Aviv REIT, Inc.

We have audited Aviv REIT, Inc.’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, and our report dated February 26, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2014

1. Description of Operations and Formation

Aviv REIT, Inc. (AVIV or the REIT), a Maryland corporation, is the sole general partner of Aviv Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, and its subsidiaries (the Partnership). The Partnership is a majority owned subsidiary that owns all of the real estate properties. In these footnotes, the Company refers generically to AVIV, the Partnership, and their subsidiaries. The Partnership was formed in 2010 and directly or indirectly owned or leased 346 properties, principally skilled nursing facilities, across the United States at December 31, 2014. The Company is a fully integrated self-administered company that owns, acquires, develops and generates the majority of its revenues by entering into long-term triple-net leases with qualified local, regional, and national operators. In addition to the base rent, leases provide for operators to pay the Company an ongoing escrow for real estate taxes. Furthermore, all operating and maintenance costs of the buildings are the responsibility of the operators. Substantially all depreciation expense reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income relates to the ownership of real estate properties.

The Partnership is the general partner of Aviv Healthcare Properties Operating Partnership I, L.P. (the Operating Partnership), a Delaware limited partnership, and Aviv Healthcare Capital Corporation, a Delaware company. The Operating Partnership has six wholly owned subsidiaries: Aviv Financing I, L.L.C. (Aviv Financing I), a Delaware limited liability company; Aviv Financing II, L.L.C. (Aviv Financing II), a Delaware limited liability company; Aviv Financing III, L.L.C. (Aviv Financing III), a Delaware limited liability company; Aviv Financing IV, L.L.C. (Aviv Financing IV), a Delaware limited liability company; Aviv Financing V, L.L.C. (Aviv Financing V), a Delaware limited liability company; and Aviv Financing VI, L.L.C. (Aviv Financing VI) , a Delaware limited liability company.

All of the business, assets and operations are held by the Partnership and its subsidiaries. The REIT’s equity interest in the Partnership is linked to future investments in the REIT, such that future equity issuances by the REIT (pursuant to the Partnership’s partnership agreement) will result in a corresponding increase in the REIT’s equity interest in the Partnership. The REIT is authorized to issue 300 million shares of common stock (par value $0.01) and 25 million shares of preferred stock (par value $0.01). The REIT was funded in September 2010 with 13.2 million shares and approximately $235 million from one of the REIT’s stockholders, and approximately 8.5 million additional shares of common stock were issued by the REIT in connection with $159 million equity contributions by one of the REIT’s stockholders. The Partnership’s capital consists of partnership units, which are referred to as OP units, that are owned by AVIV and other investors.

On March 7, 2013, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the REIT approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock to 300,000,000 shares of common stock and a 60.37-for-one split of issued and outstanding common stock. The increase in the authorized shares and the stock split became effective on March 8, 2013 when the REIT’s charter was amended for such increase in the number of authorized REIT shares and the stock split. The common share and per common share amounts in these consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively restated to reflect the 60.37-for-one split.

On March 26, 2013, the REIT completed an initial public offering (IPO) of its common stock pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC, which became effective on March 20, 2013. The Company received net proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions, of $282.3 million, exclusive of other costs of raising capital in consideration for the issuance and sale of approximately 15.2 million shares of common stock (which included approximately 2.0 million shares sold to the underwriters upon exercise of their option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments) at a price to the public of $20.00 per share. In connection with the IPO, the Partnership’s Class A, B, C, D, F and G Units were converted into a single class of OP units.

Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, there were outstanding approximately 21.7 million shares of common stock of the REIT, limited partnership units of the Partnership which were converted into approximately 11.9 million OP units in connection with the IPO, and 125 shares of preferred stock of the REIT. On April 15, 2013, the 125 shares of preferred stock outstanding were redeemed.

On April 9, 2014, the Company issued 9.2 million shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $221.7 million in a secondary underwritten public offering. At December 31, 2014, there were approximately 48.4 million shares of common stock outstanding and 10.3 million OP units outstanding which are redeemable for cash or, at the REIT’s election, for shares of common stock of the REIT. The operating results of the Partnership are allocated based upon the REIT’s and the limited partners’ respective economic interests therein. The REIT’s ownership of the Partnership was 82.5% as of December 31, 2014. The REIT’s weighted average economic ownership of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 were 79.8%, 74.0%, and 62.5%, respectively.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

This report combines the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 of AVIV and the Partnership. AVIV is a real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Partnership. Unless the context requires otherwise or except as otherwise noted, as used herein the words “we,” the “Company,” “us” and “our” refer to AVIV and AVIV’s controlled subsidiaries and the Partnership and the Partnership’s controlled subsidiaries collectively, as the operations of the two aforementioned entities are materially comparable for the periods presented.

AVIV is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the general partner of the Partnership. The Partnership’s capital is comprised of units of beneficial interest, or OP units. As of December 31, 2014, AVIV owned 82.5% of the economic interest in the Partnership, with the remaining interest being owned by investors. Investors may redeem their OP units for cash or, at the election of AVIV, for shares of AVIV’s common stock, on a one-for-one basis. As the sole general partner of the Partnership, AVIV has exclusive control of the Partnership’s day-to-day management.

The Company believes combining the Annual Reports on Form 10-K of AVIV and the Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

Management operates AVIV and the Partnership as one business. The management of AVIV consists of the same employees as the management of the Partnership.

The Company believes it is important for investors to understand the few differences between AVIV and the Partnership in the context of how AVIV and the Partnership operate as a consolidated company. AVIV is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of OP units of the Partnership. As a result, AVIV does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing unsecured debt of the Partnership. AVIV has not issued any indebtedness, but has guaranteed all of the unsecured debt of the Partnership. The Partnership indirectly holds all the real estate assets of the Company. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by AVIV, which are contributed to the Partnership in exchange for OP units, the Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include the Partnership’s operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of OP units.

As general partner with control of the Partnership, AVIV consolidates the Partnership for financial reporting purposes. The presentation of stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of AVIV and those of the Partnership. AVIV’s stockholders’ equity is comprised of common stock, additional paid in capital and retained earnings (accumulated deficit). The Partnership’s capital is comprised of OP units that are owned by AVIV and the other partners. The OP units held by the limited partners (other than AVIV) in the Partnership are presented as part of partners’ capital in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and as “noncontrolling interests-operating partnership” in AVIV’s consolidated financial statements. There is no difference between the assets and liabilities of AVIV and the Partnership as of December 31, 2014. Net income is the same for AVIV and the Partnership.

In order to highlight the few differences between AVIV and the Partnership, there are sections in this report that discuss AVIV and the Partnership separately, including separate financial statements and controls and procedures sections. In the sections that combine disclosure for AVIV and the Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Partnership is generally the entity that enters into contracts, holds assets and issues debt, we believe that reference to the Company in this context is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Company operates the business through the Partnership.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified with no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company manages its business as a single business segment as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 280, Segment Reporting. The Company has one reportable segment consisting of investments in healthcare properties, consisting primarily

of skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs, assisted living facilities, or ALFs, and other healthcare properties located in the United States. All of the Company’s properties generate similar types of revenues and expenses related to tenant rent and reimbursements and operating expenses.

Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in United States banking institutions that exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company believes the risk of loss from exceeding this insured level is minimal.

Real Estate Investments

The Company periodically assesses the carrying value of real estate investments and related intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (ASC 360), to determine if facts and circumstances exist that would suggest that assets might be impaired or that the useful lives should be modified. In the event impairment in value occurs and a portion of the carrying amount of the real estate investments will not be recovered in part or in whole, a provision will be recorded to reduce the carrying basis of the real estate investments and related intangibles to their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s rental properties is determined by using customary industry standard methods that include discounted cash flow and/or direct capitalization analysis (Level 3) or estimated cash proceeds received upon the anticipated disposition of the asset from market comparables (Level 2). As part of the impairment evaluation, the buildings in the following locations were impaired to reflect the estimated fair values (Level 2).

Buildings and building improvements are recorded at cost and have been assigned useful lives up to 40-years and are depreciated on the straight-line method. Personal property, furniture, and equipment have been assigned estimated useful lives up to 10 years and are depreciated on the straight-line method.

The Company may advance monies to its lessees for the purchase, generally, of furniture, fixtures, or equipment or other purposes. Required minimum lease payments due from the lessee increase to provide for the repayment of such amounts over a stated term. These advances in the instance where the depreciable life of the newly purchased asset is less than the remaining lease term are reflected as loan receivables on the consolidated balance sheets, and the incremental lease payments are bifurcated between principal and interest over the stated term. In the instance where the depreciable life of the newly purchased assets is longer than the remaining

lease term, the purchase is recorded as property when such assets are deemed to be owned by the Company. In other instances, explicit secured loans are made to lessees for working capital and other funding needs and provide for monthly principal and interest payments generally ranging from five to 10 years.

Purchase Accounting

The Company allocates the purchase price of facilities between net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Company purchasing the business and subsequently leasing the business to unrelated third party operators. The Company makes estimates of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and acquired liabilities using information obtained from multiple sources as a result of preacquisition due diligence, marketing, leasing activities of the Company’s operator base, industry surveys of critical valuation metrics such as capitalization rates, discount rates and leasing rates and appraisals (Level 3). The Company allocates the purchase price of facilities to net tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their fair values in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805). The determination of fair value involves the use of significant judgment and estimation.

The Company determines fair values as follows:

The Company determines the value of land based on third party appraisals. The fair value of in-place leases, if any, reflects: (i) above and below-market leases, if any, determined by discounting the difference between the estimated current market rent and the in-place rentals, the resulting intangible asset or liability of which is amortized to rental revenue over the remaining life of the associated lease plus any fixed rate renewal periods if applicable; (ii) the estimated value of the cost to obtain operators, including operator allowances, operator improvements, and leasing commissions, which is amortized over the remaining life of the associated lease; and (iii) an estimated value of the absorption period to reflect the value of the rents and recovery costs foregone during a reasonable lease-up period as if the acquired space was vacant, which is amortized over the remaining life of the associated lease. The Company also estimates the value of operator or other customer relationships acquired by considering the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the operator, growth prospects for developing new business with such operator, such operator’s credit quality, expectations of lease renewals with such operator, and the potential for significant, additional future leasing arrangements with such operator. The Company amortizes such value, if any, over the expected term of the associated arrangements or leases, which would include the remaining lives of the related leases. The amortization is included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in rental income (above/below-market leases) or depreciation and amortization expense (in-place lease assets). Generally, the Company’s purchase price allocation of the purchased business and subsequent leasing of the business to unrelated third party operators does not include an allocation to any intangible assets or intangible liabilities, as they are either immaterial or do not exist.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease when collectability is reasonably assured. Differences between rental income earned and amounts due under the lease are charged or credited, as applicable, to straight-line rent receivable, net. Income recognized from this policy is titled straight-line rental income. Additional rents from expense reimbursements for insurance, real estate taxes and certain other expenses are recognized in the period in which the related expenses are incurred and the net impact is reflected in rental income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Below is a summary of the components of rental income for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 straight-line rental income (loss) includes a write-off (expense) of straight-line rent receivable, net of approximately $1.5 million, $2.9 million, and $1.5 million, respectively, due to the early termination of leases and replacement of operators.

The Company’s reserve for uncollectible operator receivables is included as a component of reserve for uncollectible loan and other receivables in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The amount incurred during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $0.1 million, $0.1 million, and $10.3 million, respectively.

Lease Accounting

The Company, as lessor, makes a determination with respect to each of its leases whether they should be accounted for as operating leases or direct financing leases. The classification criteria is based on estimates regarding the fair value of the leased facilities, minimum lease payments, effective cost of funds, the economic life of the facilities, the existence of a bargain purchase option, and certain other terms in the lease agreements. Payments received under operating leases are accounted for in the statements of operations and comprehensive income as rental income for actual rent collected plus or minus a straight-line adjustment for minimum lease escalators. Assets subject to operating leases are reported as real estate investments in the consolidated balance sheets. For facilities leased as direct financing arrangements, an asset equal to the Company’s net initial investment is established on the balance sheet titled assets under direct financing leases. Payments received under the financing lease are bifurcated between interest income and principal amortization to achieve a consistent yield over the stated lease term using the interest method. Principal amortization (accretion) is reflected as an adjustment to the asset subject to a financing lease.

All of the Company’s leases contain fixed or formula-based rent escalators. To the extent that the escalator increases are tied to a fixed index or rate, lease payments are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.

Deferred Finance Costs

Deferred finance costs are being amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method, over the term of the respective underlying debt agreement.

Loan Receivables

Loan receivables consist of mortgage loans, capital improvement loans and working capital loans to operators. Mortgage loans represent the financing provided by the Company to operators or owners that are secured by mortgages on real property. Capital improvement loans represent the financing provided by the Company to perform certain capital improvements and/or to acquire furniture, fixtures, and equipment while the operator is operating the facility. Working capital loans to operators represent financing provided by the Company to operators for working capital needs that are secured with non-mortgage collateral or that are unsecured. Loan receivables are carried at their principal amount outstanding. Management periodically evaluates outstanding loans and notes receivable for collectability on a loan-by-loan basis. When management identifies potential loan impairment indicators, such as nonpayment 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 it is probable that all amounts will not be collected under the contractual terms of the loan, the loan is written down to the present value of the expected future cash flows. Loan impairment is monitored via a quantitative and qualitative analysis including credit quality indicators and it is reasonably possible that a change in estimate could occur in the near term. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, loan receivable reserves amounted to approximately $3.4 million and $0 million, respectively. No other circumstances exist that would suggest that additional reserves are necessary at the balance sheet dates other than as disclosed in Footnote 5.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows ASC 718—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) in accounting for its share-based payments. This guidance requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the employee stock awards. This cost is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the employee’s requisite service period. Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized when incurred. Additionally, the Company must make estimates regarding employee forfeitures in determining compensation expense. Subsequent changes in actual experience are monitored and estimates are updated as information is available. The non-cash stock-based compensation expense incurred by the Company through December 31, 2014 is summarized in Footnote 15.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

The Company’s interest rate swaps were valued using models developed by the respective counterparty that use as their basis readily observable market parameters and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has no outstanding swaps.

Cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at amounts considered by management to reasonably approximate fair value. Management estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using a discounted cash flow analysis based upon the Company’s current borrowing rate for debt with similar maturities and collateral securing the indebtedness. The Company had outstanding secured loans, unsecured notes payable, and a line of credit with a carrying value of approximately $1.2 billion and $686.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair values of debt as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $1.2 billion and $705.8 million, respectively, based upon interest rates available to the Company on similar borrowings (Level 3). Management estimates the fair value of its loan receivables using a discounted cash flow analysis based upon the Company’s current interest rates for loan receivables with similar maturities and collateral securing the indebtedness. The Company had outstanding loan receivables with a carrying value of approximately $42.7 million and $41.7 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair values of loan receivables as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 approximate their carrying value based upon interest rates available to the Company on similar borrowings.

Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of business, a variety of financial instrument are used to manage or hedge interest rate risk. The Company has implemented ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that all derivatives, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded as either an asset or liability measured at their fair value unless they qualify for a normal purchase or normal sales exception. When specific hedge accounting criteria are not met, ASC 815 requires that changes in a derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings. Changes in the fair market values of the Company’s derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income if the derivative does not qualify for or the Company does not elect to apply hedge accounting. If the derivative is deemed to be eligible for hedge accounting, such changes are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income within the consolidated statement of changes in equity, exclusive of ineffectiveness amounts, which are recognized as adjustments to net income. All of the changes in the fair market values of our derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for our interest rate swaps that were terminated in September 2010. In November 2010, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps (which were settled at the IPO) and account for changes in fair value of such hedges through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in equity in our financial statements via hedge accounting. Derivative contracts are not entered into for trading or speculative purposes. Furthermore, the Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other factors. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to replace a counterparty in the event that the counterparty does not maintain a specified credit rating. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has no outstanding derivative instruments.

Income Taxes

For federal income tax purposes, the Company elected, with the filing of its initial Form 1120 REIT, U.S. Income Tax Return for U.S. Real Estate Investment Trusts, to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) effective as of September 2010. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational, income, asset and distribution tests. The Company currently is in compliance with these requirements and intends to maintain REIT status. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not elect REIT status for four subsequent years. However, the Company may still be subject to federal excise tax. In addition, the Company may be subject to certain state and local income and franchise taxes. Historically, the Company and its predecessor have generally only incurred certain state and local income and franchise taxes, but these amounts were immaterial in each of the periods presented. Prior to September 2010, the Partnership was a limited partnership and the consolidated operating results were included in the income tax returns of the individual partners. No uncertain income tax positions exist as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Noncontrolling Interests—Operating Partnership / Partnership Units

Noncontrolling interests—operating partnership, as presented on AVIV’s consolidated balance sheets, represent OP units held by individuals and entities other than AVIV.

Noncontrolling interests—operating partnership, which can be settled by issuance of unregistered shares, are reported in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets of AVIV. They are adjusted for income, losses and distributions allocated to OP units not held by AVIV. Adjustments to noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are recorded to reflect increases or decreases in the ownership of the Partnership by holders of OP units as a result of the redemptions of OP units for cash or in exchange for shares of AVIV’s common stock.

Prior to the IPO, the capital structure of our operating partnership consisted of six classes of partnership units, each of which had different capital accounts and each of which was entitled to different distributions. In connection with the IPO, each class of units of the Partnership was converted into an aggregate of 11,938,420 OP units held by limited partners of the Partnership. As of December 31, 2014, there were 10,272,374 of OP units outstanding.

Earnings Per Share of the REIT

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income allocable to common shares for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

Earnings Per Unit of the Partnership

Basic earnings per unit is calculated by dividing the net income allocable to units for the period by the weighted average number of OP units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per unit is calculated by dividing the net income allocable to OP units for the period by the weighted average number of units and dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties affecting the healthcare industry as a result of healthcare legislation and continuing regulation by federal, state, and local governments. Additionally, the Company is 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.

Discontinued Operations

In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements-Discontinued Operations (ASC 205-20), the results of operations related to the actual or planned disposition of rental properties are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as discontinued operations for all periods presented prior to the Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 on January 1, 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (ASU No. 2014-08). ASU No. 2014-08 changes the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014 and is available for early adoption as of January 1, 2014. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2014-08 as of January 1, 2014 and incorporated the provisions of this update to its consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which creates a new topic, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (Topic 606). The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard is effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption of this standard is not allowed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of Topic 606 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern. This update provide guidance about management’s responsibilities to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. An entity’s management, in connection with the preparation of financial statements, to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known or reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued. When management identifies conditions or events that raise

substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand all of the following: (1) principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management’s plans); (2) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations; and (3) management’s plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016 and early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing this guidance for future implementation.

3. Omega Merger

On October 31, 2014, AVIV announced that our Board of Directors had unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement with Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (NYSE: OHI) (Omega) pursuant to which Omega will acquire all of the outstanding shares of AVIV in a stock-for-stock merger. Under the terms of the agreement, AVIV shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.90 Omega shares for each share of AVIV common stock they own.

Completion of the transaction is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of stockholders of both companies. The transaction is currently expected to close in the first half of 2015.

On February 2, 2015, AVIV announced that it has set the date of its special meeting of stockholders to consider and vote on, among other things, a proposal to approve its previously announced merger with Omega. The special meeting will be held on Friday, March 27, 2015. AVIV stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 12, 2015 will be entitled to receive notice of and to participate at the special meeting.

4. Real Estate Assets

The Company had the following acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 as described below:

2014 Acquisitions

2013 Acquisitions

2012 Acquisitions

On July 10, 2014, the Company acquired three properties and two land parcels in Massachusetts for a purchase price of $94.3 million. Sidney and Evelyn Insoft, the parents of Steven Insoft, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, jointly hold a 50% equity interest in the sellers of the properties, representing a gross economic interest in the sale of approximately $47.1 million. The Company believes that the terms of the acquisition were fair and reasonable and reflect terms that the Company would expect to obtain in an arm’s length transaction for comparable properties.

The following table illustrates the effect on total revenues and net income as if the Company had consummated the acquisitions as of January 1, 2013 (in thousands, unaudited):

For the year ended December 31, 2014, revenues attributable to the acquired assets were approximately $24.4 million and net income attributable to the acquired assets was approximately $12.6 million recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Transaction-related costs are not expected to have a continuing significant impact on our financial results and therefore have been excluded from these pro forma results. Related to the above business combinations, the Company incurred $4.8 million and $1.2 million of transaction costs for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In accordance with ASC 805, the Company allocated the approximate net purchase price paid for these properties acquired as follows:

For the business combinations in 2014, 2013 and 2012, other than the acquisition in December 2014 for a purchase price of $305.0 million, the Company’s purchase price allocation of the purchased business and subsequent leasing of the business to unrelated third party operators does not include an allocation to any intangible assets or intangible liabilities, as these amounts are either immaterial or do not exist.

The Company considers renewals on above- or below-market leases when ascribing value to the in-place lease intangible liabilities at the date of a property acquisition. In those instances where the renewal lease rate pursuant to the terms of the lease does not adjust to a current market rent, the Company evaluates whether the stated renewal rate is above or below current market rates and considers the past and current operations of the property, the current rent coverage ratio of the operator, and the number of years until potential renewal option exercise. If renewal is considered probable based on these factors, an additional lease intangible liability is recorded at acquisition and amortized over the renewal period.

Dispositions

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company disposed of eight properties for a total sales price of $2.4 million, and the Company recognized a net loss on sale of approximately $2.5 million. The total sales price and net gain are net of transaction costs incurred in relation to the closings at the time of disposition.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company disposed of six properties, one vacant land parcel and certain other assets for a total sales price of $16.3 million, and the Company recognized a net gain on sale of approximately $1.0 million. The total sales price and net gain are net of transaction costs incurred in relation to the closings at the time of disposition.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company disposed of seven properties and one vacant land parcel for a total sales price of $36.2 million and the Company recognized a net gain on sale of approximately $4.4 million (included in discontinued operations). The total sales price and net gain are net of transaction costs incurred in relation to the closings at the time of disposition.

The following summarizes the Company’s construction in progress and land held for development at December 31 (in thousands):

During 2014, 2013 and 2012 the Company capitalized expenditures for improvements related to various construction and reinvestment projects. In 2014, the Company placed into service eight completed investment projects at eight properties located in California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Texas and Indiana. In 2013, the Company placed into service one completed investment project at one property located in California. In 2012, the Company placed into service three additions and two remodels to three properties located in Washington and two development properties located in Connecticut. In accordance with ASC 835 Capitalization of Interest (ASC 835), the Company capitalizes interest based on the average cash balance of construction in progress for the period using the weighted-average interest rate on all outstanding debt, which approximated 5.1% for the year ended December 31, 2014. The balance of capitalized interest within construction in progress at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $16,000, $0.8 million, and $0.1 million, respectively. The amount capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, relative to interest incurred was $0.7 million, $0.8 million, and $1.1 million, respectively.

The Company’s reserve on a loan-by-loan basis for uncollectible loan receivables balances at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $3.4 million and $0 million, respectively and any movement in the reserve is reflected in reserve for uncollectible loan and other receivables in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The gross balance of loan receivables for which a reserve on a loan-by-loan basis for uncollectible loan receivables has been applied was approximately $3.4 million and $0 million, at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

During 2014 and 2013, the Company funded loans for both working capital and capital improvement purposes to various operators. All loans held by the Company accrue interest and are recorded as interest income unless the loan is deemed impaired in accordance with Company policy. The payments received from the operator cover both interest accrued as well as amortization of the principal balance due. Any payments received from the operator made outside of the normal loan amortization schedule are considered principal prepayments and reduce the outstanding loan receivables balance.
