthcare providers, which are
existing tenants of the Company. The tenants are Home Quality Management, Inc.
(“HQM”), Nexion Health, Inc. (“Nexion”), and Peak Medical Corporation, which was
acquired by Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Sun”) in December of 2005. We used a
combination of cash on hand and $150 million of credit facility borrowings
to
finance the Litchfield transaction.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS –

Simultaneously
with the close of the purchase transaction, the seven HQM facilities were
combined into an Amended and Restated Master Lease containing 13 facilities
between us and HQM. In addition, the 18 Nexion facilities were combined into
an
Amended and Restated Master Lease containing 22 facilities between us and
Nexion.
We
entered into a Master Lease, Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Litchfield
on the six Sun facilities. These six facilities are currently under a master
lease that expires on September 30, 2007.
Guardian
LTC Management, Inc.
On
September 1, 2006, we completed a $25.0 million investment with subsidiaries
of
Guardian LTC Management, Inc. (“Guardian”), an existing operator of ours. The
transaction involved the purchase and leaseback of a skilled nursing facility
(“SNF”) in Pennsylvania and a termination of a purchase option on a combination
SNF and rehabilitation hospital in West Virginia owned by us. The facilities
were included in an existing master lease with Guardian with an increase in
contractual annual rent of approximately $2.6 million in the first year and
the
master lease now includes 17 facilities. In addition, the master lease term
was
extended from October 2014 through August 2016.
In
accordance with FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting
Leases
(“FAS
No. 13”) and FASB Technical Bulletin No. 88–1, Issues
Relating to Accounting for Leases
(“FASB
TB No. 88-1”), $19.2 million of the $25.0 million transaction amount will be
accounted for as a lease inducement and is classified within accounts receivable
- net on our consolidated balance sheet. The lease inducement will be amortized
as a reduction to rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the
new master lease. The remaining payment to Guardian of $5.8 million will be
allocated to the purchase of the Pennsylvania SNF.
Advocat,
Inc.
On
October 20, 2006, as part of the Second Advocat Restructuring, we amended our
master lease with Advocat to commence a new 12-year lease term through September
30, 2018 (with a renewal option for an additional 12 year term) and Advocat
agreed to increase the master lease annual rent by approximately $687,000 to
approximately $14 million commencing on January 1, 2007. See Note 2 –
Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements.
The
Second Advocat Restructuring will be accounted for as a new lease in accordance
with FAS No. 13 and FASB TB No. 88–1. The fair value of the assets exchanged in
the restructuring (i.e., the Series B non-voting redeemable convertible
preferred stock and the secured convertible subordinated note, with a fair
value
of $14.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, at October 20, 2006) in excess
of the fair value of the assets received (the Series C non-voting redeemable
non-convertible preferred stock and the secured non-convertible subordinated
note, with a fair value of $4.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, at
October 20, 2006) will be recorded as a lease inducement of approximately $10.8
million in the fourth quarter of 2006. The $10.8 million lease inducement asset
will be amortized as a reduction to rental income on a straight-line basis
over
the term of the new master lease. The exchange of securities will also result
in
a gain in the fourth quarter of 2006 of approximately $3.0 million representing:
(i) the fair value of the secured convertible subordinated note of $2.5 million,
previously reserved; (ii) the realization of the gain on investments previously
classified in other comprehensive income of approximately $1.1 million relating
to the Series B non-voting redeemable convertible preferred stock; and (iii)
a
loss of approximately $0.6 million resulting from the change in the fair
value of the embedded derivative from September 30, 2006 to October 20, 2006.
See also Note 8 – Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
Haven
Eldercare, LLC
·
|
During
the three months ended March 31, 2006, Haven Eldercare, LLC (“Haven”), an
existing operator of ours, entered into a $39 million first mortgage
loan
with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE Loan”). Haven used the $39
million of proceeds to partially repay on a $62 million mortgage
it has
with us. Simultaneously, we subordinated the payment of our remaining
$23
million of the mortgage note, due in October 2012, to that of the
GE Loan.
As a result of this transaction, the interest rate on our remaining
mortgage note to Haven rose from 10% to approximately 15%, with annual
escalators.
|
·
|
In
conjunction with the above transactions and the application of FIN
46R, we
consolidated the financial statements and related real estate of
this
Haven entity into our financial statements. The consolidation resulted
in
the following changes to our consolidated balance sheet as of September
30, 2006: (1) an increase in total gross investments of $39.0 million;
(2)
an increase in accumulated depreciation of $1.2 million; (3) an increase
in other long-term borrowings of $39.0 million; and (4) a reduction
of
$1.2 million in cumulative net earnings for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 due to the increased depreciation expense. General
Electric Capital Corporation and Haven’s other creditors do not have
recourse to our assets. We have an option to purchase the mortgaged
facilities for a fixed price in 2012. Our results of operations reflect
the effects of the consolidation of this entity, which is being accounted
for similarly to our other purchase-leaseback
transactions.

Mortgage
Notes Receivable
Mortgage
notes receivable relate to ten long-term care facilities. The mortgage notes
are
secured by first mortgage liens on the borrowers’ underlying real estate and
personal property. The mortgage notes receivable relate to facilities located
in
five states, operated by seven independent healthcare operating companies.
We
monitor compliance with mortgages and when necessary have initiated collection,
foreclosure and other proceedings with respect to certain outstanding loans.
As
of September 30, 2006, we had no foreclosed property, and none of our mortgages
were in foreclosure proceedings.
Mortgage
interest income is recognized as earned over the terms of the related mortgage
notes. Reserves are taken against earned revenues from mortgage interest when
collection of amounts due becomes questionable or when negotiations for
restructurings of troubled operators lead to lower expectations regarding
ultimate collection. When collection is uncertain, mortgage interest income
on
impaired mortgage loans is recognized as received after taking into account
application of security deposits.
Hickory
Creek Healthcare Foundation, Inc.
On
June
16, 2006, we received approximately $10 million in proceeds on a mortgage loan
payoff. We held mortgages on 15 facilities located in Indiana, representing
619
beds.
Haven
Eldercare, LLC.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2006, Haven used the $39 million of proceeds
from the GE Loan to partially repay on a $62 million mortgage it has with us.
Simultaneously, we subordinated the payment of its remaining $23 million on
the
mortgage note to that of the GE Loan (see Note –3 Properties;
Leased Property, above).
NOTE
4 – CONCENTRATION OF RISK
As
of
September 30, 2006, our portfolio of domestic investments consisted of 241
healthcare facilities, located in 27 states and operated by 33 third-party
operators. Our gross investment in these facilities, net of impairments and
before reserve for uncollectible loans, totaled approximately $1.3 billion
at
September 30, 2006, with approximately 98% of our real estate investments
related to long-term care facilities. This portfolio is made up of 227 long-term
healthcare facilities, two rehabilitation hospitals owned and leased to third
parties, fixed rate mortgages on 10 long-term healthcare facilities and two
facilities held for sale. At September 30, 2006, we also held miscellaneous
investments of approximately $37 million, consisting primarily of secured loans
to third-party operators of our facilities.
At
September 30, 2006, approximately 25% of our real estate investments were
operated by two public companies: Sun (17%) and Advocat (8%). Our largest
private company operators (by investment) were CommuniCare Health Services,
Inc.
(“CommuniCare”) (15%), Haven (9%), HQM (8%), Guardian (7%), Nexion (6%) and
Essex Healthcare Corporation (6%). No other operator represents more than 4%
of
our investments. The three states in which we had our highest concentration
of
investments were Ohio (22%), Florida (14%) and Pennsylvania (9%) at September
30, 2006.
For
the
three-month period ended September 30, 2006, our revenues from operations
totaled $35.2 million, of which approximately $6.6 million were from Sun (19%),
$5.1 million from CommuniCare (14%) and $3.7 million from Advocat (10%). For
the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, our revenues from operations totaled
$99.8 million, of which approximately $18.2 million were from Sun (18%), $15.2
million from CommuniCare (15%) and $10.8 million from Advocat (11%). No other
operator generated more than 10% of our revenues from operations for the three-
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006.
Sun
and
Advocat are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC and are required
to
file with the SEC annual reports containing audited financial information and
quarterly reports containing unaudited interim financial information. Sun’s and
Advocat’s filings with the SEC can be found at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
We are providing this data for information purposes only, and you are encouraged

5 - DIVIDENDS
In
order
to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends (other than
capital gain dividends) to our stockholders in an amount at least equal to
(A)
the sum of (i) 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (computed without regard to the
dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain), and (ii) 90% of the net
income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (B) the sum of
certain items of non-cash income. In addition, if we dispose of any built-in
gain asset during a recognition period, we will be required to distribute at
least 90% of the built-in gain (after tax), if any, recognized on the
disposition of such asset. Such distributions must be paid in the taxable year
to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if declared before we
timely file our tax return for such year and paid on or before the first regular
dividend payment after such declaration. In addition, such distributions are
required to be made pro rata, with no preference to any share of stock as
compared with other shares of the same class, and with no preference to one
class of stock as compared with another class except to the extent that such
class is entitled to such a preference. To the extent that we do not distribute
all of our net capital gain or do distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%
of
our “REIT taxable income,” as adjusted, we will be subject to tax thereon at
regular ordinary and capital gain corporate tax rates. In addition, our $200
million revolving senior secured credit facility (“Credit Facility”) has certain
financial covenants that limit the distribution of dividends paid during a
fiscal quarter to no more than 95% of our aggregate cumulative funds from
operations (“FFO”) as defined in the loan agreement governing the Credit
Facility (the “Loan Agreement”), unless a greater distribution is required to
maintain REIT status. The Loan Agreement defines FFO as net income (or loss)
plus depreciation and amortization and shall be adjusted for charges related
to:
(i) restructuring our debt; (ii) redemption of preferred stock; (iii) litigation
charges up to $5.0 million; (iv) non-cash charges for accounts and notes
receivable up to $5.0 million; (v) non-cash compensation related expenses;
(vi)
non-cash impairment charges; and (vii) tax liabilities in an amount not to
exceed $8.0 million.

NOTE
6 –
TAXES
So
long
as we qualify as a REIT and, among other things, we distribute 90% of our
taxable income, we will not be subject to Federal income taxes on our income,
except as described below. We are permitted to own up to 100% of a “taxable REIT
subsidiary” (“TRS”). Currently, we have two TRSs that are taxable as
corporations and that pay federal, state and local income tax on their net
income at the applicable corporate rates. These TRSs had net operating loss
carry-forwards as of September 30, 2006 of $11.6 million. These loss
carry-forwards were fully reserved with a valuation allowance due to
uncertainties regarding realization.
During
the fourth quarter of 2006, we determined that certain terms of the Advocat
Series B non-voting, redeemable convertible preferred stock could be interpreted
as affecting our compliance with federal income tax rules applicable to REITs
regarding related party tenant income. As such, Advocat, one of our lessees,
may
be deemed to be a “related party tenant” under applicable federal income tax
rules. In such event, our rental income from Advocat would not be qualifying
income under the gross income tests that are applicable to REITs. In order
to
maintain qualification as a REIT, we annually must satisfy certain tests
regarding the source of our gross income. The applicable federal income tax
rules provide a “savings clause” for REITs that fail to satisfy the REIT gross
income tests if such failure is due to reasonable cause. A REIT that qualifies
for the savings clause will retain its REIT status but will pay a tax under
section 857(b)(5) and related interest. We currently plan to submit to the
IRS a
request for a closing agreement to resolve the “related party tenant” issue.
While we believe there are valid arguments that Advocat should not be deemed
a
“related party tenant,” the matter is not free from doubt, and we believe it is
in our best interest to request a closing agreement in order to resolve the
matter, minimize potential interest charges and obtain assurances regarding
our
continuing REIT status. By submitting a request for a closing agreement, we
intend to establish that any failure to satisfy the gross income tests was
due
to reasonable cause (see Note 2 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial
Statements). In the event that it is determined that the “savings clause”
described above does not apply, we could be treated as having failed to qualify
as a REIT for one or more taxable years. If we fail to qualify for taxation
as a
REIT for any taxable year, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates,
and we could be disqualified as a REIT for the following four taxable
years.
As
a
result of the potential related party tenant issue described above and further
discussed in Note 2 - Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements, we have recorded a $0.6
million and $1.7 million provision for income taxes,
including related interest expense,
for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and $0.6 million
and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
respectively.
The
amount accrued represents the estimated liability and interest, which remains
subject to final resolution and therefore is subject to change. In addition,
in
October 2006, we restructured our Advocat relationship and have been advised
by
tax counsel that we will not receive any non-qualifying related party tenant
income from Advocat in future fiscal years. Accordingly, we do not expect to
incur tax expense associated with related party tenant income in future periods
commencing January 1, 2007. We will continue to accrue an income tax liability
related to this matter during 2006.
NOTE
7 –
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock
Options
Prior
to
January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock based compensation using the intrinsic
value method as defined by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted FAS No. 123R using the modified
prospective method. Accordingly, we have not restated prior period amounts.
The
additional expense to be recorded in 2006 as a result of this adoption is
approximately $3 thousand. Under the provisions of FAS No. 123R, the
“Unamortized restricted stock awards” line on our consolidated balance sheet, a
contra-equity line representing the amount of unrecognized share-based
compensation costs, is no longer presented. Accordingly, for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006, the amount that had been on the “Unamortized
restricted stock awards” line was reversed through the “Common stock and
additional paid-in-capital” line on our consolidated balance sheet.
Under
the
terms of our 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”), we reserved 3,500,000
shares of common stock. The exercise price per share of an option under the
2000
Plan cannot be reduced after the date of grant, nor can an option be cancelled
in exchange for an option with a lower exercise price per share. The 2000 Plan
provides for non-employee directors to receive options that vest over three
years while other grants vest over the period required in the agreement
applicable to the individual recipient. Directors, officers, employees and
consultants are eligible to participate in the 2000 Plan. At September 30,
2006,
there were outstanding options for 52,581 shares of common stock granted to
eight eligible participants under the 2000 Plan. Additionally, 355,655 shares
of
restricted stock have been granted under the provisions of the 2000 Plan, and
as
of September 30, 2006, there were no shares of unvested restricted stock
outstanding under the 2000 Plan.

April
20, 2004, our Board of Directors approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the
“2004 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by our stockholders at our annual
meeting held on June 3, 2004. Under the terms of the 2004 Plan, we reserved
3,000,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price per share of an option
under the 2004 Plan cannot be less than fair market value (as defined in the
2004 Plan) on the date of grant. The exercise price per share of an option
under
the 2004 Plan cannot be reduced after the date of grant, nor can an option
be
cancelled in exchange for an option with a lower exercise price per share.
Directors, officers, employees and consultants are eligible to participate
in
the 2004 Plan. As of September 30, 2006, a total of 350,480 shares of restricted
stock and 317,500 restricted stock units have been granted under the 2004 Plan,
and as of September 30, 2006, there were no outstanding options to purchase
shares of common stock under the 2004 Plan.
At
September 30, 2006, the only options outstanding to purchase shares of our

Restricted
Stock
On
September 10, 2004, we entered into restricted stock agreements with four
executive officers under the 2004 Plan. A total of 317,500 shares of restricted
stock were granted, which equated to approximately $3.3 million of deferred
compensation. The shares vest thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%)
on
each of January 1, 2005, January 1, 2006 and January 1, 2007 so long as the
executive officer remains employed on the vesting date, with vesting
accelerating upon a qualifying termination of employment or upon the occurrence
of a change of control (as defined in the applicable restricted stock
agreements). As a result of the grant, we recorded $0.3 million and $0.8 million
of non-cash compensation expense for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

September
30, 2006
For
the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, we issued 2,179 shares of restricted
common stock to each non-employee director and an additional 2,000 shares of
restricted common stock to the Chairman of the Board under the 2004 Plan for
a
total of 12,895 shares. These shares represent a payment of the portion of
the
directors’ annual retainer that is payable in shares of our common
stock.
As
of
September 30, 2006, there was $377 thousand of total unrecognized compensation
cost related to these restricted stock awards.
Performance
Restricted Stock Units
On
September 10, 2004, we entered into performance restricted stock unit agreements
with our four executive officers under the 2004 Plan. A total of 317,500
restricted stock units were issued under the 2004 Plan and will fully vest
into
shares of common stock when our company attains $0.30 per share of adjusted
funds from operations (as defined in the applicable restricted stock unit
agreements), (“AFFO”) for two (2) consecutive quarters, with vesting
accelerating upon a qualifying termination of employment or upon the occurrence
of a change of control (as defined in the applicable restricted stock unit
agreements). The performance restricted stock units expire on December 31,
2007
if the performance criteria has not been met. Under our current method of
accounting for stock-based compensation, the expense related to the restricted
stock units will be recognized when it becomes probable that the vesting
requirements will be met.
As
of
September 30, 2006, we have achieved the vesting target as defined in the 2004
Plan, and therefore, in accordance with FAS No. 123R (i.e., compensation expense
for a performance-based stock award shall be recognized when the satisfaction
of
the performance conditions that cause the award to vest are probable to occur),
we have recorded approximately $3.3 million for the three and nine months ending
September 30, 2006 as compensation expense associated with the performance
restricted stock units.
In
accordance with FASB
Statement No. 128, Earnings
per Share,
(“FAS
No. 128”), the
restricted stock unit shares are included in the computation of basic EPS on
a
weighted-average basis. In addition, in accordance with FAS No. 128, all of
the
317,500 restricted stock units are included in diluted EPS as of September
30,
2006, as we have achieved all necessary conditions for the vesting of the
restricted units for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. See Note 12 -
Earnings per Share.
NOTE
8 – INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES
Marketable
securities classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be
other-than-temporary on securities held as available-for-sale are included
in
investment income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method. If events or circumstances indicate that the fair value
of an investment has declined below its carrying value and we consider the
decline to be “other than temporary,” the investment is written down to fair
value and an impairment loss is recognized.
At
September 30, 2006, we had the following marketable security:
Advocat
Subordinated Debt and Convertible Preferred Stock Investments
·
|
Under
our 2000 restructuring agreement with Advocat, we received the following:
(i) 393,658 shares of Advocat’s Series B non-voting, redeemable (on or
after September 30, 2007), convertible preferred stock, which was
convertible into up to 706,576 shares of Advocat’s common stock
(representing 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Advocat’s common stock on
a fully diluted, as-converted basis and accruing dividends at 7%
per
annum); and (ii) a secured convertible subordinated note in the amount
of
$1.7 million bearing interest at 7% per annum with a September 30,
2007
maturity (see Note 2 - Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements).

In
accordance with FAS No. 115, the Advocat Series B security is a compound
financial instrument. The embedded derivative value of the conversion
feature is recorded separately at fair market value in accordance
with FAS
No. 133. The non-derivative portion of the security is classified
as an
available-for-sale investment and is stated at its fair value with
unrealized gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2006, we
recorded an adjustment of $0.2 million and $0.8 million to other
comprehensive income, respectively, and for the three- and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2005, we recorded an adjustment of $0.3
million and $1.0 million to other comprehensive income, respectively,
to
adjust the non-derivative portion of the Advocat security to its
then
current fair market value.

In
accordance with FASB No. 114 and FASB Statement No. 118, Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures,
the Advocat secured convertible subordinated note is fully reserved
and
accounted for using the cost-recovery method applying cash received
against the outstanding principal balance prior to recording interest
income.

Sun
Healthcare Common Stock Investment
·
|
Under
our 2004 restructuring agreement with Sun, we received the right
to
convert deferred base rent owed to us, totaling approximately $7.8
million, into 800,000 shares of Sun’s common stock, subject to certain
non-dilution provisions and the right of Sun to pay cash in an amount
equal to the value of that stock in lieu of issuing stock to
us.
|
·
|
On
March 30, 2004, we notified Sun of our intention to exercise our
right to
convert the deferred base rent into fully paid and non-assessable
shares
of Sun’s common stock. On April 16, 2004, we received a stock certificate
for 760,000 restricted shares of Sun’s common stock and cash in the amount
of approximately $0.5 million in exchange for the remaining 40,000
shares
of Sun’s common stock. On July 23, 2004, Sun registered these shares with
the SEC. We are accounting for the 760,000 shares received as “available
for sale” marketable securities with changes in market value recorded in
other comprehensive income.
|
·
|
During
the three months ended September 30, 2006, we sold our remaining
760,000
share of Sun’s common stock for approximately $7.6 million, realizing a
gain on the sale of these securities of approximately $2.7
million.

9 – FINANCING ACTIVITIES AND BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
Bank
Credit Agreements
At
September 30, 2006, we had $157.5 million outstanding under our $200 million
revolving senior secured credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) and $2.5
million was utilized for the issuance of letters of credit, leaving availability
of $40.0 million. The $157.5 million of outstanding borrowings had a blended
interest rate of 6.57% at September 30, 2006. The New Credit Facility, entered
into on March 31, 2006, is being provided by Bank of America, N.A., as
Administrative Agent, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, UBS Securities
LLC,
General Electric Capital Corporation, LaSalle Bank N.A., and Citicorp North
America, Inc. and will be used for acquisitions and general corporate
purposes.
The
New
Credit Facility replaced our previous $200 million senior secured credit
facility (the “Prior Credit Facility”), that was terminated on March 31, 2006.
We will realize a 125 basis point savings on LIBOR-based loans under the New
Credit Facility, as compared to LIBOR-based loans under our Prior Credit
Facility. The New Credit Facility matures on March 31, 2010, and includes an
“accordion feature” that permits us to expand our borrowing capacity to $300
million during our first two years.
For
the
three-month period ending March 31, 2006, we recorded a one-time, non-cash
charge of approximately $2.7 million relating to the write-off of deferred
financing costs associated with the termination of our Prior Credit
Facility.
Our
long-term borrowings require us to meet certain property level financial
covenants and corporate financial covenants, including prescribed leverage,
fixed charge coverage, minimum net worth, limitations on additional indebtedness
and limitations on dividend payouts. As of September 30, 2006, we were in
compliance with all property level and corporate financial
covenants.

On
October 23, 2006, we entered into a Second Amendment, Waiver and
Consent to Credit Agreement
(the
“Second Amendment”)
pursuant to which the lenders under the New Credit Facility waived any potential
misrepresentations and events of default
that
could have been caused by the Restatement.
$100
Million Aggregate Principal Amount of 6.95% Unsecured Notes Tender and
Redemption
On
December 16, 2005, we initiated a tender offer and consent solicitation for
all
of our outstanding $100 million aggregate principal amount 6.95% notes due
2007
(the “2007 Notes”). On December 30, 2005, we accepted for purchase 79.3% of the
aggregate principal amount of the 2007 Notes outstanding that were tendered.
On
December 30, 2005, our Board of Directors also authorized the redemption of
all
outstanding 2007 Notes that were not otherwise tendered. On December 30, 2005,
upon our irrevocable funding of the full redemption price for the 2007 Notes
and
certain other acts required by the Indenture governing the 2007 Notes, the
Trustee of the 2007 Notes certified in writing to us (the “Certificate of
Satisfaction and Discharge”) that the Indenture was satisfied and discharged as
of December 30, 2005, except for certain administrative provisions. In
accordance with FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of
Liabilities,
(“FAS
No. 140”) we removed 79.3% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2007 Notes,
which were tendered in our tender offer and consent solicitation, and the
corresponding portion of the funds held in trust by the Trustee to pay the
tender price from our balance sheet and recognized $2.8 million of additional
interest expense associated with the tender offer. On January 18, 2006, we
completed the redemption of the remaining 2007 Notes not otherwise tendered.
Accordingly, we reduced other assets, representing the funds deposited with
the
Trustee, and unsecured borrowings by $21 million. In connection with the
redemption and in accordance with FAS No. 140, we recognized $0.8 million of
additional interest expense in the first quarter of 2006. As of January 18,
2006, none of the 2007 Notes remained outstanding.
Other
Long-Term Borrowings
During
the three months ended March 31, 2006, Haven used the $39 million of proceeds
from the GE Loan to partially repay a portion of a $62 million mortgage it
has
with us. Simultaneously, we subordinated the payment of its remaining $23
million on the mortgage note to that of the GE Loan. In conjunction with the
above transactions and the application of FIN 46R, we consolidated the financial
statements of this Haven entity into our financial statements, which contained
the long-term borrowings with General Electric Capital Corporation of $39.0
million. The loan has an interest rate of approximately seven percent and is
due
in 2012. The lender of the $39.0 million does not have recourse to our assets
(see Note - 3 Properties; Leased Property).
NOTE
10 – LITIGATION
We
are
subject to various legal proceedings, claims and other actions arising out
of
the normal course of business. While any legal proceeding or claim has an
element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of each lawsuit,
claim or legal proceeding that is pending or threatened, or all of them
combined, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
We
and
several of our wholly-owned subsidiaries have been named as defendants in
professional liability claims related to our former owned and operated
facilities. Other third-party managers responsible for the day-to-day operations
of these facilities have also been named as defendants in these claims. In
these
suits, patients of certain previously owned and operated facilities have alleged
significant damages, including punitive damages against the defendants. The
majority of these lawsuits representing the most significant amount of exposure
were settled in 2004. There currently is one lawsuit pending that is in the
discovery stage, and we are unable to predict the likely outcome of this lawsuit
at this time.
NOTE
11 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
requires
the presentation of the net operating results of facilities sold during 2006
or
currently classified as held-for-sale as income from discontinued operations

NOTE
12 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
We
calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) in accordance with
FAS No. 128. The computation of basic EPS is computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted EPS is computed
using the treasury stock method, which is net income divided by the total
weighted-average number of common outstanding shares plus the effect of dilutive
common equivalent shares during the respective period. Dilutive common shares
reflect the assumed issuance of additional common shares pursuant to certain
of
our share-based compensation plans, including stock options, restricted stock
and restrictive stock units.
For
the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the dilutive
effect from stock options was immaterial.

$175
Million Aggregate Principal Amount of 7% Unsecured Notes
Issuance
On
December 30, 2005, we closed on a private offering of $175 million of 7% senior
unsecured notes due 2016 (“2016 Notes”) at an issue price of 99.109% of the
principal amount of the notes (equal to a per annum yield to maturity of
approximately 7.125%), resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $173.4
million. The underwriters for this offering were Deutsche Bank Securities,
Banc
of America Securities LLC and UBS Investment Bank. The 2016 Notes are unsecured
senior obligations to us, which have been guaranteed by our subsidiaries. The
2016 Notes were issued in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers
under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and thus
were exempt from registration. A portion of the proceeds of this private
offering was used to pay the tender price and redemption price of the 2007
Notes.
On
February 24, 2006, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 under the
Securities Act with the SEC offering to exchange up to $175 million aggregate
principal amount of our registered 7% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Exchange
Notes”), for all of our outstanding unregistered 2016 Notes. The terms of the
2016 Exchange Notes are identical to the terms of the 2016 Notes, except that
the 2016 Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act and therefore
freely tradable (subject to certain conditions). The 2016 Exchange Notes
represent our unsecured senior obligations and are guaranteed by all of our
subsidiaries with unconditional guarantees of payment that rank equally with
existing and future senior unsecured debt of such subsidiaries and senior to
existing and future subordinated debt of such subsidiaries. In April 2006,
upon
the expiration of the 2016 Notes Exchange Offer, $175 million aggregate
principal amount of 2016 Notes were exchanged for the 2016 Exchange
Notes.
$50
Million Aggregate Principal Amount of 7% Unsecured Notes
Issuance
On
December 2, 2005, we completed a privately placed offering of an additional
$50
million aggregate principal amount of 7% senior notes due 2014 (the “2014 Add-on
Notes”) at an issue price of 100.25% of the principal amount of the notes (equal
to a per annum yield to maturity of approximately 6.95%), resulting in gross
proceeds to us of approximately $50.1 million. The underwriters for this
offering were Deutsche Bank Securities, Banc of America Securities LLC and
UBS
Investment Bank. The terms of the 2014 Add-on Notes offered were substantially
identical to our existing $200 million aggregate principal amount of 7% senior
notes due 2014 issued in March 2004. The 2014 Add-on Notes were issued through
a
private placement to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the
Securities Act and thus were exempt from registration. After giving effect
to
the issuance of the $50 million aggregate principal amount of this offering,
we
had outstanding $310 million aggregate principal amount of 7% senior notes
due
2014.
II-1
On
February 24, 2006, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 under the
Securities Act with the SEC offering to exchange up to $50 million aggregate
principal amount of our registered 7% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Add-on
Exchange Notes”), for all of our outstanding unregistered 2014 Add-on Notes. The
terms of the 2014 Add-on Exchange Notes are identical to the terms of the 2014
Add-on Notes, except that the 2014 Add-on Exchange Notes are registered under
the Securities Act and therefore freely tradable (subject to certain
conditions). The 2014 Add-on Exchange Notes represent our unsecured senior
obligations and are guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries with unconditional
guarantees of payment that rank equally with existing and future senior
unsecured debt of such subsidiaries and senior to existing and future
subordinated debt of such subsidiaries. In May 2006, upon the expiration of
the
2014 Add-on Notes Exchange Offer, $50 million aggregate principal amount of
2014
Add-on Notes were exchanged for the 2014 Add-on Exchange Notes.
$60
Million 7% Senior Unsecured Notes Offering
On
October 29, 2004, we completed a privately placed offering of an additional
$60
million aggregate principal amount of 7% senior notes due 2014 (the “Additional
Notes”) at an issue price of 102.25% of the principal amount of the Additional
Notes (equal to a per annum yield to maturity of approximately 6.67%), resulting
in gross proceeds of approximately $61 million. The underwriters for this
offering were Deutsche Bank Securities, Banc of America Securities LLC and
UBS
Investment Bank. The terms of the Additional Notes offered were substantially
identical to our existing $200 million aggregate principal amount of 7% senior
notes due 2014 issued in March 2004. The Additional Notes were issued through
a
private placement to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the
Securities Act and in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under
the
Securities Act and thus were exempt from registration.
On
December 21, 2004, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 under the
Securities Act with the SEC offering to exchange (the “Additional Notes Exchange
Offer”) up to $60 million aggregate principal amount of our registered 7% Senior
Notes due 2014 (the “Additional Exchange Notes”), for all of our outstanding
unregistered Additional Notes. The terms of the Additional Exchange Notes are
identical to the terms of the Additional Notes, except that the Additional
Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act and therefore freely
tradable (subject to certain conditions). The Additional Exchange Notes
represent our unsecured senior obligations and are guaranteed by all of our
subsidiaries with unconditional guarantees of payment that rank equally with
existing and future senior unsecured debt of such subsidiaries and senior to
existing and future subordinated debt of such subsidiaries. In March 2005,
upon
the expiration of the Additional Notes Exchange Offer, $60 million aggregate
principal amount of Additional Notes were exchanged for the Additional Exchange
Notes.
$200
Million 7% Senior Unsecured Notes Offering
Effective
March 22, 2004, we closed a private offering of $200 million aggregate principal
amount of 7% senior unsecured notes due 2014 (the “Initial Notes”). The
underwriters for this offering were Deutsche Bank Securities, Banc of America
Securities LLC and UBS Investment Bank. We used proceeds from the offering
of
the Initial Notes to replace and terminate our prior credit facility. These
notes were issued through a private placement to qualified institutional buyers
under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and in offshore transactions pursuant
to Regulation S under the Securities Act and thus were exempt from
registration.
On
June
21, 2004, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4, as amended on July
26,
2004 and August 25, 2004, under the Securities Act with the SEC offering to
exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) up to $200 million aggregate principal amount of
our registered 7% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Exchange Notes”), for all of our
outstanding unregistered Initial Notes. In September 2004, upon the expiration
of the Exchange Offer, $200 million aggregate principal amount of Exchange
Notes
were exchanged for the unregistered Initial Notes. As a result of the Exchange
Offer, no Initial Notes remain outstanding. The terms of the Exchange Notes
are
identical to the terms of the Initial Notes, except that the Exchange Notes
are
registered under the Securities Act and therefore freely tradable (subject
to
certain conditions). The Exchange Notes represent our unsecured senior
obligations and have been guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries with
unconditional guarantees of payment that rank equally with existing and future
senior unsecured debt of such subsidiaries and senior to existing and future
subordinated debt of such subsidiaries. Following the completion of the Add-on
Notes Exchange Offer discussed above, the Add-on Notes Exchange Notes will
trade
together with the Exchange Notes and the Additional Exchange Notes as a single
class of securities.

Item
34. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The
articles of incorporation and bylaws of the registrant provide for
indemnification of directors and officers to the full extent permitted by
Maryland law.
Section
2-418 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland generally permits
indemnification of any director or officer with respect to any proceedings
unless it is established that: (a) the act or omission of the director or
officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was either
committed in bad faith or the result of active or deliberate dishonesty; (b)
the
director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money,
property or services; or (c) in the case of criminal proceedings, the director
or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was
unlawful. The indemnity may include judgments, penalties, fines, settlements,
and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director or officer in
connection with the proceedings; provided, however, that if the proceeding
is
one by, or in the right of, the corporation, indemnity is permitted only for
reasonable expenses and not with respect to any proceeding in which the director
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. The termination of
any
proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that
the director did not meet the requisite standard of conduct required for
permitted indemnification. The termination of any proceeding by conviction,
or
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation
prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the director or officer
did not meet that standard of conduct.
The
company has entered into indemnity agreements with the officers and directors
of
the company that provide that the company will, subject to certain conditions,
pay on behalf of the indemnified party any amount which the indemnified party
is
or becomes legally obligated to pay because of any act or omission or neglect
or
breach of duty, including any actual or alleged error or misstatement or
misleading statement, which the indemnified party commits or suffers while
acting in the capacity as an officer or director of the company.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is permitted
to directors and officers of the registrant pursuant to the above-described
provisions, the registrant understands that the Commission is of the opinion
that such indemnification contravenes federal public policy as expressed in
said
act and therefore is unenforceable.

Item
37. Undertakings.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To
file,
during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(a) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(b) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective
registration statement; and
(c) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement.
2. That,
for
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
3. To
remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
4. That,
for
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to
any
purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a
registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration
statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance
on
Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration
statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided
however,
that no
statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated
by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of
the
registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale
prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in
the
registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement
or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
The
undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
of
the registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the
underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the
securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the
purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
(a)
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating
to
the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(b) Any
free
writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned
registrant;
(c) The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided
by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(d) Any
other
communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of
such issue.
II-9
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose
of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of
Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and
regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
