REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors of

Sunrise Operations Knowle Limited, Sunrise Operations Hale Barns Limited, Sunrise of Knowle Limited and Sunrise of Hale Barns Limited (“the Companies”):

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Companies as of December 31, 2011, and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in invested capital, and cash flows for the year then ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Companies at December 31, 2011, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

 

 

1.	ORGANISATION AND PRESENTATION

Organisation

Sunrise of Knowle Limited and Sunrise of Hale Barns Limited (the “Propcos”) were registered and incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands on 26 February 2007 and 6 May 2007 respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the Propcos were 100% owned by PS UK II Prop Holding Sarl, a company registered and incorporated in Luxembourg.

Sunrise Operations Knowle Limited and Sunrise Operations Hale Barns Limited (the “Opcos”) were registered and incorporated in England and Wales on 22 August 2007 and 23 November 2007 respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the Opcos were also 100% owned by PS UK II Prop Holding Sarl.

PS UK II Prop Holding Sarl is itself 100% owned by PS UK Investment II (Jersey) Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), a partnership formed under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands on 10 January 2007, between Sunrise Senior Living International Limited Partnership (“Sunrise LP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc (“Sunrise”), Senior Housing UK Investment II Limited Partnership (“SHIPII”), SunCo II LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunrise and PS UK II GP Limited.

PS UK II GP Limited was registered and incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands on 26 December 2006 between Sunrise LP and SHIPII. PS UK II GP Limited was established to act as General Partner of the Partnership. The General Partner is responsible for the management and control of the business affairs of the Partnership and has the right to transact business and sign documents in the Partnership’s name. The General Partner must obtain the approval of the board of directors for certain major transactions as defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement.

The principal activities of the Propcos are development, maintenance and owning property for the purpose of the property rental to the Opcos.

The principal activity of the Opcos is the provision of accommodation and non-complex medical care to elderly residents for a monthly fee. The Opcos’ services will generally not be covered by health insurance so the monthly fees will be payable by the residents, their family, or another responsible party.

The locations and opening dates of the individual communities (the “Communities”) are as follows:

 

Communities		Location		Date Opened
Sunrise of Knowle Limited		Knowle, West Midlands		March 2009

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting — The accompanying combined financial statements include the combined financial statements of the Companies after elimination of all intercompany accounts and intercompany transactions. The financial results of the Companies have been combined to reflect the combined results of the two Communities which are under the common ownership and control of PS UK II GP Limited through common ownership by PS UK II Prop Holding Sarl and its parent undertaking, PS UK Investment II (Jersey) Limited Partnership. The Companies reviewed subsequent events up to March 22, 2013, the date the combined financial statements were approved and issued.

Basis of Preparation — Going concern — The Companies have made a combined net loss after tax of £2,148,000 for the year ended 2011 and have a combined invested capital deficit of £10,045,000 as of December 31, 2011. In preparing the combined financial statements, the directors have reviewed the combined position as of the balance sheet date and the results for the period then ended.

In light of the reported combined position and performance, the directors have considered the changes in circumstances that have arisen as part of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, described in Note 10, dated August 31, 2012, whereby HCN UK Investment Limited acquired the Companies, repaid the bank loans and settled the subordinate debt.

Also, in September 2012, the directors received a confirmation from HCN UK Investments Limited, that it would, if required, provide financial support to the Companies for the foreseeable future.

As a result of their review and in light of the confirmation of support, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate for the combined financial statements for the year ended 2011.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to the useful lives of assets, recoverability of investments in property and equipment, recoverable amounts of receivables and amortization periods of deferred costs and valuation of options to extend bank loans. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost, inclusive of directly attributable finance costs. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets once they are brought into use, as follows:

 

Building and building improvements			15-40 years
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment			5 years

Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognised when the asset’s undiscounted expected cash flows are not sufficient to recover its carrying amount. The Companies measure an impairment loss for such assets by comparing the fair value of the assets to its carrying amount. Fair value of an asset is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows. No impairment charges were recorded in 2011.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Throughout the year, the Companies may have cash balances in excess of government insured amounts on deposit with various financial institutions. The Companies consider all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash — Restricted cash balances represent deposits received from potential residents. The cash is moved from the restricted cash accounts to the operational cash accounts once the resident has moved into the community and the deposit is no longer refundable.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Trade Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the lower of their original invoiced value and recoverable amount. Where the time value of money is material, receivables are carried at amortized cost. The Companies provide an allowance for doubtful accounts on their outstanding receivables balance based on its collection history and an estimate of uncollectible accounts.

Leases — Assets held under finance leases, which are leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have passed to the Group, are capitalised in the balance sheet and are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the assets’ useful lives. The capital elements of future obligations under leases are included as liabilities in the balance sheet. The interest elements of the rental charges are charged in the profit and loss account over the periods of the leases and represent a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term. The lease rental payments are all intercompany transactions so the balances have been eliminated in the preparation of these financial statements.

Deferred Financing Costs — Costs incurred in conjunction with obtaining permanent financing for the Companies have been deferred and are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the debt instrument.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue — Operating revenue consists of resident fee revenue, including resident community fees. Resident community fees are deferred and recognised as income over one year, corresponding to the period over which resident are expected to reside within the communities with no increase in fees. Generally, the agreements are cancelable by residents with 30 days notice. All other resident fee revenue is recognised when services are rendered. The Companies invoice the residents monthly in advance of the services being rendered, and therefore, revenue is deferred until the services are rendered and the revenue is earned through the month of occupancy.

Deferred Taxes — Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities recognised for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognised for tax purposes. Current year amounts payable or refundable are recorded, as well as the consequences of events that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences in how these events are treated for tax purposes. Estimates of deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on current tax laws and rates and, in certain cases, business plans and other expectations about future outcomes. A valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets is provided when it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be generated to utilise the net deferred tax assets.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments — The valuation of derivative instruments requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the fair value of the instruments. Fair values for our derivatives are estimated by utilizing pricing models that consider forward yield curves and discount rates. Such amounts and the recognition of such amounts are subject to significant estimates that may change in the future. Prior to the exercise bank loan extension options are recognised on the balance sheet under current assets and post exercise they are amortised over a period of 12 months, with the unamortised portion included within bank loans – current portion (refer to Note 8 for further detail)

Fair Value Measurement — Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC Fair Value Measurements Topic establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels. These levels, in order of highest priority to lowest priority, are described below:

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Level 2 — Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.

The fair value derivative financial instruments has been estimated based on current rates offered for debt with the same remaining maturities and comparable collateralizing assets. Changes in assumptions or methodologies used to make estimates may have a material effect on the estimate of fair value. Level 2 type inputs have been used to determine the estimated fair value of debt and derivative financial instruments.

Cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, subordinate debt, and other current assets and liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values.

Segmental reporting — The communities represent a single segment.

Foreign currencies — The combined financial statements are presented in Sterling which is the Companies’ functional and presentational currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into sterling at the rates ruling when they occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are retranslated at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Any differences are taken to the statement of operations.

Legal Contingencies — We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. An accrual is recorded for loss contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonable estimated. Accruals are reviewed regularly and revisions are made based on changes in facts and circumstances.

New Accounting Standards

The following Accounting Standards Update “ASU” was issued in 2009:

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) – Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”). It requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their respective selling prices. It eliminated the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognized revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables subject to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 605-25 – Revenue – Multiple Element Arrangements. It no longer requires third party evidence. ASU 2009-13 was effective for us January 1, 2011 and did not have a material impact on the combined financial statements.

The following ASUs were issued in 2010:

ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and disclosures (Topic 820), Improving Disclosures about fair Value Measurements, requires separate disclosures of transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements along with the reason for the transfer. ASU 2010-06 also requires separately presenting in the reconciliation for Level 3 fair value measurements purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. It clarifies the disclosure regarding the level of disaggregation and input and valuation techniques. Certain portions of ASU 2010-06 were effective in the first quarter of 2010, and the portions of ASU 2010-06 which effect Level 3 reconciliation was effective for us January 1, 2011 and did not have a material impact on the combined financial statements.

New Accounting Standards (continued)

The following ASUs were issued in 2011:

ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS, clarifies some existing rules but does not require additional fair value measurements, is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practice outside of financial reporting. A specific clarification relates to the concepts of “highest and best use” and “valuation premise” which are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets and are not relevant when measuring fair value of financial assets or liabilities. Additional disclosures for Level 3 measurements include the valuation process used and the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. ASU 2011-04 is effective for us January 1, 2012 and is not expected to have a material impact on the combined financial statements.

ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosure about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2011-11 is effective for us January 1, 2013 and is not expected to have a material impact on the combined financial statements.

 

3.	TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Each Community Opco and Propco has entered into a management and development agreement with Sunrise Senior Living Limited (“SSL Ltd”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunrise, to provide development, design, construction, management and operational services relating to the Communities.

Under the development agreements, SSL Ltd., as developer of the properties, will receive development revenue of 4% of total project costs for each facility, pre-opening fees equal to 2.5% of total project costs for each facility and may be eligible to receive a performance fee equal to 0.5% of total project costs, if certain criteria are met. Total development fees incurred by the Propcos in 2011 were £nil.

Under the management agreements, with SSL Ltd., as manager of the Communities will receive management fees equal to 7.5% of revenue, with a minimum fee of £17,500 per community, based on occupancy levels and quarterly accounting services fees equal to 0.0625% of total asset value. Total management fees incurred by the Communities in 2011 were £842,617.

The Communities have an amount due to SSL Limited of £211,791 as at December 31, 2011 relating to the above described transactions as well as running cost paid by SSL Limited on behalf of the facilities. This is payable is due on demand and is non-interest bearing.

The Communities have an amount due to the Partnership of £9,884 as at December 31, 2011 as a result of invoices settled by the Partnership on behalf of the Communities.

TAXES

The Opcos are subject to UK corporation tax at 26.5% on their trading profits and the Propcos are subject to UK income tax, under the non-resident landlord regime, at 20% for 2011 on profits generated by the “Property” business as a result of owning land in the UK.

In prior years, the property companies were also subject to tax in Jersey (although double tax relief was available). As of 1 January 2009, Jersey has reduced its corporation tax rate to zero.

Closing deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the following tax rates, being the rates enacted at the balance sheet date:

 

-  UK operating companies: 25%		(UK Corporation tax rate)
-  Jersey property companies: 20%		(UK income tax rate)

At December 31, 2011, PropCos have tax losses carried forward of £1,080,000 that do not expire. A deferred tax balance exists as the Company believe it is more likely than not that there will be sufficient taxable profit in these entities against which to utilize the losses.

The Company has tax losses carried forward of £10,604,000 that do not expire at the OpCos with a full valuation allowance because the Companies believe it is more likely than not that there will not be adequate profits generated in the future by these entities to utilize the tax losses.

All deferred tax liabilities have been recognised.

The Finance Act 2011 included legislation to reduce the main rate of corporation tax from 26% to 25% from 1 April 2012. As this change was enacted on 5 July 2011 and therefore before the balance sheet date, deferred tax is recognized at 25% in the current period.

The effect on the Companies of further proposed reductions in the UK main rate of corporation tax will be reflected in the company’s financial statements in future years, as appropriate, once the changes have been enacted

The rate changes will also impact the amount of future tax payments to be made by the Companies.

A summary of the loans’ terms and balances at December 31, 2011 are as follows:

 

Communities		Lender		Effective Interest Rate %			Maturity Date			Initial Loan Commitment		Loan Balance as of December 31, 2011
										£000
												£000
Knowle		Barclays Bank plc		LIBOR + 3.25			2013			29,404		22,335
Hale Barns		Bank of Scotland plc		LIBOR + 1.25			2012			21,281		18,623

As part of the August 31, 2012 transaction, the Propcos’s loans were fully paid off in the amount of £57,358,222 (see Note 10).

The carrying value of the bank loan includes the unamortized portion of loan extension options (as described in Note 8) previously exercised, which are amortized over the period of benefit, which in each case is 1 year. At December 31, 2011 the balance of unamortized loan extension options was £909,000.

6.	BANK LOANS (CONTINUED)

£21,281,000 bank loan

This loan was secured by the Hale Barns Community and has bi-annual payments. The balance was repayable in full in December 2012 after the final extension option was exercised in December 2011 .

Knowle			13,711
Hale Barns			7,263
			20,974

The subordinate debt was fully repaid on August 31, 2012 (see Note 10).

 

8.	FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

Cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, subordinate debt — The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Bank loans — The carrying amount of variable rate secured debt approximates fair value because the borrowings are interest rate adjustable.

Bank loan extension options — The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these derivative financial instruments are calculated using level 2 type inputs such as observable gilt rates and comparable prices available on similar instruments.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments are as follows:

 

		December 31, 2011

9.	CONTINGENCIES

The Companies are involved in claims and lawsuits incidental to the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims and lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty, management of the Companies does not believe the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Companies’ financial position.

The Companies have granted there lender a deed of debenture over all their assets in respect of monies due to the bank by the Companies.

The senior living business entails an inherent risk of liability from personal injury claims, abuse and neglect claims and other claims. The companies, as well as other participants in our industry, are subject to lawsuits alleging these and similar claims. These lawsuits may involve large claims and significant legal costs. The companies maintain liability insurance policies in amounts believed to be adequate based on the nature and risks of our business, historical experience and industry standards. The Companies’ insurance policies concerning medical malpractice cover all individual claims in excess of £25,000.

 

10.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 31, 2012, HCN UK Investments, a wholly owned subsidiary of HCN entered into agreements with PS UK II Prop Holding Sarl to acquire the Opcos and Propcos for a total initial consideration of £60,730,000. As part of the acquisition, HCN repaid the existing subordinated and external debt at that time totaling £57,358,222 and replaced it with Promissory Notes bearing interest of 7.1% per annum.

The Opcos executed new management agreements with Sunrise Senior Living Limited which became effective as of January 9, 2013. The new agreements provide for payment of a base management fee based on gross revenues as previously was the case but the amount of management fees are expected to reduce following adoption of the new agreement. The agreements are for an initial term of 15 years with an automatic renewal for an additional 15 years if certain Net Operating Income thresholds (as defined in the agreements) are met. It is not possible to accurately determine the future fees since amounts are dependent on future operating revenues.

The Companies reviewed subsequent events up to March 22, 2013, the date the combined financial statements were approved and issued.
