NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Overview and Organization

Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega,” “we,” “our” or the “Company”) has one reportable segment consisting of investments in healthcare-related real estate properties located in the United States and the United Kingdom. Our core business is to provide financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry with a particular focus on skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”). Our core portfolio consists of long-term leases 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 and variable rate mortgage loans, which are secured by first mortgage liens on the underlying real estate and personal property of the mortgagor.

Omega was formed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and incorporated in the State of Maryland on March 31, 1992. In April 2015, Aviv REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Aviv”), merged (the “Aviv Merger”) with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Omega, pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 30, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Aviv, OHI Healthcare Properties Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Omega (“Merger Sub”), OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Omega OP”), and Aviv Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Aviv OP”).

Prior to April 1, 2015 and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Omega restructured the manner in which it holds its assets by converting to an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust structure (the “UPREIT Conversion”). As a result of the UPREIT Conversion and following the consummation of the Aviv Merger, substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by Omega OP.

Omega OP is governed by the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, dated as of April 1, 2015 (the “Partnership Agreement”). Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Company and Merger Sub are the general partners of Omega OP, and have exclusive control over Omega OP’s day-to-day management. As of September 30, 2015, the Company owned approximately 95% of the issued and outstanding units of partnership interest in Omega OP (“Omega OP Units”), and investors owned approximately 5% of the Omega OP Units.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Omega have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding 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 notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. We have evaluated all subsequent events through the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) Omega, (ii) Omega OP, and (iii) all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Omega. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation, and our net earnings are reduced by the portion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents a purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the cost associated with expanding our investment portfolio. Goodwill is not amortized. We assess goodwill for potential impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the reporting unit. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then we perform a two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential impairment and measure the amount of impairment we will recognize, if any. We do not expect any of the goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

Redeemable Limited Partnership Unitholder Interests and Noncontrolling Interests

As of April 1, 2015 and after giving effect to the Aviv Merger, the Company owned approximately 138.8 million Omega OP Units and Aviv OP owned approximately 52.9 million Omega OP Units. Each of the Omega OP Units (other than the Omega OP Units owned by Omega) is redeemable at the election of the Omega OP Unit holder for cash equal to the then-fair market value of one share of Omega common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Omega Common Stock”), subject to the Company’s election to exchange the Omega OP Units tendered for redemption for unregistered shares of Omega Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Effective June 30, 2015, the Company (through Merger Sub, in its capacity as the general partner of Aviv OP) caused Aviv OP to make a distribution of Omega OP Units held by Aviv OP (or equivalent value) to Aviv OP investors (the “Aviv OP Distribution”) in connection with the liquidation of Aviv OP. As a result of the Aviv OP Distribution, Omega directly and indirectly owned approximately 95% of the outstanding Omega OP Units, and the other investors own approximately 5% of the outstanding Omega OP Units. As a part of the Aviv OP Distribution, Omega settled approximately 0.2 million units via cash settlement. As of September 30, 2015, Omega directly and indirectly owns approximately 95% of the outstanding Omega OP Units, and the other investors own approximately 5% of the outstanding Omega OP Units.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable to a parent. We present the portion of any equity that we do not own in consolidated entities as noncontrolling interests and classify those interests as a component of total equity, separate from total stockholders’ equity, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We include net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in net income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

As our ownership of a controlled subsidiary increases or decreases, any difference between the aggregate consideration paid to acquire the noncontrolling interests and our noncontrolling interest balance is recorded as a component of equity in additional paid-in capital, so long as we maintain a controlling ownership interest.

Foreign Operations

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our consolidated subsidiaries operating in the United States. The functional currency for our consolidated subsidiaries operating in countries other than the United States is the principal currency in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, we translate their financial statements into the U.S. dollar. We translate assets and liabilities at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. The resulting translation adjustments are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”) a component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain balance sheet items, primarily equity and capital-related accounts, are reflected at the historical exchange rate. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate for the period.

We and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries may have intercompany and third-party debt that is not denominated in the entity’s functional currency. When the debt is remeasured against the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. The resulting adjustment is reflected in results of operations, unless it is intercompany debt that is deemed to be long-term in nature and then the adjustments are included in AOCL.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable includes: contractual receivables, effective yield interest receivables, straight-line rent receivables and lease inducements, net of an estimated provision for losses related to uncollectible and disputed accounts. Contractual receivables relate to the amounts currently owed to us under the terms of our lease and loan agreements.  Effective yield interest receivables relate to the difference between the interest income recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan agreement and the interest currently due to us according to the contractual agreement. Straight-line receivables relate to the difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and the amounts currently due to us according to the contractual agreement.  Lease inducements result from value provided by us to the lessee, at the inception or renewal of the lease, and are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the non-cancellable lease term. 

On a quarterly basis, we review our accounts receivable to determine their collectability. The determination of collectability of these assets requires significant judgment and is affected by several factors relating to the credit quality of our operators that we regularly monitor, including (i) payment history, (ii) the age of the contractual receivables, (iii) the current economic conditions and reimbursement environment, (iv) the ability of the tenant to perform under the terms of their lease and/or contractual loan agreements and (v) the value of the underlying collateral of the agreement.  If we determine collectability of any of our contractual receivables is at risk, we estimate the potential uncollectible amounts and provide an allowance.  In the case of a lease recognized on a straight-line basis or existence of lease inducements, we generally provide an allowance for straight-line accounts receivable and or the lease inducements when certain conditions or indicators of adverse collectability are present.

A summary of our net receivables by type is as follows:

We continuously evaluate the payment history and financial strength of our operators and have historically established allowance reserves for straight-line rent adjustments for operators that do not meet our requirements. We consider factors such as payment history and the operator’s financial condition as well as current and future anticipated operating trends when evaluating whether to establish allowance reserves.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” While ASU 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it may apply to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate or equipment. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. We are continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, as a substantial portion of our revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements, which are specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which makes certain changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model, including changes to (1) the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), (2) the variable interest entity characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (3) the primary beneficiary determination. ASU 2015-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016. We are continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected. Upon adoption, we will apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis and adjust the balance sheet of each individual period presented to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Additionally, since ASU 2015-03 did not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest—Imputation of Interest (“ASU 2015-15”) in August 2015. Under ASU 2015-15, an entity may present debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit arrangement as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016. We are continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”), which eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, an acquirer will recognize a measurement-period adjustment during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustment. The acquirer must still disclose the amounts and reasons for adjustments to provisional amounts and the amount of the adjustment reflected in the current-period income statement that would have been recognized in previous periods if the adjustment to provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016. We are continuing to evaluate this guidance; however, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – PROPERTIES AND INVESTMENTS

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 or loan extensions and modifications. Additionally, we actively monitor and manage our investment portfolio with the objectives of improving credit quality and increasing investment returns. In connection with our portfolio management, we may engage in various collection and foreclosure activities.

Leased Property

Our leased real estate properties, represented by 782 SNFs, 85 assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), 16 specialty facilities and one medical office building at September 30, 2015, are leased under provisions of single or 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 percentage 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 (e.g., such as increases in the Consumer Price Index (“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.

$216 Million of New Investments in Q3 2015

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we completed six separate transactions totaling approximately $216.0 million.

$32.0 Million Acquisition – On September 29, 2015, we purchased two SNFs with 260 operating beds located in Florida for total cash consideration of $32.0 million. These facilities were added to the operator’s master lease with an initial annual cash yield of 9%. We recorded approximately $32.0 million of assets consisting of land ($1.4 million), building and site improvements ($29.0 million), and furniture and fixtures ($1.6 million). We did not record goodwill in connection with this transaction. The Company estimated the fair values of the assets acquired on the acquisition date based on certain valuations and analyses that have yet to be finalized, and accordingly, the assets acquired, as detailed above, are subject to adjustment once the analyses are completed.

$28.5 Million Acquisition – On July 30, 2015, we purchased one SNF with 300 operating beds located in Virginia for total cash consideration of $28.5 million and leased it to a new third party operator. The master lease has an initial term of 10 years, annual escalators of 2.5% and an initial annual cash yield of 9.25%. We recorded approximately $28.5 million of assets consisting of land ($1.9 million), building and site improvements ($24.2 million), and furniture and fixtures ($2.4 million). We did not record goodwill in connection with this transaction.

$10.8 Million Acquisition – On July 1, 2015, we purchased two ALFs with 125 operating beds located in Georgia from an unrelated third party for total cash consideration of $10.8 million and leased it to a new third party operator. The master lease has an initial term of 12 years, annual escalators of approximately 2.5% and an initial annual cash yield of 7% in year one which increases to 8% in year two. We recorded approximately $10.8 million of assets consisting of land ($1.2 million), building and site improvements ($9.0 million), and furniture and fixtures ($0.6 million). We did not record goodwill in connection with this transaction.

$18.0 Million Acquisition – On July 1, 2015, we purchased one SNF and two ALFs with 136 operating beds located in Washington from an unrelated third party for total cash consideration of $18.0 million and leased them to an existing operator. These facilities were added to the operator’s master lease with an initial annual cash yield of approximately 8%. We recorded approximately $18.0 million of assets consisting of land ($2.2 million), building and site improvements ($14.9 million), and furniture and fixtures ($0.9 million). We did not record goodwill in connection with this transaction.

$15.0 Million Acquisition – On July 1, 2015, we purchased six SNFs with 530 beds located in Nebraska from an unrelated third party for total cash consideration of $15.0 million and leased them to an existing operator. These facilities were added to the operator’s master lease with an initial annual cash yield of 9%. We recorded approximately $15.0 million of assets consisting of land ($1.4 million), building and site improvements ($12.1 million), and furniture and fixtures ($1.5 million). We did not record goodwill in connection with this transaction.

Asset Acquisition

$111.7 Million Acquisition – On July 24, 2015, we purchased five buildings located in New York City, New York for approximately $111.7 million. We and our operator plan to construct a 201,000 square-foot assisted living and memory care facility. The properties were added to the operator’s existing master lease. The lease provides for a 5% annual cash yield on the land during the construction phase. Upon issuance of a certification of occupancy, the annual cash yield will increase to 7% in year one and 8% in year two with annual 2.5% annual escalators thereafter.

Acquisition of Care Homes in the United Kingdom in Q2 2015

On May 1, 2015, we closed on a purchase/leaseback transaction (the “Care Homes Transaction”) for 23 care homes located in the United Kingdom and operated by Healthcare Homes Holding Limited (“Healthcare Homes”). As part of the transaction, we acquired title to the 23 care homes with 1,018 registered beds and leased them back to Healthcare Homes pursuant to a 12-year master lease agreement with an initial annual cash yield of 7%, and annual escalators of 2.5%. The care homes, comparable to US ALFs, are located throughout the East Anglia region (north of London) of the United Kingdom. Healthcare Homes is headquartered in Colchester (Essex County), England. We recorded approximately $193.8 million of assets consisting of land ($20.7 million), building and site improvements ($152.1 million), furniture and fixtures ($5.3 million) and goodwill ($15.7 million). Omega’s estimated fair values of the care homes’ assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition are determined based on certain valuations and analyses that have yet to be finalized, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as detailed above, are subject to adjustment once the analyses are completed.

In 2015, we incurred approximately $3.2 million in acquisition related costs associated with the Care Homes Transaction.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized approximately $3.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively, of rental revenue in connection with the Care Homes Transaction.

Aviv Merger in Q2 2015

On April 1, 2015, Omega completed the Aviv Merger, which was structured as a stock-for-stock merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Aviv common stock was converted into 0.90 of a share of Omega common stock. In connection with the Aviv Merger, Omega issued approximately 43.7 million shares of common stock to former Aviv stockholders and holders of certain vested equity incentive awards of Aviv. As a result of the Aviv Merger, Omega acquired 342 facilities, two facilities subject to direct financing leases, one medical office building and three mortgages. The facilities are located in 31 states and are operated by 38 third-party operators. Omega also assumed certain outstanding equity awards and other debt and liabilities. Based on the closing price of Omega’s common stock on April, 1, 2015, we estimate the fair value of the consideration exchanged or assumed to be approximately $3.8 billion. Omega’s estimated fair values of Aviv’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Aviv Merger date are determined based on certain valuations and analyses that have yet to be finalized, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as detailed below, are subject to adjustment once the analyses are completed.

The following table highlights the preliminary allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on April 1, 2015:

(a)         Includes the fair value of stock compensation plans assumed.

In 2015, we incurred approximately $51.1 million in acquisition related costs associated with the Aviv Merger.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized approximately $60.1 million and $120.2 million, respectively, of total revenue in connection with the Aviv Merger.

$6.8 Million New Investment in Q1 2015

On January 28, 2015, we purchased one SNF from an unrelated third party for approximately $6.3 million in cash and leased it to an existing operator. The purchase and sale agreement includes a provision that requires us to make an additional payment of $0.5 million to the seller if certain financial metrics of the facility are achieved. We recorded the potential $0.5 million payment as part of the purchase price. The 93 bed SNF, located in Texas, was added to the operator’s existing master lease with an initial annual cash yield of 9.5%. We recorded approximately $6.8 million of assets consisting of land ($0.1 million), building and site improvements ($6.1 million), and furniture and fixtures ($0.6 million). We did not record goodwill in connection with this transaction.

Pro Forma Acquisition Results

The facilities acquired in 2015 and 2014 are included in our results of operations from the dates of acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma results of operations reflect the impact of acquisitions from the three and nine month periods of 2015 and 2014 as if they occurred on January 1, 2014. For a list of the 2014 transactions, refer to Note 3 – Properties in our 2014 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all significant necessary adjustments to reflect the effect of the acquisitions have been made.

Asset Sales, Impairments and Other

In the first quarter of 2015, we initiated plans to construct a new single facility with an existing operator that would consolidate and replace three existing facilities. As a result, we recorded a total impairment of approximately $6.0 million related to three Florida SNFs to reduce their net book values to their estimated fair values. To estimate the fair value of the facilities, we utilized a market approach and Level 3 inputs.

During the second quarter of 2015, we recorded an impairment of approximately $6.9 million on a Tennessee SNF to reduce its net book value to its estimated fair value less costs to sell. We reclassified this facility to assets held for sale in the third quarter of 2015. To estimate the fair value of the facility, we utilized a market approach and Level 3 inputs.

During the third quarter of 2015, we recorded an impairment of approximately $1.7 million on a New Mexico SNF to reduce its net book value to its estimated fair value less costs to sell. We reclassified this facility to assets held for sale in the third quarter of 2015. To estimate the fair value of the facility, we utilized a market approach and Level 3 inputs.

In the second quarter of 2015, we sold four facilities for total cash proceeds of approximately $26.6 million, generating a gain of approximately $8.8 million. Two of the facilities sold were the result of lessees exercising their purchase option.

In the third quarter of 2015, we sold three facilities for total cash proceeds of approximately $14.7 million, generating a loss of approximately $2.4 million.

NOTE 3 – DIRECT FINANCING LEASES

The components of investments in direct financing leases consist of the following:

New Ark Investment Inc.

On November 27, 2013, we closed an aggregate $529 million purchase/leaseback transaction in connection with the acquisition of Ark Holding Company, Inc. (“Ark Holding”) by 4 West Holdings Inc. At closing, we acquired 55 SNFs and 1 ALF operated by Ark Holding and leased the facilities back to Ark Holding, now known as New Ark Investment Inc. (“New Ark”), pursuant to four 50-year master leases with rental payments yielding 10.6% per annum over the term of the leases. The purchase/leaseback transaction is being accounted for as a direct financing lease.

The lease agreements allow the tenant the right to purchase the facilities for a bargain purchase price plus closing costs at the end of the lease term. In addition, commencing in the 41st year of each lease, the tenant will have the right to prepay the remainder of its obligations thereunder for an amount equal to the sum of the unamortized portion of the original aggregate $529 million investment plus the net present value of the remaining payments under the lease and closing costs. In the event the tenant exercises either of these options, we have the right to purchase the properties for fair value at the time.

The 56 facilities represent 5,623 licensed beds located in 12 states, predominantly in the southeastern United States. The 56 facilities are separated by region and divided amongst four cross-defaulted master leases. The four regions include the Southeast (39 facilities), the Northwest (7 facilities), Texas (9 facilities) and Indiana (1 facility).

Additionally, in 2014 we purchased 3 facilities and subsequently leased them to New Ark under a twelve-year master lease expiring in 2026. These leases are being accounted for as operating leases.

On July 27, 2015, New Ark and Omega executed an amendment to the Southeast master lease. Pursuant to the amendment, Omega provided funding to New Ark of approximately $6.8 million for capital expenditures.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had deferred costs associated with direct financing leases of approximately $3.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Aviv Merger

On April 1, 2015, we acquired two additional direct financing leases as a result of the Aviv Merger.

As of September 30, 2015, the following minimum rents are due under our direct financing leases for the next five years (in thousands):

NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE

As of September 30, 2015, mortgage notes receivable relate to 19 fixed and variable rate mortgages on 58 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 eight states, operated by eight 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.

Mortgage interest income is recognized as earned over the terms of the related mortgage notes, using the effective yield method. Allowances are provided 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.

The outstanding principal amounts of mortgage notes receivable, net of allowances, were as follows:

The following is a brief overview of certain mortgages entered into or assumed in 2015 or significant changes to mortgages previously reported.

Mortgage note due 2015

On April 1, 2015 in connection with the Aviv Merger, we acquired a loan from Aviv with a fair value of approximately $6.5 million. The loan is with a new operator and is secured by a lien on a 79 bed SNF located in Tennessee and a 32 bed SNF located in Missouri. The loan bears interest at 8.35% per year and matures in 2015.

Mortgage note due 2018

On April 1, 2015 in connection with the Aviv Merger, we acquired a loan from Aviv with a fair value of approximately $12.6 million. The loan is with a new operator and is secured by a lien on a 100 bed SNF located in Ohio. The loan bears interest at 11.0% per year which increases by 2.0% per year and matures in 2018.

Mortgage note due 2018

In July 2015, we entered into an $11.7 million construction loan with a new operator to construct a 48 bed ALF in Louisiana. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of 8.75% and matures on July 30, 2018. The loan has a total funding of approximately $2.4 million as of September 30, 2015.

NOTE 5 – OTHER INVESTMENTS

A summary of our other investments is as follows:

The following is a brief overview of certain notes entered into or assumed in 2015 or significant changes to notes previously reported.

Other Investment note due 2030

On June 30, 2015, we entered into a $50.0 million revolving credit facility with an operator. The note bears interest at approximately 6.66% and matures in 2030. As of September 30, 2015, approximately $19.6 million has been drawn and is outstanding.

NOTE 8 – CONCENTRATION OF RISK

As of September 30, 2015, our portfolio of real estate investments consisted of 947 healthcare facilities, located in 42 states and the United Kingdom and operated by 83 third party operators. Our gross investment in these facilities, net of impairments and before reserve for uncollectible loans, totaled approximately $8.0 billion at September 30, 2015, with approximately 99% of our real estate investments related to long-term care facilities. Our portfolio is made up of 782 SNFs, 85 ALFs, 16 specialty facilities, one medical office building, fixed and variable rate mortgages on 56 SNFs and two ALFs, and five SNFs that are closed/held-for-sale. At September 30, 2015, we also held miscellaneous investments of approximately $84.7 million, consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our facilities.

At September 30, 2015, the three states in which we had our highest concentration of investments were Ohio (10%), Florida (9%) and Texas (9%). No single operator or manager generated more than 10% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

NOTE 9 – DIVIDENDS AND EQUITY

On October 14, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.56 per share, increasing the quarterly common dividend by $0.01 per share over the previous quarter. The common dividends are to be paid November 16, 2015 to common stockholders of record on November 2, 2015.

Under the terms of the 2015 Agreements, we may sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, through or to the Managers having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $500 million. Sales of the shares, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange at market prices, or as otherwise agreed with the applicable Manager. We will pay each Manager compensation for sales of the shares equal to 2% of the gross sales price per share of shares sold through such Manager under the applicable 2015 Agreement. As of September 30, 2015, we did not issue any shares under the 2015 Equity Shelf Program.

$250 Million Equity Shelf Program Termination

Also on September 3, 2015, we terminated our $250 million Equity Shelf Program (the “2013 Equity Shelf Program”) that we entered into with several financial institutions on March 18, 2013. In 2015, we did not issue any shares under the 2013 Equity Shelf Program.

Since inception of the 2013 Equity Shelf Program, we sold a total of 7.4 million shares of common stock generating total gross proceeds of $233.8 million under the program, before $4.7 million of commissions. As a result of the termination of the 2013 Equity Shelf Program, no additional shares will be issued under the 2013 Equity Shelf Program.

On March 27, 2015, we amended our charter to increase the number of authorized shares of Omega capital stock from 220 million to 370 million and the number of authorized shares of Omega common stock from 200 million to 350 million.

10.925 Million Common Stock Offering

On February 9, 2015, we completed an underwritten public offering of 10.925 million shares of our common stock at $42.00 per share before underwriting and other offering expenses.

See also, Note – 2 Properties and Investments, for stock activity associated with the Aviv Merger.

NOTE 10 – TAXES

Since our inception, we have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). So long as we qualify as a REIT under the Code, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on the REIT taxable income that we distribute to stockholders, subject to certain exceptions. On a quarterly and annual basis, we test our compliance within the REIT taxation rules to ensure that we are in compliance with the REIT rules. We review our distributions and projected distributions each year to ensure we have met and will meet the annual REIT distribution requirements. In 2014 and 2013, we distributed dividends in excess of our taxable income. In 2015, we expect to distribute dividends in excess of our taxable income.

As a result of our UPREIT Conversion, our Company and its subsidiaries may be subject to income or franchise taxes in certain states and municipalities. Also, as a result of our UPREIT Conversion, we created five subsidiary REITs that are subject to all of the REIT qualification rules set forth in the Code.

Subject to the limitation under the REIT asset test rules, we are permitted to own up to 100% of the stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). We have elected for four of our subsidiaries to be treated as TRSs. Three of our TRSs are subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates and the fourth is subject to foreign income taxes. As of September 30, 2015, one of our TRSs had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $0.9 million. The loss carry-forward is fully reserved with a valuation allowance as of September 30, 2015.

In connection with our acquisition of Care Homes in May 2015, we acquired 10 legal entities consisting of 23 facilities. The tax basis in these legal entities acquired for United Kingdom taxes was approximately $82 million less than the purchase price. We recorded a preliminary initial deferred tax liability associated with the temporary tax basis difference of approximately $16 million.

During the third quarter of 2015, we recorded approximately $0.1 million of state and local income tax provision and approximately $0.3 million of provision for foreign income taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 we recorded approximately $0.5 million of state and local income tax provision and approximately $0.4 million of provision for foreign income taxes.

NOTE 11 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The following is a summary of our stock-based compensation expense for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are subject to forfeiture if the holder’s service to us terminates prior to vesting, subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company. Prior to vesting, ownership of the shares/units cannot be transferred. The restricted stock has the same dividend and voting rights as our common stock. RSUs accrue dividend equivalents but have no voting rights. Restricted stock and RSUs are valued at the price of our common stock on the date of grant. We expense the cost of these awards ratably over their vesting period.

The RSUs assumed from Aviv as part of the Aviv Merger were valued at the closing price of our stock on the date of the transaction. The portion of the vesting accruing prior to the acquisition was recorded as part of the purchase price consideration. The expense associated with the vesting that will occur after the date of the transaction will be recorded as stock compensation expense ratably over the remaining life of the RSUs.

We awarded the following RSUs to employees or assumed them in the Aviv Merger.

December 31, 2013 RSUs - These RSUs vest ratably over the three year period ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. In December 2014, 71,247 shares of restricted stock vested and were distributed to employees. In July 2015, 17,919 shares of restricted stock were cancelled.

January 1, 2014 RSUs - These RSUs cliff vest on December 31, 2016. In July 2015, 15,359 shares of restricted stock were cancelled.

March 31, 2015 RSUs - These RSUs cliff vest on December 31, 2017. In July 2015, 14,108 shares of restricted stock were cancelled.

April 1, 2015 RSUs - These RSUs cliff vest on December 31, 2017.

April 1, 2015 Assumed 2015 RSUs - These RSUs were assumed in the Aviv Merger and cliff vest on December 31, 2015.

April 1, 2015 Assumed 2016 RSUs - These RSUs were assumed in the Aviv Merger and cliff vest on December 31, 2016.

April 1, 2015 Assumed Multi-year RSUs - These RSUs were assumed in the Aviv Merger and vest ratably over the periods ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

July 31, 2015 Modified 2013 RSUs - These RSUs cliff vest on December 31, 2015.

July 31, 2015 Modified 2014 RSUs - These RSUs cliff vest on December 31, 2015.

July 31, 2015 Modified 2015 RSUs - These RSUs cliff vest on December 31, 2015.

Performance Restricted Stock Units and LTIP Units

Performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and long term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”) are subject to forfeiture if the performance requirements are not achieved or if the holder’s service to us terminates prior to vesting, subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company. The PRSUs awarded in January 2011, December 2013, January 2014, and the LTIP Units awarded in March 2015, April 2015 and July 2015 have varying degrees of performance requirements to achieve vesting, and each PRSU and LTIP Units award represents the right to a variable number of shares of common stock or partnership units (each LTIP Unit once earned is convertible into one Omega OP Unit in Omega OP, subject to certain conditions). The vesting requirements are based on either the (i) total shareholders return (“TSR”) of Omega or (ii) Omega’s TSR relative to other real estate investment trusts in the MSCI U.S. REIT Index (“Relative TSR”). We expense the cost of these awards ratably over their service period.

Prior to vesting and the distribution of shares, ownership of the PRSUs cannot be transferred. The dividends on the PRSUs accumulate and if vested are paid when the shares are distributed to the employee. While each LTIP Unit is unearned, the employee receives a partnership distribution equal to 10% of the quarterly approved regular periodic distributions per Omega OP Unit. The remaining partnership distributions (which in the case of normal periodic distributions is equal to the total approved quarterly dividend on Omega’s common stock) on the LTIP Units accumulate, and if the LTIP Units are earned, the accumulated distributions are paid.

The number of shares or units earned under the TSR PRSUs or LTIP Units depends generally on the level of achievement of Omega’s TSR over the indicated performance period. We awarded the following TSR PRSUs and LTIP Units to employees:

2013 Multi-Year TSR - In January 2014, our Compensation Committee reviewed the performance and determined the performance targets were met at the “high” level. The 2013 Multi-Year TSR vested and were distributed 25% per quarter on the last day of each calendar quarter in 2014.

2014 Transition TSR - In January 2015, our Compensation Committee reviewed the performance and determined the performance targets were met at the “high” level and the shares were distributed in January 2015.

2015 Transition TSR - The number of 2015 Transition TSR PRSUs that are earned based on performance vest on December 31, 2015, subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company.

2016 Transition TSR - The number of 2016 Transition TSR PRSUs that are earned based on performance vest on December 31, 2016, subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company.

2016 TSR - The number of 2016 TSR PRSUs that are earned based on performance vest quarterly in 2017 in equal increments at the end of each quarter, subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company.

2017 LTIP Units - The number of certain 2017 LTIP Units that are earned based on performance vest quarterly in 2018 in equal increments, other 2017 LTIP Units that are earned based on performance vest on December 31, 2017, subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company.

The number of shares earned under the Relative TSR PRSUs depended generally on the level of achievement of Omega’s TSR relative to other real estate investment trusts in the MSCI U.S. REIT Index over the performance period indicated. We awarded the following Relative TSR PRSUs to employees:

2013 Relative TSR - In January 2014, our Compensation Committee reviewed the performance and determined the performance targets were met at the “high” level. The 2013 Relative TSR PRSUs vested and were distributed 25% per quarter on the last day of each calendar quarter in 2014.

2014 Transition Relative TSR - The 2014 Transition Relative TSR PRSUs vested on December 31, 2014. In January 2015, our Compensation Committee reviewed the performance and determined that 61,769 shares were earned. The shares were distributed in January 2015.

2015 Transition Relative TSR - The number of 2015 Transition Relative TSR PRSUs that are earned based on performance vest on December 31, 2015, subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company.

2016 Transition Relative TSR - The number of 2016 Transition Relative TSR PRSUs that are earned based on performance vest on December 31, 2016, subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company.

2015 Relative TSR - The number of 2015 Relative TSR PRSUs that are earned based on performance vest on December 31, 2015, subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company.

2016 Relative TSR - The number of 2016 Relative TSR PRSUs that are earned based on performance vest quarterly in 2017 in equal increments, subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company.

2017 Relative TSR - The number of 2017 Relative TSR PRSUs that are earned based on performance vest quarterly in 2018 in equal increments, subject to continued employment on the vesting date and subject to certain exceptions for certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control of the Company.

The following table summarizes our total unrecognized compensation cost as of September 30, 2015 associated with restricted stock, restricted stock units, PRSU awards, and LTIP Unit awards to employees:

We used a Monte Carlo model to estimate the fair value for PRSUs and the LTIP Units granted to the employees.

Vesting For Retired Officer Continuing As Consultant

A former officer of Omega retired on July 31, 2015 and effective August 1, 2015, Omega and the former officer entered into a consulting and non-compete agreement. Pursuant to the consulting and non-compete agreement, the former officer will be entitled to prorated vesting through December 31, 2015 of previously granted equity incentives. In the case of performance-based equity incentives, the prorated portion will be paid only to the extent actually earned based on the performance objectives previously established by the Compensation Committee. The former officer will forfeit any unpaid incentive compensation if he terminates the consulting and non-compete agreement for any reason (excluding termination due to death).

As a result of the officer retirement we reversed all expense associated with the original awards. We estimate the value of the equity incentive awards to be approximately $2.3 million.

Director Restricted Stock Grants

As of September 30, 2015, we had 54,149 shares of restricted stock outstanding to directors. The directors’ restricted shares are scheduled to vest over the next three years. As of September 30, 2015, the unrecognized compensation cost associated with outstanding director restricted stock grants is approximately $1.0 million.

NOTE 12 – BORROWING ACTIVITIES AND ARRANGEMENTS

Secured and Unsecured Borrowings

The following is a summary of our long-term borrowings:

Certain of our other secured and unsecured borrowings are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants, for our secured and unsecured borrowings.

HUD Mortgage Loans Payoff

On March 31, 2015, we paid approximately $154.3 million to retire 21 mortgage loans guaranteed by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), totaling approximately $146.9 million. 18 loans had an all-in blended interest rate of 5.35% per annum with maturities between January 2040 and January 2045 and three loans had an all-in blended interest rate of 5.23% per annum with maturities between February 2040 and February 2045. The payoff resulted in a $2.3 million gain on the extinguishment of the debt due to the write-off of the $9.7 million unamortized debt premium recorded at the time of acquisition offset by a prepayment fee of approximately $7.4 million.

On April 30, 2015, we paid approximately $9.1 million to retire one mortgage loan guaranteed by HUD. The loan was assumed as part of an acquisition in a prior year, and had an interest rate of 4.35% per annum with maturity on March 1, 2041. The payoff resulted in a $1.0 million gain on the extinguishment of the debt due to the write-off of the $1.5 million of fair value adjustment recorded at the time of acquisition offset by a prepayment fee of approximately $0.5 million.

General Electric Term Loan

On April 1, 2015, as a result of the Aviv Merger, we assumed a $180 million secured term loan with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE”). On each payment date, we pay interest only (in arrears) on any outstanding principal balance until February 1, 2017 when principal and interest will be paid in arrears based on a thirty year amortization schedule. The interest rate is based on LIBOR, with a floor of 50 basis points, plus a margin of 350 basis points. The interest rate at September 30, 2015 was 4.00%. The initial term expires in December 2019 with the full balance of the loan due at that time.

Bank Credit Facilities

On June 27, 2014, we entered into a $1.2 billion unsecured credit facility, comprised of a $1 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $200 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility” and, collectively, the “2014 Credit Facilities”).
