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 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 June 30, 2016, 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 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 (refer to Note 17 – Subsequent Events). These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 30, 2016.

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.

Goodwill Impairment

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. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Asset Impairment

Management evaluates our real estate investments for impairment indicators, including the evaluation of our assets’ useful lives. The judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based on factors such as, but not limited to, market conditions, operator performance and legal structure. If indicators of impairment are present, management evaluates the carrying value of the related real estate investments in relation to the future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying facilities. Provisions for impairment losses related to long-lived assets are recognized when expected future undiscounted cash flows based on our intended use of the property are determined to be less than the carrying values of the assets. An adjustment is made to the net carrying value of the real estate investments for the excess of carrying value over fair value. The fair value of the real estate investment is determined by market research, which includes valuing the property as a nursing home as well as other alternative uses. All impairments are taken as a period cost at that time, and depreciation is adjusted going forward to reflect the new value assigned to the asset. Management’s impairment evaluation process, and when applicable, impairment calculations involve estimation of the future cash flows from management’s intended use of the property. Changes in the facts and circumstances that drive management’s assumptions may result in an impairment of the Company’s assets in a future period that could be material to the Company’s results of operations.

If we decide to sell real estate properties or land holdings, we evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amounts of the assets. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from estimated net sales proceeds, the property is written down to estimated fair value less costs to sell. Our estimates of cash flows and fair values of the properties are based on current market conditions and consider matters such as rental rates and occupancies for comparable properties, recent sales data for comparable properties, and, where applicable, contracts or the results of negotiations with purchasers or prospective purchasers.

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 shares of Omega Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, in an unregistered transaction.

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 owned 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 June 30, 2016, 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 the Omega OP not attributable to the Company. 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.

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. Gains and losses resulting from this translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) as a separate component of equity and a proportionate amount of gain or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interest. 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.

Derivative Instruments

During our normal course of business, we may use certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing interest rate and currency risk. To qualify for hedge accounting, derivative instruments used for risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk exposure that they are designed to hedge. In addition, at the inception of a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship, the underlying transaction or transactions, must be, and are expected to remain, probable of occurring in accordance with the Company’s related assertions. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives required to be bifurcated, as assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value which are determined using a market approach and Level 2 inputs. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated in hedging relationships or that do not meet the criteria of hedge accounting are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedging relationships, the change in fair value of the effective portion of the derivatives is recognized in AOCL as a separate component of equity and a proportionate amount of gain or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interest, whereas the change in fair value of the ineffective portion is recognized in earnings. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes designating all derivatives that are part of a hedging relationship to specific forecasted transactions as well as recognized obligations or assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also assess and document, both at inception of the hedging relationship and on a quarterly basis thereafter, whether the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting the designated risks associated with the respective hedged items. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective as a hedge, or that it is probable the underlying forecasted transaction will not occur, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively and record the appropriate adjustment to earnings based on the current fair value of the derivative. As a matter of policy, we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $13.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of qualifying cash flow hedges recorded at fair value in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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, a mortgage recognized on an effective yield basis or the existence of lease inducements, we generally provide an allowance for straight-line, effective interest, and or lease inducement accounts receivable when certain conditions or indicators of adverse collectability are present.

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

In the first quarter of 2016, we entered into agreements to transition 27 facilities from one of our former operators to a current operator. As a result of the transition, we wrote off approximately $3.4 million of straight line receivable from the former operator.

Related Party Transactions

The Company has a policy which generally requires related party transactions to be approved or ratified by the Audit Committee. On February 1, 2016, we acquired 10 SNFs from Laurel Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (“Laurel”) for approximately $169.0 million in cash and leased them to an unrelated existing operator. A former member of the Board of Directors of the Company, together with certain members of his immediate family, beneficially owned approximately 34% of the equity of Laurel prior to the transaction. Immediately following our acquisition, the unrelated existing operator acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Laurel, including the interests previously held by the former director of the Company and his family.

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. In addition, the FASB has begun to issue targeted updates to clarify specific implementation issues of ASU 2014-09. These updates include ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and its related updates and will be closely monitoring developments and additional guidance to determine the potential impact of the new standard. We do not expect the adoption of 2014-09 and its updates 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 amends certain requirements for determining whether a variable interest entity must be consolidated. The amendments in ASU 2015-02 are effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 31, 2015 and were adopted by the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The effect of this guidance was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall, which makes limited amendments to the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The new standard significantly revises an entity's accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted specifically for the amendments pertaining to the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. Early adoption of all other amendments is not permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to make a cumulative-effect adjustment to the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-01 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 as of its issuance is permitted. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 amends the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 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 real estate properties, represented by 799 SNFs, 97 assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), 16 specialty facilities and one medical office building at June 30, 2016, are leased under provisions of single or master leases with initial terms typically ranging from five 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.

The following table summarizes the significant acquisitions that occurred in 2016.

Aviv Merger

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. As a result of the Aviv Merger, Omega acquired 342 facilities, two facilities subject to direct financing leases, one medical office building, two mortgages and other investments. 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, the fair value of the consideration exchanged was approximately $2.3 billion.

The following table highlights the final allocation of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration transferred on April 1, 2015 (in thousands):

The completion of the final valuation in the first quarter of 2016 did not result in material changes to our Consolidated Statements of Operations or our Consolidated Balance Sheets from our preliminary purchase price allocation.

Pro Forma Acquisition Results

The facilities acquired in 2015 are included in our results of operations from the dates of acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma results of operations reflect the impact of those acquisitions as if they occurred on January 1, 2015. For a list of the 2015 transactions, refer to Note 3 – Properties in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 30, 2016. In the opinion of management, all significant necessary adjustments to reflect the effect of the acquisitions have been made.

Asset Sales, Impairments and Other

During the first quarter of 2016, we recorded approximately $34.6 million of impairments on 14 facilities located in six states. Our recorded impairments were primarily the result of a decision to exit certain non-strategic facilities and operators primarily related to facilities acquired in the Aviv Merger. We reduced their net book values to their estimated fair value less costs to sell and reclassified them to assets held for sale in the first quarter of 2016. To estimate the fair value of the facilities, we utilized a market approach and Level 3 inputs (which generally consist of non-binding offers from unrelated third parties). In addition, we sold two SNFs (previously classified as held-for-sale) for approximately $2.4 million in net proceeds recognizing a gain of approximately $1.6 million. See Note 6 – Assets Held For Sale for details.

During the second quarter of 2016, we sold 11 facilities for approximately $41.4 million in net proceeds recognizing a gain of approximately $13.2 million. Seven of the sold facilities were previously classified as held-for-sale. In addition, we recorded approximately $6.9 million of impairments on 15 facilities of which 12 are classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2016. We reduced their net book values to their estimated fair value less costs to sell. To estimate the fair value of the facilities, we utilized a market approach and Level 3 inputs (which generally consist of non-binding offers from unrelated third parties). See Note 6 – Assets Held For Sale for details.

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 June and July of 2014, we purchased three facilities and subsequently leased them to New Ark under a twelve-year master lease expiring in 2026. The 2014 three facility lease is being accounted for as an operating lease.

Aviv Merger

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

As of June 30, 2016, 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 June 30, 2016, mortgage notes receivable relate to 20 fixed rate mortgages on 50 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 ten 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 the 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, acquired or assumed in 2016 or significant changes to mortgages previously reported.

Conversion of Mortgage Notes due 2046 to Leased Properties

In January 2016, we acquired three facilities via a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure from a mortgagor. The fair value of the facilities approximated the $25 million carrying value of the mortgages. These facilities have 352 operating beds and are located in Maryland. Simultaneously we leased these facilities to an existing operator.

Mortgage Notes Payoff

On April 29, 2016, an existing operator exercised an option to repay their mortgage notes. We received proceeds of approximately $47.8 million for the mortgage notes due. In connection with the repayment of a mortgage notes we recognized a net gain of approximately $5.4 million which is recorded in mortgage interest income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 repaid in 2016.

Other Investment notes due 2017

On February 1, 2016, we provided an operator a $15.0 million secured working capital note. The working capital note bears interest at 8.5% and matures in July 2017. As of June 30, 2016, approximately $4.1 million has been drawn and remains outstanding.

On March 1, 2016, we provided an operator a $15.0 million secured working capital note. The working capital note bears interest at 8.5% and matures in March 2017. As of June 30, 2016, approximately $10.5 million has been drawn and remains outstanding.

Other Investment note due 2019

On February 26, 2016, we acquired and funded a $50.0 million mezzanine note at a discount of approximately $0.75 million to a new operator. The mezzanine note bears interest at 10.50% and matures in February 2019.

Other Investment note due 2028

On March 1, 2016, we provided an operator a $20.0 million acquisition note. The acquisition note bears interest at 8.5% (increasing annually by 2.5%) and matures in March 2028.

Other Investment notes due 2022 and 2023 Payoff

On April 29, 2016, an existing operator of Omega exercised its option to pay off a working capital note due in 2022 and ten working capital notes due in 2023, for approximately $7.6 million.

NOTE 6 – ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

NOTE 7 – INTANGIBLES

The following is a summary of our intangibles as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Goodwill was recorded in connection with the Aviv Merger and Care Homes Transaction (refer to Note 3 – Properties in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 30, 2016) and is shown as a separate line on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Above market leases and in-place leases, net of accumulated amortization, are included in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Below market leases, net of accumulated amortization, are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our net amortization related to intangibles was $3.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our net amortization related to intangibles was $7.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The estimated net amortization related to these intangibles for the remainder of 2016 and the subsequent four years is as follows: remainder of 2016 – $6.1 million; 2017 – $11.8 million; 2018 – $10.6 million; 2019 – $9.6 million and 2020 – $9.4 million. As of June 30, 2016 the weighted average remaining amortization period of above market leases (inclusive of in-place leases) and below market leases is approximately five years and 10 years, respectively.

The following is a reconciliation of our goodwill as of June 30, 2016:

NOTE 8 – CONCENTRATION OF RISK

As of June 30, 2016, our portfolio of real estate investments consisted of 986 healthcare facilities, located in 42 states and the United Kingdom and operated by 84 third party operators. Our gross investment in these facilities, net of impairments and before reserve for uncollectible loans, totaled approximately $8.6 billion at June 30, 2016, with approximately 99% of our real estate investments related to long-term care facilities. Our portfolio is made up of 799 SNFs, 97 ALFs, 16 specialty facilities, one medical office building, fixed rate mortgages on 48 SNFs and two ALFs, and 23 facilities that are closed/held-for-sale. At June 30, 2016, we also held miscellaneous investments of approximately $199.8 million, consisting primarily of secured loans to third-party operators of our facilities.

At June 30, 2016, the three states in which we had our highest concentration of investments were Ohio (10%), Texas (9%) and Florida (8%). No single operator or manager generated more than 10% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On July 14, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.60 per share, increasing the quarterly common dividend rate by $0.02 per share over the prior quarter, to be paid on August 15, 2016 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 1, 2016.

On April 14, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.58 per share, increasing the quarterly common dividend by $0.01 per share over the prior quarter. The common dividends were paid May 16, 2016 to common stockholders of record on May 2, 2016.

On January 14, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.57 per share, increasing the quarterly common dividend by $0.01 per share over the previous quarter. The common dividends were paid February 16, 2016 to common stockholders of record as of February 2, 2016.

Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, approximately 2.2 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $32.98 per share were issued through our Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Program for gross proceeds of approximately $73.8 million. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, approximately 2.9 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $32.26 per share were issued through our Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Program for gross proceeds of approximately $93.5 million.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The following is a summary of our accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax where applicable:

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”). A REIT is generally not subject to federal income tax on that portion of its REIT taxable income which is distributed to its stockholders, provided that at least 90% of such taxable income is distributed and certain other requirements are met, including an asset and income test. 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.

If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and dividends paid to our stockholders will not be deductible by us in computing taxable income. Further, we will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which qualification is denied, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Failing to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely affect the Company’s net income; however, we believe we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT. 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 2016, 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 wholly owned subsidiary REITs that are subject to all of the REIT qualification rules set forth in the Code. In December 2015, we merged the five wholly owned subsidiary REITs into one wholly owned subsidiary REIT which is 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 two of our active subsidiaries to be treated as TRSs. One of our TRSs is subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates and the other is subject to foreign income taxes. As of June 30, 2016, our TRS that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the applicable corporate rates had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $0.9 million. The loss carry-forward is fully reserved as of June 30, 2016 with a valuation allowance due to uncertainties regarding realization.

During the second quarter of 2016, we recorded approximately $0.4 million of state and local income tax provision and approximately $33 thousand of provision for foreign income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded approximately $0.6 million of state and local income tax provision and approximately $0.1 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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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. 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 is being recorded as stock compensation expense ratably over the remaining life of the RSUs.

We awarded 131,006 RSUs to employees on March 17, 2016.

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 and the LTIP Units have varying degrees of performance requirements to be earned and vested, 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 and vested is convertible into one Omega OP Unit in Omega OP, subject to certain conditions. The earning requirements are based on either the (i) total shareholder return (“TSR”) of Omega or (ii) Omega’s TSR relative to other real estate investment trusts in the MSCI U.S. REIT Index or FTSE NAREIT Equity Health Care Index TSR (both “Relative TSR”). Vesting in general requires that the employee remain employed by us until the date specified in the applicable PRSU or LTIP agreement, which may be later than the date that the TSR or Relative TSR requirements are satisfied. 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. Dividend equivalents on the PRSUs accumulate and with respect to PRSUs granted before 2015 are paid when the PRSUs vest and with respect to PRSUs granted in 2015 or later are paid once the PRSUs are earned. 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 372,069 LTIP Units to employees on March 17, 2016.

The number of shares earned under the Relative TSR PRSUs depends generally on the level of achievement of Omega’s TSR relative to other real estate investment trusts in the MSCI U.S. REIT Index or FTSE NAREIT Equity Health Care Index TSR over the performance period indicated. We awarded 307,480 Relative TSR PRSUs to employees on March 17, 2016.

The following table summarizes our total unrecognized compensation cost as of June 30, 2016 associated with restricted stock, restricted stock units, PRSU awards, and LTIP Unit awards to employees:

Director Restricted Stock Grants

As of June 30, 2016, we had 65,166 shares of restricted stock outstanding to directors. The directors’ restricted shares are scheduled to vest over the next three years. As of June 30, 2016, the unrecognized compensation cost associated with outstanding director restricted stock grants is approximately $1.9 million.
