NOTE 1. Business

 

Overview

 

The Company

 

STRAWBERRY FIELDS REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation formed in July 2019. The Company commenced operations on June 8, 2021. The Company conducts its business through a traditional UPREIT structure in which substantially all of its assets are owned by subsidiaries of Strawberry Fields Realty, LP, a Delaware limited partnership formed in July 2019 (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company is the general partner of the Operating Partnership (“OP”). The Company owns approximately 12.6% of the outstanding OP units as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct the business affairs of the Operating Partnership, subject to certain limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners. The Company may cause the Operating Partnership to issue additional OP units in connection with property acquisitions, compensation or otherwise. The Company became a publicly traded entity on September 21, 2022.

 

The Company is engaged in the ownership, acquisition, financing and triple-net leasing of skilled nursing facilities and other post-acute healthcare properties. The Company’s portfolio consists of 100 healthcare properties with an aggregate of 12,449 licensed beds. The Company holds fee title to 97 of these properties and holds three properties under long-term leases. These properties are located in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. The Company generates substantially all of its revenues by leasing its properties to tenants under long-term leases primarily on a triple-net basis, under which the tenant pays the cost of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating costs of the facility and capital expenditures. Each healthcare facility located at its properties is managed by a qualified operator with an experienced management team.

 

Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Condensed Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s Condensed Consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2024, and the Condensed Consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Variable Interest Entity

 

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

 

Non-Controlling Interest

 

A non-controlling interest is defined as the portion of the equity in an entity not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the primary beneficiary. Non-controlling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity on a Condensed Consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, the presentation of net income is modified to present the income attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests. The non-controlling interest on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated balance sheets represents OP units not held by the Company and represents approximately 87.4% of the outstanding OP Units issued by the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. OP Units are exchangeable 1 to 1 with shares of common stock. The holders of these OP units are entitled to share in cash distributions from the Operating Partnership in proportion to their percentage ownership of OP units. Net income is allocated to the non-controlling interest based on the weighted average of OP units outstanding during the period.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company maintains its accounting records on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

 

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents periodically exceed federally insurable limits. The Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances as appropriate; however, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to the cash in its operating accounts. On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $24.7 million and $22.7 million, respectively, on deposit in excess of federally insured limits. On April 30, 2023, the Company entered into Interbank Cash Sweep accounts to minimize exposure to loss of funds not federally insured. These sweep accounts held approximately $7.6 million and $0.9 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively.

 

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held by mortgage lenders to provide for real estate tax expenditures, tenant improvements, capital expenditures and security deposits, as well as escrow accounts related to principal and interest payments on Bonds.

 

Real Estate Depreciation

 

Real estate costs related to the acquisition and improvement of properties are capitalized and depreciated over the expected life of the asset on a straight-line basis. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. The Company does not incur expenditures for tenant improvements as they are the responsibility of the tenant per their respective leases. The Company anticipates the estimated useful lives of its assets by class to be generally as follows:

 

Building and improvements 7-45 years
Equipment and personal property 2-18 years

NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

 

Real Estate Valuation

 

In determining fair value and the allocation of the purchase price of acquisitions, the Company uses current appraisals or third-party valuations services. The most significant components of these allocations are typically the allocation of fair value to land and buildings and, for certain of its acquisitions, in place leases and other intangible assets. In the case of the fair value of buildings and the allocation of value to land and other intangibles, the estimates of the values of these components will affect the amount of depreciation and amortization the Company records over the estimated useful life of the property acquired or the remaining lease term. In the case of the value of in place leases, the Company makes best estimates based on the evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. These assumptions affect the amount of future revenue that the Company will recognize over the remaining lease term for the acquired in place leases.

 

The Company evaluates each purchase transaction to determine whether the acquired assets meet the definition of a business. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that are not deemed to be businesses are included in the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs related to acquisitions that are deemed to be businesses are expensed as incurred. All of the Company’s acquisitions of investment properties qualified as asset acquisitions during the periods.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Substantially all of the Company’s 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 specified annual increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 1.0% and 3.0%;
     
  (ii) a calculation based on the Consumer Price Index; or
     
  (iii) specific dollar increases.

 

Contingent revenue is not recognized until all possible contingencies have been eliminated. The Company considers the operating history of the lessee and the general condition of the industry when evaluating whether all possible contingencies have been eliminated and have historically, and expect in the future, to not include contingent rents as income until received. The Company follows a policy related to rental income whereby the Company considers a lease to be non-performing after 60 days of non-payment of past due amounts and does not recognize unpaid rental income from that lease until the amounts have been received.

 

Rental revenues relating to non-contingent leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease are recognized on the straight-line basis. Recognizing income on a straight-line basis requires us to calculate the total non-contingent rent containing specified rental increases over the life of the lease and to recognize the revenue evenly over that life. This method results in rental income in the early years of a lease being higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset included in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated balance sheets. At some point during the lease, depending on its terms, the cash rent payments eventually exceed the straight-line rent which results in the straight-line rent receivable asset decreasing to zero over the remainder of the lease term. The Company assesses the collectability of straight-line rent in accordance with the applicable accounting standards and reserve policy. If the lessee becomes delinquent in rent owed under the terms of the lease, the Company may provide a reserve against the recognized straight-line rent receivable asset for a portion, up to its full value, that the Company estimates may not be recoverable.

Revenue Recognition (Cont.)

 

Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market leases are accreted to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods.

 

The Company reports revenues and expenses within our triple-net leased properties for real estate taxes that are escrowed and obligations of the tenants in accordance with their respective lease with us.

 

Gain from sale of real estate investments is recognized when control of the property is being transferred and it is probable that substantially all consideration will be collected.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company evaluates the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants, operators and borrowers on a monthly and quarterly basis. The Company’s evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, individual and portfolio property performance, credit enhancements, liquidity and other factors. The Company’s tenants, borrowers and operators furnish property, portfolio and guarantor/operator-level financial statements, among other information, on a monthly or quarterly basis; the Company utilizes this financial information to calculate the lease or debt service coverages that it uses as a primary credit quality indicator. Lease and debt service coverage information is evaluated together with other property, portfolio and operator performance information, including revenue, expense, net operating income, occupancy, rental rate, reimbursement trends, capital expenditures and EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization), along with other liquidity measures. The Company evaluates, on a monthly basis or immediately upon a significant change in circumstance, its tenants’, operators’ and borrowers’ ability to service their obligations with the Company.

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for straight-line rent receivables resulting from tenants’ inability to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments or lease defaults. For straight-line rent receivables, the Company’s assessment is based on amounts estimated to be recoverable over the lease term.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

 

The Company assesses the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles (“real estate assets”) when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company tests its real estate assets for impairment by comparing the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the real estate assets. The expected future undiscounted cash flows are calculated utilizing the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value exceeds the expected future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss will be recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the real estate assets is greater than their fair value.

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually based on certain qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Potential impairment indicators include a significant decline in real estate values, significant restructuring plans, current macroeconomic conditions, state of the equity and capital markets or a significant decline in the Company’s market capitalization. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company applies the required two-step quantitative approach. The quantitative procedures of the two-step approach (i) compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill, and, if necessary, (ii) compare the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying value as if it had been acquired in a business combination at the date of the impairment test. The excess fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of assets and liabilities, excluding goodwill, is the implied value of goodwill and is used to determine the impairment amount, if any. The Company has selected the fourth quarter of each fiscal year to perform its annual impairment test.

NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and operating leases on owned properties. These financial instruments are subject to the possibility of loss of carrying value as a result of the failure of other parties to perform according to their contractual obligations or changes in market prices which may make the instrument less valuable. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and equivalents are held with various financial institutions. From time to time, these balances exceed the federally insured limits. These balances are maintained with high quality financial institutions which management believes limits the risk.

 

With respect to notes receivable, the Company obtains various collateral and other protective rights, and continually monitors these rights, in order to reduce such possibilities of loss. In addition, the Company provides reserves for potential losses based upon management’s periodic review of our portfolio.

 

On March 31, 2024, the Company held four notes receivable with an outstanding balance of $17.3 million. The notes have maturities ranging from 2024 through 2046, and interest rates ranging from 2% to 11.50%. One of the notes is collateralized by tenants’ accounts receivable. All other notes receivable are uncollateralized as of March 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the Company held four notes receivable for a total amount of $17.7 million. As of March 31, 2024, all of these notes are paid monthly and are current.

 

Market Concentration Risk

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owned 97 properties and leased three and one property, respectively. The facilities are located in 9 states, with 20 facilities of its total facilities located in Illinois (which include 4,226 skilled nursing beds or 33.9% of the Company’s total beds) and 39 of its total facilities in Indiana (which include 3,240 skilled nursing beds or 26.0% of the Company’s total beds). Since tenant revenue is primarily generated from Medicare and Medicaid, the operations of the Company are indirectly subject to the administrative directives, rules and regulations of federal and state regulatory agencies, including, but not limited to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and the Department of Health and Aging in all states in which the Company operates. Such administrative directives, rules and regulations, including budgetary reimbursement funding, are subject to change by an act of Congress, the passage of laws by the state regulators or an administrative change mandated by one of the executive branch agencies. Such changes may occur with little notice or inadequate funding to pay for the related costs, including the additional administrative burden, to comply with a change.

 

Debt and Capital Raising Issuance Costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of equity interests are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Debt issuance costs related to debt instruments, excluding line of credit arrangements, are deferred, recorded as a reduction of the related debt liability, and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt liability utilizing the interest method. Deferred financing costs related to line of credit arrangements are deferred, recorded as an asset and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related line of credit arrangement utilizing the interest method.

 

Penalties incurred to extinguish debt and any remaining unamortized debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums are recognized as income or expense in the Condensed Consolidated statements of income at the time of extinguishment.

 

Segment Reporting

 

Accounting guidance regarding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information establishes standards for the manner in which public business enterprises report information about operating segments. The Company’s investment decisions in health care properties, and resulting investments are managed as a single operating segment for internal reporting and for internal decision-making purposes. Therefore, the Company has concluded that it operates as a single segment.

NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

 

Basic and Diluted Income Per Common Share

 

The Company calculates basic income per common share by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. At March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 45,373,615 and 46,890,421 OP units outstanding which were potentially dilutive securities. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the assumed conversion of the OP units had no impact on basic income per share.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are translated into U.S. dollars use exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies that are translated into U.S. dollars use average rates of exchange in effect during the related period. Gains or losses resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of equity on the Condensed Consolidated balance sheets.

 

Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The effects of transaction gains or losses, if any, are included in other income, in the Condensed Consolidated statements of income.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company measures and discloses the fair value of nonfinancial and financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

 

● Level 1—quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

● Level 2—quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

● Level 3—fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The Company measures fair value using a set of standardized procedures that are outlined herein for all assets and liabilities which are required to be measured at fair value. When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. In instances where a market price is available, but the instrument is in an inactive or over-the-counter market, the Company consistently applies the dealer (market maker) pricing estimate and classifies the asset or liability in Level 2. If quoted market prices or inputs are not available, fair value measurements are based upon valuation models that utilize current market or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, option volatilities, credit spreads and/or market capitalization rates. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As a result, the asset or liability could be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. Internal fair value models and techniques used by the Company include discounted cash flow valuation models.

NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

 

Real Estate Investments – Held for Sale

 

On March 31, 2024, the Company had one property included in real estate investments which was held for sale and carried at the lower of their net book value or fair value on a non-recurring basis on the Condensed Consolidated balance sheets. On December 31, 2023, the Company had one property included in real estate investments which was held for sale and carried at the lower of its net book value or fair value on a non-recurring basis on the Condensed Consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s real estate investments held for sale were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based payment awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated financial statements. ASC 718 requires all entities to apply a fair value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions. The Company recognizes share-based payments over the vesting period.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The main provisions are:

 

1. Require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”).

 

2. Require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. The other segment items category is the difference between segment revenue less the segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss.

 

3. Require that a public entity provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods.

 

4. Clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit

 

5. Require that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

 

6. Require that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this Update and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280.

 

This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.

 

This adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.  

 

In 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 is to provide temporary relief during the transition period. The Board included a sunset provision within Topic 848 based on expectations of when the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) would cease being published. At the time that Update 2020-04 was issued, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) had established its intent that it would no longer be necessary to persuade, or compel, banks to submit to LIBOR after December 31, 2021. As a result, the sunset provision was set for December 31, 2022- 12 months after the expected cessation date of all currencies and tenors of LIBOR. In March 2021, the FCA announced that the intended cessation date of the overnight 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12- month tenors of USD LIBOR would be June 30, 2023, which is beyond the current sunset date of Topic 848. Because the current relief in Topic 848 may not cover a period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, the amendments in ASU 2022-06 issued in December 2022, defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of Properties

 

On January 1, 2024, the Company commenced its lease for two skilled nursing facilities with 226 licensed beds near Johnson City, Tennessee. The lease includes a purchase option which the Company intends to exercise once certain conditions precedent are met.

 

On March 25, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for a property comprised of a 68-bed skilled nursing facility and 10 bed assisted living facility near Georgetown, Indiana. The acquisition is for $5.85 million and the Company expects to fund the acquisition utilizing cash from the balance sheet.

 

Other Properties

 

In February 2023, one facility under our southern Illinois master lease was closed. The closure was made at the request of the tenant and mainly for efficiency reasons. This facility is under a master lease with two other facilities. The closing did not affect the aggregate rent payable under the master lease, which has been paid without interruption. As a result of the closure, the Company has elected to sell the property. The Company has written off the remaining book value of this property and has recorded a loss on real estate investment impairment of approximately $2.5 million during the period ended March 31, 2023, since the facility is no longer licensed to operate as a skilled nursing facility. Additionally, the tenant continues to be responsible for ensuring the building is secure and paying utilities, real estate taxes and insurance bills.

Right of use assets and operating lease liabilities are disclosed as separate line items in the Condensed Consolidated balance sheets and are valued based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments at the lease commencement. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s operating lease obligation is for one skilled nursing facility in Indiana and two skilled nursing facilities in Tennessee. The Tennessee facilities are under one lease. The Indiana lease has an initial term that expires on March 1, 2028, and has two five-year renewal options. The lease is a triple net lease, which requires the Company to pay real and personal property taxes, insurance expenses and all capital improvements. The Company subleases the building as part of the Indiana master lease. Based on the sublease with the Company’s tenant, the tenant is required to pay real and personal property taxes, insurance expenses and all capital improvements. The Tennessee lease has an initial term that expires December 31, 2034, and has two five year renewal options. The lease is a triple net lease, which requires the Company to pay real and personal property taxes, insurance expenses and all capital improvements. The Company subleases the building as a separate master lease. Based on the sublease with the Company’s tenant, the tenant is required to pay real and personal property taxes, insurance expenses and all capital improvements.

Interest

 

The Series C Bonds initially bore interest at a rate of 5.7% per annum. In July 2021, Standard & Poor’s provided an initial rating for the Series C Bonds of ilA+.

 

Interest on the Series C Bonds is payable semi-annually in arrears on July 31 and January 31 of each year. The interest rate may increase if certain financial ratios are not achieved, as discussed below.

 

Payment Terms

 

The principal amount of the Series C Bonds is payable in five annual installments due on July 31 of each of the years 2022 through 2026. The first four principal payments are equal to 6% of the original principal amount of the Series C Bonds, and the last principal payments is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Series C Bonds.

 

Financial Covenants

● The stockholders’ equity of the BVI Company may not be less than $230 million.

 

● The ratio of the Condensed Consolidated stockholders’ equity of the BVI Company to its total Condensed Consolidated balance sheet may not be less than 25%.

 

● The ratio of the adjusted net financial debt to adjusted EBITDA of the BVI Company (for the past four quarters) may not exceed 12.

 

● The ratio of the outstanding amount of the Series C Bonds to the fair market value of the collateral may not exceed 75%.

Dividend Restrictions

 

The indenture for the Series C Bonds limits the amount of dividends that may be paid by the BVI Company to the Operating Partnership. The BVI Company may not make any distribution unless all of the following conditions are fulfilled (with all amounts calculated under IFRS):

 

● The distribution amount may not exceed 80% of the net profit after tax that is recognized in the most recent Condensed Consolidated financial statements of the BVI Company, less profits or losses arising from a change in accounting methods, net of revaluation profits/losses (that have not yet been realized) arising from a change in the fair value of the assets with respect to the fair value in the prior reporting period.

 

● The ratio of the consolidated stockholders’ equity of the BVI Company to its total consolidated balance sheet may not be less than 30%.

 

● The distributable profits for which no distribution was performed in a specific year will be added to the following quarters.

 

● The BVI Company’s equity at the end of the last quarter, before the distribution of dividends, less the dividends distributed, may not be less than $250 million.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the BVI Company met these financial conditions, and the BVI Company was not in violation of any of its material undertakings to the holders of the Series C Bonds.

 

Increase in Interest Rate

 

In the event that:

 

(i) the stockholders’ equity of the BVI Company (excluding minority interests) is less than $250 million;

 

(ii) the ratio of the adjusted net financial debt to adjusted EBITDA (for the latest four quarters) exceeds 11;

 

(iii) the ratio of the consolidated equity of the BVI Company to total consolidated assets of the BVI Company is below 27%; or

 

(iv) the ratio of outstanding amount of the Series C Bonds to the fair market value of the collateral for the Series C Bonds exceeds 75%,

 

then, in each case, the interest on the Series C Bonds will increase by an additional 0.5% annually, but only once with respect to each failure to meet these requirements. Compliance with these financial covenants is measured quarterly.

 

Additionally, if a decline in the rating of the Series C Bonds should take place, then for each single ratings decrease, the interest will be increased by 0.25% per year, up to a maximum increment of 1.25% annually.

 

In any case, the total increase in the interest rate as a result of the above adjustments will not exceed 1.5% per year. The increases in the interest rate will also be reversed if the BVI Company regains compliance.

Series C Bonds (Cont.)

 

Security

 

The Series C Bonds are secured by first mortgage liens on nine properties. In addition, the Series C Bonds are also secured by interest and expenses reserves. The BVI Company has agreed not to pledge its assets pursuant to a general lien without obtaining the prior consent of the holders of the Series C Bonds, provided that the BVI Company is entitled to register specific liens on its properties and also to provide guarantees and its subsidiaries are entitled to register general and specific liens on their assets.

 

Under the terms of the indenture for the Series C Bonds, the BVI Company can take out properties from the collateral (in case of HUD refinancing) or to add properties and increase the Series C Bonds as long as the ratio of outstanding amount of the Series C Bonds to fair market value of the collateral is not more than 65%. In addition, starting from July 1, 2023, if the fair market value of the collateral is below 55%, the BVI Company can request to release collateral so the fair market value will increase to 55%. As of March 31, 2024, the ratio of outstanding Series C Bonds to fair value of the collateral was 51.7%.

 

Additional Bonds

 

The BVI Company can issue additional Series C Bonds at any time not to exceed a maximum outstanding of NIS 630 million (or $171 million).

 

Redemption Provisions

 

The BVI Company may, at its discretion, call the Series C Bonds for early repayment. In the event of the redemption of all of the Series C Bonds, the BVI Company would be required to pay the highest of the following amounts:

 

the market value of the balance of the Series C Bonds in circulation which will be determined based on the average closing price of the Series C Bonds for thirty (30) trading days before the date on which the board of directors resolves to undertake the early redemption;
   
the par value of the Series C Bonds available for early redemption in circulation (i.e., the principal balance of the Series C Bonds plus accrued interest until the date of the actual early redemption); or
   
the balance of the payments under the Series C Bonds (consisting of future payments of principal and interest), when discounted to their present value based on the annual yield of the Israeli government bonds plus an “additional rate.” The additional rate will be 1.0% per annum for early repayment performed by September 30, 2022, 2.5% from October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023, and 3.0% thereafter.

 

Change of Control

 

The holders of a majority of the Series C Bonds may accelerate the outstanding balance of the Bonds if the control of the BVI Company is transferred, directly or indirectly, unless the transfer of control is approved by the holders of a majority of the Series C Bonds.

 

For purposes of the Series C Bonds, the “controlling stockholders” of the BVI Company are deemed to be Moishe Gubin and Michael Blisko.

Change of Control (Cont.)

 

For the purpose of this provision, a transfer of control means a change of control of the BVI Company such that the BVI Company has a controlling stockholder that is not any of the “controlling stockholders” and/or is in the hands of any of their immediate family members (including through trusts that the controlling stockholders and/or any of their immediate family members are the beneficiaries under and/or are their managers). In this regard, “control” is defined in the Israeli Companies Law.

 

Series D Bonds

 

In June 2023, the BVI Company completed an initial offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) of Series D Bonds with a par value of NIS 82.9 million ($22.9 million). These Series D Bonds were issued at par. Offering and issuance costs of approximately $0.6 million were incurred at closing. During July 2023, the BVI Company issued additional Series D Bonds with a par value of NIS 70.0 million and raised a gross amount of $19.2 million (NIS 69.8 million). The Bonds were issued at a price of 99.7%.

 

On February 8, 2024, the BVI Company issued additional Series D Bonds with a par value of NIS 100.0 million and raised a net amount of $26.7 million (NIS 98.2 million). The Bonds were issued at a price of 106.3%. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of the Series D Bonds were $67.1 million and $42.2 million, respectively.

 

Interest

 

The Series D Bonds initially bore interest at a rate of 9.1% per annum. In June 2023, Standard & Poor’s provided an initial rating for the Series D Bonds of ilA.

 

Interest on the Series D Bonds is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 31 and September 30 of each year. The interest rate may increase if certain financial ratios are not achieved, as discussed below.

 

Payment Terms

 

The principal amount of the Series D Bonds is payable in three annual installments due on September 30 of each of the years 2024 through 2026. The first two principal payments are equal to 6% of the original principal amount of the Series D Bonds, and the last principal payments is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Series D Bonds.

 

Financial Covenants

 

Until the date of full repayment of the Series D Bonds, the BVI Company must comply with certain financial covenants described below. The application of the covenants is based on the financial statements of the BVI Company as prepared under the IFRS accounting method. The financial covenants are as follows:

 

● The stockholders’ equity of the BVI Company may not be less than $230 million.

 

● The ratio of the Condensed Consolidated stockholders’ equity of the BVI Company to its total Condensed Consolidated balance sheet may not be less than 25%.

 

● The ratio of the adjusted net financial debt to adjusted EBITDA of the BVI Company (for the past four quarters) may not exceed 12.

Dividend Restrictions

 

The indenture for the Series D Bonds limits the amount of dividends that may be paid by the BVI Company to its stockholders. The BVI Company may not make any distribution unless all of the following conditions are fulfilled (with all amounts calculated under IFRS):

 

● The distribution amount may not exceed 80% of the net profit after tax that is recognized in the most recent Condensed Consolidated financial statements of the BVI Company, less profits or losses arising from a change in accounting methods, net of revaluation profits/losses (that have not yet been realized) arising from a change in the fair value of the assets with respect to the fair value in the prior reporting period.

 

● The ratio of the consolidated stockholders’ equity of the BVI Company to its total consolidated balance sheet may not be less than 30%.

 

● The distributable profits for which no distribution was performed in a specific year will be added to the following quarters.

 

● The BVI Company’s equity at the end of the last quarter, before the distribution of dividends, less the dividends distributed, may not be less than $250 million.

 

The BVI Company meets the financial conditions described above, and the BVI Company is not in violation of all and/or any of its material undertakings to the holders of the Series D Bonds as of March 31, 2024.

 

Increase in Interest Rate

 

In the event that:

 

(i) the stockholders’ equity of the BVI Company (excluding minority interests) is less than $250 million;

 

(ii) the ratio of the adjusted net financial debt to adjusted EBITDA (for the latest four quarters) exceeds 11;

 

(iii) the ratio of the consolidated equity of the BVI Company to total consolidated assets of the BVI Company is below 27%; or

 

then, in each case, the interest on the Series D Bonds will increase by an additional 0.5% annually, but only once with respect to each failure to meet these requirements. Compliance with these financial covenants is measured quarterly.

 

Additionally, if a decline in the rating of the Series D Bonds should take place, then for each single ratings decrease, the interest will be increased by 0.25% per year, up to a maximum increment of 1.25% annually.

 

In any case, the total increase in the interest rate as a result of the above adjustments will not exceed 1.5% per year. The increases in the interest rate will also be reversed if the BVI Company regains compliance.

NOTE 8. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Commitments

 

The Company guarantees from time-to-time obligations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

 

Contingencies

 

The Company’s operating results and financial condition are dependent on the ability of its tenants to meet their lease obligations to us.

 

We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, that are not covered by insurance and expected to be resolved within policy limits, other than the following:

 

In March 2020, Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and certain companies owned by them filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Moishe Gubin, Michael Blisko, the Predecessor Company and 21 of its subsidiaries, as well as the operators of 17 of the facilities operated at our properties. The complaint was related to the Predecessor Company’s acquisition of 16 properties located in Arkansas and Kentucky that were completed between May 2018 and April 2019 and the attempt to purchase an additional five properties located in Massachusetts. The complaint was dismissed by the Court in 2020 on jurisdictional grounds. The plaintiffs did not file an appeal with respect to this action, and the time for an appeal has expired.

 

In August 2020, Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and several companies controlled by them filed a second complaint in the Circuit Court in Pulaski County, Arkansas. The second complaint had nearly identical claims as the federal case, but was limited to matters related to the Predecessor Company’s acquisition of properties located in Arkansas. The sellers, which were affiliates of Skyline Health Care, had encountered financial difficulties and requested the Predecessor Company to acquire these properties. The defendants have filed an answer denying the plaintiffs’ claims and asserting counterclaims based on breach of contract. This case has been dismissed without prejudice.

 

In January 2021, Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and certain companies owned by them filed a third complaint in Illinois state court in Cook County, Illinois, which has nearly identical claims to the initial federal case, but was limited to claims related to the Kentucky and Massachusetts properties. The complaint has not been properly served on any of the defendants, and, accordingly, the defendants did not responded to the complaint. Instead, the defendants filed a motion to quash service of process. On January 11, 2023, the Cook County Circuit Court entered an order granting such motion, quashing service of process on all defendants. In March 2023, the plaintiffs filed a new complaint and again attempted to serve it on the defendants. It is the defendants’ position that service was (once again, potentially) defective and sought a dismissal of the matter for want of prosecution by Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and certain companies owned by them. The dismissal was granted, but has been appealed to the Illinois Appellate Court, and now has been dismissed.

 

In April of 2024, Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and several companies controlled by them filed a third complaint in the Circuit Court in Pulaski County, Arkansas. This third complaint had nearly identical claims as the federal case and the Illinois state court matter.

 

In each of these complaints, the plaintiffs asserted claims for fraud, breach of contract and rescission arising out of the defendants’ alleged failure to perform certain post-closing obligations under the purchase contracts. We have potential direct exposure for these claims because the subsidiaries of the Predecessor Company that were named as defendants are now subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Additionally, the Operating Partnership is potentially liable for the claims made against Moishe Gubin, Michael Blisko and the Predecessor Company pursuant to the provisions of the contribution agreement, under which the Operating Partnership assumed all of the liabilities of the Predecessor Company and agreed to indemnify the Predecessor Company and its affiliates for such liabilities. We and the named defendants believe that the claims set forth in the complaints are without merit. The named defendants intend to vigorously defend the litigation and to assert counterclaims against the plaintiffs based on their failure to fulfill their obligations under the purchase contracts, interim management agreement, and operations transfer agreements. We believe this matter will be resolved without a material adverse effect to the Company.

 

As noted above, the March 2020, January 2021 and April 2024 complaints also related to the Predecessor Company’s planned acquisition of five properties located in Massachusetts. A subsidiary of the Predecessor Company purchased loans related to these properties in 2018 for a price of $7.74 million with the expectation that the subsidiaries would acquire title to the properties and the loans would be retired. The subsidiary subsequently advanced $3.1 million under the loans to satisfy other liabilities related to the properties. The planned acquisition/settlement with the sellers/owners and/borrowers was not consummated because the underlying tenants of the properties surrendered their licenses to operate healthcare facilities on these properties.

 

The Predecessor Company intends to institute legal proceedings to collect the outstanding amount of these loans and to assert related claims against the sellers and their principals for the unpaid principal balances as well as protective advances and collection costs. In connection with enforcing their rights, in July 2022, the Company foreclosed, and (as lender) sold four of the five properties at auction for the total amount of $4.4 million. In December 2022, the Company took title on the fifth property with an estimated fair value of $1.2 million.

 

Note 9. Equity Incentive Plan

 

The Company has adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan permits the grant of both options qualifying under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (“incentive stock options”) and options not so qualifying, and the grant of stock appreciation rights, stock awards, incentive awards, performance units, and other equity-based awards. A total of 250,000 shares have been authorized to be granted under the Plan.

 

As of March 31, 2024, 225,100 shares were available for grant. No shares were issued during the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

The Company is currently seeking to expand the Plan from 250,000 shares to 1,000,000 shares. This expansion is subject to shareholder approval and is listed as a proposal in the current proxy statement.

NOTE 10. Stockholders’ Equity and Distributions

 

The Company elected and qualified to be treated as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2022.

In addition, a REIT is required to pay a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which the distributions that it makes in a calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of its ordinary income, 95% of its capital gain net income and 100% of its undistributed income from prior years.

 

As of March 31, 2024, there were a total of 6,468,508 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The outstanding shares were held by a total of approximately 812 stockholders of record, including certain affiliates of the Company who held 938,722 of these shares.

Under the terms of the partnership agreement for the Operating Partnership, such holders have the right to request the cash redemption of their OP units. If a holder requests redemption, the Company has the option of issuing shares of common stock to the requesting holder instead of cash. The OP unit holders are required to obtain Company approval prior to the sale or transfer of any or all of such holder’s OP units.

 

The Company has reserved a total of 45,373,615 shares of common stock that may be issued, at the Company’s option, upon redemption of the OP units outstanding as of March 31, 2024.

On June 14, 2022, the Company purchased an $8 million note held by Infinity Healthcare Management, a company controlled by Mr. Blisko and Mr. Gubin. The note was issued by certain unaffiliated tenants. It bears interest at 7% per annum, payable annually. The principal amount of the note becomes payable 120 days after the date on which tenants are first able to exercise the purchase option for the properties contained in their lease. The purchase option becomes exercisable upon the Company’s ability to deliver fee simple title to the properties. The Company does not have the ability to deliver title on March 31, 2024, due to underlying litigation. If the tenants do not exercise the option within this period, then the outstanding balance of the note will thereafter be payable in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments of principal and interest.

 

NOTE 12. Income Taxes

 

The Company elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal income tax on its net taxable income that it distributes currently to its stockholders. Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they distribute each year at least 90% of their REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, the Company’s income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and the Company would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which the Company ceased to qualify as a REIT. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, it may still be subject to state and local taxes on its income and assets and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

 

The Company follows recent accounting guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions.

 

A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-than-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment.

NOTE 13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financials instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying value on the Condensed Consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature. The Company’s foreclosed real estate is recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis and is included in real estate investments on the Condensed Consolidated balance sheets. Estimates of fair value are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market values by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and knowledge and experience of management. The fair values of the Company’s remaining financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated balance sheets are reported below:

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

 

Overview (continued)

 

We employ a disciplined approach in our investment strategy by investing in healthcare real estate assets. We seek to invest in assets that will provide attractive opportunities for dividend growth and appreciation in asset value, while maintaining balance sheet strength and liquidity, thereby creating long-term stockholder value. We expect to grow our portfolio by diversifying our investments by tenant, facility type and geography.

 

We are entitled to monthly rent paid by the tenants and we do not receive any income or bear any expenses from the operations of such facilities. As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate annualized average base rent under the leases for our properties was approximately $106.0 million.

 

We elected a REIT status for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2022. We are organized in an UPREIT structure in which we own substantially all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our business through the Operating Partnership. We are the general partner of the Operating Partnership and as of the date of the report own approximately 12.6% of the outstanding OP units.

 

Recent Developments

 

On January 1, 2024 the Company commenced its lease for two skilled nursing facilities with 226 licensed beds near Johnson City, Tennessee. The lease includes a purchase option which the Company intends to exercise once certain conditions precedent are met.

 

On February 8, 2024, the BVI Company issued additional Series D Bonds with a par value of NIS 100.0 million and raised a gross amount of $26.7 million (NIS 98.2 million). The Bonds were issued at a price of 106.3%; which equates to a coupon of approximately 7.7%.

 

On February 20, 2024 the Company entered into a new, replacement master lease for the properties included in the Indiana acquisition completed in August of 2023. The tenants remain a group affiliated with two of the Company’s directors, Moishe Gubin and Michael Blisko. The new master lease has an initial term of ten years and is subject to 2 five-year extensions. The initial annual base rent for the properties is $14.5 million dollars and is subject to annual increases of 3%. In connection with the new master lease, the existing purchase option held by the tenant, which was granted by the prior owner of the properties, of $127.0 million was terminated. Consideration for the termination of the purchase option and inducement for entering into the new, replacement master lease was $18.0 million paid to the tenants. The $18.0 million payment was funded by cash and the proceeds from the additional Series D Bond issuance in February 2024.

 

On March 25, 2024 the Company entered into a purchase agreement for a property comprised of an 68-bed skilled nursing facility and 10 bed assisted living facility near Georgetown, Indiana. The acquisition is for $5.85 million and the Company expects to fund the acquisition utilizing cash from the balance sheet. The Company anticipates closing on this acquisition on June 1, 2024.

 

On April 1, 2024 the Company renewed the IN Master lease (original expiration date July 31, 2025) for 10 years with two 5 years options and added to the lease one more entity that was not part of the original lease. The base rent for the first year is $15.5 million with 3% annual escalations.

 

On April 30, 2024 the company sold a property 107 South Lincoln Street to The Village of Smithton, a municipality in Illinois. The building was sold to the municipality for $1. The Company paid $1.2M in related debt and closing fees for this transaction.

 

As of the date of this report, none of the Company’s tenants are delinquent on the payment of rent, and there have been no requests to amend the terms of their respective leases or to reduce current or future lease payments.

 

Related Party Tenants

 

As a landlord, the Company does not control the operations of its tenants, including related party tenants, and is not able to cause its tenants to take any specific actions to address trends in occupancy at the facilities operated by its tenants, other than to monitor occupancy and income of its tenants, discuss trends in occupancy with tenants and possible responses, and, in the event of a default, exercise its rights as a landlord. However, Moishe Gubin, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Michael Blisko, one of our directors, as the controlling members of 66 of our tenants and related operators, have the ability to obtain information regarding these tenants and related operators and cause the tenants and operators to take actions, including with respect to occupancy.

Basic and diluted income per common share  $0.12   $0.08    0.04    50.0%

 

Rental revenues: The increase in Rental Revenues of $3.6 million or 14.8% is primarily due to rental income received from the new Indiana and Texas master leases. These increases were offset by lower revenue from the Landmark master lease.

 

Depreciation and Amortization: The increase in depreciation of $1.0 million or 15.5% relates to the depreciation associated with the August 2023 acquisition of the Indiana Facilities and which was offset by certain equipment and personal property having been fully depreciated between the quarters ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2024. The amortization increase is due to the February 2024 purchase of the new master lease for the properties included in the Indiana acquisition completed in August of 2023.

 

Loss on real estate investment impairment: In February 2023, one facility under one of our Southern Illinois master leases was closed. The closure was made at the request of the tenant and was mainly for efficiency reasons. This facility was leased under a master lease with two other facilities. The closure did not result in any reduction in the rent received under the master lease, which has been paid without interruption. As a result of the closure, the Company is seeking to sell the property. Since the facility is no longer licensed to operate as a skilled nursing facility, the Company wrote off its remaining book value.

 

Interest expense, net: The increase in interest expense of $2.9 million or 60.8% is primarily related to additional interest payments for Series D Bonds, a second commercial bank loan facility obtained in connection with the August 2023 acquisition of the Indiana Facilities and increases in the floating rate on the Company’s commercial bank loan facilities.

 

Net Income: The increase in net income from $4.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is primarily due to increases in rental revenue (net of increase in real estate taxes) and the decline in real estate impairment losses offset by higher depreciation and interest expense.

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

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains, to our stockholders on an annual basis. Accordingly, we intend to make, but are not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly dividends to common stockholders from cash flow from operating activities. All such dividends are at the discretion of our board of directors.

 

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and equivalents of $38.7 million. We also had the ability to offer an additional $111.3 million in Series C Bonds and an additional $55.1 million in Series D Bonds subject to compliance with covenants and market conditions.

 

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our assets and operations, make distributions to our stockholders and other general business needs. Our primary sources of cash include operating cash flows, stock sales and borrowings. Our primary uses of cash include funding acquisitions and investments consistent with our investment strategy, repaying principal and interest on any outstanding borrowings, making distributions to our equity holders, funding our operations and paying accrued expenses.

 

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the costs of acquiring additional healthcare properties and principal and interest payments on our debt. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including future equity issuances or debt offerings, net cash provided by operations, long-term mortgage indebtedness and other secured and unsecured borrowings.

 

37

 

 

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

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

 

We may utilize various types of debt to finance a portion of our acquisition activities, including long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans, variable-rate term loans and secured revolving lines of credit. As of March 31, 2024, on a Condensed Consolidated basis, we had total indebtedness of approximately $560.3 million, consisting of $269.4 million in HUD guaranteed debt, $127.0 million in net Series C Bonds and Series D bonds outstanding and $163.9 million in commercial mortgages loans. Under our Bonds and our commercial mortgages loans, we are subject to continuing covenants. Future indebtedness that the Company may incur may contain similar provisions. In the event of a default, the lenders could accelerate the timing of payments under the debt obligations, and we may be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources, which may not be available on attractive terms, or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

 

Through 2028 we will be required to make four balloon payments under our debt, consisting of a payment of $51.9 million due under the Series C Bonds in 2026, a payment of $59.1 million due under the Series D Bonds in 2026, a payment of $86.1 million due under our commercial bank mortgage loan facility due in 2027 and a payment of $60.7 million due under our commercial bank mortgage loan facility due in 2028. We may also obtain additional financing that contains balloon payment obligations. These types of obligations may materially adversely affect us, including our cash flows, financial condition and ability to make distributions.

 

The Company believes that its overall level of indebtedness is appropriate for the Company’s business in light of its cash flow from operations and value of its properties and is generally typical for owners of multiple healthcare properties. The Company expects to generate sufficient positive cash flow from operations to meet its current debt service obligations and the distribution requirements for maintaining REIT status, and to be able to refinance its debt to the extent necessary to meet its balloon payment obligations.

Cash Flows (continued)

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $2.1 million. It was comprised of net earnings of $6.0 million and depreciation and amortization of $8.1 million, offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other liabilities of $8.1 million, an increase in other assets, and amortization of right of use assets. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $10.0 million primarily consisted of net earnings of $4.1 million, depreciation and amortization of $7.0 million and a loss on real estate investment impairment of $2.5 million. These amounts were offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other liabilities of $3.8 million.

These properties were acquired in an acquisition completed in August of 2023. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was comprised of the acquisition of a new facility in Kentucky for $6.0 million and receipt of the principal payments on notes receivable.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024, were primarily comprised of $25.7 million proceeds from the issuance of Series D Bonds offset by $5.4 million for the distributions to non-controlling interest and the repayment of senior debt. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were primarily comprised of a private placement of Series C Bonds which netted $10.4 million offset by non-controlling interest distributions and principal debt repayment.

 

Indebtedness

 

Mortgage Loans Guaranteed by HUD

 

As of March 31, 2024, we had non-recourse mortgage loans of $269.4 million from third party lenders that were guaranteed by HUD.

 

Each loan is secured by first mortgages on certain specified properties, interests in the leases for these properties and second liens on the operator’s assets. In the event of default on any single loan, the loan agreement provides that the applicable lender may require the tenants for the property securing the loan to make all rental payments directly to the lender. In exchange for the HUD guarantee, we pay HUD, on an annual basis, 0.65% of the principal balance of each loan as mortgage insurance premium, in addition to the interest rate denominated in each loan agreement. As a result, the overall average interest rate paid with respect to the HUD guaranteed loans as of March 31, 2024, was 3.91% per annum (including the mortgage insurance payments). The loans have an average maturity of 25.0 years.

 

Commercial Bank Term Loan

 

On March 21, 2022, the Company closed a mortgage loan with a commercial bank pursuant to which the Company borrowed approximately $105 million. The loan agreement provides for monthly payments of principal based on a 20-year amortization with a balloon payment due in March 2027. The rate is based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 3.5% and a floor of 4% (as of March 31, 2024, rate was 8.84%). As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, total outstanding principal amount was $97.9 million and $98.8 million, respectively. This loan is collateralized by 21 properties owned by the Company.

 

On August 25, 2023, the Company closed a mortgage loan facility with a commercial bank pursuant to which the Company borrowed approximately $66 million. The facility is an interest only facility for the first 12 months and beginning in the second year monthly payments of principal and interest based on a 20-year amortization schedule with a balloon payment due in August 2028. The rate is based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 3.5% and a floor of 4% (as of March 31, 2024, the rate was 8.84%). As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, total amounts outstanding were $66.0 million. This facility loan is collateralized by and was used for the acquisition of 19 properties (24 facilities). See note 4 of the financial statements included in Part I to this Form 10-Q.

 

The loan agreements covenants consist of (i) a covenant that the ratio of the Company’s indebtedness to its EBITDA cannot exceed 8.0 to 1, (ii) a covenant that the ratio of the Company’s net operating income to its debt service before dividend distribution is at least 1.20 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter as measured pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement, (iii) a covenant that the ratio of the Company’s net operating income to its debt service after dividend distribution is at least 1.05 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter as measured pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement, and (iii) a covenant that the Company’s GAAP equity is at least $20.0 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the loan covenants.

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

 

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

 

The Company believes that funds from operations (“FFO”), as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of our operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding the impact of straight-line rent, above-/below-market leases, non-cash compensation and certain non-recurring items. We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among REITs more meaningful. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding the applicable items listed above, FFO and AFFO can help investors compare our operating performance between periods or as compared to other companies.

 

While FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and AFFO also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor do they purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define AFFO differently than we do.

 

The following table reconciles our calculations of FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, to net income the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same periods:

 

FFO and AFFO

(1) Loss on real estate investment impairment: In February 2023, one facility under one of our Southern Illinois master leases was closed. The closure was made at the request of the tenant and was mainly for efficiency reasons. This facility was leased under a master lease with two other facilities. The closure did not result in any reduction in the aggregate rent payable under the master lease, which was paid without interruption. As a result of the closure, the Company is seeking to sell the property. Since the facility is no longer licensed to operate as a skilled nursing facility, the Company wrote off its remaining book value.

Subsequent Events

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification, as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base these estimates on our experience and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, if our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, we may have applied a different accounting treatment, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. We periodically reevaluate our estimates and assumptions, and in the event they prove to be different from actual results, we make adjustments in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Please refer to “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our 2023 Annual Report on 10-K filed on March 19, 2024, for further information regarding the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes in such critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

 

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business and investment objectives, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.

 

We may be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties. As of March 31, 2024, we had $59.9 million outstanding under our Series C Bonds, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.7% per annum, $67.1 million outstanding under our Series D Bonds, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.1% per annum, and $433.3 million in senior debt notes, of which $269.4 million are HUD guaranteed debt at a fixed interest rate of 3.91% and $163.9 million (30.3% of total debt) are floating rate debt, which bears interest at a variable rate equal to one-month SOFR plus a margin of 3.5% and a floor of 4% (as of March 31, 2024 the rate was 8.84%). As of March 31, 2024, one-month SOFR was 5.34%. Assuming no increase in the amount of our variable interest rate debt, if one-month SOFR increased 100 basis points, our annual cash flow would decrease by approximately $1.6 million. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we may borrow at fixed rates or variable rates. We also may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument.

 

42

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks (continued)

 

In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our future investments is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions, changes in currency rates between the Israeli Shekel and the U.S. Dollar and changes in the creditworthiness of tenants/operators, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As of March 31, 2024, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, as of March 31, 2024.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, that are not covered by insurance and expected to be resolved within policy limits, other than the following:

 

In March 2020, Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and certain companies owned by them filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Moishe Gubin, Michael Blisko, the Predecessor Company and 21 of its subsidiaries, as well as the operators of 17 of the facilities operated at our properties. The complaint was related to the Predecessor Company’s acquisition of 16 properties located in Arkansas and Kentucky that were completed between May 2018 and April 2019 and the attempt to purchase an additional five properties located in Massachusetts. The complaint was dismissed by the Court in 2020 on jurisdictional grounds. The plaintiffs did not file an appeal with respect to this action, and the time for an appeal has expired.

 

In August 2020, Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and several companies controlled by them filed a second complaint in the Circuit Court in Pulaski County, Arkansas. The second complaint had nearly identical claims as the federal case, but was limited to matters related to the Predecessor Company’s acquisition of properties located in Arkansas. The sellers, which were affiliates of Skyline Health Care, had encountered financial difficulties and requested the Predecessor Company to acquire these properties. The defendants have filed an answer denying the plaintiffs’ claims and asserting counterclaims based on breach of contract. This case has been dismissed without prejudice.

 

In January 2021, Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and certain companies owned by them filed a third complaint in Illinois state court in Cook County, Illinois, which has nearly identical claims to the initial federal case, but was limited to claims related to the Kentucky and Massachusetts properties. The complaint has not been properly served on any of the defendants, and, accordingly, the defendants did not responded to the complaint. Instead, the defendants filed a motion to quash service of process. On January 11, 2023, the Cook County Circuit Court entered an order granting such motion, quashing service of process on all defendants. In March 2023, the plaintiffs filed a new complaint and again attempted to serve it on the defendants. It is the defendants’ position that service was (once again, potentially) defective and sought a dismissal of the matter for want of prosecution by Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and certain companies owned by them. The dismissal was granted, but has been appealed to the Illinois Appellate Court, and now has been dismissed.

 

In April of 2024 . Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and several companies controlled by them filed a third complaint in the Circuit Court in Pulaski County, Arkansas. This third complaint had nearly identical claims as the federal case and the Illinois state court matter.

 

In each of these complaints, the plaintiffs asserted claims for fraud, breach of contract and rescission arising out of the defendants alleged failure to perform certain post-closing obligations under the purchase contracts. We have potential direct exposure for these claims because the subsidiaries of the Predecessor Company that were named as defendants are now subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Additionally, the Operating Partnership is potentially liable for the claims made against Moishe Gubin, Michael Blisko and the Predecessor Company pursuant to the provisions of the contribution agreement, under which the Operating Partnership assumed all of the liabilities of the Predecessor Company and agreed to indemnify the Predecessor Company and its affiliates for such liabilities. We and the named defendants believe that the claims set forth in the complaints are without merit. The named defendants intend to vigorously defend the litigation and to assert counterclaims against the plaintiffs based on their failure to fulfill their obligations under the purchase contracts, interim management agreement, and operations transfer agreements. We believe this matter will be resolved without a material adverse effect to the Company.

 

As noted above, the March 2020, January 2021 and April 2024 complaints also related to the Predecessor Company’s planned acquisition of five properties located in Massachusetts. A subsidiary of the Predecessor Company purchased loans related to these properties in 2018 for a price of $7.74 million with the expectation that the subsidiaries would acquire title to the properties and the loans would be retired. The subsidiary subsequently advanced $3.1 million under the loans to satisfy other liabilities related to the properties. The planned acquisition/settlement with the sellers/owners and/borrowers was not consummated because the underlying tenants of the properties surrendered their licenses to operate healthcare facilities on these properties.

 

The Predecessor Company intends to institute legal proceedings to collect the outstanding amount of these loans and to assert related claims against the sellers and their principals for the unpaid principal balances as well as protective advances and collection costs. In connection with enforcing their rights, in July 2022, the Company foreclosed, and (as lender) sold four of the five properties at auction for the total amount of $4.4 million. In December 2022, the Company took title on the fifth property with an estimated fair value of $1.2 million.

NOTE 1. Business

 

Overview

 

The Company

 

STRAWBERRY FIELDS REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation formed in July 2019. The Company commenced operations on June 8, 2021. The Company conducts its business through a traditional UPREIT structure in which substantially all of its assets are owned by subsidiaries of Strawberry Fields Realty, LP, a Delaware limited partnership formed in July 2019 (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company is the general partner of the Operating Partnership (“OP”). The Company owns approximately 12.6% of the outstanding OP units as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct the business affairs of the Operating Partnership, subject to certain limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners. The Company may cause the Operating Partnership to issue additional OP units in connection with property acquisitions, compensation or otherwise. The Company became a publicly traded entity on September 21, 2022.

 

The Company is engaged in the ownership, acquisition, financing and triple-net leasing of skilled nursing facilities and other post-acute healthcare properties. The Company’s portfolio consists of 100 healthcare properties with an aggregate of 12,449 licensed beds. The Company holds fee title to 97 of these properties and holds three properties under long-term leases. These properties are located in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. The Company generates substantially all of its revenues by leasing its properties to tenants under long-term leases primarily on a triple-net basis, under which the tenant pays the cost of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating costs of the facility and capital expenditures. Each healthcare facility located at its properties is managed by a qualified operator with an experienced management team.

 

Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Condensed Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s Condensed Consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2024, and the Condensed Consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

 

 

Variable Interest Entity

 

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

 

Non-Controlling Interest

 

A non-controlling interest is defined as the portion of the equity in an entity not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the primary beneficiary. Non-controlling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity on a Condensed Consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, the presentation of net income is modified to present the income attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests. The non-controlling interest on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated balance sheets represents OP units not held by the Company and represents approximately 87.4% of the outstanding OP Units issued by the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. OP Units are exchangeable 1 to 1 with shares of common stock. The holders of these OP units are entitled to share in cash distributions from the Operating Partnership in proportion to their percentage ownership of OP units. Net income is allocated to the non-controlling interest based on the weighted average of OP units outstanding during the period.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company maintains its accounting records on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

 

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents periodically exceed federally insurable limits. The Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances as appropriate; however, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to the cash in its operating accounts. On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $24.7 million and $22.7 million, respectively, on deposit in excess of federally insured limits. On April 30, 2023, the Company entered into Interbank Cash Sweep accounts to minimize exposure to loss of funds not federally insured. These sweep accounts held approximately $7.6 million and $0.9 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively.

 

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held by mortgage lenders to provide for real estate tax expenditures, tenant improvements, capital expenditures and security deposits, as well as escrow accounts related to principal and interest payments on Bonds.

 

Real Estate Depreciation

 

Real estate costs related to the acquisition and improvement of properties are capitalized and depreciated over the expected life of the asset on a straight-line basis. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. The Company does not incur expenditures for tenant improvements as they are the responsibility of the tenant per their respective leases. The Company anticipates the estimated useful lives of its assets by class to be generally as follows:

 

Building and improvements 7-45 years
Equipment and personal property 2-18 years

Real Estate Valuation

 

In determining fair value and the allocation of the purchase price of acquisitions, the Company uses current appraisals or third-party valuations services. The most significant components of these allocations are typically the allocation of fair value to land and buildings and, for certain of its acquisitions, in place leases and other intangible assets. In the case of the fair value of buildings and the allocation of value to land and other intangibles, the estimates of the values of these components will affect the amount of depreciation and amortization the Company records over the estimated useful life of the property acquired or the remaining lease term. In the case of the value of in place leases, the Company makes best estimates based on the evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. These assumptions affect the amount of future revenue that the Company will recognize over the remaining lease term for the acquired in place leases.

 

The Company evaluates each purchase transaction to determine whether the acquired assets meet the definition of a business. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that are not deemed to be businesses are included in the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs related to acquisitions that are deemed to be businesses are expensed as incurred. All of the Company’s acquisitions of investment properties qualified as asset acquisitions during the periods.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Substantially all of the Company’s 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 specified annual increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 1.0% and 3.0%;
     
  (ii) a calculation based on the Consumer Price Index; or
     
  (iii) specific dollar increases.

 

Contingent revenue is not recognized until all possible contingencies have been eliminated. The Company considers the operating history of the lessee and the general condition of the industry when evaluating whether all possible contingencies have been eliminated and have historically, and expect in the future, to not include contingent rents as income until received. The Company follows a policy related to rental income whereby the Company considers a lease to be non-performing after 60 days of non-payment of past due amounts and does not recognize unpaid rental income from that lease until the amounts have been received.

 

Rental revenues relating to non-contingent leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease are recognized on the straight-line basis. Recognizing income on a straight-line basis requires us to calculate the total non-contingent rent containing specified rental increases over the life of the lease and to recognize the revenue evenly over that life. This method results in rental income in the early years of a lease being higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset included in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated balance sheets. At some point during the lease, depending on its terms, the cash rent payments eventually exceed the straight-line rent which results in the straight-line rent receivable asset decreasing to zero over the remainder of the lease term. The Company assesses the collectability of straight-line rent in accordance with the applicable accounting standards and reserve policy. If the lessee becomes delinquent in rent owed under the terms of the lease, the Company may provide a reserve against the recognized straight-line rent receivable asset for a portion, up to its full value, that the Company estimates may not be recoverable.

Revenue Recognition (Cont.)

 

Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market leases are accreted to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods.

 

The Company reports revenues and expenses within our triple-net leased properties for real estate taxes that are escrowed and obligations of the tenants in accordance with their respective lease with us.

 

Gain from sale of real estate investments is recognized when control of the property is being transferred and it is probable that substantially all consideration will be collected.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company evaluates the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants, operators and borrowers on a monthly and quarterly basis. The Company’s evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, individual and portfolio property performance, credit enhancements, liquidity and other factors. The Company’s tenants, borrowers and operators furnish property, portfolio and guarantor/operator-level financial statements, among other information, on a monthly or quarterly basis; the Company utilizes this financial information to calculate the lease or debt service coverages that it uses as a primary credit quality indicator. Lease and debt service coverage information is evaluated together with other property, portfolio and operator performance information, including revenue, expense, net operating income, occupancy, rental rate, reimbursement trends, capital expenditures and EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization), along with other liquidity measures. The Company evaluates, on a monthly basis or immediately upon a significant change in circumstance, its tenants’, operators’ and borrowers’ ability to service their obligations with the Company.

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for straight-line rent receivables resulting from tenants’ inability to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments or lease defaults. For straight-line rent receivables, the Company’s assessment is based on amounts estimated to be recoverable over the lease term.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

 

The Company assesses the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles (“real estate assets”) when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company tests its real estate assets for impairment by comparing the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the real estate assets. The expected future undiscounted cash flows are calculated utilizing the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value exceeds the expected future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss will be recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the real estate assets is greater than their fair value.

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually based on certain qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Potential impairment indicators include a significant decline in real estate values, significant restructuring plans, current macroeconomic conditions, state of the equity and capital markets or a significant decline in the Company’s market capitalization. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company applies the required two-step quantitative approach. The quantitative procedures of the two-step approach (i) compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill, and, if necessary, (ii) compare the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying value as if it had been acquired in a business combination at the date of the impairment test. The excess fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of assets and liabilities, excluding goodwill, is the implied value of goodwill and is used to determine the impairment amount, if any. The Company has selected the fourth quarter of each fiscal year to perform its annual impairment test.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and operating leases on owned properties. These financial instruments are subject to the possibility of loss of carrying value as a result of the failure of other parties to perform according to their contractual obligations or changes in market prices which may make the instrument less valuable. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and equivalents are held with various financial institutions. From time to time, these balances exceed the federally insured limits. These balances are maintained with high quality financial institutions which management believes limits the risk.

 

With respect to notes receivable, the Company obtains various collateral and other protective rights, and continually monitors these rights, in order to reduce such possibilities of loss. In addition, the Company provides reserves for potential losses based upon management’s periodic review of our portfolio.

 

On March 31, 2024, the Company held four notes receivable with an outstanding balance of $17.3 million. The notes have maturities ranging from 2024 through 2046, and interest rates ranging from 2% to 11.50%. One of the notes is collateralized by tenants’ accounts receivable. All other notes receivable are uncollateralized as of March 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the Company held four notes receivable for a total amount of $17.7 million. As of March 31, 2024, all of these notes are paid monthly and are current.

 

Market Concentration Risk

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owned 97 properties and leased three and one property, respectively. The facilities are located in 9 states, with 20 facilities of its total facilities located in Illinois (which include 4,226 skilled nursing beds or 33.9% of the Company’s total beds) and 39 of its total facilities in Indiana (which include 3,240 skilled nursing beds or 26.0% of the Company’s total beds). Since tenant revenue is primarily generated from Medicare and Medicaid, the operations of the Company are indirectly subject to the administrative directives, rules and regulations of federal and state regulatory agencies, including, but not limited to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and the Department of Health and Aging in all states in which the Company operates. Such administrative directives, rules and regulations, including budgetary reimbursement funding, are subject to change by an act of Congress, the passage of laws by the state regulators or an administrative change mandated by one of the executive branch agencies. Such changes may occur with little notice or inadequate funding to pay for the related costs, including the additional administrative burden, to comply with a change.

 

Debt and Capital Raising Issuance Costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of equity interests are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Debt issuance costs related to debt instruments, excluding line of credit arrangements, are deferred, recorded as a reduction of the related debt liability, and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt liability utilizing the interest method. Deferred financing costs related to line of credit arrangements are deferred, recorded as an asset and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related line of credit arrangement utilizing the interest method.

 

Penalties incurred to extinguish debt and any remaining unamortized debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums are recognized as income or expense in the Condensed Consolidated statements of income at the time of extinguishment.

 

Segment Reporting

 

Accounting guidance regarding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information establishes standards for the manner in which public business enterprises report information about operating segments. The Company’s investment decisions in health care properties, and resulting investments are managed as a single operating segment for internal reporting and for internal decision-making purposes. Therefore, the Company has concluded that it operates as a single segment.

Basic and Diluted Income Per Common Share

 

The Company calculates basic income per common share by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. At March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 45,373,615 and 46,890,421 OP units outstanding which were potentially dilutive securities. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the assumed conversion of the OP units had no impact on basic income per share.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are translated into U.S. dollars use exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies that are translated into U.S. dollars use average rates of exchange in effect during the related period. Gains or losses resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of equity on the Condensed Consolidated balance sheets.

 

Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The effects of transaction gains or losses, if any, are included in other income, in the Condensed Consolidated statements of income.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company measures and discloses the fair value of nonfinancial and financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

 

● Level 1—quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

● Level 2—quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

● Level 3—fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The Company measures fair value using a set of standardized procedures that are outlined herein for all assets and liabilities which are required to be measured at fair value. When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. In instances where a market price is available, but the instrument is in an inactive or over-the-counter market, the Company consistently applies the dealer (market maker) pricing estimate and classifies the asset or liability in Level 2. If quoted market prices or inputs are not available, fair value measurements are based upon valuation models that utilize current market or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, option volatilities, credit spreads and/or market capitalization rates. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As a result, the asset or liability could be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. Internal fair value models and techniques used by the Company include discounted cash flow valuation models.

Real Estate Investments – Held for Sale

 

On March 31, 2024, the Company had one property included in real estate investments which was held for sale and carried at the lower of their net book value or fair value on a non-recurring basis on the Condensed Consolidated balance sheets. On December 31, 2023, the Company had one property included in real estate investments which was held for sale and carried at the lower of its net book value or fair value on a non-recurring basis on the Condensed Consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s real estate investments held for sale were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based payment awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated financial statements. ASC 718 requires all entities to apply a fair value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions. The Company recognizes share-based payments over the vesting period.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The main provisions are:

 

1. Require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”).

 

2. Require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. The other segment items category is the difference between segment revenue less the segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss.

 

3. Require that a public entity provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods.

 

4. Clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit

 

5. Require that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

 

6. Require that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this Update and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280.

 

This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.

 

This adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.  

 

In 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 is to provide temporary relief during the transition period. The Board included a sunset provision within Topic 848 based on expectations of when the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) would cease being published. At the time that Update 2020-04 was issued, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) had established its intent that it would no longer be necessary to persuade, or compel, banks to submit to LIBOR after December 31, 2021. As a result, the sunset provision was set for December 31, 2022- 12 months after the expected cessation date of all currencies and tenors of LIBOR. In March 2021, the FCA announced that the intended cessation date of the overnight 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12- month tenors of USD LIBOR would be June 30, 2023, which is beyond the current sunset date of Topic 848. Because the current relief in Topic 848 may not cover a period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, the amendments in ASU 2022-06 issued in December 2022, defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of Properties

 

On January 1, 2024, the Company commenced its lease for two skilled nursing facilities with 226 licensed beds near Johnson City, Tennessee. The lease includes a purchase option which the Company intends to exercise once certain conditions precedent are met.

 

On March 25, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for a property comprised of a 68-bed skilled nursing facility and 10 bed assisted living facility near Georgetown, Indiana. The acquisition is for $5.85 million and the Company expects to fund the acquisition utilizing cash from the balance sheet.

 

Other Properties

 

In February 2023, one facility under our southern Illinois master lease was closed. The closure was made at the request of the tenant and mainly for efficiency reasons. This facility is under a master lease with two other facilities. The closing did not affect the aggregate rent payable under the master lease, which has been paid without interruption. As a result of the closure, the Company has elected to sell the property. The Company has written off the remaining book value of this property and has recorded a loss on real estate investment impairment of approximately $2.5 million during the period ended March 31, 2023, since the facility is no longer licensed to operate as a skilled nursing facility. Additionally, the tenant continues to be responsible for ensuring the building is secure and paying utilities, real estate taxes and insurance bills.

NOTE 6. Leases (Cont.)

 

The following table provides summary information regarding the number of operational beds associated with a property leased by the Company and subleased to third-party operators:

Right of use assets and operating lease liabilities are disclosed as separate line items in the Condensed Consolidated balance sheets and are valued based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments at the lease commencement. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s operating lease obligation is for one skilled nursing facility in Indiana and two skilled nursing facilities in Tennessee. The Tennessee facilities are under one lease. The Indiana lease has an initial term that expires on March 1, 2028, and has two five-year renewal options. The lease is a triple net lease, which requires the Company to pay real and personal property taxes, insurance expenses and all capital improvements. The Company subleases the building as part of the Indiana master lease. Based on the sublease with the Company’s tenant, the tenant is required to pay real and personal property taxes, insurance expenses and all capital improvements. The Tennessee lease has an initial term that expires December 31, 2034, and has two five year renewal options. The lease is a triple net lease, which requires the Company to pay real and personal property taxes, insurance expenses and all capital improvements. The Company subleases the building as a separate master lease. Based on the sublease with the Company’s tenant, the tenant is required to pay real and personal property taxes, insurance expenses and all capital improvements.

In addition to interest payments, the Company pays HUD annual mortgage insurance premiums of 0.65% of the loan balances. As a result, the overall interest rate paid by the Company with respect to the HUD guaranteed loans as of March 31, 2024 was 3.91% and December 31, 2023 was 3.93% (including the mortgage insurance premium).

Interest on the Series C Bonds is payable semi-annually in arrears on July 31 and January 31 of each year. The interest rate may increase if certain financial ratios are not achieved, as discussed below.

 

Payment Terms

 

The principal amount of the Series C Bonds is payable in five annual installments due on July 31 of each of the years 2022 through 2026. The first four principal payments are equal to 6% of the original principal amount of the Series C Bonds, and the last principal payments is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Series C Bonds.

 

Financial Covenants

● The stockholders’ equity of the BVI Company may not be less than $230 million.

 

● The ratio of the Condensed Consolidated stockholders’ equity of the BVI Company to its total Condensed Consolidated balance sheet may not be less than 25%.

Dividend Restrictions

 

The indenture for the Series C Bonds limits the amount of dividends that may be paid by the BVI Company to the Operating Partnership. The BVI Company may not make any distribution unless all of the following conditions are fulfilled (with all amounts calculated under IFRS):

 

● The distribution amount may not exceed 80% of the net profit after tax that is recognized in the most recent Condensed Consolidated financial statements of the BVI Company, less profits or losses arising from a change in accounting methods, net of revaluation profits/losses (that have not yet been realized) arising from a change in the fair value of the assets with respect to the fair value in the prior reporting period.

 

● The ratio of the consolidated stockholders’ equity of the BVI Company to its total consolidated balance sheet may not be less than 30%.

 

● The distributable profits for which no distribution was performed in a specific year will be added to the following quarters.

 

● The BVI Company’s equity at the end of the last quarter, before the distribution of dividends, less the dividends distributed, may not be less than $250 million.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the BVI Company met these financial conditions, and the BVI Company was not in violation of any of its material undertakings to the holders of the Series C Bonds.

 

Increase in Interest Rate

 

In the event that:

 

(i) the stockholders’ equity of the BVI Company (excluding minority interests) is less than $250 million;

 

(ii) the ratio of the adjusted net financial debt to adjusted EBITDA (for the latest four quarters) exceeds 11;

 

(iii) the ratio of the consolidated equity of the BVI Company to total consolidated assets of the BVI Company is below 27%; or

 

(iv) the ratio of outstanding amount of the Series C Bonds to the fair market value of the collateral for the Series C Bonds exceeds 75%,

 

then, in each case, the interest on the Series C Bonds will increase by an additional 0.5% annually, but only once with respect to each failure to meet these requirements. Compliance with these financial covenants is measured quarterly.

 

Additionally, if a decline in the rating of the Series C Bonds should take place, then for each single ratings decrease, the interest will be increased by 0.25% per year, up to a maximum increment of 1.25% annually.

 

In any case, the total increase in the interest rate as a result of the above adjustments will not exceed 1.5% per year. The increases in the interest rate will also be reversed if the BVI Company regains compliance.

Security

 

The Series C Bonds are secured by first mortgage liens on nine properties. In addition, the Series C Bonds are also secured by interest and expenses reserves.

Under the terms of the indenture for the Series C Bonds, the BVI Company can take out properties from the collateral (in case of HUD refinancing) or to add properties and increase the Series C Bonds as long as the ratio of outstanding amount of the Series C Bonds to fair market value of the collateral is not more than 65%. In addition, starting from July 1, 2023, if the fair market value of the collateral is below 55%, the BVI Company can request to release collateral so the fair market value will increase to 55%. As of March 31, 2024, the ratio of outstanding Series C Bonds to fair value of the collateral was 51.7%.

 

Additional Bonds

 

The BVI Company can issue additional Series C Bonds at any time not to exceed a maximum outstanding of NIS 630 million (or $171 million).

 

Redemption Provisions

 

The BVI Company may, at its discretion, call the Series C Bonds for early repayment. In the event of the redemption of all of the Series C Bonds, the BVI Company would be required to pay the highest of the following amounts:

the par value of the Series C Bonds available for early redemption in circulation (i.e., the principal balance of the Series C Bonds plus accrued interest until the date of the actual early redemption); or
   
the balance of the payments under the Series C Bonds (consisting of future payments of principal and interest), when discounted to their present value based on the annual yield of the Israeli government bonds plus an “additional rate.” The additional rate will be 1.0% per annum for early repayment performed by September 30, 2022, 2.5% from October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023, and 3.0% thereafter.

The Company guarantees from time-to-time obligations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

 

Contingencies

 

The Company’s operating results and financial condition are dependent on the ability of its tenants to meet their lease obligations to us.

 

We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, that are not covered by insurance and expected to be resolved within policy limits, other than the following:

 

In March 2020, Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and certain companies owned by them filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Moishe Gubin, Michael Blisko, the Predecessor Company and 21 of its subsidiaries, as well as the operators of 17 of the facilities operated at our properties. The complaint was related to the Predecessor Company’s acquisition of 16 properties located in Arkansas and Kentucky that were completed between May 2018 and April 2019 and the attempt to purchase an additional five properties located in Massachusetts. The complaint was dismissed by the Court in 2020 on jurisdictional grounds. The plaintiffs did not file an appeal with respect to this action, and the time for an appeal has expired.

 

In August 2020, Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and several companies controlled by them filed a second complaint in the Circuit Court in Pulaski County, Arkansas. The second complaint had nearly identical claims as the federal case, but was limited to matters related to the Predecessor Company’s acquisition of properties located in Arkansas. The sellers, which were affiliates of Skyline Health Care, had encountered financial difficulties and requested the Predecessor Company to acquire these properties. The defendants have filed an answer denying the plaintiffs’ claims and asserting counterclaims based on breach of contract. This case has been dismissed without prejudice.

 

In January 2021, Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and certain companies owned by them filed a third complaint in Illinois state court in Cook County, Illinois, which has nearly identical claims to the initial federal case, but was limited to claims related to the Kentucky and Massachusetts properties. The complaint has not been properly served on any of the defendants, and, accordingly, the defendants did not responded to the complaint. Instead, the defendants filed a motion to quash service of process. On January 11, 2023, the Cook County Circuit Court entered an order granting such motion, quashing service of process on all defendants. In March 2023, the plaintiffs filed a new complaint and again attempted to serve it on the defendants. It is the defendants’ position that service was (once again, potentially) defective and sought a dismissal of the matter for want of prosecution by Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and certain companies owned by them. The dismissal was granted, but has been appealed to the Illinois Appellate Court, and now has been dismissed.

 

In April of 2024, Joseph Schwartz, Rosie Schwartz and several companies controlled by them filed a third complaint in the Circuit Court in Pulaski County, Arkansas. This third complaint had nearly identical claims as the federal case and the Illinois state court matter.

 

In each of these complaints, the plaintiffs asserted claims for fraud, breach of contract and rescission arising out of the defendants’ alleged failure to perform certain post-closing obligations under the purchase contracts. We have potential direct exposure for these claims because the subsidiaries of the Predecessor Company that were named as defendants are now subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Additionally, the Operating Partnership is potentially liable for the claims made against Moishe Gubin, Michael Blisko and the Predecessor Company pursuant to the provisions of the contribution agreement, under which the Operating Partnership assumed all of the liabilities of the Predecessor Company and agreed to indemnify the Predecessor Company and its affiliates for such liabilities. We and the named defendants believe that the claims set forth in the complaints are without merit. The named defendants intend to vigorously defend the litigation and to assert counterclaims against the plaintiffs based on their failure to fulfill their obligations under the purchase contracts, interim management agreement, and operations transfer agreements. We believe this matter will be resolved without a material adverse effect to the Company.

 

As noted above, the March 2020, January 2021 and April 2024 complaints also related to the Predecessor Company’s planned acquisition of five properties located in Massachusetts. A subsidiary of the Predecessor Company purchased loans related to these properties in 2018 for a price of $7.74 million with the expectation that the subsidiaries would acquire title to the properties and the loans would be retired. The subsidiary subsequently advanced $3.1 million under the loans to satisfy other liabilities related to the properties. The planned acquisition/settlement with the sellers/owners and/borrowers was not consummated because the underlying tenants of the properties surrendered their licenses to operate healthcare facilities on these properties.

 

The Predecessor Company intends to institute legal proceedings to collect the outstanding amount of these loans and to assert related claims against the sellers and their principals for the unpaid principal balances as well as protective advances and collection costs. In connection with enforcing their rights, in July 2022, the Company foreclosed, and (as lender) sold four of the five properties at auction for the total amount of $4.4 million. In December 2022, the Company took title on the fifth property with an estimated fair value of $1.2 million.

NOTE 10. Stockholders’ Equity and Distributions

 

The Company elected and qualified to be treated as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2022. U.S. federal income tax law requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its net taxable income, excluding net capital gains, and that it pays tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its net taxable income, including net capital gains. In addition, a REIT is required to pay a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which the distributions that it makes in a calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of its ordinary income, 95% of its capital gain net income and 100% of its undistributed income from prior years.

 

As of March 31, 2024, there were a total of 6,468,508 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The outstanding shares were held by a total of approximately 812 stockholders of record, including certain affiliates of the Company who held 938,722 of these shares.

 

As of March 31, 2024, there were 45,373,615 OP units outstanding. Under the terms of the partnership agreement for the Operating Partnership, such holders have the right to request the cash redemption of their OP units. If a holder requests redemption, the Company has the option of issuing shares of common stock to the requesting holder instead of cash. The OP unit holders are required to obtain Company approval prior to the sale or transfer of any or all of such holder’s OP units.

 

The Company has reserved a total of 45,373,615 shares of common stock that may be issued, at the Company’s option, upon redemption of the OP units outstanding as of March 31, 2024.

Income Taxes

NOTE 12. Income Taxes

 

The Company elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal income tax on its net taxable income that it distributes currently to its stockholders. Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they distribute each year at least 90% of their REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, the Company’s income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and the Company would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which the Company ceased to qualify as a REIT. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, it may still be subject to state and local taxes on its income and assets and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

 

The Company follows recent accounting guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions.

 

A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-than-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

 

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents periodically exceed federally insurable limits. The Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances as appropriate; however, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to the cash in its operating accounts. On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $24.7 million and $22.7 million, respectively, on deposit in excess of federally insured limits. On April 30, 2023, the Company entered into Interbank Cash Sweep accounts to minimize exposure to loss of funds not federally insured. These sweep accounts held approximately $7.6 million and $0.9 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively.

 

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held by mortgage lenders to provide for real estate tax expenditures, tenant improvements, capital expenditures and security deposits, as well as escrow accounts related to principal and interest payments on Bonds.

 

Real Estate Depreciation

Real Estate Depreciation

 

Real estate costs related to the acquisition and improvement of properties are capitalized and depreciated over the expected life of the asset on a straight-line basis. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. The Company does not incur expenditures for tenant improvements as they are the responsibility of the tenant per their respective leases. The Company anticipates the estimated useful lives of its assets by class to be generally as follows:

 

Building and improvements 7-45 years
Equipment and personal property 2-18 years

NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

 

Real Estate Valuation

Real Estate Valuation

 

In determining fair value and the allocation of the purchase price of acquisitions, the Company uses current appraisals or third-party valuations services. The most significant components of these allocations are typically the allocation of fair value to land and buildings and, for certain of its acquisitions, in place leases and other intangible assets. In the case of the fair value of buildings and the allocation of value to land and other intangibles, the estimates of the values of these components will affect the amount of depreciation and amortization the Company records over the estimated useful life of the property acquired or the remaining lease term. In the case of the value of in place leases, the Company makes best estimates based on the evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. These assumptions affect the amount of future revenue that the Company will recognize over the remaining lease term for the acquired in place leases.

 

The Company evaluates each purchase transaction to determine whether the acquired assets meet the definition of a business. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that are not deemed to be businesses are included in the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs related to acquisitions that are deemed to be businesses are expensed as incurred. All of the Company’s acquisitions of investment properties qualified as asset acquisitions during the periods.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Substantially all of the Company’s 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 specified annual increase over the prior year’s rent, generally between 1.0% and 3.0%;
     
  (ii) a calculation based on the Consumer Price Index; or
     
  (iii) specific dollar increases.

 

Contingent revenue is not recognized until all possible contingencies have been eliminated. The Company considers the operating history of the lessee and the general condition of the industry when evaluating whether all possible contingencies have been eliminated and have historically, and expect in the future, to not include contingent rents as income until received. The Company follows a policy related to rental income whereby the Company considers a lease to be non-performing after 60 days of non-payment of past due amounts and does not recognize unpaid rental income from that lease until the amounts have been received.

 

Rental revenues relating to non-contingent leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease are recognized on the straight-line basis. Recognizing income on a straight-line basis requires us to calculate the total non-contingent rent containing specified rental increases over the life of the lease and to recognize the revenue evenly over that life. This method results in rental income in the early years of a lease being higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset included in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated balance sheets. At some point during the lease, depending on its terms, the cash rent payments eventually exceed the straight-line rent which results in the straight-line rent receivable asset decreasing to zero over the remainder of the lease term. The Company assesses the collectability of straight-line rent in accordance with the applicable accounting standards and reserve policy. If the lessee becomes delinquent in rent owed under the terms of the lease, the Company may provide a reserve against the recognized straight-line rent receivable asset for a portion, up to its full value, that the Company estimates may not be recoverable.

Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market leases are accreted to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods.

 

The Company reports revenues and expenses within our triple-net leased properties for real estate taxes that are escrowed and obligations of the tenants in accordance with their respective lease with us.

 

Gain from sale of real estate investments is recognized when control of the property is being transferred and it is probable that substantially all consideration will be collected.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company evaluates the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants, operators and borrowers on a monthly and quarterly basis. The Company’s evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, individual and portfolio property performance, credit enhancements, liquidity and other factors. The Company’s tenants, borrowers and operators furnish property, portfolio and guarantor/operator-level financial statements, among other information, on a monthly or quarterly basis; the Company utilizes this financial information to calculate the lease or debt service coverages that it uses as a primary credit quality indicator. Lease and debt service coverage information is evaluated together with other property, portfolio and operator performance information, including revenue, expense, net operating income, occupancy, rental rate, reimbursement trends, capital expenditures and EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization), along with other liquidity measures. The Company evaluates, on a monthly basis or immediately upon a significant change in circumstance, its tenants’, operators’ and borrowers’ ability to service their obligations with the Company.

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for straight-line rent receivables resulting from tenants’ inability to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments or lease defaults. For straight-line rent receivables, the Company’s assessment is based on amounts estimated to be recoverable over the lease term.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

 

The Company assesses the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles (“real estate assets”) when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company tests its real estate assets for impairment by comparing the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the real estate assets. The expected future undiscounted cash flows are calculated utilizing the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value exceeds the expected future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss will be recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the real estate assets is greater than their fair value.

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually based on certain qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Potential impairment indicators include a significant decline in real estate values, significant restructuring plans, current macroeconomic conditions, state of the equity and capital markets or a significant decline in the Company’s market capitalization. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company applies the required two-step quantitative approach. The quantitative procedures of the two-step approach (i) compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill, and, if necessary, (ii) compare the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying value as if it had been acquired in a business combination at the date of the impairment test. The excess fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of assets and liabilities, excluding goodwill, is the implied value of goodwill and is used to determine the impairment amount, if any. The Company has selected the fourth quarter of each fiscal year to perform its annual impairment test.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and operating leases on owned properties. These financial instruments are subject to the possibility of loss of carrying value as a result of the failure of other parties to perform according to their contractual obligations or changes in market prices which may make the instrument less valuable. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and equivalents are held with various financial institutions. From time to time, these balances exceed the federally insured limits. These balances are maintained with high quality financial institutions which management believes limits the risk.

 

With respect to notes receivable, the Company obtains various collateral and other protective rights, and continually monitors these rights, in order to reduce such possibilities of loss. In addition, the Company provides reserves for potential losses based upon management’s periodic review of our portfolio.

 

On March 31, 2024, the Company held four notes receivable with an outstanding balance of $17.3 million. The notes have maturities ranging from 2024 through 2046, and interest rates ranging from 2% to 11.50%. One of the notes is collateralized by tenants’ accounts receivable. All other notes receivable are uncollateralized as of March 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the Company held four notes receivable for a total amount of $17.7 million. As of March 31, 2024, all of these notes are paid monthly and are current.

 

Market Concentration Risk

Market Concentration Risk

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owned 97 properties and leased three and one property, respectively. The facilities are located in 9 states, with 20 facilities of its total facilities located in Illinois (which include 4,226 skilled nursing beds or 33.9% of the Company’s total beds) and 39 of its total facilities in Indiana (which include 3,240 skilled nursing beds or 26.0% of the Company’s total beds). Since tenant revenue is primarily generated from Medicare and Medicaid, the operations of the Company are indirectly subject to the administrative directives, rules and regulations of federal and state regulatory agencies, including, but not limited to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and the Department of Health and Aging in all states in which the Company operates. Such administrative directives, rules and regulations, including budgetary reimbursement funding, are subject to change by an act of Congress, the passage of laws by the state regulators or an administrative change mandated by one of the executive branch agencies. Such changes may occur with little notice or inadequate funding to pay for the related costs, including the additional administrative burden, to comply with a change.

 

Debt and Capital Raising Issuance Costs

Debt and Capital Raising Issuance Costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of equity interests are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Debt issuance costs related to debt instruments, excluding line of credit arrangements, are deferred, recorded as a reduction of the related debt liability, and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt liability utilizing the interest method. Deferred financing costs related to line of credit arrangements are deferred, recorded as an asset and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related line of credit arrangement utilizing the interest method.

 

Penalties incurred to extinguish debt and any remaining unamortized debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums are recognized as income or expense in the Condensed Consolidated statements of income at the time of extinguishment.

 

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

 

Accounting guidance regarding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information establishes standards for the manner in which public business enterprises report information about operating segments. The Company’s investment decisions in health care properties, and resulting investments are managed as a single operating segment for internal reporting and for internal decision-making purposes. Therefore, the Company has concluded that it operates as a single segment.

Basic and Diluted Income Per Common Share

Basic and Diluted Income Per Common Share

 

The Company calculates basic income per common share by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. At March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 45,373,615 and 46,890,421 OP units outstanding which were potentially dilutive securities. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the assumed conversion of the OP units had no impact on basic income per share.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are translated into U.S. dollars use exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies that are translated into U.S. dollars use average rates of exchange in effect during the related period. Gains or losses resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of equity on the Condensed Consolidated balance sheets.

 

Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The effects of transaction gains or losses, if any, are included in other income, in the Condensed Consolidated statements of income.

 

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company measures and discloses the fair value of nonfinancial and financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

 

● Level 1—quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

● Level 2—quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

● Level 3—fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The Company measures fair value using a set of standardized procedures that are outlined herein for all assets and liabilities which are required to be measured at fair value. When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. In instances where a market price is available, but the instrument is in an inactive or over-the-counter market, the Company consistently applies the dealer (market maker) pricing estimate and classifies the asset or liability in Level 2. If quoted market prices or inputs are not available, fair value measurements are based upon valuation models that utilize current market or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, option volatilities, credit spreads and/or market capitalization rates. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As a result, the asset or liability could be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. Internal fair value models and techniques used by the Company include discounted cash flow valuation models.

Require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”).

 

2. Require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. The other segment items category is the difference between segment revenue less the segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss.

 

3. Require that a public entity provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods.

 

4. Clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit

 

5. Require that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

 

6. Require that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this Update and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280.

 

This Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.

 

This adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.  

 

In 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 is to provide temporary relief during the transition period. The Board included a sunset provision within Topic 848 based on expectations of when the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) would cease being published. At the time that Update 2020-04 was issued, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) had established its intent that it would no longer be necessary to persuade, or compel, banks to submit to LIBOR after December 31, 2021. As a result, the sunset provision was set for December 31, 2022- 12 months after the expected cessation date of all currencies and tenors of LIBOR. In March 2021, the FCA announced that the intended cessation date of the overnight 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12- month tenors of USD LIBOR would be June 30, 2023, which is beyond the current sunset date of Topic 848. Because the current relief in Topic 848 may not cover a period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, the amendments in ASU 2022-06 issued in December 2022, defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition, a REIT is required to pay a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which the distributions that it makes in a calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of its ordinary income, 95% of its capital gain net income and 100% of its undistributed income from prior years
